The game has a promising start, the renders are beautiful, all of your relatives are gorgeous...
Max as a character becomes more unlikable as the game goes on..the constant peeping and petty manipulations to his family make him in my opinion worse than Eric...If Max were an animal he would be a rat, dishonest and manipulative, creepy and underhanded, a voyeur and a pervert...relationship you have with the rest of your family feels gross..
And finally in conclusion, I hate the main character, he's creepy and I actually want him to fail, even though I am currently playing as him...
You just made the perfect resume of my thinking. Agreed 100% !

Yeah i was expecting a real heroic act of MC to get rid of eric, something that make the girls look at him different so he does not have to be so lame and creepy, but no, it's just gone, nobody knows why or where but nobody cares anymore.

It reminds me that south park episode "and its gone"

The visuals are undeniable great, but what the game really lacks is character developement. It is in fact an "early" build for a small (one man?) team, so one can still hope.

As people said before, the beginning is quite interesting, you can still trigger some stuff by changing your sisters opinion of you. But later it comes down to hit wait until the next linear scene is triggered - I cannot imagine how it would feel like to play this game without cheats :O
The old scenes also need to show some variation, e.g. Lisa sleeps naked and sucks Max's dick, but when he walks in on her dressing, she is upset ... why? After the 10th time she should either lock the door, don't care anymore or maybe even tease him. The whole interaction became too linear, there is no real interaction with the other characters and therefore the game looses its flair. I was not surprised in the last versions, you only slowly get what the first version already promised you.

When can I throw spiders into the shower again? Or when is somebody approaching Max for a change? Why are the sisters so stupid, take Alice - why does she not realize that spiders only appear when Max is around. A nice twist out of the situation could be that at some point, she agrees to tan topless when no more spiders appear in her vicinity.
Max might still need to clean the garden of spiders, but everybody would be happy :D

That is also why I like Olivia best, she is the only one that seems to act on her own will. Maybe mostly because she is not one of the mindless zombies you have to interact with every day.
Adding more characters is of course a way to solve the problem, but I think adding variety and depth to the existing characters would result in a much better game.

You might have thought that developers had realized why people like Akabur's games so much (appart from the grinding, you cheat anyway). But real depth and the tiny surprises probably do not increase the number of subscribers as fast.

Same. You work your ass off grinding to get the women to respond to you the you wimp out and go to the mob or Kate's Mom. You told Kira what he was up to but does she talk to Anne and show her the ID??? Its fucking anticlimactic. No one knows or cares. This is more a visual novel that a game. Because it is all scripted to play one way. The only difference is you have to fucking grind your ass.

and what really piss me off is that you really don't know what happen to he in both options of get rid of he, if he is still alive or if he will come back and to the eyes of the mom and sister you are the bad guy that was pissing the mom's nice boyfriend, maybe even they blame you for the eric's left, and they don't know that in fact he was a criminal an abuser and a cheater. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

This seems to be true for most of the WIP games I've played/am playing, but a big chunk of the gear grinding comes down to the fact that these are indeed WIPs. So you do all the grind that is intended for a game with, I dunno, five or six hours of gameplay, but you get it midstream and so there's only the grind plus like six sexytime events and 90 minutes of play. So it just feels slogged out, because you go month to month with only a little bit more new spank bank content.

Anyway, that's my take. That's not excusing what are some really questionable story telling/writing decisions by these devs. But I'm not looking for The Godfather here. I want to look at CG boobs and get a nut. So it's an exercise in managed expectations.

Contrast that with the Akabur games, where they are unquestionably grindsome but (at least in my case) I only ever played the completed game. (I mean..... 'completed'.....) So yes, it took ages (before I learned cheats) to get money, and manipulate points, and stockpile wine, and all that other crap, but once you got past that............... sexytime galore.

More than the game itself it's the patreon format that is grinding my gear or rather the episodic turn it force game maker and game to take .
On some game there is no problem , overwhored , the last sovereign because the core of the game doesn't change and is not in perpetual flux. On game like big brother where the gameplay and mechanic are in constant evolution and it seem the writer doesn't have a firm idea of what he his going to do that can lead to hour of grinding for little content and or into frustrating situation where you have to wait to be able to do anything . In and on itself this can, through the backlash of support warp the design of a game .
That's why I have avoided playing the game until the M.C could do something about his situation .

But you cant do anything, even after you kick eric your mom is still an abused woman a rape victim with terrible mental problems just like the big sister and the porn aunt

Typo, meant to say am avoiding this game , which is pretty hard since I like the mechanics and the awesome graphic used .
To add to my post I don't mind the confusion and the state of impotence the MC is in , it leave large option to grow out of it , Eric being the Edipian adversarial figure whom you can either befriend and betray , tolerate and work against or if that's you thing help and befriend to have the scrap. Being implied that first you can grow out of it and have option , no the thing that made me wait is the fact unlike you Eric has access to the girls much , much more easily and rapidly than you .
The dichotomy between your grind to have scrap and his easy peasy approach is infuriating .
Also I have only read about the aunt and big sister so can't say much , but still the way the game is set up you seem to have a variety of way to deal with those thing , the asshole way ,the weak way , the coward way and the glorious harem way .

This has already been addressed. The original poster is not a native english speaker, and grammatical mistakes are common if english is not your first language. Please don't harass people, pointing this out DOES not make you look smart, it DOES make you look like a jerk though.

Wow, you're salty. It actually should say 'Does this game grind your gears?'.

Grammar should always have proper punctuation. Periods and QUESTION MARKS should go at the end of sentences, at least the original poster understood this.

There now, we each have pointed out a grammatical mistake from the other. Does your life have more meaning now? Can we stop this pointlessness, or are we going to continue to go back and forth until the moderators delete all of these posts?

Like Kira and Lisa both tell Max not to say upsetting things but he keeps saying stuff to upset Lisa. When Kate told him not to talk he pretty much kept his mouth shut. Now with Lisa is is acting like a punk who never been sucked off before.
Except with Alice to, you have no option but to open your mouth when you have been told to keep it shut.

It would have fit classic RPG dialog gameplay if you were given a choice. Did you pay attention gamer? No? Well, try again next time. Yes? Congrats your character is not a dimwit and can proceed straight on.

But no. You have no choice. The Lisa/Aunt training just highlights it. It is as if you played Mass Effect and only were given one dialog choice.

These and other games desperately need more paths, not story lines but different approaches to progress along the same lines.

Lisa thinks of you as her best friend yet if you are, nothing happens. You can help her with her homework and you are locked out of mentoring because you need to early on already blackmail her into doing something for you in exchange for helping you with her homework.

But despite acting really hurt by this, she doesn't change her opinion of you...

The real achievement of this game is not that it is good but that it has so many yearning for it to be good rather then just go "it is a porn game, what do you expect".

The creator has added some hot scenes and we the audience are going "But what about feelings!".
