VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Sunshine Love [Ch. 3 v1.01i Extras] [MrDots Games]

Great game. I love the fact that it is not another fuck fest. The plot makes sense also. The girls don't fall for the MC's huge dick. The models look good and the animations are beautiful.
Keep up the good work!

The game is overall good but not best because of not having harem ending. I understand harem ending is not practical but still it's a game. Dev should consider a harem ending side with single endings. It will make the game the game perfect for all. Overall nice story, nice graphic and nice story buildup for each character. This game is design to have engage and have fun with each character so it is legit to have a atleast one harem ending though in the end you are force to become with a single character ending...that kind of sad me a little.. overall the Dev deserve a ❤ for making this game..Hope in future he might include a harem ending in his other games .Thanks

It was a good game. I got the ending that I wanted, but it didn't look like it was going towards that ending because I didn't get to spend much time with my LI.

It would have been nice to send more time with my choice leading up to the choice at the end. It would have felt more justified. The game , if you went full blown harem, gives you the choice of all them individually, which is fine.

I would have liked it if it didn't try to push you towards the main female. Maybe it wasn't for some, but it felt like that for me.

TOOO boring, I love this dev first game, but this one... I played for 3 to 4 hours, and the only thing I did was read a bunch of boring texts and interactions between the characters in boring and cliche situations (beach, restaurant, etc).

I can't stand the soulless characters in this game, and the writing is bad. The only positive point is the visuals, but at a time when we're inundated with this type of game, that's just not good enough.

Let me start with the most idotic thing that will piss alot of people off.
Game claims to have meaningfull choices that will shape relationships, it claims you can go for true love or stay faithfull, all of it is bullshit.
MC also keeps talking about how the girls is nothing and just a summer flirt and how theres no future with them, so you can take that true love and forget all about that, game truely dosent uphold any promisses.

And the sister will have no such options you will have her forced on you no matter if you like or hate her, every other LI you have the option to follow her route or not and as for relationship points they mean absolutly nothing i testet this and with -27 relationship points with the sister you still end up in bed with her, so for the sister its 100% fake choices, i picked the worst possible all the way and it ment nothing, not only that your given choices like "make out with her" and 2 other choices but when you pick the other 2 like go to bed alone it forces you to pick something else untill your left with only make out with her......its awefull when you want nothing to do with the bitch.

And to make matters worse even if you as the player shows 0 interrest and even try to stay away from the sister, MC will still want to be with her and want to fuck her and such its extreemly annoying that you cant just stay friendly like with every other LI you dont want to be with but MC acts like the sister is hes wife and worry constantly about hiding stuff from her and how she wil react to every little ting MC does....its brainless, think kind of stuff is a constant in game MC being submissive, brainless, affride to talk about anything with anyone, hes supposed to be a lawyer and theres simply no way hes just to much of an idiotic that dont know laws or computers or anything its crazy, and even after breaking up with the sister MC is still affride to talk to her about anything or if she will be worried about MCs ex GF will try to get him back, none of that makes any sense what so ever.

And when you can finaly friendzone her its not even you/MC that does it but the sister that stops it and MC feeling bad about it happening, its really shitty writting, you dont even have the pleasure of putting her in her place and tell her to fuck off......

Also story constantly reminds you that MC has to leave to go back home after the summer because he has a life back there.....it simply just make no sense at all, since back home he has no job, no GF, no appartment other then one he has to sell, so what life is it that is so importen for him to go back to???

Story 2/5
To much just dosent make sense, you have a MC with a nice girlfriend that cant wait for you to leave her for 3 months to live with an old female friend of MC.....you get every feeling that she just wants to break up with MC so it feels a bit idotic, if she had broken up with MC story would make a little more sense really.

Then MC goes to hers old childhood friend/sister and finds out shes lied just about everything and she cant pay MC either and just need MC to help her save her hotel, MC calls hes girlfriend who does everything she can to get MC to stay....its simply just to weird since this isent a NTR game so she shouldent be fucking around or anything right? so why she dosent want MC to come stright back i have no clue.
MC also just forgive to easily so much that he feels more submissive then anything else, put the bitch in her place and dont go back to her 5 mins after saying he needs to clear hes head....wish he a bit more of a backbone.

Another small thing is that MCs childhood friend/sister has also been in a sort of relationship with a dude for 3 years so kinda make it pointless to go after her and break that up since this isent a harem and MC is already spoken for so its kinda a weird game.

What makes it even more weird is when MCs girlfriend calls to tell MC she wants an open relationship, i played a faithfull playthrough so it really just ruins the game knowing you girlfriend is free to fuck around when you dont want that and dont want to do it your self and it kinda gives the NTR feeling which is stupid on its own even if she dosent do anything the idea is still put in your mind.

What makes it even more stupid is that you have already been given the option to stop routes with multiple LIs which you might not have done knowing this shit coming up, i alreayd turned down 3 LIs routes...idiotic...

I really dident like MCs sister/friend she treats MC like garbage, lied to him from day 1, never listen to MC, runs away like a kid for days, and yet game will force you to get kisses, handjobs, BJs and shit from her no matter how low your relationship points are, its idiotic so you cant stay faithfull and its not a harem game so not sure what it is, maybe a how to cheat on your GF trainer? and when she does that shit MC just goes "oh i should stop her but it feels so good" i mean wtf be a fucking man and trow the bitch to the curve.
Game is way to kinetic and your forced to shit you might not want, and relationship points means fuck all.

It also feels like MC goes one way when you go another, like with the sister he wants to be with her and have fun with her, even if your on someone elses route, you can have 100+ relationship points with someone and MC will wonder why that girl acts or does things, but never thinks like that with the sister even if you have 0 or even minus points with her.... its truely idiotic, even with choices when you agree what the sister did to you was bad, MC changes it to "we can still have fun"??? why??? and this is faithfull route???

Its also really annoying how MC constantly and i do mean constantly worries about what the sister thinks, its like they a married or something, he worrys what she thinks when he goes out to visit someone or what she will think if he tells her someone slept in hes bed, i mean why the fuck worry about that none stop they arent a fucking couple what so ever....and yet its like he has to ask to be allowed to visit someone or go somewhere....makes 0 sense, going on a date with someone and MC has to ask if the sister wants to come along i mean whaaat the fuuuck??? even the sister thinks "maybe i should allow MC to spend time with other people" come gimme a break wtf is this all about...they arent a fucking couple why would she have to allow MC to do anything thing shes NOT hes fucking wife or GF or anything, who writes this shit i mean really, and when he kiss some girl he always goes "i sure cant tell sister i kissed someone" why that fuck not?
MC also constantly question him self, "should i tell her or not""should i feel guilty of kissing her" its like hes brainless and cant figure anything out.

The brainless only gets worse as you go along, someone who MC knows is a spy that worked for hes ennemy, comes back and say "oh i dont work for him anymore, we can be friends now" and MC goes to lala land and thinks sure why not i can trust her...... and she can help since she was a good spy, lets ignore that she got cought by a 18 year old.....yep totaly makes sense and she couldent possible lie about anything right..... it just dosent make sense in any way what so ever, had he taken the black highly trained girl along that would have made sense, but a spy that no one would ever trust... nah shitty story again.

And the last thing, the virgin scenes are really bad, most virgins has 0 pain, 0 blood and all pure pleasure, pretty much like any normal sex scene, i think one said ouch out of 4 girls but it was nowhere near a deflower scene even though MC says he deflowered her.

Girls 4/5
There are a bit of everything, bit tits, small tits and they all look nice so there should be something for everyone, it does get ruined by having the sister forced on you like she is.

Animation 3/5
They are good enough to enjoy but still only average.

Music 3/5
Just background music that wont set any moods for scenes and you can pick what it plays so just average stuff.

Tasks 0/5?
There is also a task menu which is absolutly pointless, you dont have any kind of takes or choices or options its purely something that gets done following the story which makes it kinda weird and pointless to have that.

One of the best games I've ever played. Images, graphics, sound effects. Everything is almost perfect.
After completing 3 chapters, I think part 2 is definitely the best part. Many sex scenes and character lines are built in quite detail.
The saddest thing is part 3, when everything went quite well. The ladies work together at the hotel, besides they all accept that the MC can date many people at the same time, which is a great opportunity for us to think about true Harem sex. It's a pity that I haven't been able to witness that yet.
Maybe that's a bit greedy, but I really want part 3 to last longer.
Anyway, the experience the game brings is extremely wonderful. Thanks to the developer, I also hope to see the MC have sex with Ashley and Trisha many more times - best MILF ever.

For me, this is the definition of a 3 Star Game. Nice Graphics. Few spelling mistakes. No Engrish (British-isms though). Dialogue is off. And at least 1 big plot fuck up in the branch I chose.

The plot fuck up = MC is in an open relationship. He tells everyone he’s in an open relationship. In particular, he tells the LOVE INTERESTS he’s in an open relationship.

Yet, if you date multiple LI, the LIs… AND the MC… act as if he’s cheating… referred as “infidelity”… all the way to the endings… what… in the actual… fuck? Drama for drama’s sake…

As I said, though: It’s a decent game. Great release schedule. But, it’s a Mr. Dots game… i.e. entire swaths of conversation seemingly copy/pasted from wiki in a “Did you know that…” type exposition.

So, why in the FUCK am I giving it 5 stars?

+1 Star for:

+1 Star for:

Ending sucks. Way too difficult to get a good one, especially with the 2 best characters. It was a very long game and a lot to play to have it end like that, and a bad ending completely ruins a game. Guess there could be ways to cheat hopefully.

This one is a great example of how a game knowing what it is trying to do covers a great many sins. There is no particular bit of this game that is outstanding, but it accomplishes its goals and for that I give it a solid 4.

The good:
* Excellent UI. Easy to keep track of the good-sized cast, you can easily toggle routes to experiment with scenes, a little "bonus" game (donuts) that doesn't hurt main gameplay, transparent LI scores..... other devs could learn from this.
* The renders and animations are solid. They aren't spectacular, but given the massive number of CGs in the game they are as good as we have any right to ask for. And in the special scenes where the artist and animator took their time, they are downright excellent.
* The pacing is good. They manage to give you a steady flow of sex while still slow-burning where they need to by simply having a ton of LIs (which they can get away with because of the excellent girl-management UI). It's a simple formula, but it works, and it requires a lot of effort to pull off.
* The fetish content is mostly vanilla by f95 standards (incest is core and there is a decent amount of lesbian stuff), with a few quirks you can opt for here and there. Nothing wrong with that. It's not a fetish game, it's built for the masses., and the approach ensures you aren't grossed out by what you hit. (They clearly learned from their NTR experimentation in DMD.)

The bad:
* The writing is, well, Mr Dots. A slightly-stupid MC, a plot that would be silly if it didn't take itself so seriously, 1-dimensional villains, entire paragraphs that appeared to be lifted from product descriptions on the web..... it's just not good enough to justify the amount of words spent. That being said, it does do its job, although your spacebar might be a little bruised by the end of it.
* The endings are enjoyable, but a little rushed. I'd have not minded if they hzd broken the endings up over two or even three releases and made them a lot meatier. A long game deserves a big payoff, and an extra 15-25 CGs per ending would have felt a lot better.

The ugly:
* I already mentioned the plot as "bad", but some of it is worse than that. It's so downright awful it completely takes you out of the game in places. Yeah, it's a porn game and I'm not expecting Shakespeare, but c'mon..... the Evil Businessman is so upset that the MC won't sell the hotel he wants for no apparent reason, that he shoots him in front of a crowd of people? Really?
* The characters are just not compelling at all. Their back stories are weak, their motivations are silly, and their reasons for obsessing on the MC are comically flimsy. Fortunately they are all hot and easy, so it's possible to just love 'em as sex toys.

All in all, it's a bit of a guilty pleasure. I enjoyed the game enough to pledge Mr Dots the whole time and play every update as soon as it came out, so they are obviously doing something right.

If you're looking for a nice fap game that is less cringe than some Japanese WTF-burger and won't try to bother you with feels, this is a really good choice.

I really want to like this game, but it's hard. The dialogue is so hard to get through without skipping because of the INSANE amount of unnecessary things being said, and thought, and REPEATED. The writing is by far the biggest flaw of this game, the other smaller flaws I can easily look past.

+ I think the renders overall look great. Good-looking characters, but I agree that it's mostly hair and cup size that differs and not much else - but beautiful nonetheless. Great quality upgrade from past games.

+ The initial plot points of rekindling a sibling relationship while visiting a different town and helping out with a business is fine. I was also excited to be introduced to tasks to achieve to earn star ratings for the hotel.
- The writer's decision to have Sister's lie in this specific manner to get MC to come and help with the business, and explaining it as her wish to rekindle their relationship and that she "just didn't know what else to do" is INSANE. It's even more insane when you think about that this is supposed to be an attractive LI for the player. The lying isn't the problem, it's how her character is being portrayed and how, if we're to believe she is a sweet and caring person (or just a decent human being) there are other ways to create the drama, conflict... whatever the writer was going for here.
-I'll be honest and say I've only reached one star for the hotel, but I'm really disappointed with how underwhelming this "mechanic" is, because it's just visual so far. I have zero say in this, I can't even influence it in any way or something as basic as choosing a priority or whatever. I'd much rather a game not introducing a management gaming mechanic that doesn't allow you to manage anything. Correct me if I'm wrong and this gets rectified later.

To sum up, the game is okay. It has some strong points, and I really to see great potential for a lovely vanilla harem game (or single LI path if you so choose), but I don't think the game will ever reach that potential. The thought struck me that I could try and edit the dialogue to be less repetitive and make more sense - but who am I to claim to be better? I'm just a reviewer, lol. I'm sure the writer did their best. But I hope they read these reviews and do their best to improve, because to be perfectly honest I haven't seen much growth in the writing from DMD to this. The MCs thought process and dialogue in every game is basically the same, and you can't convince me it's a "certain writing style".

To end on a more positive note - to the dev team: please continue making games! I have huge respect for anyone creating games and I wish you all the best. I do enjoy your games to some extent, mostly for the family friendly (hehe) focus.

PRO 1) Best girl (SPOILER):
One of my favorite moments with Shortcake (the normally shy surfer girl) was when she suddenly wielded a taser and shouted away a dog to save a kitten. And that time she tricked the MC into thinking a dolphin was a shark.. I would love to see a sequel focused on her.

PRO 2) Best guy (SPOILER):
Mr. Roshi's "man-up" talks where dated but fit his character perfectly. I like to think he became sort of an extra father figure to the MC. Which would explain why Roshi's passing affected him so much despite knowing him for a short time.

PRO 3) Solo paths:
Given the amount of potential LIs the pathing is executed fairly well. The ability to solo one LI is a huge bonus for me.

PRO 4) Sunshine Bay:
A beachside town with a community of motor scooter riders. Perfect setting for a game like this. The beach vibe is what hooked me.


CON 1) Worst girl (SPOILER):
The twins. I think they should have been individualized better. Their relationship points and bio pages are combined for example.

CON 2) Worst guy (SPOILER):
Victoria's father's character design is the laziest in the entire game. I was a little disappointed when he turned out to literally be Danny Trejo after Victoria said he was Machete-like..

CON 3) Character interaction:
Most of the potential LIs rarely interacted with one another. Even at large gatherings.

CON 4) Redundant Dialog (SPOILER):
Example; the extra reminder that the MC is wearing Roshi's medallion before he[MC] was shot. It was already obvious that he wears it everywhere. Having the player partially forget this fact may have given that scene a little more impact.

So, I've got to say, this game is pretty darn good from start to finish. What really impressed me was the amount of attention each love interest gets. It's like they all get their fair share of the spotlight, and there's a ton of variety between them. It keeps things fresh and interesting.

One thing I appreciated is that there's nothing that feels too forced in the game, except maybe for some scenes with the main LI. But honestly, that's totally understandable since she's the driving force behind the whole story. So, no big complaints there.

Now, don't get me wrong, it's not all sunshine in this game. The dialogue and overarching story could have used a little extra polish. I found myself skipping through some of the more boring bits because, let's be honest, there's quite a bit of unnecessary detail that could've been trimmed down. The main villain was a bit underwhelming too – nothing to write home about.

But here's the deal: these hiccups, while noticeable, don't detract too much from the overall experience. The game may not be a literary masterpiece, but it's definitely in the top 10 or 20% of what you can find out on this site. The setting, while not mind-blowing, does its job and provides a solid backdrop for the characters' development. And it's really the characters and their relationships that keep you hooked and make this game worth your time. So, while there's room for improvement in certain aspects, it's still a worthwhile journey.

The developer did a fantastic job when it comes to pumping out content at a relatively fast pace. Now, all that's left is to see if the endings are as satisfying as the rest of the game. I mean, there are a lot of girls to choose from, so I'm hoping each of them gets the attention they deserve. Even if they don't get entirely new scenes, I just hope there's enough content to make players feel satisfied with the journey.

In a nutshell, this game is a great experience. Kudos to the dev for keeping us entertained and invested in the story. Can't wait to see how all those different paths and romances will play out in the end!

Really surprised at the low rating for this game. Mr Dots games are head and shoulders above almost any other developer and this game is no exception. Absolutely amazing women! Especially shortcake! Unlike a lot here I really enjoy the story and find the sex scenes to be very enjoyable as well. Probably my favorite developer along with Cheeky Gimp.

My only complaint with this particular game was the twins history. Even though it fits the story it really ruined their characters for me and they were 2 of my favorites. They seem to be on a redemption path though so we shall see.

Beautiful girls, the setting is lovely, good amount of content from a serious developer, the scenes are pretty good, the only thing could be better is the story, i know is a chill one but i feel characters can be a little bit generic sometimes specially the mc, what a generic and boring dude, definitely needs to be more open talking about the choices or paths you take or the way you take them, but overall, an excelent game that actually deserves to be supported

This is a story about a man who goes to a paradisiacal beach to help his former step-sister run a hotel, and on the mean time he has sexual relationships with every woman in visible range including the step-sister, her mother (his dad's ex-girlfriend), her aunt and cousin, the entire hotel staff, and many others, frequently showing having a ton of game and performing feats of strength and stamina that are incredible considering his complete lack of a spine.

Never have I ever seen a guy bitch so much about insecurity while in the very midst of achieving everything he believes himself incapable of. This is a man who might have fucked a woman in every way and every hole imaginable, and still wonders “did she invited me just to talk, or is she thinking of doing something else”? “Did she ask me to remove all my clothes just for a massage, or does she have other ideas”? “Is she deep-throating me because she’s interested in me, or was it just an accident”?

The man is dense as neutron star, that’s what I mean.

It's a shame because the game is actually well made. The writing, while boring, predictable, and often baffling, shows proper grammar and spelling (I know, such a low bar), and even if the plot isn't that great -- including a ton of "that's not how any of this works" moments and mustache-twirling villains with no grounded motivation beyond being evil -- it's at least well written on a technical level. The renders are very consistent in quality and varied in locations, clothing, and staging, even if the characters all look like plastic dolls. The UI is solid, and includes plenty of nice easter eggs if you care about that kind of thing.

Long dialogues who dont mean anything, idiotic wimpy mc, awful mcs and another step in mr dots "no we dont ntr but we are totally adding ntr content" slippery slope that started in DMD. dont waste your time with this game.

MrDotsGames - Why am i not surprised? After the disappointment which was MELODY comes Sunshine Love. A game where the developer is going to write EVERY LITTLE DETAIL. Im surprised the developer doesn't add Breathing texts in the game. The writing is so horrendous, renders are okayish, story is crap. Dont know why this has 9.9 million views. Tried the game, stay away from it. Its pure garbage.

Nah this didn't do it for me, a complete step down from Melody. It's a story about managing a hotel BUT I DON'T SEE ANY HOTEL MANAGEMENT AT ALL???! Uninteresting and flat characters, lengthy dialogue that doesn't get anywhere, the renders are high quality but looks too sanitized for me, another goddamn Asian character named YUKI for the 163th time. Most importantly, the scenes are just plain boring.

Everything is aggressively mid. It's not enjoyable as a "slow-paced" game and it definitely does not have replay value.

Story is fun, renders aren't the best but they have a fun style that works well with the animations. I understand why this game isn't super highly regarded, but some people just want a relatively vanilla game with solid art and animations. I can always count on every new release of Sunshine Love to be an enjoyable time with long lasting replay value.
