VN - Ren'Py - Dual Family [v1.22.1ce] [Gumdrop Games]

Tried before, found it was a pain to play, didn't even allow text fast forward trying to read it was painful, wasn't worth the effort.
Came to see how it was doing.
Find it now takes 2 downloads one of which is 7 gig and clearly was never compressed.
Would be nice if it was better or the dev cared more but after this many years, na, this game isn't seeming like it even wants to be worth my time.

I havent played this game since 2018....thats almost 4 years....i saw that act 1 was finally done and decided "you know what that game had GOOD cg and great starting story" little did i know THAT ALL IT HAD, it hasnt changed in 4 god damn years, i was so mad and so blu balled by the end of the dads story that i rage deleted the game... i dunno if the son has a better story or even if the game has sex, but im UN willing to download act 2 due to my disappointment, listen if your here for a story thats what your getting, if your here for debauchery theres almost 0 and the scenes you get are at weird angles and you almost see NOTHING

What the dev is doing to his own project is bordering on child abuse and someone should call social services to rescue the poor thing from this edgefest of a drug fueled development hell.
Getting invested into the interesting and quite smart dual story of part one and than part 2 is like watching a young aspiring soccer player blowing out both his kneecaps simultaneously with two double barrel shotguns

Played part 1 a long time ago and was disappointed with how little porn it had, Part 2 is more of the same in quality (though has less porn than part 1) but the story is nonlinear.

If anyone is wants to follow the story in order start with the Madonna painting and go counter clockwise then the events on the plane. The story is still feels like you skip 30 chapters but you get a better idea of what is happing. I did not have fun going though this it was more morbid curiosity to see how we ended up here.

One thing though that would make it more bearable is if we were able to skip dramatic pauses. Everyone reads at different speeds and having being forced to wait really breaks the flow.

The narrative flow of this game is jarring. Scenes abruptly end or skip. It's honestly impossible to understand what is going on. It should also be noted that there doesn't seem to be any actual sex in this game. Everything is one big tease. If you want a headtrip and blue balls then this might be for you, but for everyone else, STAY AWAY.

was a decent game back in time, I dunno what happened, why dev decided to make the game like this but It's very bad right now. definitely deserves one star but I'll give two stars just for the old version's sake.

i usually dont like to write reviews if the game its not good in my opinion, but this one is in another level. This game had the opportunity to be a very good game in the beginning and now its just a thing that need to be stopped.
At least now the comments are funnier.

The original game was excellent but the following 'very strange' updates are beyond normal human comprehension. Hopefully one day the developer with be able to continue with the original game but it doesn't look promising at the moment despite hundreds of comments saying the same thing. Personally I think that both games should be separate entities instead of being linked together.

Le terrible game. Story is all over the place, so you wont really understand whats going on. Not really any context. Really bad... The dev is probably high or something, so i cant recommend it sadly. The first part was much better.

hmmm, not my cup of tea. let us not forget what kind of "games" these are. seems here the dev has gone outta their way to waste your time. no skip all text option, purposeful delay in transitions to stop spam clicking and barely any porn in a porn "game" sure some of these have decent stories but the main focus is the main focus (fapping) ill give it 2 stars seeing as i reserve 1 star for unity games that barely function so that extra star is a technicality on the bases that this actually runs.

As far as story goes, I think this is one of the better NSFW games. In terms of porn and jack-off material, there is very little. So little in fact, that the only person I got to have sex with was with my sister's friend, and she was half-way through the game. I'd definitely recommend going somewhere else for getting your rocks off. I haven't played as the dad, but the son's story is pretty all right. Primarily he's doing small things, making minor decisions that don't make much of an impact on the overall story, but I like the interactions between the mother and the son, as most games typically just have the son trip into the mother's boobs or something along those lines, so it's a breath of fresh air to have the main character actually think and sort of struggle about how incest will affect him and his relationships with everyone in his family.
For me, the son's story is a huge cock-tease, they always dangle sex over the player's head without ever letting us get the carrot, so I end up feeling mostly frustrated with the lack of anything going on.

Worst game I've wasted my time with. Don't bother. Endless clicking through for absolutely nothing. Worst game I've wasted my time with. Don't bother. Endless clicking through for absolutely nothing.

Really really bad.

First, as other mention, the renders are ok, would be much better if their facial expressions ever changed.... Maybe if their hair moved like when they are looking up or down....

The idea behind the game is ok.

So.......... Everything else is bad. From the magically appearing skeleton in the jet to everything else.... So completely manic. It's really kind of hard to explain.....someone else mentioned it's like being on an acid trip and not a good one.... That is so accurate. The story just goes here and there but the story line doesn't hold together at all. It's like having a few books open, reading one page from each then turning the page over and over and expecting it to make sense and be good.

There aren't really any free choices in that if given a chance to choose between 4 or 5 things to do, you don't have a choice....you are required to click through each one before proceeding.

Not really free roaming either in that you can't 'look around' like at the beach you only have 1 view. You can't look around in a room....

Others mention it's pretty much abandoned anyway so it doesn't matter much...... But this game honestly needs to be wiped and started fresh with a different writer.

Can be considered abandoned. Great potential but dev is just milking for money at this point. Terribly disappointed in the developers behaviour. Good concept and gameplay but developers just decided to give up with no explanation and kept milking his subscribers on patreon.

You may have seen this pop up many times in Latest Updates, thinking "well there's an active dev".

Save your time. There is virtually no sex in this game, and what there is is deliberately clipped from artsy versions of late-night cable angles of the action (ie, you can't see any).

The story setup seems alright at first, but the dialogue is painfully drawn out to artificially add length. It turns out, the whole thing is just a big shaggy dog joke. Skip it and save your time.

Part I was decent. I actually like the dynamic duo of mom-son or father-daughter. Not a lot of game have this kind of dynamic. Was pretty invested in this project.

Part II is absolute trash. Dont even bother downloading this game even if its free

This was one of the first games I ever played and it was great at the time. Sadly things didn't last. Years of missed deadlines and lies and now we have some pathetic excuse of content updates to keep his rubes on the hook. PASS

This is what happen when a dev get bored of it's game but do not want to work on something else...

The start of the game is okissh, not bad but not good, but the more you play, the weirder it get.

At some point, it feel like the dev take strong drug to force himself to continue the story.. It's get weird and random.

Dont do drug kid and if you need them to work, maybe you should work on something else.

I like to think that I give honest critique when I post a review.............there are very few aspects of this game that are ok, but none of them are worth being called redeeming. The story is disjointed and half real life situation, half dream sequence youd find in a tim burton film gone wrong. The real upset is that there isnt enough X rated content to consider this a erotic game.

At the end of the day the story is an acid trip, and not the kind that people brag about from the 70s, but more the kind that puts a person in a psych ward.

The good news, renders aren't too bad. The story isn't bad. The characters are quite a bit different so that makes it interesting.

The bad .... Well usually you have to guess what button the creator wants you to push to get to where YOU want to go. Sometimes you can get there by guessing over and over until you get it right. Sometimes it just takes you on an eternal loop.

Result... one of the worst and frustrating game experiences EVER!!!
