VN - Ren'Py - The Adventurous Couple [TACOS Part 8b] [Mircom3D]

Poorly animated, renders are range from awful to average at best. Most scenes are still scenes with no animation at all.

The game seems to start ok, then just dips in quality where the lighting in the same scene goes from pitch dark to blinding. You can see the crappy rushed render fireflies and where the Daz model has the weird black lines on character heads.

The UI, dialogue and 'quality control' are all shoddy. There is little to no story and just jumps from one random fuck session to the next and the fucking is fucking awful.

Overall, feels like an old subpar game where the dev has gone back to update the early part of the game to current standard...and the current standard is still mediocre.

This game is consistently doing the opposite of what it should be. In the original version which had 15 chapters, the beginning was filled with fluff before transitioning into back to back sex scenes nonstop to the point of getting repetitive when it should have stopped a long time ago. In the new version, the wife is a whore from the start and walks around without panties 24/7. In both versions, bugs abound. In the original, the animations would cause the girl's head to twist like the exorcist. In the new one, the game is bugged so you have to renpy rollback often, and even when you do the game is still busted, locking you out of content.

I would rather have a game with grammar errors but good pacing.
I would rather have a game with fewer scenes but hotter payoff.
I would rather have a game that knows when to end rather than going on forever.

This is one of those games that just needs to stop. It doesn't have potential as either a work of art or as a novel erotic experience. Just let it die.

Great game, models are really good especially Anne. Story and dialogue seem a bit stale. I think improving the dialogue would make this the best in this genre. The story has not progressed much for the last 5 chapter.

TAC was a breakthrough when it was first published back in 2017 and quickly became a favourite with cuck/swing/share fetishers on f95. The first 7 chapters were awesome as Anne became prettier and more adventurous and the story telling was up to par with Anne's kinkiness. It all went downhill after that with no character development, no build ups to the sex and the story became a fuckfest as Anne became more of a cumslut/cumdump IMO because the dev could not find exciting stories/ scenes to spice up the spicing up. Patrons complained but Mircom paid no heed as income increased. Eventually as patrons left the game, he decided it was time for a reboot with Anne a more discreet/demure/faithful(to truth) character. One is a virgin only until the first pop and it looks like Mircom is a one bullet pistol and is now firing blanks.
The renders are great, the animation pitiful, the story and dialogues from Ch8 unexciting. My rating is 5 stars up to Ch8 and 3 stars onwards only because the character Anne is an endearing slut. It's time to lay this VN to rest, it tastes stale now, and move on to newer stuff e.g. Couple's duet, Watching my wife and Exciting Games are very promising.
Thank you, Anne, for the memories.

Reviewing Ch 1-10. I'm not going to continue into new chapters.
The positives are that there's a lot of content with most of it pretty hot, most of the renders look really good, the wife looks sexy as do most other women in the game, and the writing is pretty decent. The content is sexy but only if you're into the whole hotwife thing, which is something I neither crave nor hate in a story, but I'm definitely not into betrayal and involuntary cuck stuff. It's increasingly looking like that's the direction this train's headed, so I'm exiting at this station. As to the render quality, while it's normally very good, it can vary wildly with low resolution and wrong/inconsistent brightness or gamma. Not to mention, there's missing images and inconsistencies (eg Victoria in Ch 10 grows a few inches and changes her hairstyle in the middle of a conversation, then shrinks and reverts her hairstyle again). Also, more than a few animations are horrendously glitched especially Anne's head, and at least one instance of a giant cock literally popping right out through Anne's first and second lumbar vertebrae during each downstroke. While Anne is pretty, in a some renders with weird lighting and expression choices, she can can look hideous IMO. While the writing is always readable, which is better than can be said about a lot of games here, there are a substantial number of run-on sentences and typos (eg "you" instead of "your" and vise-versa, "to" instead of "too", "the" instead of "then", misspelling "come on" as "common" constantly). There are plenty of technical errors too. There's more than a few lines said by the wrong character. Sometimes MC is attributed to say lines of conversations he's eavesdropping on instead of the dude Anne is speaking with. Sometimes Anne says lines in conversations between MC and a girl, when Anne isn't even in the same building. At least a few times, MC is referred to by his default name instead of the custom name, and once or twice there's incorrect syntax to the MC name variable. Any receptionist in the game displays the image of the receptionist from the massage parlor in the early chapters. The sidepiece Elena also acts in their second conversation as if they've had more than one casual conversation while in line for coffee shop. I played the options at the resort multiple times and can't find any path to an interaction with her that would make that dialogue make sense.

Regarding the plot and themes in the story, the description and reviews had me hoping that this was going to be a representation of a couple in an honest, open-relationship / swinger lifestyle. It started out like that, but it goes off the rails into cheating and lying territory, but with no real consequences for that. Read GrimmjawAvn's review below and I wholehearted agree with everything said there. Given the premise that MC is turned on by convincing and watching his wife fool around with others, that should logically lead to them playing together afterwards. As the game goes on, either Anne turns him down after she fucks another dude or MC just talks about it excitedly with his slutty wife before and after such encounters. This couple fucks each other a quarter as often as they fuck everyone else. I have plenty of friends in that lifestyle who have tried to hard sell me and my wife on swinging / open-relationships. They pitch it as a way to spice up their marital sex life, not to supplant it.
The description also makes it sound like there's going to be some work in getting MC's wife to open up, but it doesn't take long to be honest. She immediately gets on board with flaunting herself and teasing anyone at any time, and pretty soon after that she's DTF with absolutely anybody, and she's okay with lying about it to her lecherous but supportive husband for no apparent reason. At least it's a tiny bit realistic in which circumstances she's willing to fuck somebody up to this point, but her concerns are of when and where, never who or why.
On the gameplay, I was frustrated by the fact that the dev seems to disregard the choices the player makes when it doesn't fit the story he wants to tell. For example, if you play it loyal, your wife still defends her cheating by claiming that you cheated too. Another case is if you decline your bosses pool party invite and therefore Anne never meets his son, you'll still find him and your wife fooling in your apartment at lunch the following week as if she and you have met this kid before. At least one other choice I tried leads to a "label not found" error. I checked the files, and there's no sign of a mislabel. It just wasn't written. It's might be fixed in the third-party multi-mod, but it really bothers me when a dev can't be bothered to fix the bugs in his game for years. And I get that it's the dev's story to tell, and he should tell it how he wants. That's fine, but don't put choices in the game that won't be adhered to in the story.

Should be two stars for the bugs, bad renders, glitched animations, false choices, inconsistencies, and poor handling of betrayal and cheating, but the porn is hot and there's a lot of it, and even if it is about a less mainstream fetish at least it's not futa.

Excellent game that covers all different tastes. If you are looking for a open minded swinging game with lots of fetishes ( almost everything at this point) and tons of dirty sexy sceneries then you just found the best one on the site. Loved all the content up to this point and can't wait for more. This is one of the few on here I don't want to end. Alexa and Mandy are wonderful and I can't wait to see where that goes. If we could get the wife's mom and mc dad back with Alexa and Mandy...omfg. Excellent work!

Solid hotwife genre game.

Would be 4 or 5 stars from me if it weren't for the bulk of images in ch 6-9 having invalid webp headers or something which causes them to crash renpy on load- I ended up fixing them manually because I liked the game.

Pros -
Decent storytelling, variety of locales and setpieces, actually attractive scenarios instead of the typical ntr fare of homeless banging....
Nice side quests like the diner characters and office coworkers.
Good ability to choose your own adventure route based on player preferences - ie do you want more swinger stuff or cuck stuff.

Cons -
Graphics/renders look a bit dated, maybe it's just me....
Animations are non-existent or just static screeens slightly moving poses.
The ability to choose routes like ir/non-ir is somewhat perverted by forcing you into certain interactions off-route; like the first waiter on vacation.
As mentioned before, a large chunk of content bugged in current release.

Time for an honest and objective review of one of my favourite games. This is a must play for anyone who's into the sharing/hotwife/cuckold genre. Let me start with what I loved about the game. It has a lot of fap material with sex scenes galore. Anne has a lot of fun with strangers and friends and truly begins to go wilder with each update. The MC can have his fair share of fun with other girls too and i appreciated it. Anne also gets annoyed/mad wen the MC denies some of the opportunities that she would have wanted to take on. It's feels grounded and provides itself as the consequences of him wanting to share her. But the most glaring flaw regarding that is how it falls off on matters of cheating. It's not treated as an issue as big as it should be whether it's the MC or Anne herself cheating on each other multiple times throughout the game. The game description mentions something about the ultimate goal of sharing Anne but the way the cheating aspect of the game is handled made my immersion lessen each time the MC and Anne discussed it and brushed it off instantly. Comeon Mircom3D, you named the game "The Adventurous Couple" not "The Adventures/Corruption of Anne". There's no longer a Couple if they keep cheating on each other without any consequences. That's my only gripe regarding this almost perfect game minus the oversized unreal 12+ inches dicks(ಥ‿ಥ) going into Anne. Keep up the good work and hope to see Mircom3D achieve new heights with each update.

Edit: I tried the faithful route for both Anne and the MC and Anne still cheats. Bruh.... And it seems like Mircom3D didn't even consider people going full faithful with the MC too since when he first confronts Anne about the cheating with Malcolm she says something along the lines of "you cheated too, so we're even" Bitch what you smokin? She says that wen the MC ignores every pussy thrown at him on the Full Faithful path. Just gotta remind myself to never play faithful since it's no use at all. Previously had 4 stars, one star less now since playing the Faithful path gave me brain cancer and reduced my IQ. ಥ‿ಥ

This game is fantastic. Despite having a massive number of characters it focusses it's character development on the main characters and doesn't go down rabbit holes with every character we meet. The choices are many and they matter. The art is awesome and the writing is decent.

There are some issues. For some reason, despite the MC remaining faithful and not sleeping with any other women his wife will make remarks in late game about him sleeping with other women. This needs to be fixed. Also, in a few places the image doesn't change at the appropriate time with the dialog but this issue isn't that much of a problem.

Some things that I would change: If Cuck=True there should be more dialog changes from the wife that reflect this. There are some but they are rare. Dick sizes need to be more realistic but at this point in the game it is unrealistic to want this changed. Also, there should be an early game blatant choice made by the MC as to whether he wants to sleep with other woman or remain a voyeur and this should subsequently remove all options that would result in him sleeping with other women for the rest of the game.

As it stands though this is one of my favorite games here and I certainly would recommend it.

A misleading game title if you ask me. It's more the cheating couple. Sure, to some degree you can avoid the cheating, but without it, there is not much 'adventure' to be had. Delicate subjects and kinks such as: hotwifing, netorase, netorare, swinging, sharing, etc. ... is tough to pull of and this game for the large part fails at it. I'm sensing the dev has little experiences of this, no offense intended.
After the initial disappointment I adjusted my expectations and just played it for the lewd scenes...
It starts out promising and at a nice pace but fairly quickly it goes from 0 to a 100 and back again. It makes little to no sense.
The looks of the models suffer from the same maladies as the pacing: both stunningly beautiful and frightfully ugly at times. Unless you are a fan of brown teeth, to name just one specific detail.
The animations don't have this problem: they are always of a piss poor quality.
The lewd scenes are for the most part vanilla and uninspired. All cowgirl, doggy and blowjob. That's about it.
Everything just screams laziness or inaptness.
I give the two stars for the times that the main girl Anne actually looks great and to the dev for trying to make a game with these type of kinks.

This game got off to a very good start, but from the second half, as might be expected, the story lost its creativity.
Unlike many ppl here, I’m not planning to write an unnecessary novel that is even longer than the whole game itself... and I'd rather get to the point right away.

I think the whole downhill of this game started when the dev decided to deviate from the well-established Netorase/cuckold path, and moved just in the swinging direction. But the story reached its lowest point there when Anne and the MC's relationship became already "too open"...
I'm not sure we can even call it a relationship when they are no longer interested in if any of them adventuring with someone else, but beyond a certain point, the game was unfortunately about that..
The most essential elements of the NTR, such as jealousy, betrayal and other conflicts, have disappeared. The game began to focus only on one thing, about how to quench Anne’s huge sexual appetite..
Although it's true in later stages of the story we can still find some netorase elements, such as the photo booth part when a stranger finds Anne's photo, but I'm still waiting for its sequel..

Overall, the game will probably never be the same again, because the story, with its many meaningless sex scenes has already lost its true appeal.

i love this game series so much! it's base on our normal couple relationship, so then remind me to thought to someone i knew.
Love, lust, trust is the most part of couple love who can keep and control it to develope couple relationship.

This changes the assessment of the game, because chapter Ch15 =TAC 2 is game scam hopeless. Thanks to stupid ideas and creators and his clients, the game becomes more and more hopeless.
What can I say about this game? A good game is fap. History would never have happened in RL .Because in such relationships a limit is set. We play alternately once a wife and a husband. Anna's story is more interesting than her husband's

The attraction of Anne 10/10
Anne is extremely attractive and everyone likes it

Tony character 1/10 a cheerful idiot accepting everything that is hopeless Anna will think of

Waiting for the new 2/10 release

The character of Anna 2/10
Stupid bimbo: racial turbo slut who lies and cheats without enforcement for the relationship. She wants to be the queen's whore in the world for everyone to know

Anna's slut 10/10
In Ch 15, she'll be a purebred turbo whore, and she'll fuck customers in the bar with strpitizem for cash.
Over time in the game, Anne gets out of our control and becomes a wild, untamed sexual predator who wants to fuck anything that moves and we have no control over it.

In-game elections 1/10 Ch15
Your earlier choices will not matter as they will be ignored in CH15 anyway. In the new chapter, the choices mean nothing, even if you choose something, your choices will be ignored by the game.

there are a lot of different choices in the game
Most routes are jumbled up

graphics 8/10

there are errors such as shaking of various objects, e.g. a couch in one of the scenes that looks as if it was moving.

storyline 2/10
It would never happen in real life

Lots of stupid things 1/10-CH15

Tony, her husband is a real idiot. When Anna refuses to work at a strip bar. He makes her work there. The game ignores your previous choice. I never chose Anna to cheat on Tony with his father, then the game tells me that she did cheat on him after all. A kinetic choice.
Anna works at the boss's house all the time, even stays overnight, does his wife know about it? Anna's boss says she has a big company. Seriously, and he can't afford an office? The boss records Anne without her knowing, and then Anna finds out.

Anna says she fucks for her husband, if so why not ask him who to fuck, he should decide who to fuck Anne. Meanwhile, Anna fucks the stranger. alone without her husband's knowledge. She says she goes to sleep, after which her husband finds her at the bar on the dance floor and goes to fuck someone else. illogical.


Ch 15 2/10 everything starts again unfortunately for the worse. No loading of previous seves. Choices mean nothing. Anna becomes a turbo whore, she will muck for money. Kinetic novel .

Anna selection of sexual partners 10/9
everything that moves, even old people.


choice of sexual partners for a husband 4/10
only a few pretty girls, four mature women, no wife of the boss Anna Cadys, no mature or older women with different body builds.



mechanic in the game 2/10

does not explain the statistics for what we get them for. Fidelity statistics are also not clear how they work. It's a pity we don't have full control over Anne. We should be able to skip boring, repetitive home scenes. We carry out tasks commissioned by mala. I don't know what they're giving us, probably to make Anna even more slutty. Because we are not motivated to perform these tasks, because they give us nothing for statistics.
Tony gets bj. Anna is cheating at a bar. But they are all faithful. Statistics don't change. And I'm not even talking about it, it's a nice reset of the relationship in Ch14 and in Ch15 I have the same what the reset was for, I have no idea. Parody and grotesque



7/10 sex scenes
very hot

Sex Scenes You Don't Want To Watch And You Can't Do Anything 4/10

I am annoyed by the scene in the doctor's office, the scene with the receptionist, the scene at work where Anna is on a trip to New York.

What will the end be like?

And I think Anna: she becomes a turbo whore and fucks everyone for money. Maybe he can't stand it and will divorce her or get pregnant with someone while she has sex. The game says he has an IUD. And the husband will find out about it and divorce her. Or she becomes pregnant with her husband. Their play becomes more and more destructive to their relationship each time. If she had known who she would create later, he would probably never have agreed to it.

My favorite game for so long time! From the First game week (first release).
Special thanks to the developer of this treasure, Mircom 3D. I believe, he is one of the most responsible Patreon creators ever. He really cares about his fans

This is the game that got it all started for me. This is the quintessential sharing game for me. I love how realistic the scenarios start. I love the character renders and I love the choices. You are never locked into a path but are free to choose like a real person. I love their dynamic and I still haven't found a better game.

I'm really a bit torn on this one.

As a wanking game, TAC can work pretty well, unless you cannot tolerate it's tags. Most importantly and obiously this refers to ntr.
I'm neither pro nor con ntr myself - I don't play "myself" in these games, but a made-up character, so, in a similar manner than with incest, it's something that I wouldn't want in my real life, but that can spice up a fictional story nonetheless. If you can take such attitude, large parts of TAC can be reasonably hot.
The game does get a tad repetetive from a certain point on, but it isn't too bad. The story ... yeah, it's serviceable. At least it's not cringeworthy or tries something the author is unable to pull off. There's just enough story to spice up the scenes, which is how it's supposed to be in a game like this in my book.

Even though her facial expression sometimes looks a bit artificial, I like the main protagonist Anne. She, as well as most other characters in the game, has reasonably realistic body proportions, always a plus in my book.
Unfortunately, most males suffer from morbus biggus dickus, which takes away a chunk of realism again, but ... ah well, it is what it is.
Asset selection is a bit uneven, but it's very hard to find matching assets, so that's more like a remark than a criticism.

Now on to the area that really takes away from the quality of the game, big time: production quality. It's really, really uneven.
There are some absolutely top-notch visuals in the game, high quality images with good lighting. In stills, render quality is generally very good without grains.
The animations, however, are often abysmal, heavy with artifacts, sometimes with movement issues like a rapidly shaking head that would be better suited to a horror movie. Some animations are passable, others are really utter garbage. If I understand DAZ correctly, an animation is just a string of still renders, so how exactly this drastically different outlook on quality comes to pass goes beyond me, but it's undeniably an issue.

Beyond the render quality, many stills have issues as well, though. There's a lot of poke-through, which means there are spots where you can see the surface below (usually the skin) through the surface that's supposed to cover it. That happens very frequently with clothing and sometimes with hair as well. There's the occasional occurance of DAZs well known "black teeth" lighting issue, at other times teeth are so white it would put tothpaste advertisements to shame.
In quite a few scenes, either the background or objects in the scene behave quirky, jumping around between renders or even just disappearing.
Sometimes the artist didn't bother at all and you get the default gray DAZ background. It's not rare for limbs "sinking in" a grasping hand disappearing it whatever it was grasping, or a foot "clipping" through the ground. In one scene in an aircraft, there's even a gaping hole in the "hull" of the plane where the artist didn't align the pieces properly.
The frequency of all this is downright alarming and showcases utter lack of attention to detail in this area.

I dabbled with DAZ myself, and all of this can happen too easily, so a few occurances, I could easily forgive. However, such issues are so frequent in this game that I have to deduct a point for it, followed by another one for the artist appearently just not caring about it. It's easy to fix, but obviously he doesn't give a rats arse. Too bad.

To sum it up, if you can live with ntr, I feel TAC is worth playing, but should be played in a way that you are constantly "distracted" and can't / won't pay too much attention to the game's production quality issues.
Once you start to notice those, they are so frequent as to be impossible to ignore, unfortunately.

NOTE: As this is a review, there are a number of spoilers ahead. You have been warned.

More appropriately titled, "The Cheating Wife, Clueless Cuckold" has now become "Prostitute Wife, Clueless Cuck."

Ch 15 (aka TAC2) is complete trash. Writing is elementary, with spelling mistakes in nearly every line. The graphics look horrible. They have lost their shadows and lighting. Everyone looks like plastic models.

The WORST: Regardless of how you played the first section of the game, you are forced to choose between cuck and sharing. This, of course, has no impact on actual gameplay as Anne immediately goes out on her own on their first night back. Anne cheats with the MC's father and has no regrets. She keeps that a secret. And now that secret is used against her to start prostituting herself for another trashy character and relative of the MC. Unbelievable garbage.

Update: The latest update added the remaining days of the vacation and updated content to previous chapters. Added content attempted to make Anne more likable and add some girl-girl scenes. It ended up breaking the majority of the game. But I commend the developer on taking the time to update previous content and add scenes. The new vacation content was horrific. Five days of watching the couple eat dinner. It would be a complete waste except for the addition of a great sex party. The most notable change is the developer writing in a complete "honesty" reset where the couple comes clean on all their misdeeds and forgives each other. The user is not privy to what was discussed in that conversation, only that all is forgiven. No clue what that means for the future. Despite Anne claiming she wants honesty and more involvement from her husband, she immediately continues her affair with Ryan. I guess we will see what happens...

First, the animations, models, and CG are passable. The characters are all detailed and very attractive. (Yes, <sigh>, the dicks are all ridiculously large.)The sex scenes are burning hot fires! Anne is one of my favorite characters to look at... And that is where the love affair ends.

A happily married, very much in love couple has decided to spice up their love life. They agree to slowly move together toward activities that will heat up their own already passionate, lovemaking — following some simple rules. They will not push the wife to do anything that makes her uncomfortable. They will always play together, appeasing the husband's desire to watch his wife have sex. And they agree to always be truthful with each other. Nearly all swingers follow these rules without fail; it is what keeps swingers happily married.

By the fourth day, I was fed up with Anne's character. She has already broken all of the rules AND lies to her husband repeatedly. Regardless of how vigilant the reader is at keeping Anne faithful, she will cheat every time, get angry when she is denied the chance to have sex with anyone (leading to a game over), and is just generally unlikeable.

Both Anne and her husband repeatedly emphasize their love and attraction to each other and the importance of staying together. The MC is in love and very proud of Anne, yet is consistently and repeatedly betrayed. Anne's betrayal cuts deep, not simply having sex with multiple partners unabashedly, but truly betraying the husband with the men she sleeps with. Do not be distracted by all the options and the gorgeous CG -- this is a cheating wife/cuckold husband game.

The story fails at several points. Despite the author having placed many options for the MC to reign in Anne's behavior, any actual attempt to do so ends the game. It is possible to prevent the husband from cheating. It is also possible for the couple to avoid having sex with each other for nearly the entire game with no effect on gameplay. It becomes apparent early on in the game that the only purpose is that Anne has sex with as many people as she possibly can, regardless of how it affects the story.

The most unfortunate aspect of having Anne sleep with everyone she comes across (quite literally) has to be that the super hot sex scenes become mundane. Anne meets an ex-lover on the beach, has crazy sex, falls in love, and adds him to her harem. There is no cost, no risk, she just has sex...again. The latest addition causes the most concern. On a vacation that Anne plans to honor her husband and in celebration of their anniversary, they unexpectedly get caught up on a swinger's cruise. To no surprise, and to great detriment to the story, Anne sleeps with nearly all the men on the cruise and falls in love with one of her former lovers. The husband raises concerns to no avail. AGAIN, there must be a way to incorporate these hot sex scenes into the loving couple's story so that they can enjoy it — together! Instead, we find a husband searching for Anne, who is sleeping with another lover, again.

I want to love this game. And if the author had followed through with the swinging route that he implies, this game would be in my top three! So many possibilities to have the MC involved in hot sex scenes and they are always usurped by Anne's cheating. If the reader had the ability to choose a "faithful" path, where the hot sex scenes occurred between husband and wife with other partners there to satisfy the couple, this story would be a huge success.

At this point, I would rather see the MC cheat and stick with his gorgeous ex-girlfriend, Emma. At least Emma sees the errors of her ways, apologizes for past behavior, and professes her undying love for the MC. And that is the reason this hot. steamy, beautiful game goes limp and gets an "average" rating.

Definitely one of the best games I've ever played. Love how almost every choice changes the story slightly to make a unique experience for almost everyone. Art is more than passable. Really like the stats corner too. Overall a really good game in regards to swinging/sharing.

Review as of: CH14 Monday

This game has gone downhill...

There's not much swinging or equal rate of sex action, the wife gets it all. So, it's aimed at NTR, cuckold, sharing lovers.
The only way for the husband to have some pussies is by cheating. He even barely get to fuck his own wife.

Scenes are getting uninspired, dialogues are booooooring and renders are mediocre at best (horrendous facial expressions) and horse dicks.

Except for some lovely ladies with nice body shapes. Kudos on the various and sexy outfits though.

Animations : watch out if you are subject to seizures...

EDIT: It seems that the game was initially supposed to be called "The Cuckold" according to the save folder. Hence The adventurous couple is misleading.

verry nice ill cant wait to play the next part. maby with a little mod bdsm or group acton . renderings are good some little graphic mistakes but its more than okay . the storytelling is also great . thank you for this great novel
