RPGM - Completed - Secret Relationship with Subordinate's Cocky Gal Wife [Final] [Hoi Hoi Hoi]

The gameplay is not particularly engaging with the map and it is mostly a time-limited (by steps) go from point A to B. Luckily, the dev didn't make it their goal to iterate this too much throughout the whole game; it is short and the slight annoyance is compensated by the immersion.
The art is not amazing but it is grounded and not out of place. I appreciate simple things more than good looking art when it fits well and the expense doesn't become a deterrent to the scenarios.
The story is good; it doesn't need to be a mistery novel but it is well balanced and has a few surprises that the viewer/reader can follow without it being out of nowhere.
The animations are superb, not in their complexity or SFX, but in the correct use of transitions in combination with the CG. It makes the rather stale art look better. The scenes combine well these elements; a good balance; not a yap fest nor a glorified gallery scroller.

Great short netori game, where her husband asshole

Story: 9/10 - it was pretty interesting storyline to reade
Gameplay: 9/10 - you need to turn on head, check locations then maze,good
HGraphics: 9/10 - nice CGs, animated
Kinky: 8/10 - I was expecting more corruption, but overall it is enough for such short game.
Fun: 9/10 - it was good.

Recommend to play.

"The most righteous wholesome cheating experience you can get from a NTR game"- IGN.
Keep in mind that the guy who made this game is sometimes batshit insane. But somehow, he made a game so emotional that it can make a man cry.
Go play it, but just don't "play" it, enjoy it.
Read what they have to say and i promise you it won't waste your time.

The game is overall good, the H-scenes are good even though the animations could have been a little longer but it's good. The wife looks good with a good body, this is really personal so it doesn't intact the final rating.

The endings, normal and true, were bad tbh, especially the normal one which doesn't make much sense. What we learned through the story, the MC specifically, is that cheating is bad and we shouldn't actually take revenge but just hate them still the MC decides to follow the girl, if you choose "REVENGE" option at the end which goes against what the MC learned... Another bad thing is the amount of H-scenes the other characters have, would have liked to see more. The last bad thing (2) about this game, which is why I put 4 stars, is that if you fail you have to reload another save so you gotta have several saves. The other bad thing of the 2, is that you have to find all the right characters to talk to and the right time which I don't personally like, at least put some cursor or whatsoever that tells you where to go.

At first I thought it was going to be an NTR game, but it turned out to be a wholesome game (I won't spoil the story). There's around 20 scenes to collect and the game is actually fun and you have to manage your time properly or you'll get the bad end. Try it out if you got a couple hours to spare.

One of the few games where the dude cucking the other guy isn't a complete asshole. You play as a divorced office worker who gets with his employee's wife. . OK, you knew that, since the title is as clear as day.

Artwork and scenes are alright, nothing special but I did like the interaction between the two characters.

Gameplay isn't too good and almost convinced me to drop the game altogether. Walk around in a dream sequence and figure out clues about your partner didn't really do it for me. 3/5 is being generous, since gameplay really brought it down.

Gameplay:
+ Short Game, so it won't feel repetitive. No real grinding.
+/- Not demanding. The goal is very easy and you rather walk around. Nonetheless quest-like.

Frequency of Scenes:
+/- As many scenes as a short story can offer.

Dialogue:
+ Story was surprisingly okay. A slice of life cut from someone's life.

--> I did not expect much. But the game turned out enjoyable. Story, gameplay and scenes were balanced if you ask me. And the game also had slightly surprising twists. 6 of 10.

A surprisingly short and wholesome game. The story, the art, and the gameplay were really good. I played both the main game and the sequel. It was amazing. however, this game is a little bit short though. good job developers. keep up the good work.

Cute story. Meh game.

MC is a divorced office worker living a homeless chic life. The girl is your subordinate's unhappily married wife. The story covers the developing relationship between these two characters and the MC's guilt over betraying his subordinate. It sounds heavy and serious, but it's presented mainly as humorous. It's silly but still ends up being a bit endearing. The characterization really does all the heavy lifting in terms of making this a decent h-game.

Gameplay is the weakest point for me and it's similar to other games from this circle. There are a few areas to explore and events to find each day that determine your ability to advance the story. You're on a fairly tight schedule to complete all the necessary tasks each day and it will take some trial and error if you are playing blind. Unfortunately the gameplay really isn't compelling enough on its own to warrant restarting multiple times as you learn the correct route through the game. It feels a bit like playtime bloat to me. I'd recommend just following a guide and treating the game as a short VN rather than the weak rpgm exploration experience it offers.

The art can be a little rough and it definitely values expressiveness over being anatomically realistic, but that adds to the charm for me. All the scenes are short animation loops with sound. If you are really put off by the art in the screenshots then I doubt the rest of the game will make up for it.

It's not a must-play game but if you like the genre and don't mind the art then it's a good time that doesn't take too much time. I'd suggest skipping if you just intend to grab a full save and view the gallery without the context of the story.

Short and sweet game about a cheating wife. The quality isn't super high, but it's nice.

Story 7/10

You're a manager who's living in the park because you got kicked out of your home. Your subordinate's wife has some conflict with you and she ends up cheating with you.

The story gets more complex in that her husband, your subordinate, is cheating on his wife and that's what prompted her cheating.

There's some nice emotional aspects to the game. Your own character is humanized, the weird drug addict hobo is humanized, the wife is humanized. The only real douchebag is the cheating husband. He's just... all kinds of weird and the only one who's kind of unrealistic of all the characters.

There's two endings and they weren't that great. None of which ends with you and the wife together, which I think is a lost opportunity. The True End is just really weird because it leans into the husband's weird sex orgy fetish. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for weird sex orgies, but it doesn't fit within the context of this game.

Gameplay 3/10

Walking simulator. You walk around and get drip fed small amounts of plot. The matrix world puzzle is just unnecessary imo. That or they needed to make it fun.

You can save anywhere you want, which is nice. But the gameplay itself is just walking around trying to find clues and shit.

Art 4/10

I'm not a fan of pixelated art but it can be good so I decided to give this game a try. Nope. The art's mediocre and consists of small looping animations.

And her boobs for her standing art is weird and misshapen.

Overall 5/10

I like the story. I don't mind this type of slice of life style h-game. No dungeon crawling, no goblins, no save the world. Just a salary man and a cheating wife. The problem is the rest of the game isn't that great including the art and the gameplay itself.

I think this type of game would be a good fit for a visual novel. Just tell the story and put in some nice art and music.

Really good game, the ending kind of sad though. I wished the creator could have made a happy ever after, but I guess he was trying to be real. It was a great plot, I enjoyed the story and loved the gal. Kinda felt sad for the osan, wished he could have got a better ending.

This game was short and surprisingly wholesome.. The art and animation were average. I did not expect the story to go in such a direction. The FL actions at the beginning made no sense, but i thought it the usual FL doing stupid things as in every hentai.Surprisingly they kinda tied it in the end. Story and gameplay were interesting to me.

A surprisingly refreshing and original take on that kind of game. A mostly positive experience.
Bad points:

• Pretty short
• The gameplay has its interesting point, but it's more tedious than fun.
• A fake sense of freedom, in which you have to do too many things in a very certain order and it can be easy to get a bit lost. Add in the fairly tight time limit, and you're encourage to abuse save scumming a lot. Failure to do so lead to the risk of running out of time and needing to go back to a much earlier save.
• If you're here for the porn...Well, it's not very good in that department (scenes are too short compared to the effort to reach them, and too few scenes).

I Recommend this game, the art is not the best, but it is good. The scenes have an animation, even that is a loop.
But what makes this game good in my opinion, is the story and the gameplay, the gameplay is quite interesting. And the story, is very good. This game really makes you think in a more realistic perspective, the Ending is quite good tho. Tell to us what happened with the Protagonist in the past, although dont really explain what happened after. But i guess is satisfactory.

A hidden gem. Its art isn't the greatest, but there is a clear attempt and some success. The animation style is little more than some basic loops, but it's at least more effort than some still images.

The game is at times confusing. But c'est la vie. Here. I brought you this guide from the thread. https://f95zone.to/threads/secret-relationship-with-subordinates-cocky-gal-wife-final-hoi-hoi-hoi.137326/post-9394276

There isn't anything detracting from it in there.

Experience it for yourself. It may be hard to push on, and you may find your rewards unsuitable, but as with many of the gems on this site, you must push on. And beyond?

Well. Just play the game.

Absolutely incredible game! I didn't expect such a perky, little gem from this doujin circle especially cause they usually make games with 0 story or character development, just hentai CGs in rpgmaker engine.

The story is a true love story but still fits a netori game and as such it actually broadens the definition of a netori game.

You still get to take someone's partner (netori) but you don't do it through "dark means" like prostitution, blackmail, drugs or corruption which is a staple of netori.

Such a breath of fresh air for netori games especially cause the majority of netori games are shoe-on-head dumb af. It's a deconstruction within a deconstruction.

The animations are hot and the gal wife has a really unique design as well (she looks a little bit like Anaru from Anohana as well). The last (true end) scene is the hottest one, imho.

Game shows that the doujin circle had a well-thought out idea. This game doesn't deserve this beautiful music choice as well. Overall, the plot reminded me of a really famous movie called "In the Mood for Love".

Good job Hoi3!

Didn't expect that, pretty good.

In the last half of the game it already feels that something is different, and not in the bad way (unless you really come here to get what we always get in this kind of game).

Would be a 5/5 if it had more content. As it is, the True End seems like it could be a bit more detailed, but it looks like they might've went with a "And the rest is whatever you want it to be". Had a couple nice little twists and turns, and it being surprisingly wholesome made it a definite plus. Would recommend.
