Ren'Py - Completed - The Wish [v1.0.1] [Midnite Guerilla]

Review for v1.0.1

DNF after 2+ hours.

This game should have been a home run for me. A young man staying with a MILF. Their chemistry leads to a sexual relationship. It turns out they're actually mother and son. Their attraction defies moral boundaries and they continue their passionate illicit affairs. Doesn't that sound sexy?

The writing is bad. Why are so many adult game developers intent on writing "comedy" when they have awful, boring, dumb senses of humor? Not everyone is funny. That's okay. Not everything needs to be humorous to be enjoyable or "light".

The narration is awful. The MC's personality is annoying. The characterization for everyone is flat, staid, trite and boring.

Sound design is inconsistent.

Animations are nonexistent or bad.

Renders are boring.

Gameplay loop is boring.

There is nothing appealing about the game.

Don't Play It.

A short summary (mild spoilers):

The positives:
+Main MILF renders;
+Linear progression;
+Mini games (to progress the narrative) to diversify gameplay.

The negatives:
-Narrative feels like someone's wet dream. Lacks conviction.
-Poor character development. Everyone feels like a stale robot.
-Lack of SFX, both in sexual content and non-sexual;
-Poor/no animations;
-The forced use of walkthrough, because game gives no warnings/hints about right or wrong decisions.

The VERDICT SCORE: 1.5/5. Just another generic shovelware that had some potential to turn into something decent, before the developer butchered it into fine grain of betrayal. OK... for a quick fap, IF every other option has been experienced.

I like these genres, but I have mixed feelings about the game.

- It has a nice plot, with good writing and some humor (I always enjoy games with this approach). The plot for some side characters scenes is pretty corny and bothered me a bit. The story is relative short.

- The girls models are not the best (maybe for my taste), but are more than decent. It's also fair to say the characters are quite diverse in appearance and have more of a "realistic body" approach compared to most porn games. This can be a plus for some people.

- The renders are quite good (maybe some scenes could use of better lightning effects). But the animations are very basic, most scenes with just stop-motion-like animations. The quantity and quality of the sex scenes is slightly below average compared to similar games of these genres.

- The choice of the author for the ending (the real ending) was... "unconventional", but also explains some of the weird events and corny stuff that happens in the story, I guess.

One of the issues I had with the story is a Spoiler. Read only after you finish the game, if you want to understand my score/rating for the game:

This is pure perfection: the game maintains all its promises. I'm not a gamer, don't know anything about game programming\developing so I will not talk about technicalities; of course it has some flaws, mainly due to its age and the obvious lack of, you know, ca$h, but I shall say "that's the spirit"! Good plot, good main character but first of all we can find a very lovely designed milf, with a perfectly sane mind in a good-looking slightly aged body, she still seems so real to me (and the audio is also a good choice, it helps immersion a lot). It is a rare pleasure to follow characters' thoughts, imaging their feelings with actual care and participation. It's been some years since I played it and I never found anything as immersive and enjoyable to compare. There is sheer human experience in it!

If you're into incest, this is highly recommended!

Such an incredible game, i can't believe i didn't found this at first when i was looking for incest mom and son. Wish the dev makes more mother and son games, really enjoyable, overall mechanics and gameplay is enjoyable. I even learned so many things. The only problem is the animation, can definitely be improved. Also a unique looks for mom is also what made the game interesting too. Looking forward for incest games like this. Deserves a support.

Edit: I clicked the end game and i was quite dissapointed but, you can make the ending yourselves by just not clicking it, and let them have their happy ending, though i look forward for more games of this dev, but it seems no news so far. Great work dev.

I really enjoyed this game from the beginning. The story contains funny dialogues. It's concise, clear, and to the point, not boring (except when learning in class). However, the conflicts are too few and too simple.

The character design is good. The size of the tits is proportionate, not too big, and pleasing to look at. But I find the fairy's dick quite disgusting.

The sex scenes are not bad, they have animations. However, they are quite short and the dialogues are not very heated.

I imagined this game would have a long story, with many sex scenes involving various women in different places. But it didn't meet my expectations. It was very interesting at the beginning, but unfortunately, the ending felt forced. I was very surprised by that. There are still many things that could have been developed. In fact, there are some locations that were not used at all.

I first played this 3-1/2 to 4 years ago, really enjoyed it. It's one of a handful of games that sits neatly in the back of my mind and I wax nostalgic about the story. So when I found it on a list here on the forum, I decided to load it up from my archives and give it a playthrough. It's short, relatively speaking, compared to some of the other adult games out there. You can breeze through the story in a few hours if you're dedicated, which I did today.

I don't love the sandbox elements of it. Honestly, I don't love the sandbox elements of any adult game. I understand there are some games that benefit from the UX that comes with sandbox elements, but a game like with its singular story and one path to the best ending--the ending the developer wants you to see--isn't one of them. Fortunately this game was short enough that I wasn't put off by that design.

The graphics are pretty good. I love all of the character designs, I especially love Joanna. Not enough 40 year olds in games like this look like they're in their 40s, and she looks absolutely gorgeous in the role. In fact, I'd dare to say she looks better as a 40 year old than she did in the various glamour shots presented in the game.

Animations could be better. Most of them are quite choppy, and there's quite a bit of clipping. Pretty much any post-story, the MC's fingers will clip in and out of Joanna's waist and Joanna's hands (yes, damn near everything up her wrists!) will clip into the MC's chest. It's weird to watch her wedding ring fall into and rise out of the MC's right pectoral... or watching Joanna's breasts clipping damn near to her elbow with up-and-down motion.

No music, but plenty of sound effects. I don't recall having to adjust the SFX volume, but I'll assume I didn't here: Both the SFX and music volumes are set to 50%, but I wouldn't have had to touch the music volume without music in the game. I'll give the developer credit for this one.

Could this have been a little better as a longer, slow burn? Have the deus ex machina--fairy ex cockina? what a silly story driver--give the player a month instead of a week? Maybe. Hard to say, because that's not what we got here and I like the story as is. I will say that had that happened--had it been longer and more fleshed out (the story, not the cock; stupid fairy)--it probably would have needed a more linear game design devoid of sandbox elements or risk hurting its ratings. It wouldn't be the first time I've done reviews on two very similar games with the same minor flaw, but because one game was longer I gave it a lower rating as a result.

So yeah. Five stars for the short, nostalgic story with the minor flaws, both in the game and in our characters... but those I guess some of those flaws are what make it special.

The three stars is not a sign of a bad game, it just feels like theres a lot of wated opportunities. Maybe the dev was inexperienced or their vision didn't match with my expectations since the description made me think of a more deep story, it doesn't need to be but sometimes the narrative feels a bit simple. The renders are sexy and the sex scenes are good but theres not a lot of them. The free roaming parts are ok but theres a part where the objective is a big nuisance. The participation of other girls in the story at times feels as a tag on or added bonus, I wouldn't mind if the story was just about the main milf if the story and interactions were more developed. And still, if you click with this one, it's gonna be a fun but short time.

This game wasn't worth me saving it for so long to review later. It had such rave reviews and I followed its development around 2018 till 2019. Shame.

I will still rate it based off it's 'time' and the technology standard of that time.

Pros:
-Okay character renders (at least proportion wise)
-The story is kinda funny/silly, if but a big excuse for the premise of the game genre.
-MC is (can) be a pretty decent guy, unlike a lot of MCs of this genre.

Cons:
-"Animations" are pretty lackluster, the poses chosen are bad. Several still renders would have done better.
-The clicking to find things, understandable for some stuff, but some items are pretty well hidden and if you have to look across 10+ rendered scenes.
-I know I said earlier the story was a pro, but it's also a con. There is a lot introduced that seems like it may become a feature, but then is never elaborated on in the epilogue.
-Games end was massively rushed and it shows, which is the WORST part because it's supposed to be the finale/climax of the games very premise and experience.
-The game practically teases/edges you that your gonna get ur 'landlady' preggo OR maybe start a harem or open marriage with her. Then it just disappoints with a massive floppy ending.
-WHY DOES THE BASEMENT EXIST DON'T GO THERE EVER. There is NEVER anything of use.
-The two MALL SCENES added into the final update are MASSIVE TRAPS (1 is obvious for all but degenerates), but the 'other' will give u an STD that wont be revealed until 1-day before the game end. Making you have to restart the whole play through if you don't have saves from b4 u F***ed the horny red headed MILF. (I can't help but feel this dev was punishing US. )

Final Score: 1.5 / 5 stars.

For all the sandbox, and effort.

The reward was underwhelming.
Sex? yup.
Creampie? yes but no.
pregnancy? She's a MILF for crying out loud!!! No again.

so. . . . basically a game to let the mc fuck his mom . . . . .and that right there was all the spice to it?
Pretty much. There's been enough of this here that you expect more. WANT more.

Aish.
Such is life.
It's okay.
Play if you will. This is at least partially better than some of the games where I end my reviews saying "I do not recommend."

It's an incredible shame that the dev got burnt out towards the end of development and rushed the ending because this had potential to be truly great.

With that being said, even in it's rushed state, at least some form of ending/closure was given.

The milf character is incredible and looks sexy while still looking like an older woman.

The main negatives are that the content with the characters other than the main milf is very lackluster and could/should be cut, and the game is relatively short.

Even with those downsides the main milf is hot enough to make this game great.

Just finished it and I really enjoyed this one. By far the sexiest MILF character model I've seen in ages. Actually looks like she's had a child, and is properly designed for her age, and yet still looks incredible. And the sexy librarian look with the glasses... eungh...

The other characters were lovely too, in design and personality. Liked the old friends coming to visit. The new friends we made along the way. Even the super whore was ok. Wish we didn't have to bother with her for best ending, but what can you do. Things we do for love, eh.

Only bug I encountered was the compass became fixed in the corner upon returning home after the final day of college. No matter the order in which I visited the other locations on the way there.

Really enjoyable VN. Do recommend. Version 1.0.1.

Really nice game.
The story was very linear and it was interesting enough to keep attention, but not so complicated that playing it became a headache. The models also seemed original which was a nice touch, however, the resolution of the images was grainy and dated. Nonetheless, the milf had a very good model. The writing of the story felt a bit silly sometimes when considering "the voice in our head" but it added a nice. Also, I cannot believe that the dev put most of "naked gun" in the film lmao. Great game overall. 10/10.

The humor is 10000 out of 10!!! Love this kind of humor.

Pros:
big tits
incest story is kinda good
renders
animations which is not that common and really nice!
player is active + tasks are written for u

Cons:
if you love medium/small tits- there are none.
shorter than 95% of the games i played
futa/trans is kinda misleading- it is there as a fey but nothing else (unless i missed it? i was with the walkthrough though).
there is a girl you start dating, and then the game ends.

Thanks you dev for the game! hope you are well and will continue developing as you like!

A good realistic looking milf with glasses. This is sandbox type where I recommend a walkthorugh to guide you as you need to find various objects to complete quests. There are also game over scenarios so be careful. Interesting story development. But a good paced adventure with a nice looking MILF

I stumbled across this gem this weekend and finished the game in 2 days. I really enjoyed it. It is one of the few games, where the story is also very interesting. I also had a good laugh at the humor of the game. Only downside is, that the game is too short.

Story that filled with humor, 4th wall breaking and of course - sex. Gameplay can be ranged from good - dialogues, to poor - bits of pointless point-and-click.
It was good from beginning til end. But yeah, way to fuck up the story. If you want normal ending - in the last choice "Continue playing" click "Yes" and then close the game, delete it and cherish moments that you had in it.

Just played this again for the 3rd time, definitely one of my favorites!

Gameplay was fun, none of that grindy stuff, I genuinely enjoyed it. But, what I really enjoyed was the build-up between the MC and his "Landlady". She is so sexy, with a proper thiccness. I love it! The last scene/animation was fire!!

I recommend this game to anyone who likes milfs, it's a classic. And, truly one of the best on this site. Thank You, Dev for your hardwork.

I'm just reviewing this because I think this is the first time I've played the technically complete version - though I remember checking this one out probably only a few days after it was first posted here.

I remember absolutely loving this game when it came out... whether my tastes have changed or I've just been spoiled by the general increase in quality over the years I don't know.

Frankly, the years have no been kind to this one. It is very obviously nearly 4 years old now.

The milf Joanna is still quite good looking, and in general the models hold up the best as far as the entire visual aspect of the game goes. At times, however, the lighting is absolutely terrible to the point of barely being able to see the characters. This occurs during a good half of the scenes where you'd want really want to be able to see . Even when the lighting isn't atrocious, its bad. The banner image that greets you on the first page of this thread gives you a good idea at the average scene lighting in the renders. I wish I was exaggerating.

I'm only giving this a 2 star rating considering its age and being technically "complete". The ending is a very lazy timeskip. There is basically no content outside of the content with the mother - and even that is limited.

Pretty much needs a walktrough. Not worth bothering unless for nostalgia's sake. Time's have changed!

Awesome VN with a hot milf render and mechanic. And thank God SOME sound with the "sun" scenes. I can't stand when the VN have no sounds in the scenes. I didn't have to worry about who I would want to be with, I knew I had one goal so there was no confusion or mixed signals. Great game, I wish more were like this.
