HTML - The Taboo Family [v0.01a] [SirF21]

There are a lot of comments and reviews that aren't entirely accurate (such as people not knowing how to progress), so I decided to make my own.

[V0.01a] - The concept is fun and I see the potential. I think some quality of life changes would do a lot of good. For example, going into the kitchen to access your inventory, and making that the only way to progress. If this were adjusted to appear on the UI Bar along with a quest tab, I'd see it as a major improvement.

Something to note is how grindy the game currently is. You have to repeat the same event(s) over and over again to progress to the next one, which is something I generally dislike, but if that's your cup of tea then this may be the perfect game for you.

Overall, it's not bad, especially for a first release, but some might feel there's a lack of content or feel the game is too grindy to access the content already there.

Why to upload a game which have nothing what definite a game? The "game" have no content. And I mean it, there is nothing here. No scenes, no interaction, no tasks, quests, events... all you can do is go on a expedition and get food and water. But you dont need it cuz you dont lose hunger or anything.

Its just not worth.

It's a great start, yes - there's almost no content yet, but I'm happy with the clear definition of what content to receive and the simplicity of the gameplay. There are a couple of bugs, but that's okay and they're not critical. I really hope that the author will not abandon the game, it is lovely

tl;dr: Writing is good, but there's nothing here. Report back later.

The most promising thing about this game is the dev's writing. It's all written pretty well, which is huge in an environment saturated with quick works of barely legible slop. The tone and environment within the game also is consistent, harboring a somber, suspenseful mood fitting of the world. The setting itself isn't super original, as there are a few games released here recently that I can see being inspirations. It's not a blatant copy of them, so that's a good thing.

Besides that, there's nothing really to do. Download it if you want to take a look, but don't expect to stay long. There's barely any scenes to actually work with, and it isn't clear where to find them. To actually get most of the scenes, you have to grind a lot. If you're really curious, just figure out how to change Sugarcube variables and do it that way.

The game itself is very clunky, making this feel like a very early WIP. There's a system of getting supplies, but it isn't clear at all what the stats do to change that. Also getting these supplies is largely pointless as they're not going down at all unless you eat them, so that whole part of the game can be ignored.

To properly progress, your character needs to watch porn on his phone before he can sexually harass his sister or girlfriend. Repeat that many times, do the next scene you unlock, etc. Sure, it's a start, but there's not much entertaining here. Navigating the menus to actually get to the porn is a bit frustrating as well.

I agree with the other review that this has been posted way too early. Maybe it'd be good if it had x5 the content. I find releases like these very rarely continue much farther. Realistically this would take me an evening's worth of work, although the writing might take longer. I'll leave the opinion of the dev's Patreon and the cheats hiding behind it up to you.

I will take this review down if there's an update, and I do hope the dev continues.

Forces unnecessary clicking. Unnecessarily, lust can only be "gained" by watching porn on a phone. literally just a few pictures. "Games" should not be released in such a state. No mechanics of interaction with everyone except the sister and the girl. I hope that in the next version there will be something to play because now it is very weak and believe me I do not have high expectations.

The game is small right now, but I really like the idea. The NTR concept is awesome. I would wish the phone was more easily accessible instead of having to go to the kitchen to open it as you may need it for lust. Overall though great game and can't wait for more.
