    Just adding to the pile. Easy top 5 game on this site, and it isn't 5.

    I've never watched Loud House but it's obvious the dev is a fan and has put a huge amount of detail in the game. The writing is good, with every character having a distinct voice and scenes never dragging.

    The dev also did a great job of making the girls recognizable and true to the original artstyle, while also updating their designs to be much more attractive, something I feel some other parodies have failed at.

    I only have two minor complaints: first, I wish the dad had been written out of the story somehow so it wouldn't feel as weird to be with the mom + Lincoln could lean more into being "the man of the house".

    Secondly, Lincoln's character design is off imo. I think it's the only bad one in the game and it's arguably the least important one, so it's not a huge deal, but he does look strange to me.

    I wanted to give this game a try since its 4.7 rated and pretty popular.

    Honestly i always find scoring games on this site somewhat dumb cause virtual novels like this farm super high scores while offering very little, they are simply for people that hate any form of gameplay or interaction and want to read a comic. I still read most of dialogues and somewhat enjoyed it, but:

    - art style is what on screens, its ok but im not impressed, definitely not my style, sex scenes are pseudo-animated and rather poor

    - game is very loli, not a fan of it but im not judging if someone likes barely teens with no tits, although you could just fap to a wood plank

    - game has free roam tag and on screens it looks like you can move around house and places, no you can not. There is just scripted pseudo choice with who to talk to but you have to do most of it if not all anyway, so thats a lie. Game is just a VN where you read text till game ends. There are few choices but they are made in a way "do you want to see H scene - yes - no" so its obvious what player will pick and poorly made mechanic.

    - writing is best part and thats pretty much only reason im giving it 3 stars instead of lower

    I almost never comment on porn sites, since I want to leave the smallest trail possible... so the fact that I'm bothering to make this review, and even to support the developer, despite not originally being a fan of the show, should tell you that this is some seriously good shit.
    Like all the other reviews say, even if you aren't familiar with The Loud House, the writing here pulls you in and has some serious meat to it. In particular, the parts at the end of each chapter from the girls' perspectives do an amazing job of showing you why they fall for the protagonist so strongly... and then the sex scenes afterwards show them embracing those feelings for each other VERY enthusiastically, in a way that is quite satisfying to behold.
    Great art, amazing writing, even in its partial state I'd personally give this a 10/10. I'm eagerly awaiting the rest of the game!

    Animation: Stellar artwork, lmited animated scenes but they're used appropriately. Love teh art style and the work that goes into it
    Story: nothing crazy but well executed nontheless. It doesn't rush nor does it make you wait too much.
    Scripting: Everything is good here, helps to have a source to help your characters have personaility. But overall good choices in dialogue to set the tone.

    Overall great game and I hope see more!

    Version: v0.2.11

    This game is incredible. A great premise with an even greater execution. I have never seen the show, but it was still able to wow me.

    The art is great. It matches what I've seen of the show's style while also making it appropriately sexy. Each character's design shines in different ways both in terms of expressing their individual personalities, and in their attractiveness. Something that is very hard to do, so I applaud the artist. There are some minor inconsistencies with body proportions and scaling that can be distracting. But you can tell the art improves with each new content update. There are few animations, but the ones present are very smooth and work very well for the scenes they are in.

    The game functions more as a Visual Novel than anything which is fine as a vessel for displaying the art. Chapter 1 is completely on rails, and while Chapter 2 opens up presenting more exploratory "Sandbox" segments, your actions during it aren't impactful. The points system for the girls do not mean anything, neither does the main character's level or money. Bravery only allows you to access certain dialogue options with the main love interest. All the major story events occur regardless of what you do or what your stats are. The sandbox segments is just a way to choose what order you want to watch the optional scenes in. It's a little bland, but is serviceable for the game this is. It seems like these segments will be expanded upon in Chapter 4 which I am looking forward to.

    The writing in this game is shockingly good. It's very emotional and engaging, which is very surprising for a porn parody of a Nickelodeon cartoon. Even if you don't know anything about the show, you instantly feel like you know these characters. You can easily empathize with their struggles making the H-scenes incredibly cathartic. It even tackles the moral ambiguity of what you are doing with your sisters, something rarely seen in H-games.

    I did have a few issues with the audio bugging out occasionally. Sometimes sound effects like the shower wouldn't go away, or background music just completely disappearing near the end of Chapter 2.

    Currently there is only really 2 chapters, with a small preview of the 3rd. But what is here is very high quality. I am really looking forward to the future updates. I wish the best for the dev team.

    I am genuinely surprised at the level of care and genuine fan-love this is made with. And I've never even seen the show. I'm sure the other reviews say this too. It's a step above porn parodies. Pretty entertaining, paced well, and written well. With so many characters, the different tones and voices are distinct for every one. I'll be giving money for what's already made here in chapter 2. Those lucy scenes were really good.

    If a parody game can hook you without really being a fan of the original material, it is because it is really good and this case is superb. Where to start? Well, the game really has exceptional writing, nothing too wordy or too much overexposure, which gives it many points in my favor. The characters are all lovable and are written in a very good way, so much so that I doubt that the writing of the original show comes close to this one. . The art is very good and original, in short, everything is excellent.

    But I want to go back to the writing and which I think is very good... obviously each character is lewd since it is a porn game but what I love here is that the interactions between the siblings really feel like they were a family (a crazy family but a family anyway lol) and that is the most important thing in games of these genres, in most incest games it feels like the characters are not family and are strangers living in the same house and that really sucks. so congratulations to the devs for this great game and looking forward to seeing more of this game.

    Reading a parody of something you've never watched is an uphill battle
    Reading a parody of something that not "for you" is also an uphill battle
    Reading a parody of something that you only know about from weird headlines (fandom stuff) is going to make for an even more uphill battle

    This is still somehow the best "direct" parody on the site and I would be surprised to hear if there are better examples in any field beyond purely written (basically limitless possibilities) ones. I enjoy the writing (the families dynamic/interactions, the overall "feel" even with the lewdness removed) so much that I could not finish the first episode of the actual series, that might be due to being made to be syndicated or being "for kids" but still. I found the writing (even if all lewdness was removed) to be above the source material (at the start at least), Before this even the "best" parodies on the site would only make me want to watch the superior source material.

    All of the above is just focused on the game as a parody but even with that removed its still a very wholesome and (despite being "early") also a very very lewd game, and is one of the less common incest games....ones with good/believable (in universe) writing.

    Getting hints for future arcs organically in earlier chapters? Check
    MC making mistakes without being braindead for the plot? Check
    Characters progressing believable (in universe) and in unique ways? Check
    The "harem" progressing during the story instead of "happening"? Check

    When my biggest issues/worries with a game is if outside forces (ie life) will permit the devs time to finish the game, or that I am irrationally worried the "harem" wont be treated as well as things progress as it already has or everything else has is treated. I cant rate this anything other the highest allowed.

    Never watched a single episode of the show but holyyy, what a charming little gem of a game! Caught me off guard by the quality of it all.

    The art is just beautiful, looks very faithful to the original and has a lot of personality to it, the cutesy style fits just right for the spicy moments too. Another standout feature is the design, menus and UI, and the way the scenes unfolds comic panels style.

    I can't speak for the original show, but the characters here are just lovable, the story, dialogues and situations do a good job of highlighting them. The gameplay loop is simple but works their purpose, and the game has no sound.

    Congrats to the devs, I can fell all the care and work they/him/her put it in. Wishing for the best to you S2!

    Good visual, nice dialgues, good start for long stories. Great work, applodice for autor. I hope this project they won't abandon. I want to see a sequel or new part.

    The Lewdest House is a rising star among the vast sprawl of dime-a-dozen adult Renpy VNs, which separates itself from its peers through two creators that have a vast love of both the source material and the source material's own roots. While maintaining the art style that the artist has known for, through its development the game's art has steadily improved to a point where it not only has its own identity but does so with a ton of cuteness, and character. The writer, utilizing his experience from his prior works, translates the characters into this medium in both a believable and sexy manner, while maintaining the levity and intimacy of the source material.

    As far as the variety is concerned, the breadth of character body-types and personalities ensures that there is something for everyone to like about the game. It would not surprise me if someone greatly enjoyed The Lewdest House without even having consumed the source material, due to them finding at least one character that matches their fetishes or turn-ons. As the author has stated an intent to diversify the content even further over the course of the game's development, I'm sure this aspect of the game will only improve with time. Choosing to follow the episodic format of the original show also permits entertaining interludes and breaks up the changes of focus that could otherwise distract other works with multiple love interests.

    The impetus to write this review, which lends itself to my belief that there will be further development, is the resilience of the development team. After having mobs of teenagers and normies sent to destroy their work, they withstood up-and-above what would kill other projects to not only reaffirm their support of their work, but tell the haters to pound sand. As of today, I only have the greatest expectations of the heights this game will reach by the time (however long it may be) it reaches its conclusion. 5/5.

    If there’s any western cartoon parody porn game your willing to put your faith in, this is the one.

    I was slightly familiar with The Loud House and its NSFW community prior to my discovery of this game, although I’ve only sporadically watched episodes from the first 3 seasons. That is to say, this game has plenty of references and nods to episodes, jokes and plot points from the tv show. Although every character of course has to adapt to the “18+ fangame” setting, they manage to do so without feeling completely out of character. The game is charming enough to make me appreciate the show even more than I did before.

    Make no mistake though, those who’ve never even heard of The Loud House, this is pretty much the best writing you’ll ever find in games like this. The game is not just funny, but clever, sweet and oh so dramatic. Each chapter focuses on a different sister in the spotlight and will have you legitamately invested in how it will play out. This is a game that cares about its story and how its massive incest-riddled, ntr-free harem would actually get built.

    Everybody who’s played the game has praised the writing, but the presentation deserves equal levels of respect. The tv show was conceived as an homage to western comic strips and the visual novel beautifully keeps up that aesthetic. This is not another parody that simply slaps poorly edited PNGs into Ren’Py with no changes to the default UI aestethic. Character sprites are highly expressive and dynamic, making you feel their emotions and movements in spite of the engine’s limitations. There’s also character mini-icons, dialogue options, stat popups, text boxes, quick menu options, a dynamic title screen and more. All uniquely in the series-faithful artstyle. By one guy. Hell, the bio alone shows the effort put into this game by 2 people is more than many visual novels that had dozens on their development team. This COMPLETELY OPTIONAL unnecessary part of the game has each important character given unique art, a unique stylized name and a description written in the point of view of the main character.

    The best example of the art and presentation mastery are the “comic page CGs” where a scene will play out with panels flying into position and overlaying the normal background and sprites, one by one in time with dialogue, each in the position and order they would be read in until the whole screen looks like a torn out comic book page.


    The actual free roam gameplay follows genre staples while avoiding the pitfalls that come with them. The stat points all come from different dialogue choices and not the same text box for 20 minutes. The game is simply designed without the need to grind to get more content. Regardless of what you do in your free time or what points you have, time will move forward and you will get all the girls. Even the free roam is secretly designed to make it difficult to more than 1 or 2 side stories. The choice is there to let you prioritize the sisters you’re more fond of.

    But of course, this is porn at the end of the day. The art and writing work together to make sure the degenerate naughtiness does anything but disappoint. Each sister has their own way of flirting and doing lewd acts that is both in character and sets them apart from the baker’s dozen of other girls in the game. The art is quite good and the naughty acts themselves have a variety that keeps the pursuit of each girl from being predictable or repetitive.

    Overall, if you somehow couldn’t tell by the wall of text, I think this game is amazing. The few flaws (e.g lack of sound) stem from the games current ongoing status, though with an active developer I’m confident they’ll all be solved. This is what all western porn parody visual novels should strive be.

    Oh_no_it's_DIP!

    Freaking AMAZING! One of the best games I played. Hand drawn art, perfect, engaging writing, and good game mechanics. I have no complaints. The dev DMF gives consistent updates and takes on criticism, suggestions, and bug reports quickly, responsibly, and with out complaints. On of, if not, the BEST game dev and artist I have come across. So good i felt like giving a rare review.

    Story is pretty ok but nothing really special and cant say i got hooked on it, theres a few fun moments but thats about it.
    Main goal is for MC to get together with a girl at school which he has failed with for years, she then moves away and MC has to find a way to get to her, doing all that MC starts fucking the sisters and at one point proberly hes hole famiily except one.

    The story is also very kinetic and i would really consider this a kinetic novel and i guess they made it "sandbox" to avoid having to put that tag on, which is kinda weird since plenty of people like kinetic novels.

    So lets call it extremly linear, in the sandbox there arent any real option that matters, you cant turn down girls or change much doing the story, maybe if you dont have brave points but i bet it will only change a few dialogs but nothing story related, could be worng but i dont really care about it enough to test it all out.

    The only thing you do in sandbox is click a spot on a map of the house that takes you to the next step in the story with the one you choose, but it dosent mean a thing which order you click since the one you dont just show up the next day, so like i said earliere its all linear/kinetic.

    The art is why i give this 3 stars and now lower, its nice to see a diffrent type of art and it looks good.

    When it comes to the girls you really need to be into the extrem loli types, they are AA cups if that and looks and acts more like 8-12 year olds in every way, like one girl does tea parties and play a princess so you can deside what age you would put on that type of personalty.
    I do love smols and loli but within reason, this one was just a little over the top for my taste even if it is cartoonish/manga style, guessing thats also why this type of stuff is allowed on the site.

    As for being animated i would say thats a huge fail, theres only a single scene that is animated and everything else is picture to picture movements and some not even that, so game dosent really deserve having animated tag.

    Just like the LIs theres no choices for fetishes either, personaly im just not a anal fan and like games that gives you the choice but theres none in this one.

    Try it out if your ok with all of the above its not a bad game and art is good, but for me it just dident hit the mark.

    At least for me, the parody genre for H-Games has always had a bunch of misses with only a handful of hits. Games like Something Unlimited or FET are what gave me hope that parody games could be great. The one thing most of them tend to lack is passion and creativity while still having that respect for the original material. This game definitely has it.

    The writing is pretty solid
    The characters (While true to the original material) are well written and fleshed out to fit this type of narrative
    The scenes are ....... arguably the strongest part of the game considering the buildup and the payoff. What's even more impressive is the way it does this while still maintaining a cartoon style animation

    Overall, a damn good game

    This game is utterly brilliant in too many ways to list, holy shit!
    Each and every step of it features an unrelenting amount of soul behind - balancing the canon of the original cartoon with excellent lewd content throughout.

    This also shines brightest in the artstyle, which doesn't trap itself on being identical to the OG (which, let's face it, is awful for porn!), but still maintains its charm with designs that stick the landing. Probably the best Loud House parody out there (unless that Odyssean fanfic we all know about is actually worth something... i'm not gonna be the one to find that out...)

    Simply legendary.

    The game is fun, simple and well done. I wish we could have more content but is worthy it. Try it out for yourself.

    Scenes are good, looking forward to more and to get to know more about the other characters

    Just finished it so far, and I love it!! The story's great, the art is awesome, and already looking forward to the next update!! The quality of this is just great! I'm hoping to see more interaction with the rest of the sisters, but can't get over how good the story is while focusing on one at a time!

    The game is firing on all cylinders and raised the bar of what a visual novel should be. An incredible art style that is elevated by the rock solid writing. Truly in just 2 chapters, the dev has captured a vision and I can't wait to see what's next.
