A Mother’s Love [Part 1-8](PC)

A Mother&s Love

The Plot :

Many adult visual novels have no narrative to speak of, and many others come saddled with a convenient plot that permits the characters to interact and develop sexual relations with one other quickly. A rather popular premise is for a father figure to pass away, forcing the female characters (no one has a brother apparently) to become emotionally reliant on the protagonist. Even if these games can be enjoyable, they lack agency. In A Mother&s Love, the conditions under which sexual encounters happen are more purposeful because of the context.

Nicole doesn&t want you (MC) to date her daughter, Chloe, anymore because she considers you to be a negative influence. She tries to bribe you into leaving the relationship with monetary gifts. However, her suspicions about you are confirmed when you ask if she can strip instead. Due to the subjective nature of your contract, you&re allowed to constantly push the boundaries and lewder actions from Nicole in every ‘payment&. Eventually, the lines between you ‘forcing her into sexual acts versus her desiring them& start to blur. This process isn&t just a by-product of Stockholm syndrome and mind corruption. The nuances in this game allow you to pick between treating Nicole like a human being or a toy. You can see a visible change in her facial expressions the second you choose to stop being an asshole.

​

The Characters :
As the primary love interest of the main character, Nicole bears the burden of having to carry large chunks of the plot. I&m happy to report that she&s up to the task. Nicole Heavens is what writers call fleshed out. She can be timid, yet resilient. Weak, but forceful. Stubborn, and still willing. She represents the complex nature of actual people. Her concern for her daughter&s well-being is real. Her self-consciousness after years of emotional and physical neglect is real. Her smile, her touch, her movements ALL feel real. A story cannot be engaging without compelling characters. Nicole delivers. Although, the other female characters (namely Chloe and Marilyn) mainly serve to fill the void every time Nicole is out of sight, they remain interesting in their own right.

Marilyn is also in love with Nicole, and her ability to see your memories by touching her body borders on erotic fantasy but doesn&t venture into the non-sensical. Chloe is so sweet that you feel like the world&s worst boyfriend for cheating on her with her mom. The nurse, Abigail, is seductive and it&s unclear whether she will eventually become more than just a temptress, but it&s a nice change to see a game where you can flirt with a female character without necessarily having to sleep with them.

Another female character, the MC&s mother, exists solely as a supportive parent, just like the father; it&s ridiculous how foreign this concept is in this genre. I don&t have much to add about the male characters, except that they all have their own wrinkles in the story as well. For example, Chloe&s father, John, is extremely sexist and a poor excuse of a husband, but actually happens to care quite a bit about his daughter.
