VN - Ren'Py - A Perfect Marriage [v0.7.4c] [Mr Palmer]

A Perfect Marriage [v0.7.4b] [Mr Palmer]

"When everyone is against you and your "Perfect Marriage", who’s getting fucked harder-the marriage or your wife?"
This isn't really a porn game where you spam skip through dialogues and rub one and to the moneyshot scenes. This is a slow burn with great writing and organic dialogues, with a narrative building inner voice, which dives deep into the emotional chaos of a young couple, David and Anna, whose seemingly idyllic life unravels thanks to a web of manipulation, jealousy, and conspiracy. If you’re looking for a story-driven experience where choices matter, this is a jackpot.

Gameplay and Mechanics
Classic visual novel setup-click through, make choices, and watch shit go down. But unlike most games, your choices actually matter here, changing how the story twists and who ends up getting laid-or screwed over. The text convos feel real, like you’re spying on some dirty secrets. It’s more about the story and less about button-mashing for sex scenes, which is kinda refreshing for anyone who’s tired of shallow porn games.

Story
The narrative is the heart of A Perfect Marriage. It’s a tense, emotional rollercoaster where nothing is as simple as it seems. David and Anna are genuinely in love, but their world is turned upside down by outside forces hellbent on tearing them apart. Everyone’s got their own dirty agenda, and the game drags you through all the backstabbing, cheating, and twisted mind games. It’s not just horny scenes slapped on a story-it’s a full-on emotional rollercoaster where you actually care if Anna stays loyal or goes full-on slut mode. The slow burn makes the eventual sexy payoffs feel way more satisfying.

Characters
Loved every character as they are well written with a personality and purpose in mind. The Couple develop as you select your paths which may or may not be mutually exclusive to build the story further, the couple being the MCs of the story are organic and have depth to them even if they look banal in the start, The antagonists, which is literally everyone else in the game are also impressive, they add that spicy drama you crave, very realistic atmosphere, where nobody is a saint but everyone wants their toes in the mess of this "Perfect Marriage" for various reasons.

Graphics and Sound
High Quality and pretty renders, Anna looks amazing, from her toes to tits, even the details in hair and outfits are made meticulously.

Great use of sound, very fitting and feeling natural to the scenes. The moans and laughs are over exaugurated, but dont really take anything away from immersion.

Replay Value
With multiple routes, branching choices, and different endings, from pure souls of a Perfect Marriage, or nympho cheaters, you choose and replay for each path. Definitely worth diving back in to catch all the juicy twists.

Personal Opinion
Honestly, this game scratched a weird itch for me. It’s not just about banging hot girls, it’s about the messy, kinky drama that makes the sex scenes hit harder.
Just be patient with the pacing which may feel linear sometimes, but I think the payoff is worth it. The writing is sharp, the characters are memorable, and the drama is deliciously intense. I’m hooked.

Pros:

• Deep, emotionally charged story that actually makes you care
• Realistic, well-developed characters
• Choices that genuinely matter and keep things interesting

Cons:

• Welcome to Blue Ball City
• Not a lot of room for kinks
• Little predictable

Potential Additions:

• Surprise character to make this mess more messy
• Animations for the sex scenes-make it more immersive and dirty
• Side stories or POVs from other characters to spice things up
• More variety in kinks and fetishes to spice things up

Version 0.7.4b Well here we go, a multi protagonist VN with a few different routes and a review from someone who hates the definitions of NTR and who also generally dislikes most NTR titles found in the zone, but can occasionally find a gem in the mix.

I personally dislike cuck stuff and the standard small dick hubby, worthless crap and wife turns cum slut for BBC and blah blah.

An actual story, reasons other than she is pissed hubby looked at someone else, shit - a conspiracy to completely ruin a perfect marriage...might be good.

Very nice graphics, a young couple with a new kiddo and a very happy life, and very much in love. He isn't a cheater and she geniunely loves him. Rare.

Bad guys and girls abound with reasons and plans to fuck the entire happy couple up.

A slow burn yes, not much in the sex - but boy do you feel bad for the couple as the story unfolds. I played a good guy path and you cannot help but sympathize with the shit going on. Those uncomfortable emotions coming out like a good movie where shit is just going bad and you don't see the path out of it for the two protagonists.

So I gave this four stars for graphics, an actual story, tense emotions and a very well done trip so far.

Will it hold, I actually doubt it. The story is set up so far for some fairly serious fucking around by probably both of them as things are being torn asunder - but I actually hope the DEV does the thing you practically never see in any of these games - revenge, redemption, salvation, recovery (well after lots of fucking).

Or the Dev will rip it all asunder the bad guys and girls will win and we have the standard life sucks everyone's a slut and hubby is eating cum from a 60 year old prostitute he lives with, type shit that many folks are fans of ...why I have no idea why being miserable walking out of the theatre is a thing.

Here is to hoping we can have a good movie arc of "holy shit, they cannot recover from all this shit and conspiracy against them...like everyone is against them in this...everyone - too WOW, that was devilishly clever of them, look at that, they saved themselves, took out the bad guys and triumphed....ya like that will ever happen.

We will see. For now, I really enjoyed it, great graphics, an experience, and now I don't think I can every trust my neighbors or best friends anymore.

I really like the progression of the story, how the background of the characters are explored in detail. It is good to see an NTR game with multiple routes where the FMC is not a slut that jumps on every dick she sees. I felt that the much anticipated first seex scene (the BJ in the garage) could have been better. But other than that a good VN with a solid plot. My only other wish is to get faster updates

Story was good but it is totally boring and has missed opportunities. All the flashbacks and text messages get old. This is not a good story teller but someone who is stretching out the plot as far as he can to make story longer which is hurting it by adding B's that is not needed. He should be mr excuse

Nice slow burn... In some parts there a lot of text than required specially with keandra which feels kind of repetitive and filling. Otherwise great and engaging. Gets very interesting from ch 2 from anna perspective although that genre is now new but still the slowburn and character design etc. makes it a lot of work for your hand

I found out about this game in a recommendation by Team Equipe at a PM, on Literotica.
The original story published on that site is awesome, however IMO its development in this AVN goes beyond anything that had been written.
I consider "A Perfect Marriage" a masterpiece and certainly the best AVN I have ever played.
Congratulations, Mr. Palmer and thank you!
I give it five stars, because that is the max that I can give...

Anna is so hot and a great character. I would otherwise give this a 5/5 but, even though I get this is an NTR game, I really think the creepiness of the guys pursuing Anna needs to be dialed down somewhat. It's a little much.

God I hate NTR(and hate the thrill it gives while reading/watching it), but it's a solid game where you really feel all the emotions building with each dialogue and scene.

It's a game where anything that can go wrong, goes wrong, and you feel so angry with the story's progress. I love the story progression and would love to see how it unfolds. I still request and hope that Mr Palmer keeps the NTR avoidable. I would like to see at least one pure and love ending.

I really love the phone chat; it's so relatable
In this game, you really hate each character apart from the MC and FMC. I'm so intrigued to find out how the dev will save the story when literally the whole world is against the couple.

Story - 10/10
design - 9/10
Dialogue - 8/10

Simply put, this is the most satisfying netorare game I’ve ever played on this site.
The game’s polarizing ratings compelled me to leave this review. If you’re a fan of netorare, this is an absolute must-play. I’m not saying it’s the best, but it’s definitely the one that left me the most fulfilled.

I usually browse games based on ratings and tags, but I have to admit, F95 does a poor job when it comes to netorare tags. The biggest issue is the failure to separate netorare from netorase, which, in my view, are two completely different genres. Because of this, searching for netorare games becomes a tedious process of carefully sorting through the options.

After realizing my preference for netorare last year, I’ve played countless top-rated games in this category. Sadly, very few lived up to my expectations—whether it’s poor writing, subpar visuals, or characters that are all just caricatures of sluts and whores. Let’s not even mention the ones that mix in netorase. Games truly worth rating are rare.

That was until I stumbled upon this game. I was surprised to find it wasn’t among the top-rated ones.

I understand why the ratings are so split. It’s a slow-burn game, which isn’t for everyone. But based on the current progress, the pacing feels well-developed and mature, so I didn’t experience much frustration.

Let’s get to the point: why does this game stand out?

First and foremost, the writing is excellent. That’s not to say the author is Shakespeare, but the prose is enjoyable and serves its purpose effectively. This is a rare trait in adult games and an absolute must in netorare stories.

Why is good writing so important for netorare? Because the narrative is the very essence of the experience. If it’s just about the sex, you might as well watch porn—it’s quicker and more direct. But that wouldn’t deliver the same depth. It’s the nuanced writing and emotional entanglement between characters that make the payoff so much sweeter.

Netorare is a delicate balance. If the pacing is too slow, it gets frustrating; too fast, and it loses its flavor. I understand why slow-burn might not appeal to everyone. But without it, how would Anna’s eventual surrender to her desires be so impactful?

Personally, I find the slow-burn just as compelling—if not more so—than the climactic moments. I particularly enjoyed the erotic text messages; they were even more arousing than some of the sex scenes.

For a netorare game, there’s nothing better than a faithful husband and an independent wife with her own hidden desires. I’m thrilled the game catered to my preferences. I felt sorry for David and Anna, but their love for each other—and the gradual erosion of trust due to various coincidences—made Anna’s descent into disappointment and temptation all the more gripping.

Of course, the game isn’t perfect.

I felt the antagonist was too omnipotent, which took away some of the tension. I believe they should occasionally face setbacks, and David needs to fight back more. It might even be interesting to let players step into the antagonist’s shoes, choosing whether they succeed or fail.

Additionally, while I understand the antagonist’s "issues" are what drive her to create such an elaborate scheme, she feels too much like a one-dimensional lunatic. Couldn’t she be given a bit more humanity? Right now, she comes across as completely unhinged. I think there’s room to explore her character further—does she really feel no sympathy for Anna, her “good friend”?

By fleshing out the antagonist’s personality, she would become far more compelling. Perhaps the game could include options to influence her development, such as deciding whether she takes medication or how her relationship with Anna affects her actions. These choices could give players more control over the story's direction.

We already know the antagonist has a clear purpose, so why not let her participate more in the netorare dynamic? For instance, she could face her own challenges—whether bribing someone, being blackmailed, or making sacrifices to advance her plans. Adding this layer would make the game’s concept richer and more diverse without detracting from Anna’s central role.

Of course, I’m not saying Anna shouldn’t remain the main focus! But as the story delves deeper, the antagonist has effectively become the third protagonist. Making her journey more engaging would benefit the game overall.

This game boasts excellent writing and outstanding character development, making its events feel believable. The slow-burn pacing only enhances the experience, and as of now, I don’t see it as a flaw.

If you’re a fan of netorare, you won’t be disappointed!

Simply a very good game with a strong story and plot

Very believable characters with plausibility as well as creative genres. Players invest themselves in the outcomes of the characters and also provokes thoughts about the subject matter

[Opinion Piece on A Perfect Marriage: Version 0.7.3b]
So just spent a good chunk of hours going through the game. Gotta admit, was pleasantly surprised how the game turned out considering that I didn't have high expectations from the cover itself.

**Mild Spoilers Ahead**

Story
You're a young couple, David and Anna, who recently became parents to a daughter. However, life that was supposed to be colourful and happy suddenly takes a turn for the worse when the husband gets "masterfully" pulled into an affair plot. The wife is devastated and what ensues is a constant tug of war between truth and lies, with lies having a far heavier edge.
As of writing this review, the game heavily builds on the character personalities and relationship building with less to no focus on any erotic content outside of harassment, sexting and light sexual content focusing on a singular character.

Opinion:
It was depressive to witness David going through the shitshow that was his life. Like the entire world is against him. I sympathize with Anna too, but David seems like he was getting the flak extra thick from all sides. His Dad let him down, his friends are constantly scheming against him, and don't get me even started on the crazy ex.

Still, a man would survive as long as the wife is on his side. But lo and behold, she has been mind poisoned as well and now David is fighting an uphill battle.

Credit where credit is due, Anna is a pretty well rounded and smart character. I'm currently on David confident and Anna low corruption route, and boy the interactions are satisfying. While she has all the right to be angry and suspicious, your decisions in the first two chapters does wonders to make the couple's bond strong enough to believe in each other more than the third person.

Sexual Content
I did play both pure and kinky routes, and I have to say, I still prefer the confident coupling route more than the cheating couple, just for the story. Don't get me wrong, from a purely erotic factor, it has a respectable start. But for a game that has been in production for 2 years+ the "slow burn" factor comes off strong. Perhaps things will escalate soon? But there are still a lot of ifs and buts about how the story will fold on that front. Until that time comes, I'll reserve my judgement on how good it is as an "adult game".

Conclusion:
All in all, it was a good read but, it has its flaws here and there. Like for example, I'm not a fan of David being too beta in his approach to clear his name even though I nearly maxed out both his purity and confidence. While steadfast in his defence, he does little to project his innocence with confidence. Of-course I don't want him to scream at Anna as I understand her position, but it'd do his confident side more favors if he didn't just always behave like he did something wrong and begging for Anna to believe him.

Thankfully though, there are more pros than cons in this project. As long as the dev remains consistent with updates, I'd say the game would do well if the status quo of an interesting tale maintains. And I do hope it does. Goodluck Mr. Palmer.

Top notch renders, animations and story development. The author is creating numerous interesting paths. The female main character is absolutely gorgeous and has a very well developed character. I think the developer takes a lot of pride in releasing a high quality product over just cranking out sub par releases.

If new updates are very frequent, I wouldn't mind to be a top tier donator. Otherwise, I like the pacing and story, very interesting.

Will update further with seeing how the updates will be.

Thumbs up (just to fill 200 characters)

What a brilliant game. Super hot wife and damn good story. This is not one of those games where the wife just feels horny and jumps into sex right away, the story is progressing at a pretty good pace and even though there isn't much sex yet there still are hot scenes which are again good. 6 stars for Dev's effort and developing this wonderful game.

This is one of my favorite games on this site. I love it. The story is very good, well fleshed out characters and backstory, it has real meat to it and provides engaging content.

The character model of Anna is strikingly beautiful. I love the attention to detail like different outfits each day and at subtle changes in hairstyle and over the years, minor character alterations to reflect aging.

At the time of this review, 0.73, the story does look to head towards a binary type outcome, all or nothing loyalty or cheating. Personally, I would like a bit more nuance, like Anna being okay with a little bit of cheating under the guise of plausible deniability. Maybe that can still happen.

Still, this is a fantastic game. I will likely buy it legit on steam on day when it comes out. Kudos to Mr. Palmer.

If you are looking for a quick fap then you should probably look elsewhere. This game is a slow build for sure, but for those of us who appreciate slow corruption there aren't many other games that can rival A Perfect Marriage.

The characters are very well written and their motivations feel realistic. The dialogue, especially during the text message exchanges feels authentic. Anna isn't an MC who is about to ditch her marriage vows when some random guy hits on her one time. It takes time and the slow erosion of trust in her husband before any corruption starts happening.

The renders are really good, Anna is a stunning MC. Animations are ok, but not up to the standards of some games on here, still good enough to give the desired effect though.

One of my favourite games and would recommend to anyone who likes slow burn corruption games that feel realistic. The last update 7.3 was fantastic and definitly worth waiting for.

This game is absolutely incredible, truly one of the best adult visual novels I have ever played, and believe me, I've played a lot, including many Japanese titles. What stood out to me the most was the sexting aspect – it was brilliantly written, with fantastic poses that added so much depth to the interactions. Typically, I don’t find games without explicit sex scenes, or RPGM games, particularly engaging, but this one really surprised me. The way it kept me hooked was impressive; I didn’t even realize that there were no explicit sex scenes, aside from the married couple's scene. The intensity only grew after the 7.1 update, and I'm genuinely excited to see what steamy moments will come in future updates.

Another aspect I love is how there are only a few characters in the story, but each one is so well-developed and integral to the plot. It makes the story feel more intimate and personal. I’m particularly looking forward to seeing more corrupted scenarios with Anna and other characters – it’s clear there’s a lot of potential for exciting and intense moments.

P.S. – I really hope Chris ends up being her first blowjob – that would be an unforgettable moment!

There appear to be some Professors of Porn and a smattering of impatient Trolls who seem unable to enjoy the delights of this work. To those critique minded individuals I would suggest that quality takes time and if you are expecting Times best sellers you're in the wrong space. A Perfect Marriage is a slow burn VN following the marital break up and the rediscovery of the wife's sexuality. The renders are top notch, Anna Parker being stunning, and the story, accepting that you need some porn logic to engineer some situations, well written. If it takes time to produce well sobeit, this isn't the bland porridge chucked out by the likes of Incetown. It's exciting, arousing and the developer deserves support for their efforts, not criticism (that frankly tells you more about the critic's ego than the subject). Well done Mr Palmer, top notch effort that is well worth the wait.

For an NTR focused porn game that had an initial release in 2022 it's remarkable how little there is. It's all talk and almost no action. Nothing but teases and no real sex scenes. I am baffled how this game gets as much attention as it does. Maybe by 2030 when the game is "finished" we'll get 1 or 2 sex scenes with each guy so I'm sure the "pay off" will be worth it. First time reviewing by the way cause I felt it should be known how terrible this game is. Jesus fucking christ

I like slow burns and this game excels at it, wish it keeps going for the more realistic routes where people don't suddenly change their personalities just for the sake of a sex scene. Looking forward to more
