Did I play the wrong cheating path?

As I often mock those who complain about it - I decided I'd try to to see what all the fuss is about, so I did.

I wonder if I picked a wrong variable somewhere because frankly it wasnt that bad. Sure, there's the webcam fuck scene with more humilating dialogue than the hotwife version, and the ending (Bryce? Or was it Johnny, i get the kiddos mixed up) fuck with mc watching, but that was pretty much it.

Hell playing Badik and getting rejected by Maya/Josy feels more of an ntr sting than this.....

I would like this 10000x times if i would.... I'll never understand why these games with cartoonish bolt-ons get any traction over something that resembles an attractive girl in the real world....one makes my dick hard other doesnt.
I think most of the people complaining about it, are just looking to get triggered, as I said earlier. They want to get upset, so they play the path that will get them there. Then they get to become keyboard warriors and show everyone how Alpha they are. But those of us who actually have lived a life know better.

I can understand the wanting to get the plot flushed out and understood before opening it up to choices. Most games that are choice driven seems to lose the plot within the first few minutes because they focus too much on the choices, imo.
And, it's a nice change of pace to have the characters more natural looking. Hope y'all keep up the great work. Seems to be gripping right now.
We are trying to! Hope you enjoy the rest of the game, and I look forward to hearing what you think.

a character, if told badly, destroys the whole plot, having created a bad and bitter Mary has turned the beauty of the game upside down, the Devs continue with this fairy tale, that Mary's reaction is justified, nothing could be more false, you can't to say that you were an evil witch is then to say that you did it out of love, the two things are not compatible, and this makes the twisted mind understand, I kill you because I love you. What a delusion
I am guessing you have never been around real people. If you think people can't be vindictive assholes, who think what they are doing is 'out of love' then you need to get out more.

I have known countless women who's boyfriends/husbands beat them, cheat on them, abuse them, and she keeps coming back for more, because he says he loves her. I have known several guys like this as well.

yeah I played it and honestly don't see it as a big deal anyways. I have yet to see how it plays out in this update but I checked out the "game over" people complained about not ready to play the update just yet. I don't see the big deal of the whole "game over" thing, it just takes you in another direction of branching for the final update and ends the update quickly which makes sense , since this game is about Fred and Mary not just Fred. Not like Fred is building a harem or has a second secret girlfriend all of his cheating was a fling and nothing serious. Sure they could of spent extra time to show scenes of him kicking Mary out and packing her bags small things like that but wasn't needed either and waste of time especially for a path they didn't want to introduce to begin with.

also simarimas not sure what kind of game your next one will be but if it has some similar elements to this one if I may id have a recommendation even if it's a bit early since you still have Chapter 6 to create. If it has NTR and you handle it the same as this one where it depends on how often and how many times the MC cheats. I think it was a bit of a missed opportunity in this game on the cheating path that all the times Fred cheats was a fling but never had a secret girlfriend. Tho that might of been a bit to much out of character for Fred to have such a path all the same I think that could of been an interesting alternative path on the cheating branch.

in all the scenes, where Fred cheats on Mary, I've never read a speech where he humiliate Mary,
humiliation doesn't have to come from just speech but action can be a form of humiliation too. There is even dialogue where Mary says it is humiliating for her. Now im not defending Mary's action or anything on the cheating path but the humiliation is there. Granted more so for what Mary does to Fred but from Mary's pov it is as well if you read all of her dialogue and not skip over it because you dislike the cheating path granted it's not nearly as bad as what she did to Fred.

if I compare real life with your little game, then I think you are the one who doesn't live among people, you created the character, no the world out there, you criticized me for my review, you read the way when I started that review, I only saw the little star. maybe you should have a bit of a social life, because if a person tells another that they love them, and then acts like a bitch, humiliates them, because they want to hurt them emotionally, then, it's not me who has problems with reality, in all the scenes, where Fred cheats on Mary, I've never read a speech where he humiliate Mary, you wrote the plot, we didn't write the NTR story, maybe you need to understand the line between reality and video, a drama like that of Mary, in real life, has only one path, divorce, and you implemented it in the game, but then you tell us that since it is a couple's game, life must continue, so who created the confusion, us players, or you creators.
Hey newbie, go play the sims or something pg, this game is not for you and

If you go to loverslab.com, then your PG Sims isn't PG anymore. LoL. But I agree with you. That person is just looking for a gripe. I'm not anywhere near the paths yet, but it appears to me he or she is just complaining to complain and just to fill the page with their "NO-NTR!" rhetoric.

Again, most people consider swinging to be NTR. Whether they see your dev notes in time is irrelevant. When you tag a game, you're tagging it for everyone who sees the game. In fact, a lot of people would download your game and then be pissed off, if you didn't just happen to have it tagged "NTR", because swinging doesn't necessarily apply to the protagonist's wife. It could be some minor character or even the protagonist himself - which is not NTR.
No, most people do not consider swinging to be ntr. If you went up to a person on the street (and had the requisite conversation about what this silly ntr term actually is with its japanese roots), and asked them if that was the same as a swinger couple, they'd laugh if they were still listening.

Why do devs have to kowtow to this loud group of perpetual loners online? I'm guessing nearly no one in this group actually subs.

yeah and said NTR path is his own damn fault for playing that route if he really dislikes it so much he could of gone for the hotwife path and not cheat or just ignored this game lol

I know I'm a bit dumb but are people really surprised that if Fred cheats that Mary would too?
Personally, I think it's awesome that she doesn't just do brush it off and forgive him if he continuously cheats.

It makes the choices feel even more important.
100% agreed - even if I'm sticking on pure romance paths I'd much rather there be negative consequences for picking 'negative' choices, makes one's decisions feel impactful. The opposite of this, sadly the norm, is where mc can creep, perv, and philander as hard as he wants and it makes no difference, making those choices feel irrelevant.

Nothing annoys me more than the creepy rapist looking MC's you see in so many games. It's really a turn off for me.
Oh, like in all those harem games? Where the women just accept that it's ok?
Another reason I don't play those sorts of games much unless it's for some hot lesbian action but that doesn't always happen unfortunately.

Anyone would laugh and/or be disgusted if you asked a question about cuckoldry with a straight face. Most people are naive to the term "NTR" (lucky for them), so they'd be completely bewildered if you specified NTR. But if people were forced to give an honest answer about it, the average person would consider cuckoldry, swinging, and all of the various synonyms to be the same thing. 98% of people would never let their wife/girlfriend "swing" because it's the same thing as cheating to almost everyone. Any sane person would be pissed off and jealous if their wife had sex with another guy, regardless of the context. It's only a small niche of terminally online copers like yourself, in specific threads of specific forums, who are trying to insist that one of these synonyms is outside the umbrella of cuckoldry/NTR.

And it is the overwhelming majority of people who are disgusted by these fetishes. Devs are not kowtowing to anyone by putting NTR tags on games that have NTR. Or maybe if you don't want games to be tagged with "NTR", they should make a new, lengthy tag, like "Most people would be extremely disgusted by the content found within this game".

Well... The thing is. Swinging is both. Cheating is just one. You can't swing if your just one person. So I don't see swinging as NTR. Any sane person would say this, i think. To me, NTR is not just cheating, as seen in the eyes of the anti-NTR people. It is anyone who has ever in their lives had sex with someone that is not the MC. So, even the MC's mom would have committed NTR because she had sex with the MC's dad to create him and his siblings (if there are any). Which then would make all games NTR games. This game would be counted as NTR if the MC messes with the neighborhood women, as they are married and have had sex with their husbands. That is, as I said before, if it isn't Swinging.

No. Absolutely not. I adamantly reject this hypothesis.

Most people off the street definitely do not use cuckoldry and swinging interchangeably. If I told my friend or girlfriend "See that couple over there, they're actually swingers!" her reaction would be like "OMG weird!"

If i told her "Yeah that couple over there, the guy is a cuckold and she fucks around then tells him about it" she'd be like "OMG that's kinda sad". Totally different things.

Ironically, off the street people would be much more LIKELY to equate terms like "harem" and "sex slave ring", at least in the modern day context where the former regularly occurs.

I don't know why I'm getting goaded into this debate, ill stop now, the game has both swinging and netorare tags, so frankly I don't even know what we're arguing....both are there in broad daylight, but you seem to be saying one shouldn't be there? or the tags have no use? I dont know, and I shouldnt care.

Oh so you're just replying to comments without any idea why they were made in the first place. That's not my problem. Go back a page or two if you are confused. Surely it will take less time than typing 200 words.

"If I told my friend or girlfriend "See that couple over there, they're actually swingers!" her reaction would be like "OMG weird!"

If i told her "Yeah that couple over there, the guy is a cuckold and she fucks around then tells him about it" she'd be like "OMG that's kinda sad". Totally different things."

That sort of casual broaching of swinging/cuckoldry strikes me as really unnatural. I can't imagine anyone talking like this. Even just trying to talk about it in a forum like this is pretty odd. Swinging and cuckoldry both go against the most basic instinct of a human.

And I'm sure if you added on "and his girlfriend is pregnant with some other guy's kid" her reaction would be a lot different. But that doesn't mean that swinging, or god forbid, "normal" cuckoldry in general are somehow not cuckoldry now. Swinging is not as bad as the second example you gave, but it's still NTR by definition, because it would illicit jealousy in the vast majority of people.
