VN - Ren'Py - My Brother's Wife [v0.10.1] [Beanie Guy Studio]

This game knows how to tease the player, in a good way.

There is very little full on h scenes and none with the main girl, and the scenerios the MC goes through isn't that unique, rather cliche infact.

That does not detract from the fact that these scenerios, with the context and dialogue, are incredibly exciting. Though this game follows the common tropes, it executes perfectly, making though admittedly rather tame actions, incredibly hot.

The art could be better, but once you get into it, just the circumstances MC finds himself if is exciting enough. And the fact that there are different paths to take is also really fun.

Remember playing this game when it's first released. I enjoyed it waited for next updates and as soon as updates comes I downloaded and played. Then waited for next updates. I enjoyed the slow burn cause I always love slow burn. Then game slowly started to become cause there's nothing interesting happening. I'm not talking about lewd scenes but there are other elements you can enjoy like humor etc.
Models are your usual models but brother's wife is good but it's also usual models. Renders are good but not best.
I dropped the game, now I don't even remember at which part I dropped this. I passed on this one don't whether this one become interesting in recent updates. You can try this one yourself and judge it.

Pros: Great Premise and Brother's wife is a good pick for the character.
Cons: Just about everything else; some examples: way to slow of a burn, MC is incredibly passive and will feel just like it's luck if the "seduction" eventually happens, forced side character to try and appease the fact its a porn game. etc.

Yet another "milk the patrons" game...

+ renders look good
+ animations are mid-tier at best

- story is long winded
- too much dialogue
- narrator describes situations that should simply be clear from the imagery
- game has been in development for 4 years and you don't even get a blowjob from "your brother's wife"/sister in law
- developer has transformed the "slow build-up" of sexual tension into a continuous teaser of a game that does not deliver on it's tag-lines (most likely to keep the punters paying)

Title is my brothers wife but your not sexing your brothers wife.
Hence it's bait you're getting milked it has also been in development for years and so far it hasn't gone farther then just teasing and having sex with women who are not the brother's wife.

seems as this dev dev is losing it.
there is no clear direction anymore, so for all we know in the next few years/updates martians, futas or tent.monsters could appear out of the blue, because, why not?
renders are mediocre, writing has its ups and downs, and in that regard solely it would be an average avn.
what makes it an avn to avoid, apart from "slow" burn (Including side characters for no apparent reasons), would be sudden appearance of a never mentioned before mcs GF to solve "slowburn" aka no sex-scenes.
thats one of the worst moves this dev could come with, and he did pull it.
kudos to all his supporters and players.
one star, solely for some decent models and initial devs idea.

Excellent slow burn game.
People who appreciate slow seduction should definitely try this game out. This is as realistic as it can get for a porn game.
Even tho the 3.5 stars was off putting for me, i tried it out and was surprised to see its this good.

Cons:
-It's not for people who expect to bang the girls 10 mins into the game.
-You can only get to 2nd base with the main woman, even tho its light.

In the beginning, it looked like it had potential.
Years later and we're still waiting for it.

The premise is great: a young man goes to live with his brother and sister-in-law. Those don't have the best married couple life, so a good start for a netori game was there.
Playing this as someone looking for immersion wasn't a great experience. There is barely any choice that feels rewarding or that could be exactly what I would want to have done.
After all this time, I don't even feel like progress has been made. Of course, there are a few in-game days. But if that is going to be the argument, we could just add a few time skips. That is a game and not real life, are you expecting me to play the equivalent of six months to see some progress?

And no, I don't even think, regarding in-game days, we should be near penetration scenes yet.
But the little things that could be adding to a buildup don't seem to be there.
The ones we got are basically just the cliché ones.

And the side characters, mostly added just to give at least some action to the game, aren't being used in a way I could call satisfactory.
-The neighbor (Diana or smth) appears basically for a BJ, which is great, but the MC is too passive and just stays there like nothing is happening, basically.
-The sis-in-law's friend (Bella?) appears to have some kisses, a HJ and something else later that I don't even remember. It could be great, but ended up not even memorable. Especially, not even getting a BJ in the pool scene.

-The MC's friend, appears to finally give you some true action. She is initially very sweet but was badly implemented. And the idea of having the MC WITH HIS BROTHER in the pool was in bad taste to me. All the possible interactions with Jen in the pool do not make up for having to get Justine naked/breasts exposed in front of your stupid brother. Even less her kissing him. You don't even get anything with Jen worth of that, to me (to my tastes). At least you do have some alone time with her later, but by that point, I didn't care anymore.

That's totally not NTR, but it feels too much unrewarding to have your brother together in most of the scenes, basically all night. At least he could have been called to work or whatever. It just feels out of place and unnecessary, you know?

One last worry is that, regarding all those wife love, hate, brother love, hate, enemy points and whatever... it may be getting to a point in which they are more blocking options that you SHOULD see, rather than giving you an actual unique playthrough. I mean this in the sense of you choosing an action not because it makes sense to your MC, but rather because otherwise it would be getting some brother/wife points you don't want. That seems to be what the DEV wants, but I find it to be just annoying.


Overall:

Animations:In the end, the few sex scenes we got were mid, average. Decent at best.
Image quality/posing/etc: Some renders are actually good, but not much by today standards.
Music/SFX: I don't really care for the music, I mostly always mute because I don't usually like those same songs being reused/bad sons being chosen. So I can't say much in that regard.
Story: not the worst as in the overall plot, just don't deliver much.
Gameplay/progression: the worst aspect. I don't feel like my time spent in the game is rewarded or fun.

I'm adding to ignore list right now. Maybe in a few years I might remember it and come back to check what became of it.
Maybe my grandchildren may play the full version of this, together with HL3.

This game is not great, very slow, but without the great writing and characters that can make you patient about the good things to come. The characters are unidimensional, the graphics are decent and the writing is cliche.
But in the last update, I got a forced sex scene, maybe this scene isn't in all routes, but in my route (Jennifer love route), I had no choice and was forced to have sex with a character. So I choose a route where my MC is in love with a girl and is forced to fuck another one. I hate it and I'm dropping this game.

This is a really nice game, The brother's wife is hot in a next door hot neighbor kind of way. It is a slow burn AVN so I get why some people don't enjoy it as much as I do. For those who have issues with the fonts - just download the mod that fixes them and you'll be able to read without any problems.

Okay hear me out,
I cannot give this more than 2 stars rating despise this game having a strong plot fondations and interesting character.
Because this is a silent watcher simulator, nothing happens!!!
Its like if you were a shadow bound to only read text for eternity, you get no piece of the action! The brother do get some but after all this developpement, I think its time to give me us a little something.

One of the most draggy and worse corruption game ever. The renders are above average, the animations are nothing but 2-3 renders on loop, Storyline is one of the most used and cliched shit in AVNs and to make it worse it is extremely draggy.

My Brother's Wife is accurate name for the game. 3 years of development and husband is the only one who fucks his wife. When MC in the meantime didnt fucked even one side charachter and only wandering around the house and creep on sister in law like voyeur loser. Its not a porn game, its hardly even adult game, its more like cockblocking simulator which pretends to look like slowburn.

One thing is good is that this dev have so little supporters, Looks like even simps have standarts and enough self respect to not pay this dev for this frustration of a game.

Very very slow progress in this game and isn't even a enjoyable progress, the only sex scenes present in the game are NTR ones disguised as technically isn't NTR, were mc brother keeps fucking the wife while mc watch and gets jealous or not watch but they still fuck and he still get jealous, the bff is trash, the brother is trash and mc isn't that much better, if you want to see other's that aren't the mc fucking(unavoidable) this is a game for you if you don't want other's fucking your LI' or future LI this isn't a game for you. Mc doesn't even seem to be the mc of this game, that's how ignored any progression of him his, he seems more of spectator than the actual mc.
All in all the game don't deliver what promise, hides behind "technically" to not get certain tags and maybe with luck in 2050 mc will have sex and the game has any decent progression by then.

the bad story wise

I endured this thing up to the point of bella's "advises" to jennifer. the"wife" and I took a break because I felt the need to smash my screen. for real.

is this for real?


zero sex scenes besides the "ntr" scene( author marked it like that, not me and it is optional/still happens).

sometimes I as the player felt like a guest to the game. it felt like it wasnt the MC's game, but everybody else's game.
what on earth do the devs think some times?

I lost my interest completely to be honest. it aint worth the effort.



the relationship between the protagonists is maturing organicaly. the problem is, that it matures in REAL LIFE TIME!
by the time the joke of MC will have something with the "wife" she will be pregnant by her husband because they obviously fuck like rabbits and somehow for some reason, the MC who felt jealous ( yeah its in the game), has to see it ALL. but DUH, this "technicaly aint NTR because -insert bullshit reason here-"
-but oh wait...he can close his eyes and go "la la la" because you know..optional/but still haaaappeeeens

game wise the game has some good points and some bad points.

good points are certaintly its renders. very good work and although not top notch, they sure have been worked with love.
the models are above average and again the dev has shown attention to detail so you wont see many clippings or the generic positioning mistakes you may have seen in other works.
also animations are descent, not something to write home about, but effort has been made and its obvious
the story in general terms is very interesting but I couldnt feel it. all I got so far was a bitter taste plus what I posted above. I didnt like it not because of the story per se, but because of how it is presented.

one bad point that certaintly bothered me was the colored text. dev please, keep it simple and easy to read. deep purple text? dark blue? come on man.
options. give options. try to play the game as a player and not as a dev, that would be the only way to understand the changes you might need .

dev could have kept out any and all controversial scenes ( plotwise they were pointless), could have given more options, could have made an mc with balls and not a lapdog. and he could have executed the story progression better in general, cause the plot is there and it is interesting.

anyway. I must be fair. it is too early in development and it might be better in the future so I will keep an eye on it, but it will propably be way way way in the future before I try this again.

now that I had my dose of scotch I will continue to finish this update and hope that I was wrong in my rating

Edit: I wasnt. please, play your game dev. not as a dev to spot bugs or fix the text. but as a player. grasp the whole picture of it at least up to where it is right now. and if you think everything is ok, then cool. I tap out.

This is the first time I've ever played a game with very poor English, and still been captured by the story. The author is not an English speaker, but creates scenes in such an intuitive way, with great renders, that it's easy to be taken in by the sexual tension and titillating situations. I personally love it, though I agree with others that it is a slow burn and does not yet have enough content to make it good fap material. But it's a good appetizer. I was hard 60% of the time that I played this game, and then I just went and jerked off to something else with more explicit scenes when I was done the content. Great orgasm due mostly to the build up from this game. Once it gets more sex, it's going to be mind blowing.

+ great renders
+ great ideas
+ multi-image cumshot scenes
+great characters

-poor English
-scene with the milf seems unavoidable and if it's not your thing, it's a disappointing first MC sex scene (but if it is your thing, it's pretty hot)
-slow development

For f@cks sake, this is so lame. So much text/talking. Please just Shut The F@ck Up already. Even with the points cheat/mod, I find myself just full on, fast forwarding. The renders are pretty decent so I gave it an extra star for that alone, but otherwise, this is just a story that meanders aimlessly. Get on with turning her into a bimbo already.

Oh, and for the love of God, please, please, please, USE A LIGHTER COLOR FOR THE TEXT!!!!!!!!!!!! We can't even read half of the damn story.

Slow burn warning, but it is a very fun and entertaining game. Love the characters and the base storyline. Not nearly as generic as the majority of stories here.

Graphics are solid and the limited animations are good. Not a ton of action, but a lot of setup, hence the slow burn.

Easiest 5 stars i have ever given a game! The writing is spot on, the story is original in its on way, the characters are unique and the adult scenes are spot on. The art in the adult scenes have ghood lightning as well as length. Of course the MC has the largest johnson but that is to be expected. The developer also was wise enough to draw in red head fetish but throw in black hair and brunette, not what you find in most red games.

Keep in mind I like this game , it's an enjoyable premise, but that's all it's been for years: a premise. I feel like I've been playing the longest prologue known to man, because you barely actually do anything with your sister-in-law.

You make plenty of choices that make the characters feel believable, sure, but you'd expect a NSFW game to let me see some bloody sex. Even if it's cliche, I feel like a drunk escapade that grows into some form of sexual and/or romantic relationship would work so much better than whatever's going on in this game, the pacing of which is akin to some telenovella or TV drama that doesn't have the balls to actually do what it's been teasing until the finale of the season.

I mean it's absurd that in a porn game about stealing your brother's wife, there are more sex scenes with the sister-in-law and your brother than you with the sister-in-law. I mean what the fuck is going on.
