VN - Ren'Py - Love, Honor, Betray [Ep.13] [Renio Studios]

Wow this game exceeded my expectations. The story telling is pretty darn good. Slow corruption of the wife. Damn her model is sexy as hell too. Her friends are also very good looking. Great renders and animation. Worth a try if you enjoy ntr corruption female protagonist games.

This novel kicked out another one in my personal top 5 ranking. I do love the quality of the characters and the animation of it. The story around Lacey has so many interesting twist possibilities, I really enjoyed it a lot. Will support going forward also financially. The team behind deserves support.

This game is good for every lesbian lover, I am a big fan of female protagonists, but this game is really hard to follow, I dont like the long descriptions about what is happening in every setup. The sex scenes look plain to me, it could be a good starter for someone who havent played anything before, after giving some other options a try this can be a disappointment if you dont like vanilla stories

There isn't a lot here story wise, with the weakest aspect of the VN is being the blackmail plot. As a reader you feel she should be afraid as your natural reaction to being blackmailed but she isn't and it doesn't make sense. Fear creates drama and tension to the reader and drives the story on but there's none here. The blackmail story falls apart because of this. It becomes very frustrating as you go on and shows how one dimensional the writing is, with the dev leaning heavily on traditional 'blonde airhead' 'giggly girl' stereotypes to the point where it becomes boring. There's no fear, drama, jeopardy, subtlety or sophistication here, just stupidity. The scene between the FMC and Chelsea in the café where she tells Chelsea she's being blackmailed and they laugh about it, dismiss it and then talk about strippers particularly irritates. FFS this is not a natural reaction when someone tells you they are being blackmailed! The scene ends with 'Lacey doesn't dwell on their chat on the drive home, deciding to take Chelsea's advice and just have fun and be safe'. Yeah, have fun and be safe with your blackmailer! If the FMC always submits what's the point as there no surprises in the background story to make it interesting. She didn't take the drugs yet you don't have a choice to say no and go to the police, even if it leads to an ending. It's also justified by her submissively saying she's complying with the blackmailer to protect her husband's reputation, suggesting that she doesn't matter or is in danger only he does, which is particularly annoying. After that you just jump in head first into the corruption. There's no slow, build up at all here, everything is turned up to 11 straight away. You're all in with anything the blackmailer says with no pause or thought. Multiple times you have opportunities to do something, particularly using the private investigator but the FMC acts like a submissive idiot, forgets and then after a while doesn't care anymore. Inevitably this leads you to the conclusion that you don't care anymore about the story.

If you can get past the stupidity it all looks fantastic with a great selection of beautiful LI's to choose from and the FMC is gorgeous. You want everyone and they want you immediately, there's no build-up, you're free to pick and choose anyone as you want. Whether you like that or not is up to you. However you seem to be the sub in every relationship, so you will always be the good girl and do what they want. Even your female friends undress you, make you wear less, force you to drink more and you don't have choice to object. You have no choices once each scene starts. The FMC basically offers sexual favours to anyone who 'helps' her even when she does need help. If you like that it's up to you but half of the time you're just thinking why, as it becomes a series of sex scenes rather than any pretence at a story. The nurses uniforms are funny but ridiculous. Why aren't they wearing scrubs with their hair tied up for a bit of realism? The male staff are in scrubs, patients in gowns, but it's like the nurses are all off to a Halloween Party at a frat house. There's no way you could work in them.

You don't have a lot of choices here except the path you follow, straight or lesbian. After that decision you just have to go with it, which while it is simpler for the dev, it is sometimes disappointing for the reader when you want a different choice, action or view later in the scene. One downside is that often the person speaking is not the person your looking at which breaks immersion. It mainly happens when there's a scene with group of three. For example Audrey is talking but you're looking at Riley but it's something Riley might say, so you have go back a line or two of dialogue and re-read just to check the story. It would be easier if you were looking at both to save on renders for the dev or the correct person.

I really think the VN would be better without the whole blackmail storyline; if it was just a slice of life story about a nurse. The blackmail plot often just gets in the way and it grates every time it comes up, as its done so badly. It would be much easier if the FMC just had the choice to do what she wants to do, without being 'forced' by a blackmailer and just has fun. It's a shame as everything could have been so much better. There so many VN's with great stories out there that look terrible. This one looks fantastic but has no story.

Looks beautiful, not much story with a few large holes in it

NTR warning. Your LIs will fuck other people, without player input. You can skip, but not avoid it.

Multiple scenes where you're forced into sexual interactions with women (outside of the blackmail plot).

Branches are meaningless, because it forks back into forced sex scenes.

It is a shame. The game looks great, the MC is beautiful.

The premise of blackmail is extremely bad written in this game, but since the dev concentrates on anything but their own plot, it is manageable.

There is a variety of LIs in the game, both female and male. Kinks are linked to the LI, and you get hints very early to be able to opt out before bad surprises.
That is until the NTR starts, with the MC witnessing her date fucking with another woman.
No player input, no branching. Of course sold as a big turn on for the MC...

Since she was the only LI I liked so far, I quit.
If NTR, kinetic sex encounters and a really bad blackmail story is your thing, try it.

This one is on the line for me. On the one side, the story and characters bore me from the beginning and the cheating comes very fast with no real buildup. Choices don't seem to matter that much, outside choosing if you want to see a scene or skip, or sometimes if it is hetero or lesbian sex (btw, in general, the game leans more towards lesbian content). Writing itself isn't bad, but the story it tells is so uninspired that I quickly skipped through it all.

Render quality is very high though, and character models are diverse and very hot. Animations are a bit scarce for the amount of sex there is and are decent but not great. And I took the sounds out as always, but before that the music did sound a bit annoying. But no bugs, which is great.

So, all in all, will try a few later versions before deciding if I drop this one or not.

Edit: in the end, the decission was that this game was not worth it for me, so I'm dropping it to 2 stars and abandoning it.

This is an incredible game. I absolutely love its heavy focus on lesbian content, and how it perfectly captures the female MC's descent into carnal hedonism and sexual self-discovery. The writing alone makes it a must-play, and the renders are top notch.
Unlike most other games in the genre, it does not make the boyfriend character into a weak, sad-sack of shit (hard NTR), and instead justifies its corruption through blackmail and corporate espionage, which makes it feel more grounded, all things considered.
The female MC is simply gorgeous (with very intricate expressions), and all the other female characters she encounters are brimming with sensuality and mystery. If you're a fan of female MC games, this is hands down one of the best on this site.
The character development is also great, and the way the relationships progress is believable, with realistic dialogue and clear motivations for everyone involved. It's clear that the developer cares about the story he's trying to tell, and it's not a cash grab,
However, if you're obsessed with seeing dicks in your game, this may not be your cup of tea - the "straight" path is nowhere near as vast as the lesbian one. Even then, it's not often we see a female MC who's not a complete idiot who gets taken advantage of.
So I'd highly recommend it.

Very nice visual novel with beautiful renders. The story-line is on the light side and heavily focuses on the erotic content. The player can chose which characters the female protaginists engages with. And so, it is possible to follow any sexual orientation that one fancies. I like that a lot and that is why I like the game mostly.

Will adjust this rating when I finish the release. Great art! And the story so far is serviceable. But some things are off; like when Anna is riding Greg at the beginning... she looks to be about 1.25 times his size... bordering on "Giganticism Fetish"... which unfortunately I'm not in to. And the girls all seem to have a lot of... fur?... on them. I like that you're trying for detail, but scale that back a bit. And Chelsea looks borderline vampire, with her fangs trying to escape her lips. If she IS a vampire, great... but this doesn't seem the direction you're taking us.

I had a lot of fun playing this game. The renders at the start were a bit average but as the days progress it's obvious the skill of the developer is improving a lot.
Essentially this is a kinetic novel but in general you get to choose who you fuck, there are a few exceptions to this, probably because it's integral to the story.
There seems to be one main path with offshoots for lesbian or straight scenes.
All the girls are hot and in the latest episodes things have been ramping up even on the straight path which is taking more time to escalate.
The blackmail is there but seems to impact the sex scenes very little.

I really wanted to like Love, Honor, Betray, but the game fell short in a lot of ways that made it an unpleasant experience for me. The biggest issue is how the game forces you into certain situations without giving any real choice. I understand that the story revolves around blackmail and scandal, but it felt like my decisions didn’t matter because the main character, Lacey, constantly ended up lying and cheating, no matter how I tried to play.

On top of that, the game forces relationships with another female characters, even if that wasn’t the direction I wanted to go in. It’s frustrating when a visual novel doesn’t allow for personal choices or alternate paths—especially in a game that promises choice-driven outcomes. (fuck Person A or fuck Person B is NOT really a Choice) It feels like it’s steering you down a very specific narrative path, whether you want it or not. Imho the Dev has learnt nothing.

If you're looking for a game where your decisions actually matter and you can control how the story unfolds, this one will total disappoint you.

This Game is nothing more, than an kinetic lesbian Simulator.

Pro :
- great Renders and hot MC

Con:
- forced content
- forced cheating
- forced blackmail
- Choices doesn t matter
- forced Lesbian Content

Don t get me wrong, i don t have anything against Lesbian Content, but i don t like it, if it is forced by the Dev. In this case this Game should be flagged with forced content and/or kinetic.

if the game were only graphics, then it would be a nice full 5 stars, but these games are based on stories, on conversations, on the dynamics of the characters, porn or not porn, but which are well told, after starting with a base of story, the game has lost its identity, now everything revolves around the female protagonist, a traitor, a bisexual submissive with women, a manipulator, she has become everything a husband would have to kill if he found out about her, but as always, we have the implication of a husband, absent and unknown. More than a married woman, in many moments she seems like an escort or a kept woman. nothing, no plot, just a nice set of graphics and sex scenes.

There is actually a lot to like with this AVN and it really started out great. I loved the concept and I love the FMC and the pacing was perfect. But, as it happens in some of theses AVNs, she put the pedal down and became a slut in no time.

For me, part of the appeal of a FMC and a corruption/blackmail plot, is watching the walls slowly break down until she is unsure how she got there but there is no going back.

In this story, her husband is attentive, good looking, all the other women in the hospital think he's dreamy and he can take care of her needs in the sack. All of this, btw, is a plus in my book because it should make the FMC squirm even more. Instead, after banging some dude she has always been attracted to then letting herself get taken advantage of at the hospital by another nurse and a doctor, she comes home and wonders if she should send a sexy selfie to her husband. There was no internal debate. No guilt. No struggle reconciling her recent acts... nothing... just drop him a selfie or don't and then on to the next scene.

IDK... The H scenes are fantastic, the writing is solid, the graphics and pacing are decent and despite the animation bugs that never seem to get fixed, it is a pretty good production with a talented developer.

I am hopeful at some point there will be some consequences for her actions and I would hate it if the husband turns out to be the one to orchestrate all of this (which would not surprise me) but we will see. It's good enough to keep me interested when I see a new update released, but it's not one I anxiously await.

Regardless, I have played too many of these so I may be a bit jaded at this point, so it is worth a download to make up your own mind.

Good luck to the developer.

The game was initially surprising, graphically, soundly, and also the two characters and the plot, then gradually it declined, with the various updates we found ourselves with an unfaithful wife on multiple fronts, men or women, for her they make no difference, a husband foreign and also a bit idiotic, but it's a classic in these games, no important choices. Missed opportunity

+ Lacey is hot
+ music
+ renders and some animations

- poorly done and not many straight scenes. If you are here only for that stuff - like me, save your time and stay away from this.. It's a total disaster. Dev showed middle finger to scenes with men and game favors lesbian crap over straight
- boring story and conversations between characters
- no gangbang/MMF/DP scenes
- mindless fuckfest
- wasted potential for nice NTS/NTR content
- forced lesbian stuff, wtf? a big fucking NO for this shit

Avn without deep story, forced shit and disappointing straight action. Don't waste a time for this. 1 star

Story 2/5
Dident really do anything for me, the blackmail feels stupid and its just to rush things along to FMC will do shit faster which also lowers any build-up or romance, it also jumps around a bit and overall it story dosent really make much sense.

As for the girls its pretty much for people with big tit fetish only, theres barely anything in the normal or smaller builds which makes it even more boring, maybe some of them will have sex scenes later with FMC but i story is just not good enough to come back to this one and see.

Girls 2/5
Mostly boring bimbos, there are a few normal girls but not some you can play with but just watch them have fun with others? happens quite often.

Animations 2/5
Not all scenes are animated, some are really awfull, theres a few that are pretty decent but overall its not good.

Music 2/5
There is a bit of music but nothing special and set very low, some effects as well which is proberly better then the music really.

Very hot, and I get that the dev is trying to appeal to the lesbian community by making the game equal opportunity shagging.

Girl on girl isn't my kink, but the rest are awesome renders. Keep up the good work!

Short summary:


Pretty renders ,some hot scenes, has potential.



Good Things

• Some pretty great renders
• Hot scenes
• Good animations

Bad points

• Character development is inconsistent
• Story jumps here and there without purpose
• Not that many choices
• Narrator explaining everything that happens

TD;DR = good game with female protagonist, who will get corrupted.

Story: 4/5
+ Story follow this hot nurse who is sexually frustrated. Her husband doesnt have time for her. So she will start going out to drink and experimenting. And her friends will try to slowly corrupt her.
+ Nice thing about a plot is the fact, that you mave many choices how heroine will behave. She can be a faithful wife (to a certain degree). She can be a tease. She can pursue only lesbian encounters. Or she can go full slut route and fuck everything. Heh.
- Only downside of the plot is blackmail subplot. It feels slightly stupid. Only very stupid naive person could fall for it.

Art and Sex Stuff: 5/5
+ Girls are hot.
+ Renders are good.
+ Sex scenes are hot.
+ There is a lot of sex scenes.
+ Many times you can choose between lesbian sex or straight sex.

Gameplay: 4/5
+ This is typical VN with choices.
+ Choices will mostly influence whom the MC will fuck (or not).
+ English is decent.
+ Game has soundtrack. It is nothing special, but it gives nice ambience.

To sum it up:
I really liked this game and I am giving it 5/5.
I will recommend this.

first of all the renders are pretty good. there are not many games featuring female protagonists that have the same or better quality.
in this early state there are many lesbian love interests which isn't for everyone. i personally like it.

now we come to the things i don't like. the game generally has a good pacing, but there are some lewd scenes where you think "that escalated quickly". because it happens all of the sudden i first thought i missed something. that wasn't the case.
i assumed she would be more hesitant considering she has a husband. it feels like her husband doesn't exist at all.
that doesn't mean she shouldn't do lewd things with another person, but she should at least not do that with someone she met for the first time.

all in all it looks like a promising game and like something to keep an eye on.
