VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Family Matters [Ep. 1-10] [Perv2k16]

This could have been 4 or 5 star game if something's improved. First of all game got a nice story and renders. Models are your usual models but they are polished well. If you love Playing nice story game you can try this. Now bad things about the game. Some characters writing could have been made better for example scarlet and Julie. I felt scarlet is unnecessary in this game and there is Nicole she just a neighbour MC will have some casual fun with her. Best girl in the game is Vicky she's a prostitute but seems like there is more than that according to the plot. But now we don't know maybe her being a prostitute is a facade don't know. There is no NTR in the game don't worry about it. Most of the time game will present you with only one choice and you have to click through it. It felt annoying there is no need to give a choice if there is only one.

Story was good but we don't know it's conclusion now.

This game is a bit frustrating. On the one hand it has very good graphics and some renders are really nice. The charcters look really attractive. But on the other hand the story is a bit too much complicated and time wasting. Worst thing is that the game jumps between locations right in the middle of the sex scenes.

This review is for the game up to Episode 10. Overall this isn't a bad game. The story is interesting, the characters are interesting, and the models are fantastic.

However, it has, in my opinion, two really big issues and one small one. The small one is that there is really not a lot of sexual content given the length of the game so far. I don't mind a good story-driven game, and were this the only issue I'd probably give it 5 stars.

The first big issue is the dialogue has so many typos and poor English that you sometimes have to really think about what the character means. I would guess the dev isn't a native English speaker, and that's fine, but having a native (or fluent) English speaker just go through and edit the dialogue would make it 100x better.

The second big issue is, as a few other reviewers have noted, this is much closer to a KN than a VN. There are some choices, especially early on, but more often than not there is only one choice you have to click to continue, and there's literally no point in forcing the viewer/player to do that.

Despite my complaints, I enjoyed the game, and if the dev ever releases more updates for it, I will certainly come back and play it again.

I enjoyed the game so far but I do have one point of constructive criticism. Throughout the game you are forced to click on an option to continue the game but there is only a single option so it serves no purpose other than to interrupt the gameplay. If it were a choice then it would make sense. Other than that the game was very good. The renders are fantastic and every girl is sexy! The game moves at a brisk pace and I look forward to more of the game.

I had put this game aside, telling myself that I would do it later, after 30 minutes I stopped.

The choices are useless, if there are events or characters that you want to avoid, well it's useless, it will happen anyway. It was also said that the characters progression is really, really slow. Usually doesn't bother me, but here the characters are completely open to you, seduce you... well actually no, that doesn't make sense, but that's how it is. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Positive points.
Well done characters models.

Negative points.
Everything else. Really, I would like to tell you about the story, but it's quickly bored me, when I went there with full hope.

Family Matter could have been much better. Shame. 2/5

pity, the game just has a style of being long-term construction,
it seems that one cannot be executed for this, but two and a half hard scenes for ten updates are for chickens to laugh at. especially when it turns out the scenes didn't actually happen at all - just blowjobs so far with a bit of dirty talk.
the graphics is very great and I love incest games. I'd place it in my top-7 or top-8, but too long to get to the scenes.. currently.

Gameplay: Point and click, however the hitboxes are ridiculously small and hard to find.

Writing: Honestly I was bored very quickly, the crime based part was really the only reason I stuck with it. The dialogue was stale, and typos were frequent. The protagonist has no trouble having sex with the girls, after one interaction they start going at it. I didn’t really feel any sense of progression, because you had the end goal after one conversation. If you play this, I would recommend you save some time, turn on skip all, and just skip until you get to the sex.

Art: The only thing this game has going for it. The models are good, while a little unrealistic. Personally I like that though.

Audio: Mostly royalty free stuff, with some cheesy sound effects.

If you want choice in a game; if you want to guide your MC based on your preferences; if you want to play multiple routes in a game--look elsewhere.

If you want a KN experience; want to just hit the auto advance and watch the story unfold (first, you'd have to enable the quick menu as the dev has disabled it by default); want forced sex with girls no matter how you feel about them or their relationship--give this one a try.

Much of what I'd say has already been stated in these reviews.
- Tons of single line choices which do nothing but slow the pace. (Choice box pops up, but with only once option in the box. One nevertheless has to click on the 'not' choice to advance the game.)
- Many faux choices. For example, open the door yes or no. Choose no and you're still opening the door a couple of lines later.
- Forced sex. Doesn't matter, you're going to bang everyone.
- Several "Game Over" options which are poorly implemented.
- Mediocre translation with poor word choices.

The only positive is the decent rendering of females.

I wouldn't bother.

This is one of those games that holds vaginal sex hostage until you level up your sex level with every girl. I don't mean some visible level stats, but rather the thought that every sexual relationship starts with a handjob, levels up to a blowjob and maybe one day after enough level-ups the people can have penetrative sex. As of episode 10, we're at the blowjob level. It doesn't matter if the girl is blood-related virgin or a professional call girl, this game makes you go through the bases like it was an RPG with level requirements. Even despite implying that the MC and the escort just had sex before the game starts. Doesn't matter, game starts and back to level 0 we go! There are some hints that anal sex is the ultimate form of sex in the dialogue, the final level, as if everyone liked the smell and taste of shit. But at this rate the final level is out somewhere mid-2030s, so no worries about that just yet.

The sex scenes have some decent themes and at times even pretty hot dialogue and setting, public play, light verbal S&M and taboo if enabled. Combined with the great visuals they would be extremely hot if they ever felt complete. The only sex scene that ends up with all participants getting an orgasm is one where the MC is not in. Every other scene in the game is one-sided foreplay that gets interrupted by doorbell, cellphone, doubts or whatever.

It seems like the creator is one of those people that cannot even comprehend a relationship that would continue after sex and is delaying that moment forever so that the show can go on. I mean, even in his dreams the MC only manages to get a handy so you can't even justify it as story progression even if you believed in the sexual level up trope.

On the more technical side the game has its ups and downs. The visuals are especially nice, easily above average. The story is decent; although there are some inconsistencies; like how supposedly experienced criminal sends a text implicating himself right after getting out of jail for lack of evidence. There are a ton of grammar errors, not to a point where the meaning would get lost but something the developer definitely should look through before the final version. Early on there are a few completely pointless mini-games, which luckily can be skipped, so not deal breakers, more like wasted development effort. On progression side I had several 1-option "choices", I'm unsure what those are about. Perhaps I just missed some pre-requisites for options to show up. But if so, perhaps it would be better to show the locked option to tell the player about it?

The final issue on technical side I had was with auto-paced text that sometimes skipped ahead automatically. It's a very bad practice when you can't be sure how fast the player is reading and if you are like me and play on instant text the screen just flashes past it when auto-advance happens at end of text that appears instantly.

Overall this one is still clearly very much in progress and might one day be a good game. If that happens I'll have to update this review... But I'm getting way too cynical and have seen enough of these sex level games that it would be naïve of me to expect it to change. If the pattern holds the next 5 episodes will be the new girl starting from handjobs to blowjob and then in episodes 15-20 we'll see boobjob with each girl.

The only good thing about this Game are the Girls. The Textbox is annoying, there are zero Animations and you get so many fake choices they doesnt even matter or you are just forced to pick something ( specially thoose 1 option "choice" picks ) The 2 Stars are only for the Girls and the potential this game has.

Ok lets just get the bad outta the way 1st.. the dialogue needs some IMMEDIATE work done to it.. I can gladly appreciate that the creator might not use english as his/her 1st language and thats fine and acceptable but PLEASE for the sake of what could be an amazing piece of AVN work.. Get a proofreader and or someone with a proper understanding of the english language to go over the script either before or immediately after publication and make those much needed changes.. its often quite painful to read which is a massive shame given the quality of the renders, the storyline and he structure of the scenes which are all very high quality and the making of a great visual novel despite the equally crippling script dialogues..
The characters are some of the best designed and rendered i've come across in VNs and the storyline that they all find themselves in is a dark tale crime drama that has my interest to see what direction they go next... that is when i can understand what should have been said in any given scene.. Please take the chance to improve the dialogue as i HONESTLY think this is a VN worth peoples time and support if that one major flaw can be addressed..

Let's start with general overview
Renders and models: 2/5
Animation :0/5
Story: 2/5
Dialogues: 1/5
Most reviews here mentioned about game mechanics and pseudo choices but since this one's adult game I'll talk about that.
Vaginal sex is the biggest scam here. Made me frustrated but japanese uncensored came to my rescue in the end..
The characters, omfg they'll give you seizure as you progress through the game.
There's a prostitute (escort to be honest) who likes to invite her client at her apartment, initially she seemed likable person irrespective of her profession but she'll be the least of your problems. The most excruciating thing in this game is Scarlet, whenever she opens her mouth sewer starts flowing outa it i don't know if the developer wanted her to be like that or the writing is at guilt. You can't say no to her by the way. A lesbian roommate who is okay for the most part and your neighbor who happens to be the stress reliever (handjob/blowjob at most).
The most focused adult element in here till now is lesbianism/bisexuality. EVERY female characters in the game indicated that. And i don't think it's going to be any different in near future, hell i think it will be more prominent than ever.
I don't mind some scissoring but at least give some hole to stick that 20 feet long dick, what was the purpose of that thing? It's episode 10 man.
In the end, I'm sorry to say this but end this pain as quickly as possible. Because 4 years and nothing to show is one waste of space.

Really the only aspect of this VN that is good are the renders. The models are hot and the images are crisp.
The story feels like it could be interesting, but the very poor English translations ruin it.
Also the mini games and making you randomly click on pointless items to advance the story, are very frustrating.
Additionally when you are given choices - many times the choices lead to a random game over, other times the choices are meaningless and don't have any real impact on the VN (so why have them then).
The VN should also have a built in walk-through IMO.

Basically the VN is mostly a mess and, at least for me, isn't very enjoyable.

Very nice "slow(ish) burner" game with nice graphics (hopefully with further improvements in next updates), just enough of lewd content and interesting storyline.

Although missing textbox transparency and text size/colour controls downgraded my rating from 5* to 4* as it affects game experience quiet a bit just like majority of other games with same UI issue

There are some things here that really tickle my (ahem) fancy. But a lot of it is odd and irritating, and the oddness and irritation is increasing.
It's a VN with choices and minigames. The choices are non-intuitive and either meaningless or lead to game over, so I recommend saving at every one. The minigames are random and feel more like the teacher throwing chalk at you to make sure you're paying attention. Like, "hey, are you paying attention, or are you just clicking to the next erotic scene? Well, here's a spot quiz to check."

This is a noir, MC is a sleek secret agent, surrounded by lesbians, virgins and femmes fatale. Lots of night scenes, fast cars and gunplay. It starts with intriguing mystery and menace. Unfortunately, this ambience dissipates with every update, and the plot is becoming random, just throwing bits of intrigue at the wall to see if they stick. Dialogue also begins nicely hard-boiled, but by about chapter 5 it's switched to full- Dostoevsky, meaning-of-life confessional, and gets really tedious.

The renders, too, are way better in the beginning, very cinematic. Early on, there is a great sequence where the MC goes out on a mission and gets stopped by a cop. To me, it's a near-perfect example of using cinematic style in a VN. Really kinetic, and an excellent use of sound.

The erotic stuff is often weird, but sometimes outstanding. I say weird because the way the MC speaks in the erotic scenes is really out of character to how he speaks everywhere else. It's like, "Vodka martini, shaken, not stirred," followed by "yeah, baby, suck that big cock." Like, the moment Sean Connery takes his pants off he transforms into Mike Myers. And there are many mascara-ruining irrumations, which, I er, don't mind, but just wish there was a little more going on. Seems rather, well, selfish and inconsiderate to the lady.

Where the erotic content is outstanding is the scenes with the MC and his, er, houseguest. These are wonderful (even if they are repeatedly interrupted by random doorbells, gunshots, and people screaming).

One odd thing about the artwork I have to mention... does the MC have mirrors on all the walls of his apartment? It seems every image includes a reflection. Just an odd way to live.

Kind of a rambling review, I know. But my main observation is that this VN is taking its time. Updates are very slow, and quite sparse. I wonder if that's the problem, the reason why the strong start is going downhill. Is there a kind of creative momentum you need for these things, and if you take too long, and do too little, do you lose it? Like I say, a strong start, but then it's as if the dev is like, "huh? I guess I'd better toss out another chapter."

It's a pretty fast play, and there is gold in here, so I do recommend.

I was very optimistic, a game out for years, with 10 chapters and pretty good preview renders.

Well ... I'm disappointed to say the least.

First, for a game that's been out for 4 years, it's actually insane how little content there is. Looking at the image folder, about 1k actual renders.

Next comes the thing I hate the most in VNs, random game over screens.
You are presented with 2 options, a) leads to game over, b) continues the story.
What's the fucking point ? I'll just rollback / load an automatic save.
And while I'm on the topic of choices, when it's not a game over it's the dev telling me to click the other choice first ... Why put a menu with choices if there is no choice to make ?

There is more to say, like the lack of replay gallery or walkthrough, but I won't put more effort in a review than the dev put in his game.

This game gets 2 stars for above average renders.

excellent storyn inentive. and caractere protagonsite are pretty good.
eznders are a particulary good points..excellent

the dev prefer qualty thm quantity and works with regularity.

support him cab be a good choice

Review resume:
Ver. [Ep. 1-10]
Good story.
Some engrish incidents here and there, nothing major.
Could improve many things, but overall this is a great game that I'd recommend to anyone interested.

Renders:
I'm fine with the renders, and it seems that they are getting better and better every update. I'd say it's a 9/10.
This game often uses the same renders over and over throughout a scene, which isn't too bad, but it would be nicer if there were more renders, with more variety and angles.

Main Story:
I actually am really like the general story in this game, better than usual.
You'll still get more time with the girls than your "work", but it's good for the story.
I don't always read everything in some games (especially when it's not about the relationships) as it can get boring, but I enjoyed reading everything on this game.

Girls:
The main 3 girls (Julie, Vicky and Nicole) are really lovely and I like their stories and roles in the game.
I don't really have much interest in the 1 secondary girl (Scarlett), some people might though. But it's honestly a pain in the ass, I hope we can get a Solo ending with Julie, or at least a threesome with Vicky.

Sex:
Medium pace, game begins teasing them a lot, progresses to BJ, and sex is rare for now, but I believe it will only get better from here.
It works for the story, that's what really matters, and this way it's sexier, but it's not a grind too.

Liquids: (I like mentioning this in my reviews)
Honestly not bad, it would be appreciated if blowjobs included more though, even when finishing inside the mouth, would be nice having some liquids in there or slipping on the side of the girl's mouth.
I haven't seem any scene with creampie, I'm hoping they'll include some nice liquids on it.

The crying effect on make-up is REALLY great!
Hard to see this in most games, it looks really nice in the scenes they use it.

Rating:
It's closer to 5 than to 4, but it's not perfect.
I'd give it a 4.6/5 if I could be more specific.
It comes down to small text mistakes, some rare bad posing, etc.
Some more post-sex renders with more liquids would be appreciated, but it's not lacking either.
And Scarlett, I don't want Scarlett.

As many of others have said, it is pretty to look at, but not a lot else.

Positives -

• Nice renders and models

Negatives -

• Poor writing with lots of nonsensical dialogue
• LOTS of gramatical/spelling errors, but no worse than some others
• No choices (there are selection points, but you literally have 1 option so why even make me click it?)

The models and renders are nice, but the "story" and dialogue just make it hard to sit through.
