Life in Santa County is still one of my favorites. Lauren is the standout for me. The renders look amazing, animations are smooth, and the body proportions feel natural. Really hope the dev comes back to update it someday.

Of all the abbandoned stuff on here this one stings extra. Setting and set ups are to out there but execution, pacing and presentation are all top A-tier, sometimes even S-tier. Im not to sure how much the branching "dick" or "chick" options change overall since i only stuck with one route.

innocentGameDev 2026-02-03 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Seems to be abandoned but honestly this is one of the games I found myself coming back to due to just how excellent the renders and characters are. It's somewhat mediocre in terms of story, dialogue, character building and so on -- but not bad, just not as good as other 5 stars out there.But the renders are so so so good, and so are the animations, that I can't possibly dock any points.

Life in Santa County already got a few(?) rewrites but it definitely needs another one. In some moments narrative gets a bit messy. Very clearly some dialogue lines are still from the older version of the game, some scenes even despite being in the gallery are not happening in the game while follow up events are indeed happening, one character appears 3 times in the the first few hours of the game but is completely absent after that. A bit more work is definitely required here. But besides that, LiSC is a pretty standard incest game with MC living with his mom, two sisters, aunt and cousin. And well, we all can guess where this leads, right? LIs are pretty standard, cousin is the bitchy one here but we can dominate her and make her ours slave. Mom is lovely, aunt a bit slutty, just normal stuff but it's not bad, it's done well enough. There are also some organized crime themes and everything but they're pretty barebones, game tries to make them look quite serious and all but those things just doesn't really fit. I just want to have some funny, sexy time with my family and maybe with other girls, don't bother me with this bs. There are some sandbox segments here, they're pretty basic, no grind, no repeatable events or anything. We can collect some collectibles, secrets, find some money laying around etc. This is being called "Season 1" but for me game looks like it's 80% completed. Outside of one sister who doesn't really have any sexual content, other LI routes are pretty advanced also the organized crime thing seems to be near the end. Visual quality is definitely one of the game's best things. Redners are good looking with very solid models with nice body details and good looking faces. Very good looking skin. Animations are also pretty damn good, very fluid and natural. But for some reason, some of them are lagging. Sex scenes for the most part are quite good. They're pretty long, with different positions and few animations. In some of them you can choose the position etc. Even scenes without penetration are pretty nice and hot. Funny enough, i would say near the end of the game the sex scenes got a bit worse. There are two threesomes with mom and aunt and for me both of them were a bit disappointing. They were still pretty ok, but just not as good as some of the previous scenes. Music is ok and there are some solid sound effects. It's actually quite difficult to rate this game, it's pretty generic incest game with themes we saw in many other games, there is nothing groundbreaking here but at the same time LiSC is a pretty enyojable game with good visuals and scenes. Narrative and writing are a bit messy here and there but honestly, it doesn't make the experience with the game worse. It's a fun and hot game. And for me that's what's important in those games. Real shame this game is "abandoned" this game only needs like two more updates and that's all, it would make the game pretty much completed with around 15 hours of very solid content.

This game is straight up one of the best Ren’Py projects I’ve played in a long time. It hits almost everything perfectly. The story actually matters, the characters feel alive, and the love + domination dynamic with the MILF is just chef’s kiss. That emotional pull mixed with pure heat is what makes this game special. The animations are hot and smooth, the models look amazing without going too over the top, and the details and physics are way above average for a VN. You can tell real effort went into this. The story is genuinely good too, not just there as filler, and that’s rare in adult games. Everything flows well and keeps you invested. Is it perfect? No. But damn, the potential here is insane. This already feels like a masterpiece in the making. Easily one of my favorite adult games ever. I even supported it because it deserves it. That’s why it hurts a bit seeing no updates for so long. I’m desperately waiting for more. Please don’t abandon this project. It would be a real shame if it never gets completed. Keep going, take your time if needed, but please finish this. A lot of us are still here, still waiting for this game.

Tentatively 3* but mostly because of the visuals. Cast is really well customized, models resemble human beings, not default daz models. The most confusing part is 2 separate versions of the game. As the linked locations were either offline or were giving estimated download time of 5 hours, downloaded the game elsewhere. Which is LifeinSantaCounty-S1v2025.05.20, which is to the best of my understanding is the same as 'Steam' version linked here. In this version, the plot is a fewerish dream. Some new characters appear out of blue, MC continues conversation with them, tho it is the very first time we see those peoples! Somehow MC's aunt and some other female started living with his family. His father was shown in 1 scene and disappeared after that. Also suddenly dev decided that the game should now contain sandbox elements and quests, while it was an AVN before that. As I understand patreon version had MC visiting school, for Steam version game was changed and MC has a job. And somewhere scenes got shuffled beetwen the versions. Will try downloading patreon version, may it would ,make more sense. EDIT: Patreon version makes a bit more sense, however in both versions dev prefers to use chaotic storytelling. We are seeing an explosion scene. We are seeing NEXT DAY. Immediately after that MC is having a dream, in which he dreams of what happened just after the explosion, and a flashback of the conversation with the Lanlady, where we get to choose what actually happened during this conversation. Is it a porn game, or a post-modernistic art piece?

The appearance of the female characters in the game might seem a bit unconventional at first glance, but the animation scenes in the game are extremely well done. In the Steam version, Lauren is called the landlord, and the protagonist John goes to the company. This has resulted in a very strong sense of plot discontinuity. and where's Charlotte？

pietrinhs 2025-10-09 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I have absolutely no words. This is by far one of my favorites. All I can say is that this is a masterpiece. I don't know if there's gonna be a season 2, but if there is, I'm looking forward. I even bought on Steam xD. Good job dev, fr.

Review of Life in Santa County [S1 v1.1] ... ... as a game: * Decent story. The story right now is a mess. I don't know if some chapters were rewritten or what but it's so confusing. * Decent dialogs. * Has music and sounds but no voices. * Has some performance issues. ... regarding its erotic side: * Characters design is great. The woman has different body types, imperfections in the skin and they are really hot. * Scenes are great. There a lot of variety of scenes and fetiches, like public, on phone call, footjob etc. * Decent animations. * It has music, sounds and some moans (no fully voiced). * Has Gallery mode. No hints to unlock all scenes but currently you have to play only two paths to unlock all. The game has some serious problems, like some laggy animations or the messy story. Right now, I would rate the season 1 with a 3-4, but like this is a porn game and I rate his erotic side more, I give it 4 stars.

Mr.Jamo 2025-08-23 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

It only having 3.5 stars surprised me. If there were oscars for porn games this would 100% win one. Outstanding quality. However most complains are about the story and admittedly I skipped MOST of it.

Life in Santa County (LISC) - Season 1 Review Hot Mess Under One Roof You just moved into a fancy new house, feeling all grown up and ready for that next chapter. But instead of just enjoying your new digs, you suddenly become the accidental patriarch of a very chaotic, very dramatic, very NSFW household. That’s the premise of LISC, a game that throws comedy, scandal, and a lot of adult content into one big, sexy soap opera stew. It’s one part dating sim, one part visual novel, and about twenty parts “Wait, did that really just happen?!” About This Game Storyline So, the story kicks off strong with a familiar yet juicy setup: you move in with the woman who’s shaped your life, but just as things are looking up, she’s slammed with an unfair accusation. Now it’s your job to defend her while keeping peace among the five wildly different women sharing your roof. The stakes are surprisingly high—rich rivals want to mess with your life, secrets are bubbling under the surface, and relationships are on a knife's edge. It all sounds great… until it kind of doesn’t. Somewhere around the one-third mark, the plot takes a flying leap off the logic cliff. Characters teleport between scenes with zero explanation, storylines get tangled, and there are moments that genuinely feel like missing puzzle pieces. Like, why is this character suddenly calling you her student when you're her intern? And how did someone get pregnant if you never even slept with them? These aren’t metaphorical questions—they’re actual plot holes. The tone is all over the place too, swinging between serious drama and TikTok slang faster than you can say sus. Gameplay Mechanics Mechanically, it’s a pretty standard visual novel/dating sim combo. You make choices, build relationships, and unlock new scenes depending on how you play. Theoretically, your choices should lead to different endings and impact the relationships around you. Technically they do. But here’s the catch: no matter what you do, things tend to end up in the same place. It’s a bit of a bummer, especially in a game that promises branching paths and high replayability. That said, if your goal is to unlock every spicy scene possible, there’s some replay value in poking around different paths. Just don’t expect a radically different storyline or satisfying payoff each time. Visuals & Audio Here’s where LISC shines: the visuals. Animations are smooth, characters look great, and there’s a surprising amount of variety when it comes to body types, styles, and overall character design. It’s definitely a cut above the usual fare in the adult visual novel space. Some people even call it crisp, which, in this context, is a compliment. The audio’s decent, sound effects are plentiful and get the job done, though there's nothing particularly memorable or game-changing. Just don't expect full voice acting or a soundtrack that’ll stick in your head. Pros Excellent visual quality and top-tier animations Lots of NSFW content with plenty of variety Solid character designs and diversity Some genuinely funny, heartwarming moments Decent scene gallery for collectors and completionists Cons Story starts strong but falls apart quickly Choices don’t really matter, most paths lead to the same result Writing is inconsistent and sometimes confusing Characters lack depth and evolve unrealistically fast Conclusion LISC is one of those games that’s hard to pin down. If you’re coming for the adult content, you’re in for a treat, there’s a lot of it, it looks great, and it covers a broad range of tastes. But if you’re hoping for a compelling narrative, engaging character arcs, and meaningful choices? You might end up scratching your head more than anything else. This game had potential, and you can see flashes of a solid, emotional story beneath the surface. But the execution feels rushed, with weird plot jumps, questionable dialogue, and a branching system that pretends to offer choice but really doesn’t. It’s like watching a really juicy soap opera where they skipped half the episodes and forgot to spellcheck the script. So would I recommend it? If you’re here for the spicy stuff and don’t mind turning your brain off for the plot, yeah, go for it. Just maybe wait for a sale, and don't expect your choices to actually mean anything. Rating: 3.5/5 (Will pick 4 stars, as 3.5 is not pickable) Links Steam Store Page Website Review

zroy737 2025-06-21 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

nice visual, boring story it really wants to take itself seriously when it comes to the story but the writing is like high school level. criminal activities and stuff don't really have anything to do with the visual it is presenting. seems like it's trying to draw it out using the story instead of a story interesting enough to keep you going.

Doom Marine 2025-06-21 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Review: Life in Santa County [S1 v1.1] – Style Over Substance Rating: 1.5/5 Life in Santa County by Bold Bash Studios is the kind of adult visual novel that makes you question why you started it in the first place. It has all the surface-level appeal — sleek visuals, high-quality renders, and a polished UI — but fails almost entirely in delivering a coherent story, engaging dialogue, or satisfying character development. It’s a game that looks good in screenshots, but the moment you press “Start,” everything starts falling apart. A Prologue That’s a Total Trainwreck The game opens with a bloated, confusing prologue that tries to dump too much exposition on the player too fast. Rather than gradually introducing the world and its characters, it throws everything at you at once, breaking immersion almost immediately. I couldn’t even figure out the basic setup. What exactly is the MC’s relationship with Lauren? Is she his mother? His boss? A landlady? Why is he living in a house with all his coworkers? The story just doesn’t take time to establish anything clearly. And when your first 30 minutes are that disjointed, it’s hard to get invested in what comes next. Weak Writing, Worse Dialogue The dialogue feels flat and robotic. It lacks personality, flow, or purpose. Scenes skip awkwardly from one topic to another, and instead of building tension or intrigue, the narrative just stumbles forward with no momentum. I found myself skimming through large sections of the script, hoping something — anything — would hook me. Spoiler: it didn’t. No Romance, Just Instant Gratification Despite being tagged as "story-rich" and "romance," this game delivers neither. Every female character seems to fall for the MC instantly, without any kind of buildup or emotional depth. There’s no progression — no flirting, no tension, no sense of "earning" the romance. You just wake up and suddenly every girl in the house is deeply into you. As for the sex scenes? Rushed. There's zero anticipation or pacing. The MC jumps into lewd scenarios with little context, and most of these moments happen without player input. It often feels like the dev just wanted to check a fetish box rather than tell a meaningful or arousing story. Dual Stats: Wasted Mechanics The game implements a stat system — intimidation vs charisma — but it’s mostly underused. While it suggests you might shape your character’s personality or even change the dynamic with certain girls, in practice it rarely impacts the game. Usually, it just determines whether you see the full lewd scene or not. Again, wasted potential. Fetish Overload with No Focus Let’s address the elephant in the room: this game has an obsession with foot fetish content and underwear sniffing. It’s everywhere — exaggerated to the point where it feels like the developer’s personal kink fantasy rather than something integrated naturally into the story. If you're not into that specific fetish, expect to feel alienated very quickly. Visuals Are the Only Saving Grace To be fair, the renders are excellent. The characters are well-modeled, the lighting is clean, and the environments look good. If all you want is eye candy, there’s plenty here. But great visuals without compelling writing are like a beautifully wrapped empty box — pretty, but ultimately hollow. Final Verdict: A Mess in Designer Clothing Life in Santa County could’ve been something. With the resources and visual polish it has, this game had potential to be a standout AVN. But it collapses under its own lack of narrative focus, shallow romance, and repetitive, one-note fetish content. The gameplay elements are underutilized, the story is a mess, and the dialogue ranges from forgettable to cringeworthy. If you’re looking for meaningful storytelling, engaging romance, or well-developed adult content, look elsewhere. This one’s a bust. Would I recommend it? Not even to my worst enemy.

Probably one of the better Ren'Py games I've played in a while. Seems there's been changes with the game from its initial. Best parts to me are the characters, the design, and the animation. Bonus is the story. The chjaracert and design are the best and not over the top too much. Animation is good quality and all of this from an S01 release.

WardroberVT 2025-05-27 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

What a mess in prologue. If you somehow go through it you'll possibly can have fun and interest in it but not me. I was bored not so far from the prologue and thanks to gallery unlocker i watched all scenes in gallery and dropped it. In prologue nothing is clear, it's very long and boring. Frequent flashbacks make it even more confusing and text is full of idioms and slangs make it impossible to immerse in story and that's why many players drop it out after 1hr of play. Girls wanna make love with main hero even if they hate him. Every one of them has huge breast and butt. Not bad but nothing new and interesting in it. Many models you've possibly already met in other vns. Graphics and visual have decent level but space between eyes of girls often changes during dialogue and looks creepy. Girl in the attic has unique style and looks like turned out from other game or made by different artist. Sound and music. Nothing extraordinary. Few samples during scenes and they are very quite. There is no any sound during sex scenes. Devs should rework at least prologue and rewrite a lot of text to make this game enjoyable now it's just a stunner girls in sex scenes in unlocked gallery without any sounds.

The renders are good, animations too, but man, the grammar issues AND the story jumping all over the place (while also not keeping consistency [boss/teacher, landlady/friend, etc]) is annoying, ngl. maybe I'll revisit this once all these kinks are fixed. Also, tone down on the whole "nine yards" thing, sheesh.

jerichodowns 2025-05-21 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

v0.11.0 Its so bad I couldn't finish it. I came to this game with high hopes due to the number of positive reviews. The start of the game is incredibly frustrating and disheveled. Its nearly all about events that occurred before the game, and they don't give you much in terms of details about what actually happened, just vague references and thats a theme you need to get used to. There are lots of vague references to seemingly big important events, alongside flashbacks to awkward and not really justified sexually tense encounters between characters you either haven't seen together before or have just barely seen together. Its missing ALL of the buildup you expect to care about characters relationships and is just trying to force it down your throat as already understood and important. The story just keeps jumping all over the place without justification or any sense of continuity. The renders are decent for quality, but quite frankly most of the characters are kind of ugly despite having aggressively overdeveloped features. The animations are not awesome. The motions being made are always quick, kinda choppy, and moving like 1/4 of the distance they should be. Also, its freaking huge! I wish I could have my 15 gigs of bandwidth back. I cannot begin to understand how this game has received so many 4 and 5 star reviews.

CassidyPRO 2025-05-18 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

The remake killed the game. no more incest.. but the writting still thinks it has it.. So you get weird sentences that make no sense whatsoever. The renders got uglier aswell.. it simply wrecked the entire game out of nowhere and for noreason...

jmcronshaw 2025-05-14 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

This game in a vacuum isn't great, the narrative is stupid and the layout and structure of the game is irritating. The writing is also often stilted in a really peculiar manner. The renders however are excellent and the sex scenes and animations are well done. The characters too are decent, though they run a but tropey. I'm personally giving it 4 stars because it ticks a lot of boxes that i'm looking for in these games. However if you aren't a fan of the tags this is probably a three or maybe even a 2 star game for you Recommended for anyone who is a fan of incest games

Jax Oraboni 2025-03-23 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Liked most of the models, some could be better, but some details and physics are mega nice addition that you cant usually see in most of VNs. This is not perfect but still i think it has great potential
