Parental Love

I played Parental Love so that you do not have to! With a title like this, you can probably see from a mile away what we have going on here right? Look, this is fantasy at the end of the day, I get that and it can be fun to play around in a fantasy world, and if you can do that then more power to you. I have a buddy that can pretty much discontent and play any lewd game. I for the most part can do that, but the whole incest thing just never clicks with me, especially when it is done in a way like this.

Making Up for Lost Time

Incest! That is the main thing about Parental Love. Our main character is a father who had many problems and missed out on a great deal of his two daughters’ lives. Now he is clean and sober and they are all going to connect again. The thing with this family is that incest is as normal as playing a game of Monopoly on a family game night! The MC bangs his sister and his kids actually lust after him, it is just flat out disturbing if I am being honest.

Is This Real?

One thing I will say about Parental Love and I could be completely off base here, but this game could actually be brilliant. The reason I say that is that this is so on the nose, so taboo, and just so kind of gross that it is perhaps intentional and it is meant to be some kind of parody? I am not saying for sure that is the case and even if it was, it would not sit too well with me, but if it is then bravo to the developer. However, I may be giving them too much credit.

Nope!

Visually, Parental Love is not a technically bad looking game at all, but one of the daughters is just way too young looking. I had a kind of strained look on my face the whole time I was interacting with her as it was just so wrong! I found the whole premise of the game to be wrong actually, but the youngest daughter was just a step too far for me. Look, I know this is just a fantasy, but it is one that I just cannot get into. Apart from that the game is actually quite well done in terms of the way it looks, but there is zero sound here at all, which can make things even more disturbing somehow!

Going Down That Long And Lonely Road

There are choices to be made in Parental Love and they can alter the direction the story goes in. I give them credit for that as it makes the things you pick actually mean something. However, I have to be honest with you and say that I only played this once as the subject matter was just not for me so I was scared of what the hell else I was going to see or read!

Pros:

• The character renders are well done
• There are choices that you get to make
• If you like incest and taboo stories, you will probably like this
• It does not take long to get to the end of the game

Cons:

• The incest thing is not for me at all
• The youngest daughter looks way too young!

Before I started playing Parental Love I think that I read the description of the game about a million times trying to get my head around it. We all have played lewd games that have strange stories, but this one is truly quite brutal with its premise and as a result, I found this to be a game that took a while for me to actually sit down and play. Also, there is an incest patch that you can get for this which I did not bother with, but it is up to you if you want it or not.

Cocaines A Hell Of A Drug!

The story was quite strange. The main character had a wife called Emily and two daughters, he appeared as if he had it all, but he also had a cocaine addiction. This ruined his life and he was not able to be the husband or father that he should be and as a result, Emily decided that it was best if they got a divorce.

Fast forward many years later and you are chatting to Emily and you decide to try dating her again now that you are clean to see if you can rekindle that spark. Of course, as this is a visual novel, you do not just get to pursue Emily, there are other girls that are here for your attention too.

Doing The Right Thing

Parental Love offers you five routes to play through. While Emily may seem like the right choice, she was your wife and the mother of your children Afterall. You do also have other girls in your life too. Ellie was probably my favorite of all the girls, but there is also Jenna, Sofi, and the way to underage Ada as well. Stay away from Ada is the advice I can give you guys.

As this is a visual novel game, the main gameplay of what you have to do is talk to people and then respond correctly. This is pretty straightforward stuff for a visual novel, but where this game succeeds is by having your choices actually feel like they matter which at the end of the day is all you can ask for from a game like this. The UI is also surprisingly clean and easy to navigate as well which is something I appreciated.

Easy Tiger!

When you look at Parental Love, you can tell right away that this is a Ren’Py game as it has that realistic look to it. As I write this the game is a few years old and it still has a great look to it. Some of the ladies look great, especially Ellie who is super-hot in my opinion! The different locations have that realistic look to them and I have no complaints.

One area where the game is greatly lacking is the sound, there is none! Playing a game like this and having it be pretty much silent can be rather off-putting, I actually noticed the quietness of this game and it did take me out of some situations.

Pros:

• I liked a few of the characters
• It looks great
• Your choices that you make do feel like they make a difference to things
• The UI is clean and easy to figure out
• The game has some good writing

Cons:

• The premise of the story is pretty dark
• I do not like how young Ada looks at all!
