In-depth review of the completed version! (v.23 ES)

1. STORY
It starts as the typical incest story we all know.
We have the bitchy sister. The cute "innocent" girl, the "Shy, prude, slightly chubby girl" & of course the mother who never dates because she just exists for the M- a because of her job.
You can't really say that there is a main story except for the people who want to ban porn. In the end, you start pursuing certain character-specific routes while dangling down a linear background storyline.
Nothing exceptional and even kinda boring sometimes. But I certainly did like the writing during the sex scenes. It was better than in most games.
And we, of course, have our cliche corruption beginnings.
"Oh my god, he/she is my brother/sister/mother/son! Why would I think about him/her like that!?" "But he/she is soo hot." "Oh my god it's so wrong but it feels so good."
Yup, never heard before and it will occur through the entire game.
In my first playthrough, I somehow managed to drop out of every route except for the mom routes.
I dropped out of Liza's route, just because I told her after Brody cheated on her, to dump him.
As it seems you have to be the "Nice guy who would get friend-zoned a lot in RL" type of guy to stay on their routes.
One slightly harsh/honest answer and you're done.
I did like the flashbacks with Sasha. It explained why the MC knows something about sex and isn't a natural-born satisfier.
More to the character-specific routes in the actual character tab.
A huge positive and this earned the third star was the ending. It was a very nice sweet harem-pregnancy ending with all relevant girls together. (Except Liza! I'm glad she's gone.)
2. Art
This is the by far weakest part of the game. When I started playing the game I was like "Mh, these are pretty grainy but it was his first version", so I just overlooked it.. but it never got better. Even at the end of the game the renders only improved by 15-35%. For a dev with almost 1000 patreons at the time of this review and 2 years of development, this is just ridiculous.
There were a lot of reused renders which is okay if they were good. But this isn't the case here. The art is below the average of a 2019 adult game.
He certainly did have the financial resources to upgrade to a better system but I guess he was just too lazy.
Speaking about laziness, the characters almost never change their outfits. Always the same fucking thing except for certain occasions (Movie nights, dates, beach, shopping trips.)
The posing is really sloppy in the first 65% of the game. Just pay attention to their hands (especially Rachels). It's like they forgot what they normally do with their hands.
To make matters worse, he often uses one render for several lines of text with all kinds of emotions. This is supposed to be a visual novel. At least make it somewhat interactive and appealing to the eye.
There were no animations and I actually didn't mind. I don't need them and it's probably for the better unless we want to see grains of sand dancing.
Some scenes feature very artificial blurred renders. The dev must've seen how grainy they were and used a blur-denoiser. All details were gone and they did look like a Genesis 2 character crossed with a doll.
The expressions are mediocre to below average. Sometimes they look like someone who just spent a day with Snoop Dog. (Looking at you Hazel & Riley.)
It's supposed to be a POV game but many times the characters don't look into (your eyes) the camera or at the actual object and stair holes in the air. Totally sloppy and the definition of "good enough".
On the bright side, all the characters had a natural-looking body. Nothing oversized or weird. I especially liked Rachel's & Miley's.
3. Main characters
Liza:
Liza, also known as the shy chubby girl who likes to be emotionally abused by her ugly balding boyfriend.
It's started very interestingly with her abusive boyfriend. (So much wasted potential.)
I just can't get myself to like her. She's so weak and it's like she is mentally handicapped. Brody did treat her like shit and she still acts like a love drunken moron. "He can be such a sweet guy!" and in order to get into her pants you need to act like a Nice Guy
"No Liza! You're so beautiful!" - "You look really beautiful in that dress" - "You think so?" Ugh. I guess she's just not my type. I did actually like her body but her face reminds me of a monkey-pelican mix.
Then, 20 minutes into the game she dumps the idiot who likes to fuck trannys in his office for everyone to show. (I would actually prefer the tranny over Liza). And well.. congratz, you finished her background story and you can now corrupt her like every other girl in the game. Always the same just with another hull.
She had some weird behavior and she would change her mind in 5 seconds. If you go shopping with her and Rachel, she will be all insecure and be like "Isn't it weird then?" 3 seconds later... "I must say I'm starting to like it as well".
Well, that was fast.
Bella:
Bella, also known as the bitchy girl who hates you for some reason.
And it's the same thing as with Liza. It starts interestingly.. why doesn't she like you? You'll find out about someone blackmailing her. Great, there is potential here.. annnnd it's gone.
You got the drive and she's free to corrupt.
The climax was that she had her revenge on Dwayne which wasn't anything too dramatic. It was fun but you will forget it very soon.
She's kinda attractive compared to her siblings. But still not hot. Over the course of the game, she has become more and more uninteresting.
The last hope I had was when Rachel caught you with Bella. I hoped for a bit of drama and something bittersweet.. but no.. 1-2 days later you were in a Harem with both. I have nothing against a harem.. but it all happened too fast.
Susan:
Susan aka. the mother created for her son. It starts as the typical "I work so much and I have no time for something else." thing. But I was surprised. Susan and the Discreet story was actually interesting. I really liked her dom setup and she "saved" the game for me. In the Discreet story, we also meet my favorite side character, Adriana.
The mom is by far my favorite character in the game but still, she lacks something that would make her special.
Rachel:
Rachel, the cute innocent girl who has a slutty best friend.. How surprising.
Rachel wasn't bad.. but she wasn't good either. She is just nothing special. She acts kinda cute but it's a story we all know too well. She gets slowly gets corrupted and she sometimes acts like a male MC in an incest game.
What I really hate about her story is the fact that you can drop out of her route in the first 2 minutes. She will get into the bathroom and will see your magnificent schlong. You then have to choose to pursue her half-naked through the house.. or leave her be. I did choose to leave her be and bam I lost the corruption point. What the fuck?
Isn't it more logical to leave her be? Let her cool down?
If you pursue her and knock on her door.. She will just scream that you should go away and then masturbates.. but if you leave her be she won't masturbate. Why? Did she need to scream at you first? Wouldn't it be more logical the other way around? That you would actually give her space? So she can fap in peace?
Well, it's just my POV and I think she's totally uninteresting. The typical cute innocent but-I-want-to-get-fucked-hard-incest-adult-game-girl.
But I had a good laugh at her Golum pose right after Mrs Steel and Mr Woodman left.
4. Side characters
Adriana:
Adriana, also known as the slave of Mistress Susan. She's that weird looking receptionist at Discreet and my favorite side character of the game.
I don't find her attractive, she sometimes even looks kinda weird but she still somehow pulls it off. She has some very nice sex scenes, especially the more extreme "enema insertion belly bulge" was good. The threesome scenes with Susan & the MC were the best sex scenes in the entire game.
Sadly, there was a lot of potential wasted. But she did actually get more attractive in the late phase of the game.
Alina & Ana:
I told both to fuck off right at the beginning. There is no story attached at all. Ana just wants to see you naked and then keeps groping you until you fuck that blank worthless skank.
Alina actually was kinda cute and hat potential but it was all ruined by her first try to do you. Out of nowhere, Alina appears in the bathroom and says "I want to taste you. I want to make you feel good."
Uhh.. how about no? Who would want to fuck such a blank character? No story, no reason, just for the sake of sex. No thanks.
Riley:
Riley was nothing special, too. She had huge potential in the Brody-Liza storyline but it ended way too fast and with that, she had served her purpose. The expression and posing used on her were the worst in the entire game. (At least in the supermarket) And in all this time she never changed her outfit once. Damn, she must've smelled. But on the bright side, she was one of the more attractive characters.
Hazel:
Hazel is a bimbo mom. That's all you gotta know.
Miley & Sabine:
Miley was by far the most attractive teen character in this game. Sabine & Megan would be right behind her.
Megan:
Megan, the first I saw her I was excited to find another hot character.. and 10 seconds into the conversation, she already spreads her legs.. But I somehow didn't get to fuck her. She gave me her number and that was it. I guess I must've missed something.
As for most side characters in this game, it didn't take much to fuck them. Pretty boring if you ask me. I like a challenge. Where is the fun if you just can fuck everyone.
5. General:
So many unnecessary one choice clicks... I don't want to recall how many times I have clicked on "Wait till the evening", "Sleep" etc.
6. TL DR:
The story is decent for an adult game (This is an adult game, not a story focused game with adult elements.) The art isn't good at all. The posing & expressions were sloppy. Laziness is all over the game.. It starts with the posing, the reused renders, one render for several lines of conversation with different moods, never changing outfits (except for events), sex was too easy to get and the characters weren't depth. Especially most of the side characters just existed for the purpose of sex.
But on the other side, there is a nice variety of fetishes, from enema insertions, golden shower, bdsm to pregnancy. The harem pregnancy ending was also very sweet. (Without Liza of course.) The writing through the sex scenes was pretty good.
Is it worth to play? If you want to fap, yes.
If you want an intriguing story, no.
But if you like a harem, you'll like this game.
But that doesn't change the fact, that I still view this game as overrated.
The only explanation I can give myself for why it is rated so high is the harem fetish.
I'm curious to see his next game, hopefully with better art & more in-depth characters.
