Reclaiming the Lost

Well, I like the chars. But there are some problems with the game and this page. as I understand it (at least from the first page of comments), the tags depend on the players. But it would be good if there will be "future/planned tags" thing (is this a multiple endings game or harem (cuz it may seem like Emily and sis is okay) and so on). There also a problem with text. I mean, sometimes there are repetitions of the same sentences. Well, it also happens that the "talking" character does not match the label on the screen. Overall, it's a good game. I wish dev a good luck in finishing his game and hope he will succeed UPD: and 1more thing. As I understood correctly, but if you install patch, then later in the game (idk, mb after half of it) different chars can call MC or Grace (mom) not by their name, but by "son" or "mom". But man, when Eve or Emily calls MC "son" it just seems strange. I'm almost sure it's because of patch, but if patch is unofficial then this is not a dev problem. I just think it's important to note

Boring pure and simple. An AVN needs good scenes and/or a good story to hold a reader and this has neither. The only saving grace is if you're like me and only found this in the latest patch. (.12 at the time of this) Can't imagine following this for 3 years, feel bad for those that have been.

I found this game in summer last year so I don't have the level of frustration when it comes to hot scenes as some of my previous reviewers appear to have. I tried to keep things steamy with all the ladies except for granny and I must say I like the looks of all of them. Also the story is not bad and I find the mystery about what is going on engaging enough. I want to see what's up with the girl we saw at the end that seems to have orchestrated events, I want to see Olivia again, and I definitely want the 3some with Chloe and Emily to happen. All in all solid work.

PROS - Art is relatively fine. Not amazing, there are better rated games with considerably better visuals. Its better than average. - I like the variety of younger and older girls. Something for everyone. Sure, literally all the LIs are white girls but I appreciate the MILF looking mature, so many incest games have the MILF looking like she is 25yo. CONS - Don't let the sex tags fool you. For a game 3 years in development, this has virtually no sex scenes (1 short doggystyle vaginal sex scene and 1 cunnilingus scene, everything else is just softcore teasing & groping). - So you would think okay no sex, then this must be one of those story heavy 'stay for the plot, not the sex' game. But nope the plot is very elementary & predictable, dad got a letter that his ex-gf got pregnant, surprise surprise, the blonde teen you've recently met is your long lost daughter. How extremely surprising. There is nothing in the writing or story that really makes it stand out. The standard AVN dad-daughter game tropes and cliches. - The game makes a big promise that your choices affect the story and characters but I don't really see any evidence of this. There seens to be a love path and a lust path, but calling them a path is being extremely generous, its just a minor variation in scenes. Not really groundbreaking stuff. I've gotten ~70% of all the scenes in one playthrough. - He definitely overuses the 'sex scene about to happen but suddenly gets interrupted' gimmick. I get the frustration with all the reviewers here, he does it like over 6-7 times, its kinda funny lol. - MC's personality seems pretty inconsistent. He is protective, honorable and very kind towards main LIs Chloe, Emily, Grace but acts like a immoral rapey 14yo kid towards his best friend's wife. I guess he wants to do the whole netori thing but damn the personality shift is drastic.

No sex, promising isnt enough anymore, we went from having sex with emily to not getting a single blowjob from her in next updates, and with no mention of the other women that i dont like , only emily with the netori shit, and that's not enough for me anymore neither, this game should have less rating, 3 years and no progression

The game may be good in terms of visual quality, and the women all look great, but after three years, there's only one vaginal sex scene. On top of that, in every scene that's starting to get erotic, some complete idiot barges in and constantly interrupts the MC with the women. The MC's sister holds the record for interrupting. This constant teasing and cockblocking is really getting on my nerves. I won't touch the game again until it's finished. Since the developer hasn't managed to bring even one female character closer to the MC in three years, I assume the developer is simply incompetent at writing sex scenes. As I said, there's only one vaginal sex scene, and that's Bob's wife, and you have to be a jerk to get that scene. If you play as the love character, you don't even get a blowjob; you don't even see the MC's penis. When playing Love Route, there's absolutely no sexual interaction except for licking the mother's pussy. But guess what? The sister comes in and interrupts them again and again. Being constantly interrupted in every sexual situation is extremely annoying. I can't understand who's into this kind of thing. Presumably, the target audience is cucks who are too cowardly to sleep with a woman anyway; they'd rather sit in a corner and jerk off. Personally, I'm just frustrated with the game. It's been constant blueballing for three years. Isn't it about time the main character could actually have sex with women? Or is the game only going to be finished in 20 years? The other possibility is that the developer just wants to milk his subscribers. translated with google

By Odin's beard this is just barebones. Beyond reclaiming iswhat it is. 2 years and this is all we get. Some teasing and 1 or 2 very stiff lewd scenes, not even anything with the milf. This game like many others on this site gets rated on potential. Nobody rates games based on what it actually is anymore

As of [v0.11] An okay game with the potential to be great, but it's not quite there yet. The visual/render quality is probably the highlight for me. There are several really hot LIs. My favorites are Emily and Chloe, but unfortunately there's really not that much spicy content with them. Looking forward to more as that would definitely bump the score up. The scene that was the hottest was with a character named Olivia, but it got removed/the character got reworked? I'm coming back to the game after first playing it 2 years ago, so I really don't remember. Reworks though tend to be a red flag in the AVN world, so removing that scene is disappointing. The story is also not super interesting in my opinion and neither is the writing. Sometimes the dialogue in a single scene just goes on and on. Overall a bit of a middle of the road game, but at least it has some really nice eye candy to offer. It's good enough for me to be excited for updates.

There are some decent renders and the story isn't "horrible" but the bottom line is that as long as it is, you would expect some intimacy, but as with soooo many other Devs, you've got this scene that is starting to HEAT UP and then someone knocks at the door, or someone calls or someone walks in and ruins it. I'm sorry, but I am so over this interruption behavior that devs love to use to disappoint you. I think that the only real way to stop it is to let the Devs know that we're not going to tolerate it. So I'm sorry, I can't recommend this game the way that it is. Dev, grow up.

Top quality art and models. The scenes are really great and the relationships build up in believable ways. The characters feel like real and complex people too. My main complaints are that I wish it had more content with story and relationship progression. Some relationships are really slow to build up. Also, scenes keep getting cut short due to interruptions. It's frustrating and happens quite a bit.

super thrilling. Beautiful LIs. mostly believable, slow but steady development. Unique exterior. Excellent graphics This story realy captured me. Could not stop to click forward. Downside: - really not much hot scenes. f*ed just one LI by Chapter 11! - As has been said by @Yng_123 before: every hot scene gets interrupted by somebody stepping in the room or phone emergency call etc. Gets somewhat predictable - Mafia development gives depressing turn to a somewhat lighthearted develeopmment before. Cannot imagine how dev and authors will find their way back into erotic playgrounds. - animations unfortunately do not work on tablet

[v0.11] This is certainly one of the most visually appealing game among all. There are few other devs that pay this much attention to the details of a render. First of all, the posing is among the best I've ever seen. The posture, the gestures, the expressions. There is definitely teasing for the player's eyes, but the posing is grounded and very real. They just seem like real movements of a person. Secondly, the clothing is fitted to perfection. As far as I know, when you put clothes on a DAZ model, it just basically takes on the contours of the body. And this leads to the retarded looking "boob-sockets" which are so common in even highly visually acclaimed games. Getting rid of it is no simple task, AFAIK. But this dev makes clothes fit so naturally and the outfits are sexy as hell. Third, the models themselves are all top tier stuff and all of them are quite unique. I don't remember seeing these models anywhere. Special mention should go to the GILF who shows her age gracefully and realistically while still being hot as hell. Unfortunately, the animation isn't great. It's low frame rate and choppy, at least the first one I saw so far. Not sure if it gets better later. The prose can get a bit over the top and flowery, but it's not to the point where I would groan. Overall, the dialogues and descriptive texts are both very good. [...at least at the beginning. I think the LLM dialogues deteriorates significantly as the story goes on, but the story itself is still good.] What's special about the writing is that it sort of mirrors the visuals. There is some extremely good build up and edging. The relationships evolve organically without dragging it on. There is a certain line the characters will skirt around rather than just diving into some shit without a second thought. In practice, this means multiple characters have that one choice early on where you went too far too fast. It could seem arbitrary, but I think it's mostly believable. Anyways, I found the gradual build up to each character's progression pretty realistic while still being tantalizing and taboo (not in the incest way). Spoiler: About incest Speaking of incest, this is actually my main gripe with this game. It has schrodinger's incest. As I understand it, the game was initially an incest game but the dev decided to remove it due to patreon. They opted to just leave things ambiguous rather than definitively write the story with incest (with patch) or non-incest in mind. And the result is that both kind of work, but both also have immersion breaking issues. Let's talk about non-incest. This is the official story of the dev. The backstory is not really explained fully. The "mom and sis" chars are family friends from MC's far past. They lost contact for a long time when MC moved away and became busy with life. They reunite at the start of the game. But MC's thoughts about Grace is that she is "center of his universe." It's kind of a strange description of a family friend. There are other thoughts or dialogues that don't quite add up, as if it was supposed to be written as incest. Furthermore, the code still shows them as mom and sis in the variables and they act quite familial. Grace says things that hints at the MC resembling her of her late husband (common trope in incest). Unfortunately, the incest version is worse. The script is written a bit ambiguously, but mostly sticks to the non-incest. The incest patch, then, is a fan concoction. They have to go through the script and manually adjust the sentences to introduce incest when relevant. No shade thrown at someone contributing to the community, but the patch is not great. It makes the dialogues extremely unnatural. I miss him, son. Can I ask you something, my son? How are you, sister? Things of that nature just takes me out. In a game that prides itself on immersive visuals and storytelling, I personally couldn't stomach the unnatural dialogue edits of the incest. And the re-imagined story itself is a bit unfitting for incest. "I've heard that you moved to Phoenix a few years ago. I'm sorry I haven't found the time to visit you sooner." This is what MC says when we meet Grace for the first time. This makes perfect sense for a family friend he lost touch with, but not so much if they were family that are still in good terms. Who did he hear from that his family moved to his city, if not from his family? How would it even be possible for him to hear this from someone else when they are clearly not estranged? It also wouldn't make any sense for Grace to not put up more of a resistance or mention how wrong it is if they were mother and son. Maybe in another game, that might work, but not this game which fully acknowledges the taboos when it exists (like cheating with best friend's wife and the mystery suitor route with Chloe). "Son, I can't... I'm sorry... it's just... after your father... I still love him. Even after all this time. And I feel like... if I let myself feel this way about someone else, I'm betraying him." Try to stay immersed when the objection "your mom" has with this relationship is that she still loves her late husband, and not that SHE IS GETTING FRISKY WITH HER SON! lol That's me being long-winded about how I think the game works better without the patch, which is unfortunate. I prefer the added taboo of incest but not when it makes the story worse. Doubly unfortunate that even the non-incest version has some issues due to this incest dilemma.

It's got some great points - gorgeous women, good dialogue, some non-lust-based emotion. But it's also got bad ones: strange choices, strange reactions, a feeling of powerlessness, no choice about one relationship, and good-but-not-great sex scenes, and an underwhelming plot. I'm leaving this latest update (v0.11) immensely unsatisfied. So, a mixture of high and low points - I'm giving it 3 stars, although I can see how some people would love it. The good points kind of speak for themselves. The bad require explanation. The game has a faceless protagonist, except for when you see his face. But the main problem with him is that it’s inconsistent when you get to decide what he feels. Sometimes you can choose to get angry or stay calm. Sometimes you can’t. Sometimes you can decide to pursue a LI. Sometimes the decision is made for you. It’s a strange dynamic, and not one I appreciate. A kinetic novel would be fine, as would a protagonist who gets to make choices but has fixed feelings about events (which is the most common option), as would a more free protagonist, but the middle ground – here, at least – is not good. Add to that that the protagonist is being strung along for much of the plot, and it only gets worse. The audience should not be left feeling powerless twice over. Then, there is the fact that the protagonist is forced into a currently commitmentless relationship with one of the girls, and it is unaffected by his other relationship choices, and his other relationships are unaffected by it, culminating in a scene with two of the LIs that plays out exactly the same no matter what your previous choices are. It would be one thing if this were a harem game, but it isn’t presented or written as such. The writer is very inconsistent with the consequences of choices, especially when it comes to lines of consent. And it’s not just me being strange, because this game is unique (among those I have played) in this respect. Sometimes, you can feel a girl’s breasts with no obvious prompt, verbal or otherwise, from her, and it’s fine, and she’s happy about it. Other times she says something flirty, and you slowly slide your fingers an inch higher on her thighs, and she freaks the fuck out. Not as in “‘not so fast, mister,’ she said with a smile,” but as in “WHY THE FUCK DID YOU TOUCH ME YOU MONSTER!” I’m not sure what to make of it, but it seems to me that the writer doesn’t really understand how these things are supposed to work: (you tease, you get encouragement, you push a little farther, she encourages you again, you push farther, and then at some point she tells you that you’re misreading everything and you’re as ugly as a troll coming out of a burn ward. Or maybe that’s just me.) Anyway, some of these games have poor following of consent, where the protagonist goes way too fast, bordering on sexual assault (or even crossing it) but he gets away with it without consequences. This isn’t like those, thankfully, but it feels kind of like two writers with very different ideas of flirting and lines of consent and appropriate progressions are writing the scenes, not so much together, as alternating. And neither of them is very good at following a realistic line. And there are other times, like when a choice on where to put your finger sets off a butterfly effect of two different paths. As though the writer couldn't decide which path to go with, so just put in both without giving the player the ability to affect the protagonist towards one path or the other. And there are inconsistencies, especially in the mystery relationship Chloe path. Spoiler: spoilers Like when she and the protagonist both mention that she sent him half-naked photos, but she only did that for her mystery date, and neither of them (nor the writer) realizes it. Or when she calls out the protagonist’s name during sexy time, and then they go back to pretending she doesn’t know his identity. And I could have sworn that, in a prior version, there had been a scene where she admits that she recognized the protagonist on the first date, but it’s not here anymore. Maybe I’m remembering something else, memory can be tricky, so I’m not deducting anything for that, I’m just complaining. But, still, I really don’t like it when VN devs retcon shit like that – which definitely happened with a thing with Olivia, that was cut out entirely. Plan it out, then execute. Spoiler: spoilers here, kind of, but also I want to shrink this wall of text And the strange eighteen year old girl, Olivia, I think, who looks a lot like his ex, and is the lone girl with whom you can’t flirt at all, is obviously his daughter. Why the fuck can’t he just ask “hey, are you adopted by any chance?” It feels like she is introduced in such a way that she has to be his daughter. She doesn’t feel like a passing stranger, or an LI, but she has no obvious relation to the plot. So maybe she’s a red herring, but that would be shitty. Maybe she’ll turn out to be his daughter’s best friend, that wouldn’t be so bad. Otherwise, her role in the story is inappropriate. It would be one thing if his daughter turned out to be a barista at his favorite cafe, or something, but this girl, with whom his connection feels purely by chance and rather narratively forced, I just don’t see her current existence as likely to benefit the audience at all. Maybe she’ll get retconned, again. So, yeah, the highs are high, and the lows are low, and this game could go in either a very positive or very negative direction, and I have no idea which it will choose.

If you are looking for a fast paced fap with extensive LIs pool, that's not it. Very good game either for older audience, or for people enjoying slower buildup and a lot of teasing. Nice visuals, animations, SFX, its all there. For almost all LIs there is "Lust/Dom" and "Love" path. The only 2 issues that were annoying me personally: 1) Inconsistent and too young looking renders of 'Mother' character (or whoever she is if you didn't aplly patch). It wouldn't be an issue for the most of games, but here I have a feeling that devs go for realistic approach. And character who is described as around 60, looking randomly 30 in one scene and 45 in other, seems to be a bit off. 2) The trope of 'something steamy is about to happen but it is interrupted unexpectedly' is overused. It's fine when phone rings when MC is about to kiss LI, but when it happens more than 5 times, smells a bit of lazy writing. Overall really enjoyed it, highly recommended.

Review for v0.11 It starts good, but the story kindy forgets its main point/drive, it also has inconsistencies in how the MC behaves towards others! The main LI all look super hot, the interactions and dialog is just hot, great buildup - but it also gets to blue-ball point! Hopefully the devs continues and finished it.

Review for v0.11 Gave this one a good try but it just did not capture me. The overview kinda sets up the expectation that this might be a sort of romantic mystery drama following a man wanting to do things right and find his daughter. Sounds like it's a solid and simple enough plot for an adult visual novel. The details are what really draws you in with these types of stories though, and this game sorely lacks them. The first chapter I can only really describe as extremely dull. We are John Businessman, taking a step into seemingly any other normal day for our MC. We get a coffee at a cafe, wish a cute girl luck on an interview, and move on with our day. The only outlier being a meeting with a private investigator, and it is here we learn about our daughter. The MC received a letter from an old girlfriend during "that part of my life..." where she explains she was pregnant, had the kid, and gave her up for adoption. She's now about to die from cancer, and decides to reveal that you have a kid so you can go find her and be the family she apparently needs. How does the MC feel about this? Couldn't really tell you. Why is he going to now search for his daughter? Because it's the right thing to do I guess? What really happened for the MC to leave his old town and break up with his GF? That one I do have an answer for, and it's lame. He got a job opportunity in another city. Maybe him and his GF were arguing? No. She made him choose between leaving for the job or staying with her? Nah. She wanted to move right with him. He simply "feels like it's best for me" and then jump back to present time of him standing around pensively lol. This is one of my big problems with the game. The characters are so uninteresting. The only things I can tell you about the MC, after playing this for two-ish hours, is that he runs a business and wants to find his daughter. He doesn't really do anything. Doesn't have a lot of thoughts about anything. He just kind of exists for the plot. This extends to the entire cast really. The bar scene with the first love interest, your new assistant who for some reason implicitly trusts you enough to travel with you to find your daughter, is literally a bunch of nothing. You have an awkward conversation, she gets drunk out of nowhere, then you head home and the chapter ends. Other characters are not much better. No one in this game feels fleshed out, they all kind of exist for one reason. Mostly sex. Your buddy's unsatisfied wife, your lonely mother-esque figure, her young peppy daughter, none of them do anything outside of romance scenes when the game decides to pause the plot and jump to one of them for a disconnected date. The plot is kinda misleading as well. What was posed as a "find your daughter" story has, so far, turned into "being blackmailed by the mob" story because your friend and business partner is a dumbass and borrowed a bunch of money. One I am just not interested in. The praise I do have for this game is that the models are nice and the romance scenes are pretty well structured. Dialogue itself is unremarkable, but the girls are hot and create some sexual tension. Specifically Grace might be one of the best takes of a mature woman that I've seen. She's right on the border of older but still very attractive in a way you don't see often. The one penetrative sex scene could have had better angles though for sure. Long story short the plot and characters are very bland but the models and scenes were decent enough that I cared to hold the skip button to see them. Could only really see myself returning for that reason.

This game the only pro it has is good renders so 1 star Story it feels like nothing is progressing the game started with MC searching for his daughter and ended up blackmailed from mafia (this is hateful)...minus 1 star The version says it is 0.11 so the dev gives small updates most games of this style are abandoned...minus 1 star Blueballing another annoying game with little sex scenes...minus 1 star i tried the game cause i liked the idea of mc looking for his daughter but the dev was misleading...minus 1 star

Gorgeous renders, distinct characters and a story that actually tries to do more than connect sex scenes. Pacing can drag and some dialogue feels a bit stiff, but overall it easily sits in the top tier of current games. Solid 5/5 for me.

The game delivers an impressive blend of emotion, tension, and mature storytelling. The “motherly” character role is especially captivating—not because of anything explicit, but because of the incredible depth, warmth, and complexity built into her personality. She brings a unique presence that transforms every scene she appears in, making the experience feel more immersive and emotionally charged. Her balance of strength, caring energy, and subtle seductive charm makes her one of the most unforgettable characters in the game. The developers clearly put extraordinary effort into her animations, expressions, and voice performance. Every interaction feels polished and intentional, giving players a sense of realism and connection that many adult-themed games fail to achieve. The mature tone is handled tastefully, blending excitement with a well-crafted narrative that keeps players engaged far beyond the visual appeal. Overall, the game succeeds because it respects its audience—it delivers passion, atmosphere, and emotional impact without sacrificing quality. The character’s role stands out as one of the most compelling aspects of the entire experience, making the game not only exciting but genuinely memorable.

Wow again. Not very often, that I give 5 stars. The storyline of the male MC searching his daughter, the incidents happening and the ladies he is meeting on this path together with the beauty and high quality of the female characters and the animation really leaves only 5 starts. As this is version 0.10, there is still a lot to expect down the road. Definitively a creator who deserves to be supported financially
