I actually enjoyed this game. It was a fun short story with a lot of laughs, and tons of amazing animations. As many have pointed out, the endings felt half-done, rushed, and generally fell far short of what they could have been. I did laugh my ass off at the Tina ending, especially because of the line from the other route about them naming a venereal disease after here in the future.

I do wish we'd had a Stephanie solo ending, and/or Blaire/Stephanie throuple happy ending, but dev seemed to have lost interest in this work. Could also have been intentionally trolling players, based on the line he threw in about how people didn't like the ending of his other game.

Still, despite the half-baked endings, the game was a fun romp, and only took up about an hour of my day. I'm overall happy I decided to give it a shot.

So Goosenards have some nice tools and skills, even mogging other devs with some cloth sim. The bare physics one thought is the shit, creating maybe the best jiggles in renpy history.

It's such a shame that the writer is not really a writer. After 4th erotic scene moment ago I wanted to critique them in here just now.
But now I read this thing:
This game is shit. So, two endings. The first ever decision in the game locks you into one of two routes. DEATH route or FAILURE OF POTENTIAL route. Your decisions dont matter, fuck the fatty and you get a fat scene and Steph scene.
DEATH - Accept Tina
You fuck Tina a bunch. You fucking die, well your dick does so its close enough. Of aids, herpes and shit they havent inveted yet.

FOP - Refuse Tina
You refused Tina, you got to have sex with Blair and Stephanie, a threesome even. Then Stephanie is freaked out by your crotch goblin marrying her mother and she vanishes. Blair gets pregnant.

Thats the game. Chaos has a bland ending from what I remember but this is just crap, made even worse because Chaos had the same damn ending and Goose clearly didn't learn a thing.
...and it totally makes sense.
The soulless, contentless, barebone animations with not even a hint of other dimension are probably the greatest predictor for the upcoming shitshow of a story.

And while I write passively aggressive for fun, I am genuinely sincerely recommending you - there is a lot of games under which I write the exact opposite of this post. I don't think you will, I know for sure I wouldn't be able to, but the most logical move for you would be to duo with some screenwriter-like counterpart of yours.

I played the final version. The cliffhanger ending of the Chapter 2 and the story until then promised a lot, promised one of the best games, so that's why the disappointment. The last update wasn't on par with the first two chapters, it was very short, rushed and shallow, neither the animations or the writing were on par with those of the first two chapters.
As for the endings, they weren't bad, just the same dark humor of the author that can be noticed in other moments of the game and just as absurd and disconnected from reality as the entire story. As a note, the developer mastered some scenes, like the bj, but the rest aren't on par. Anyway, it's just a twisted erotic fantasy with funny endings in the same style. Many wouldn't consider it funny, few enjoys this trolling style of humor, but I found the Tina ending as funny, only that that ending came way too soon and out of nowhere.
I think the developer should seriously think about another take and restart from the ending of Chapter 2. The premise for this game is too good to let it go to waste. I checked some of his other works and this one has the best premise by far and generally the first two chapters are his best work, so it would be a shame to let it go to waste like this, when he could have the father keep cucking his son and sleep with any new girlfriends his son has. I mean the game could go for a while just doing that and introducing new girls, but the story could go any other way, the possibilities are endless. Maybe with some help the developer can engage in projects with a larger scope. With the skills he already has it's a shame to keep doing these way too short games that end when they are in fact about to get truly interesting.

Well, i didn't know what i was expecting, got curious by the plot.
Despite the morally questionnable lore (it's only a game after all so why not...), I got really bluffed by the quality of the scenes and animations. Somehow made them almost feel real.
Really curious of what the dev will be working on next (Hopefully something a little more mature ..).

yeah that's why i didn't entirely hate the Tina ending it was kind of fitting with the story if you go the path but wish there was a good ending variation.
Oh I agree, there could have been three or four more endings easily added but for what there was, it was the right flavor. Cheers

Well i guess i learned 2 things from playing this VN. Be a responsible dad and avoid sluts.
If you're a responsible dad, your daughters will never need to be sluts. All their needs will be taken care of. *wink wink, nudge nudge*

another half-assed ending as usual
one would think making short KNs and semi-VNs will result in at least fully completed game, but nah... this dev have attention span of average tiktok user, jumping from one game to another
it is what, fourth game already? with fifth in progress right now, and it's same shit in every one of them

Fun little game with humorous moments.
- Tina felt like had the most fleshed out sex scenes but her route is just foreshadowing of a bad end.
- Stephanie's uh... not even sure there is a route here. Kinda got weird how she just ran away.
- Blaire's was a fun one definitely, but the end felt underwhelming.

I did like how if you are a dick to your son and the girls, you end up having your dick severed. But if you are relatively neutral and just go after the other girls, you still end up in a sticky situation with another kid on the way. High points just for the writing.

Played out the Troll ending first. Jarring to say the least! Then played out the Blair Pregnant ending by saying "no" to son's cheerleader girlfriend in Ch1. Ok, but still a super rushed ending! I enjoyed the art style and animations, but it seems the dev lost interest and rather than abandon it, just squeezed off an ending.

The ending, kinda felt like it should be followed by Wah Wah Wah music. Yeah, I thought OK, I will do my normal, follow along with the days playing it on the days of the week the game is on, only for the ending to suddenly hit like boom. So, guess this game is done now. Not sure what I think about it either.

You would've been better off not finishing this VN, than what you did with it. Very disappointing.

Actually a really promising game and story!
With some better phrasing, no damn red hands fixed pubes or well... fixed bodies overall muuultiple endings hd renderings etc.
Just add school setting and that book MC is working on, and make the choices's matter more.
And this could easily be a great game in case the developers wants to make like 10 chapters or more.

PS. Music was great and audio for the x scenes was really made it more real, i wish more devs used that.

Isn't it a hoot to see all these reviews vent their furious frustrations at being hornswoggled by the ending of a free porn game?? I know. But it does tell you the latent power of this dev's art. I mean, the 'date' scene with Blaire was IMO one of the best of its kind in the AVN canon. Funny, romantic, perverse, hot AF...all the things we love about this dev. Including the decision to let rip a noxious fart of an ending. I'll be careful not to get too close to any characters in the aptly named "All the Wrong Things", though...
