got to agree with other comments, the wife is not right in the head. She starts wanting to go to shrink to work on marriage with husband. Then she suddenly becomes a slut, never home, abandons son and husband and denies sex to husband ongoing while texting him pics of her getting pumped by random dudes in random locations? The text responses from the husband to the shrink and wife later sum it up, he has switched off and is basically at the whatever stage and has started shagging around.
I know it is a game and all, but sheesh they would be faster to have an open marriage and divorce later when the kid has left home.
The graphics are top notch, with the initial premise promising, but the continuity in the logic is all over the place and has lost the thread of what hooked me in the first place. The shrink comes across as a pissed off dominatrix that just loves fucking up marriages.

Honestly...it feels like the choices are kinda pointless. Which its fine if thats the kind of game your playing but its kind of its either "Fuck yeah, my wife is being railed" or "I dont know. But my wife is being railed so woo?"

I do think that this is the heart of the matter for a lot of critics of the game thus far. If the choices have no measurable impact, it is pretty hard to get invested. The doctor is all knowing and all powerful so it doesn't really matter what the protagonist does. I suppose that you can tell yourself that by taking the accepting path, you are at least sparing the private detective her degradation, and you can choose not to lead the girl from the party into this mess. You can ignore the wench that the doctor sends to torment you. Other than that, nothing you do or choose not to do has any impact on your relationship with your wife. It really does seem that her mind was made up from the start, and you were not ever a consideration. It is a pointless existence he is living sort of like what Camus wrote about in the Myth of Sisyphus, but absurdism is not for everybody.
