VN - Ren'Py - A Perfect Marriage [v0.7.1b] [Mr Palmer]

Great NTR premise, great art, very well paced story and corruption arc, good english, overall good writing. Can easily become one of the best VN-NTR games. Has a lot of potential. It's still in the beginning though. And we have yet to see.

But for whats there its definitely a 5/5 atm.

update (v0.7b):

I will just post what I wrote in the thread:

Too many antagonists got introduced in the last few updates. Hope this is not turning into AWAM or even worse: each antagonists corruption progress and storyline become too shallow. Rather give me two or three different antagonists with 20 scenes each, then 10 antagonists all with 6 scenes only. Sadly I dont like the direction development has gone in the past few udates. Hank hasnt even shown up since 4 updates or maybe even longer, not even sure anymore.

Here's the problem with a storyline like this;
We all come here for one reason, and that is to see Mrs. Perfect, Mrs. Goody Two Shoes, Mrs. "But I love My Husband Too Much!" finally giving it up and spreading her legs for every guy in the neighborhood.
And once that's done, we move on. Good night! Lights out. Onto the next game.

So the LAST thing a dev using this type of storyline wants, is to give us what we came looking for, or his or her game would be over. The project would be dead.

As hot and enticing it is to see a hot wife turning into a slut is, it's also inherently a blueball simulator. A storyline like this can only leave you frustrated.
I stopped playing after I had started smashing the spacebar to finally! get to something worthwhile, instead of the endless "No! We are just friends!" which gets old rather quickly.
The setup and graphics are done well, but it inevitably failed to deliver what I came looking for.

Loved it, actual believeable writing instead of the usual day one BBC insta-corruption just add pervy landlord nonsense. That chick was corrupted to begin with if it was that easy dudes, you don't need a counter on your game.(My sarcasm refers to weaker plot games that flood f95 not this gem by the way)
I was sad when this finished to be honest thanks for the quality story+art..... and I saw the Author asking on patreon which side story most interests people for future content....For me it would be the guy with Anna's Father's Fortune and the weird maintenance man. Yeah I have a thing for the ugly underdog getting lucky, sue me... Especially if they are defiling unattainable princess's ...atleast its not incest again right>?

It's a very good VN, with a great story.
The FMC in this one is one of my favourites from all the games I have played. Definitely, everyone should give it a try.
There's no hardcore NTR or cheating scenes yet, but I'm hoping that it will be soon enough.
The dev, has an update cycle of every month which IMO is very good, given the quality with which he/she delivers. But if the updates are big, this period may vary from 2-3 months which is also not bad.

I wish the Dev best, for the future updates, and really thank him for puting this much effort into this game.
All the best!

Sorry i tried to like this but seriously just another unbelievable story. Sure the visuals are sorta nice and you can tell the author is trying to make this a believable story but failing badly. I mean if your just looking visuals and hopes for some decent porn later down the road you might get lucky but as of right now this is not worth playing. Also it's pretty linear story. I would pass this one up.

A Perfect Marriage [0.6.3]

How great is that title? A stunning MILF realizes her marriage becoming more and more bland as life kicks in with everydayness. The husband is working too much, an old friend gets cocky, her boss very demanding, the new collegue is just a little too good to be true and a female friend is pressing her to be more open to her needs. All that reeks of lots of corruption and depravity.

It's one of those blue-balling slow burners. But this one is well written and believable. I didn't skip most of the texts as usual. The renders are also great and the MC is a real beauty. Don't expect a lot of fap-material yet, though.

One of the better stories. Absolutely worth watching. I can't wait for the next updates...

Very well written and realistic story and characters so far. Great renders and character design. Hopefully the stellar writing continues and the game doesn't go off the rails with cliche ugly old man content.

Hands down one of the best Games on this site.

The story is captivating, sexy, humorous and emotional.
Lead, Anna is gorgeous.
Dialogues are well written and specially the chats are something that you'd not want to skip.
Updates are although short but frequent.
Overall a perfect Marriage is a perfect game.

+ The writing is great
+ Beautiful wife model
+ Game with great potential
+ Characters are reasonably believable
(villian acting like Gollum. That easter egg was funny)
+ The build up to NTR is slow and believable
+ Decent renders


- Choices got less impact. Didn't seem to change much (maybe will effect to future episodes)
- Some thoughts and dialogues too long.

I loved game bcz i like the slow burn pacing and soap opera games. ( ''if'' with good dialogues and good writing)

It turned into a soap opera. Not worth it. I expected better characters from this game. Although, the male protagonist was decent, the female counterpart doesn't even feel like a character. The villain is comical. I hoped that it'd be something like Scenes from a Marriage, except what I got was a

Has the potential to be one of the best cheating/NTR games on this site. The dev has clearly given significant thought to the story and characters. The relationships are all meaningful and give significant context to make the cheating exciting. Finally, the model for the wife is beautiful! All the people complaining about pace should direct their attention to the dev's own words that realism and pacing is important to him. Also, the game takes place so far only from the husband's POV, but we will soon see the wife's in the next update.

All the best, really hoping this game turns out good!

Playing on v0.5
The game is just insanely slow. Very few important events, all you'll see after 5 updates is one pair of boobs. It's not an insanely complex set up, the situation is quite common on this type of games, characters are kind of being idiotic clichés, and when anyone but the wife/husband try to trap them you can almost hear an evil laught in the background.
Visually it's not bad, but nothing to praise either, and again no action so nothing much more than two dudes having a drink in sofas of different locations (70% of the game, MC and his "buddy" are the main characters right now).
Maybe it will become a great game after a bunch of updates, but right now, after 5 updates I don't feel more progress than on most games that got their first release. And the anouncement at the end saying next chapter will be the wife's pov just means nothing will happen again, just a different person trying to f*** up their marriage.

I really enjoy this VN, it's sexy in ways that most games are not. The writing is great, and upon further playthroughs I have noticed things that foreshadow stuff, that happens later on. The story seems really well thought out.

There is almost no sexual content (ver 0.5). The choice has almost no effect on anything. The author does not develop any parallel paths, just adds minor nuances to the inevitable outcome.
The author calls his development of slow burning, but it is more like regular milking. "Spicy" texts would be interesting if they were accompanied by appropriate graphic accompaniment. Tentatively, this will probably be playable in the second half of '23.

This is an unusually excellent VN if you're a fan of NTR. If you were hoping for an equally fleshed out purity route, you may want to wait to see if that plot gets expanded later, or simply move on.
It's definitely a slow burn, but that is honestly a plus for me. A common issue I have in corruption/NTR games is that the woman at the heart of the story is either already corrupt and just waiting for an opportunity to fall prey to someone, or changes instantly from a perfect angel to a whore. This game is giving a slow breakdown of her character. Obviously there are some cliches, and the wife doesn't make totally realistic/pure decisions (otherwise the game would never go anywhere) but she is much more realistic than most corruption/NTR games. The character motivations are very reasonable and relatable, at least in comparison to the majority of other games in the genre. This semi-realism makes the NTR much hotter and is the primary reason I am so excited about this game.
The renders are solid, not a lot to say there. I do think the women are hot and the facial expressions/poses are good. I haven't noticed any unnatural limb angles or otherwise surprise sharp edges on a human body. There is some variety in the men, not all the men will be ugly bastards, not all of them will be more attractive than the husband, there is a selection of both. We haven't seen too much in terms of what the sex renders will look like yet but based on what little we have seen I think they will also be above average.
The plot, as mentioned before, has cliches. However most of them simply set up common NTR tropes. A big part of NTR games is the buildup to the cheating. If the wife cheats out of nowhere in an unexpected manner, there isn't a build, and the payoff suffers. So the cliches, while lacking some originality, assist the player by signalling whom the wife will cheat with or what difficult situations will arise to split up the marriage, etc. I will say that these are similarly handled in a way that is somewhat believable.
As an example: the husband's financial troubles is setting up an issue for the family which will cause the wife to need to provide more income than before (or at least her income will be more critical to the family finances). I picked an option to have the husband not tell the wife right away that they were in financial trouble. The motivations were reasonable, the husband didn't want to worry the wife and wanted to see if he could resolve things before she even noticed. The wife finds out eventually and, in a stroke of writing genius, doesn't immediately fly off the handle and fuck every guy in a 10 mile radius. She is angry at the lack of transparency but understands. This doesn't split them up immediately, it plants a seed that can be expanded on in later plot points. It sets up problems that the writer can increase in severity later, and their trust is being tested, not instantly broken. This also serves to heighten the buildup for the player.
I am overall very excited to see where this goes, this may be my favorite new game of the year (new to me at least), and it certainly is in the NTR category.

Really good writing, makes you feel immersed in the story. Gorgeous wife model, and I like the slow burn pacing. She's not a brain dead bimbo that instantly gets on her knees, like in some other games. You can just feel the slow corruption seeping in. In my experience it's rare to find games of that quality, so I had to drop a 5 star.

Also, some of the 1 star reviews are just intellectually dishonest, don't listen to them.

Currently on v0.4, can't wait to see what's next.

TLDR: A game with great potential, but with serious problems that hold it back.

Plot: Fairly standard corruption game, those around a married, attractive woman take advantage of her and seek to corrupt her. It's what I like and what I'm here for. I have seen some reviewers complain that the choices of the wife don't make sense and I disagree. I think if you carefully look at the situation the wife is in, it explains her actions (often overexplains see below). There's moments where the story builds great tension that I don't want to spoil, for being a standard corruption plot it's artfully done at times. Pacing may seem a little slow, but that's only because of....

Writing: It's frustrating. Mechanically it's great, no spelling or grammar issues. There's even moments where it's quite clever and tantalizing. But most of the time it's remarkably repetitive. There's a long background section at the start (fair enough the game leans into the character's history to develop the plot). However, it is then largely repeated by character monologues. There will be four screens worth of character thoughts that are then perfectly summarized in a single line of dialogue. This need to overexplain makes the game hard to get through and robs the writing of any nuance (no, in this day in age you don't need to explain to consumers of a adult game that "come" can sound like "cum"). This game is badly in need of an editor.

Renders: Good quality, but not uniquely great. The scenes are well designed, clearly a lot of care went into making them. An opportunity was missed in making a possible love interest for the husband into the same curvy, pear-shaped, model as the wife. A more athletic looking model would have given us some variety.

review v0.4

Pros

• The writing is solid (most of the time)
• The graphics are decent
• The music is great
• Characters are reasonably thought out/believable (not always, though)

Cons

• It's just too cliché. Every male in the game is a sick pervert who's only purpose in life is to fuck the main girl (Anna).

Random thoughts

• More than half of all the text in this game is the thoughts of perverts, of what they wanna do to Anna. If this is your thing, fine. I found it rather disgusting.
• The constant messaging between Anna and Chris wasn't really plausible and believable. Broke immersion.
• Tried different choices and their outcome. Didn't seem to change much. Really scared this game is railwaying into one path while giving the illusion of choice.

Contemplative ending thought: I find it very strange that when you have one obvious main character (Anna), you don't get to make choices for her.
Imagine a game where you play as the male protagonist and you don't get to make any choice for him. It's just weird.

Fans of corruption games will love this, I hope however for something more than just that. Especially since the writing isn't that bad.

Update- The latest chapters are literally nothing sandwiches. She is still texting Chris, it is still the same level of nothing content, and it hasn't evolved since the second chapter.

Now, I am going to give you two stars for the story. It is awful and moving at a snails pace. It says a lot that the most exciting parts about your story are relegated to text phone messages.
Yes, tension building is fine and dandy, but your story, in 4 chapters, hasn't had a single thing exciting happen. Not one.
I wish I could give you a higher score, because games like these are few and far between, but look to games like The Adventurous Couple, which does a great job at building tension while still providing some action.

This game is definitely going to be great in the future so far only the taunts are perfect style corruption but not any one is a corruption that you know will be much better than the others and several games are delicious it has a lot of potential the theme is amazing the only problem is that there is very little content and exactly no nudity but i understand it is the beginning of the game i still hope there will be lots of teasing and wild sex with Anna and her future lovers and i would love to see her squeezing her breasts full of milks to have that kind of scene will be very sexy because she just got out of a pregnancy i love pregnant women and with huge boobs hehehe I highly recommend it for those who are new you will not regret it is an amazing game even though it is still young.
