Ren'Py - A Wife's Phone [v0.6.5] [Bloody Ink/Scyxar Studios]

This game started off with so much promise. It was great right up until the MC lost his company. Then it lost direction and went stupid. It could've stayed on an awesome path to corrupt the wife and himself without needing the moronic debt of 1 billion dollars to the guy who stole his company. Such exaggerated situations kill any realism you could submerge in. (Yes, I realize the irony of wanting realism in a game about mind control but even in fantasy novels with magic, it still needs a certain level of realism to be enjoyable).

Anyway I give it 1/5. It could've been 4/5 if it stayed on the path it started on. So much potential wasted.

The game quickly loses its momentum once it "gives control" to the player it becomes horrible grind with non cohesive story things just are happening but there is no buildup you are just spamming that button to advance time to get one path unlocked, really had promise but the game is just adding on more and more boring events where you need to wait 10 days to advance etc

Game should be renamed in "Everyones elses but the Wifes Phone"
If you end one branch of any other character, almost every wife branch is hard locked. You can't progress without the content you don't like.
The game was better when you still had some sort of choice, but now, can't recommend at all.

The game was brilliant when it started but with every update it has gotten worse.
The number of routes are insane and makes no sense so many time, there is too much senseless clicking for no reason what so ever, wife acts slutty once and then loyal another.
Not much left in the story, seems like the game is still active because of the popularity and some cucks who don't care about repetitive mode of the story.
I personally am done with this game, but would follow the dev if he ever makes some other game.

At first I didn't like the game, but if you view it from the right perspective, and make the right choices then it's actually really good. My only true complaint rn is that there isn't more content. I can't wait for more.

Saw some people recommend this and decided to give it a shot, and man... what a mess of a game. lmao

Click the same button 4 times to "progress" the game (sometimes). The "hypno spam" function is largely pointless because there is no progression to most of the characters, and it's just plain annoying because it drowns potential route progression alerts. Other "apps" are useless and it makes me wonder why they are even there. Payment deadline will either have no effect or happen way before the number of days displayed. Routes (branches?) will randomly stop progressing and you need to restart them, but it may cause the game to crash when you play through it again. If you accidentally end the wrong route it will just soft-lock all other routes and there is no way to restart an ended route.

But hey, at least the porn is good.

ive played the online version and it runs like shit, not allowing for an offline version before its released to everyone makes sense to prevent leaks. but after it is available to everyone not having an offline option is fucking stupid

Unmatched in terms of NTR, cuckolding, cheating and interracial content. With a wide variety of women in your life including your mom, sister, daughter, wife, ex, secretary and others all getting blacked, along with the inclusion of feminization it's probably the best cuckolding game on this site

So...I've spent a bit more time playing this "game" And it just gets WORSE and WORSE and WORSE!! On the FMC route, you spend literal MONTHS just bitching and moaning about becoming a woman. That's it. Months of this nonsense. That's. All. You. Do. In. This. "Game" You don't go out. You alienate everyone around you. There is nothing fun, immersive, or enjoyable about this game. That is, unless you're an entitled brat that blames everyone in your life for the choices YOU made previously. Avoid at all costs.

A solid 3.5/5 star game. Not bad, I gave 4 star to add some balance to overall rating. Overall the game has a lot of issues and a lot of content, its a sandbox and quite grindy too. So grindy that you could spend hours grinding before seeing the content you want to see.

This game is good at first, but when there is so many character it ruin the fun and the main purpose of this game "A Wife Phone" that it should be more focus on a "wife" content and phone feature "fucktagram" or any social media on her phone. It will be better if the content update is about the wife meet a new person, you don't have to make a really long branch for one character she's met, but more people she'll meet make the game keep fun.

This game is just a big mess, Even if the game completes, you will still get problems in branches and bugs %100. Sandbox is worst thing can happen to any game.
Devs, pls dont make your game sandbox. This game may be the best example of why you shouldn't do it. I know first versions of this game. It was very well written vn type game, after the patches, this game turn in to terrible sandbox style mess. Almost every new update your previous save files not working properly. Lots of problems when trying to progress and most of the time stuck on branches, Lots of unnecessary clicks ''advance time, etc.'' and list goes on and on... you can actually read the comments pages... Most of them are as u guess '' how can i solve this, how i can i get this, can someone give save files please''
I mean it so sad.. This game could one of the best ntr game on f95. Don't get me wrong, this game is still good game to play, it has lots of content but yeah.. you will get tons of problems while playing it. No doubt.

Despite the massive flaws. Despite the frustrations every time I play it...There is something about this game that keeps me coming back for every update. Maybe it is the concept of the game that I love? Or perhaps it's just the hope that the developer has ironed out the many problems?

Like many others, the first few updates of this game had me hooked. And then I think the developer got too ambitious. Too many storylines and branches, that overlap and cause contradictions. Jenna is your sworn enemy one message. Then your best pal the next. The idea of seeing your wife with another man disgusts you one minute, and then has you cumming in your pants the very next message because there are multiple branches occurring together.

The dialogue in the game, as well as the thought process of the MC, is also a weak point for me.

But there is definitely an impressive amount of work gone into creating this. The basic premise of a phone app, being able to see other peoples messages and being able to influence them and corrupt them is really interesting to me. And the interface is great.

The potential of this game is massive, but a simplified version of this would have worked far better...And my hope is the developers next project is a similar phone based game, as I am sure he/she will have learned a lot from this first attempt.

Unfortunately the grind far outweighs the reward, progression is a tedious repetitive clicking exercise to open texts, click through bloated conversation, notifications from the games version of instagram and the phone app itself (if you choose spam for anyone), it's not fun. There's too many characters that seem to be surplus to requirement, especially when the immediate family and initial core characters seem underdeveloped. It's a shame because it's a good premise but it stopped feeling like a game several updates back and just feels like hardwork in it's current state.

So much content its ridiculous. If youre into NTR this game is exactly what you want. seriously this game will take DAYS to finish. Probably the best cuck game there is honestly i dont know how a cuck game could be better.

The game has many pros and cons.

+ Several full branches.
+ Many events, many fetishes.
+ Excellent selection of photos and videos, good optimization.
+ A lot of work has been done. It will take many hours to read all the dialogues.
+ Gradual corruption.

- Characters speak like 1 person. Lacks individuality.
- Most events and dialogues are very boring.
- There is a small tedious grind.
- Need more dirty talk!)

Why 5 stars with all the cons? Personally, for me, the pros significantly outweigh the cons.

I wish the authors good luck and success.)

This game clearly shows that you can’t live just for sex

The hero has a number of problems, but when you decompose them, you understand that they are not serious. In fact, the main character lives only for sex. I have completed almost all the branches and this is an amazing game, but no game has ever sobered me up so much and said "these things are not so easily recognized as forbidden, look how it happens"

the writing pretty good but there are too many stories its all too much its especially annoying when some of the paths i want to follow can only be done after completing certain paths, like in the MC feminization path i need to complete step 100 Julia path but that one wont activate till i progress through other paths but ive literally completed all of them,

I played this game when it was not cluttered and story lines were easy to follow.
There are lots of story lines in this game. While the orginal story lines which are present from the start of the game are good and entertaining, other newer ones are just their to target all kind of fetishes without any meaningful writing or buildup. This completly destroys the 'imersion' the game had in the start. Now it is so cluttered that you cannot take anything serious.

What's more disappointing is that all story lines are same, there's nothing new, it just same generic story line again and again.
Although the game deserve lots of criticism, the game still offfered something new, a new perspective at how a story unfolds. It takes it time to setup the relationship with the wifey, and thankfully she does not get banged in the first minute of gameplay, which is the biggest turn off in a game for me.
But as the game development progressed, this turned into a complete mess. The stories are not just stories anymore, they are so far streched and that choices we make seems to matter less and less, and same things happen on repeat. I heard that it's becuase of developer chosing the content becuase of Patreons voting, but whatever it is, this games turned into something of a disappointment.
The choices also does not seem to matter in some cases.

However, I will give the game its credit, it probalby kick started the trend of VN with Phone perspective. There have been many new games similar to this that I enjoyed and I think this genre have a huge potential, there's something about watching the story unhold through phone and chats.

I would love to be excited for each update but unfortunately I can't. The game is terribly long and a bit boring to be honest. You are just watching your phone the entire time with some videos/images breaks every 15 minutes or so and the content in-between is... meh... There is zero immersion because all the interesting scenes happen outside of "the camera" ! All you have to witness is the aftermath of the fun that happened : you go on a date ? You don't see the dialogue or don't have the sex scene in live. Instead you have a sms convo saying that it was great and some sextape videos of it. All the game is like this, the player doesn't feel involved in the story, you're almost like the good friend to which you share your adventures and show your sextapes. You're here but... You're not really here, it is a weird feeling.

For an example, at some point in the sissificatrion storyline you are fitted a chastity cage, great you would say it can lead to some fun stuff ! But it doesn't... Instead what happens is :

• The bad guy tells you that you needs to be in chastity and he lets you some time to think about it
• You wait 3 days
• The bad girl contacts you, asks if you're ready and you're not
• You wait 3 days
• The bad girl comes back, she insists and you give in. She tells she will give you your cage later in the week
• You wait 3 days
• The bad girl is here. You apparently get fitted a chastity cage since she mentions it but there was no scene of you or her locking it. You have to spend a week in it
• You wait a week. Litterally nothing happens during that week. No teasing, no thought whatsoever about how the MC is feeling, no desperation.
• The bad girl comes back. She frees you from the cage. Again no teasing, no humiliation, no scenes, just a bit of "Oh that was hard " from the MC.
• The end.

And all the game is like this. The player always arrives after the battle and man what a way to make sure the player doesn't identify to the MC.
