Is this one actually complete?

So says the prefix... Or what was the question?

 

[Airyfic]

not bad but not particularly good either kinda middle of the road worth it if you just want to kill an hour or two.

Hear mixed thing about this one but probably still worth a shot

Been forever since I played this, but if I remember correctly there's also a stepsister and a tragically underused half-sister. Also if you do get attached to the half-sister despite her lacking content, I'd advise not playing the dev's games after this: Chloe (the half-sister's spinoff game) and Off the Pitch pretty much ruin the character.

All in all, this dev's games are pretty mediocre. This one is pretty much the best of the bunch and he's somehow only gotten worse since then.

I agree about the half sister so much wasted potential. But there is also a hot cousin you can bang. But Mom, the girl next door, and her BFF are the main LI. If I remember correctly that is, because I loaded my last save and realized that it was already at the end. But is this really the same dev that did Chloe? They are completely different types of games aren't they?

Pretty fun, I would have liked more scenes with Chloe

The fig leaf of "role model" while a new variation doesn't lend well to the rewriting necessary to avoid the incest tag. Everything phrased around it just sounds weird. But what can ya do.

So, I went into this game with the intent of avoiding the 'role model'/milf and instead pick and choose from whoever the other LIs were, to see if the game would let me avoid her. So far it kind of does, but it seems the game is intending to give you only two results with her: either never forgive her and keep hating, or get intimate with her. And there doesn't seem to be separate relationship tracking with the other LIs (Carol & Jessica, maybe Ashley?), instead any action with them lowers your score with 'role model'. So apparently this is a mommy issues game, I guess the description should have clued me in. Maybe we need an Oedipal tag to go as a subset to the incest tag.

Like others have said, I really would have preferred to pursue Chloe.

The writing for Ashley isn't consistent with your choice for whether or not you forgive your 'role model'. It seems like the writing for all dialogue with her was written at the same time as the dialogue of you forgiving 'role model', because if you didn't forgive her the MC's attitude flips 180 talking to Ashley. You're all pissy and bitter talking to Nicole and then you start defending her against Ashley instead of agreeing with her. Nicole homewrecked both the MCs and Ashley's families. Their antagonism on the not-forgiving route makes absolutely no sense. (But I guess her tsundere-ness wouldn't hold up if every time she bitched about Nicole the MC agreed, and the dev couldn't think of a way to make her more than just the token tsundere.)

Edit: Forgot to mention there's definitely a scene misplaced in the not-forgiven path, 'role model' thinks about a kiss with the MC that never occurred, while she's in bed with her husband.

This game is part of my collection. I like the story, but I like the models even more, with a preference for Nicole and Jessica. The graphics are good, the animations are good even if there's sometimes lag. It does better than many games of its time.

Haven't played this in a while. Mom's a definite MILF and the story is decent.

Pretty good game. Wish you could change the mc's name though.
