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

version 0.065

this VN actually feels like reading an erotic novel. you play the role of a middle aged sexy wife and decide how you want the character to develop. its like watching her daily life and i mean this quite literally. you will get to see what she does throughout the day. its truly unbelievable how much attention to details the developer has put to this VN. you will surely understand once you start playing and after a while it might also frustrate you to the point that you delete the VN from your pc(and u better believe it cuz i have been there and done it XD). but that is also the charm of this VN i think. also incredibly realistic to be honest which i came to appreciate later while playing. well its really hard to describe this VN really. it has NO sex scenes(not even any oral) uptill now. so you could say that its painfully realistic or just plain stupid. but still i liked the VN cause even if there is no sex scene at the moment its still plenty erotic. the writing and visuals are simply amazing, definitely the highlights of the VN. this definitely has a lot of promise.
so if u are patient and looking for some high quality VN definitely try this one out.
WARNING : this VN is not for fapping (lol)

This game showed a lot of promise but is ultimately undermined by poor execution.

Update: Consider this a 2-star review now. Apparently, the Dev has chosen to take this story in the overused mechanic of blackmail, and in this case, unrealistic blackmail. Sigh! The game had such promise. Now the only real realistic corruption is the Lesbian route. Yes, I really believe that an uber powerful family would be able to threaten her when her sister's husband is equally powerful. Will she ask him for help. Of course not.

She'll comply b/c for some reason, men can only corrupt women with threats, blackmail, and manipulation. Women can offer her something more, something she desires and is not getting from her husband, such as sex. But, men can't offer her anything. It's so irritating, b/c an absentee husband provides all the needed set-up for corruption with other men, but instead, she stays true to the cheating jack-ass until she's blackmailed or raped.

The good:
--Beautiful renders
-- the narrative is often an interesting and slow build, and the main character is given the ability to craft some relationships over time.
-- written to feel like the circumstances could happen in real life, a part of the game I find quite appealing. (That was the case, until the recent update)
--Some scenes are quite expertly written. I want to love this game and I'm still pulling for it.

The bad:
--Being filthy doesn't change the dialogue or the outcome of scenes. It adds scenes, but being filthy has no real consequence on how scenes play out, destroying replayability. Except for new scenes you can access with filthy, you end up having to go through the same dialogue you saw previously. For me, that meant quickly clicking through dialogue I've already read. It also creates discontinuities.

For instance, if you pursue the filthy path with movers you can play it so that the wife has no problem with the movers flirting with her and the scuzzy Ivan is even able to mack on her daughter in front of her. Then later MC is uncomfortable undressing in front of her sister (I had a 17 filthy at that point) and is irritated by the more attractive, respectable gym guys checking her out. Huh?? Reason? Gym scene was written to be compatible with Good wife and Nasty wife playthroughs with no changes to the dialogue. The game doesn't adjust the content to account for changes in the filthy metric. Lame.

Also, the wife is portrayed very inconsistently. One moment part of a well-written guitar scene; the next minute the Sports teacher, who played on a championship college team for 2 years doesn't know the rules of fouling in basketball. Huh?

She also has the ability to internally and externally call bullshit one moment, then is clueless and incompetent in another. Did she not think of recording her first "date" with the teacher? Why did she even tell him her son is at the school? Most teachers with children at the same school would try to avoid such conflicts of interest for practical reasons. I could see including it as a choice--cause porn game. But, she's portrayed as much smarter than that and you're not given a choice.

Returning to the good being undermined by the bad. The narrative choices often undermine the realism of the scenarios. A young teacher flirts with both teachers and students, and is likely sleeping with some of them, flunks her son and uses it to blackmail her for sex--we haven't seen how this plays out with the principal, but it's an expensive lawsuit waiting to happen in the real world.

And why go for the job at the nursing home, when it's been suggested she could be a model? Reason? Ugly old man macking on the hot wife content that appears to be quite popular on this site.

Though I gave it a 2, consider my rating a 2.5 for a valiant effort and a hope that some of these issues can be corrected.

One of my peronal favorites
I really like the fact of having the protagonist be the "adult" and mature part who is conflicted with the events instead of being the average young and pushy character.

No new content since I first downloaded the game in SEPTEMBER. Dev just makes constant excuses for lack of content.

There is so much potential with this game. I love the character models, the choice system and story so-far. And the idea of playing as a wife and making the choices is something unique.

However when you have a dev who enjoys making the community mad, and a project with so much potential but such little to show in terms of content its hard for me to sit here and support this game.

Its pretty obvious the dev is over his head and our just doesnt have time for this. I think he should turn it over to the community and let us finish the game with our own twists.

This is the first game I'm reviewing and I'm reviewing this because of how much I need to let this come out.This game is gorgeous with the models and does well in making me immersed,(Good writing).The problem is that I am a female protag, lesbian incest type of guy and this game fucking rejects that and spits it in your face. The dev doesn't give me any choice in how I want to interact with the girls(and that's worse because they barely give me any choice in the main game). This game just dominates the sleezy geezers and gross little boys in Sophia's asscrack and i just want to have girls scene. It sucks because there is so much potential and the characters are so good(females for the most part) but, I'll just have to wait and see.

"There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain..."

I really enjoyed the overarching plot and twists in this game, as it encompasses all the classic elements of a good story. Although the standalone routes weren’t by any means remarkable, they were great at building suspense and a sense of urgency to figure out the pieces of the puzzle in order to solve the mystery. The universe of this games grows increasingly more complex and interesting the further you delve into the storyline. This demonstrates solid world-building and good storyline pacing by the writers.

A fantastic game, with slow pace so be aware...
The dev knows what he's doing, putting a lot of effort and making wonderful renders you won't see anywhere else. It has a unick style with a lot of sexual tension, with a promise for a lot of lewd scenes in the future.

So, in my opinion, this are the pros and the cons of this game.:
Pros:
+ Good character design. I like the mother, aunt and sister character choice. Well balanced look and not the extreme type with somehow a unique personality.
+ Well rendered. I saw few bugs but not so much of a mood killer.

Cons:
- Corruption time. I know that in many games after four clicks you already fucked the mother, aunt, sister, neighbor, the UPS guy and so on, but here this is taking way to much. I mean I know that corruption won't come on a plate but you can't have like three updates in three months and after those updates, the only change is that the character goes "fully wild" and she will wear a thong. Yey.
- Short updates, as I may have mentioned above with each month there is an actual short update. In most cases there is some casual talking, running, touching, eye gazing, gazel gazing, Lamma gazing and that is all.
! Here I will make my final mention on how the story is built. From the start, the dev marked the relations as siblings with no patch what so ever. If we go on this path, for the game to stay on Patreon it must not contain any incest scenes. So if the game will remain on Patreon, the mother, son, father, aunt, and sister will not have any "pie" together. If somehow on the road, the dev will suddenly change the character relations, into landlord, warlord, and warlock than it will be odd for those who will play without an incest desire.
If the dev will make an incest patch which will unlock different scenes and will be focusing on incest, well that will double the work...

So in the end, I want to say that this is one of the games I played and will play in the future with the hope that if the dev will read this, he/she/it will find it useful in future development.

this game is like no other one is not about lazy sex scenes is about the corruption of the mc sophia for a boring housewife/teacher to a firty woman or bisexual.a lot of interesting people from your son best friend to the sexy maid,personal trainer or your class!!!

When this game came out, I had high hopes for it because of the quality of the renders. But sadly that isn't enough to keep me entertained. I think this dev has cornered the market on slow progression. My thoughts might change when/if more MORE "content" is added.

Most boring goddamn game possible. It's the most slowest burn of games and the pain is equal to slowly going insanely from carbon monoxide poisoning. It starts off with exposition so lazily done, basically zooming in to each character giving their backstories in the most boring way. I gave it a chance but there was one moment that made me purge this game off my computer.
I don't really like my porn games with a side of indirect racism. Not my thing. So in all - save your computer space and time.

Very beautiful graphic, nice storyline, very good playable... very good solution, that you can skip with CTRL the scenes, when you want just try one thread. Very good the unlimited save solution, but it comes from renpy... This game is one of my favourite game.

The idea is great,the art is good but there is still some missing.The corruption is slow which is not a bad thing. But the game is taking way too much path from the begining,introducing too many characters and it starts being a bit confusing.

Updated for .160

*sigh.
So, AWAM is like 2 steps forward and two steps back. Episode .160, or episode one chapter 2, or whatever, doesn't have me excited for what's to come. As per usual, it is all setup with very little payoff, and five years later it is only becoming frustrating and disappointing. ESPECIALLY since L&P hype their game up so much, and deliver on so little per iteration.
At this rate, no one in that family, be it Dylan, Sophia, or Ellie is going to get any action any time soon.

Updated for .130

Now, it is a rare occasion when I go back and amend a score due to things improving, but I have to give credit where it is due. The last time I played AWAM was years ago, back when there was very little payoff. Since playing through recently, I got to say things are looking better, but this game is STILL all setup with very little payoff. You're heading in a better direction with this game, but, c'mon, pick up the pace.

Really well made story with well written characters. Add to this mix beautiful renders and you'll get a perfect game... right? Well, unfortunately the game is missing one crucial piece. I like the realistic take on corruption, however this means that the action isn't exactly ramping up quickly. Add to it the pace at which the developer works, and you'll get a really good game with very little adult themed content, arguably the most important part of an adult game. I'm sure once it's finished it's going to be one of the better games in the genre... but who knows when that will be.

(v0.06)
Extremely slow development pace, the game has gotten nowhere over the course of an entire year. I understand the dev's motivation when it comes to "slow corruption" but the way it's being done indicates massive incompetence at best or patron milking at worst.
If it's not abandoned by that point, it might be worth a revisit in 2034 at this pace.

(v.0.065)
The corruption is very very very slowly getting there, that hasn't changed...
Rating is having a permanent minus now however because people are reporting incompatibility with saves made in previous versions... It's not that hard to keep save compatibility when you add new content...

Also, I ran into missing variable errors even after I started a completely fresh game in this version. That's a sign of poor variable management, poor coding, or both.

Never again i haven't played a game with such realistic scenario (and believe me, i have played a lot ). Also the renders are excellent and the female characters are very hot! So it's 5/5 to me, or 10/10, or please L&P don't abandon this game

My Rating of this Game (v0.085 ) is:

-----Update----
This Game is the worst cock teasing Game out there,
I believe its been out over a year now (correct me if Im wrong) and the only thing you really get to see is some tits and ass, and maybe a dick here and there.
Graphics are great,but that`s it for this game,people habe been paying hundreds of dollars for a damn Strip show......
This Game has just turned out to be a money milking machine in my Opinion.

Pros:
-Great Renders
-Nice Story
-Lots Different Locations
-Nice Sports Cars

Cons:
- Grinding game Play (Playboy has more Porn)

Used to like it,but the grinding Gameplay has become ridiculous.
But must also Say,this game is on my top 5 Teasing list.....

Last words:
Not worth the download,buy yourself a Magazine for some sex scenes.

This game has so much potential but the story progresses at a snail's pace. For a game that has been in progress for a year now, the amount of content is pretty small.

I would compare this to a softcore... fanfic. Not a porno, because there is almost nothing going on. I wouldn't expect anything out of this game for another 2 years from this dev, so I'd keep away from now and come back in 2020.

Excellent game!
MC is beautiful and smart.
Rarely where you can see such a detailed story and amazing renders!
There is not much adult content yet In the game, but the story is so fascinating.
Solid five stars!
