Ren'Py - Straitened Times [v0.53.1] [HRelease]

Decent concept but a terrible execution thus far. Could this be an excellent game? Absolutely, there are things implemented that I really enjoy (like the little popup alerts that quickly fade away). In it's current state it is nearly unplayable, for me at least. There are a plethora of errors and bugs that cause a forced rollback and abandonment of a course of action, there is seemingly no way to initiate certain activities regardless of the relationship levels, etc...

I do hope that this gets the traction and work it needs. If so, it had the potential to be good. If not... well, it's a DJ Khaled then... "and another one".

I loved that game. It's been a long time since I got so horny with a game. It has a lot of replays, it's true, but the female character models are not the same as in other games, and the erotic scenes are very suggestive.

My Rating for (V0.3.3 ) is:

Pros:
+ Good Graphics
+ Nice Story

Cons:
- Confusing Game Play

Conclusion:
Very nice graphics, but that was it for me, I believe the Dev put a lot of work and heart into the game, but either I,m dumb or I just don`t get it, I know that Im supposed to find out what happend to my dad, but where do I start?, yeah it tells me the tasks to do,but how to do it`?, I sure don`t know, was stuck in the school after seeing visiting the Principle and was it,just dropped it.


Last Words:
If it was less stuff to do ,and a little easier I believe you could have alot of fun here,but for me it just to tough.

Story- 4/5
Renders-3.5/5
Dialogue- 4/5
GUI-3/5 ( Not so important for me)

Actually good open-world sandbox style game , People complain about grinding but grinding is what makes a game more ... Realistic? .. In its early stages game is time-consuming and very enjoyable.. with several little scenes in it and big perspectives in future .. Renders could have been better but they are still OK..

Sad to see such a technically ambitious game turn out to be so bad.

I have little to add about the game besides what other reviewers have already said. Perhaps the insane levels of grindiness, overwhelming UI, absolute lack of guidance, and the lack of actual content will improve with more updates, but it doesn't seem like it. Which is honestly a shame - would really love for this game to succeed.

Ok, there are a few problems I have with this game.
There are the obvious ones:
a few bugs here and there (watch 18+ tv with sis, fap, oh now you're the other sis? lol what)
Poor english every now and then or typos etc.

Then there is the lack of content. This is the real issue. There is not enough reward for time spent. Not in the form of tease, sexual content, story content, or dialogue.
What this game has a lot of is mechanic content. A whole lot of clicking and repetition without reward.

I used money cheats to speed things up and after an hour I'm giving up. Good attempt at making a game but this is way too much game and not enough story.

I rode the hamster wheel, and I'm done with it.

Pros:
A pretty decent UI
Decent writing quality

Cons:
Average at best women
Quest system has the user run around like a chicken with its head cut off
No real progress made after a few weeks of in-game gameplay

Your two "sisters" get jobs, and you are given a clue as to where they are working, and you are given a quest to talk to them about their new jobs. But I got no conversation choices about their jobs. After 3 weeks of sharing a room with your "mother", including exercising, and cuddling for a minimum of 2hrs each night watching TV, the most you have accomplished is you sometimes see her boobs when she puts her sports bra on in the morning. And so far, school servers pretty much zero purpose except a time sink.

Maybe it will improve in time, and maybe a walkthrough besides the in-game format of one will make it easier to follow. For now, I'm putting this one on Ignore.

The game is good! The characters are very beautiful!
some things need to be improved, such as: game interface and objectives must be more understandable!
If these factors are improved it will be 5 stars.
it's a good place to start!
I recommend it to everybody
