Unity - Taffy Tales [S5 v1.07.3c] [UberPie]

Fun in the beginning, but most of the game is just a single character, which I would even go as far as to call side character. This game has few characters with a decent amount of content, rest have like... 3 scenes, if not less. Recent update introduced AI imaginery... The update was so hyped just for them to underdeliver like that...

I'm giving it 2 stars as it has atleast something praiseworthy.

This just keep getting worst with every update. Clearly the road map is a joke and always the same girls with constant updates. The ai nightmare fuel and the developers weird netorare fetish was the las drop for me...

The game is good. Really like Becca, Priscilla and Stacy. Red's an interesting way to get the MC to become kind of a chad. I wish some of the task notes were more clear on what to do but other than that the game is fine.

Game has had its ups and downs with development hell but the art is amazing and the story is really hot and compelling. I always come back and check in on this one, it's definitely worth it.

Writing is good and animation is stellar.

Quite extensive very enjoyable game. Wish there was a bit less milf focus as that's not my preference but there's plenty of other girls to enjoy. Really looking forward to where the interactions with Chantelle, Tiffanie and Stacy end up.

lots of typos, if you changed the players name it often times reverts back to peter, trap content is avoidable in name only since the game's script is written as if you did the trap content, the most boring and dull character, clara, makes up a large portion of the games content. and then there's the possibly surprise gay scene with mia/ash. i don't really know since there's nothing saying it's a girl, a guy, or a trans character. all i kow is the scene is unavoidable and came out of nowhere.

Honestly playing this game it has one massive upside. Good Art. I would only play this game with the gallery unlocked. Anything else is painful as the game has no gameplay loop.
You will get a note telling you a trigger, You then serch the map for it. Click on it, Get a new trigger. Rinse and repeat until a crumb of pussy is delivered.
All characters are one note and lack any sort of subtley or depth mostly serving as a trope for a given fetish.

Fetish content is a whole other issue (See current ongoing NTR debate) but that isn't the issue is the game constantly flip flops pure porn logic and softer seductions never settling on which one it wants to be. Meaning if you're playing for the softer stuff, you're grossed out. If you're a degenerate you're bored.

The game is clearly a victim of Patron bloat with lots of people with lots of wants pulling the game every direction at once leaving no one happy. Like I said at the start. Only worth playing with a gallery mod.

Love the artwork and the the whole corruption thing on the girls. While the ntr isn't my best interest it's a good thing that it can be avoided and not be a hurdle on the main route of the game. Femboy is a win in my book too

It is the game with great visuals and interesting kinks that fit my fav. I really enjoy to watch the playthrough video on the sites.

However, as long as I started to play it, there are some problems that causes blue balls.
1. The time concept in game is useless.
2. Lack of the instructions to players.
3. Bugs.

Still looking forward to the future updates. The AIGC is okay to me.

The review is based on 0.95

The latest update is a few scenes that last maybe half an hour and uses terrible AI art. If the game was pushing out a lot of updates and was otherwise making progress AI art is forgivable in some situations but not in this one. The story has gotten worse, the new art doesn't match the old art and they're starting the plot split so there's even less content. This update took nearly a year to complete and it's not integrated with the rest of the game at all so the current game is a tiny sliver of content with a completely nonsensical NTR plot added onto it. The nosedive in quality is a sign to move on.

Story: 2/5

Main story currently almost non exsitent. Its seems the focus is more on individual character stories which play out almost everytime the same. The male character, or more specific the alter ego that leads the progression called 'RED', is an absolute dick and more or less transforms every woman into a submissive slut. Meaning assholes are the kings in taffy tales, they get the rewards at the end.


Writing:4/5
The writing itself is good. No broken english and the h-scenes are described 'extensivly'.

Art:3/5
While most of the time the art is good and unique. The main problem is consistency, the woman seem to look different in a lot of scenes. Sometimes older characters suddenly seem junger (or vice versa), the facial shapes and skin colors vary. It could be that multiple artists work on the project(?).

OST:2/5
Often the same soundtrack, little variation.

Conclusion:2.5/5
One dimensional theme/story (assholes win) with one dimensional characters. Art that varies in quality and consistency.

Note:
Although it is pointed out in the overview that NTR is completely optional, it seems that more focus is placed on this fetish from update to update.

With the last update (v0-95-7), a completely independent NTR route was added that accounts for more than 30% of the scenes. In my opinion a very questionable decision, given that this fetish can really only be enjoyed by a minority, while being unplayable and funded by the rest. But that's a problem the current parteons have to deal with. (Who aren't exactly happy with the new content distribution from what i've heard. )

[v0.95.7]
Been following the game for a couple years now and honestly, it was real nice in the beginning. But it got worse overtime until this moment where i don't even know why am playin anymore.

To put it in a few word, promising story is goin in circle for quite some years now, so are the situation (girl don't like you, make girl to like you, create again and again the same dom/sub relationship), art have degradated to the point where dev rather use AI to make it than to do it himself.

I have the feeling that as i don't know why am playin this, the author don't know what to do with the game either.

Honestly, i hoped the NTR route would freshen up the game, but it's not even as good as the main story line.

Perhaps it is time for the author to wrap it up and put an end to this instead of adding tons of girls and detour that he himself don't really have any appeal for.

NTR content was promised from the beginning - so complaining on that end is just pointless. However, what does hold true from all of those reviews is that the last update is 100 times worst than previous ones.

One there is a lack of depth to each path NTR or non-NTR - it's just a blueball fest.

And two, which is more egregious, is that the AI art is actually trash, literal trash. I can't believe all of Uber's patreons are okay with that, because it is seriously such a downstep from the actual art.

The game is good but lags in some scenes, and needs more mouse activity. many characters to develop so hopefully you need more time to finish this game. should donate to the publisher and best wish for you

Pointless grindfest. Game isn't even worth pirating honestly.
This is the reason why everyone complains about sandbox. You waste hours doing absolutely nothing. To make matters worse there is annoying delay every action you make because your character has to make some stupid pointless comment.
I played this terrible game for a couple hours and I don't think I saw a single sex scene.

The game up to its most recent update was one of the best on the website bar none. Chapters 1-4 are S-tier, and the art is impeccable. Unfortunately the developer has deemed it a necessity that AI should create the renders from here on out, and it has taken a notable dip in quality. The faces are really uncanny, and the background art is distracting and robotic. I get it, the dev really thinks this is the best way forward for production time and saves money as well, but i can no longer call this game "one of the best."

I really hope that one day the game could be updated with new human created pictures, but that is a pipe dream.

[This rating is only based on the last update]
The first part of the game is still pretty good, the quality did get lower over time, but it was a solid 8/10. During the later updates Uber started using AI which did hurt the quality of the scenes and art, but the dude is talented and he can create quality content if he so wished. The writing also felt decent (kinda cringe at points and nonsensical, but the game itself didn't take itself too seriously) and the pacing is nice in terms of going from a sex/erotic scene to the next one.

The latest update is the start of the 2nd part. That update took a total of 8~10 months to make. I will just say that the quantity of that update was pretty respectable - all the stories and quests added will take around 1-2 hours to complete (even with skip)..
The issue is that majority of the 1-2 hours is fluff, just go here and there, do this, get a small reward, rince and repeat. And it doesn't help that there's pretty much no penetrative action (except for 1 with Mary and 1 with Violetta [aunt] that both look horrible due to ai cg) and yes, the AI CG seems like it was just the output with no adjustments, which looks horrible and the poses and scenes no longer look as good as when the art was personally made. That makes it seem like the dev used the 8-10 months to just write quests while he left all the art to AI (which is lazy). Things just look off and the last update was the first update where I couldn't really get into any of the scenes. Even if the AI mimics the original art, the mimicry just feels completely artificial. At least when the AI CG was used in the past, it seemed like Uber at least adjusted the images afterwards, but this update didn't seem to have any "brushed up" AI CG images - I have gotten off to some low quality art in the past, and this is the first time I couldn't find anything good in the scenes.
The writing was also lackluster and I frequently felt like using the skip button as most of the scenes had no pay-offs and the pacing of the sex scenes was crazy slow compared to the more frequent sex scenes in "part 1". Hence 1/5.

to be honest this game went from being my favorite game to the worst game i have ever played, it seems as if the developer just gave up suddenly on the game, as of now the art is AI generated and no longer is special, the story turned south real quick, the pacing is really slow, 10 months of waiting for this update and we received so little content for waiting, which means the patreons are basically being milked... i will be quiting this game it is a waste of time

Great Visuals but no rewards at all IMO. Regarding the long waiting times for new updates this is not really satisfying, I only tried the NTR route because thats what i was most excited for. I liked the teasers so far (bottle stuff) but thats only that, teasers. I hope future updates don't take too long

This game is really good in the early game explain when you need to go, when you have to explore and to find the items for progress is not dificult so i really like this game 10/10 the art, this game just needs to be more animated.

It can be clearly seen that the developer has great vision for what kind of a game he wants to create and has a feel for what people what to see and experience.
