Review of Episode 13
You never forget your first time.
This VN was the first VN I chose to play when I discovered F95 and fell down the rabbit hole of adult VNs and porn games. Monica was my first love and probably will remain so, even if she turns out to be a gold digging whore who's teased me for 13+ episodes just to get her hands on my inheritance.
This game doesn't feature music, sound effects, galleries, or achievements. It features the rarest thing found in VNs - outstanding writing.
Briefly, after the death of the MC's shitbag narcissistic father, you are contacted by an old friend of your mother who had a hand in raising you until your mom's untimely death. You are happily reunited for the first time in over a decade and move in with her family in a motherly gesture on the friend's part that promises to heal old wounds. Along with the old friend are her two daughters of whom you have childhood memories. Around this cast of three is a baker's dozen of available slam pieces including the dad's toxic but tasty widow, various models with various degrees of mental stability, and a coffee shop owner with tits that could put Starbucks out of business. Here's the rub: there's an inheritance worth millions at stake if the MC only follows an outrageous posthumous demand from his father, but is that sacrifice worth the millions of dollars the MC stands to gain? Worse yet, there are other people who have a chance at the inheritance, some of whom the MC may be trying to seduce or, conversely, may be trying to seduce the MC. Can the MC trust anyone else's motives? Can he trust his own?
The active discussions around the game with each release are a testament to the thrilling nature of the story. That, by itself, would make this a five-star game. But fortunately, the teasing is among the best I've encountered in a VN. Quite often, I save scum my favorite dialogue, in addition to my favorite sex scenes. I find it that hot at times.
You may recognize the DAZ models from other games, but you won't mistake the characters. Each one is unique and individual and, as a player, I find it quite hard to choose my favorite among them. (Still pulling for that Happy Harem ending!) I find the characters' personalities as attractive as the physical assets of the models.
While the writing is not always perfect and the dialogue can cause the occasional cringe (mostly due to the overuse of homophobic "humor"), not to mention a controversial plot outcome in Episode 8, the thrilling nature of the mystery and the nuance in the story far outweighs any imperfections.
Do yourself a favor and play this game. Now.
Highest recommendation!
