    This game is a hidden gem in the wife corruption genre! Christine is the perfect MILF protag – stunning 3D renders . That body, expressions... dev nailed the visuals, especially the latest updates with improved quality.

    The slow build to corruption feels real, with actual choices that matter.

    Side characters like Mia and Otto have potential for more pervy twists. If you're into female protag cheating/corruption with hot MILF action, this delivers big time. One of the better ones out there right now.

    For players drawn to teacher-student (or mature woman/younger male) taboo themes, Being a Wife offers one of the stronger takes in the genre, centered on Toby (Adi’s shy college friend) and Adi (Christine’s son). Toby’s path delivers a slow-burn age-gap romance: he starts as the polite, awkward visitor who compliments Christine’s cooking, then gradually works up the courage for stolen touches and late-night visits. The kitchen scene—Christine’s hand on Toby while casually talking to Adi—is a standout moment of risk and tension that many on F95 call the game’s best sequence.


    Adi’s optional incest route adds a darker, possessive layer, with subtle jealousy cues and near-miss interruptions that heighten the stakes. Both paths are fully playable without touching the controversial Goro content, and recent patches fixed most save-compatibility issues, so branching feels fair.


    Pros: Gorgeous DAZ renders, strong emotional buildup in Toby’s arc, solid replay value for taboo fans.


    Cons: Dialogue can feel stiff in places, and some scenes still lean heavier on tease than payoff until v1.200 arrives.


    Verdict: 8/10. If you enjoy believable corruption, age-gap tension, and the classic “mom-next-door finally notices the shy boy” fantasy, the Toby/Adi routes are absolutely worth playing. It’s not perfect, but it’s one of the few games that nails the sweet side of the teacher-student dynamic without going full caricature.

    Ummmh

    This game's writing unfortunately (and very distractingly) evinces a POV of extremely stunted emotional growth and/or near-zero actual life experience.

    For a certainty, the choices of dialogue, and believability/authentic voice of same in various conversations, most strongly suggests a focus on, and experience with agonizing over never having been able to get with girls, and with working oneself up over how unfair one feels that is, to the point of feeling owed/entitled to girls' sex. The dialogue is most strongly characteristic, across the board, of males who have never actually dated, so never learned how gals actually think and feel, with the result being wildly stilted perspectives way out of whack with the seemingly reality-based game environment the author spends so much of OUR time developing.

    The dialogue absolutely reeks of "Nice Guy Syndrome": all too often, the plot pivots heavily on gaslighting guilt trips on our MC when she isn't putting out for some guy; the writing stinks of sociopathy.

    In general, nearly every character is almost entirely unsympathetic, lacking anything reasonably resembling empathy or conscience. Selfish, petty, and utterly inappropriate outbursts seem to be the norm, all 'round, surface appearances only matter, as the logically inconsistent underlying reality shown us is utterly impossible to suspend disbelief for, and norms are based almost entiely on maintaining appearances and what one can get from others, not upon any actual ideals; the general rule on even general behavior is that everyone's just flat-out antisocial.

    This, unfortunately, includes the MC, Christine Watson, herself.

    She is all too often pathetically petty, deeply selfish, and unempathic/non-sympathetic to others, especially in relating to her clearly overworked and struggling husband.

    That John is, himself, often a complete @sshole to her for no good reason, does not negate MC cursing him just for being away (and so resulting in her feeling ignored), even when he has been very considerately calling her nightly, and explicity advised her he is outright fighting just to keep his job (which keeps a very nice roof over her head) in the face of office malfeasance.

    MC is also weirdly dismissive of her son's rights, across the board; the plot drives her to be toxic to him at nearly every turn, unless it's sexy time.

    In general, MC's default first response is to be a whiny bitch to most folks, with questioning that response only coming later (if ever), and that being a rather unconvincing and contrived pseudo-reasoning, in most cases, mostly being the writer's way of leveraging Christine making SEVERELY stupid decisions based on that sudden and seemingly out of nowhere guilt; only some of this is even from self-relflection, as much of it is prompted by others emotionally blackmailing and outright gaslighting her.

    The characters, in general, lack emotional and objective reasoning, and the plot reflects a similar lack of cognitive capacity behind it. Again, ASPD markers run rampant, throughout.

    The Goro housekeeper plot needed to either be far more subtle and insideous, so Christine had no reasonable pushback on John wanting him there, or it needed to full-stop once Goro made OBVIOUS and UNMISTAKABLE sexual advances on MC. Suspension of disbelief only goes so far, and the way Goro getting frisky was handled flew right past that limit, from the get-go.

    The "incest is normal" theme is a bit beyond the pale in how it is (mis)handled. I get that this is a porn game, and kinks are inherently welcome, here, but the author STILL somehow 100% manages to make that element seem forced and malevolent. WTF.

    The college environment looks VERY suspiciously like a very small high school, and the character art sure has a lot of rather short supposedly-18-yr-olds. Again, the game looks suspiciously like a kid's distorted POV on women, and on adults living in society.

    And WTF can't anyone close their gadddamn doors while fucking/masturbating, in this game? Again: obvious plot device is obvious.

    Giving it 2 stars, tho, not just 1, as the art on the girls is often very not bad, and it's clear that effort WAS put in to the game: it is just being held back by the POV being developmentally stunted and empty of any emotional value. And sure, it's a porn game (so who cares, right?), but there isn't even that much sex in it. THAT, at least, might have made it a bit more palatable, if the action was more prevelent, but we are left instead with just a lot of gaslighting, BS pseudo-moralizing instead of holding to actual ideals and conscience, and highly unrealistic and obvious plot devices, despite being forced to grind through the day-to-day to try to create immersive belief in a mask of mundane reality that cannot hold, given the laughably unrealistic dialogue and plot points.

    The storyline is interesting, the graphics are good with a very beautiful female main character. It is very suitable for those of you who like the storyline where the main woman has a relationship with an older man.

    Going through a lot of "adult games" I do believe that Being a Wife is one of the best games of the gender ever released. At least for my taste. I basically download hundreds of games a month and check them all and I can ensure that this is one of my top 20 games. I hope that the game developer will continue the story as good games are rare. Overall it is amazing!

    I’m not sure why this game is rated so low, I all most bypassed it for that reason.
    - The graphics are outstanding
    - The story is great
    - Regular updates
    - Incest can be blocked
    - I find the Goro path excellent
    I sincerely hope it keeps going

    I really enjoyed ' Being a Wife'. It tells a story we all know and love really well. It's not my usual genre but @baap36885 capured me none the less.

    My primary save has only the boy next door and the daughter, not the old coot and the son but I appreciate that the option is there for those who will enjoy that content.
    I know I have missed quite a bit of content by cutting them from my playthrough but I'm pleased with my choice and look forward to more play time in the treehouse

    I don't get to play a lot but I'm gonna be keeping up with this one.

    Solid recommendation

    Visually the game is quite good. Nice choice of models (except there seems to be a consistent problem of skin tone matching for the male genitalia). The one major problem I have with this game is the "animations." The scenes are done where the animation is a shift between two frames for a bit, which would be fine, except it's done as part of the dialog progression. It'll auto-advance until the next dialog, but it's VERY easy to try to skip forward and then miss a dialog box or two from button mashing. It'd have been much better to just have it setup so that the animated shift between frames was independent of the dialog.

    Like the game so far but need more goro scene. Only bad thing is there's to much character now so it'll have alot of branches which will take alot more time to update. Best ugly old bastard hot wife vn imo. Hopefully the game actually finish with christine marrying goro with his kids.

    Good 5 star game, pretty good story and sexy looking Characters. The current plot is more about old man but I am more excited to see other character's plot progression. I don't like the old guy plot very much.

    I played this game once so not sure if there are multiple routes, but even without multiple routes this game is perfect because the wife model is super hot.

    Being a Wife [v1.190]

    Ugh :rolleyes:
    This game combines everything bad from "wife games" and "corruption" games.
    The story doesn't make any fucking sense and is cringy, just like the dialogues that are comedically bad.
    You'll see some of the worst cheating/corruption game tropes of having ugly old guys, young dumb boys in the game.
    I swear, there are not more than maybe three people in this game who are below the age of 80 and above 15. It's such a turn-off.
    The renders are the only things that I like in this game.

    Its seems to be promising and yet the same time some how ends up disappointing.
    Visuals are good, characters also good to okay.
    For the developer, I would like to request give a chance for end user to rename characters and relationships.

    Being a Wife is a game about a mother who builds relationships. It explores her connection with Goro, and also her relationship with Tobey, a student in her class and the best friend of her son, Adi. The game starts with a good story build-up with Goro, and then with Tobey. However, I feel more interaction with Adi's bullies is missing. Most importantly, Amy and Otto, who are introduced at the beginning, have no story at all. Giving them dialogue and storylines could bring the game to a whole different level.

    Being a wife has great visuals and is stunning artistically. The female lead is fantastic; a great MILF perfect for this type of story and setting.

    Unfortunately this is where the positive ends. The game is an empty shell; deprived from eroticism, sexual tension and plot. The story is presented through the thoughts and "inner - conflict" of the protagonist; which is more conflicting to understand than anything else. The main suitor for the incredibly hot female protagonist is none other than an unattractive , poor shaped grandpa. The grandpa in question is our regular everyday loser but with the confidence of a successful millionaire pornstar. Alas, here's the game !!

    I am rating three star because the game sticks to this formula and caters to its fans.

    This is a big waste of good renders and a beautiful female protagonist. The FMC's LI options are an 80-year-old and a dumb boy. So much potential wasted in low-key fetishes. 95% of the written is about the FMC thinking about nothing relevant to the plot.

    So far it's quite good and I enjoy the game, you managed to develop this game in terms of stories, characters, and plots.

    Now the problem is with quite a lot of characters, what kind of story you want to develop, Its fair if people want Christine to have a relationship in every character you made, because it's the tastes of each person. But for me, the main reason I play this game is Christine and Goro, I love the unusual adult stories, and i appeciate you brave to do that.

    So, I can't wait to see the continuation of the main dishes in this game between Christine and Goro.

    I'm sorry but as of right now, both the grammar and general word usage is terrible. I honestly couldn't understand 90% of what they are trying to say and it was giving me a headache. Overall the images were nice and the character models were pretty good, however someone needs to come in and proofread everything and I'm not sure if the developer just doesn't speak english very well, but maybe get a translator as well.

    A really good game, The quality of the media is really nice, writing is pretty decent and the scenes are fine too. Overall a very decent plot and starts off really well. Reason for 5 star is the Dev deserves a good support because there are several worse games out there with not even 5% of what this game is.
    Things I didn't like about this game are some of routes which was exactly the same as AWAM.

    a linear, simple and childish story, no real sense, a girl who gets bored too soon, too lustful and slutty, maybe she has father syndrome, and she fucks a mature man, but I don't find anything exciting.

    The writing is poor in general, the dialogue during the sex scenes are especially corny and repetitive and rapey , and the setting stretches believability so far I'm left completely uninvested. In addition, seemingly every sex scene that does include the MC, is with an old man. I wanted to like it, but I just couldn't. and some choices you don't get to pick after you agree to be with grandpa or others like to back out later on or what not . renders are good but the story needs improving the older verison which was Christine Watson was better was no need to remake/rewrite it into this though .
