Ren'Py - The House of Secrets [Early Access v0.5.1] [VirtualDateGaming]

MC has anger management issues, this is a bit annoying.
Otherwise, the game is just a tad grindy but enjoyable enough. MC starts as a doormat but works his way up to ... independence? His world seems to be full of completely unsolvable riddles, but he just screams at the women and in return they want to fuck him. This is quite entertaining, and I wish my real life was like this as well. Maybe I should start screaming randomly at people?

I am really enjoying this game. Like others I got stuck on Anna a while due to the gym points issue, but thanks to the comments here I started over and it worked great.

This is one of my most favorite games ever. The AI images look amazing, and the animation is very good too. The only thing that would make it better is to have lewd sounds to go along with the animation, but even without sound the scenes are very fap-worthy. After waiting so long for Sahra action I was a little surprised at how quickly that progressed in the end. I'm not complaining but I just prefer a little slower build up once things start happening.

All that said, I LOVEthis game and can't wait for future updates!

Really enjoyed so far the story is pretty good.

Pros
Good models yeah its AI but that is the future i think of AVNs

Cons
Bit of a grind but you can just skip things to get there quicker
The hot scenes just dont look right they are choppy and well they just look weird

Overall the game i enjoyed aside from the cons, 4 star because the game has potential and i look forward to then next part.

Really enjoying this game, no issues with quests at all other than some don't trigger immediately (eg, getting the first date with Anna didn't work on the first Friday night but did the Friday night afterwards). Clues are all very clear.

I really don't know why the game is underrated, i guess it is underrated just because there is no cuck or stupid loser MC

If you ask me, It is one of the best ntr game out there. Finally a ntr game where MC is not stupid loser or oblivious retarded, he is smart and determined, although he was financially dependent on his wife beginning of the game now everything changes.

He fucks other hot girls and he just does not sit and wait helpless like a loser thorough the game.

I just hope there also would be sound for the videos.

Thanks for the game and thanks to the dev! I really liked the game and good luck.

I originally rated this game 1 star, but upon reflection I've decided that review was bit harsh. I wrote that review during my peak frustration.

I'll say this is a really enjoyable game with some bug that may or may not ruin your playing experience. I've reached a point where I need to send an email to the wife, but I can't seem to trigger the button to appear. I've done everything I can think of to do so.

Perhaps I need to restart the game, but I already did that when version 0.2 came out. I can't do that a third time. The grind in this game is real. Normally I don't mind that if I only have to go through it once.

A lot of of people seem to be progressing through this part of the game just fine, so maybe it's just a fluke thing. I know at least one other person posted my problem on this forum.

Maybe, I'll give this game another try a year from now if it's still around, which is too bad, because I prefer to play each update as they are released.

Anyways, the game developer seems like a decent person who's just figuring things out, so I'm cutting him some slack. I just wish I'd waited a few updates before starting this game, because I really want to keep following the story. I just can't bring myself to go through that grind again, especially without know if that'll solve the problem.

The game ist still in an early stage, but i see much potantial.
I like the game's setting. The dialogue is well-written. You can empathize with the characters.
The videos and images were all created with AI, so the usual AI glitches are noticeable here and there. Whether you like AI or not is up to you to decide, but what's undeniable is the meticulous attention to detail by the dev.
There are very few bugs in the game, and the game receives regular updates. However, it really bothers me that although I can load my old save games after an update, the save games don't work because the new quests can't start.

This review contains spoilers because I couldn't adequately explain why I dislike it so much without them.

While Mike is tempted by women around him, you can have him never cheat on Jenny, but when the music stops, the dude ends up alone. Jenny is likely cheating on him, since she goes away every weekend. She's a bitch throughout most of the game. Plus, it's hinted that she's cheating on Mike based on a phone call he overhears. When the opportunity arises to go check on her self-pitying ass in her office, I opted to let her secretary know that ship had sailed. It's a long grind in order to get that point. After that, you find out Sahra and Anna are romantically involved, and the second chapter ends there. If it hadn't taken such a long time to get there, I might have rated this as high as 3*. Mike seems like a good guy. He's got his shit together much more than Jenny realizes just because he's not driving into an office five days a week. He'll be fine on his own. I never had any interest in Saki or Anna, but maybe some would still find Saki to be of interest if she's also not secretly involved with someone else in town.

Anyway, lots of grind to find out you got cucked.
