I have revised my opinion of CB on several occasions... always in an upward direction.
The early iterations of the game seemed very unsophisticated to me: a bit kinky but with a clunky, WVM-eque interface and an equally one-dimensional plot. The renders seemed OK, but not great.
With each new version the game improved in every respect, to the point where it's now actually good-to-excellent: a 4.5 star effort. Renders and animations are better, with an improved interface. Character development, while still a weakness, is on the upswing. Most of all, it developed a narrative thrust and an emphasis on its primary kink... which is cheating.
Good cheating games _must_ contain an element of jeopardy, of risk, to be compelling: you have to actually like your partner, and confront the prospect of cheating as a dilemma that requires an affirmative choice. The primary love interest in this game is a sweet, sexy, nice woman; the alternatives are exceptionally sexy and compelling. Cheating hurts her, even though she does not know we are cheating; that gives our choices in the game emotional weight.
I hope that the dev can keep this up... they are on to something good, which could turn into something great.
