Well technically I could just roll with the pod people and use that to explain the giant head lol. Well that's two that I HAVE to clean up, and a lot that I should. Probably will clean up one or two at a time as I go, don't want to fixate on fixing them and end up in development hell lol.

Ok, minor future story spoilers since I didn't write that very well apparently. When you choose to ignore her or stay faithful there will be a scene explaining that you met her a while ago and chatted, made some drunken plans, but haven't pulled the trigger per se. She is pursuing it fairly hard though, due to your financial means.

lmao, did not notice that either, good catch. I thought you meant this patch that looks like a bit of skin comes off on her left hip...THAT weirded me out...now I realise its the nail of the thumb clipping through there ;-D
Appreciate the feedback
True the expressions are very weak even to my eye, hoping the experience will help me out there.
Transition scenes make a ton of sense, wouldn't even be that much extra work. That's another suggestion I've seen that I wish I had thought of myself haha.
The last one...now you know where the girl got her big head. It's apparently a surprise alien invasion
story. In all seriousness, thanks for pointing that out.It's funny because I remember seeing that while I was testing game and thinking to myself where the hell did that come from? Odd how I remember seeing that bit and missed the hand completely.

I looked at the picture, thought you meant the stretch marks too and then noticed the hand. Only only then I read the following comments. But I didnt notice the fingers during playing. Looks like the marks can be too distracting.
Yeah, I didn't like that as well. Seems like there was no need. But who knows, perhaps they just had a crisis. Also, from a high class prostitute I expect her to be a bit more professional when meeting a client "outside of business".
Didn't put much thought into MC's hair, but I personally rock a messy hair-do(not stylish messy, just generally unkempt because I don't care enough about it lol) so just rolled with it. Would people prefer a more professional looking high and tight? Green mohawk? Samurai topknot? Have the wife's missing fingers come out of MC's head as hair?
Also, wow you guys are blowing me away with the level of support so far...Honestly didn't expect a single supporter on a first release, figured everyone would be too jaded by the number of .01's and abandon that pop up. Means a ton to me that you guys appreciate my work so far enough to support it. Enough feels, I WON'T let you guys turn me into a sappy mess lol.
Everyone else is blowing me away too, even the criticism's so far are fairly well thought out and genuine, actually helpful, not just straight mean. You guys be careful or I am going to start thinking the internet is a nice place lol. Not going to have much free time now, getting too excited to see what everyone thinks of version .02+.

Not bad... here's a few observations;
1- You get to name a girl when all you see is her butt as she's looking under the bed. (I like to see a face when I name a character) (I know there's the title screen, still)
2 - a few images has clipping issues (nipples, wife's hand when she's naked
3 - I don't feel the midlife crisis. I'm no expert, but I don't see any reason to feel a crisis. It's your story, but what if his wife neglected him more, she spent so much time on her career. You could make it that they're trying to get back the magic, this way both routes would work. Also he's loaded with money, usually this means he can live a leisure life. - currently he's getting sex from his Wife and a hooker.... Unless he's got a hard to please craving why would he look else where. Imagine instead he didn't get any sex for 5 years, or it sucks. Maybe getting sexual with young girls would feel more natural due to his unsatisfied need and his natural impulses.
4 - Framing, maybe think of the text when you create an image, give yourself a little bit of clever emptiness near the bottom of the screen. I know you can hide the text, but if you're going it all the time...

All good tips, honestly didn't think of the fact you don't get to see her face before naming, that definitely needs addressed.
The image issues, I just have to ask people to bear with me, really new at this, but feel like I am learning every time someone points out something so keep it up.
As for the mid life crisis, the MC is just now starting to feel it in story sense so it isn't full blown yet, but it isn't due to mistreatment or unhappiness(you can choose an unhappy marriage of course, and that path sounds like it will better reflect where you feel the story is going, but not much in game for that yet aside from a bugged choice that doesn't affect as much as I would like, will be adding to it this update for certain), but a mid life crisis isn't really a crisis per se, it's usually just an older person who starts to question their identity and undergoes some personality changes as they age. Manifesting in this story as some eventual behavior that is in essence, trying to recapture some of that youthful freedom the MC feels like he never had, if you choose to enjoy your time with a loving wife. Think I will also add some dialogue to the last scene if you choose to experience it, to better reflect an unhappy marriage for those of you who choose to go that route.
The framing though is a top notch tip, I definitely need to consider the text box a lot more when setting up a scene. It does seem to be in the way a fair bit.
Just saw that and didn't even realize she was same base model as Our Fate. Maybe that's why my subconcious chose her to be the escort lol, because I do really like that game so my brain jumped the gun a bit because of her slow burn in that one.

Midlife crisis is when you realize that the better half of your lifetime is over. You look back on what you accomplished, and what's left to do. And you think about how your life could have went differently, if only (...)
People react different to this. Some start trying to get their youth back by all kinds of things, like having an affair with a much younger woman, extreme sports, partying and such. Others start losing the last bit of fun they were until then, and try even harder to accomplish what they couldn't get done yet. And there's those who already were a sincere prick with a mustache for their entire adult life, who probably don't reflect enough on their own life to have a midlife crisis to begin with.
By that definition; I am in midlife crysis at age 27...
Well, it's good that you're trying to do that, and I've noticed that (for example in the taboo version the wife roleplays as one of the daughters' friends) but there are some things that need polishing. For example in the cafe "dad" says that he knows "daughter" only for a year or if he burges in the room he says that he shouldn't do that in a stranger's room... Other than that the game is really good and I hope you won't rush it, especially for the older one that seems to be more reserved.

Of course
A wife inviting college grads to her house. NOTHING can go wrong with that LOL
Look forward to playing the game. Cheating wife - insta win.
Yeah excitement got the better of me and I released it a little early. Needed to let it sit for a day or two and proofread with fresh eyes. Kicking myself for those mistakes on the other version, but will be polished up for version .02.
Glad you picked up on what I was going for with the older one, both live in girls will be fairly slow burn( especially with taboo version, not a fan of the whole instant romance) if you are trying for them, but she will take some extra effort.

Nice start. Finally a new game with variables!.
I really lovesarcasm when you have these "games" with choices that not even changed a stats or set a flag in the code.
WTF I'm choosing if the game is not recording what I'm doing LOL
instead here every choice sets a flag in the code. promising
I really love
