Nice to see Finland making an appearance in a game, but the names are like 90% wrong, I thought they were Russians until Korhonen arrived x'D Nice to see progress from the dev as the game went on, those mouth wide open ones were pretty horrifying and the wife did look like a scarecrow in the beginning. All in all a fun game to play through so far.
I had a good laugh, too. The name Zurkov Littunen as a name for a guy from a Russian-Finnish mixed family would be like a guy named Dubois Brown from a French-English family. I mean, they're both last names - one Russian, the other Finnish. :biggrin:
Also the two guys - the sniper and his spotter are called Zurkov and Korhonen at first. It would make sense if they both called each other by the first name or last name, not one by the first and the other by the last name. If one was called Korhonen, the other would be called Littunen.

Oh, and I also has an excellent laugh reading about the politics in the Helsinki Tribune :D Sweden sending troops to Finland, heh.
Yeah, and Russian armed forces protecting democracy in Finland at the same time. And Sweden thrown out of NATO, right x'D

But it's a solid game otherwise. With a lot of back story, apparently. I like it a lot.

Never heard "cuckqueen" before and it really doesn't make sense. A "cuckold" is a man whose wife has sex with someone else without his consent and usually without his knowledge. If he allows/approves it, he isn't being cuckolded. If he wants it to happen or approves of it he's either a voyeur, a swinger, or a masochist, NOT a cuckold. The scene you describe, (which sounds great, by the way,) makes the wife a submissive masochist.
Not really,i happen to be very invested in this fetish and im happy to see it implemented in a game.If i could decribe the term cuckqueen in two words that would be adoring fangirl.
She knows she is your "queen" but she gets the hots seeing you fucking others,cheering for you from the sidelines ex "Yes sweetie,fuck her!Fuck her good,make that bitch taste every inch of your huge cock" etc.Most of the time a cuckqueen gets slightly jealous after the deed and she will ask to have even better sex with her as a sign of affection.

This isn't what a cuckold is in porn/BDSM use. What you're describing is just cheating. If your wife is having sex with another guy, and you know nothing about it, that's not being cuckolded, that's just her cheating on you. If your wife is sleeping with another guy and you are aware of it, and fine with it, that's being a cuckold.

All of the cuckold videos contain either you are the husband/boyfriend POV, or they are in the shot.

Unlike the traditional definition of the term, in fetish usage a cuckold is complicit in his (or her) partner's sexual "infidelity"

A masochist is somebody who enjoys pain, the opposite of a sadist. A wife cheating on her partner isn't necessarily a sadist, so the partner wouldn't automatically be a masochist.

There is a game called The Adventurous Couple which shows cuckoldry in porn very well.
I can say the sky and my jeans are both red and, in time, could actually find people to believe me and also start calling blue "red". However, that doesn't make it so. Someone with an incorrect understanding of an obscure word, (and it truly was obscure for a long time. I doubt more than a handful of my schoolmates back in the '70s knew it. I only knew it because I read all of Shakespeare for fun in 5th grade.) trotted it out and assigned a similar but wrong meaning to it in the context of a popular "art form" (pornography). Yes, a certain small circle may use the word to mean one thing but that doesn't really matter because they are all wrong. When someone is wrong they should be corrected, lest the error spread - of which this is a perfect example. Just like there are certain circles in which they believe "politician" to be synonymous with "honest" while the rest of us know better. Incorrect information can be harmful.

I seriously doubt Othello wanted to watch Desdemona bang some other guy. (He sorta proved he didn't, eh?) While one of your "fetishists" might hear "cuckold" and think "Cool, he'll dig it if I bang his wife!" go to the man and say, "Dude, I hear you're a cuckold. Wanna watch me fuck your ol' lady?" the husband, knowing the true meaning of the word and not being in the least desirous of being a cuckold, might just shoot the fetishist dead and then turn on the wife. If your wife cheats on you, you become a cuckold. You don't desire it. It happens without your consent. There is no other meaning.

As for sadist & masochist: one doesn't require the other, although it works better that way. Pain is not only a physical sensation. If someone likes to be degraded they are just as much a masochist as someone who likes to be beaten. If someone gets off on their "significant other" having sex with someone else they are getting off on being degraded, which makes them a masochist. More so if they watch it happening while being told how much better the outsider is.

In the given scenario there is no cuckold and the wife is a submissive masochist. Period. ("Submissive masochist" as opposed to "belligerent" or "aggressive" masochist, who enjoys the pain but also enjoys the goading of others into providing said pain.)

I doubt this will be up long before a mod strikes it but, hey, I tried. I'm done with this now. See you in a future release.

Yeah, the Sweden/NATO/Finland/Russia thing was kinda weird but I've read stranger in "Alternate History" fiction.

Last names as first names, though, is a big thing these days. My last name has become one of the more popular baby names in America over the past 20 years, for boys or girls. I've personally met more than 2 dozen of them. They do get a strange look on their faces when I tell them what the un-Anglicized original Irish is. I can see the trend becoming ever bigger: "Hi, let me introduce my children. This is my son, Kowalski, and my daughter, Lipschitz. I'm afraid my wife, Mussolini, couldn't make it."

Well, Kowalski has become a token name for a couple movie figures with polish roots simply because their given name is nearly unpronouncable.

I am a simple man. Anyone with the same preferences as me knows choices to get the submissive wife who will join in with me, Hannah and that foxy police officer (the one the bet is about - I can't remember her name)...?

How long is this game (hrs)? Change-log makes it seem like not much to it, but has a lot of traffic so must be a decent size, yeah?

Spot on mate :biggrin:

I hate that question since it entirely depends on how fast you read and whether or not you read everything available. As Penfold Mole said there's a lot of back story, which for me took a good 20 minutes of reading (I mean, seriously, I read case files while playing a game I was just supposed to get a quick fap out of), so there's content worth playing here.

Plus you can get some nice scenes worthy of fapping to (just keep your dick in your pants until the game tells you that the wife's face was redone from that point forward, she was so hideous in the beginning that my boner ran off).

one things thats kept me going "hmmm" in my head..at the start..when you are on the job with Hotty McSexycop you can tell her you got the divorce papers and she is full of joy...now myself personally..first thing i'd do coming home from the hospital is pack my bags..hit a hotel and start looking for my own apartment...i wouldnt go home to sudden wedded bliss..thats kind of twilight zone...it is an option that should have existed because 1:the step-daughter clearly loves MC more than her own mother...and would most likely..being of legal age..run away and ask to stay with him(in ALL our fantasies) 2:make life a lot easier to be a total Cad in :p

I've been glancing at this game for a while but always decided to wait for a bit for a content to build up before I play it. Well, I'm glad and sad at the same time that I've finally got around to playing it. Sad because now I'll have to impatiently wait for continuation of a great game and glad because, well it truly looks like it will be one of the top 5 adult games I've ever played here.

What I really like about this game is, that it's not just a standard run of the mill straight-to-fucking wanking game but it really has an interesting story to it - which I can't wait to see the end of, though I admit, I did chuckle quite a bit when I read about the Finnish-swedish-russian-NATO crisis, but to be fair, it did show you invested quite some time into looking things up and preparing your story, something I definitely appreciate. I must say that the amount of story and the setting slightly remind me of another great game - The depraved awakening and I mean that as a compliment.

The characters are interesting and beautiful, well, with the exception of the old model of wife - but saying the new model is an improvement is quite a bit of an understatement, so you've already managed to fix that grievance. I really hope we'll get a chance to thaw my sweet Lt. "Ice Queen" McKenna soon though, preferably by showing Amelia the ropes by doing so (double entendre fully intended). :biggrin: Speaking of McKenna, there wasn't a scene with her yet that I somehow missed, was there? Well, except for the peeking under the showers scene, of course.

The only "complaint" that I have is regarding MC's taste in cars because I actually groaned when I saw his wheels. Guess I'd get along with the doc quite well. XD But then again, to each their own, I suppose. :)

am of the opinion that McKenna is the unicorn you'll have to work hardest to get...my biggest question is will the pregnancies actually impact within the game..or will they be the standard endgame epilogue? so far only one game i play with pregnancy has it actually impacting ingame...we need more!!! :D

I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with pregnancies yet.

At the moment, I release the game on a Day by Day update basis, so if you've got somebody pregnant, you need to wait 20-30 updates before they even properly know, and then another 200 odd before they look pregnant.

So I've thought of only 4 real ways so far

1) It is an epilogue, you got them pregnant, it's the ending showing the future.
2) Something happens which requires you to be out of the game for a long time, another injury, kidnapping, prison etc and when you come back it's 6 months later or so.
3) I make a follow up game set in the future where you see the pregnancy canon etc, but this would take away from choice as if the game has Mercedes pregnant and you didn't bang her, it's linear not choice based.
4) Change the updates into weeks rather than Days, however this then would really reduce the choice, if you can hit on or help a girl you like once a week, then really she's probably not going to be interested in after 5 weeks of flirting you get a kiss, whereas this is more accepted over a couple of days.

So yeah I'm not really sure at the moment, I'm leaning towards 2, but I really don't know.

Well option 2 sounds perfectly fine by me. Im not really into the whole pregnancy fetish myself, but im sure it would be a welcome thing for those that do have it.
