    version 0.10

    uff, where should i even begin here... this game is a huge mess.

    the story telling is easily told: you are a math mentor helping out students in exchange for money. after some time you return back home where ya mom and two sisters await ya (we know that stuff already from other games :p)... and that's it actually. the game changes into a sandbox game pretty fast and let's you interact with the ingame girls whenever you feel like it. every girl has a different (sort of) problem and you have to try to help 'em if you want to get in their pants.

    gameplay: since it's a sandbox game you can choose where to go and when. you have a 24 hour timer and every action consumes one hour. at 0 am the protagonist has needs to sleep. you can go to rooms in your house (that aren't lettered at all... so you have to guess what's behind said rooms) and you have a town map with locations to choose from. after progressing a bit with some girls you can also begin to work at the university as a math teacher, giving you some money to waste. to get closer to the girls you have two stats you should keep an eye on: friendship and love. especially last one should be quite high to get some lewd stuff. if you are stuck at progressing further with a girl (it often needs a scripted event) you can read some tips on ya mobile phone (which is a plus). however, to increase these stats you have to interact with those girls A LOT OF TIMES (which is a huge minus). the grind in the game is really annoying. often you have to replay old events to get some points for those two stats, making the game really boring and dull. that's it actually. the player himself doesn't have any stats. all you do is getting money and increase their girl's stats.

    story writing and character development: one of the major weaknesses of the game... (not the worst game mind ya, but it lacks a lot of quality nonetheless). the conversations between characters is boring and without a fan fix i guess it would be even worse with all the grammar mistakes. so many character progressions are implausible (especially the scene with ya older sister right at the beginning of the game)... thanks to really boring conversations and credible lacking events with those girls, the character immersion is simply not existent. at the end you don't really start to like (or hate) any persons ingame, you just see 'em as an array of pixels. the worst thing however are those three full stops => ...
    the developer seems to use them in almost every fucking sentence, forcing ya to click after every god damn point to proceed further. it's brutally annoying, 'cause a sentence that you could have easily read within a second takes more than 3 seconds, 'cause you have to click for the points to show up before you can finally make the last click for the next sentence to appear. it even takes some time to make those frigging points apeear on ya screen. so even with full text speed it will take seconds to read on... stupid full points >.>.

    graphic, animation and sound:
    soundwise you won't get much... if you decide to sleep you can hear ya protagonist snore, that's it. you might as well just play it wiith ya audio turned off.
    the graphic isn't great, but i've seen worse. the models look a bit outdated and the image quality is "corny". yet the girls still look, mostly, cute. the game offers animation during sex scenes, however they look rough and incomplete. some more frames definitely wouldn't hurt.

    lewd stuff: the backbone of any porn game. well, the game doesn't shine in that section, but it doesn't suck either. the corny graphic look and rough animations are a bit of a downer. you also have to grind a lot to get to some lewd stuff which is also annoying, even more so, 'cause it gets repetitive pretty fast. but due to the outdated yet still cute looking models you wanna see some action with 'em. and those scenes aren't all too baaaad. but don't expect some really pervy stuff, this game is pretty vanilla when it comes to sex 'n stuff.

    bugs: none, thanks to the fan made fix. i really should deduct another star -.-...bug fixing and proof reading should be done by the game creator in the first place.

    overall: i can't really recommend the game. it's not worth it if you wanna have some quick sex scenes, it's also not worth playing if you search for some good story writing. heck, even the sex scenes aren't all too qualitative, therefore 2 stars.

    Good game. Could use some cleaning up with the spelling and grammar. Everything else is pretty great though. I honestly didn't expect to be as impressed as I was. The animated scenes are well done and most all of the characters look pretty good. Definitely watching for updates.

    This game is pretty hot. The younger sister model is one of the most beatiful ones ive seen in the games ive played. The game is a sandbox which require a little bit of grind but it does not get to the point where it is annoying like BB. Also the mom´s route seems a little bit unrealistic and quickly get rid of the taboo aspect of incest that IMO makes it hot in the first place. I would have given this game 4 stars but since its very likely that the dev is gonna abandon this game, im gonna go with 3.

    Author had good base to start with but with time we can see that with every update he widens the number of characters. It would be great if he focused on relations in family. Simple interactions, not perverted but like a close family. If those relations they have were more natural than they are now, look like forced bonding, something which shlould not happen happend etc. Then there are characters which does not have any role yet, some are good and others are bad. Plotwise it is poor example of eroge.
    Graphicaly it is above average.
    There are some good scenes, it would be great if gamer could open his noto, phone or camera to see those scenes again. Couse all of the greatest scenes are one time thing.
    Some grinding there is, thats just artificially prolonging gameplay. Poor choice in my taste.
    I would like for our main character to first focus his efforts on family then on other additional characters.

    In this game is everything and nothing at the same time

    There's lot of content and scenes, but it's pretty grindy to get to some of them. Also some of them are one-offs which is pretty disappointing, since those typically are the best scenes.

    The plot is pretty standard and generic; so much so that it almost seems like they shouldn't have bothered at all, and the characters are pretty boring and don't have a lot going for them (except Mia and Jacqueline, who are both waifu-tier and the only ones that aren't dykes so far).

    The models are pretty decent and the animations are good enough, though far from spectacular.

    On the plus side there's an ingame walkthrough of sorts, which is nice.

    This game is really great!

    Looking at version 0.1.0 I wasn't expecting much content but in fact there was enough for a couple of hours of gameplay. It took a few minutes to get into the gameplay (figuring out what to do) but from there it went really smooth.
    The story itself is pretty good and I kinda like the caring relationship between the characters. The renders are good (tho could or should still be improved) and the animated scenes are fun to watch.
    I encountered a bug with a missing scene, but that was easily fixed by uncommenting a few lines an a .rpy file (there is a post in the main thread that explains what to do). Other then that it was very much fun playing this and I'm looking forward to see the next update.

    Totally recommend everyone try this out!

    The following review is based off my personal experience with playing this Game/Visual Novel... I try to be as brutally honest and detailed as I can, and these are my own opinions and thoughts, from one or more play throughs... The version this review is based on is v0.1.0...


    I played this game/VN before, several months back, and there has been a few additional things added since then... Down side is that this game is another Family Sex theme...

    The visuals of the characters are spot on, and I love the fact that they all look like normal people with normal body proportions... I'm especially in love with the mother and little sisters face models... For me, they are the two most attractive face models I've seen in any erotic/adult themed game/VN I've played up to this point... The backdrops are also nice, although a few are ones I've seen lots of times in other VN/games...

    The script is pretty good, as I've seen barely any spelling/grammar errors... The plot is a simple one, the male protagonist lives with his mother and 2 sisters, and becomes a professor at the local university, where one of his sisters attends college, and his mother works there in the library... He then lives his life while interacting with other characters... Now, even though this game is more of a grind type game, without tons of story to it, there is a small amount of story now and then... It revolves around him falling in love and somewhat seducing most women he runs in to, yes, this includes his family... It's more like a love based romance with his family, where as with others it seems more lust based...

    The story elements focus more around his family, and things going on in their lives, that the protagonist feels he must help with or protect his family from... The whole fact he is very protective and loves his family is a big bonus in my book... And even though this game does have a bit of grind to it, using the cell phone you can see what quest steps need to be accomplished, with some of the characters... This helps with moving through content a bit easier, even though there is still some grind... The CTRL key will become your friend to skip through content you've seen already... There are 2 stats to be concerned with for each character, deviance and not sure it the other one is Love or Likeability... In either case, you can also see a daily schedule for some of the characters, so you know where they tend to be throughout the day... Making money is something you can do as well, and it will be needed here and there, but it's not a big deal to skip work now and then... There is a walkthrough, but it really isn't needed, especially with the quest system in place...

    Overall, even though this is a grind based Seduction/Romance/Love type game, I actually enjoyed my play through, both this time and previously... It does have some story elements now and then, which was nice, even though it's not a huge amount... This game/VN is still in the process of development, so you will get to a point where you hit a content wall... And you do run into a few bugs now and then (which I selected ignore), so I recommend highly, that you not use previous save games, as the bugs are more prevalent with older version saves (the bugs with using older saves are not always ignorable as the game will kick to the main menu sometimes)... But I look forward to seeing what additional stuff we get to experience in the future... I'll definitely try this one again a bit further into it's development...

    This game has a good story and nice graphics too

    There are many stages, lot of action and you could play for somes hours not a short time game.

    Looking hopeful for a great update in the future. I believe one of the best games here in the forum.

    I would recommend this game to anyone that enjoyed dreams of desire or big brother. It has all the workings of a good game especially with regards to the character design. While the story has some weak parts the CGs in most Sean’s are so good that this is definitely worth the time. Though it is not at the level of either Bb or Dod I would definitely say that it can get terre with some time and effort.
    My only regret is that you can’t do much yet with other characters outside your family.

    Who doesn't love Incest genre ? -everybody love it-
    But who does love poorly made game ? -no one-

    Scene by scene is okay, but definitely need improve. UI & Gameplay, like any other amateur are poorly design. Story plot ... this incest game, ffs, plot always the same between another. So good & bad equally, 3 Stars the best review I can give.

    well i just finished this game and i gotta say it's pretty good , after DMD and Dreams of desire , this game is my third choice , it looks very good , the story is a little shaky at first but it finds it's rhythm very fast , the relationship development between characters is very genuine , the MC is not in any way a creep and he really loves his family and isn't trying to use them for his lust which makes him likable which again makes the development of their affection very real . . .

    in terms of story and how the characters slowly and believably fall for each other (which is the most important part of these games for me) this game is excellent it's almost as good as DMD

    i really enjoyed this game and you should try it too . . .
    sorry for my bad English . . .

    Very good play although it tends to be rather linear. For a 0.6 there isn't as much as some other similarly themed VNs and the 3d models have all been used before in other games but renders are very good, writing is more than adequate and in terms of 'boner' factor I rate it 4.5/5. Story development is slow re: mom and sisters which is a good thing because corrupting your own womenfolk cannot be that easy although they all seem from the 0.6 version I played to be quite interested in the taboo factor. Mom is lonely, sisters are curious and ...voila, we have one of the better VNs to fap to. As for sex scenes this far one can get them from the 'other' characters and they are very well done too with developing storylines that makes me want to come back to it again. I have a weakness for the mom and elder sister because they really look the part and the dev has put some very sexy clothes and written script for them. Play once and I think you will want to play again.

    This game is very well though out has with a family going through loss and loneliness, story line fits as the player try to healing his family, trying to build a relationship with his mom and sisters. You get engage right away easy to follow and play.
