Visual Novels are one of those weird forms of media that find themselves sitting between two other forms of media, those being picture books and video games. As a result, all of them tend to lean toward either being more like a game or being more like a picture book, and My New Family is a great example of the latter. There is basically no gameplay, you make a few decisions along the way, but they all ultimately boil down to whether or not you want sex scenes with a character or not, and there's no other "gameplay". I'm not saying this is a bad thing, some people might prefer it, but its definitely not for me, I prefer something more interactive. Regardless, even if its not my cup of tea, I'd say the overall quality of this VN is pretty good.
