VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Where the Heart Is [EP25] [CheekyGimp]

Every girl you meet wants a relationship with mc
Problem is keeping these relations a secret I feel like this game wants you to have a relationship with every girl But if you do someone sure gonna find out and not gonna be happy Also what are these woman in the household No patch means they are not family right ?
This game needs a harem option
there is no way to know who you can date while also dating someone else
Or who you can cheat on with another girl

There are quite a few different women to romance and their personalities are clearly different. And I quite enjoy that the different storylines, although obviously a bit silly, actually involve seduction and romance and are actually kind of sweet at times.
It's always great to see something different to the usual 'women can't resist your huge d*ck'.
The renders and animations are decent and don't use the choice dialogue box when there is no choice, i.e. 'click to penetrate' which is a pet peeve of mine.
All in all, I'd say this is one of the better games of this type that I have played.

Been following this game for a while and hadn't realized I never reviewed it. Keep it short. Great characters, great scenes. REALLY going above and beyond with the choice of 4some3somesolo with the girls from chapter 19. Dev has found a lot more support lately but the quality of updates has not gone down.

Excellent, indeed. All-round a great game. Solid writing, style is easy to read, straightforward and engaging. Story is interesting, if not very original, but that works to its advantege imo, it's cliche but in a good way. Art is great, some of the best around. Plenty of characters, all unique and attractive in their own ways, with believable motives/motivations.. Sex scenes are plentyfull and have proper buildup/follow up. Decent number of different fetishes, all done very tastefully. Also, you can define your relationships pretty much however you want, with a few exceptions. Yea, it's just that good. Lots of content, regular updates, quality seems to be improving every update. Serious dev, serious talent.

Color me a fan. 5/5. Awesome.

It is a good game. with excellent animation and development in each of the characters and i like so much the way the story has been made. On the other hand the updates go out regularly and they often show us the progress

"Where The Heart Is" is an adult visual novel. Its got a lot more content than others and it's one of the best in the genre. You go to stay with a friend of your mother's and her 2 daughters who you used to live with years ago. The building up of the relationships is done really well. It's a really good game.

Fantastic! Just FANTASTIC! I expected it to be a game, but it turned out to be a great work of art! At first, I was upset that the sex scenes were old-fashioned, but I continued to play for girls with great looks and great characters. And I don't regret continuing, because in subsequent episodes, the sex scenes were developed and became perfect. I also encountered more sexy girls than I expected from a game, and as I kept moving forward, their numbers increased. Some of the factors that make the game a work of art are its great script and Jokes. Now all I expect from the game is the a harem ending where I can take all the girls. If you have not yet downloaded and played the game, I recommend you to play it. You won't regret it!

really fun game, and the different routes are fun. I do wish there was some separation on the routes for each girl so that you could pass up on opportunities without feeling like you are just skipping content, but the women are all interesting and have their perks, and it does have plenty of fun and enjoyable scenes. 8/10

Easy 5 out of 5. Good enough story to keep you intrigued about things and well built with multiple branches and flexibility on you playthroughs. Renders are high quality with good variation among possible LIs. Love that they have added the possibility to start at any episode with different setting, not forcing you to skim lots of scenes or use someone elses saves just to try different things.

Easily one of the best adult games of all times. It has fun interesting characters. It's not buggy, and coded properly. The characters are well developed. Nice build up and pacing. Original story well written. The characters are ealistic. It has some funny humerus points. If you are stuck someone made a walkthrough mod. There is different paths, and it has replay value. Lots of content.

PROS
- I gotta say, this is one of the most well written games I've ever played. Each character has a different personality and their dialogues stick true to their character.
- I initially disliked that infamous 'frame-by-frame' animation as they look terrible and dated but thankfully its only restricted to the older episodes. I planned on this point being a 'con' but I won't criticize something the dev has fixed.
- No blueballing with the sexual content (at least in the latter episodes). And they don't throw sex scenes around just for the sake of it. Each one has meaning to it and sufficient buildup behind it.
- Usually a game either has a good story with no NSFW content or lots of sex with a terrible plot. This is one of those few games that successfully does both. I'm really engaged in the story and the plots devices such as finding out who is the gold-digger is or Jenna's transformation where she comes out of her shell. I find myself looking forward to how the plot will develop.
- The characters here look realistic. You know, like actual people. Not pornstars or supermodels. The older women also look true to their age. None of that '20 year old looking milfs' that we see so often

CONS
- This game initially did not have harem. However, the harem fans demanded its inclusion and now the author is trying to shoehorn it in at this late stage in the game. The problem with this is that it leads to several plot inconsistencies. The game has set-up various potential polyamorous relationships with 'Jolina and Jenna' and 'Zarah and Monica'. However, lets take Katie's example since that harem is already set-up. Katie's character is someone that did not want to share her boyfriend with anyone. She is quite frequently depicted as a jealous and possessive character. Even labelled the MC's dick as a sole belonging of hers. She is never gonna be okay if the MC sleeps with someone else, right? In quite literally the next episode, she allows all her friends to sleep with him. Breaking her character development and the game's realistic tone. I have no problem with the act of sleeping with multiple women at once, its just disappointing when its done while sacrificing a character's identity just to provide fanservice.
- No music or sound effects.

In conclusion, its a pretty solid game and I recommend checking it out.

I kept seeing other players post things like, "Looking for games like 'Where the Heart is'" on various forums so I decided to give this game a try. My expectations where a bit too high coming into it but I enjoyed the game very much once I stuck with it.

Pros

• Good to Excellent renders
• Excellent characters with unique personalities
• Excellent character development
• Excellent variety of clothing that looks real and not painted on
• Excellent humor and banter between the characters
• Very long game with lots of hours of content - the longest game I've played on this site

Cons

• The dialog is quite verbose and it takes a while for it to lead anywhere. There is too much unmeaningful dialog that could be skipped or condensed in my opinion. All the characters in the game have long conversations that can get tiring after a while. I never did skip through the dialog but I was tempted to quite often.
• I was bothered that nearly all of the girls in the game have a potty or gutter mouth, meaning that they freely swear like a sailor, including the shy and innocent Jenna. This is one area where some of the characters break immersion for me.
• The first eight episodes of the game were a learning curve for the developer. Nearly everything is improved in later episodes of the game, especially the animations and some renders. The animations in the first eight episodes are done poorly using only a couple of frames so it is really rough and primitive. It really ruined the sex scenes for me but was fixed in later episodes.
• This is largely a kinetic novel, meaning that most choices are made for the character. The player gets to choose who he wants to romance and is often given a dialog choice for responses to the characters in the game, some being better than others. There are no sandbox or "free roam" elements in this game. It is 100% story driven.
• I don't care for the character models of Monica and Zarah. They are unattractive to me and have little appeal.
• The game kind of sets up the player for failure as it allows and often encourages you to romance every girl in the game like a harem but the author claims it isn't a harem game. It also goes to the extent of hardly any of the girls knowing you are romancing six other girls at the same time and the few that do find out tell you that they are OK with it (Jenna and Jolina for example). As of episode 19, you can literally romance every girl in the game with no consequences. This is going to be quite the feat for the author to resolve in later episodes if there truly isn't a harem ending. Instead of forcing the player to choose, he allows you to romance everyone at the same time. I have six girlfriends in the game. That is a lot to resolve and it will be hard to blame it all on the player when the game kind of encourages it and allows it.
• Some of the sex scenes are done really well but most are average. Many authors struggle with making the H scenes erotic, sensual, and meaningful and this is sometimes the case here. I've learned that it takes an entirely different skillset to pull this off well.
• Even in later episodes with better animation, the penetration animations (oral, vaginal, anal) don't have enough back and forth movement. Most of the penetration scenes only move back and forth one to two inches. Since the MC has a large dick it looks funny.

Final Thoughts

Despite the cons, the game is quite enjoyable if you get past the first eight episodes.

You'll find many of the common tropes in this game and the story is engaging but not really unique.

The unique personalities of all the girls and the excellent character development are really what make the game shine! The humor and banter between the various characters in the game is a near masterpiece!

In most games I wish there was more content. This is not the case here. There is tons of content and it has so much that it has as much content as three or four other games combined.

I really enjoyed the game overall and recommend that players give it a try!

In a few words the game is good, but has some flows. One of the problems is that it is just a bit too long. There is enough material there to make 2 or 3 separate games with different stories, models and everything. In fact, you can see how the graphics and animation improve in later episodes. Episodes 1 and 19 look very different. Another problem is that despite all the variety you don't really have any choice. Moreover, some girls will almost harass you if you are not interested in them, which feels quite unnatural even for a sex game. Additionally, you can proclaim your love and be a boyfriend to all the girls simultaneously without any repercussions. However, this is still an enjoyable game worthy of attention.

Art is poor.
Dialogues so similar and boooooring.
Unrealistic girls' and stupid MS's behaviour
There is a bunch of girls but I didn't like a single one
Sex scenes bad
This game was boring and disappointing for me.

Hmm, I would like to write a review about this game. At first I didn't want to download it because of the screenshots, but I decided to take this step and in the end... the game made a repulsive impression on me. Childish dialogues, not really good-looking girls especially this Zara milf. I think I'll have nightmares with her from this moment. Mediocre renders. Sex scenes are meh. Music and sound effects are absent and this is a huge no go. After 20 minutes I found myself skipping dialogues just to see scenes. And also this game really tried to force landlady. No matter how hard you try to avoid her, she is acting like you're romanicng her

The game has good graphics and story involving the slow teasing and sensible direction of story. The hidden traits of characters and the way story is progressing is very interesting, though now need to be careful about decisions becuase of negative points as well. The developer of game is quite active. Looking forward to more content in the upcoming releases.

Just an excellent game that I have played over the past few years. The story isn't the most original but it is entertaining and the twists keep the plot interesting. Apart from that, the characters are broad and unique and it was a thrill to play through all 19 Episodes!

Ep.19
Perhaps the best erotic scenes I ever seen in a game. Especially teasing and gruppensex with Katie and her two (girl)friends. Most other girls are amazing too (for instance, the blondes Joline, Wanda and Mabel).

MILFs can be a bit annoying in the beginning (if you are not into such stuff), but eventually you can tell them to back off.

The story is interesting and well written.

Though some details are not perfect. For instance, some days have "passed uneventful", while there were urgent things to do and many girls to bang.

Still, it's a certain five star, AAA game.

In my opinion this is one of the best VNs here. It has character depth, driven story, and the renders are top notch.
PROS
Humor
Story
Character depth
Beautiful women
CONS
Small typos here and there
Overall
This VN has been going on for a long time. Honestly I don't even remember when I started playing it, but it doesn't matter. The story is a bit cliche, but it fits perfectly. Lots of things happening in this VN. Revenge, seduction, money, and beautiful ladies. With those things you can't go wrong. This is probably one of the top five VNs I actually look forward to get updates for. Keep up the great work and keep the updates coming

Great game, Great characters is all I can say about this game overall. one good point is that the quality of renders and animation are improving every update, but the problem is that the story has reached so far, that there's no worthwhile content left. from the way I see it, this game is aiming for the story level of Milfy city. ( Ikr, Nowadays this game is turning into just go home have sex, go to sisters have sex, go to friends place have sex, go stepmoms have sex. ) Not sure how much more the dev is gonna milk this game. I have seen this game come from grainy renders and janky animations to what it is today. The Dev should really close this chapter and start a new game .
Now since that's off the table, the ratings
Story : 2/5 and continuing to degrade.
Renders: 4/5 - greatly improved
Animations : 4/5- also a lot of improvement seen
Characters 4/5
Overall rating : 4/5
