Manor Return

I like the concept and the theme appeals to me, but the repetition and some of the images/videos being distorted and not my taste turned me off. I did play all the way through simply to see the corruption aspect play out on the daughter. I did like her character design since she looks like a normal young woman and not some exaggerated plastic doll. i will likely play it again when it is a more complete game to see if the issues are fixed.

If you look at this game for its technical competence, its gameplay, even the narrative structure and presentation, this game is probably a 2 star at best. I'll talk about all the things it doesn't do very well, and then I'll explain at the end why I gave it 4 stars anyway. The AI artwork is for the most part exactly what you'd expect. Minor inconsistencies with character faces and bodies when they move in animations, poorly synced voice with mouth movement (though there are few voiced parts in the game so far), and of course a little bit of uncanny valley thrown in. The backgrounds are still images and in several of the animation's cases the characters are just moving on top of that static background image, creating scale issues. It's also a mixed bag whether the images/animations have been letterboxed/cropped to display at their original resolution or they are stretched to fit the aspect ratio of window (stretching them horizontally for me). Making sure all the assets display in their original aspect ratio would be a good improvement. There are some photographs to find in the mansion where the images depicted on them are tiny, it would improve that particular feature a lot if the images were large and could be full-screened after you collect them. The storytelling is fairly visual without very much text (though there is some sprinkled in with some "narration" at the beginning and MC's internal thoughts at some points) , and as I mentioned earlier there is some AI voiced parts. So the story is relatively bare bones from a writing perspective. The way the AI animated videos run, it's kinda half b-roll walking/looking/making facial expressions, and the other half is like highlight reels of certain actions. It does feel disjointed as a result (again, as is to be expected with most AI generated video content). The gameplay is like a navigation sandbox with some extremely light management aspects. It does the job, but not in a satisfying or interesting way. That all together creates a game that looks jank, feels kinda jank, and I do think it will turn some people off. Having said all that, I played through all the content. It took about 15-20 minutes, and at the end I found myself wishing there was more. I like the daughter character's aesthetic (the mom's too). The concept of a supernatural/demonic presence corrupting your daughter and the vaguely lovecraftian monsters the female characters engage with kept me engaged. The content that's there isn't quite enough to get me through a fap, but it definitely got me a good part of the way there. And the music is interesting. Pretty fitting for the atmosphere and does some fairly heavy lifting in making the atmosphere creepy. I gave this a 4 because I want this to keep getting developed, and because despite all it's glaring flaws, I will probably download this and play through it again when the next version comes out.

Needs work. Right now several bugs, or perhaps just broken links/information where things will be in the future but aren't implemented yet. Not a whole lot to see currently, and lots of repeating the same thing over and over. The grind is really miserable too, repeatedly sleeping to request the funds. The AI images and videos were fine quality wise, but were quite inconsistent (and again, repetitive). Would give it a try with some more polish.

It's actually something pretty good for something that was developed for 5 days I cant wait to find out how this turns out the ai video is actually pretty good I will wonder how long it will take to update if it will be fast updates and build up to finish or slow updstes where should get massive amount content.

Nice game, congratz to the Dev, i like A.I so no problem for me, it would be better with you make a path for only the father to fuck the girl? i'm not a fan of NTR lol, don't forget to update, i'm looking to see the development of this game!
