Note: I don't believe a complex opinion can be properly represented by a number but I do understand some people are impatient so I don't use the star system normally, my ratings are as follows. 1 don't recommend, 3 unsure please read review, 5 recommend.
Bones' Tales: The Manor does what a lot of standard porn games do, it's the classic Boy fucks entire family story, the mom is reluctant, the big sister hates you for reasons unknown, the little sister is innocent and loves you, the supernatural presence is snarky and the pictures are artsy. ( I hate me for that pun too don't worry) This game while doing all those things the standard way manages to do them better, the characters are each, well let's go with "endearing" for lack of a more versatile term, The story while perhaps unoriginal has it's own interesting aspects and lots of avenues for the story to continue on, plus with the slew of minor characters and one new major character this could be a longer and more rewarding game when it's finished, or the end could be right around the corner, personally I am excited to see it whats next.
One other aspect I really like about this game is how the scenes are modular, and what I mean by that is progression follows a path even if you aren't able to go the whole way down that path for example, start out grabbing lucy's ass then grinding then fucking, It works in such a way that even if you were to just spend 10 minutes maxing out the attributes for each girl at the beginning you'd still be able to see each scene.
The art is somewhat questionable, personally i like it a lot and have no issue with it but it would be wrong of me not to point out that the style simply isn't for everyone and if you aren't a fan of the cover art or sample pics you might not enjoy the full game, then again I was slightly apprehensive at first but as I played it grew on my so I would suggest giving it a try regardless. (lucy best girl fite me IRL)
Probably the biggest problem with this game is the fact that it's an RPGM game, but i can assure you it's the best RPGM game I've played, Dr. Bones seems to actually have an understanding of basic game design and designed the game and the maps around the gameplay of "find girl at right time of day/item or solution hunt". On top of that the maps are small and your character is actually big so travel/load times are short and the layout of the manor is easy to get the hang of. Plus their are some quality of life features that we can all appreciate, CTRL skips dialogue, the player gets a way to summon the one out of the way character to him instantly, the girls have a set schedule and since the maps are small you know exactly where each girl is at almost any given moment.
In conclusion this game rules it has a standard story but a lot of love was put into it to make is shine, the art is great the game play is exactly as complex as it needs to be without becoming grating. The potential is hung and so am I, thanks for reading
