VN - Ren'Py - A Wife and Mother [v0.215f] [Lust & Passion]

The first part was around 4 for me, mainly because of the slow corruption and the general narrative flow, but now I understand it was always an uninspired game with the illusion of something bigger.

And I can't bring myself to rate this game higher after I played the second part: everything got so much worse except the renders, and I got the feeling that it's going nowhere. There are too many characters now. Focus lost completely. The second part felt so uninspired, so bland, that I don't even want to think about this game and just want to forget it exists.
Updates are also rare and contain almost no actual content, mostly renders - doesn't look like a full-time job at all. Overpriced development hell it is.

Edit: I thought a bit more about this game and I don't see a reason to give it 2 stars just for the pacing, pacing alone isn't worth much. So I would like to change this rating to 1 star.

My score is 3.5 but Ill round up to 4.

There's a sweet spot where lewd content (i.e. corruption) seems to be best. It's different for everyone I guess, but Id say the vast majority want it to be. Not too slow and not too fast. This one is slow. Too slow IMO.

Positives: Story is generic and that's fine. Renders are good and there is a vast number of characters within the game. Most seem interesting.

There is a lot of black screens and cuts which I found annoying but I got over it.

Final thoughts, it's a good game.

It feels like this game is underated a little bit now. Yes it has a big flaw that its taking the slow burn aproach to the limit, but its still way above average on this site.

There is a decent amount of content that has been produced over a long period of time. Just dont expect any truly hardcore content any time soon.

Story 4/5 , Originality 4/5 , Renders 5/5, Animations 4/5, Amount of content 3/5.

Im looking forward to how this progresses over the next year or two.

Used to be a great game pioneering this industry. Now its bits and pieces unfortunately. Hope it will develop again towards the right path. The last few updates are so small that its questionable why they get released. Maybe the element of pregnancy could alter things to the better.

The game currently in development is a disappointing endeavor marked by a series of fundamental flaws and missed opportunities. From the outset, the narrative appears disjointed and uninspired, lacking the depth and coherence necessary to engage players. The promised immersive experience falls flat, as the storyline fails to create any meaningful connection with the audience, leaving players disinterested and detached.

Visually, the game struggles to meet contemporary standards, with subpar graphics that undermine the potential for a truly captivating gaming experience. Clunky character models and lackluster environment design contribute to an overall aesthetic mediocrity, failing to provide the visual allure that modern gamers have come to expect.

Gameplay, touted as innovative, feels stale and derivative. Repetitive mechanics and uninspiring challenges contribute to a tedious experience, leaving players longing for the creativity and excitement promised in the pre-release marketing.

Perhaps most frustrating is the plethora of technical issues plaguing the game. Glitches, crashes, and long loading times disrupt the already lackluster gaming experience, further exacerbating the disappointment of those who were hopeful for a polished and enjoyable release.

In summary, the game in development is shaping up to be a lackluster and underwhelming addition to the gaming landscape, failing to deliver on its promises and leaving players with a bitter taste of unmet expectations.

They should stop working on it, it's so horrible. You need to wait 3-4 months on average to see 5-10 minutes worth of content. There has been 0 oral sex, let alone normal sex with any character in the game other than her husband. The story started out to be good and worth the wait, now it is dumb, and no action.

The buildup in this game is amazing, I loved every moment of it. The graphics are very high quality and all the women are beautiful, and there are many choices! The writing really puts you in the mood and is very thoughtful. The pace is "slow" but for me personally it's perfect!

This VN is hard to review, it has alot of positives but at the same time alot of negatives.

Lets start with the positive, Sophia character is extremely beautiful and acts very elegant and mature all through VN, and act like a mom so her corruption is hot.

The animations and renders are top notch and the different scenarios are hot.

Negatives, too much focus on non important characters I feel at times and development time is kinda long.

Its still the best milf game, no one comes close to immulate a respectable wife and mother in any game so far on the market

When I rate a game, I rate it based on what it claims to be, against what it actually delivers.

So when a game like this comes along, claiming to be a female protag game based on realism and class, I'll get excited, only to be let down.

Particularly lately with Part 2, the son character (Dylan) has taken center stage, to the detriment of Sophia, who is meant to be the main character.

If this was titled "A son and brother" I'd be giving this game an entirely different rating. But as written on the box, it fails dismally.

Pretty good overall, with nothing major to complain about in the game. Every detail is meticulously taken care of, and nothing feels out of place. While the first renders could use some rework, the overall experience is second to none in its genre. Obviously, the developer is taking on more than they can handle, but honestly, every scene is perfectly crafted, and the slow burn is executed really well. It's disappointing that I probably won't be able to see the end of it, considering the developer takes so long to make progress in each update. However, since I am only basing my review on the in-game content, the game still deserves a solid perfect score.

Review till v 0.190 of Lesbian Route. (I Don't care for other routes) My ratings are based only on the content not update release speed.

I played only the lesbian route and it was good in my opinion. But there is no doubt it has the potential to be great. But as Dev is trying to fit every route possible in the game I am not sure when the next update with any lesbian content will release. And as I have gone through this thread it seems the Dev takes a long time to release new updates, so that might be a little disappointing.

I liked the slow burn of how the Main character is slowly starting to like girls/women by talking, flirting & having light intimate acts with them. so that was good.

The graphics are great, can't comment much on animations because there are not many action-heavy scenes at least in the lesbian route for now.

There is a lot of text to read. It sets up the plot well and explains how/why MC starts liking women. If reading lots of text is not your thing, avoid this game.

Will wait and see what the next few updates bring. I might change my review based on those.

Well only good thing about this is render .Another is choices i.e you cant avoid content you dont like.The story is prolonged and to much teasing .Theirs many potential partners(LI) and hence it takes so much time to get content you are into .I was in for mom-son duo but it feels it will take decade for this game to complete.Not really worth playing atm .Maybe you could check this once it complete on nexxt decade.

Only one good thing about this game is rendering.
Story is not that good.. unnecessary prolonged side story including Dylan path. Developer has to understand it's not a series, it's a game. Main story lose its essence no matter how appealing renders can be.
No sex scene even after 6 years of development . Teasing for long long time is boring ..for first few years I can understand but now that teasing has become boring. No expectations at all story wise.
And last but not the least. If you don't know how to progress, don't go by people voting. If you have solid story no matter how long is it stick with that. In here, LP has ruined the main path of the story because of voting.
If in future updates, as per story dylan choice matter than sure..but as of now all I see is past choices doesn't affect present game. No matter what you choose, the game is not connected.
Started fine, audience hanging around and than the story directly jumped from the tower to lose its audience by including Dylan's path.
And updates are slow.
My suggestion would be bring up the update faster on time and Stop creating prolonged side story because of people vote, it can be created after your main story is finished. More characters you involve will lose essence of the story. If you don't have a team to manage than stick with main story...release side story after the game is finished for those whoever are interested. Could have given zero but unfortunately 1 star is the minimum I can go.

Review 1:
When i played this game many years ago, I like the game graphics wise, story building wise this game i feel it was awesome and had alot of potential. I would have given this game 5 star straight away if i have been asked that time.

After 4 years, I have distributed star based on few features: Graphics and audio, screen writing/game plot, erotic scene, user friendly and update frequency.

1) Graphics and audio : When it comes to graphics and audio....maybe there might be better selection of audio but i can understand everyone has different choice of songs so even if they add more or less its on individual choices..and graphics wise i see this game improve over the time so no doubt in that 1 point for that.
2) User friendly: Yes writing is simple and it's easy to understand the game plot wise on how to play and whatever you wanna do with the MC. 1 point for that
3) Game plot: Story has been interesting in the beginning no doubt with so many character introduction and relationship build in it had alot of potential. However, with more characters you dont see story progression with every characters in all update like if one update come for dylan, you dont see story progression with patricia, her daughter, neighour, school, nursing home etc..developers made it complex for themselves after creating 3949328 route for MC to such a point where they cannot progress story for all characters involved in the story in one update..they could have introduced slowly after progressing story with main characters around MC but they were fast in introducing all corruption path characters so fast that now they're stuck and it will be hard for them to corrupt sophia on all path. 0.5 star for that i can say....good plot but they put hammer on their leg and made story slow like a turtle speed.
4) Erotica scene: for that I will say zero..i mean for those who like to see boobs and ass and handjob thats all you get after 5/6 years ....whenever the developer plan to introduce sex i will rate for that..but for me as of now zero.
5) Update frequency: well i think its so slow and very disappointing in this field ...so whatever points i gave for game plot i am taking it back because of this..Hence - 0.5 for it.....

Overall, good graphics , avg story plot and alot of characters that made the story very slow...and when it comes to frequency of update i can say it's one of the worst game where you will not see update for long time.

As per me the longer you will follow this game...it will manage to disappoint you with time.

Review 2 May/2024: As the story progress, the story has lost a complete essence. We use to wait for next update earlier in the days, nowadays it doesn't matter. Developer has no reason why Sophia is not going for sex after acheiving so many Filthy points. He simply decide and declare confidently, No sex because he doesn't want to...so it's not a logic behind the game.. The point doesn't matter at all nowadays. It became show piece. So once the logic of corruption is gone, and the story is diverted from main plot. I don't think the game makes any sense.

This is the biggest waste of text I've ever seen in a game before.

Slow burn corruption. Being my favorite genre of game, surely this game would send fire into my loins.. after all this game is known for it.

And yet.. it doesn't. I invested an evening into playing Part 1 and read thousands of lines.. and learned nothing of value of these characters. Spoilers: All the men are perverts and want to bang MC. All the women are lesbians and want to bang MC too.

Do you want thousands of lines describing and developing maybe 20 slightly men/women with slightly different boilerplate backgrounds who all have the same motive.. fucking MC?

Also. There is no consequences for actions. There is no examination of the human condition. Every road leads to "how can we get to a scene where we have designated pervert X brush on MC's boob/ass, then have a meaningless choice where she confirms either "slut choice or good girl choice", then zoom to the next interaction with pervert Y, repeat?"

Here's the thing that gets me. I like slow burn. I like CG collection games. I like text games. You know what's offensive? When there's more text than a text game, there's more slow burn than a slow burn game, and yet there's less character development and CG than some of the most "CG collector" games out there. TLDR: This game wastes your time.

If you play this game, literally skip all the text and read the brief blurb in the walkthrough describing the scene. In some cases it's actually written better than the game honestly, and it will save you hours of your life.

I have no idea what is going on with the development of this game but Part 2 is 1000x better than Part 1 for some reason.. it's generic but the text is not nearly as indulgent, the graphics are better and things are actually moving forward. It only took over a half decade to get to quality improvement I guess.

I enjoyed this game quite a lot. It is the definition of a slow burn. There is little to no hardcore sexual content so far. You play as a wife and mother of two, who slowly starts down the path of adultery. But it is slow moving, things don't really start picking up until part 2. Part 1 is all about the setup, moving the dominos into place to start being knocked down in part 2. The story and scenes very much will tease the player and then pull the rug out at the last moment.

With all that being said it loses a star for the fact that you really have to play it using the walkthrough as a guide. Not on every choice, but there are a few that seem benign but have serious ramifications latter on. I have had to go back and make a change and then skip through back to where I was because of it. Like a choice made on day 4 effecting events on day 16. Even if there is a one week time skip during that time. The good news about that is the walkthrough does it's job well and doesn't usually spoil what is to come so long as you don't read too far ahead into it.

Personally, I only play the lesbian path, but if you want, you can also choose the normal or mixed path.
I like the game because it shows again a woman who is fed up with married life and breaks out of this everyday life.
I like the idea that she was actually more interested in female characters and only got married because society liked it.
Just as it is often done in reality.
I especially like the passion and moral conflicts that can be seen in the daughter scenes.
Let's see what the future brings.

Perhaps one of the biggest let downs on this website. I could understand no sex in 2017, maybe even 2018. Hell, with renders this good, I could even understand 2019. But it's not 2019 -- far from it, and this game appears to be going nowhere anytime soon. L&P is welcome to continue writing this VN for the people interested in this game, but it won't be me and I can't recommend it to you either.

Incest simulator...don't expect anything else like I did and you won't be disappointed. The game hints at numerous story arcs and plots that never develop and all that happens seems to revolve around the son Aiden, when in fact the more interesting character is the Mother, whom I believe you don't even get to see fucking a grown man in this game lol, just Kids...Despite many siituations that promise otherwise. Don't get me wrong I'm not shaming anyones kink, BUT when I'm lead to believe the story will involve OTHER types of content beyond incest and underage sex and there is hardly any, or none at all, well it sucks and the description of the game needs to be clearer, I wasted a good few hours of my life on this game going no where fast. If the Author ACTUALLY delivers on some of the other heavily implied content, like the mob boss and the prisoner or any of the more *adult* situations I'll change this review.

To keep the review short I will say this.

This game has a lot of good story buildup and Sophia is one of the hottest MILFS in 3D VNs. A lot of the early section of the game is story build up, while recently it's getting into more foreplay action.

The downside is the updates take a long time to make for L&P. While that's normal for most games on here, it makes it a hard pill to swallow seeing the roadmap he made for his game. Hopefully he hires more people to help him to either make the updates quicker or merge a lot of story scenes together in 1 update.

If you like good story and slow burning erotica this is the game for you. If you're into quick sex, you will need to look somewhere else.....for now.
