Reviews:

Overall not a bad first impression but I can't say that I am blown away - yet.I am usually trying to state my personal opinions in a "what I liked" - "what I didn't like" fashion. I think it is too early for this approach because there is not a whole lot of content. So I'm not going to put in a rating but instead here are a few bullet points in no specific order for the dev if they feel like reading them.The English is not super bad but not good either, could use some proof reading by a native speaker. Also random switching to Spanish. Also, who is Juan? Or Ella? Sometimes the text is attributed to the wrong person (MC instead of a lady). Sometimes the customized relations are disregarded. It looks like there is some cleanup required.There is no clear distinction between the spoken sentences, the thoughts or the exclamations. All blend together in a stream of words. Give your - in this case - readers a clue about wtf is going on. Yes, I can infer from the context but it makes for a tiring experience.Little sis goes from "working together in silence and ignoring each other" to "I trust you, big Roommate" within a very short time span and that makes it very implausible.You may want to reconsider the way that you define the relationship at the start. It is obvious what you are going for but when you put in the relationship of your choice - no judgement here - capitalization or not, could be relevant. Also dark font on dark background is not pleasing to the eye.Text boxes and standard renpy menu overlap at times.I don't know on what planet cooking would be taught at a university. Don't get me wrong, I adore good cooking and it takes a good deal of training, knowledge, skill and inspiration but academia is not the place unless you want to dig into food chemistry.Maybe just my personal preferences but some of the models are hideous (like Victoria) and some are very nice (like Maria, yum). The 3 main ladies are somewhere in between.

Developer Notes:

We are creating the game “The Family Sin.” This game will have several chapters
[This first version is NOT Chapter 1.]
The game will not be divided by chapters; instead, we will continually add content to each version to advance the story.

This game features high-quality renders and animations.

The base story of this game is almost finished. We only need to adapt it to the visual novel format, which means creating the renders and animations.

A new version will be released every 2 months depending on the time it takes to render.

If you want to know more about this game or stay updated on news and progress, I invite you to check out our Patreon and, soon, our Discord.

Conclusion:

The Family Sin is a high-quality project with candid content and a plethora of secrets to be discovered by the protagonist, both visually and in the story. Recently, he and his family moved to a completely unfamiliar city. This is a quiet place, far away from the hustle and bustle of the capital, but the ancient and rich historical relics seem simple and boring. The protagonist soon begins to notice the strangeness of the locals and some inexplicable events. It triggered a series of events that resulted in unexpected and unpredictable consequences.
