VN - Ren'Py - A Perfect Marriage [v0.7.5b] [Mr Palmer]

i like the slow burn even tho it dragged for a bit too long. I'll be following this game to see the possible endings. I'm not yet decided on whether i should save the marriage or destroy it lol. Or make it open or something

Nothing, it's been three years since development began, and not even the developer's premise about the slow pace of the story and updates can justify the game's current state. I have to say that the story has become much more focused on how many cuckolds Anna will cheat on and how many men she will fuck. Instead of the initial premise about the couple and their problems, we've gone from MC and FMC clashing to FMC being a slut. The graphics haven't seen any significant improvements, many games still have obvious bugs, and the audio is ridiculous. I think three years is a good time to evaluate, even though the product is still at a 35% stage, which is the worst thing of all.

HARD PASS FOR ME!

Wife is a whore... even if you play her pure. Even when you factor in the frame job done against her husband she is sexting with his best friend from the get go.. and even when you reject all the would be suiters she lets them feel her up and fails to smack the shit otu of them.

She should be able to knee that mother fucker Cris in the nuts when he puts his hands on her in the baby room..!!>>

Even with the lack of sex ( only 1 short scene near the beginning ) This would be an interesting story if the wife could "REALLY" reject these ass hats...
OR if there was ZERO story from the husbands POV.... If the Husband was not a POV character I would enjoy turning the wife ( as the sole POV ) into a real whore... ALternately.. having the story told from the "Other Guy" perspective ... as long as there is POV from the Male perspectve getting cheated on.. it's a NO!

It's slow but the story telling is amazing. I feel invested in each character. It's hasn't had a H-scene yet but God damn the build up is soon good and tense. One of the best if not the best avn I've played. Cannot wait for the story to continue.

Story works. MC looks good.

But there really is no excuse to inflict players with constant flashbacks, dull monologue, repetitive dialogue, just to drag out play time. In the last update v0.75a, a significant fraction of renders were just duplicates with slight adjustments repeated over tortorously stale dialogue. That is just stuffing the game with low effort renders with no payoff.

great story, great animations.
This game is the best ive played so far, a bit slow in its updates, but really captivating. The slow degradation, and the unavoidable corruption is magnificent.
Recommend to anyone.

Very good game. excited to see what direction they take next.
Like to see the Mc have some more options and recovery pathways if possible. Even though you know there is an influence behind everything forcing them into peril lol

Unfortunately, the dev is way too mediocre, which significantly affects the game’s rating… it takes him almost a year to release a new update that barely offers five minutes of content, and even then, he has no problem charging $3 for his cheapest subscription, always coming up with excuses like being sick, not having enough time because of work, or even that a hurricane hit his house…

Awesome renders and story but the lack of sex scenes is out of this world,the pace is the slowest i've seen in this forum.it's gonna take 5 years to have interesting scenes on this one. if you want sex scenes,you will be disappointed.

If you don't like sex in games, this game is for you. This one is long blueballing, the updates are far between and consist of mostly fluff. each update doesn't last more than 5 minutes. Usually its 3 Months between updates so 4 updates a year of a total of 20 minutes gameplay. You do the math if you think its worth to sub such a game.

Review of 0.7.5a (focusing on NTR/cheating)

tl;dr - A good game, ruined by a slow burn that means there's such little adult content it's almost not an adult game.

Pros :
1) Good renders, attractive models
2) Well written
3) Decent scenes
4) Lots of cheating content from the PoV of the wife

Cons :
1) Too much verbosity in the writing. It feels like a novella with the sheer amount of writing in the game - not necessarily a bad thing, but :
2) Too little actual adult content. I found a single blowjob, a couple of handjobs and mostly groping content in the game and it was lacklustre.
3) Very little actual netorare content. The majority of the content is from the viewpoint of the woman in the relationship and about her decisions (or not) on how to deal with her husband cheating on her and whether she's unfaithful or not.

---

Overall a well made game, just with little adult content (not enough for my liking) and a little too much writing (that I ended up mostly skipping through).

If that's your kind of thing, you may enjoy it more than I.

The game is excellent but developer takes too long to provide minimal updates. And there is no communication from the developer. So all in all, its a shame that such a great game is about to lose all itscharm

Slow burn that went too far with teasing imo. Basically zero sexual content after 3,5 years of develeopment and over 10 hours of playtime. The story and renders are decent but not good enough to make the game worth playing now.

In current state, I wouldnt recommend this game to anyone who seeks a good h-game.

Its version 0.74 already, so there IS a lot of content, but still almost no H-action despite constant hints and minor messes in this extreme slowburner.

You will read about 8-12h, you will enjoy it and as soon as you think you finally made it through the very well executed introduction and background for the lewd stuff FINALLY to begin it is...over. This will propaply be a 5/5 when its finished, at the moment it is just not there yet and if you don't want to tease yourself with reading a dozen hours without getting rid of your blue balls you might wanna wait for some later version before starting to invest the time.

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...
