Bugs:
1. "Monogamy/Cheating" path: The Brian shower scene triggers the Tuesday of the visit. But it jumps straight to the second scene, where the wife intentionally spies and takes photographs. The first shower scene is never shown.
Constructive criticism:
1. The wife's history flashback goes on for too long, which seems quite a bit inelegant. Maybe break this up into spaced out flashbacks. Plus maybe this shouldn't be done as a "meanwhile" & instead incorporated into the story via a conversation with the husband or someone else. Or potentially through a diary or part of a story she is working on.
2. Cheating path: Maybe file this under "bug". Unsure. Three Fridays have passed since the Sunday Brian locates a place and leaves. Wife immediately signed up on Fuckr the Mon after Brian left & cheated that Weds. But the newly extended Shawn story has been dragging on since then with no progress but lunches and gym meets. Either it's not popping (bug or too restrictive design) or it's set up as far too much of a grind, as there's little to no action for way too long.
Parameters of relationship, in case this is a restrictiveness thing:
As of game date Sept 15:
Love: 100/100
Respect: 89/100
Satisfaction: 0/100
Happiness: 62/100
Arousal: 585
Relationship type: "Monogamous - 'try and make it work' ".
Porn search history: Interracial, then cuckold, then Interracial again, in the wife's "meanwhile" guest-room computer scenes while husband is at work.
If this is simply a passage of time thing, where you feel slow progress is more believable, there needs to be some system to remove the grind. (Though if that is the case, I don't agree on slow progress being more believable, considering she did cheat on Fuckr relatively quickly). Implementing some sort of auto-day fast-forward menu with 3 options might make sense here though:
Option 1: Unattentive Husband: Simply fast forward to the next day (or even week). No help cooking, cleaning, pleasing in bed. Go to work as usual.
Option 2: Attentive Husband - Bad in bed: Fast forward with work as usual, helping to cook, clean, taking on dates, massages, talking about her day. But without sexual satisfaction for the wife.
Option 3: Attentive Husband - Good in bed: Same as option 2, but husband actually tries (successfully) to give her at least an orgasm.
Of course, you wouldn't need to program each daily action actually occurring. Instead simply changing day-to-day stats depending on which option was chosen. Key "meanwhile" incidents can still pop when needed and/or hints that maybe "tomorrow" or "this Friday", the husband should be more present and active. Meaning "don't fast forward this one".
I can understand wanting the progression to feel natural. But for the sake of player engagement & good game design, you want to make sure it doesn't feel like a chore, too.
