Yeah, the fart jokes were too much. And I did go to your LI guides as my first place to check I was correct, and you're all good (I'd have flagged it for you otherwise).I'd forgotten the crayon-eating comment - that one did make me laugh. It was things like the farting stuff I just found juvenile. I had to go and check my LI guide that I had spelt Akari correctly after you pointed that out.

Memories by Deviloper
I think this game is still finding its feet a little bit, but after a few updates now, it’s starting to look like it’s nearly there. I quite like it and don’t really have anything bad to say about it so far, which is obviously a good thing. There are a few things I’d like to see, and a few uncertainties I’d like resolved, but since we’re not that far into the game yet, that’s probably understandable.
This is a sharing game, and depending on choices and where the dev takes it, it could also go fully into cheating and NTR. The key choices so far seem pretty straightforward if you know what you’re looking to get out of the game – how open to male attention you want the FMC to be overall, do you want her to accept the advances of a certain guy, etc. There are also choices for the MC, because the couple’s experimentation in sharing goes both ways – which is also something I like here.
One thing I’m still unsure of is how one-sided each playthrough will be. What felt was the main choice early in the game was effectively whether I wanted the MC to get closer to other women, or the FMC to get closer to other men, but as there was no option for both, I don’t know how things will play out. I have a save for each of those options at the moment though, and will see how they go. There are viewpoints from both characters on each of those saves, so I figure that should give players the best of both worlds, providing they are fine with multiple protagonist games, even though it’s currently listed as just “male protagonist”.
As far as the content for those choices goes, there isn’t too much so far, just some flirting and maybe kissing and light touching with people outside of the marriage, and I think the couple is doing a good job of talking it all through as well. Although there have been some complaints in the game thread, I think the dev has done a good job of teasing so far, with scene/update “cliffhangers” leaving the MC unsure how far the FMC is going with someone else (perhaps that could be reversed at some point, with a cliffhanger showing the FMC being the uncertain one?).
The visuals of the game are really nice. It looks great overall, but I also really like the characters, with even the men in the game generally looking pretty good – whereas in many games most of the men look frankly awful. So far, I like all the women who have been introduced (although the FMC’s mother is not to my personal tastes), and hope there will be content with all of them at some point.
Probably the only thing that I did find slightly below par with the game was the text, as it can be hard to read against a light background. This was easy enough to fix though, so it didn’t impact my enjoyment in the slightest.

My New Memories by Killer7
I played this one after My New Memories: The Beginning (My review) as I wanted to experience them chronologically, even though neither game is finished and so there would naturally be some back and forth in the future… I really enjoyed this one as well, for largely the same reasons as the first. It’s a story-heavy AVN, and it took me a good amount of time to get through what we have so far (up to 0.4.5, with the “.5” part essentially being a preview of the next chapter, which I avoided). Looking back, I was playing this for just under two weeks, with various other game updates interrupting it, so even playing just this, it’s not going to be a quick blast.
I did feel like there was a bit of a disconnect between the two games, and it’s my main negative, to be honest. Both games state that all characters will be lewdable eventually, but for that to be the case in The Beginning, some of the interactions with the same characters in MNM will feel out of sync to me. It’s easy enough for me to overlook that though, and even if both games feature “first times” with the same characters, it will be a bit annoying, but not the end of the world.
For this game specifically though, I really like the characters and character interactions. A key part of the game is the MC’s amnesia, and gradually getting memories back while trying to reintegrate with a family he doesn’t know anything about. I like how feelings are used to fill in some of those gaps though, so it’s not a case of starting quite from scratch with everyone. I liked the backstory that was gradually given to us, with one part being really horrible, but ultimately leading to a good ending, and I liked how that all played out.
One part that I particularly enjoyed, especially for the potential future content, is the frequent banter between the various girls in the house. There are a number of times where you hear them calling to each other from different rooms and they’re talking about bathing or showering together, or commenting on the look (or feel) of each other’s breasts and butts. It’s another one that just feels really wholesome, despite the taboo nature of some of the key elements of the game.
The lewds may not be the main draw here, with the dev notes advising that the game focuses on story over sex, but there is still a decent amount of nudity in the game, and a dozen scenes in the gallery with five different girls (notably not just the five who are topless in my LI cards!). The scenes are sometimes short, but also sometimes hot. Especially with developments at the end of the current update, there is the promise (IMO) of both an increase in the quantity of lewd scenes, and their potential hotness. Included in this is a pretty big cuckquean aspect that could play a bigger part going forwards, after essentially being teased for much of the game so far, so I’m excited for that.
Lastly, for a quick note on the girls, I would say the game is blessed. I have probably been a bit stingy on my ratings below, and anticipate some of these moving to higher tiers as I see more of them. There are a few girls I've not included as I don't really feel there is any progress to note yet, and a couple of those are a bit too small- and young-looking for my tastes (despite of course "all being over eighteen"!).
It does have to be said that there are issues with the production of this game, sadly, so when that next update will come is currently unknown. Once the issues are sorted out, the dev suggests it might not take long, but there is no timeframe on the resolution of the issues, so we can do nothing but wait.

Games of Domination by JohnJohnsonGames
This is another of those games with a “surprise adult daughter you didn’t know you had” theme, but with a bit of a difference. Normally, the discovery of a new daughter (or daughters) is the main element of such games, but here, it’s almost secondary to the main plot. As the name suggests, there are sexual games involved, and that gives us the main overall theme.
The husband and wife, who make up two of the four main characters, are in an unconventional marriage where they play these sexual games, challenging each other to complete tasks. Some of these involve the wife’s sister, who sometimes joins them for threesomes. The wife is also the owner of an adult-themed hotel, and acts as mistress for her assistant and the household’s new maid, both of whom are dominated by both the husband and the wife.
So the introduction of the new daughter is the cause of a changing dynamic in the household, but is far from the main story of the game. I quite like how this gives enough of a story to provide substance to the game and flesh out the characters more, rather than only having one main element to focus on. There’s an indication that both the husband and wife could get involved with the new daughter and also their existing, younger daughter, plus the wife’s sister (who is the only one to already have a sexual history with them) and her twin daughters.
The graphics of the game are fine – they are probably mid-range, but occasionally there will be an odd facial expression that just doesn’t look right, or something like that. The gameplay is fine as well with plenty of choices giving small variations to each scene, but also building stats for the characters. Most of these variations act as “dom” or “sub” counters, and I like how all the characters can build these – it’s not just that one person always gets the “dom” choices and another always gets the “sub” ones. There are also “lust” counters for some characters, and likely other measures that I didn’t specifically notice in my playthrough.
The writing is okay in terms of the story – it jumps straight into things with no real build up, but moves pretty smoothly once you’re past that opening. There are a few typos here and there, so some proofreading would be beneficial, but it’s not too bad. Overall, I think this one could be good fun, especially when the games of domination properly get started, and everyone gets involved.

So far, there have been I think three lesbian scenes, and maybe five MF/MFF scenes, so they're not mostly lesbian.
let me rephrase there is a lot of lesbo scenes,have u are right.
For MFF U can exclude Kate + iris + MC. Kate was just watching,for me is more vanilla sex anal.
U can also exclude Kate + Rose + MC MC started fuck rose and left before Rose/Kate sex scenes seem to me more lesbo scenes.
Whatever the game is good,hope we don't be forced to share our LI.But form what DEV kate said it is depend of our choice

Just found a gem of a sandbox, with a really deep story and gorgeous models. Finding Cloud 9. Cheers!

It's on my list to try. Hopefully not the "bad kind" of sandbox though
(The bad kind is where you just get dumped with no direction on where to go/what to do and have to work it out through trial and error.)

No, it has 0 grind. Just the events are structured as a sandbox, tied to parts of the day, but always told when and where, so it is literally impossible to get lost. The story is rather unique in the AVN world.It's on my list to try. Hopefully not the "bad kind" of sandbox though

It's not a graphics style that works for me, so I've not played it.

Graphics aside Red String is good... Its not quite as amazing as people make out, (kinda lost its way a bit) but the way it handles and manages choices... Fuck me, if TACOS could do half the shit red string does it be a good game.

honestly as far as 2d games are considered red string is one of the few I like the graphic / art style if it isn't gonna be 2d anime. Most other 2d games I find harder to play.
Tho I never finished one playthrough while I did like the game alot. I was playing to many paths at once and with all the branching I burnt myself out
