VN - Ren'Py - A Wife and Mother [v0.201] [Lust & Passion]

Seven years ago, this is an easy five star game. Now it's an unfunny joke that deserves the criticism. I'm not sure if it's lesbian addiction the dev has, or if he's just trolling the fans that have been patiently waiting for something to happen for years on end...or the dev is trying to subvert expectations...whatever the case, the game has jumped off a cliff at this point. The slow burn of this story makes watching molasses dripping from a tree seem like light speed in comparison. So many story paths start out interesting, then drop off like the event never happened. This is no longer worth the download

What an absolute joke this game has became, while there will be people that like "slow corruption", this is not it, it's just nothing nada.
SEVEN years i am pretty sure some people have died waiting for something substantial to happen in terms of content.
I can understand making it slow, so you can get the income over a longer period of time from supporters, but the thing is it can be as profitable or even more if content would be available, there is none.
At this point i am convinced the dev is doing it on purpose as trolling for the thousands of negative comments on this thread over the years.
From a technical point of view this game has fallen of a lot, it was something amazing when it was released, now it's average or bellow average since better models and graphics have caught up and surpassed what this game has to offer, this combined with the "slow burn" (read it as no content) bring this game to it's knees.
1 star rating but only because i can't rate it lower.

- Sophia's panic button triggers every time when things are getting spicy
- terrible kissing animation in last update
- boring story, there is nothing interesting here
- music
- endless.. infinite.. slow burn/corruption, no idea how to even name that
- dev's obsession with lesbian stuff
- MC in not beautiful anymore
- too many characters, some are really useless and nobody give a shit about them
- meaningless events created with only one purpose - to slow this game even more

One on my first avns on this site with a lot of potential, turned into biggest joke in this genre. 1 star from me

I rarely leave a review and after v0.201 update I decided to leave one. This game had great potential but it's dying a slow death. I like slow burn adult VN and this game fits my criteria but after 7 years of development the game wanders away from the main storyline.

The main attraction of the game is the Female MC Sophia and her story but the new MC looks ugly compared to the earlier version.

The Dev "L&P" has no plans of completing the game considering the pace at which it is going.

I would have had left a 5 star review 7 years ago but now the updates are terrible.

The content is very high quality, and this should have been a 5* game.

However, after seven years the story is just going around and around and not progressing. The entire game, all there is, is groping. From beginning of game to end. You can count on one hand the number of sexual scenes in this game, and thats if you include the husbands scenes. There are zero scenes of the MC with anyone else outside of a single HJ and a single lesbian scene.


There are way to many characters and side plots that have not been fleshed out in years, and likely will never be finished. Many of the characters are well written, and the models are some of the best in the business. Its a shame that this game is still only half baked after 7 years.

Really good game.... But with major flaws.

Overall, it's a seductively sensual game that has clearly had a lot of work put into it, with a lot of in-depth consideration for the material within it, a staggering amount of dialogue, and the emotional scenarios are often quite engrossing

However. . .

While the game is presently approaching or in its 7th year of development, there are nonetheless only a few specific limited outcomes possible, and NO actual penetrative action for the main character other than with her mostly-absent, seemingly disinterested, and not particularly devoted husband (which is brief, rare, and not particularly interesting), to the extent that the game is really just a tease at this time: it feels like the author is trying to milk the game for as long as he can.

There are no plot lines that result in full-on consummation for the MC outside her marriage, no matter how "filthy" (corrupted) she is, and regardless of what incredibly/stupidly risky/dangerous circumstances she finds herself (or intentionally puts herself) in. There's endless, carrot-on-stick buildup right up to the edge of sex, but it takes forever to get there and it never fully pays off w/the MC herself (tho occasionally it does for others around her). If you're looking to "get to the good part" in a game real quick, this is definitely not for you.

While the ability of the author to keep the story right on the edge of "not fully going there" is impressive, and has its merits, and there are also many amusing scenarios, lots of kinks, and the game has quite a few very attractive characters, the actual payout for the MC is incredibly limited, despite the endless buildup (and no matter how corrupted she becomes), so the game, overall, oft feels like having to take an interminally long walk to go get an unbelievably short drink of plain tap water.

The MC focuses pretty hard on staying loyal to her husband, even though he barely sees her, only sleeps with her once or twice, keeps making excuses to abandon pre-arranged dates and, despite his disinterest, is IMMEDIATELY ready to jump at getting access to a hot young chick via partner-swapping, to the point that he's clearly pushing a seemingly reluctant MC for it.

There's also the fact that in at least two cases (a biker bar and a criminal gang hideout) the MC should (100% certainly) have either been brutally "graped" or at least violently and penetratively groped... But these don't happen. If you're looking for a game where if a girl does something sexually-situationally stupid, she pays hard and long for it with her body and innocence.. this is the definitely NOT the game for you, as it will sail right past that possibility, saying "oh, no: that couldn't ever happen.". You can be sure that if there were tentacle dungeons in this game (there aren't of course) the MC would walk right through them completely unscathed.

As examples:

In the first case, the MC openly says to her sister that the biker bar they are in has patrons of a "grapey" vibe, yet she and her sister (despite being the only females there other than the waitress) then start grab-@ss dancing with each other RIGHT IN FRONT OF the bikers who have been brazenly ogling them: NOT F'N SMART, LADIES! But... of course the bar patrons are all civil,despite their seeming roughness, and everything is for the best with a smile and laugh. All wholesome fun.

Another instance: the MC is basically extorted into coming, somewhat skimpily dressed, to a criminal gang hideout, where she almost immediately gets swarmed and surrounded by horny, violent gangbangers. While the MC actually CAN end up being (lightly) groped, it is only one POSSIBLE outcome, which is somehow 100% OPTIONAL, and she definitely doesn't get "graped", as the violent criminal gangbangers are somehow all disciplined enough to stop when she (and the extorter) tell them to. Because discipline and morality are definitely what one thinks of when one pictures a violent criminal street gang, right?

This all seems incredibly unlikely, and seemingly constructed to avoid going "past the point". For this reason, it definitely feels like the author is doing a constant c0ck tease with the players, and it gets tiresome.

In the second chapter, it seems like the author is starting to focus more on secondary characters which, on examination, looks like a convenient way of keeping the MC pseudo-virtuous while still keeping the game going..

As a general rule, this is annoying, but on the other hand, it did lead to one of the best scenes in the game: the MC's son is getting oral relations from the daughter's best friend... All while the daughter looks on from hiding, fingerbanging herself to guilty ecstacy, as she slowly and reluctantly comes to the realization that she is flatly jealous of her best friend getting to go down on her sibling, and that she wants in on the action: despite loathing him for years, she wants to f*** her brother. Got some next level Kink-Ninja acrobatics going on there, and it definitely works.

Again, despite the game's flaws, I still believe it is still worth playing, as it's mostly quite well made, and suited to do what it does: keep the audience right on the edge.

Some of the encounters are ridiculously amusing, a lot of the characters are almost unsettlingly attractive, and it's incredibly engrossing with an unbelievable amount of dialogue (if you're into that sort of thing of course.). If, however, you prefer rapid resolution, and believe that foolish girls should get their comeuppance for putting themselves in peril, this is definitely not the game for you.

Very nice game ! Hat down !
I will look forward to the next version

Excellent story telling. The creator really takes his time with the story lines. This creates a relatively slow moving story but there is more than enough tension to keep me interested. The renders and the sound are amazing you can really see the creator put a lot of effort into the details.

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.

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.
