HTML - Abandoned - Sistersitting / Housesitting [v0.10.0 Fixed 4] [i107760]

The story is fun and worth reading. It's unfortunate the developer burned out on this project and wished there was a follow-up or conclusion. Will continue to keep this tracked in the off chance there's a new update.

Just finished 0.10, and I have to say, absolutely A tier.

While I did have grips with the detailed explanations of menial tasks (the biggest offender of which being the cooking scenes), I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the story!

There were many times where I felt completely immersed. I wasn't expecting a story so well written.

While unfortunately abandoned atm, I do hold out hope for an update.

For now I'm giving the game an average mark because even if the writing is great, I really dislike the MC and the slow pace of the story.
He's too much of a pushover for my taste and I feel like there were situations where he could have made a move to go further while still keeping it believable.

Also, don't go in expecting sexual content, there's very little of it (2 scenes of preliminaries), the rest are innuendos and the MC asking himself way too many questions and being a bit dim at times about the situations he's in.

Reviewing for [v0.10.0 Fixed 4] [i107760]
I played up to the end of day 4 and stopped.

The story is original enough and I could tell that a good bit of effort was put in, but wasn't a very immersive experience for me. Lack of meaningful choices aside, the biggest issue for me was the way the characters spoke. The language is overly formal, and not at all like how you would expect someone in their teens or early adulthood would talk.

The way the brother speaks and thinks is very mechanical and not at all familiar. Like there's nothing wrong with a younger dude trying to act mature for his age, but he comes off more like an emotionally suppressed adult pretending to be a kid. I don't get the feeling that the brother is really ever having fun or feeling any bit of joy.

As for the sister, she's pretty much incapable of independent thought. Nearly all of her actions are guided by her brother. She rarely initiates or suggests something unless prompted. She doesn't seem capable of doing anything without telling her brother first or somehow getting him involved.

I think the dev has a good idea, but I feel like the the story needs to balanced out better to make the characters more human-like and relatable. Even if you were to tell me that it gets better later, you would still need to sell me at the start. I'm not going to burn through however many in-game days on hope alone.

Lover of text based games here. (No Spoilers 0.10)

Good:
1. Characters are good and interesting so far, would like to see more talking between the player and love interests though.
2. Pacing is slow so far for the sister, but makes it better in my opinion. (Looking forward to see how it progresses)
3. Setting is nice and helps to build a picture in the head, which is a big part of text based games for me personally.

Bad:
1. UI is pretty bad, but in fairness doesn't detract from the story itself with it being text.
2. Lack of meaningful choices from what I've seen, hopefully there will be some interesting things in the future.
3. Would rather see more text on the interaction between player and others instead of cooking food.

All in all i'd give the game a 4.5 so far. (Rounded to 5 for f95zone)

I rarely play R18 Text based game but when I do. I do with for the plot but damn your work is giving me a Boner for some reason. It's so well made.

The way you made the flow of the story is so well made but my only concern is. If there there is more Dialog option for us to use we would 100% feel like we are the character on the story.. Pretty neat I loved your work.

Good story. But not much of a game, or even choose your own adventure story for now, cause it's too linear. But I definitely wanna see how it ends. The author has a talent for writing. Hopefully he finishes this.

It's not a bad story, and you can customize the relationships obviously. And there's nothing too "porny corny" in the writing. The extreme lack of content is confusing, though, since it's just writing.

Writing is phenomenal. Makes you feel like you're actually the MC. It's not the typical adult story where the characters just get into it. They have goals, they have their own problems, their own personalities. The absolute best game I've played so far.

This game, even though its text only is really exciiting, as it is very well written. I hope the next update is coming soon. I love that you can choose between roommate and sister and I actuallly didnt skip through the dialogue too much.

I rarely read text-based novels like this one, but with all the high ratings and nice tags I decided to give it a try.

Well it is a captivating story. It is rather simple: one main character and two main girls. It's not a typical porn story, there is no quick sex. It's more on the side of realistic depiction of certain relationships.

It's not too deep or wordy, but not hasty either. The pacing is good.

The characters are endearing. It's not "War and Peace", rather a short novel with a distinct erotic inclination.

If you like some romance and sexy young girls, this might be exactly a story for you.

My only regret is that the author doesn't plan a trio relationship. Both girls are too wonderful to lose any of them. And I could easily imagine 2 female best friends sharing one boyfriend. (In fact, I observed that quite a few times in my life. There's nothing unusual or wrong in that.)

Anyways, looking for further updates!

[v0.9.8]

Really good game! The writing is just amazing, I finished reading it in one go. Story is very slow, but kept me interested all the time. I love the little sister, she is just so cute, and the brother is also a great character. Very realistic plot.

I thought I was looking for a cute ecchi game, what I got was a well written story that brings the characters to life. The fact this game has no imagery plays into the authors well written work to help set the scene with little effort to the imagination, but its also the gaps in the details that lets the reader really throw in their own personal idea on how the scene ultimately looks. Absolutely a game you will binge in one night, I am looking forward to future story updates.

Simple premise that doesn't immediately delve into a generic degenerate sexual fantasy but goes to explore a more hurt-felt family dynamic. Although lacking in content, it shows promise. Should the creator stick with it, maybe increase the pace of updates, it might just become a novel to remember.

Really good game! The writing is so good, you just get addicted and keep reading. I finished the game in one go. I never read so many words in my life, I normally don't even like text games.

The sister is so cute I just love her. I really hope the developer keeps writing about her more, I want them to get together.

Has very high potential imo. Just wish we'd get another update. If you're into HTML games, I can definitely recommend this one. The writing is believable , and there are several adjustable settings , and the incest tag is totally optional. Regardless, give it a try.

This game... I started it because I like to read and hearing of the good reviews I changed my mind, thought I'd try it - download is quick....

I read it through that night. Couldn't stop. And I was SO FUCKING disapointed - that it's not finished yet. I wanted MORE. Captivated me all day. I had to pm the author and beg him to continue.

If every game was written as good as this, none of these games would need any renders. My fantasy filled the holes.

The writing of this one is just amazing. I genuinely care more about the story than the perverted stuff. And the perverted stuff is pretty good, too.

I would prefer a darkgray/lightgray theme (instead of black/white) as it was pretty hard on the eyes.

Let me start by saying the writing is superb. That said the story is pretty much streamlined and the choices presented where underwhelming. I lost interested around the swimming lessons, everything seems to slowly lead into a romantic interaction with the sister and frankly I can't blame the author for that. It is in the tags and that is why I am upping the review by one point.

In short, you are loosing a lot by making this text only but not capitalizing on what that allows (much more variety/player choice per scene). Currently each scene is a page of text followed by essentially 'next' or two choices, whereas what I wold expect were choices per paragraph or two.

Perfect! I want a fan tag for this I like it so much. Honestly where its at right now is so good and wholesome. Ive done every thing to be the best big bro. Not taking the dirty options leads to such wholesome things. I hope that's a cannon path we can take.
