Note: I don't believe a complex opinion can be properly represented by a number but I do understand some people are impatient so I don't use the star system normally, my ratings are as follows. 1 don't recommend, 3 unsure please read review, 5 recommend.
I need to make some information known before anyone reads the rest of this. I don't normally play female protagonist games, nothing against them on principal but I prefer the standard male fantasy type stuff, but I wanted to try this because why not try something new, ya know? I am also not into cheating as a fetish generally but I decided to ignore that and try to play this from the perspective of a women and I'd argue that perspective alters the fetish somewhat. Finally I need to make clear that I played this slightly wrong. Apparently I had an old version downloaded and played through that, then tried to download what I thought was the rest, ended up downloading chapter 2, played through that then went back and finished chapter 1.
Any who, with all that out of the way, A WIFE AND MOTHER. . .
This game has really good visuals, the art is top tier especially for a 3d rendered game, I could understand playing this for the art alone.
This game has a lot of story and character depth, one might argue too much, while I think the writing is at best slightly above average, quantity can still be enough for some people, and it took a lot of effort to write that much and I must commend the game for that.
This game has sound.
This game has a flowchart style of gameplay, very similar to your classic japanese visual novel style games, where you basically get a ton of seemingly innocuous choices that actually have a major impact on the story. I have learned from my time on this site just how much I hate that style of gameplay, There are games that do it well and have the choices determine the "kind" of play through you want to see as opposed to choices determining if you achieve fucking anything at all. This is unfortunately the latter.
I played this game straight for about an hour and a half, at some point I got incredibly board of the walls of text and next to zero sexual content and I started getting skippy, just skipping past the wife's internal monologue justifying why being a total slut is okay constantly. After another 30 minutes of nothing happening I just started skipping through willy nilly, slowing down at any point that might get sexual and eventually I reached the end without the wife character having sex with anyone but her husband, and hey that makes some sense but I didn't exactly pick this up to be faithful to the husband character I mean what weirdo is doing that play through?
Then I looked at the gallery and realized I had barely unlocked anything, so I went back and tried again to unlock more scenes maybe see some spicy shit, this time skipping through the entire time, trying different choices and still barely any of it. Confused I looked up a walkthrough and started following that and finally after diligently following the walk through. . . THERE WAS STILL ALMOST NO SEX SCENES!!! THERE WERE A LOT SUGGESTIVE SITUATIONS, AND SOME VERY CLOSE CALLS BUT THAT WAS IT.
Look I understand that this is supposed to be a slow burn kind of game, this isn't my first rodeo, but the slow burn games I've played had some "payoff's" scattered throughout here and there, this has fucking your husband or seeing your skinny neighbor fuck his girl, I don't even think she blows anybody for fucks sake.
It was at this point I noticed that this game has been in development for 6 years. 6 fucking years and the best they can do is have the MC get messaged a bit by the maid or roll around shirtless with the neighbor boy. With that kind of time you'd expect a lot more development, at somepoint it stops being a slow burn and starts to morph into a milking an audience dry, not even in the fun way. Maybe they want the transition to feel as real as possible, but at the same time, I'm at my computer playing this with my hand on my dick, I want to masterbate and no kissing another girl isn't enough for me anymore, JUST MAKE PORN.
If you're reading this and have gotten to the end and you're still interested in playing somehow great enjoy the never ending story of a wife who also just so happens to be a teacher, but if you're like me and you want porn in your porn and don't want to beat around the bush for 5 hours to reach no payoff then move the fuck on.
