VN - Ren'Py - A Wife and Mother [v0.220] [Lust & Passion]

Nice game but very slow development in the storyline.
Too many sidelines. When you expect some progress in the story and it is not happening.
There are so many missed opportunities.
What happened with the guys at the museum?
When can we see some sex with Sophia's sister?
Any progress with the guys from the club?

the game is fine. Nothing special.

pros: great art and... that's about it.

cons: really slow development for a threadbare plot and a distinct lack of direction.
too many character but none have had any significant progress in route in the last year or two.

Basically, wait until the game is "completed" and play it. The game as it is, is not memorable or interesting

This is my review for v0.130 :

Been playing this game since 2018 and it has kept me hooked until now despite a few shortcomings. The render qualities have definitely improved over time and the effort that the creator puts in to creating realistic environments is evident.
The thing that works for this game is that the MC - Sophia Parker is a hot middle aged married woman who unlike other games does not jump into having sex with whoever she meets but it focuses on slow build up/seduction of the MC up until she loses her inhibitions and then jumps into having sex with whoever she has picked up the FILTHY points. This would have worked for me if there were just 3 to 4 or max 5 people waiting to seduce the MC. At present the people waiting to have sex with Sophia are - her son, daughter, son's friend, daughters friend, her sister, brother in law, her couple of friends, 2 to 3 students, a teacher, a janitor, a mafia don's brother to name a few. In order to accommodate so many characters, the author has created innumerable branches to the story. And since our MC needs to be seduced, each character goes through separate events where the MC gets drawn towards the mentioned characters.
This has resulted in the game still being in the seduction stage since 4 years of development. The development cycle has also slowed down over time with the last update taking 6 months for a 1/3rd playable day. So it is quite possible that if the son has made significant progress with the MC in an update during the day and next expected event with the son is in the morning next day, we will not be seeing an update for the son for the next 1.5 years. This causes the interest to fade away from the character.
Lastly, there have only been 2 short sex scenes with the husband in the Good wife route in the 4 years of development and with a sex scene outside marriage nowhere in sight for the next few years, I personally do have a reservation if the creator is capable to pull off a great sex scene after years of corruption. That only time will tell.
To summarize :
Pros:
Beautiful married MC who doesn't act like a whore
Wonderful renders
Attention to detail in the renders
Cons:
Too many branches and side characters
No Explicit scenes in the Filthy route
Slow development cycle

Despite of some of the mentioned shortcomings, I do still look forward to the next release with the same enthusiasm, maybe because it caters to my fantasy of a decent married woman getting gradually corrupted.

5 stars graphics and 3d models
4 stars story and plot
3 stars too many characters and text reading
2 stars OVERALL
1 star not honest with fans said he will join some1 to help him still not
0 stars updates and delay prolonged to nowhere to no reason

The game has a great concept and nice artwork but it is beyond slow. You will find more enjoyment watching paint dry vs waiting for updates to come out. The best advice I can give is to wait about 5 years and then check back . This will allow a sufficient amount of time to pass to actually move the story forward. Lots of other developers deliver quality updates so spend your money with them and hard pass on financially supporting this one.

BEST GAME EVER, the character build up, development, and events are done with class. No other game has the ability to create that connection between you and the main character. despite the fact that updates take longer than any other game in development, the creator always delivers a deeper connection.

I like this game, I like Sophias character a lot, but so much waiting. IM so TIRED of it by now. Theres a certain exhaustion setting in. Its been 4 years now, 4 long years! and theres just one half-ass sex scene between liam and sophia, and that too isnt very well animated. We havent even got to see Sophia's vagina - IN 4 years!
Just cancel it already instead of your nevenending tease and blueballing

I was a doner

I started reading this VN because of good reviews on its graphics and writing. But after reading up to day 12-14, this AVN made me feel deceived.

IMHO, this is a VN for lesbians in disguise of incest and "slow burn". I don't really mind a VN for specific target group, but I don't appreciate feeling deceived after reading some. Dev made this subtle to attract more readers, but it was obvious soon as MC advanced with females a lot more than male characters. All male characters were described as "pygmy", cheaters, assholes, blackmailers while female characters were active, kind and cool. So you can guess where this is going.

Renders in the VN were high quality for sure, but I have read better writings. I often felt too much unnecessary details and repeated text as MC's thought. Sometimes, it felt like reading some raw text from character bibles.

I would have given four stars for its good graphics and so-so writing. But I took off one star for the cheap trick widening target readers.

I followed this game from the very beginning and was really surprised from the quality of the art, the story and the MC herself looking damn good.
- At that point I was really excited to see where this game would go.

Here we are - 4 years later.
Its so sad to see a potential good game have come to this state where its almost "dormant".

Cons:
- Game have almost no content of what it lead up to from the beginning(incest).
- Updates come out per ½ year at the moment, and are very disappointing each time.
- Lackluster story - For now anyway.
- Biggest blueball simulator ever created.

Pros:
Beautiful artwork & Main Character.

Too long to get nowhere, the premise of these games is that the character meets certain parameters, if it does not reach that, the effort becomes something negative. Mainly sex is what guides the player but if the game does not contain that, much less compensates it with any eroticism, it tires the player if it is not awarded, I clarify NO SEX

Grade 1 because i ve played similar games and when it came to the good part either got abandoned or disapointed me with the lack of sexual content so i think as the game is now is not worth to play it come back after 5 years...

Points in game are strict and useless if you have lost 1 point you are out of route losing much plot or all the plot from there also we have a ton of filthy points but we don;t see any change at mc behavior so they are useless as well 0 points

Walkthrough it does not tell what conquences you might have if you choose between choice a or b instead you see it in the game as you progress and many routes are now locked thanks to the lack of points 0 points as well

Renders excellent renders 5 points

Sexual content minimal to none existent also i am afraid that the majority of the game will be like this a sea of text and choices that blocks you from progresing further and the final reward 4 or 5 sex scenes if you are lucky totally not worth it 1 point

Story meaningless thanks to the point system... 0 point

If the protagonist did not have such odd hang ups while getting morally loose, the game would be near perfect. Just very odd hang ups for the main character that do not fit, nor belong in the story. Seems to me they were put in there to try and make it look like a further fall to temptation, but a swing and a miss in my humble opinion. Other than that, great game. Oops,except for the typical loser husband. Too cliche. Have really enjoyed it overall though. Much better than 97% of others.

Absolutely captivating game, thanks to the excellent writing and insane graphics.
The build up is so well done.
The MC feels real, and she is very attractive.
I'm craving the incest scenes with the son.
I just hope you can update the Mac version please that is behind the Windows one.
Eagerly waiting updates, thank you for your work!

Could use some work on the writing, and there also seems to be a lot of dialogue as well. I also believe that it would be better if the story is moved forward in a better way after each major choice. Aside from these things, I really liked it. You can tell that the developer of this game has put in a lot of time and effort making this. In spite of all of that, this AVN should have been much further along with the plot due to how long it has been out. There should not be promises made if they cannot be kept. This AVN had potential, but I am not so sure about it now. I am sorry if it seems like I am attacking the dev, but I believe that many key parts of what is supposed to make a good AVN got thrown out of the window in favor of the plot, and art. I think if the important aspects of the game were better balanced, then the AVN would have been much better. But so far, it is not that far above average.

Edit: Also the only erotic content happens if you are faithful to your probably unfaithful husband. Even there, it is not that much. In an AVN that is also about corruption and infidelity, I do not see how that makes sense. So far, the plot has also not went anywhere. Almost 4 years and no good development in the main story. After thinking about all of this, and replaying with my partner, I think I am going to take it down two stars in the rating. I am a bit sad because this AVN had so much potential.

In the beginning the game the was with lots of promises, but as time passed it turned into a total letdown.
I guess its been around <4 yrs since the game is launched but still no sex scenes, just voyeurism .
A great game if you want plot/ art
A very poor game if you are here for the sexual content ( which ofcourse you are)

It’s one of the most realistic game I have ever seen. The mom's character is so perfect with her moral, values and lust. People should realise that sex scene is not everything what should be craved of. Rather passion and excitement is far better than sex scene.

It's one of those games...complete blue ball parade....

Where the development completely derailed from being a sex game to trying to win a freaking Noble prize in literature.
The amount of time spent on this game: three years six months and ten days of development as of writing this review.
The dev has clearly no idea about story building. He builds up the tempo through correct means but it takes too long(too much reading). In the end there is no release of the suspense. The player or in this example the house wive is left with literally blue balls.
Let that sink in..three years...six months..and ten days of cliffhangers...without proper continuation.
Ladies and gentlemen...what i mean is...
THERE IS ZERO SEX OF THE WIFE WITH ANYONE ELSE THEN HER HUSBAND.
The wife turned into a torturer. Walking tease devil.
We get constantly the same content of soft porn over and over again. Teasing, touching, kissing with other females etc. She doesn't even touch any other man in a sexual way... Literally no artistic vision.
The worst part in the game is without a doubt the bikini show case. Between each scene we got tons of text to chew through...
Then we have to pick either the Yoga scene or Alyssa. That is a terrible development decision. Lost content. Those should be separate.
If the next update doesn't have a cheating sex scene then you are guilty of a crime for not unsubbing...

The game is good, the author gradually adds the development of both the game and the history of the game itself. Well-made shots of scenes. But judging by the actions of the author of the game and its updates, he wants to smoothly and evenly develop the game - at the moment, the author is not very willing to try to develop the content separately. Maybe the author is afraid that if he adds porn content to the game and spoils something if this is so, then for the Author there are the right words: Lust & Passion DO NOT WORRY porn content will not spoil the game but only improve - Make a smooth flow of CONTENT 18+ is not mandatory that the main character Sophie should not stogo not this go and start quite podrad to sleep. Well, you yourself Lust & Passion know everything, but on the other hand, you don't need to wait 1,000 years with the input of 18+ CONTENT . There are good moments in the game where Sophie is very relaxed and gives in to her desires but the biggest such moments are : 1) Restaurant when she takes off her panties 2) The sauna where Sophie stared at her friend's boyfriend and the best moment is 3) Sophie imagines how she is engaged in passionate sex with a prisoner in prison (At this point, not a big scene where Sophie presents herself and with whom this is still the only such scene) the scene with the prison is very good I hope that further in the game there will be more scenes like Lust & Passion porn content will be in the plus for all of you in the game and the players will be happy so we all hope that you Lust & Passion will develop the game and begin to add 18+CONTENT. The game is good but it's time for Sophie to at least at least kavota past her husband at least to kiss and tal on the increase.

It is all about teasing and not fullfilling and the developers are good at it.

Storylines never complete, instead new storylines are created. And the developers have taken teasing to the next level by applying it to releases too. They figured that if you manage to keep people exited you can keep actual releases to a minimum.

If you like being teased endlessly, this is your game. It's not for me though, there are better games out there, better story and better sex.

Best game, with an nice story and pretty interesting characters. The mother is one of the hotest characters ever.
All the cheating options are really good.
- Sophia. One of the best female characters.
- Female characters in general are really hot.
