    Another early demo release not even worth downloading (v0.1). This VN is so generic that it hurts: Ren'py based 'click to see next slide or line of text' "gameplay" with no dialogue options and a cliched 'young guy lives in a house full of women' no-brainer story (from a 15-year-old boy's fantasy). The only difference - there is no convoluted free roam around the house (turn left, go upstairs etc.) to cover lack of content. You just scroll through scenes and watch people talk or undress. All girls instantly want to ride MCs big cock even though they're your mom or sisters. Dialogue is accordingly brainless: 'wow, you're packing a nice cock, let's fuck'. This VN is just a short 10 minutes preview and looks like a project that will take a long time and will never be finished. Not worth thinking about it now or ever.

    Review based on V0.1 of the game.

    The basic story is what we have already seen 100 times in other games. MC has lived separately from his family for some years but suddenly has to go home again to help his family after his fathers death who died under suspicious circumstances.

    His family consist of the usual characters, a kind but naïve mom, a cute, energetic younger sister, a bitchy older sister, a sexy aunt and a funny female cousin.

    There is a twist though. Unlike in other games, it's not the MC who suddenly realizes that he is attracted to his family members and starts to creep on them, but actually few years before the start of the game after becoming drunk he already had sex with the older sister who had a secret crush on him. Her current bitchyness is probably because MC has treated this event as a big mistake and left the family home to study in a different city leving his sister behind and later on he even brought home a girl who later cheated on him.

    The younger sister is also not the usual naïve innocent girl who doesn't know anything about sex. She actually has a lesbian relationship with their cousin and they are both sexually interested in MC after the younger sister accidentally witnessed him and the older sister having sex on that day few years ago.

    That means since the sisters and cousin don't have to go through the usual gradual seduction/corruption the dev could use this situation to create a somewhat unique relationship plotline with them.
    I hope this will be the case otherwise this game will really be just another iteration of the same cliché story and events we have seen hundred times.

    Other than this, the game doesn't really have anything that would set it apart from other similar games.
    The writing is not bad. Nothing really exceptional, but at least it's not engrish and the dialogue feels natural and fluid.
    The character models would be ok, but the faces are low detail and look empty most of the time. Other times when they show strong emotions they can be so distorted they don't even look human. So there are tons of games with much better graphics out there but if that is not the most important to you it's still acceptable.

    To sum it up, no part of this game is really outstanding which would make it average at best, but it also doesn't have any big flaws that would make you really annoyed why playing which makes it a solid play experience.

    I gave it 4 stars in the hope that dev could make something out of the situation with the sisters. But even if not it's still at least an average game with rather solid game experience that you could check out if you have nothing better lined up in your queue.

    Just another average VN. It does have a decent amount of play time though.
    Overall
    Cliche story with cliche characters. Maybe it'll get more substance with future updates.
    The story is sorta like another VN out there. Just the father figure was murdered instead of disappearing.
    The MC has been painted as a weak lead. Looks like he's gonna be hated by one, and lusted after by others. Give him a backbone, and give us the choice to retaliate when attacked.
    This is only my opinion. I'll update this rating if things change with the next update.
