Family, Friends and Strangers [v2024.10] [JohnAndRich]

It starts off as a kinetic novel, but later you start to get some choices. So, at first you can’t avoid content, but later you are given an option to skip NTR. But you can’t skip who you sleep with, etc.

The renders are like a B, competently done, but are like last year’s engine. Models could be slightly better, but at least he usually gives them flattering angles. Although, the mother is often over-expressive in the first half. Oh, also, there’s a loli you can’t avoid. And the rape tag is more in relation to the blackmail tag. The kinks are mild, so no worries.

I found myself not skipping dialog, like I typically do; the story is good enough that you want to follow it. Things are logical and the scenes believable. It’s largely a corruption story, but the first option you come across lets you choose the blackmail route, or the more romantic/love route. You get to see your mom and sister having a lot of sex, but the MC has sex only with other women, so far. Speaking of sex, the sex dialog is pretty good. Nothing bothered me (which is unusual.) Animations can range from simple to really very good (I’m thinking of one in particular.) Overall, if you don’t mind the tags, this is a good VN. The grainy renders do go away after a while, too.
