VN - Ren'Py - Halfway House [Ep.10 - Bonus 7-8] [Az]

Definitely one of the best VNs out there. Let's put it like this, if you are just a greedy horny person who wants to fap at a lot of materials, then let me tell you that this is not for you. This game is definitely for those who want some compelling story and good character development and relationship with characters (not BS).

The game takes time to develop, especially with the characters because of the romantic relationship that you can form with your lover (which I like the most personally). I am a hopeless romantic person, so the fact that Az the developer of the game incorporated romance (even though it's not in the tags), made me buy this game. Seriously, there's a lot of devs there guys who just aim for more fap materials rather than a good character development and plot. Well, this dev deserves an award. This game's great and I'm thankful that this has been made.

Worth your time. Early review but I won't delay the suspense because this game will most likely tick all the boxes of a typical top game on this site. What will make this one of the best eventually is how it focuses on it characters.

Pros
Sex(ish) scenes
Dialogue
Graphics
Actual threat of clear and present danger
No point and click
Angles

Cons
All female models besides the milf are the same (Which for me is fine because Im only here for the Milf)
Too much teasing
MC is a moron

Review after Ep.5

Started this game with very low expectations and i was pleasantly surprised. Sure the idea of a young guy moving in with a milf and 2 young women is not very original, but it's not incest so it makes it kinda believable.

Pros
I like all the characters surprisingly (more than MC who seems kind of a dick)
Nice renders
Interesting storyline

Cons
So far there no love route for Ashley which means she's only there for sex.
The whole attack/rape scene and the follow up seemed kinda childish.
You need a walkthrough to find out which choices lead to maximum results and what scenes they unlock.

Overall, even though it's not the best game out there and there's not a lot of content yet, it definitely deserves your time.

One of my favorites since the story goes not the usual way to cover its true nature. This time, there's probably a cool message behind, giving PINS and JDs hope for a second chance to get their life together (gg). Models in this VN are quite unique and more or less MC friendly at the beginning. Soundtracks and FX are on point! There are branching choices to make depending on your bias. English dialogs were fun to read at times. Some parts just crossed the borderline up to a point where roomie Luis seemed more stable than the yappy MC :/ Anyway! Keep it up guys

Just found this game today, and something told me to give it a try. It has some of the best graphics, story telling out there. Can't wait for the next update, the humor just had me cracking up. How the developer tells the story and the interaction between characters is outstanding, and gets you hooked into the story.

Great art, good writing, and fun to read. There is a lot to read, so if you hate reading then this won't be your thing.
The characters are diverse: a milf, a girl, a vamp, and a bunch of other women whom we haven't seen naked yet. The story is not too far-fetched, and I liked the humor. Overall, it's a great game, and well worth your time (or maybe even a patreon).

it is really good i enjoyed it very much can't remember the last vn that i totally wanted to become a patreon but i'm to poor for that so i will contribute through a vote for the game 5 star awesomeness can't wait for the next update

This game is very good but not very promising as the dev already stated that there will be only one route and the other girls are only here for optional sex scenes.
Luckily the main heroine is a really nice character, but in the end, it still feel that there is not much choices.
We'll see in the futur how everything will play, but I can't help feeling disappointed by this decision.

I found this game at the Episode 4 point, and I am totally hooked. I mean, I absolutely love this game. It is not perfect, but it is fun and sexy AF.
The premise is a nice change of pace, so I am liking it. The story flows well, and while a bit hard to believe I find it fun and exciting as well. The writing is good, but there are some english mistakes that honestly aren't probably all that bad. Some tense errors, and a few mistakes like "quite" when clearly the word should have been "quiet". But not once have those sorts of errors detracted from my enjoyment.
The women are extremely well done. Their back stories are interesting and different. For the most part, the back stories fit how the girls behave. All three of them are surface of the sun hot!
I'm not entirely sure I understand the point system, but that hasn't stopped me from having a ton of fun either.
I very much hope the author continues this game....I am totally hooked and really want to see where he takes this very well done VN.
Top notch!

Excellent renders , well written characters which fell actually quite real. Intresting setting as well, something different comparing it to every incest game. Great dialouges , probably the first time i didn't skip a single conversation. Would highly recommend.

Lovely ladies with diverse and interesting personalities each, the female char body proportion is nice, with more than enough sexy outfit for the ladies. and to top it all the overarching story is quite nice and story progression does not feel like it is progressing too fast, what more do you want?

Really well made,the interactions are believable and the few erotic scenes are very enticing.One of the few games where I don't skip the dialogue,and one of the main characters remind me of Jack(really liked her) from the Mass Effect Trilogy.

Looking forward to this one. The art is fantastic, really well done. It looks very realistic and the girls look hot. The story is good and even funny at times. All the characters seem to have a legitimate personality and the conversations are done in a way that feels realistic (people teasing each other like siblings and what not). Can't really say I have any complaints. Can't wait for more updates!

I don't really contribute much to this forum. I tend to lurk and prefer to keep my opinions to myself.

But when I do decide to review something, it'll be because I have something that needs to be said.

I really really really like this game.

I came looking for a good fap because the girls looked hot - dem big titties with nice nips. Yes please!

I was going to skip through to the dialogue and get to the fappin'. But what I got instead was a really good (but short) experience. I connected with the characters. I read the dialogue. I got engaged.

And even days after I've played, I'm still thinking about this game. I'm hooked and I want more.

A quick read-through of the previous reviews will give you a general idea about why you should check this game out. But I'd like to talk about the one character not many people seem to be talking about: Officer Monroe.

Let's get this straight - I'm not gay. I like pussy and big tits. But the dev, in a stroke of absolute brilliance, allowed me to be nice to the big guy. It's not much but it added something that I find hard to put to words to the game.

Officer Monroe reminded me of someone in my life who is no longer with us. But his character and the way he talks and the way he makes me laugh, it got me invested. And now I care about the characters and the choices I make. I still want to bone the girls but now I feel like I am the MC.

Maybe you get where I'm coming from. And maybe you think I'm talking out of my ass. But either way, I think Officer Monroe rocks. And I'd love to see more scenes where I get to hang out with the big guy.

Just not when I'm getting it on with one of the girls. Please no. That's just creepy and weird.

Thanks Good Game. Typical VN with a choices that conclude towards an affection / corruption system these normally check if some events can happen. But this game is made with lots of thoughts about likeable characters ofc it has a few silly events or the detective/po model is well known, the regular shower scenes.. but it plays so well and straightforward teases constantly and well the renders are really nice to make everything work together not just the hot models even the surroundings and so are ok enough to make it feel not too empty or laughable.
Storywise it is interesting enough to follow through but even after 4 episodes it still is taking off a slow start to introduce everything so i'd be cool with 20 more ^^.
The way the protagonist talks probably put some off to make him feel like you'd play one which lessens the immersion a bit and make the gamer feel more like a viewer.
It doesn't have animations but the renders are really good. Soundwise no voices or stuff and i put off the music since it felt to get boring quickly and listened to sth else. Hm also his model seems too muscular. Oh and Special Kudos that the cum aesthetics are really great.
Dialogues try to tick the things one may expect you want out of a fantasy for that model so it provides escpecially ashleys talk was quite exciting so far.
Have a nice day looking forward for more

It's one of the best I've ever played, I loved how Sammantha looks like Lisa Ann, great renders, good models. I couldn't find any bug in game, but, even if the game told me I've unlocked some scenes. I couldn't see the in the scenes menu.
Greatings from Chile. Keep it up.

This is a story. There are diverse and well-formed characters, a plot, many events, etc. It also has some clear choices to make. The consequences of these choices are not clear. There is hardly any sex in the first four chapters and the MC loses his confrontations so don't expect to be superman. However, I find this story rewarding: a hot-tempered loser getting a second chance.

This is a true gem of an adult VN. A proper Adult Visual Novel - with an emphasis on "Novel".

Of the myriads of adult VNs I have played, the number of VNs that had a "true" story is so small that I can count them by hand. But this game takes it one level further, you could probably copy its script to make a Television Series out of it, and get away with it as being a believable and at the same time enjoyable show. What I find most remarkable, is that, of all the VNs that I have played with "good" story, this one's storyline seems the least contrived. The story doesn't seem to just serve the purpose of getting you to some hot scenes. They come almost naturally.

Now let's talk about the characters... Man, this dev can create characters!!! I don't know if the characters are inspired by real-life people because they seem very alive and the dev seems to know them well enough to write about them. Yeah, I feel like these characters go far beyond what one might cook up if they didn't know how to think like another person, which is essential for a writer. All of the three girls you see on the banner are like real people, with real personalities. (Actually, I feel like I have a crush on one of them ).

And the MC also is a believable guy - not a creep, not a saint - just a regular guy with anger issues. It's amazing that for once, you can actually relate to the MC of an adult game (well, unless you really are a grade-A pervert like the MCs of most other games).

Humor - this game doesn't try to impose tons of unnecessary sexual jokes on you, some of you might find that like a breath of fresh air from the cheesy jokes in adult games. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have humor - it has lots of it, the humor is a bit more mature in this game - just enough to be believable and enjoyable at the same time.

Overall, I think it's an awesome VN, yup, I excluded the "adult" part - that's just its genre. You want an adult/porn game that just happens to be a Visual "Novel", go play other games. If you want a Visual Novel that reads like a book but happens to have an adult theme, play this game.

The Story is quite great with its mature and funny mix into it. I hope it gets more darker in theme. I though hope it get more funding with partreon. I would be intrested if they add more character though not too much to over saturate the game. In the end, This is a great game with a a unique story as well.

Played through CH4. I really like what the dev has done with this game/story. The execution is great and the story is differentiated from many out there. It will be interesting to see how the MC's character develops and how he interacts with the new people in his life. All of the gals are attractive in very different ways, and there is a bit of something for everyone. Looking forward to following this one as it goes!
