VN Ren'Py The Adventurous Couple [TACOS S2 P2a] [Mircom3D]

It has NTR but is not an NTR only game. There is more then one path.

 

[Takao Kinomiya]

Eventually, you are on the deceived side, so there is not much change in my opinion

 

[Pr0GamerJohnny]

The hypothesis is not really that far off... now i agree there is a somewhat NTR lens people look through, myself included sometimes... but this is an NTR game so its kinda allowed.. but lets look at the endings he suggested

An ending where Anne is open and thrills Tony - this was the games premise from the start, it wouldnt be out of possibilities this happens

An ending where Tony has no real control anymore
An ending where he is second fiddle to someone else - Ive put these together cause they are essentially the same thing. Anne starts calling the shots... depending on the path taken this is already happening. Anne has become very much a Nymph and is doing stuff and men without Tony's knowledge. Tony has definitely lost control

An ending where they close things back up - cant see this one happening to be honest. they started this journey for a reason, I dont think there any going back. They have both realized something about themselves in this journey

An ending where he loses her - this would be the ultimate game over, however again depending on your route this is already happening.

there are 5 endings there on various parts of the scale - ranging from spiting up, to going back vanilla all the way to full cuck. but based on what we know from the game so far 4 are at least plausible. Of course as the game goes on, more possible endings will more than likely reveal themselves. The cuckqueen path hasn't been explored yet. the pair might decide to have an open marriage.



I dont think its supposed to be a hotwife-focused game, It has however seemed to become the wifes game though. I do think it would be better told from Anne PoV rather than tony's, she has definitely become the star of the show once she became a nymph

But again, all those things you described are through an ntr framework. And as sagerock reminded above; it's both an ntr and sharing/swinging game (and maybe even harem depending on how one plays).

Why are all the options you listed various states of "someone gets screwed over"? It doesn't have to be like that. Even "close things back up" is silly to me, implied is a false dichtomy where either Anne is screwing around in a way that's insensitive to Tony, or they're a vanilla white picket-fence house couple.

If I had my way, both Tony and Anne would be having their fun nonstop but not letting it affect their relationship; they still put both of each other first, and partake in these adventures together.....ya know.....kinda like the title would indicate

Maybe I'm just overestimating the portion of players who think like me, and underestimating the amount of ntr fanatics here. If so, then certainly it'd be arrogant of me to try and steer the game away from what they like.

I agree with all of you, glad others share this sentiment. Is my memory getting bad or does it feel like it's nearly worse than the 1st game in this regard now? The first definitely had a lot of "Anne fucking around while Tony's out of sight or at home", but at the same time also had several major events they did together as a couple, like the end swinger club (even if anne was still fucking around, tony was actively participating as a voyeur instead of hearing about it over dinner )

Yah unfortunately some may prefer the appearance of Anne to Michael Jackson

i mean...when you share, it should be fun and exciting. it isn't just about fucking someone behind your partner's back. that's what it looks like both are doing. It should be something they do together. he wants her to tease his boss, the neighbor, their friends, etc. they swap with another couple. maybe they thrive on each other's escapades but it just feels like two separate lives at this point.

Thank you for saying what i've been trying to say throughout this page in just 4 lines.

It's supposed to be FUN. FUN for both of them. And there were scenes like this - the early game hottub, or when Kenny comes over to play cards, or the swingers house visit, everyone's having a good time. Not two 'roommates' with separate lives.

 

[sunreaper]

Is this some kind of joke? I can't start a new game, cuz I have to play season 1 and load my save. When I try to load season 1 save - traceback error. Well... cool I guess

 

[asahibito]

yeah i looked at the gallery where Anne cheats with Ryan and Tony catches them. i had him wait till later in the day and Anne tells him lies and he calls her on the bs then leaves to go stay at Dave's. i do like that the gallery allows you to watch the game from that point on too so you can see what happens next. that is how i will see other paths instead of playing over from the beginning since most choices don't really matter anymore. for me, i will continue to play the gallery from those scenes further and i am sure it will lead to divorce since Tony has left her and she just goes on with her cheating while he isn't around.

I assume you are referencing the gallery mod.
I do not really recommend playing the game from the gallery as it does not, and cannot, account for every variable used in the game. So there is a possibility that the following events would not have been legally possible in the normal course of playing the game. The gallery is really only intended for whatever specific scene you are viewing and to then right click and exit when done. It is more of its limitation as a mod that allows play beyond the scene.

I am liking Dave's wife--a lot. I think I'll hang out there for quite a while.

Dave's wife is very hot, unfortunately for me as far as I understand the whole QoS silliness is part and parcel with her character. (unless im confusing her with the other girl, i dunno im getting old )

Though we did get the question fork on if MC would encourage Dave going after anne, so hope springs eternal.

Haven't seen any QoS stuff with her unless I missed a branch or route or fork...or something. The first time I've seen her is in the separation (misspelled in the game) route.

yes the gallery mod is what i am referring to. and i realize it doesn't account for all variables since in some Anne is working the regular airline job and in a few others she is working for Martin. i look at those out of curiosity for what is going on in those paths since i have no desire to replay the entire game from the start of s1 anymore. i go with my regular path first, then check a few of the paths i am curious about and the mod is great for that. without the mod, i wouldn't bother with the other paths at this point.

Is There a path where Anne cheats her hubby without him knowing?

 

[WuzzyFuzzy]

It is implied, but not seen. At least not yet. The "separation" route starts with the choice of the MC either staying in the office and eating pizza with Chloe (?) or going home to eat lunch. If he goes home he watches/listens to Anne and Ryan boinking. Logically, then, it can be assumed that if he stays in the office the illicit boinking still takes place. How that will be fleshed out in upcoming episodes I don't know. I only caught that branch because I use URM and saw the new variable for that route started at that point.

The MC and Anne goes over to visit them at some point in season 1 and one of them finds some QoS underwear (don't have the file to hand so this is from vague memory). I don't think it goes further into any actual events yet.

If he goes home he watches/listens to Anne and Ryan boinking. Logically, then, it can be assumed that if he stays in the office the illicit boinking still takes place.

(Except on the path where nothing happens, obviously.)

Well it's a game with multiple paths and endings. They were presented like that, as depending on the path the player is on, they are certainly all viable options - it's not really about screwing someone over, however none of them are the "ultimate ending" the one the couple set out to achieve. I mean if the player is on the cheating path, it's not a hard stretch to guess that Tony may be left for another bloke or he may play second fiddle to that bloke. Yeah Tony may be getting screwed over here, but Anne has been doing that for the entire game.

The speration path to me shows this option to be viable. The game warns you it could lead to a game over. And this was because of anne sleeping with Ryan after he was put on the no go list... We are yet to see the fallout of Anne's fumble with Martin, who is also on the no go list and a guy who cost Tony's last relationship.

Now I'm not denying there could be other endings. As I said, we are yet to explore the Cuckueen path, the swingers path is not really explored yet, Anne finding out about Tony's cheating is another bomb ready to go off.

If I had my way, both Tony and Anne would be having their fun nonstop but not letting it affect their relationship; they still put both of each other first, and partake in these adventures together

And this would be the best ending, and by no means off the table, it's also the ending I want. It's the ending the game set out to provide way way back at the start.

But look at some of the paths we have now
Both Loyal
Swinger
Seperation
One cheats
Both cheats

All roads can't lead to the same place here. There will be endings that are not considered a win

 

[Kitiuuu]

hi dude damn can i load saves from season 1 what to play in season 2

And by all means, I'm not advocating that every path leads to a hunky dory into-the-sunset ending. My issue was with the relative distribution of scenes in the last few updates; out of the paths you summarized (which I think are accurate), the last 3 have been vastly overrepresented in screen time and plotlines.

 

[Tinez82]

Which episode is gonna be the one where Anne finds out she has AIDS?... Cause at the rate she's going through men seems to be inevitable one or the other has to catch something

Oh preech. This I can get get behind. I've posted this many times. It's what I meant when I posted a few posts back when I said it was the wife's story.

It happened with TAC which the need for the rewrite, but this game is slowly going off the rails.

It's been far too focused on cheater Anne for a long time. And if not careful will be so far from the original premise it'll be hard to get back.

Either the Dev needs to realise the story he wants to tell is that of a cheating wife or find a better way to keep having hot scenes of anne each week

It's fine if a dev want to focus one path at a time , instead of distributing things equally all the time imo . But obviously it's a different topic when the game is a rewrite/remake , of a title that faced somewhat similar issues
