Download Multi- Mod

Features:
Improved aesthetics with animated mod menus/screens, all fully customizable to tailor your personal experience.
Too many story branches got you down ’cause you can’t remember which of your saves is which? I gotcha covered. Includes the Original SanchoMod save description feature. Often imitated (including the use of my GUI buttons) the SanchoSave is more intelligent and efficient, saving you keystrokes as it autoloads the save slot descriptions and it also allows you to completely escape the process of saving if you wish (I’ve personally not seen this feature with other imitations). Feature can be toggled on/off anytime as desired.
Adds multiple exhaustive stats screens always accessible via the MiniMenu or Options menu. Resizable, toggle-enabled, various formats, and more.
Adds in-game walkthrough (ChoiceGuide) noting all variable changes and highlighting important choices. Can be toggled on/off at anytime, play as YOU want to play. You are not forced to view spoilers if you do not wish.
Multiple opacity and text sizing options to customize your experience including dialogue boxes, text and fonts, QuickMenu sizing and format versions, and more. All can be toggled on/off as desired, again allowing you even more control to tailor your experience.
Adds a custom fully unlocked scene gallery (SanchoGallery) that runs completely independent.
Adds professionally coded custom cheats (SanchoCheats) if applicable (varies from port to port).
Adds the ability to view multiple scenes (SanchoSplits) if menu choice has a scene/route split.
Adds toggled custom iPatch
Too many new features to list.

“Submenu” Choice has additional subset of choices that are otherwise unseen if not selected.

SPOILER: Mod Mixing
Don’t mix mods (they are not compatible, there’s no way around that as they modify some quantity of the same OEM scripts)
Never mix mods unless they explicitly say they are compatible.
Always assume that they are not compatible until stated or proven otherwise.
Think of it like this, GMC and Ford both make pickups. Just because they are both pickups doesn’t mean you can take the engine from one and a transmission from the other and slap them together without some serious alternate modification and a big-ass sledge hammer. Make sense?

Regards.

Installation:

SPOILER
PC: Extract contents to the “game” folder found inside the title’s main folder, overwrite as prompted. Do only these steps, nothing else is required.

Directory (folder) structure when installed correctly:
Code:
(ThisTitleName) folder/
├── game/
│ ├── SanchoMod/
│ └── (support files)
├── lib/
├── renpy/
└── (ThisTitleName).exe
SaveFixer:
(Using SanchoModded saves in an unmodded game)

SPOILER
As with any mod, once you create a save file with them installed and later play the game without the mod installed your saves are borked. I’ve got your back. If you uninstall SanchoMod and later play the same or updated version of the VN un-modded I can make sure that your SanchoMod save files are unbroken. Simply download the following, extract the file, and place it inside the title’s “game” folder. It’s an extremely small file that only insures that the Python calls and variables introduced by SanchoMod won’t interfere when playing those modded saves with an unmodded game (pretty cool, right?)

  1. Can smbd explain what a fuck in all games are Landlords and Landladies?? Is it some sort of rental relatıonshıps: And they acting not like “landladies” but like mothers and fathers. It’s so annoyıng and stupid….is’nt it?

    1. in some places you can go to jail if there is incest in games, so the base game is like that. Download the Incest Patch and that should fix your problem

  2. Nice renders and models, anims are ok but the lack of intersting scenes make it irrelevant,
    the story could be nice mixing mc dark side, mysteries and thriller but the pace of all this is not mastered with a lot of boring parts , switching between characters like a rollercoaster.
    The MC switch of personnality hit a high cringe lvl, having moral dilema and few lines later turning into a pervert (ok depend on choices but still) and we end with a lot of boring teasing scenes and when something can happen there is always a switch of personnalities.
    So it can be interesting in like 20 updates.

  3. Damn, the project is one disappointment drawn beautifully, but there are no sex scenes in fact, or they are very curtailed and there are few of them! 1-2 maximum is bret!

  4. MC is terribly written as a passive and terrible character, an even worst father. Not sure why all these women are attracted to him. He is pretty much braindead who’s main response is “Uh”. Flashback to his cop days shows him as a terrible one who’s a drug addict and alcoholic banging prostitutes but somehow gets promoted to a Detective? With all that, renders and models were gorgeous especially if you like comically large breasts – this is supposed to take place in Japan but has hollywood boobs everywhere. With all that, i did enjoy the MC highschool romance and some of the new cop mystery is interesting.

  5. At starting i thought mc’s little sister would be his daughter with his mom in secret, i mean like his mother coming from party drunk and found herself in his room also mc would be dreaming about his lost love and that’s where all things happen.
    I think Amber his sister is madly in love with him but I got vibe like she fucking slut in the street.
    “You know what Mc? Nah, screw it. Sometimes you act like you have never been laid in your life ”
    The fuck mean by that – it means she is coming from some whore house??.

    WHAT is the Fucking purpose of this wreck game man.
    Tags –
    incest- where??,
    harem- i didn’t get any options which could tell me this IS Harem game,
    I can get some scenes with the help of sanchomod or something, thanks for that.

    Add some fucking feeling man in the game at least .
    And grow some backbone for mc to punch the shit out of his douche father.
    The fuck is moral values??
    He can take drugs, Fucks sluts and run away from his family where the hell is morel in this shit.

    But let’s see how the heck this Harem in name game comes in future,
    I will give new season (2) a try .

  6. MC is a wreck. And most of the people around him are having troubles. So get ready for a lot of drama and a dark story.
    Girls look nice and animation (not much so far) are good.
    Choices can have a lasting impact even if they seam harmless.
    Some dialogues are not consistent with choices made by player…MC looses contact with 1 girl and claims it’s because he was harsh with her by sms, even if player took the nice approach.
    Some story points are very confusing like the main plot. Girlfriend disappears, most of the dialogues just mention her disappearing without any details so far….but at some point MC says that she rejected him.
    If dev does not get lost in all the paths he created, this might end up being pretty good game.

  7. Pretty good story and great visuals. Sometimes the MC says some stupid weak things but overall I get to where I want to go with the characters I am interacting with.

  8. Whats the purpose of this game?? whats the end goal of the MC. At this point this game is to disconnected and going no where. It also doesnt help that barely any of the characters are likeable (MC included). This Family is very weird (Indeed hard to love) and the MC is a total Beta. A damn shame for those good graphics but from any high budget game ive played this has to be the worst.

  9. This is nothing new , played it from the start and nothing has changed except he split the game in two parts , and the saves won’t transfer to part 2.

    1. couldnt agree more. the graphics are nice but thez are wasted on a boring story and family full of nutjobs

  10. The dialogue feels like it was written by someone who’s never spoken to another person. The game constantly shifts between the present moment, flashbacks, memories, hallucinations etc. The game mechanics, specifically for the phonecalls, are terrible. The protagonist’s standard answer to any question is “…uh…”. Terrible.

    1. I completely agree with you. The dialogue feels disconnected, and the constant shifts between moments make it hard to follow. The game mechanics, especially for phone calls, are terrible. The protagonist’s repetitive response of “…uh…, i–” gets frustrating. It’s difficult to understand the dialogues, and sudden scene changes are confusing. Overall, the main character is unimpressive.

    1. +1

      I’m not sure I agree with the great models part. Except for Isabella, They all have exaggerated proportions, with huge boobs on small girls. I understand the Mom having huge boobs, but Nanami is probably the cutest model I’ve seen in any of these VN’s and her boobs are WAY too big for her tiny body.

      The dialogue is a complete cringefest, though.

  11. Not bad really for a first try on a VN game. The focus is definitely more on the story (or the narrative as the hipsters have to call it), although the CG and few animations are pretty good and up-to-date. Incest content is avoidable for the most part. Sex scenes are pretty scarce although we’re in Episode 5 (or Second Season), but we still have plenty of sexy moments. Thanks for providing!

  12. I liked the idea of simulating to actually type the phone messages. You can always skip with CTRL if it’s too much hassle for you – if that’s not a too stupid decision for you.

  13. That’s a fucked up family, especially the sisters (they are hard to love indeed) MC needs to grab the daughter and get the fuck outta there.
