[as of Ep. 20]
I want to preface this review by saying that I have been playing adult games on and off for a long time. I have been a member of this website since 2018, before that, I used to get all of my adult games from /aco/ on 4chan. In all of my time playing adult games, there has never been a game that I liked or loved more than this game.
I recently discovered this game and completed it for the first time last weekend. I have to say that I am blown away. I love reading but I think nobody here would disagree if I say that a vast majority of games here have a very poor storyline and worse writing. I used to read every single bit of text in my early days of adult gaming but as I played more and more, I got bored of the redundant bullshit that the devs spun and it has become a habit of mine lately to spam ctrl and select skip all messages to skim through every new game that I play. This gives me the idea of the storyline and if the story seems intriguing, I go back and start from the beginning and do a careful playthrough. The same was the case with this game, and the only difference being that I was hooked very early on.
Let's talk about the story. The story is not Pulitzer winning but it's not bad either. In my opinion it one of the very best that this site has to offer. I played with DrAddy's Incest/Walkthrough mod so I consider Monica as Mom and Katie and Jenna as Sisters to be canon.
Usually, for most of the games that I play, I only like one character and ignore the rest. Many times no character in the game is eyecatching and everyone has bland and shitty dialogues but in this game, all of the characters are so unique and cleverly written that I can't help getting attached to each one of them. Not at any point while I was playing that I got bored and wanted to skip dialogue. Each girl has a completely separate and consistent personality and it seemed to me that the writer had figured them out completely before writing the story.
Now some words about the suspense and the twists. After playing the game it seems to me that every girl that we meet except the two virgin sisters (Katie and Jenna) has been fucked or at least tried to fuck by MC's dad. Nothing is said openly but it is hinted at often. Here are a few examples: a) Monica (ex-wife) b) Elaine (GF) c) Angel hints at being with a guy like MC's dad d) Jolina hints at something similar e) Zarah hints at being made a pass at by some like him f) Theresa is hinted to one of them too g) Bella tells MC that his dad made a pass at her too. These are all the ones that I can remember off the top of my head.
Also, Elaine was so heavily implied to be the villain in the beginning and throughout the story that I was almost sure that the writer was trying to through us off the scent of the real villain and there would be a twist in the end but in the last episode we got the picture of Elaine entering the coffee shop so I guess I was wrong. I was beginning to like Elaine so much that after the golden trio (Mom and Sisters), she was my most favorite character but I guess she really likes money and is gonna fuck us over in the end anyway.
I have read in the thread that there will be no Harem route and that makes a lot of sense and I appreciate that the dev decided to not ruin his game by forcing a harem route on this game. Although I would have liked to have an ending with [the golden trio] or maybe [Katie and her friends] or [Jenna and Jolina] or [Elaine and Bella] or [Monica and Elaine and Dizzy] etc. What I'm trying to say is that instead of a complete harem we could get small groups of twos and threes making the story a lot more fun.
The absence of a harem route gives the game a lot of replayability value. I don't usually replay adult games but I will definitely be replaying this one a lot.
And finally the models and character design. I love the character models so much in this game and even though they aren't the best or most high quality that you can find on this website, they complement the story nicely and I wouldn't change them if given the choice.
In conclusion, this is my all-time favorite game on this website and I am eagerly looking forward to its completion. Good luck to the dev and his team. I end this review with a request, and that is please add pregnancy, birth, and some time after the birth in the game too, before the end as to give some closure to us as a player. Don't just end on "and they lived happily ever after". I want to see their happily ever after. This is an adult game and here we get everything that we desire, right? all of our fetishes? so seeing their happily ever after is my fetish. Thanks and Good day.
5/5 in everything. Perfect.
