Brothers ~ koisuru oniisama ~


original name: Brothers~恋するお兄さま~
rating: 8

This is my first time playing a game that has sex with women and is designed for women. Anyway the story goes as follows: your mother has a boyfriend who, though look like Urahara Kisuke from Bleach, is a writer with a large amount of children (All sons mind you, which says quite a lot about his hormonal levels). Anyway, the decide to marry and so you move into his huge house, but right after you move the happy couple says they have to bugger off somewhere else (your mom has to visit your grandmother who's ill or something and the soon-to-be-father has to go away doe to some sort of work issues). You are left for a week in a house full of grown up but, in my eyes, slightly hormonally imbalanced males.

The bit before the couple marries and you have to spend a week with the guys is called Prelude. After the wedding if everything is going well then the part is called Suite, if it's not a True Love ending then it's always saved under the name Rhapsody (how do rhapsodies associate with rape? O_0)

This game has two major problems in my eyes:
  1. The artist who did the drawings apparently went to work with a hangover half the time. In most pictures the heroine's face and head did not cooperate, her chin was all over the place. (also the interesting fact is that though the men frequently change clothes, you just run around in the same outfit in any weather and you always have the same pants on)
  1. A LOT of rape goes on in this game. In most cases the rape happens once and then you for no reason whatsoever just run again to the person who raped you giving him an opportunity to do it again, which he does).
Actually on the note of sex two things have to be said: I'm happy that they mentioned condoms, even if it was only two and a half times (I'm not sure about the last one, because the guy did really say it out loud but I got the impression that he used it anyway). I'm not happy about the fact that one out of every two porn scenes the girl was twisted into a weird position. I mean, I'm more flexible than the average lunatic but my legs can't turn that way o_o

On the positive side, I liked one story very much. Even the Rhapsody bit. The story being of the "secret" character Kageyama, who's does EVERYTHING around the house. He's not much of a secret character because he's always there, but you have to play through the game once to be able to chat him up (and eventually have sex with him) and it was a bit hard finding him because half of the game you can't even go to his room or anything.
