Soooo... This game... Fun idea, mediocre execution.
The first thing I want to address is the translation, before getting into the game itself. The translation is VERY meh, either done by someone with a very poor grasp of the English language, or a poorly edited MTL. I don't mind the way the UI was handled, because editing images is a pain and all that. However, there was no reason to leave stuff like "Shugoi" in there, that could have been translated as a slurred "Amazing" or something. Not to mention that there's various mistakes in text that's very in the user's face, like the bit about embracing Saki, which was left as "embrace a Saki"...
Luckily, there's not much story or content to the H scenes themselves, so this isn't as bad as it could have been.
Moving on, this game... which is more of a VN in RPGM with some RNG thrown in for flavor, is a Netorase focused game that's more focused on the VERY literal interpretation of the word Netorase, rather than the more common form of the fetish. That is to say, the majority of the outcomes of the story result in the MC losing the wife. Seven endings are dedicated to it, one for each "bull" that the MC can send the wife too, and they fall into various NTR stereotypes like the hairdresser guy that's a typical playboy, the landlord which is the typical horny old man, the senpai who's the typical "more successful previous love interest" type... so on and so forth. There's also a good ending, which has the wife stay with the MC, but she's become just as addicted to cheating sex as he is and she's no longer able to be satisfied by him, but they're presumably happy together.
All in all, it's a fairly rare form of the Netorase genre (In spite of the fact that this is the literal meaning of the word...). It could have definitely been a very good game... except, as I mentioned at the start, the execution is mediocre.
What do I mean by that? Well. The game revolves around sending the wife to other guys to fuck, listening to her reports on what she did, repeat until the MC gets excited enough and he fucks her. Rinse and repeat until an ending happens. What ending happens depends primarily on the wife's love gauge and the "NTR gauge" of the guy she's visiting. If her love gauge is too low and the guy's NTR gauge is high enough, she won't come back. Initially there's a 50% chance that she won't come back, then 75%, until her not coming back becomes 100%.
To prevent this, the MC has to keep up her love gauge, and that involves taking her on dates. Except, he can only take her on dates after he fucks her, which only happens once ever 5 or so encounters with a guy. On top of that, dates cost money, and the more love gauge you want to recover, the more money it costs. Additionally, you can't take breaks. Every turn, the wife has to be sent to one of the dudes no matter what. While the wife is away, the MC works and can either attempt to make money, or watch some of the videos he gets from her sessions can cause his excitement to rise faster.
Notice the word "attempt" earlier? Making money works though this "flip cards" minigames, and if one of the cards you flip is one with a skull and cross bones, your earnings are halved. That card can be ANY card, in any position at any time. Which means that you absolutely can flip that card first no matter which card you pick. On top of that, the mini-game ends when this card if flipped, so you can end up earning 0 money on a day.
This creates the problem that the player's ability to manage Saki's love gauge depends entirely on RNG. So if you're particularly unlucky and get a bunch of 0 profits in a row, you might run into one of the bull endings without intending too. The only way to control it is via excessive save scumming, or of course, editing the save to have a bunch of money. That obviously works too.
Personally, I don't mind games where the more likely outcome is that the MC loses his girl or whatever. When it comes to NTR type stuff, I even prefer it... but, if the worst outcome is supposed to be avoidable, I prefer if this is via effort and/or skill or whatnot, not RNG. Well, unless the situation involves gambling, which is an entirely different thing.
Moving on. The poor design of the gameplay wouldn't be as annoying as it is, if not for the fact that you're not getting much of a reward for throwing Saki at the various guys that can fuck her. Six of them have 2 scenes each, and the ending scene, which may or may not involve some fucking. The last only has one scene and the ending. So in all, you have a total of 20 scenes, with the endings, plus some minor content for the MC. The videos are re-used CGs/Animations from the aforementioned scenes with 2 clicks of dialogue each that also references those scenes... so the fact that most dudes have 4 scenes means absolutely nothing.
All in all, this is quite the mediocre time-waster. It could have been something great with more effort, maybe even something amazing, but it's not. Rather disappointing in the end. Oh well. Not the worst way to waste some hours...
