This Game is Low-Key a Trip, and Not in a Good Way
Rating: 2/5 Stars
"Natasha Naughty Wife" sounds hella good on paper. Really. A couple dealing with infertility, new people coming into their lives, temptations, the whole deal. The description promises an interactive visual novel where your choices actually matter, shaping how everything goes down. But for real, the execution is kinda trash. It's more like watching a movie on rails than a game you can actually play with real agency...and yes..i have played ALL paths.
The biggest issue lies in the illusion of choice. While the game offers
different "paths" exploring themes like netorare, cuckolding, and swinging, your ability to influence the story is minimal at best. Once you make a key decision to enter one of these paths, you are essentially locked in. Individual scenes and conversations unfold with a predetermined outcome, and there's little you can do to alter their course, leaving you with a frustrating lack of control over specific situations. The promise of diverse outcomes feels hollow when you realize your choices have almost no impact on how a scene unfolds.
This lack of control is super obvious in the character interactions. The convos between Jeffery and his wife, Natasha, are just low-key cringe and have no real depth. Jeffery, the dude you're supposed to be playing, is a total "yes man" who's on board with every single one of his wife's ideas. This dynamic prevents any real connection from developing between them. Instead of the scenes bringing them closer as they face their challenges, they just seem to be drifting apart day by day.
And perhaps most disappointingly, the faithful path is pretty much non-existent. The narrative is way more interested in pushing the couple towards more explicit and corrupting scenarios, leaving players who want to guide them toward love with very few options.
The marketing promises a game where the fate of the relationship is in your hands, but no cap, it feels like the game's hand is on your back, nudging you down a specific, unavoidable path of lust and corruption.
All in all, "Natasha Naughty Wife" is a letdown. The lack of meaningful choices, the couples weird behavior and the shallow character development make for a disappointing visual novel that feels more like a slideshow than a game you can actually control.

Lets see, what the future holds.
