To me, in a lot of ways this looks like a clone of "Curing my Addiction" (by the same author), just in a different setting. The setting felt a bit forced. Anyway, I'd still have loved to see this game finished.

hairy_trump 2025-01-27 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

It is a text based game, masqureading, thgat is why whikle thge writing is okay, The reader gets fatigued after a while when looking on the same face , the backgrounds are also stock, as if the characters are circling the same area, which works well since they are camping trail as it provide them, lonliness, but is extremely harmful cbecause variety is the key of tehe setting. The only good thing about is its stunning renders during lewd scenes, but sadly that consistenency is not maintained in large chunkl of the story, Moreover unlike the great games in AVNs this game still relies on old form of establishing intimacy. Overall highly disappointed especially because the friend guy allowing to fuck lis makes this whole situation even more weird. I didn't even waited for what the mansion plotline they were alluding to , because by then I had lost my patience.

sounds good but game don't rl tell you where to go or what to do or where do you sleep i got game over quite early and my only option was to quit or retry all i wanted to do is to pass the day to next morning... no wonder author left it, its awful to play/get into as new player please less games like this

Such a confused game. Boring visual novel sections, which connect to grindy faux-management sections.I think it was trying to be slightly artsy in places, but then it is totally artless in others. The fact it is unfinished just adds to the uncannyness of it all. What did that scene mean? Why did the core gameplay keep changing? Is this game meant to be creepy, or was that a mistake? Just very, very odd. To bring this review back down to earth, I will say the renders are nice. Not incredible but a solid 7 or 8 out of 10. It is unfortunatly in that genre of management games where you spend 98.5% of the time looking at the exact same screens youve been looking at all game to try and hunt down the combinations of conditions you need to see a single render. So its good looking but spread thin. Kinky content is there. Sort of. Kind of. Much like CMA its a game that I think believes it is dirtier and darker than it is. All I remember is seeing static images of girls naked in the bathroom. A homeopathic amount of BDSM content. Overall a weird ugly duckling that MAY have come together into a game worth playing, but it never will because it was abandoned. So now it is just stuck as a weird, weird lil' guy.

Worse than CMA in almost every way. Started off very strong with a great prologue and some charismatic characters. Then the sandbox starts. Just awful. Atrocious garbage of a sandbox that's even worse than CMA's. Prettier but less accessible hint system, repetitive scenes and garbage events with just 1 tiny difference where everything else is the same. Instead of just being able to pass the days quickly and get to the scenes, they decided to add a garbage grind system where you're forced to repeat content, and where you can game over if you just want to go to the new content instead of dreadfully repeating the same garbage over and over. Horrible. The worst part is the characters and the writing. Aside from the initial group of 3 in the prologue with decent charisma the "house" characters are all garbage enigmatic cookie-cutter sex slaves with zero dimensions and nothing appealing about them. It was surprisingly terrible considering the excellent work that was done in the early CMA chapters (though by chapter 4/5 CMA had also fallen into bad writing as well).

It's a pity since the game's opening sequence was amazing—well-rendered, with engaging conversation and a setting that was above average. The sandbox grind then starts. It destroys the game's narrative structure, interest in the characters, and forward momentum. Any potential interest I could have in the plot, the characters, or the sporadic drip of sensual occurrences begins to be overtaken by the time waste. I can suggest playing the prologue only unless you have a genuine masochistic attitude toward performing repetitive point-and-click activities.

After getting halfway through game, I realized it wasn't for me, far too much emphasis on anal and bdsm, however I will try and ignore that and focus on the objective technical aspects. Artwork is fantastic - I love how the game has a consistent color palette of dark green and brown, earthy tones to match the setting. Animations are very solid, had no complaints and never felt like skipping anything - despite my aforemented disinterest in the specific fetishes. Dialogue is competent, was obviously written by an english speaker or translated well. Only mechanical downsides would be a somewhat lacking feeling of choice, yes you can prioritize one of the daughters or the friend's girlfriend, but overall, the main events seem locked on a set of rails. Second would be extremely punitive key junctions, like getting lost in the woods or failing the trial tasks. While I understand these are part of the story, it seems more like a plot armor to relieve workload from the dev at making alternate stories (an idea would be if you fail to complete the trial tasks, it shifts from a harem-bdsm game to mc getting dominated by the mother, etc). Anyway, overall a solid entry, just not my cup of tea, however, anal and bdsm lovers will delight. edit- one thing that deserves additional praise - the UI is FANTASTIC. Like one of the best I've ever seen, everything is perfectly balanced - good color scheme with easy-to-understand stat icons, a good balance between form/function - doesnt have the dumb monochrome flat design found everywhere, but still looks sleek and conveys information. Buttons are perfectly sized, and navigation is easy. If you're a dev reading this - take note, this is what an optimal UI/UX is like.

I have Patriarch a good try, but it's ultimately not for me. The story is written poorly, the gameplay is repetitive, and the sex scenes are 3DCG messes that are neither hot nor inventive. The game stretches too long before any meaningful content comes, and none of that is worth the wait.

Rhino3333 2022-11-24 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Review of 0.10b. I am honestly surprised this game hasn't gotten more attention. It's one of the few "games" here that actually feels like a game. The storytelling is relatively simple, and balances sex with both gameplay and plot quite well. You are clearly not going to enjoy it if you judge it based on VN standards, since it's more RPG-like, with the mc completing quests and leveling up. It is big step-up from the dev's last game (cure my addiction), which had such wasted potential precisely because he wasn't able to fulfill the goals of the leveling-up system, both gameplay and sex-wise. Another point of interest is the story's focus on the concept of desire. So many games on here are just simulators on men (or sometimes women)'s most carnal desires manifested. Even if there's no harem ending, the mc will almost always have the option to end up with several f*cktoys for their pleasure. This game is not much different, but its exploration on this trendy concept of "being a dom" and its various absurdities is noteworthy. What happens when appetites of a dom become unhinged with seemingly no consequence? What becomes of "having too much of good thing" when you are no longer aware of anything other than that one "good thing" you already possess? Would it be a blessing or a curse? This game makes me wonder about these matters that I wouldn't have delved into in any other setting, so I was able to truly step into the mc's shoes and ponder on the dilemma he faces. In the end, all my thoughts form into one ultimate riddle: if a god (or some other omniscient being) literally forces happiness onto you, would you truly be happy? Now the reason I couldn't give a five star rating are two-fold. One is because the game unfinished, and can easily slide into mediocrity just like the last game. The other reason being the spanking. It is unavoidable despite having the option to disable it at the start of game. That is a lie which I do not appreciate. There are so many other potential ways to punish the girls, one of which is literally lying around in the basement area, and the dev just has to force the spanking onto the player, it is a shortsighted decision. That would be all. I hope there are more games that follow the framework of this one without getting onto its train of repetitiveness and forced fetishes.

Overall play down medium level, early very good, late experience is not good. The preceding works conform to the introduction of a camping accident story. In the later stage, it is obvious that the author is confused about the development of the story , wanted to follow the story, but made it into a house sandbox . It has only been a year since the publication of this work, so the author has problems with the story in such a short time, indicating that he still needs to exercise.

tontoman 2022-09-01 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Like many, dropped the score because of sandbox. Not that I hate sandboxes, just not needed. There's no surprises wandering around, no branching depending where you go. Nothing that couldn't be done in a VN choice. If the only thing that's going to happen if you don't chop 10/10 wood is you die (game over), just have a choice chop 10 wood or die. Saves me clicking 10 times. Now if other stuff could happen if you didn't do 10, or moving around triggered a scene that ate time and stopped 10/10. And you weren't sure what would happen if you failed (or how badly could you fail)... then there's a reason and some (like ANY) gameplay type of tension for moving around or making a choice. Otherwise it's move around, talk to X you find in the usual spot, repeat, gets stats, progress. I did like 6-7 days, then just unpacked the game to look at the pics. Nice pics though!

Been waiting for this game from start I played every version of it ( Heck Even BUG FIXES sometimes) Pro's * Amazing ans Interesting Story The story isn't just forced down your throat kinda bdsm where there is alot more corruption going on slowly but surely the character breaks amd becomes your slave or vice versa. It is genuinely an better experience for me that the characters are so much indluged into it they have an actual interest in bdsm for once. * Resource System Having played a good amount of RPGs and alot of them on RPGM. This game sets a standard on what an good survival game should be in renpy like having to collect water and wood and the fact that it has an impact on the game. If you like these type of games that actually go ahead and reward you in like a good way this the game. * Renders ( or even the look of chracters ) Beautiful just amazing they way how the fire is in the tutorial. How the trees like in some games they are just generic textures but here it feels like a great experience to have even in real life. *** All in all love this game how it unfolds*** Con's ( More Personal ) More Femdom Please. I personally like it so yeah if that gets added i would love it even more than what it is. Like how susan was in first game loved her. I adore me some strong women that can take charge for once of the MC. Loved how Abigail did that to the girl in one of the scene maybe more of it for the MC. ( Loved The Bathroom Urination aswell i am kinky like that ) All that said i have been playing even The Gary's Other game ( Cure My Addiction ) since maybe some of the first versions. I am beyond impressed how he has improved and perfected everything step by step. This game is even better.

Only 3 stars, but why? well i could say a lot of positives as they are there, and frankly i love playing the game. But, while playing i get also annoyed as F... (yup i went there, using the F word), i get annoyed because of one simple fact i see a lot in these games. The complete lack of knowlwdge of domination, submission, or even humiliation. it becomes aparant in the way "karma" is used in this game. All forms of dominations you can perform in this game will give the player a negativ karma, the more you do it the more negativ it gets. Which will result in the impresion you are doing something bad and there cant be love involved, even when mother gives the impression it is a good thing. A common misunderstanding by the way, there is a no such thing as negativ karma in Bdsm. A dom/sub relationship is much more close depends more on trust and cant exist without love. The use of negativ karma in this game is a verry bad advertisement for a bdsm relationship, and somehow i keep asking myself if it is on purpose this way.....or ignorance about the subject.

A promising game, I really hope we're in for an interesting adventure as good as the one we saw in Cure My Addiction . I know the author is talented and can do it. As for Patriarch..have been following the game since version 0.1 and so far I like everything, although there are questions about the plot, but I guess we'll find out for ourselves in time. However, I still have my suspicions that the MCs are just being used. Spoiler: game spoiler? And even the final scene of version 0.8 (in the house) hasn't convinced me otherwise. All this talk about family is good, but no one says what happened to the previous Fathers. It probably didn't end well for them. And I wouldn't even be surprised if the forest somehow feeds off the life energy of the Father(s) in exchange for being able to give women everything that is expected of them. Anyway, I'm looking forward with great interest to the continuation of this mystery story. I really liked the previous update (v7), the interaction mechanics in the sex scenes added variety and the animations themselves were very hot and appealing. I missed a bit something like that in this update (yes, you get used to good things quickly and I remember that the same beautiful CMA had almost no animations at all). Nevertheless, I believe that so far v0.7 was one of the best updates in terms of animation quality and I hope that this technical visual level the developer will maintain in future updates. I have no idea what surprises the esteemed game author has in store for us, but it seems to me that Patriarch will definitely need an unruly troublemaker like Amy was in CMA. I realise that the game is at an early stage of plot development and to wish for "anything and everything" on my part now would be naive, but in the future escalating relationships, intrigue, rivalries, etc. could benefit the game. I give this still too young game 5 stars in the hope that its author will be able to write an interesting and intriguing story that is as good as the one we saw in his previous work, the gorgeous Cure My Addiction.

Excellent game, at first I was skeptical, because prologue is rather boring, but the sandbox part is absolutely great! Graphics is good, there is a lot of options. Basically harem with 4 girls. Most of the text is easily skippable, if one doesn't like to read much. Waiting for the next updates!

Justin monrow 2022-08-15 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

V0.8a review - This game has a promising prologue with an intriguing story to say the least in the beinning with stunning female models but it seems that is the only good thing about the game . After a prologue it switches to Sandbox mode , there are games with good sandbox elements which I like but this one is not for me . In this game it's not worth the effort / time spent to continue play with collecting timber , fish , water and grinding to increase our stats and a free roam with timed events , it's all too much stopped playing after playing 2 minutes after that Sandbox got introduced . It would be a good game or at least a decent one if dev decided to focus on the story rather than this grinding sandbox gameplay .

riran 2022-08-15 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Version 0.8a- This game is really good. The animations are great and the models are also great. People who call this NTR don't know what NTR is. This is definitely not an NTR game. In the prologue, you have sex with another guy's girl friend.

halil123 2022-07-14 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

First thing's first there is no NTR in the game. In the prologue a couple invites you to have a threesome with them. That's not NTR, you are literally fucking another man's girl. After the prologue you are the only male around and you are meant to stay that way. If you are into domination, punishment, spanking, bondage, toy use etc. TheGary(dev) is your guy. I have played his previous game and loved it. I must say this one improves upon it. There is less grind, character models and animations are better, and the story progresses quicker.

deuss 2022-07-14 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

It is grat gmae with a grat story. You must not skip the prologue. The beggining of the game is a little bit slow, but after that the story and puzzle keep you in the game. I recon the author of "i cure my addiction" i loved this game. And the new one is the same quality.

SplashCC 2022-05-21 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

This game progresses very well. It has some nice kinks and very good renders. A decent story that may be misjudged by the start. It should be checked by those who enjoy spanking and maledom themes. The Gary improved on his previously work with the well placed animations inside choices during sex scenes that very few author have the capabilities to do.
