Unity - Aunt's House [v0.3.5] [AceStudio]

I really tried to get into this game, I guess, it's just not for me.
Unusual viewpoint angle, simple UI, AI icons of the character's in pop-ups, buggy mini-games and Koikatsu-like models with small noses and big forehead are only minor downsides and can vary in taste from one person to another. Through I respect the work put into making the game into esthetic of MiSide.

But what I couldn't bear, what became the biggest turn off for me, is omnipresent feeling of uncanny valley during character interactions. Even if developers are trying to squeeze some soul out of 3D models, like extracting water from the stone, at the end they end up looking robot-like and soulless.
The moment you try to put your step out of the way developers intended you to play, and your immersion is ruined.

Best example is when you only arrive to aunt's house: standing before your door to your room, when you decide to postpone the scripted event and simply roam through the house. The aunt stands on her place. And then you go behind her, she goes into a default pose and starts spinning across her axis towards your direction, like a rumba .

And this approach to game design is everywhere. It isn't captivating, it isn't arousing, it isn't engaging anymore.

My only hope these aspects could be polished in the latter stages of development, but given the whole concept and structure of the episodes it's very unlikely.

This is a great game with a lot of potential. The gameplay is fun, and I feel that actually controlling your character like this makes some of the more "boring" elements of game (travel) a lot more immersive and interesting. I feel like it helps with the pacing too. And as far as pacing goes, this game does well. It's slow enough to keep me eager for the next spicy bit, but not so slow that it causes a loss of interest. I'm really excited to see where this game goes and I hope anyone who is considering giving it a try will give it a download.

1st Person 3d game (God bless you) which feels hella more immersive and OH so good , freedom to move around in the world, cool and well rounded mechanics, nicely written characters and lore, tasteful visuals and artstyle too... You know where it's at, Dev.

You are doing something very cool, i wish you good luck, AceStudio!

Very good game and concept, it's well animated and the few bugs doesn't break the game. There is very few content at the moment so I am waiting for more to update my review. I understand the lack of content since it's new and you need additional time with unity.

this game deserve the game of the year award the girls are animated so well, beautiful japanese artstyle, movement and physics feel natural and expressive
and i have never seen animation like this before, only downside is this is not one handed friendly and cant Save on spicy Scenes
hope this game gets completed and not abandoned
definitely has potential to be a well known game

Absolutly great game, with beautiful and charming characters, great visuals and awesome 3d environment which lets you move around "anywhere" you want.
It doesn't have that much content right now, but I see potential here!

Technically impressive work, it just lacks content.
So far all of the systems in place are generally well polished, and overall the experience isn't terrible, the only rough edges are found with the Control scheme.
Its an extremely promising game, although it lacks a lot of in depth content as of writing this, despite that, its still a great play, and I really look forward to seeing the developer expand upon this, because its really a unique game compared to most.

It also doesn't run like shit unlike a few 3d games I know.

The game is amazing and high effort. One thing I would change is walk speed. If you can add faster text options too, that would be nice.
Can't wait to see more of this project. I suggest others to support them.

It has been a while since I wrote a review because they are a bit time consuming.
But I just have to write this small love letter to support this game here.
Holy shit, i wasnt expecting such a quality game here. Its absolutely great! The girls are interesting and cute/hot. The story is progressing well. Not too slow or fast paced. Thats good.
There is music, there is humor, there are hot girls, not too much clicking or moving to repeat tedious stuff. Thats a huge plus too.
Gallery scene is planned and its nice to see everyone having a schedule to follow during the day. Nice little touch.
Im not too hot on Mia content, but I can imagine thats its important for story.

I will probably support this dev financially later on. Depending on the next update speed.
This game shot right through all my list to the top rankings!

Wishing all the best and luck for this game dear Dev!

This was something else the only downside is that it was really early in the development everything about the game left me wanting more I cannot wait for the game to develop I'm actually sad rn that I played it all in 1 sitting.

Pretty unique game it could definitely go far if it keeps progressing the way it is. I like how characters move outside of cutscenes. It kind of adds to the realism of the game. Graphics are really good, gameplay is a little repetitive especially the date with Mia where I felt you just had to spam drinks, talk, and game for like 15 minutes (shes really good at the game for some reason) but other than that I'm sure a little polish and this will be a banger (literally)

Very promising first person perspective game. the controls are rough (it can be very difficult to trigger an interaction even when looking directly at an item and having it highlighted).

the character models are ok, the dad looks like he's a teenager though which was jarring. character models have nonstop clipping errors, skirts clipping, hair clipping. a couple of times the mom transitioned from cutting veggies to reading in bed, but the knife was still in her hands as she was reading, for a little moment

as far as the writing goes, it's pretty standard fare. I don't say that with disappointment, it's exactly what you expect (frustrated milf, two daughters one sporty and rebellious, the other nerdy and introverted). the coworker stuff was fun but became increasingly annoying because of the unreliability and bugginess of the date minigame. i was basically done with the content anyway so it was fine to quit, but the interface bugged out and i was otherwise stuck.

still, the character models are ok, first person perspective is kind of unique. it's treating the material seriously, so a slow burn, and that's ok. would like to see interface / bug fix improvements, but shows promise.

i played the v0.3.2of the game and it promises a lot, its not perfect but is good game, it has very interesting ideas and the girls are good, more the blonde, of course the game has a little bugs but nothing out of mind, i hope the devs can continue the game

i played a lot games of this kind but this one is one of the best first person games i have ever played.
I hope more games like this will come out. Good grafics and animations! Story is also good. Hoping for many more updates!

Really good work of the developers!

The Mia branch was unexpectedly promising. I like when characters are introduced into the game through interaction. And not just here she is now yours to take. The animations are rough in places. But I think they will improve when they add the main content. I would also add more events in the store. The dating mechanic looks interesting, I think there will be more variations in the next update, for now you can go through all this by clicking. But I did not immediately understand that the "game" allows you to get Mia drunk.

Sarah pleased me with the scene after work. I thought that the scene would then be optional when I saw Sarah in the hall, but she just stood there, apparently something is planned for the future. The mini-games are not boring, I would add more interactivity to them, but for now it is good. It is difficult to find a balance between tediousness and fun in this.

Lisa as a character is not yet revealed. I would like to see more of her as a character and interactivity and some connections in the relationship between her and Mia, depending on the progress of the main character.

Lucy is still intriguing, there is a potential for blackmail here.

And some small things. More interactivity in the house, most of the time I was running around the house clicking on everything around, thinking that something would happen.

P.sI wrote in places through a gog-translator, I think I conveyed the main ideas

Good work! We need more games like this....it isn't perfect but it's good enough!
Being able to move around in 3d space is really important for some games and this one is decent. I would just like to be able to save at any time I want at the bed. That would be my one gripe.

It's not the greatest idea to pre-emptively vote 5 star for something that is fairly bare bone content wise, however, we get a solid taste of what's to come in the very beginning, combined with a couple of days of gameplay, it's enough to get an idea of how this game will turn out (assuming it gets finished).

As of v0.2.1 there's not much to do, it's a demo more than anything currently. I've noticed some quirks and annoyances, such as inconsistent dialogue skips, interacting with people and objects are a bit wonky at times, but it's overall very promising. If the fundamentals are polished early on, and based of the changelogs, it looks to be a priority for the dev, I think this game will be amazing.

If the content of this game reaches the quality of similar titles such as Last Hope, we are all in for a treat.

This one have a unique vibe that makes you want to keep playing despite having complete the version, some escenes makes u want to wait all the time of the world but im sure it will be worth the wait. Keep at it this one is gold at its purest and may be one of those youllbe happy to find

Game has potential. Gives the player the freedom to traverse a anime-styled 3D world, a unique quality in its space, which reminds me of MiSide. Multiple heroines are featured in the game and the story-telling aspect is enjoyable from what I've seen so far. Looking forward to its development.

It's a fine game. It's just that the foundations are... shaky. The animations are primitive, but that's forgivable. The UI of the dialogue, however? Not so forgivable. It would have been more prudent to simplify the UI of dialogue into just text boxes, rather than having them above their heads upon panning the camera toward them. And the speed, I must mention the speed at which dialogue is shown. It ranges from passable to excruciating.
