Review of [Ep.5 Side Story]

Blowjob, blowjob, and blowjob... I find the game quite annoying and very frustrating. I get the impression that the developer is simply milking the game...

There are some sex scenes, but with secondary characters...
The game is well-made with high-quality renderings, good animations, a good UI, and good sound for the animations, but for so much unnecessary blowjob, it only gets 3 stars in my case.

The computer AI story adds something "interesting" to the game, although I find it boring.

PROS

• Excellent Renders with High Quality
• Decent Animations with audio
• Your Landlady and Aunt are very HOT
• NTR Contet if you like
• Nice UI

CONS

• Just Blowjob scenes with the Main Carachters
• Too Short
• Story are very Average

RATING :

Content: ⭐⭐⭐
Sound: ⭐⭐⭐
Renders: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Characters: ⭐⭐⭐
Animations: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Final conclusion: ⭐⭐⭐

This game stands out thanks to the high quality of its scenes and the appealing design of its female characters. Without a doubt, it's a must-play for 3DCG fans. The presentation is also very well done, and the side stories add meaningful depth to the overall experience

Honestly, I don’t understand what the creator is doing. With such impressive rendering technology and models, they can’t even come up with a simple story—not even borrowing from existing ones. Since November 2023, the content has been utterly lackluster and deeply disappointing.

*Insert you were the chosen one meme*

This project is such a letdown for me because the potential was there from the very beginning as well as my support. This just feels like it's going nowhere and fast. The focus seems to be on everything else other than the story, and because of it, everything not being the renders suffers for it. "My Bimbo Dream" and the "Side stories" seemed to have taken priority over The Synthetic, and it's rather disappointing because the Dev is clearly spreading himself thin.

Because of which, it's been almost 2 years and it still feels like we're at the very beginning of this story. Because of this I'm stuck with god tier like renders and nothing much more. Now, I'll never criticize a Dev for trying to make ends meet, but it's unfortunate how often times it's the project's quality that's a sacrificial lamb, so to speak. And when the Dev does focus on the story, the pacing feels rushed or just plain flat.

Ep.5

The main story has all the pieces to be a great. Shy inexperienced MC who accidentally has created AGI and troubled alcoholic mother who is over caring. And other characters who also have interesting background and personality that can take the MC to... possibilities are endless. AGI has been pretty much side character, but i have hope that it will take this story away from your regular home incest drama -plot.
Biggest problem is that author has been having problems choosing how to use the conversation options. +1 love / +1 lust options were already kind of boring, but then came the "choose lust or love path" option. I fear that it will turn this great promising project to kinetic novel experience.
I don´t understand why so many authors love to lock players in specific route so soon. Forcing specific ending is understandable, but why 5 min after playing you get grayed option of "You´re not on this path".

Writing is really good, as it makes characters unpredictable. Every character has their own positive and negative characteristics. These make all the characters more realistic, but also gives lots of options for the story. Characters can surprise multiple ways and it does not feel unnatural or out of the character.

Visually game does not aim for hyper-realism, but takes good amount of artistic liberty. I personally LOVE this art style. Also if you don´t like somewhat unnatural women with big ass and big tits, this might not be for you. Camera angles, details, realistic soft physics, and so on, all make the reading experience really fun.

(Read this "review" in Pooootin accent)

I not understand ntr but it gives me moooney.
Everybody has tiny schlong but you have a huuuge.

And then....
He found the sliders....
So women look like the most unrealistic things ever.
Imagine shooting a duck with a cannon. And the mess it would leave behind.
That's how the women look like. + a shi't ton of plastic and silicone.
And everyone with 3 holes have the same body type.

Don't support cr'p like this.

This is the third time I have replayed the game since the earliest version. It really did not disappoint me. It is getting better and better. At present, it has been changed to allow you to choose routes and relationship names, which is great.

For friends who like MILF, the appearance here is original and more realistic. The details of the skin wrinkles are refreshing, instead of the same old smooth skin. I like this very much.

Finally, what surprised me the most was that the developer is still a college student and seems to have completed it independently in his spare time. There is nothing to ask for at this point. Can you give more support? I am looking forward to more content! If necessary, subscribing to paid support is not a problem!

Story seems interesting ai mc made helps him improve relationship with his mother.

I see people complain about the split for routes at beginning but I like that I can just choose to not have ntr at beginning and be done with it.

Best models I've seen so far looking forward to more content.

It looked promising but horrible horrible story implementation, as said in the previous review totally separating the story is one of the worst possible ways you can go about this .

There is no player agency to how the story unfolds anymore. This now masquerades as a choice driven vn. If you are on the NTR route you can't seduce her and if you are on the seduce route you can't ntr her.

There are basically 3 choices in the game now rest is just fluff, either you go ntr or seduce route and on the seduce route whether you go loving or rough.
After that you're just along for the ride, which is just plain boring and uninspired.

A much better way is to just make the ntr optional where you just don't get the choices presented if you go for the seduce route.

Although I like(d) the game a lot, I have to give it a bad rating because of the completely stupid decision the dev made to seperate the paths completely. We could have a nice corruption game but instead we're given a kinetic novel, when it comes to the main LI. So so stupid...

This game is good as a realistic style MILF corruption.

Except, some of the girls are already corrupted and not by you. Worst then corrupt you ...

The realistic style is not my thing but in the same time those big melons are not realistic.. That's a mix bag for me.

The Ai story is shallow not really interesting and i see where all is going.

Finally i got problems with alcoholic dreams that you don't remember but most incest game are like that. They always break the immersion for something they can't explain in real life. Just because we need this to happen. On this topic the Aunt is the worst.

Then you have routes so deep impact on the story, graphics are really nice even if knees and feets are not my thing but clearly a thing for the dev. Dialogue is okay, story mediocre.

Overall a game for people who like more graphic and situations than story. Good basic game is 4 stars.

Some of the hottest characters on the site and the quality of the renders is also top-notch. Writing is also good and serviceable and the plot is the standard porn plot. Theres an ntr path and a vanilla path. The vanila path seems set up to take the mc from 'zero to hero' and the ntr path is pretty generic but if you dont like ntr you can (as of ep 5) just pick your path at the start.

Can't wait to see where it goes from here!

I love this game. The models are absolutely great, the colors, the texture, everything is perfect. Give it a try. Definitely my favourite so far on the whole site.

Pros:

models are great
colors are great
story is really nice
power fantasy the way I like it

One of the best art I have seen on vn, period.

The story beginning is typical but the choices make it different and somehow the devs have made even the usual story sound different with dialogue and narrative, so far I like this game a lot

Pros:
ART
Characters
Story

Cons:
Long update cycle
Looks like there are some character branches which may divert the story?

Preference:
Momntr (but so far doesn't looks like the mom will lose mind and leave the son, which is GREAT, I love it when the character gets BACK the girl/mom)

I have played at least hundreds of games, and Milf has always been my favorite. The milf here is more realistic in terms of body and skin features, with many wrinkles and lines, which is different from the common smooth skin and cookie-cutter modules. The overall quality and plot development make me excited. I look forward to the update. Thank you again for the careful production of content.

How this game is so high rated? It is short and cringe. Even the models everyone are praising in the 5* ratings look average and sometimes too strange to look like a real human
Fetishes like footjob and titjob and groping are 90% of the scenes instead of the real sex
Every woman has the same body so you can only enjoy them if you are into milfs
Sidestories for some reaseon have more erotic content that the 4 episodes of the game itself

Average Game 3 stars.

The renders and characters are gorgeous, but the over-the-top lighting effects, over-the-top posing, and over-the-top clothing make it too unnatural.

As for the writing, after the first episode I thought it would be interesting, but it's not, there are almost no real interactions between the characters outside of scenes, and no development, the AI itself is very obscure despite being here for 4 episodes, the story is 1/5 don't play it if you like deep story telling.

Review as of Ep 4

Visuals
Fantastic aesthetic in this game. Top tier renders. Lighting is good, poses are excellent. Characters' bodies have great textures and clarity. Very refreshing to see.

Ariana is sexy, but to a degree I feel like the aging applied to her is a bit much; if her son is freshly 18, we can reasonably assume she's as young as 36-38. She appears in her 40s-50s to my eye.

Sarah is also hot, as is Monica. All 3 women have a mature hourglass body but it’s a truly perfect one; many renders capture a heart shape figure from the waist down. I’m glad every woman has large breasts and a big ass.


Story/Dialog
The story is atrocious. It could have been intriguing if it were a convincing narrative, but it's not. Don't play this one expecting a compelling narrative or setting.


Dev seems to have somehow forgotten that in the very first scene with Ariana and a prospective buyer that he both claims to have never been married, then moments later that she
Pacing/timing issues that quite frankly are just lazy and overlooked. Example:
Some of the vernacular of character speech comes across as having been translated and then refined. I don't know if that's the case, but any countries with English as their primary language don't say things like "Do you want to watch the new installment of [xyz]?" It is just weird.

Why does MC's inner monologue contradict itself so openly? Example:
There are many more examples I could cite here that just make you go “huh?” But, you get the picture.

The dialog/narrative itself is OK. English contains good grammar and punctuation throughout, with some minor errors.



Other
UI is excellent. Textbox is unobtrusive, clear distinction in spoken vs thought dialog. I'd like to be able to hide the quick menu, but that's being pedantic.

The music is fantastic. Excellent choices that evoke subconscious/emotional/visceral responses. Very well done.

It’s confusing that some choices are unavailable but not hidden. It should be clear as to whether that is due to the point system, or that the resulting scene just isn’t completed yet.

I’m not a fan of the forced NTR (and yes, it is forced if you don't provide an option to either disrupt it or skip it).

Final Thoughts
This is a visually pleasing VN with an enticing story concept, but it is unfortunately ruined by bad pacing, lack of backstory, lack of development of the characters, unrealistic narratives, and contradictions. Dev should have a dedicated writer they can bounce ideas off of for both story content as well as character interaction. It’s obvious their strength lies in the ability to render a good scene, but that seems to be where their talent ends. I’m going to keep up with this one solely for the lewd quality, but the bar is on the ground for storytelling.
