Ema intended to live peacefully with them as a family, but the sudden appearance of a girl in an all male household causes discord. Going on with their lives, the brother's feelings for Ema change and the start of a same roof forbidden romance begins.
lord i did not expect that i'd finish this game so quickly but it was probably for the better. there's not much to spoil in the first place so i'm not gonna hold back with this one; brother's conflict passion pink is the worst otome game i have ever played, ever. it's not funny, it's not a good setup, it's not a unique cast, hell, none of the characters are unique to begin with. i tend to gravitate to the characters who don't fall into specific, common otoge tropes and have personalities unique to the game (mineo from cxm, itsuki from norn9, etc) but i can still get by with normal characters, too, if they're well written. the characters in this game are neither. i understand brocon is based off an anime and light novel series, but i feel that still doesn't excuse it. i could put aside how bad the LI's are if the gameplay or story was good, but neither are.
first of all, it's filled to the brim with psuedo incest, predatory LI's, insanely monotonous gameplay, and more incest. i mean, the mc is literally the stepsister of every fucking LI. and the LI's, which range from age 11 to age 28 or so, which is diabolical in itself, all have crushes on her and want to date her. mind you, she's 16-17?
and lord. as i mentioned, you can not only date men 10 years older than you, but also two kids, 11 and 14, which is insane. the only normal LI in the game would have to be yusuke, because he had a crush on the mc since before they became siblings, and they're the same age and in the same class. poor guy. his luck is fucking awful.
despite this, i chose kaname's route because yusuke was shorter than me. #shallow. kaname's route was boring. i really wonder who the target audience of the game is, if any; i have to imagine the devs were trying to appeal to every possible demographic of women, considering just how wildly the content varies in the game. kaname's route was full of fanservice (of him, not the mc) and insanely suggestive scenes, which is whatever, but then to think that the other routes are with, as i mentioned, kids, is confusing. it's like the game can't just pick a side. either make it a cute high school otoge with only the younger characters (like fuuto, yusuke, and iori, who are all high school aged), or make it an adult otoge with the older guys. the lack of any real setting/plot just makes the game feel spineless, like it's just hinging on the hope that the player will find interest in the LI's and putting any plot or cohesivity aside.
all i can say that's positive about the game is that the art style is distinctly early 2010s otoge. it felt like a game tomoko kuroki would play (take that as you will). also, i liked that there was a gender-ambiguous LI, hikaru. they were a crossdresser but from the little interactions i had with them, i found them to be at least moderately trans-coded. i enjoyed the art and i found the mc and her friend to be really cute, i like that there's a kogal mc, but besides that, it was just awful. playing the game felt like a chore, and i skipped through most of it because it was constantly repeating the same scenes for each date/sleepover. don't play this. i only played this game out of obligation for my otogefest.
