VN - Ren'Py - Surviving My Family [Chapter 1] [Carmine Note Games]

Played until chapter 1

Not much history yet apart from the introduction of the main cast but it has potential

If you don't like lesbian and/or the idea of a girl taking the iniciative with another girl (to be ready for your or even in general when clearly you are their main interest for all of them), then you may not like a character or two from the cast

If you can look pass that and enjoy the rest then, this may like you,maybe not yet, since there is only 1 sex scene and it contains the MC with 2 of the girls but if you are curious go on and enjoy

Let it cook

Okay, it is a surprisingly high-effort project. The writing is great, fast-paced, still somewhat surface level but overall very entertaining. The MC is a goofball sometimes though which is not my favorite, still, I do appreciate the effort that was put into these renders. Looking forward to more. Remember, frequent updates are how you win around here, no matter how small it is.

+ interesting story
+ music
+ some girls are cute
+ animations are ok

- unavoidable lesbianism and lesbian tendencies. Main predator here is Lilith, so like it or not - you are forced to share. Probably in the future we will see more of that. I don't like this
- pseudo 3some scene. MC fucked only one girl, yea.. you heard right.. and it was also very short, wtf? This is no how you make a proper group action
- no important choices
- mc, thankfully he is not a total disaster but for me his behavior is annoying. He need to grow some fucking balls

Promising story, however if you are not into lesbianism & sharing your harem girls, then you better stay away from this. 2 stars

A very early version.
Nothing spectacular, but the renders are good given HS.

I liked the characters and the overall structure a lot.

The MC is both likeable and feels like an actual person.

There are a ton of possible LIs already, so combining them into a cohesive story will be a challenge.

For now I think it is worth a try, although it is just a kinetic introduction yet.

Edit: had to bump it down a *. I really dislike the dynamic of the "threesome" scene.
It was avoidable to continue, but the sister and wife were already intimate when you entered.
And you have to make nicknames anyway, even tho at this point I didn't have any interest in ever have any interactions with the sister again.
Don't put LIs in sexual situations without player input, it is as simple as that. Especially if they're unavoidable in the first place.
I will follow the development to see if the sister will be fully avoidable in the future, but I doubt it.
A bummer.

What I like most about this AVN are the characters and that every (female) character has their own nickname. Their antics are fun to read and after reading this, I kind of get the double meaning in the title. Because that family is a handful xD

It was very short, too short. But good reads (or updates) are always too short, so it's actually a good thing =P

What I liked less were some of the faces, mainly that red haired (step)daughter, but that's just a matter of taste.

Seriously though, this prologue is solid. It sets the stage very well, theme is also not overly used (or I haven't read that many zombie apocalypse avn's)

Last but not least an honorable mention; The little things, like walking animations or other little animations that adds a little immersion to the story. Very very well done! It didn't distract and gave a little more depth? (I'm not sure how to describe it). In any case, it complemented the story and I thought I should mention it.

a good prologue with many characters that left me interested in knowing more about their story, I hope the next part comes out soon ,sad that the prologue has come to an end looking forward to the next chapters
