VN - Ren'Py - My Hotwife [v2.7] [Ben Lucky]

TLDR: A solidly crafted game which sadly squanders all of it's potential.

This review is going to be mostly negative, so let's first get the good stuff out of the way.
The renders are competently done. While the game isn't visually spectacular, everything shows attention to detail.
No pokethrough, no limbs disappearing in the floor or inside someone else, no grainy renders ... MH is very solid in this regard.

Highly subjective, but I also think the wife is pleasant to look at.

I didn't run into any bugs.

Unfortunately, that's about it, on to the criticism.

First and foremost, despite the name, this isn't really a game about hotwifing. Despite the tags, it's also not about swinging or about netorare.
It's a hard cuck game. Yes, it's in the smallprint just below the title, I know, but this is really the major theme of the game and should be more prominent.

MH is also not really a game. Maybe it's some sort of clever commentary about the cuck fetish and someone "playing" the game, but as far as I played the game, there was not a single true choice to be made. There's an "open world", i.e. a menu screen with a number of options you can pick from at any given time, but at no point is there more than one way to proceed the story. The main gameplay loop is producing videos to sell (like I mentioned, this is not about hotwifing at all), then there's a city with half a dozen locations to visit and sometimes other options as well. But all of this just serves to waste the player's time, you have to pick the ONE truly available choice.
The one exception to this "no choices" rule is that, within scenes, you can regularly decide not to do the hardest of cuck stuff ("cleaning up" after the wife has been creampied, for the most part). But no matter how often you decide not to do that, the game keeps asking you to, until, pretty far into the story, there's a psychologist appointment where you can decide you don't like it and the game announces it won't ask you to do that from then on. Until it disrespects your choice and ask you to do it again anyways.
In a similar manner, you can try (in vain) to avoid the hard cuck stuff when it comes to be humiliated by your wife and things like that, but, even if you do, she will (more or less out of the blue) come up with the idea to "cage you", you have no option to refuse and even if you ask her to remove the cage at every opportunity, you will wear it in most subsequent story events.
I could ramble on about this, but I think by this point it's somewhat evident that I'm not into cuckolding and that I'm non-plussed by the game forcing this kink upon the player. Also, the game should be more honest and rebrand itself as a kinetic novel (all the stupid menus could get removed, they're pointless to begin with).

That's my major criticism out of the way. Minor points:
All men apart from the MC suffer from morbus biggus dickus, to a comical degree. A letdown after the wife's reasonable proportions.
There's no characters in this game, everyone is just a cardboard cutout that serves a function. Mostly men-shaped cutouts attached to huge genitals.
But the mc or fmc also don't really undergo much development. There's not much in terms of corruption going on, the wife is eager and willing from the get-go (at least the tags don't lie about that).
Like I wrote above, there are no real choices, which means there's also no player-development.

As I wrote in the TLDR, the game shows some potential, if it had some branches, one hotwifing branch, one extreme cuck branch, and maybe one or two others, things would be a lot better. If there was some alternate progression sometimes, where you could go to the gym OR the massage parlor OR the beach, and it'd steer the story in a different direction, the open world would not be completely pointless and things could be a lot better. And so on and so forth.
As is stands, the game is basically a series of story vignettes interrupted by an open world menu that's just filler and offering some faux choices.

V2.7
Pros:

Cons:

• Sandbox with a lot of dead end branches, requiring you to slog through the choices to find the way to progress.
• Meaningless choices, characters do whatever they want regardless of your decisions, outcome is exactly the same no matter the input.
• Characters look like botched plastic surgery models.
• No pacing whatsoever, without any introduction or buildup to character personalities or sexual tension characters rush straight into hardcore scenes one after another.
• Scenes feel extremely flat as characters try to fill as many fetish checkbox as possible without any setup.

Beginning was interesting and now makes no sense whatsoever. MC was following a certain plan that backfired. Wife becomes suddenly changes her hair and style and tells MC that they should stick to the plan and bla bla bla
It's kind of terrible to be honest. Renders are okay, animations are nothing to write home about and the sub plots have no connection

One of my favorite games

Netorase/Swinging games are a particular setting that we've seen a lot of quality come out of recently. One of my favorite as well

This game does a great job creating a scenario that feels 'natural' enough to dive into. I also really enjoy that everyone in this are all 'good'. Everything is consensual and the wife and husbands relationships only feels stronger as things progress along which I think is a critical aspect of NTS that gets missed often.

The renders are amazing, the bisexual content is wonderful, and the inclusion of a futa/trans character is so welcome.

Just a lovely game that is a joy every update

Great game, although I would like it to build to the cuckolding a little slower.

Would like to see some repeatable events which would escalate the corruption more gradually.

On the other hand I like that it gets straight to the point.

Very good game, well written and with great visuals. The wife is beautiful and for once not a young doll but a real wife. The different situations are excitng, and all characters are beautifull. And the recent updates go toward interesting plots...

started off fun but now it is excruciating to play this "game". There is no longer the "what if" and "do I really enjoy this?" aspect. It is more a sit down, shut up, and watch me fuck whatever I want. Pass.

I really don't like to review games too harshly when they are still in production. But, I do make exceptions when I know that the game is going in a direction that is not gonna jive with me. So here goes:

Initially, I liked the game. The storyline was fresh even though the textwork left a bit to be desired. Still, the crisp CG works more than made up for it. Plus the biggest reason I got hooked on was for the sharing factor. So, to that affect, I made sure to steer my choices towards more "sharing scenarios".

But, for some odd reason the game went full on sub route. Like my choices mattered none as the game was always rigged against my presumption. What it has delved into now, is a full blow humiliation simulator where your wife loves everyone except you. You are just a punching bag at this point.

Don't get me wrong, submissive loving crowd will love this game. It has all the hallmark signs, such as "black dick bull, small dick MC". If that isn't enough, every other guy she meets is hung like a horse too and she wants you to do nothing but wear a cage and eat creampies out of her pussy. If all that appeals to you, dive right in.

But personally, as a guy who just wanted to have fun together with other guys/couples- being kicked out of the equation entirely by being devolved into a feckless pet, just completely killed it for me.

All in all, not my thing anymore. But still, best of luck to dev and his direction.

Choices mean nothing wife goes from 0 to fucking everyone except the mc just because. Don't want the chasity cage too bad, lick the cum out or off her is said to happen even when you NEVER choose that option. This is not a hot wife game just a collection of scenes all boiling down to "look honey you can't even get a bj,now watch me get pounded by everyone I meet and remember I love you" not shaming if that's your kink just implied that choices would matter they don't. Even the illusion of where you go each day is not happening just click until it tells you here is where wifey wants to get banged today.

This is more of a hotwife/cuckold/netorare game where the choices seem to point you slightly into more one direction than the other. You can go full on humiliation cuckold if that's your thing - it's not mine, but no fetish shaming here. I understand the critiques below, but, as usual, I take these games for what they are - pure fap material. If you are looking for logic or intricate storytelling, this ain't it.

So, four stars - why? Well, it serves its purpose and doesn't try to be something it is not. The renders are decent, the animation is uneven, but average and the wife is...super cute. Yes, it is subjective, but if you are a fan of petites (and weary of the so, so common big ass/boobs model) this is your jam. While, at times, her face can look weird, other times it is quite fetching. A small frame with perky breasts and super tight ass, yeah baby. She gets into all sorts of situations - most with the knowledge of the husband, but occasionally not. I'm more of a netorare fan than cuck stuff, but this VN skirts the line at times and presents just enough situations with a cute wife to look past some of the more unsavory scenes. Sorry, not gonna kiss the wife with someone else's man juice on it.

So, if you can look past the porn logic and shallow story and ignore the fetishes you don't like - this is a decent VN. The wife is a petite cutie who gets epically railed. If that is your thing then give this one a try.

I like it, not much for the gae sheet but it's perfectly avoidable, i'm rather talking about the interracial and voyeurism with the cuckoldry, it's a pretty straight forward game with a bit of a grind to see all the scenes but overall it looks pretty great if you don't really care about the plot too much, cause it's pretty much a guy letting other guys fuck his wife, also if anyone got other great ntrs like this dm or something, i'd love to check it out, specially if it has interracial, i'm also leaving a comment if you just want to tag me there too (i'm on the 9th page)

My Hotwife [v2.4] is an NTS game masquerading as an NTR game, though the only apt adjective/genre I can think of where this belongs is... boring.

First off, the game starts off with the introduction of the MC describing how he completely fucked over their entire life savings, and now has to scramble together money to pay off their various debts. Wife's reaction to all of this (as told by MC) is... that she is supportive of MC and believes he will find a way to get them out of this mess? Excuse me, what the actual fuck?
But let's keep going: one day, MC learns of a "simple & easy" way to earn cash fast - creating homemade porn with his wife. But not just any type of amateur video, he coincidentally comes across the 'hotwife' genre, which sparks a brilliant idea in his mind: to pimp out his wife to random men and record them for the internet.

Since this game takes Porn Logic to the next level (the usual scapegoat of poorly-made VNs), the wife not-so-reluctantly agrees to the idea, and by day 3... she is taking creampies from strangers. Yup.

I don't think I need to say anything else at this point, at least nothing new that the last few reviews mention: there is no build-up to the sharing, the choices are an illusion (the story plays out the same exact way), and the MC turns into a omega-cuck. If that wasn't enough, the game devolves into a voyeur simulator, where the player is forced to watch various scenes of wife just getting steamrolled by every dude she meets. She, quite literally, becomes the village whore. Since there is no build-up or teasing, there is no excitement at all, and it feels like we are observers in someone else's story.
The worst transgression is the story menu - the player is offered various select activities they can perform each day, but this all yet another illusion: you are forced to participate in certain activities at certain times, since the wife essentially dictates where & when she wants to go. Hence, giving the player a menu of choices every day is pointless, as you can't - for example - go to the beach on any day you want... only when the wife (via dialogue that you are probably skipping at this point) says she wants or needs to.

This "game" is a kinetic novel at best, and a glorified gallery simulator at worst - no excitement, no pay off... and no choices.

Storyline:
The narrative, or lack thereof, is another glaring issue. The premise is straightforward: a husband proposes that his wife create adult videos to earn money, and she readily agrees. This sets the stage for her to engage with other men while the husband takes a passive, almost servile role in adapting to her whims. Unfortunately, the story lacks depth, complexity, or emotional engagement. The wife's actions feel unmotivated and disconnected, and the husband's role is so inconsequential that it’s hard to see him as a protagonist at all.

While the game falls into the NTR genre—a genre that can explore compelling narratives of jealousy, vulnerability, and complex relationships—it completely misses the mark. Instead of delivering a meaningful story, the game offers a shallow sequence of explicit scenes with minimal context, making it hard to care about the characters or their dynamics.

Gameplay and Player Agency:
One of the most disappointing aspects is the lack of agency for the player. You take on the role of a protagonist who has no meaningful impact on the story or events around him. He’s akin to an immovable object in the background, passively observing rather than driving the narrative. This lack of interaction and influence makes the experience feel stagnant, as though you’re playing as an irrelevant bystander rather than an active participant.

Graphics:
The visual design of the game leaves much to be desired. The character models are oddly drawn, lacking proportionality and realism. For example, the "Black Lord" character is designed with an exaggerated feature that borders on absurdity—his anatomy seems impractically large, raising the question of how he even moves. Meanwhile, the protagonist's wife has an unusual appearance, with disproportionately large eyes and a small mouth, giving her an unhealthy, almost emaciated look. This lack of attention to realistic or aesthetically pleasing designs significantly detracts from the game's overall appeal. The sex scenes, meant to be central to the game's theme, feel lifeless and mechanical, resembling the clunky collision of wooden figures rather than the intimate, sensual moments they aim to portray.
Conclusion:
Overall, the game struggles to deliver in every major aspect. Its visuals fail to create an engaging or immersive environment, the storyline lacks substance or intrigue, and the gameplay leaves players feeling powerless and disconnected. While NTR as a genre can be polarizing, it’s not the genre itself that’s at fault here—it's the shallow execution. Players looking for meaningful storytelling or engaging visuals will likely walk away disappointed.

VERSION: 2.4
SUMMARY: Started off good but turned stupid

PROS:

1. Good looking models
2. Written fairly decent and reads fine.
3. Fap only content for the pure cuck fans

CONS:

1. Basically pure cuck game, MC really has no choice and wife clearly never cared about the MC
2. No story or any plot really, purely eye candy (if you can call it that)
3. Started off better, until it became just one click one event that you can replay, almost like the menu that was introduced becomes a gallery feature.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
This review came late, I played this game from initial release where I was enjoying it and then it changed, updates were small, content was little and the game basically changed into a gallery for cuck scenes. Pity.

There are plenty of other games out there that do much more, move on.

I like this game very much. strong cuckold content that really gets me hard. A bit of a grind at times to get to new scenes but the scenes are very nicely made with good animations and content. I anxiously await the next release so I too can have my next release

Title is misleading as to what this story is about.
Started out fine, then turned into a beta cuck simulator, persistently wanting cuck clean up duties. Say "no", it keeps asking, because "it" really want's you too.

Relationship is completely one sided, and misses the trust, love and power dynamic for a "hotwife" relationship.

Not really sure who this is for, but it's not for me.

Within this genre, this game is fantastic. It does a Lot of things right. Perfect? No. Great and worth playing / supporting? Yes.

The good:
* Art is actually really hot. There are a few screenshots (including those previewing the game) where she kinda looks like a skeleton, but mainly it all looks great. Especially when things get Shiny.
* Sex scenes are sexy - not too long, not too short (maybe a little short, but not Too short), they have some variety
* There is a safeword. Sort've - there is a button in options that, now that I see it, I don't get why every game doesn't have it - where you can turn humiliation down (or back up) if it gets too much (or little) for you
* The humiliation talk covers all the bases you expect
* The dialog is good - good be filthier for my tastes, but it isn't chaste either. And the characters feel like they care about each other... a bit. A lot of it comes from them saying 'I care about this person', but you can also feel it a bit in the actions
* Power dynamic - at least w/ the humiliation on it does a good job of playing up the MC's wife being in control of the MC while also submitting to others

The bad:
* Empty choices. There are a lot of 'choices' in this game but you realize Very quickly that they don't mean anything beyond changing the next sentence, or showing / hiding a scene
* Flat characters. They're props for a scene, never Quite feeling like people
* Non-optional chastity cage. And what's worse is the game asks you a few times 'do you want to take this off' but its one of those false choices where it goes right back on. NMK and feels like this is one of those kinks that really deserves its own branch
* Weird cheating. This is just a pet-peeve of mine with these games... where the characters have a very open and supportive relationship, but for some reason the partner that's sleeping around just 'cheats' with some characters. Like, the MC is totally 'do it and have fun', she's totally 'watch me do this', and then with a couple of characters she just pretends she's not doing anything. Or even weirder, pretends nothing is happening but then has the MC clean her out anyway. There've been maybe 2-3 games that have done this right, where the character has a talk and says "I'm going to cheat on you and not let you see what's happening because I love you and know it turns you on" (and then regularly teases the MC about it but also checks in - 'hey, are we still cool, we still having fun, this doing it for you?). This game isn't one of those, it just feels kinda like separate routes through a different facet of the kink
* Linear - but pretends it is not. There are 'places to go', but there's only really one good option at any given time, so you just click through them all to find out where you were supposed to be next. And then the meaningless choices that change nothing (or at least feel like they change nothing)... And its fine, VNs are fine, and you do get mild control over which version of dialog you see (or if you want to blind yourself on some scenes)... but it almost gets frustrating to be offered empty choices after a while

So TL&DR... not perfect but one of the better ones, worth the download and making up your own mind, and I'll be following it

This game isn't going anywhere. The premises were good but it lost appeal quite soon, now it is a nonsense fuckfest without a story or a real choice. there isn't a real progression but just a collection of meaningless events and dull situations. The game is not bad and I liked the wife characterization but now it's not funny anymore.

This is a 2.5 star game but we can't do that so it gets 2.
Maybe this is a bad review because it is a fetish bias but every path leads to the same result of "my husband (the mc) is a tiny dick cuck."
There are several choices you get to make, whether you push her as a supportive partner or as a sub cuckold. Yet both paths end up at the same place of her demeaning the MC for the fetish of it.
The game itself is good but seems to give you a choice then railroads into a very spefic fetish. Hope you like being a weak inept SPH cum eater other wise the game leaves you behind half way through. It posses as a courruption game with choices but turns into a self demeaning game only real quick.
If that's your gig then enjoy, if not then be prepared to bail out half way through. Good for that first half tho lol

The Wife ain't so Hot, sorry. Not sure what the obsession with plastic doll models is in some of these games, she looks like a childs toy doll and her eyes are wonky as well, lol...sorrrry but there it is. Surely you could find a good looking 3d model they are all over the internet? I mean I'm talking about a fictious character and 3d image not a person so I'm not shaming anyone. She's needs a makeover to become Hot Wife.
