discussion My issues with incest games nowadays:

[Uthuriel]

Eh... tbh its an organization thing, don't like mixing actual save slots with save slots that just serve to take me to a sex scene. Never was one to have several saves in games, however i've started to do so more often due to new games ive been playing, namely BG3, that game is full of missable content.

Never ever have only one save, and save regularly... if you only have one and that gets corrupted you're fucked... :kek:

List of options for mothers seduction:
1) Wine

True as hell lol. And the next phase of wine is the mother son date. And how does it end? Fucking.

 

[catman290]

I like the more imersive storytelling. MC should take some obstacles to achieve his goal and not just put his dick out.
The road to the first fuck is more interesting then what's come after

That's what I think too. The journey could be as good as the destination if not better. The hottest scenes imo are the prefuck ones. After the first fuck there's no real surprises there.

 

[DeadDelta]

So incest games mostly follow these tropes and I'm bored of them:
1) MC is a handsome chap with a horsecock and girls throw themselves at him after some time.
2) The family is fatherless and the MC establishes himself as the man of the house so now every female member must fuck him.
3) There's a doting mother, one nice sister who loves the MC and a mean bitchy sister who's cold/hostile towards him but becomes his bitch later nonetheless.
4) The progress from conversation to teasing to full blown sex is too quick. Often there's no paying any heed to the taboo nature of the relationship.
5) too many love interests. The MC must fuck every female character in sight. Mom's best friend? Fucked. Best friend's mom? Fucked. Sister's friends? Fucked. Sexy nurse/Doctor? Fucked. Female cop? Fucked. Maid? Fucked. The girl at the coffee shop? Fucked. None shall be spared.
6) doll bodies: every girl/woman has a downright supermodel/pornstar body and face. The tits don't droop even when braless! The skin is perfect without any blemishes and what not. No imperfections of any kind.

Is it too much to ask for something new?

Bro, not gonna like, I don't play that many incest games (usually only when it intersects with other interests I have) and the moment you started describing it it hit me that...yeah...I played at least 2-3 games that are exactly that. I imagine that for people who are actively seeking those games it must be really fucking boring.

 

[freddyflint]

Agree with all of this. Especially when the MC has grown up with the family, and as soon as he or the youngest in his house turns 18, he gets possessed by a sex demon (the player) and logic flies out of the window.

This is why I look for games with gradual corruption.

Going for that believable vibe?

 

[Djehuty]

I don't mind some of those tropes. Though some variety is always welcomed. The father being around to cuck him, characters not being archetypes, even an ugly mofo mc could be interesting.

There's two points I really do mind. When there's an excessive amount of characters. And when the progress is too quick or there's no build up or otherwise the characters are ready to partake in incestuous relationships with a simple "hey, we love each other and harm no one, so let's fuck hehe".

 

[MattShizzle]

Too many the MC ends up a literal motherfucker.

I think personally what I like to see in this kind of genre is the emotional intimacy of it all, sometimes I don't mind if the romance is quick to build as long as it's well grounded but if they just throw themselves on the MC left right and center just because, it sort of feels hollow and yeah I get what you mean.

 

[patinhas]

all strict formulaic games like you stated can be appreciated, IMHO, exactly once per player. Once you recognize all the tropes, you require more from the game than those tropes, but usually deve rely on them just because their ability to do more is not there...

 

[Earlybird]

I always do this, I almost get to page 100

That's crazy to me. I start to get annoyed when my save game slots get to be more than 1 page.

As for tropes in incest games, I don't care as you can only write a story so many different ways. You would have to do something radical to be different to the point it doesnt make sense:

Why not have an incest game where the MC is a shape-shifting goblinlord from Circulon VI who only exists in the minds of the woman in the household who are actual homeless, corrupting the minds making them do sexy stuff with each other? Then someone comes along Screams NTR and then everyone who isn't on cuckzone hates you. "This isn't how an incest games is supposed to be, you need to have this repeated trope to be a good game"

 

[00Perra00]

Incest games are one of the more popular geres. Naturally after some time its hard to come up with original ideias.

And even if you do it's a risk. Most developers intentions when starting a project is to gain money. They follow what made money before.

Usually, the games who try to go on different directions are harder to get enough paying people interested. And end up abandoned.

 

[cosicosi89]

yep ... its the same .. surprise HORSE COCK!

Feel like there's a wide enough gulf (and plenty of options to fill it) between what the OP describes and what you've got here. Even small variations on what OP brought up could inject some life into things:

1) MC can be an average or ugly dude with an average or small dick that manages to seduce because of his charm or wit or because he steps up and saves the family farm or what-the-fuck-ever.
2) The father can still be part of the picture but is largely absent, work/friends/(insert reason here) keeping him away from the family and unaware of all the fucking.
3) Swap their personalities (bitchy/overbearing mom, doting/caring sister, bratty sister), or give them more fleshed out personalities.
4) Either slow burn all the relationships or make one the "main" relationship with constant sex and slow burn the rest. Or make MC someone that's always bringing home chicks and his family hears all the super hot fucking and just can't control themselves anymore. Also: address the taboo more often.
5) Limit the # of relationships/love interests or make it clear that some hookups are one-offs.
6) Add simple flaws to women, even just perceived flaws. Broad shoulders, stretch marks, dimples, scars. This I imagine is more of a restriction of whatever engine/rendering software is used so, even if I agree with OP, I can understand why it's not more common.

And so on.

Going for that believable vibe?

As believable as a porn game can be. I just want the devs to actually give a shot at long term storytelling.

 

[ham2323]

I must say that I have also found exceptions to this rule Daughter for dessert, for example. Also another one whose name I don't remember which is now abandoned in which you played a normal man in his 40s with a bit of a belly, and his daughter a cute young woman, redhead. He also thinks that if in the first updates you don't show spicy scenes it will be much more difficult to find someone who supports you, with the risk of being accused of "blue balling".

 

[Earlybird]

Lmao, I agree. That was just a hyperbolic nonsense stream of consciousness.
Repeated tropes are repeated because they are popular and the more you stray from the tropes the more ire you may receive. Take just a regular old average 5" penis, somebody is gonna be upset that they don't have a monster cock.

 

[MattShizzle]

Yeah, blueballing games suck. Boring.

 

[dancingnowhere]

This is an entirely reasonable thing to want, but you have to understand the restrictions that devs are placed under. Like you said, these are porn games first and foremost. You know where else you can find long-term storytelling with slow-burn, believable relationships? Romance novels. When the promised/expected end is a fuckfest incest harem of obedient, understanding, pliant women, believable storytelling will inevitably take a back seat to expedience and "pleasing the audience" by getting into the sex. Devs want money and money means attracting and retaining an audience and the quickest, easiest way to do that is sex.

For sure. I just assume OP would like it known that there is an audience hungry for some variety. Whether there's any money along with that audience is another question entirely because, at the end of the day, money is why these games are made at all.

 

[Augustus]

There is much more variation than what is claimed in the OP. However, there are also a bunch of people who rabidly attack many devs daring to make an incest game deviating from the norm. So if you want more variety in incest games, find devs who make something different (or create something different yourself), and do your best to shut up the haters.
