VN - Ren'Py - A Wife and Mother [v0.200] [Lust & Passion]

God, it's a mess. And honestly? I don't care anymore. This game and our Sophia are lodged deeply in my limbic system. During game's development I had married, I changed jobs, I moved countries, I've seen glowing peaks of joy and crumbled under stress into darkest depths. Yet Sophia was there all this time: she changed multiple times, like we all do, following illogical and irrational whims. She wanted to appeal to everyone and in the end nobody liked her.

Sophia's character reveals a meta-tragedy of a developer who started with a vision and then lost it, painfully, excruciatingly slowly, over large swathes of time. Their life over the years probably changed dramatically too, yet this one BURDEN of a game still drags behind them like a bloated corpse. The writing doesn't make sense anymore, all routes are compressed and suddenly move at lightning speed (oh, the irony) using the silliest premises, using any premise, really. Game's in-story timeline is just maddening, if you didn't experience its development timeline of months and years of waiting, of living your complicated messy lives.

Sophia emotionally whores herself 300 times a day now, yet blushes at the sight of a cock. Time skips and flash-forwards don't exist anymore either, developer doesn't allow any moments for a breath, for reflection: there is just one singular goal of dragging the corpse further. And further. And then just a little bit more. Anyone unfamiliar with the game who would play it whole in one sitting, will just scratch their eyes out. And in their newly found darkness, they will see it for what it is: broken mess of unfulfilled promises and an ugly monument to sponsors-driven development economy. When you allow audiences to vote with their wallets, it siphons the creator dry, making them a desperate rat pushing levers with heroine water. Making the fucking content. For everyone to enjoy. For everyone to hate. This what happens when you just. don't. allow. things. to. end.

It's day 21 for Sophia. while I got gray hairs already. I will grow older than her soon. I was so happy to see her . Maybe it means that the end will come soon. One day, she will be free of this game. Oh, Sophia, I hope you will.

Best game out there. Maby slow update phase and too many branches, but excellent plot and very sexy women. I like the slow burn and that Sophia gradually submits to her inner libido away from her boring husband. Too many side tracks makes the update speed very slow. Excellent renders.

best of the best
This VN is attractive at the level of a series with a score above 9 in IMDB.
Because very small details are observed in it

The only problem with this game is the late update, while the path of corruption is very logical and slow.

In fact, the main problem is the development of the game as a single-person.
Because by observing this volume of details, one cannot expect an early release the updates from one person.
I think that the single-person developer has used all its power and he cannot release a high-quality product faster.
I don't expect the developer to sacrifice quality for speed.
But I think he should advance the development process in the form of a multi-person team
Maybe it can use artificial intelligence.

Overall, speeding up the release of updates is critical. Because we are really approaching the middle-aged and this game is still at the beginning.

This gets 5 stars for the plot and gorgeous renders and loses a star because of the extremely slow update schedule

One of the best looking characters on this site -- but soo slow

interesting story and good gameplay

The game is just draggy and has been this way for over 4-5 years. The story and character progression is extremely slow. One good event followed by a year of dud shit. Too many characters introduced for no reason. Would have been better if they kept one lead instead of entire family having their own arcs and only to become exhausting to play.

I went into this game blind and could tell right away that it was going to be a slow burn sort of deal. I dig that, I love a good story, so I invested myself into this game and I eventually became quite captivated while playing part 1.

I spent HOURS upon HOURS reading dialogue that slowly became more tedious and bloated over time. Many times I came across spelling errors or odd word choices, but explained it away as the characters misspeaking so as not to break my immersion. I endured countless plot threads and characters, some more interesting than others, thinking that at least some of them would eventually lead somewhere.

They didn’t.

After what must have been 20 hours of playing, part 1 abruptly ended, and I ran here to this forum find out wtf is going on with this game.

After reading many reviews, I concur with what many of them are saying. This game takes slow burn and delayed gratification (which I generally enjoy and look for in a game) to unbearable new heights. The plot threads and characters are numerous and interesting, but none of it ever comes full circle. Ironically, the only actual sex MC ever sees is with her husband by being a ‘good wife’. Otherwise it’s just relentless teasing that never comes to fruition.

I won’t be playing part 2, at least not until it’s finished, however long that may take. Maybe it’ll be better by then. Idk.

Comparing this game to another game with a FMC that deals with corruption takes the definition of "slow-burn" to a whole new level. The writing is okay but there's a lot of text in dialogue and choices that make it feel bloated a lot of the time.

Not to mention this MC is a living definition of a prude and overthinks everything because she is married. The only real sex scenes you get within the first couple of hours is with the husband (which it becomes obvious he's a cheating sleazebag using his power to get into his model's pants very early in the game) and the rest is teasing with underage-looking boys and girls.

Recommend avoiding this unless you're really into the concept of FMCs and want to experience a more mature one. Otherwise, it's pretty boring and a slog to get through.

When I came across this game I absolutely loved it. A beautifully rendered 'wife and mother' in Sophia with just enough naughtiness in her to make the slow change from boring housewife/teacher to the woman we all wanted her to be.

The shower scenes with her daughter raised my hopes and expectations but after that it all fizzled out. Same with the initial run with her son, all that subtle and not so subtle flirting and showing off, again it all led to nothing. And the same again with all the other women she came across, lots of flirting, some touching and kissing, then... nothing. After seven years of development there should be something to show for all that.

Instead, what we get is update after update giving us a confusing expanding character count, multiple paths that lead nowhere (at least yet) and an increasing amount of time being spent on the nasty people she meets at the school. While that may be what some people want to see, I have no interest in it so for the last few updates I haven't even bothered to download the thing after reading other people's comments. Makes me wonder what the plan is for Sophia. Is she going to become the city slut, pimped out by her students? I really hope not, that'll be turning what was such a great start for the VN into a boring generic fuckemall-fest.

I really don't know where the dev is going with this. It's shooting off in every direction except the one I would like to see, it seems. It almost feels as if the dev has decided not to have anything incestuous in this game and is hoping the players will forget about the promising start.


Pros (for me):
Nice looking almost believable characters (at least at the start)

Cons:
It's taking 'slow burn' to stratospheric new levels
The story's all over the place, I have little idea what's going on with Sophia now
Too many characters, some of them taking the game in the wrong direction as far as I'm concerned


Overall a great start for Sophia, was definitely a 5 star rating. But it very rapidly lost all sense of meaningful direction and has been meanering around pointlessly for years. As a result, I've dropped my rating down to 3. Was going to be a 2 but I still have a sliver of hope left that her son and daughter will get back into the plot at some point before I get too old to care.

I really wanted to give this five stars but the first season is really, really slow in fact the only sex in the first season is one quick one with the MC and her husband. The renders are pretty good and the plot itself is very interesting. The semi sex scenes are really hot they just left me unfulfilled shall I say. The mom and daughter scene in the shower is really good but left me wanting. Season 2 looks to be much better now that the groundwork has been laid and right off the bat there is some sex but there isn't much season 2 yet so keeping my fingers crossed .

I have never seen such a snobby MC in AVNs. She gives an impression of 60-70 year old woman, honestly. She thinks about every little thing which most people would not even pay attention to, and it results in a ton of unnecessary and utterly boring text. While the novel itself looks good, it just is not very pleasant to read. It seems that author's idea of "good wife" is not a human being at all, but some kind of obsessed servant and an impulsive bitch

Very good game but the only thing I don't like is that you play as the mom (female protagonism)

A game that well written were you would be the son would be way better.

The 3d Models are getting a little old too but its to be expected from a game that is not that new.

I don't really get how Patreon allows them tho, weird.

Good game overall.

AWAM is a challenging game to review.

If you have never played this game before, or your new to VN porn games in general, this game is 5 stars and one of the best games on the site. Graphics, writing, corruption and believability of scenarios are all S tier.

If you've been following this game since 2017 ...7 years ago!! Then this is a disappointment.

The problem with slow corruption games with no sex at this stage (not even a drunken mistake) .. is by the time sex starts to happen, the mom will be banging 3-4 different people a day as the developer tries to close all the paths that are open.

What this game really needs is 1/4 to 1/2 of the characters removed (put them in the next game). Does the developer remember there is even a good wife path? Probably not, cause there are too many plates in the air.

A disappointing - 3 stars.

Honestly the writing and graphics is dope. Pretty good flow. Love the big stories instead of just mindless dog fucking. But boy o boy, fuck the dev for milking the balls and wallets of the very loyal fans who didn't give up on the game for all this while. I was one and I am happily out. Fuck you bro, this shit ain't cool

The first part was around 4 for me, mainly because of the slow corruption and the general narrative flow, but now I understand it was always an uninspired game with the illusion of something bigger.

And I can't bring myself to rate this game higher after I played the second part: everything got so much worse except the renders, and I got the feeling that it's going nowhere. There are too many characters now. Focus lost completely. The second part felt so uninspired, so bland, that I don't even want to think about this game and just want to forget it exists.
Updates are also rare and contain almost no actual content, mostly renders - doesn't look like a full-time job at all. Overpriced development hell it is.

Edit: I thought a bit more about this game and I don't see a reason to give it 2 stars just for the pacing, pacing alone isn't worth much. So I would like to change this rating to 1 star.

My score is 3.5 but Ill round up to 4.

There's a sweet spot where lewd content (i.e. corruption) seems to be best. It's different for everyone I guess, but Id say the vast majority want it to be. Not too slow and not too fast. This one is slow. Too slow IMO.

Positives: Story is generic and that's fine. Renders are good and there is a vast number of characters within the game. Most seem interesting.

There is a lot of black screens and cuts which I found annoying but I got over it.

Final thoughts, it's a good game.

It feels like this game is underated a little bit now. Yes it has a big flaw that its taking the slow burn aproach to the limit, but its still way above average on this site.

There is a decent amount of content that has been produced over a long period of time. Just dont expect any truly hardcore content any time soon.

Story 4/5 , Originality 4/5 , Renders 5/5, Animations 4/5, Amount of content 3/5.

Im looking forward to how this progresses over the next year or two.

Used to be a great game pioneering this industry. Now its bits and pieces unfortunately. Hope it will develop again towards the right path. The last few updates are so small that its questionable why they get released. Maybe the element of pregnancy could alter things to the better.

The game currently in development is a disappointing endeavor marked by a series of fundamental flaws and missed opportunities. From the outset, the narrative appears disjointed and uninspired, lacking the depth and coherence necessary to engage players. The promised immersive experience falls flat, as the storyline fails to create any meaningful connection with the audience, leaving players disinterested and detached.

Visually, the game struggles to meet contemporary standards, with subpar graphics that undermine the potential for a truly captivating gaming experience. Clunky character models and lackluster environment design contribute to an overall aesthetic mediocrity, failing to provide the visual allure that modern gamers have come to expect.

Gameplay, touted as innovative, feels stale and derivative. Repetitive mechanics and uninspiring challenges contribute to a tedious experience, leaving players longing for the creativity and excitement promised in the pre-release marketing.

Perhaps most frustrating is the plethora of technical issues plaguing the game. Glitches, crashes, and long loading times disrupt the already lackluster gaming experience, further exacerbating the disappointment of those who were hopeful for a polished and enjoyable release.

In summary, the game in development is shaping up to be a lackluster and underwhelming addition to the gaming landscape, failing to deliver on its promises and leaving players with a bitter taste of unmet expectations.

They should stop working on it, it's so horrible. You need to wait 3-4 months on average to see 5-10 minutes worth of content. There has been 0 oral sex, let alone normal sex with any character in the game other than her husband. The story started out to be good and worth the wait, now it is dumb, and no action.

The buildup in this game is amazing, I loved every moment of it. The graphics are very high quality and all the women are beautiful, and there are many choices! The writing really puts you in the mood and is very thoughtful. The pace is "slow" but for me personally it's perfect!
