This was definitely a nice demo that leaves you hungry for more. On top of that, the story introduction made you forget that there is not much going on yet in the nudity department, and that I saw more naked guys than gals. The twin is very nice, but of course that is helped by the notion that I'm a sucker for redheads, braids and ponytails.

Really nice start...
Enough content for it being a real introduction to the story, nice renders and good characters.
Will follow this.

The Demo was to wet your appetites for more to come. Life with Mary is not the only game we've done other than this. We are working on Five different games right now with Ptolemy @lifewithmary456 and now Viitgames
So...Mac version? All you've got to do is check "Macintosh x86_64" when building the distribution.

This VN looks great so far. I really enjoy the snarky banter between the two. They feel like real people who have a close bond, which you don't see often in visual novels. You've also added moments where we see some vulnerability; the characters switch from their usual witty replies to show that they care for each other.

I'm very impressed by this Demo and look forward to future updates. Although the name of the story is a little confusing as we are reading from the brother's perspective. I'm sure that's already been voiced here, but there we are.

I can't even remember the last time I posted on F95, but I just have to say that this game has made me want to comment.

My hats off, to everyone that is involved with this Visual Novel. I know this is a collaboration effort from some great dev's and I sincerely hope this game thrives. It is nice to see a Female protag that isn't a ditzy idiot. The Haley character feels like someone I know when I read the dialogue, and THAT familiarity takes the immersion to the next level. There isn't much content yet, but I am hopeful for great things to come, considering who is working on this VN.

Excellent job!

One of very few games when you don't feel like your abusing a demented girl. It's not only one of those rare games when the girl is pretty smart but i'd say the game is unique, never seen any female character that funny in any other game. Most of the people are very polite with you and then bitch about you behind your back. Here we have an interesting character who bust MC's balls all the time, but really cares about him. And i don't mean "wow how huge is your dick" kind of care.

Ptolemy has already proved he knows how to write a great story, but i'm really impressed by this one. It seems he has found a great Muse.

The renders are quite nice too. The girl is cute and sexy (redhead, braid and and freckles, excellent choice). The other female characters are hot too, looking forward to discover more about their story.... and their (steamy hot) future. I do enjoy a good interesting story (like many others in here) but i want to see some hot action too. ;)

I really hope the game will have the attention and the support it deserves. I can't wait to play the next game release.

Finally played this demo after downloading it last week. OUTSTANDING! The initial set-up for why they are sharing an apartment is... odd? But it's not dumb. Give me odd over dumb every time :). And you forget about it immediately, so it doesn't matter in the end. I love the authentic ball-busting of the siblings. The dialogue about dinner and ordering pizza, the comments and reaction if you choose to give her all the credit at work, even the "caught jerking" scene is just... I dunno... FUN! The writers make Haley vibrant, and the renders are superb (with one exception in my opinion--the "winking" face didn't work, especially when she sits there with one eye closed through multiple dialogues. If it had been a one-off render for one line, then back to a normal face, I probably wouldn't have noticed).

Most impressive to me is, somehow, the writers figured out how to create a sister character who walks into the bathroom and makes a joke about her brother's penis, catches him watching porn and insists on wanting to know what kind of porn he likes, all while wearing sexy underwear*, and jokes with her brother about her boyfriend's faux-alpha sex-god act while commenting that she's been perfectly fine satisfying herself since she was 13, and it's just all... believable. That's hard to do!

Congrats to all involved in this project! I'll be following it closely and you've got a new Patron.

*Maybe this render should be added to the sample images in the OP!

Great comment! Haley so far is a strong, carefree, sassy, witty, confident sister. Her character traits will make it all that more enjoyable when the sexual tension increases between her and the brother.

I don't know if I should respond to you or @Charolastra. While playing through the demo I noticed it was really resource intensive. I'm guessing it was because of the render quality ( they all look really good ), but a couple of times the game froze up on me while scrolling back to view different dialog after a decision was made.
I actually had this issue too a couple of times throughout, and 99% of the time I have zero issues of any kind with any game and VN
Does the slowdown appear as you progress through the game? Or is it random?
It seemed random at least, I only played through the demo once, I'd need to play it again to see if the slowdown occurs again and around the same scenes as before, if I can recall them at any rate, haha.
But what I do recall is that it happened when I tried to scroll backwards in a scene to choose a different option, and everything froze for maybe 3-5 seconds, and then rapidly scrolled backward, that happened only once, closer to the end I think. Small slowdowns did occur here and there, but those were like split second at length each, and only a few of those happened.
If you have really good PC's like these guys have, you don't notice it because of the abundance of memory and resources.
I just wanted to comment that I also experienced this. At one point I right-clicked to see if rollback was disabled, but nothing happened, and it took a few seconds before all of a sudden it rolled back several frames and then went to the menu. I've never experienced this with any Ren'Py game ever, so it was odd.

I'm running an i7 @4GHz with 16GB RAM, so while it's not a high-end rendering gig, it's not exactly a potato. It's just something I've never seen before in a Ren'Py games so worth noting.

I'm quite certain that you'll like it, I know I did, very much so. The sister is gorgeous, and not only is she a redhead, but that braid of hers..*drools*, haha ;P
Plus this is one of the very few VNs out there where the ebony girl does NOT have the stereotypical body figure, she's well proportioned and natural looking. And also the black guy is actually a cool, decent dude, and not the usual "nice girl you have, give me 5 minutes and she's gonna be on my dick" kind of guy, but that of course is right now, who knows how it turns out to be in later updates, haha.
Not much to say story wise, this demo was just an introduction to some of the characters, but it does have potential, that's for sure.
All in all, this indeed was a great demo, I'm already a fan and will definitely keep an eye on this one, both eyes :)

I'm pretty sure Victor is gay.
At least that's the impression I got when talking about the game with the creators.
So, I don't think you have to worry about him "stealing" Haley.
