Make no mistake. Both of these motherfuckers are shitty people. Even in his best version, the husband pushes his wife out of her comfort zone because he is bored with his relationship with a stunningly beautiful woman. It probably fucked with her career too since he all but insisted that she fuck her boss. That's how she ended up working as a flight attendant for his sex-addicted father suspiciously shortly after that trip they went on together. Neither one of them cared that they were not practicing ethical non-monogamy because they didn't tell her boss's wife they were letting her husband slip it to her. So the folks that focus on her transgressions and seem to forget all the husband's monkeyshines aren't really paying attention.I mean, cheating makes you a pretty shitty person overall... But shitty people can be entertaining in fiction
First of all anybody who uses "monkeyshines" in a post is all right by me. Second we are all excited to see the new release (me included) but when you think about it we are getting four days of activity which, if you are like me, will take about 2 hours to complete with all the different options. Then we will wait 3 more months for the next update. I wish I had the strength to stay away from this game for a full year to get some serious playing done.. But we all know that's not going to happen. So to pass the time lets make a bet on the release date. The winner wins nothing but complete respect from all the other players. Since I started the game I'm going to pick first and say April 14

I keep refreshing and cancelling my subscription because of this. I want to support Mircom but I dont want to be taken for a fool too.
Well I guess it could be worse. You could support the developer of Jessica O'Neill Hard News. This developer is so much better than him. I supported him for awhile but after 4 months of no updates no communication I dropped him.

Yeah agreed. We would still probably have her fuck everything with a pulse but it is nice to have the choice.
It's not easy at all. Every single choice means more and more work for the dev.
Maybe you should DM him and ask him yourself?

It seems from the comments that folks would be happier if this was more of a multiple protagonist game. But there is also a very vocal faction that would bristle at playing as Anne and making decisions as her. So it is a case of choosing your poison. These are the lessons I'm trying to learn from this forum I make my own game.
Same. But a note of caution, many people on this forum are not typical readers. Their kinks and play type tend to be much more extreme and skewed than the average user, or even the people who pay for Patreon or Steam services. That applies even more so to the majority of commenters. It is true that less than 10% of consumers are moved to comment/critique/complain.

Think about the choices you've been making all the way through this game. Think hard about them and who's enacting them.
Aren't you playing an Anne-POV game?
Yes, it's technically multiple-POV because the husband's banging anyone with an available hole (if you make those choices), but about 99.9% of Anne's choices are presented as hers, not her husband's. That's an Anne-POV game.

Huh? Watsit? In an Anne POV game it shouldn't be Anne or her husband making her decisions, but the player. All the partner's choices should be presented as their own, even if they ask permission or seek input from the other partner. So that number shouldn't be 99% but 100% unless I missed a rape scene somewhere.
I'm not just being an ass. Let's talk about my game in development. X and Y both make their own decisions which are decisions made directly by the player. Each has a fixed bank of relationship points and when they spend them on a potential partner they are gone forever. If they don't spend them on their mutual relationship, it suffers. In the game, neither of them can have sex with anyone (including each other) without the player's affirmative consent and a sufficient number of relationship points. This is my design for my multiple protagonists and multiple POV game. And it is super hard to do which is why I haven't unveiled it yet. It is going to take a lot of work.
Anyway back to this one. Anne's decisions are her own, clearly, but in essence, the decisions of her husband (the player) give her a framework in which she makes them. Only the husband makes decisions that affect relationship points, cuck status, swinger status, and so forth. It is these numbers that determine whether Anne will lie about who she is sleeping with, proudly brag about it, rub his nose in it, whatever. Although she is the star of the show, even more than a co-lead, she isn't positioned as the POV character because in very few instances does the player directly make a decision for her.
Now there is some wiggle room here. At the very least the few times that the player has control of Anne are pivotal decisions. Let's look at a similar game in development called Watching My Wife. I find it fascinating. The structure of that game is telling the story on alternating days, once from the husband's point of view, where all decisions are made, and the same day from the wife's point of view where we hear her thoughts and see what decisions she makes when the husband is not around. But the player doesn't play as her per se, just watch in a voyeuristic fashion as her side of the story unfolds like a kinetic novel. So is this a multiple protagonist game? In structure, yes, but in terms of player agency, the decisions you make are even more disconnected from what she does than is the case in this game. So TAC exists in between the continuum of my game (make all decisions for a couple) and Watching my Wife (make only decisions as the husband and reap the consequences).
So what do you think? This is a more interesting discussion than most of the ones on the thread currently.
