My turn to review The Guardian! Been waiting since the first announcement for it came out. Overall really liked the game, I would give 8/10 which on f95's 5 star scale would come down to 4 stars out of 5. At the time I'm writing this most reviews seem really harsh for a prologue, hence I added an extra star.

First things first, I must say I find blackheart hotel to be the better game - the story just felt more coherent, and never felt like it jumped to from one scene to another too suddenly. And since I consider BBH a 10/10 game, I felt it was necessary to subtract a few points of the Guardian. Admittedly, I am more biased towards BHH because of the genre but I've given my reasoning down below.

Story - 9/10. I feel I'm being a bit generous here, but I also have a reason why I'm still rating the story for this game so high regardless. The story is actually unique - and no it's not simply just the father/son who has never been near the family for so long that now when he returns he has feelings. The prologue explains why he's even there - to be their guardian - and how he currently does not have any feelings for them. It makes it interesting to see what happens in the future, how he develops the relationships with everyone around. I also like the fact that not every girl is his daughter, which can lead to different types of stories for the step daughters, the girl who could possibly be his daughter and the adopted girl. What's more special is how none of the girls know that the MC is their father - I'm curious to know how the story progresses.

I however do not like how practically every girl is already falling for the MC, give it some time please. I wouldn't mind if it was just a few of the girls but it feels too easy at this point. That's the only reason why I did not rate the story any higher.

Choices - easy 10/10. There are three routes - and having played all three, it seems the dark/most strict route is written the best among the three. But each route has it's kinks, different scenes - just a few so far - all depending on the choices you make. So yes, it doesn't just feel like a visual novel, you can choose what you want to see and what type of route. My preference is the full maledom route - it feels better written than the romance route, but you're gonna like whatever you choose.

Renders - 6/10. I personally like the renders, but comparitively to other games, it seems just above average. The one thing about them however is that the facial expressions are done right. They're done well enough that they express the character's emotions based on the situation and that's a big plus and could boost my rating to 7/10.

Lewd Scenes - 7/10 and I'm being very generous. There is one really really hot scene that completely boosts my rating - you get to secretly get a blowjob from one of your daughters when others walk into the room. Creative idea, really hot. I always thought these were only in brazzers films. One thing I noticed was that there are animations now - some smooth ones and others just basically two still images going back and forth but this was more than good enough. Good job, this stuff is the real reason this category is rated so high.

However, overall I'm actually disappointed in the lewd scenes. Number 1 - there hasn't been any teasing in the game :( Come on Seath, this is a loli game, we wanna see some skin! It would be fun to accidentally bump into them topless or spy on them - yes there is one spying scene but we don't get to see much! Let us see them without a few or no clothes as much as possible, at least that's my opinion :) It would be really cool to walk into them changing clothes or in the shower and them NOT being cool with it, rather than (all of) them being totally cool with it.

Number 2 - I don't know how this happened but the continuity is genuinely terrible in the lewd scenes. I'm surprised to see this in a game coming from SeathBlack. One scene the daughter asks the MC to lie down on the bed and the next scene he's already nude showing his dick at her face with her about to give a blowjob. How did it jump so fast? At least give us some text that she took off your pants or something, it just felt so quick - I might even believe that the game bugged and skipped a few renders but please do something about this.

Positives - 1) A very good loli games - I mean there's like 5 of these in total, only 1 or maybe 2 actually worth playing. Not the 2D ones or whatever. This one has a unique story, animations and is highly worth playing.

2) Variety of women and relationships - There are all sorts of women and girls, each with a different type of relationship to the MC.

3) Various routes - You can choose the type of route you want and get scenes based of that, and it's three distinct routes so you're more than likely going to find something you like here.

4) Frequent updates - granted I'm saying this for literally the first initial release of the game - the prologue. But it's a team of two and Seath has always made renders thrice as fast as 90% of other devs so you can expect quick updates.

Cons - 1) I feel like every single girl is falling for you way too quick. Even India who's supposed to be the troublesome one asks you to watch her take a bath.

2) Continuity in the lewd scenes seems really really poor. Most of the story feels like it's written by Seath, and the renders look like his as well, what is his partner working on? Why does it feel like there are drops in quality here and there, I hope it changes in future versions. This has only been in the lewd scenes and a few extra lines or renders showing what's happening a little more slowly would be nice.

Personal requests - 1) Could an option to set the age of all the girls be added to the game - it would make the game a lot more lewd and fun. Many girls mention them being legal age but still, let us get the option anyways xD

2) Please add some more teasing! Let us see some more skin every now and then, or even as much as possible, and not always with the girls being cool about it.

Overall, fantastic game. Cannot wait for future updates, if you've made it this far then congrats! Go ahead and support it please!!!
