VN - Ren'Py - A Couple's Duet of Love & Lust [v0.13.8] [King B]

Amazing, the cuckold story is really well done and believable, can't wait to see where it goes, hopefully Nat will fall deeper down the rabbit hole and truly embrace this. Would love to see her becoming more dominant towards Ethan now that he is official a cuck.

You know what ur doing for sure, keep up the good work!

[v0.5.3]

I'm gonna keep this review short.

The main appeal to this game is in the huge amount of variations possible in the relationship dynamics of this couple. It includes vanilla, consensual sharing/swinging/hot wifing/cuckolding, pressured/reluctant cuckolding, forced cuckolding, openly cheating, secretly cheating, and even breaking up.

As expected, much of the content is in the variable routes and not so much in the length of the story progression. That said, there is quite a bit of content to go through and most people could find some route that suits their interest (although the conditions to enter into a route is incredibly complex sometimes).

The visuals are acceptable. It's DAZ run through some filter. It's not going to blow anyone's minds, but it does the job. The writing, on the other hand, is quite excellent. The dev is an author of many erotic novels and it shows in the writing. The sound effects are great and it picks up the slack left by the middling visual presentation.

Definitely check it out if only to play around with a game that offers a huge amount of freedom in influencing the main relationship.

The game is really good. The story give us another side or risk if we doing a cuckolding. Three routes the dev mention in the game is really make a sense in real life and i know its silly but its also give us some serious shit thinking about being into swinging case. The render is also more beautiful in the following update. Defenitely become one of my favorite games in swinging tag

The choice was presented to me. A test from my wife to cheat or not and while she was unfaithful I remained pure. I stalked her afterwards and shot a nice video.

I'm calling my lawyer as of right now we are gonna nail this cheating bitch and leave her on the street begging.

Really well made game. I like the unique art style, though what really goes over well is the great writing, various branching paths, and regular updates.

A lot of games like this hide the consequences of your choices from you, but this game makes it all really clear with an easy to access stats menu.
I enjoyed a normal playthrough, then looking through the walkthrough to see all the various paths I could take.
And the writing doesn't linger on filler, or rush through the erotic scenes. It's a great balance.

Over all a great title, and I look forward to seeing where it goes.

The game has really a refreshing style and i like the choices to try out different paths with regards to sharing, cheating or swinging. I hope the dev continues the game and keep up with delivering updates on regulary base. The writing is very good and for me i dont need always highly polished renferings and snimations if the game has good choices and condequences in story.

Personally I rate this game 4.5 stars of possible 5. But since there's no 4.5 I give it 4 at this very moment and here's why:

Pros:
- Really good written story
- Hot FMC
- Lots of choices
- Unusual but pretty cool art style
- Frequent and solid updates

Cons:
- Lots of choices (the reason why I put it here as a con, cause it's really hard to get where all those choices lead you. It's not always THAT obvious. Walkthrough helps, but it's really hard to get used to it, prob could be better if you simplify the walkthrough a bit).
- There's no gallery

In conclusion. One of the best games which features those genres and fetishes, definitely worth to play and support the dev. I'm sure he'll make it gold with time so best of luck!

Pay attention to the guides. It's a complex game with VERY different outcomes.
The artistic style takes time to get used to but the main characters are attractive on top of the writing and the story make up for it The script portrays a sense of anxious tension and nervousness in both main characters. You can play the over-eager MC or play it cool, but in the end, you will see your wife banging another guy(s). When playing these types of games you expect to feel uncomfortable with the male MC's angst and anxiety.
Update: The artwork is getting much better and the updates are regularly coming through small they manage to cover 2 paths per update. I'd prefer the husband's character to be more mature but that is my opinion only.
The updates are regularly coming, with focused and progressive steps on the different routes. The story(s) being told episodically carries the players on their respective journeys.
The writing is detailed and concise but be aware the topics being told are not for everyone, with the focus being on corrupting the wife, through differing routes, i.e. cuckolding, possessive jealousy, cheating, etc. There is something for a great many players, but be aware, not everyone will like it.
Update 2:Just finished exploring this game again with different choices/routes, all I can say is that it's very well crafted. The attention to detail given to each path is noteworthy. I was critical before, of Ethen's (male MC) character being too childish and simplistic, but the differing routes expose more of his true nature. Some routes portray him as an immature clown or a complete douchebag asshat, some portray him as a fun-loving devoted spouse with some kinky fantasies. I had to spend time finding that route. There is a vanilla route, to only quell the sh*t-talkers.
Update 3: The story hasn't changed much, although the couple goes through some more adventures and choices for the player to make, specifically Nat's new vocational path. I think it is a way to coral the multitude of potential coding conflicts paring the storyline down with the three routes, Darrel's gym, Jenna's web-cam, and Peter's caretaker.
More attention to grammar and the lovey-dovie banter between the main characters seems too contrived and saccharine-sweet, which makes me want to hurl.
The artwork is improved, but it's still very low-res.
Update 4: The artwork has greatly improved, but is still in the 2D comic style. The dev has introduced a couple of new characters and is exploring some new kinks like semi-public sex. Updates still keep coming every month, rotating between the main paths (Darrel, Jenna, Peter) and sub-paths!

Excellent job.
I was initially skeptical because of the 2D graphics, but I must admit that this game was a very pleasant surprise: the graphics are still very well done, Nat is simply gorgeous and the narration is really well done, managing to fully convey the feelings of the cuckold experience.
With better animations, I would have given top marks.
Really recommended for those who like the genre.

OK came back to see if paths are getting filled out..nope. So my recent update is to simply change this games name from "A Couples Duet of Love and Lust" to..."BBC cucks you", thats it. There really isn't anything else in this of worth.

UPDATE FOR MORE RECENT UPDATES - The original review still is accurate for the beginning states. BUT - for the past updates, 4 or so, this game has gone full cuck and full cuck only. All other paths are dead ends, and the DEV has shown that this is the only path that means anything. So BBC (ya it has to be that) continually and for forever...bangs the wife. Now bareback, oppss, no condoms (so now its cuck the hubby with a preggo) and have him eating the spunk out of her...ya..yippee. If you are a fan of that, this is your game. Otherwise, run away.

Really found this hard to review. So the basic stuff first: 4 stars...but I didn't personally like how it plays out, although not a fan of cuck stuff, this has potential as the female protagonist.

Graphics - great, I really like this style of art

Animations - a few, done well, sex scenes were pretty well done

Time- as of 0.4.7 decent couple of hours if you run through different paths and use the tab button to skip text you have already seen.

Game play - rather confusing, the walkthrough guide pdf is ok, but difficult to follow, and some pretty minor things can lock you out of a entire path. Some of the responses, and replies that send you down another path, don't really match the conversation, so its not intuitive. You pretty much have to dig into the guide and go back redo, back redo...until you get the path you want. Its not a natural path if you are not on a cuck path.

Would be much better with an ability to modify a path within the game instead of wanting a cheat. i.e. - this choice will block you from XX path, choice wisely, or the grayed out choice is for another path that takes you hear...clickable but you are warned your are diverging from a particular path.

As for the idea, I really like female protagonist games, this is a 50/50 type.

Now my tastes - Playing the female protagonist and doing slutty things, or even cucking the husband is fine, especially if he is a dick or cheater, but
this game puts you in both their heads and internal conversations and thoughts...and that puts you into the cuck situation of the male MC. I played many different paths, the romance, the cheater the reluctant cuck etc.

Why does it always have to be a big black guy? Is that the industry standard...that IT ALWAYS HAS TO BE SOME BBC that a cheating wife fucks? Geez mister scary eyebrows dude. If it is all the white dudes need to go on strike. Fuck put a Big Native American in there for a change, or god forbid a white dude. I would actually appreciate a black dude getting cucked and having a small dick for a change...now that would be different. Fucking stereotypes.

Personal viewpoint, it would be better to block you out of one path and only play one person at a time to help with the immersion. i.e. just play as the wife, you can direct if the hubby will cheat or not etc, but no internal monologue or major decisions from his viewpoint. Vice Versa if just playing the guy, major path decisions can be made for the wife, but her as a MC should be locked. It too much to try and play one role as a slutty hotwife, then go over and all of a sudden you are a conflicted torn, angry, cuck. My pervert brain doesn't work like that.

My review is based off the graphics, game play and work the Dev has put in. My personal taste is my own, cuck or NTR from the male MC POV is not my thing. Messing with a cheating husband and having your Female MC fuck the whole town....now that is fun.

*Be aware that portions of this review include heavy spoilers. This is a game in development and, as such, could change significantly in any way.

TL;DR: 3.5 Stars for choices that do not allow for altering your path once started or skipping content; a weak, poorly developed female lead (the wife, Natalie); sometimes unlikable characters (path dependent); ridiculous-sized dicks; and an odd comic-book artistic style choice; Weak faithful path (and getting worse). Very difficult to navigate without a walkthrough. Otherwise, a terrific visual novel! THIS IS AN INTERRACIAL CUCKOLD GAME. Save yourself the heartache if that is not your thing.

A Couple's Duet of Love & Lust is unique amongst a large number of wannabe visual novels (VN) about an adventurous married couple. With five main paths (nearly all of them surround the BBC fetish) this game's reach is ambitious. It falls short of representing a happy couple enjoying hot sex scenes and engaging in adventurous activities. This game targets players who prefer cheating, hotwife, and BBC cuckolding fetishes. No doubt, it is sure to be a winner for anyone interested in those kinks.

While there are paths for random cheating, sharing, hotwife, being seduced by an old man, and voyeurism, only the BBC cuckold path receives the most attention and is fully developed. Most paths contain acceptable stories and fun renders to provide visual support. This game handles each of those situations better than nearly all other games in the genre, with maturity and sexual heat that might make you happy to choose a path you normally would not. (Go ahead! The cheating wife can be really hot!)

And the writing is HOT! The excellent story describes each path. The sexy descriptions are worthy of above-average traditional adult novels and erotica. It is important to note that, due to the early access to a game in development, not all paths are fully developed or have satisfying content for every user.

My major critique of this VN is the hidden and difficult nature of each path. The difference between paths is unclear. The choices do not lead to a logical path. For example, the couple decides to watch porn together on one path. The MC must choose the type of porn to watch in order to open up the exhibitionist path. There are really no clues as to why. The greatest improvement the developer can make is to write a story that more overtly leads to each logical path.

Consequences of player decisions are not always sensical and equitable (Nat, despite claiming how much she loves her husband and values her marriage, cheats with the BBC and then says, fuck it, I'll do a college kid at a bar while I am at it). No going back from those decisions. While this makes a streamlined path to quickly get to some hot sex scenes, it also makes it so Nat cannot change her mind, find some sanity, learn from her remorse, and go back to being a loving wife and couple. (Seriously, how hard is it to just include an option for her to go home to her husband?!) On the other hand, if you are on the reluctant path Nat is given the opportunity to correct her mistakes and stay with Nathan in a loving relationship.

I am most thankful for the loving couple path. It stays true to its name by allowing the couple to experiment with sharing, flirting, exhibitionism, and other nice kinks without destroying the marital bond and love for each other. It does not water down the content; many adult VNs make this route boring and show little content. Although this is the VN's weakest path, the story and art supply a realistic and sexy view of what it might look like in a sexually mature relationship where nothing can alter their love for each other!

Unfortunately, everyone but the husband has a monster cock that would literally kill a man IF they had the blood to even get a proper erection. Lastly, it would be nice to play a VN that does not portray women as mindless slaves to BBC, not to mention most women could never handle these dino-dicks (without major reconstructive surgery afterward). Natalie's character is poorly developed. Most of the story surrounds the husband, the BBC, and a female instigator. The wife is left with the simple desire to need more from her lover. And once the action starts, she is completely mindless and fucks without cause or need (similar to another VN where the wife fucks anything that walks).

Lastly, the focus of this visual novel, the BBC bull. He is written stereotypically and to a fault. He is a predatory ass who records his conquests and posts them online without permission. Thankfully, this is addressed in the game and the reader has the option on how to deal with it. There must be some balance between wanting a bull who cares for the woman he is with without developing lasting feelings. This is not a problem for this bull. He is a player and is always searching for his next conquest for the sake of his own entertainment. I don't find this character attractive or redeemable in real life and certainly don't prefer to see him in a game. However, this is likely to be the biggest draw for players to this game.

So, while the game is slanted towards interracial cuckoldry, there are other, less developed avenues to play and enjoy. Perhaps this will change as the game progresses in development. It will be interesting to see where this couple goes given the author's strong ability to write a compelling story.

This here is a gem of a game!! The story got me engaged from the beginning. While the beginning introduction art seems lacking but very soon the art takes a big jump that looks sexy as hell!! And boy the animations, what can I say, it's just brilliantly well done. In most of the games I have noticed graphics looks brilliant, but animation is a standard single pose animation, but in this game the pace of animation builds up slowly and feels genuine and real. I love the build up of the story and I really hope more intricate focus goes into the details when sex scenes come up, like drooling when giving a sloppy blow job, or hard sex having build up of cum strings.. The sex so far really comes across as wild and I really hope the creator maintains and takes things much further in this story.. Brilliant as of now! Well done mate!!

Critique - v 0.4.7

I've had to rewrite this review since i've now been able to play all the pathways on a working version of the game. When I first played this game several months ago it was terrible, crap art and no sex scenes. Since then it has drastically improved, the art work being the most notable improvement.

The pathways are somewhat limited, currently cheating, cuckold, faithful and exhibitionist are the directions in which this game goes with more of a focus on cuckold.

The pathways are more nuanced that I originally realised, there are your standard routes, cuckolding, cheating etc. However your choices also effect the character's attitudes on the various pathways, some reluctant while others are eager and vice versa.

The development of the plot is a little fast for my liking, more of a build up would have enhanced the emotional investment on my part and made any betrayals/ cuckold scenes sting just a little bit more.

However it's hard to complain as the animated sex scenes are really a cut above most other VNs out there. Sex sounds have also been added to the animations, not just added but timed perfectly with the animation so that when flesh slaps on flesh that's exactly what you hear and see.

The Dev has tried to make this a game with consequences, taking the big decisions out of your hands i.e. if you watch you're wife being groped by the pervy landlord, later when she asks how you'd feel about her playing outside the marriage the answer is an automatic yes.
I don't quite approve of this choice/ pathway development because even though you may like to see men flirting with your attractive wife you wouldn't necessarily want her to visit the local pet shop and play with every python she can get her hands on.

Update - Since the most recent update you are given choices before big decisions as you would find IRL.

To sum up this game has greatly improved with the updates. I'd like to see a sharing perspective added to the game, not everyone is a hardcore cuckold that wants to taste other men's cum on his wife's lips. The animations are top notch, I'd like to see the sex scenes between the MCs get a little hotter as they delve into this new lusty life.

Decent game, fair few fap opportunities.

Models, visuals, story. Everything is way better than typical cuck/ntr games. Could be a bit slow corruption like "A wife and a mother", but definitely not complaining. Looking forward to future updates. Keep up the good work.

Reviewed v0.3.5.

A little gem of a game with something for everyone. Mostly geared towards NTR and NTRS (netorase), I think, but with a nice vanilla path as well.

Visuals: Let's start with the most contentious part of the game. The art won't be for everyone, but it is enough for me. The dev admitted that he didn't know anything about rendering and didn't have the hardware for it, so the first version looked on the rough side, but as time went on, you can definitely see he got better at it and the visuals improved while keeping the distinct style. It grew on me and definitely did not stand in the way of enjoying the game. In fact, I like it. Gives the game a bit more character. One star.

Gameplay: A surprising amount of choices that all affect various triggers, the effect of which you can see at any time in game by pressing the Stats button. These stat combinations affect what route you get on and what scenes you see, as you'd expect. I like flexibility and being able to see what the game has, so I make a lot of saves for various points. Don't think I've had this many saves for a game this early in development before, which is a good thing and leads to the next part: the game has a lot of routes. Several, I reckon, with different ways of getting on them. I've only played the NTRS and vanilla, but they were both pretty well done. What's interesting is that vanilla path, usually the red headed stepchild of these games, adds exhibitionism play to keep it from being dry and boring. That or some breeding fantasies, I think. Either way, you can play the way you want and get somewhere you'll enjoy being at. One star.

Writing: The star of the show. You know the author has experience in writing erotica. It's not dry or overly verbose, the plot moves at a good pace no matter what route you're on and you can tell there's a clear plan where the dev wants to take you. The character interactions are a joy. I particularly loved the NTRS path. The wife is hesitant, but curious. The husband is supportive. The main "bull" is not coercive. No blackmail, no humiliation unless you specifically want it. You can preserve the love between the husband and wife and really get the feeling that they're having fun together without it turning into unwanted NTR. I love that. One star.

Characters: Here we run into my first complaints, but also compliments. The compliments are about the main couple: they act like real people. Again, mainly about NTRS path. There's desire mixed in with hesitancy from both of them. They're curious, they want it, but neither of them wants to ruin what they have. Both are completely open with one another and there's some gentle encouragement from the husband. Another thing I like is that you set the broad terms as a player and the characters function within in while still retaining some agency. The wife won't ask for permission for every little thing, she will be naughty on her own without breaking any rules the player has set, which is again something I love. Makes her feel like an actual character but also keeps the player involved. Hope to see her suggest more things to the husband and them both having fun with it.

My one complaint is about Darrel, the main "bull". He's a stereotypical fetish bait: a hulking black guy who works out before working out and has a comically large dick that in reality would rip a normal woman up and send her to the hospital to get stitches. It's the low hanging fruit of these games. It is offset by him having a personality that seems fitting to his role and yet knowing his place in the overall framework. Again on the NTRS route there's no coercion or blackmail, he's encouraging and knows when to push, but also when to stop. He's not a terrible character, but I just wish the developer would have been a tad more original. He's shown to be capable of it, so why reach for the trusty trope jar right off the bat? Leave that to the amateurs and hacks. I feel like the game could be even better if the dev added some more varied potential lovers and wasn't afraid of going off the beaten path. Maybe in the future updates? Darrel being the safe starting charater until the game expands and adds more options? One can hope. One star.

Updates: Pretty frequent (once every 2 months or so?) and the developer is active in the forums, which is a nice touch. Gives me hope for the longevity of the game. One star.

Total: 5/5

Overall a great product that is well worth your time if you're into the specific fetishes, but maybe even if you're pure vanilla, since all content is avoidable. For the latter I recommend waiting for a bit for the game to get more content before checking it out. Either way, the game is more than worth supporting, if you can. I wish luck and resiliency to the developer and can't wait for further updates!

Best NTR game out there (I am not prepared at this time to take a position on the great NTR debate but this game meets even the strictest NTR standards) presents a detailed and convincing cuckolding environment in which the MC's attitude makes all the difference for each out-of-wedlock experience.

Great pacing and development of relationships. A true variety to the pathways and very interesting, unique and sexy artwork. I am looking forward to the next update with great anticipation. I have played through this game multiple ways and multiple times already on v.3

Good writing, unique art, and an interesting story. This game feels more complete than may games that have been out for years. Didn't run into a single bug or anything that brought me out of the story. The only thing missing is more of this excellent content.

We found this game really good, nice surprise...
It has a lot of promise.
- different routes always make it fun
- well written
- room for paths to develop
- we enjoyed the animation, not usually a fan of the comic, but this was excellently done
Keep it going and great work

I love the game. The routes are not always easy to play, but with a little patience you can get there. The best route for me so far is the "Cheating Route". I hope we see some beautiful creampie's between Nat and Darrel in the future.
