VN - Ren'Py - A Volatile Marriage [Ep. Three] [Sinful Secrets Studios]

Bruce Lee and her wife... MC is a fighter, and ugly bastards surround her wife. It's not a bad game, but a slowburn. It has fine renders and animations, as well as a good plot, but it's one of those AVNs where you need to wait around five years to make it worth playing.

The Bad: A Narrative That Fails to Build

Despite the promising reviews, the story lacks any significant escalation or build-up, even after the third episode. The "slow burn" feels less like a deliberate pace and more like an absence of plot. With no engaging hook or character development to latch onto, I've lost interest in seeing what happens next.

The developers need to understand what makes a "slow burn" work. In other games, the scenes are filled with enough heat and tension to keep you hooked and guessing.

The "spark" in this game is missing because the hot moments are all wrong. Random molestation by ugly, old men isn't intriguing—it's just gross and frustrating. The story needs to introduce tension with characters the FMC might actually be attracted to, like husband's best friend or a handsome love interest.

Imagine if Husband's best friend, during a comforting hug, subtly coped a feel, creating a mix of betrayal and confusing attraction. Or, what if a massage from someone she's drawn to starts to feel too good to refuse?

These scenarios create internal conflict and spark. In contrast, the current pattern of being assaulted solely by "ugly old farts" is a major turn-off and fails to generate any compelling drama or chemistry.

The Good: A Visually Appealing Protagonist

The one consistent positive is the female lead'. She is a really good-looking character, though her haircut is a questionable choice. Fortunately, she is most often shown with her hair tied up—a look that is both stylish and far more better than her awkward default hair style.

1 star for the good looking wife.

An okay game. Nothing really special, but not bad either.

On the good side of things: The corruption is slow burn, and I really like that. The models are nice; on the good side of the spectrum compared to other games, definitely.
The UI is also good. A thing that many developers using Ren'Py seem to ignore. IT MATTERS.

Now for the bad things...
The grammatical errors are just too much. It doesn't take that much to run the text through a corrector or even ask AI to fix what's missing. And the mistakes aren't just a few. They happen constantly.

The story is... okay. I wouldn't consider it bad, though it does feel a little far-fetched sometimes. Still, it isn't really advanced enough to criticize it too much. I'll say it's average or "good enough" for now.

In conclusion, a game with a possibly good future. Nothing special so far, but it is on the right path and just needs some polishing. Hopefully, it won't be abandoned.

Definitely one of my favorite corruption games. The fmc is sexy as hell. The animations in this game are amazing. Renders are also great. Still in its early stages but definitely has potential. If you enjoy ntr games then give this one a try.

A Volatile Marriage [Ep. Two]

I enjoyed this game.
The MC isn't weak or a cuckold, unless the player wants him to be.
The FMC isn't an idiot, although her mindset during sexual encounters could have been better.
The animations are very good and fluid.
Some of the renders are low-quality, perhaps because the latest version was heavily compressed.
The story is tense and not boring.
It has a good sense of logic; while there's room for improvement, it's not nonsensical or laughable like some other games.
One thing that needs improvement is the facial expressions; I think each character has only had two or three so far.

Overall, it's a game with a great deal of potential. Because of that potential, I'm giving it a 10 out of 10 instead of an 8. I hope the points I've written are taken into consideration; I don't want to lower the rating of a game I have high hopes for.

It's a blessing in our lives when we play a game where the developer cares about how we can play better while relaxed. If you don't understand, I'll explain:

Menu: In addition to the ease of increasing or decreasing the opacity of the text box, I can also enlarge the font and change it to any color I want (it's rare for games to give you this option).

The game doesn't give you a wall of text to skip; you can read calmly; the developer is efficient in not tiring you out.

The graphics are excellent, the characters are cute, and the wife is beautiful and hot.

And the story is good; it follows the scripts of other games but follows the best scripts, which makes us happy because it delivers on its promise—a beautiful NTR game.

Great start to a familiar trope. There are a lot of games that play in this wheelhouse so you're basically getting more of the same - but that's not a bad thing necessarily.

If you like "loving couple" style games where you get to play as both characters and choose who does/doesn't cheat, you'll definitely enjoy this title.

The text and dialogue are especially impressive - definitely better than average. The graphics are serviceable. All in all, it's a strong beginning.

Personal opinion: The visuals are nice for an introduction, the story starts off interesting, and from my perspective I think you did a good job using the male perspective and his own actions. Hopefully your next story will be interesting and not too easy and boring. Thanks

VERSION: Ep. one
SUMMARY: Pretty decent starts, but looks a bit outdated
RATINGS: (out of 5):

NOTE: The following categories and scoring method are my own criteria and may require more context. Additionally, scoring is based on the state, and what is in the current version and not what may or may not be.

1. Model Visuals..................... : ⭐⭐⭐⭐
2. General Visuals................... : ⭐⭐⭐
3. Animation Quality................. : ⭐⭐⭐⭐
4. Character (Persona)............... : ⭐⭐⭐⭐
5. Story Quality & Pacing............ : ⭐⭐⭐
6. Writing Quality & Dialogue........ : ⭐⭐⭐⭐
7. UI & Game-play Mechanics...........: ⭐⭐⭐
8. Playtime & General Quality.........: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
9. Sounds & Music.....................: ⭐⭐
10. H-Content & Fetishes.............. : ⭐⭐⭐

Average: 35 of 50 possible points giving a 70% rating i.e. 3-4 stars.

PROS:

1. Models look really nice, the designed well and shapely, the MC himself does not look half bad either.
2. Animations are very nice, the movements and such are very fluid and stylish, they sexy and done damn well.
3. Choices are nice, they seem to matter in this that the player can avoid NTR and cheating for both MC and his wife or not. Not sure but seems that way.
4. Writing is decent, structured and reads well.
5. General mechanics are fine, nothing out of the ordinary, you have all the options that VNs have and you need.

CONS:

1. Grainy renders are not good and don't make the game feel any more realistic, it simply looks low quality.
2. Seems like a story done many times before, there are plenty of these to go around. It is still early so maybe more intrigue follows (plot around father?)
3. Some choices make no sense, like the first choice of the game is a game over if you pick the wrong one. Why have this?
4. No sounds at all, this game/VN, needs sounds, ambient and lewd scene specifically. Music does not count as sounds and nets few points IMO.
5. Regarding the dialogue box, I am not really impressed with this, its too high into the screen and blocks much of the visuals. It can come lower and smaller text would also work to fit dialogue.

FINAL REMARKS, OPINIONS & SUGGESTIONS:

NOTE: The following remarks are my personal opinions and thoughts, which may provide more context and could be useful to the developer.

• Choices are great and all, but why do devs often give a choice that goes nowhere, the very first choice of the game you either continue the game or have happy ever after scene. This system is so stupid as players were obviously want to take the play the game option that continues the game. Not 3 scenes ending...
• Per above point, the fact that the MC choice to lock the door or not has such a major impact is flimsy, a locked door should not make any difference in this context. The whole thing is clearly orchestrated and planned. What are the odds someone walks to your front door, opens the door, takes exactly the write "clothing bag" with your cash and leaves all exactly when the MC leaves and wife showers. Its too planned and desperate for my tastes and not tactfully done, which would create more intrigue. Besides why would a locked front door deter or stop anyone who is clearly on a mission? Makes no sense, flimsy.
• These lewd scene animations are very good, they don't have all the nice angles or close ups but they do have style, sexiness and they done well, having good quality sex sounds, moaning etc would make these of the best scenes out there.
• I get that there is this thing called motion blur, film grain effects, like white noise almost just visually, but the grainy and blurry renders just do not work for me. They look like something from 1990s and while I get the idea I think the dev was after, to make it almost more realistic aesthetically or maybe the animations broke when rendered better IDK. It just doesn't look great IMO.

TLDR:

I think this is a fairly decent game, has good content, albeit not much right now, but it has a bit of everything, lewd, intrigue and plot. It has good visuals, at least for models and its animations are brilliant in terms of quality. Some choices need a rethink IMO and renders need clarity and not the blurry graininess that it has right now. Lack of ambient and lewd scene sounds are the biggest con for me, though some others are on par with it. All round its a good start and done pretty well.

No sound, the game ends upon a 50/50 choice. if you choose the wrong one. The game feels 10 years old. Needs re-work before being acceptable. Seriously, the game ends if you don't choose the one option from the first 2-choice option. It's that bad.

Love the game. Good story. The wife is stunning. I just hope it will be about the wife only, not other girls. Let's see how the wife will be corrupted. Best wishes to the developer. Just one thing the scenes look a bit dark. Best wishes and good luck

Promising start. Would love to see how the plot evolves. Looking forward to blackmail / forced sex, lesbian scenes. The animations in the first release look good too. The dev has potential. All the best to the dev!

Well done for your first game i see many postive points.
The character look good,the wife and females side characters too.
Unlike a lot NTR games u didn't try,to turn the wife to instantly slut wich it is a huge turn off.
Advice try to avoid cliche like BBC,isn't everyone cup of tea.Try also to avoid forced scenes,as it seem the weak the points in a lot of NTR games.
