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

I played the game upto the point where you start having copious amount of sex with the janitor, and then couldn't find it in me to start it up again
The draw of this game is of course, it's masterwork caricature-style character drawings. But it's like a tasteful artist drew the characters upto the shoulder, and everything below that was finished up by some cave-dwelling troglodyte who has never seen a human body outside of DeviantArt fetish content.
The average body type in this world looks like water balloons tied up by a few strings. In some sex scenes, the women look like those supersized pigs shown in American farms - just skin colored blobs with no discernible feature.
Some male characters are an eyesore too. the protagonist has a body about 1 foot too tall for his face. The middle-aged cuck dude looks as youthful as the protag. The rest of the male cast, however gives you a glimpse into how the game could have been if the artist drew the bodies to match the face.

Overall, many negatives overshadowing the beautifully drawn faces. The protag's just Bully Maguire, but lamer. The game feels poorly coded and full of jank. The first game where I actually want to avoid most sex scenes. If this is supposed to be the good part, I'm lucky I got grossed out enough to tap out.

Was amazing early in development, quickly became Summertime Sage 2.0 with slow/shallow releases. The atmosphere and writing of the game has also degraded over time. I feel the same disappointment with this game that I do for Summertime Saga and other amazing-games-turned-cashgrab.

Such a terrible game...
Time flows in such a weird way, you'll find yourself doing dozen of tasks and time still stands still, and some other time you'll do a task that spans through five paragprahs and makes the day go from morning to midnight.
Some objects appear out of nowhere then disappear.
Conversations are weirdly laid out.
Even the scenes aren't that much to behold.
Don't waste your time playing it...

As a loyal supporter and subscriber of Taffy Tales, it pains me to express the deep disappointment I felt upon experiencing Season 5 of the game. Taffy Tales, known for its engaging storytelling and immersive gameplay, took an unexpected turn that left me feeling utterly betrayed as a dedicated patron.

Season 5 of Taffy Tales transformed the game into something unrecognizable, and not in a positive way. The shift towards incorporating scatological elements felt not only unnecessary but also repulsive. As a player invested in the narrative and character development, I anticipated meaningful plotlines and enriching experiences. However, what I encountered was a descent into distasteful and off-putting content that tarnished the essence of the game.

The decision to introduce fecal matter into the storyline lacked creativity and seemed to cater to shock value rather than genuine storytelling. It felt as though the developers prioritized sensationalism over maintaining the integrity of the game's universe, disregarding the expectations and sensibilities of their dedicated audience.

Moreover, the abrupt departure from the established tone and themes of Taffy Tales shattered the immersive experience that initially captivated players. Instead of fostering a sense of connection and engagement, Season 5 alienated many subscribers, myself included, who had invested time and resources into supporting the game.

As a patron subscriber, I expected Taffy Tales to evolve and innovate while staying true to its core identity. Unfortunately, Season 5 failed to deliver on these expectations, leaving behind a bitter aftertaste of disillusionment and betrayal. While I remain hopeful that future updates may redeem the game, the damage inflicted by Season 5 cannot be easily overlooked or forgiven.

In conclusion, Taffy Tales Season 5's descent into vulgar and tasteless content has left a significant stain on the once-beloved gaming experience. As a patron subscriber, I feel deeply disappointed and betrayed by this misguided direction. It is my sincere hope that the developers reconsider their creative choices and return to crafting the compelling narratives that initially captured the hearts of players worldwide.

I get that most games have a certain buildup to the "action", but this takes it to a whole new level. It's usually the typical HJ, then BJ, and then sex. But not this. This has a half hour conversation about a plan that goes absolutely fucking nowhere. Goes to anything but "action" it takes dragging things out to a new level. I've been waiting for over a year for two characters to get to some serious scenes. But it just teases and moves on to some other BS. I'm done with this garbage. Maybe I'll check on it again 2027.

I played this game a long time ago. As usual in this genre, it has gotten almost no updates since then, so my review will not differ much with the latest updates:

It's a classic copycat cliche game of the high school kid who does it with everyone, nothing new in story or mechanics. However, it stands out above almost any other similar game thanks to:

+ The very varied character designs without being incongruous with its artistic style.
You can really notice the artistic talent in the designs, very well worked, it is a visual palcer in each character.

+ Great amount of content.
You can see that they have dedicated time to work the game in the section that matters most: scenes and characters. Really very complete in this point, it surpasses almost other games considered "finished", the fact that they continue updating it is a plus.

+ Many characters with different characteristics and personalities.
It is not a single base design for each woman, with a single personality. There is a variety of bodies and well defined personalities.

+Good variety of diverse fetishes. It's noticeable that they want to appeal to a wide audience, so you might find something you like. They also give you a heads up about what you might encounter so you can avoid it if it's not to your liking.

With these points, the game is more than recommendable. And yes it's infinitely better than Summertime Saga, in case you're wondering. So if you liked that one, you'll be fascinated by this.

Less positive aspects:

- The story, as I mentioned, is quite cliché with not much narrative creativity, but it does have a few twists that are moderately interesting.

- Some content is still incomplete, which breaks immersion.

- I feel like they could do more, and vary even more. There's untapped potential.

- And for me, the protagonist's evil personality sometimes felt too edgy, it's somewhat funny but also disturbing at certain points.

I would consider giving it 5 stars because there are truly much worse games that get 4 stars, and this one is far above all of those. However, the lack of content in certain parts detracts quite a bit.

not delivering on the promises made by the dev for the ntr content which was planned since the conception of this game. its been 3 years and still the content remained focused on the vanilla route. should have been a pure vanilla game and not give false signal for the ntr lovers

It's a pretty good game; I actually quite like it. Has a lot of cool BDSM stuff. However, I heard from a lot of ppl about the dev start using AI CG; I might change my review after finishing Season 5. Clara and Mary's quest lines are just fucking awesome!

Very good game but lack consistency.

Lot of taboo, lot of kink so thats good.

I,d say that the art is very good,.

The game itself is comparable to summertime saga.

The incest are way not enough, mom scene wasnt progressive enough we waited for years for something to happen so quite and the sister nothing much yet.

Good game overall.

i llike the use oif ai tools to help with animation, plus the main art isn't affected the ai is only used for background characters and to make it easier on th edevs to deliver quality

with the ai usage we can expect more updates plus more sexy scenes
I'm surprised people unironically want plot from a porn game where the main character got deus ex machina'd into a new personality

i dislike the flavour text though,
i want more "plot" scenes rather than text padding.

Amazing game! I hope to see in new version some mother/daughter content. It could be Sara/Becca, Gerda/Priscila or the best option Tiffany and Mary <3. Anyways I love the game, the main and the NTR rute. Just gorgeous

This is my most favourite game on this website. Domination, storyline, the cult, the slow progression, the submissive characters, I'm all for it. The AI art may have ruined things a bit, but I still like it.

This really is a downfall of a once promising lewd game if you played in the first few years of development you saw a pretty good story great art and fast updates people cared about now you have uninspired AI art a storyline that everyone just skips now and updates that take years which have little to no content.

The last update is awful, full of souless ai generated art, nothing good was added for about a year now. It's a shame because the situations and the artstyle were unique at first. I hope a new artist will be found for the project so that we could get nice designs again. I get the appeal of ai generation but it should be used for placeholders not actual content.
The game could be solid but it really need works, kudos for keeping it alive for 6 years tho !

I have been accompanying and loving this game since 2019 and always looked forward to what exciting sex scenes and circumstances like that could come? Mary (Peter's Mom) or Danny for other fetish things really hit me and since then I've been happy to play with every update. Unfortunately, update after update became too sluggish and patience increased and quality became quantity instead of more!

The story was always well told (especially the blackmail story was very entertaining) but I just see more rubbish coming out of it.

It seemed to me as if UberPie had taken a nice long vacation before and only worked on it in the game for 3 months!

That was exactly as much content as the last game but it only lasted 4 months. I'm ashamed that I supported him.
I feel like I've been cheated. 5$ x 8 months = 40$ for a cheap piece of shit?!
There are others who paid $20 (which I can't believe either) who paid a total of 8 times for $160.

The UberPie made a lot of money with 30% tax deductions, but still made a lot and probably thought where he was on the sunny beach: "Screw it, they get what they want, regardless of whether I put in AI art or just a little content. Ha hah ha that idiot!”

Actually, when using the "AI art" he has to charge less for the subscription (since when does Chantelle! have 3 entrances in her asshole?!)

The pandemic must have made his head stupid!
But the one idiot out of many that I fired yesterday! This game is dead for me!

Actually it only deserves 1 star, but that's why it still gets 3 stars because the previous update didn't extend it.

When the subscribers are lost, he will clearly see the statistics and regret what he has done, but unfortunately it will be too late and I just hope that he should work more on it again instead of trolling around in the news!

I'm seriously, seriously disappointed!

END

MC has a car accident and develops a split personality (red). It is his repressed inner chad, sick and tired of the MC being such a weak simpy cuck. Here to teach the MC how to be real man and acquire a harem of all the bitches.

MC has a 3rd leg because
There is also very light supernatural elements involved too. as red has some extrasensory perception. being able to Sense a new life the moment it is concieved. (explicitly presented as a plot point. and explicitly discussed after the sex scene was done)

A long time persistent issue is that you lose your savegame every single update.
The game comes with a locked "previous update finished" save file. But that requires that you:
1. subscribe to their patreon or pirate the code
2. never skip an update.
3. get 100% completion on each update.

the last point is the hardest as there is usually some bug or another preventing you from doing so.

For a very long time now I have just been using a gallery unlocker to see new scenes instead of actually playing. Even before the art quality dropped I was using this game exclusively as a gallery.

Season 1-4 v0.89.8b
very sexy overall.

Season 5 v1.07.3a
art quality took a huge nosedive. it is just not sexy anymore.

I really wish I could say this game is awesome. It's full of thicc characters and it leans a lot on the huge dick fetish, stomach deformation and all that. It is kinda hardcore too but not as hardcore as it feels it wants to make you believe. It wants to make you think "Red" has no morals and would do anything but in the end all he does is fine because they all wanted it.
The pacing is also bad imho. I understand "slow burn" but this felt more like "drunken glacial burn", it just takes FOREVER for stuff to start happening and that the sandbox part of the game is a broken mess doesn't help, hence the "drunken" part and the final glaring issue of the game.
The flow of the game is broken, and I mean all seasons but the older ones seems to be worse, and that makes hunting for the events even worse and slow. Stuff like it being evening already but I go to a specific place, get a rerun of an event I already watched during the day and after it ends the game is again at "Day" instead of evening or night. Among other similar things.
So yeah, it gets frustrating enough you just look for a clear save game for the gallery, unless you have a lot of time to waste and wander around instead of playing something else.
To be fair, once the sex starts it throws a lot at you and the writing is nice, though again it suffers due to the broken sandbox. Like the characters talking about something that happened "yesterday" but it's already been days, you just didn't get the events to show properly because of the time of the day been all over the place.
I really hope it eventually gets properly polished but as it is I really can't recommend anyone to actually "play" it.

I'm not a big fan of this game, because it has a few glaring issues that seriously hamper it being able to appeal to me. This wouldn't warrant a negative review if it weren't for the game seeming to be heading towards doing something, then immediately shrinking away from it before it does a good enough job to scratch that particular itch.
Blackmailing the school's cleaning lady into sex? Don't worry, it turns out she loves it. Want to abuse your teacher's addiction for your own sexual gain? Last I checked, that option just tells you the path hasn't been started on, despite it having been in the game for years. This all to say: why have the protagonist develop an evil split personality instead of just making him a normal horny teenage boy with above average game if there's nobody you can try to bone who needs more than a little push before they're into it?
The answer might just be that it's on Patreon, and most taboo themes are big no-nos if you want your game to stay on Patreon. I don't know, I don't care. The game repeatedly looks like it's heading towards letting you do bad things before backing down with its tail between its legs.
The final problem I remember well enough to actually say anything about is that every time I've installed a new version of the game, I've had to replay it from the very beginning. This is annoying as fuck in a psuedo-sandbox that has you constantly running everywhere trying to find the next event to progress any given character's storyline.

a very good game,i love the art,but playing the new optional route NTR,man,this is so boring,is so fucking sad see Darnell in control and Peter so lame,my conclusion is...TAFFY TALES is all about RED!
Whitout him the game is so lame and boring that i simple can t enjoy it(remenber im only speaking about NTR because the MAIN ROUTE reamains amazing).

I would like to give my opinion on this game since I have played many hours of it.

At first the art seemed strange to me, it was different from anything I had played before. The changes between the "sprites" and the images of the game scenes were different. For example, Mary's cutscenes are often different from the sprite shown throughout the game.

There are too many characters. In the end there are so many plots and they are mandatory to carry out that you end up getting bored and quickly passing through the conversations that you don't like. In my case I like Clara's plot and her son's Danny hers. I also like Priscila's or Professor Sara's.
But there are so many plots around that I notice that after more than 4 years of development, there is very little real content for the characters. If there were half as many characters, the game would be much more fluid.

But everything has gotten worse with the new updates. Especially with the new version. Now separate the game into two: main route and NTR route. The main route is super boring, it's basically Chantelle and Tiffany all the time. NTR route is the worst, the protagonist becomes useless. And by far (where I stopped playing) is Gerda's transformation. It's a shame what they've done to the character.

The developer said that thanks to the use of AI the game would progress much faster. But I only see that the quality has been reduced and that now abs and biceps appear on all the characters. The worst thing is that updates take longer than ever.

A game that gives you a handjob in 25 hours is not good, and now it's getting worse.

I give it two stars, because at the beginning it had its work. But now I would give it 0 if I could.
