RPGM - The Office Wife [v0.91 Hotfix1] [J. S. Deacon]

I really would have loved to give this game the 5 stars, and if it wasn't for the bugs and the janky walkthrough I would have. Unfortunately I only reached enchantment level 59 until I reached a gamebreaking bug which doesnt let me trigger any new scenes and also game crashes quite often (maybe that's also because I hold the left mousebutton a lot to skip the often repetitive and boring dialogs). Judging from the walkthrough I know that my enchantment level should be higher for the progress in main story line but many of the named scenes never triggered. Also the walkthrough, especially in the early stages, is extremly janky. It could be a great game which has a great premise. Even the rpg isnt a deal breaker (although the start is a horrible grindfest until it takes up some speed) but unfortunately dev doesn't seem to have a systematic approach on how to program a game. I probably didn't do some scenes in the exact right order which is why some scenes didn't trigger and now all my "mid/late game" saves are a complete mess.

The pluses: well written and some good graphics. The story itself opens interesting scenarios. Stacey is VERY sexy.

The BIG minus: Unfortunately, it's an almost unplayable grind. Why on earth do developers use RPGM for fap games?????

Played this game a while back and it was disappointing how great it could be.. The game is super grindy and I got to a point where i just kept seeing the same scenes/events over and over with no idea or way to progress. The game is very very grindy and does not really help you out with what to do next. It also as i mentioned just repeats content over and over without telling you anything. The content that you do get is excellent which makes it sad that its so hard to get more of it.

Pros

• good animations
• made me horny at times

Cons

• no options
• hard to follow story
• lagging scenes
• repetitive scenes
• lack of diversity
• aching in fingers from tapping repetitively

Review of v0.83 bugfix 1
I'm not a huge fan of RPGM because I don't see the point and chibi sprites interwoven with high quality CGs feels odd to me, breaking any immersion or suspension of disbelief that I need to enjoy a porn game, or any game in the last 20 years for that matter. I was okay with flat 2d sprites when 8 or 16-bit graphics were what the hardware saddled us with, but we've been able to do better for almost 30 years now.
I saw that there's an unofficial Renpy port of the game up to version 0.70 that's been on hold for well over a year as of the time of writing this review. I chose the developer's version, because I've been burned by other Renpy ports that removed the sprites but still reused the original RPGM map overlayed with Renpy buttons for... reasons? I also thought the extra content in this version would be worth braving RPGM, but I didn't even get very far into the v0.26 content.

I like the premise of a mysterious magical event/object as the inciting incident for a corruption story, instead the usual depravation ploy of cringey dudes with giant cocks. Unfortunately, I saw very little work done on the mystery plotline, but full disclosure: I walked away at corruption/"enchantment" level 19 after I was locked out of further progress, because the game let me do something in a different order than the dev apparently intended (Don't fill in for Simon in the warehouse until you get to level 19). I had tried to follow the dev's walkthrough, but it was inaccurate in a few minor ways even in the first few game days. However, it was incorrect at enchantment level 11, and different from the in-game hint, so my game got out of synch with the WT. To unlock myself, I would have had to replay 4 or 5 game days, and it wasn't worth it.
Which brings me to the ultimate problem with the game. The gameplay is very grindy. It isn't due to the game design necessarily calling for a grind. In fact, each level up is a unique event occurring after a different set of circumstances, which is good. Well, getting to the unique events and circumstances requires you to repeat many of the same events every day. You might see the same generic event 10 times before a change in that event is triggered, and the repeated event is usually identical to the first viewing. Even if you want repeatable events, it's not hard to flag an event as viewed and give a different more concise flavor of text consistent with the fact that it's the 2nd to 10th time the MC's husband has groped her in front of his buddy. Add the fact that skipping text isn't as easy or as fast in RPGM as Renpy, which would unquestionably be the better platform to run this game on, and I was ready to pull my hair out. For example, you are required watch one of two, albeit brief, shower scenes every game day in order just to go to work and try to trigger something new. The commute to the office, whether by train or by car, is essentially the same each day. There's just quite a lot of fluff that can be trimmed from the gameplay that would make it more enjoyable.
The CGs are really quite good, though not amazing by 2022 standards. The animations are lower resolution than I've become accustomed to lately, but they're still nice. The new content in the game might be to higher standards than the stuff in the early game, but I couldn't get to it.
If I get over the bad taste from getting locked out of progressing the game, I'll try the Renpy version.
Edit: I decided to replay in RPGM to see if I could progress the game. I got unstuck, but since then I've wandered into two other dead ends in the game. If you progress too far with one aspect of the story line, you get locked out of progressing another part, and consequently, any progress is impossible. Following the dev's walkthrough is the kiss of death for this game, but not following it is equally perilous. The only solution I've found is to follow the walkthrough until you find yourself locked, then review the walkthrough to figure out where it's wrong then delay progress on a part of the storyline so that you can keep moving forward. The only gameplay here is a metagame where you try to figure out what the dev wants you to do despite his WT and his game hints are lying to you 10% of the time.

I have to agree with others - it's just too grindy for my tastes.

The rpg roam format is poorly suited for what appeared to be a fairly linear story in my 2 hours of playing, this would probably be a very enjoyable game purely in renpy - whats the point of the daily walk to your office and desk? The rpg format is good for open worlds where you can interact with a lot of stuff, not for when you're on a "set of rails"

Renders are good - that's what initially drew me to game, animations are good.

Most of the cuck content i've seen is heavily IR-focused, that was a big turnoff for me, but I'm sure it's a preference for others, I just wish there was more choice.

Edit - updated rating to 3 after finishing current release, there's just too much content here to not deserve more

Amazing!
What should i say - this Game is liberating and Entertaining. How incredible the Charakters and Story goes forward. I realy feel the growing of some Carakter. Its so nice, how each Charakter has his own Identity. Also very ingenious, as the game appeals to the desire.
How the Main Charakter discover herself is beautiful. It speaks perfekt to my own desires, which i not realy live out. It´s so nice how the Game tease me all the Time.
Must say here, im a Man. Since I am not dominant myself, I can feel that well through the game, what I would like to live out. It awakens my inner Beast which wanna take Control.
I play the Game now for 14hours and still not at the end. (Enchantment 52 right now) I realy surpriced, how many times i can wank successively in my mid Age.

Sure, a Game is a Game but - I silently wonder why I am so canted in normal life when im plying Games like this. This Game is more than only Entertainment in my Eys. Or maybe im just to Creepy.
Im happy that my Enlgish is good enough for playing(native Language is German)

Game runs fine for me i had only one Crash - a savegame load Failure. Sure, you do some things in a Circle but "if i want someting, im ready to do someting for it". The Story lead me always the Way, so i know what I need doing next. The Hints realy helpful too. Some self exploring was nice too - SideQuest like sex with the Dog. I Played Game Version 0.80.
Cant say there is someting bad on this Game. It perfectly stole my Time and Satisfied my pleasures.



Thanks for this Incredible Game! - The detailed work and your Imagination.

Not worth the time and effort.
Good:
- art
- overall idea and events
Bad:
- progression/corruption
- repetitiveness
- gameplay

Overall the game would be a decent corruption game, as art and events are hot, but the way you progress here is by doing one exact event after another without anything guiding you forward. At the beginning such a system is not much of an issue, as you just do you daily routine and events happen, but after that you get some "freedom" where around half of the required events is a guess work.
Walkthrough is a mess so after the intro use it only as a suggestion.
The nail in the coffin for me was corruption in this game, the intro is fine in that regard, but after it's over you are stuck and MC will be about the same around v0.65 version content where i dropped off.

3/5, not recommended.

Very grindy and feel lost at times but if you get beyond that, it's great. Always a fan of corruption and it's hard to find a proper corruption game these days.
I want to see more and I hope the dev continues this project.

As lots of other reviews have already stated, this game is a grind that desperately needs a detailed in-game guide, the ability to opt-out of certain scenes (without stalling the plot), and a wholesale rethink of the path that Stacey must follow as she descends. No need to comment further on those elements, which on their own could drive a very low rating for this game.

A little constructive feedback for the developer:

Amulet / demon / goddess aside, Stacey really needs to be a bit more selective, at least in her choice of bulls. I know preferences vary, and there are plenty of situations in which widely varying types of men might find opportunities to take advantage of her.

But can we at least agree that Nate isn't one of them? He's a customer service rep for god's sake. He's not someone in a position of power over Stacey or her husband; he's not wealthy or fit or good looking or charming. And his personality is obnoxious and off-putting. Just really hard to believe that any woman in any reality would agree to that guy as her bull.

Jim and Michael are Stacey's / Jason's bosses, successful and clearly dominant. Doug is also an obvious alpha, and is someone that could become Jason's boss, creating a logical plotline for him in the bull role. The landlord, the cop, some of the other business owners...plenty of scenarios in which they could all be believable bulls for Stacey. And yes some of them do eventually get there. But Nate? OMG no.

Which is a shame, because Stacey and Nate's first night together was a very well done scene, one that would have been wonderful if it had been with anyone else.

Now the positive feedback, and it's really positive: this game contains an astounding amount of content. It's clear that the developer has continuously improved his skills over the course of the game's development. The game also delivers some of the best writing on Patreon, and most importantly, it contains two or three most erotic scenes ever created for a game of this genre.

Alot of open story lines as of Version 0.80, and I do want to see how those ultimately play out. But I'm even more interested in watching this developer continue to hone his skills and launch a new game with a more cohesive cast of characters, and a more choice-driven approach to various fetishes.

5 stars for the handful of amazing scenes, 1 star for the rudderless grind and some of the throwaway characters. 3 stars overall

The Office Wife [v0.80] review

What it is: "Repeat everything a million times"-the game. OR: "Boring office work simulator" with a few lewds.
Yea, that sums it up pretty nicely. This game has some serious issues with pacing, so if you're easily bored then this game definitely isn't for you. This game is filled to the brim with exciting filler content such as: "taking the bus to work", or "sitting in a boring meeting", or "repeating the same fucking scenes 50 times or more".
It's repeat, repeat repeat then repeat some more. And the in-game guide sends you on infinite loops. When what you need to do is talk to someone to progress, the in-game guide will tell you to go have lunch. If you follow the guide you'll be stuck forever. Using a walkthrough is absolutely mandatory if you don't enjoy banging your head against a wall for the rest of eternity.

This game should have been made in Ren'Py, without the enormous amount of RPGM filler content.

Now with that out of the way, there are some things that are actually praiseworty in this game. There's some quite hot scenes in this game, and the animations/renders are of decent quality. Just be ready for the GRIND if you decide to try this, and make sure you have 20 or so hours of spare time.

Honestly, it's a hard pass if you value your free time even just a little.

Just Great. Play it and U know. This is for you if you like to corrupt the female in this case the Protagonist hope this game gets even more attention. for me it lacks a bit of a guide at first but it is Great compare to others. maybe once the game is completed i can see my self playing this again no problem what so ever. and everything kinda make sense because the girl gets corrupted slowly not instantly isnt un realistic but yeah i love it

The game is based on the book of the same name, but it is completely different. We have an attractive female figure. Staicy, a terribly cheerful, stupid bimbo idiot, has a husband who has no time for her and is busy. Everything changes when Staicy puts on a mysterious amulet that she will never take off again, or tries to take it off by doing it clumsily, or the game ends. she became a prisoner of the amulet, which forces her to fuck everything that moves in order for the goddess of this amulet to be reborn.

-
The story could have been interesting, but it is poorly guided from the start.
you can't get rid of corruption which is terribly weak and hopeless.

-
There are no choices in the game, everything is linear

-
bugs in the game, there are a lot of bugs that prevent you from continuing the game. The developer tries to fix bugs on the fly, but there will be new ones (Staicy may get stuck on the train, the game will crash and your progress will disappear because you can't play any more) and you cry and restart the game or you quit it out of anger.
-
there is only one route of corruption, which is boring and hopeless,

-
you can't avoid forced scenes

-
game mechanics We collect some spells that unlock the level of corruption Stacy then the old ones do not collect dark points so that the darkness is not consumed by Staicy because the end of the game wtf
-
playing is boring grinding without skipping the same. Searching for characters and getting boring spells needed for corruption

-
Stacy becomes a turbo whore very quickly

-
The in-game dialogues are written for an idiot. E.g. Stacy says she should wear long pants to work then she doesn't why because dev gave us no choice.

-
empty rape simulator
+

Stacy is very sexy

+
music -3

+
game scenes -4

gameplay -1

I wonder what the goals of this game are: Stacy is going to be the queen of whores in the world. ?
I played a long time ago I don't remember what version it was and I went back to the newest one but nothing has changed.If you like a lot of forced sex that cannot be avoided in this game, you might like it. You have to be patient in this game, there is a lot of unnecessary grind.

This is in my opinion one of the best games available. While not perfect by any means it is very enjoyable and at the time of writing this, there is a lot of content covering a good number of fetishes. If you love corruption and NTR content then you will love this. The models are great and the scenes are very hot. It's impossible for a developer to please everyone but hats off to J.S Deacon for putting in so much great varied content for all us pervs. The only thing it needs is a gloryhole or two or three in the bathroom at the office. The possibilities for awesome repeatable encounters with so many employees would be great and should be pretty easy to do. Anyway the game is great and I always get excited when another update is released.

I've played this through until the planned video to get rid of Bruce fails but Stacy gets a new "job" at the company and would comment as below:
1. Stacy is 1 super hot girl.
2. Writing is good and is sometimes very sexy in general, however, too much rape which I hate to see in a game.
3. The worst decision is the engine in this game, which is for a role play game instead of a visual novel, which in effect this is. A Ren’Py novel would have been much better as most decisions are not required to progress the story. It would be better if the developer used Ren’Py gave the best choices as an option rather than simple options, e.g. to work with Polly or Jim; if either needs to be worked with to progress the story that should be indicated to avoid unnecessary days unless the player so chooses.
4. Not developing this as a visual novel is made worse because there is loads of repetitions each day which can’t be avoided and makes much of the gameplay redundant and time consuming e.g. taking a shower, dressing, drinking coffee and taking the subway and doing the same chores at work loads of times during the course of this game in order to trigger story advancements and new scenes…. At least there should be a skip option.
5. The game progresses using enhancements and sometimes these took me a while to find; more repeated days.
6. There is no realistic way to avoid some of the kinks that the player may not wish to see (e.g. spanking, having to lick her boss's shoes & I guess that will also apply to the dog). Also the game is advertised as, in essence, a corruption story but it includes rape (a hate of mine).
7. The boyfriend is a waste of space.
8. I know it’s a story but given how often the MC has unprotected sex while not using birth control how doesn’t she get pregnant?! Surely there should be a chance on each occasion with the option to proceed whilst remaining pregnant or terminating? At the very least that she needs to terminate or simply go on the pill to progress.
9. I can't seem to complete all the stuff in the later updates which is frustrating and I guess from some of the comments that the game contains various unresolved bugs which haven't been corrected as yet.
10. Having said the above I still like the game, probably because how hot Stacy is super hot and there's bonus of some extra scenes if you explore a bit (with the policeman and in the toilet outside Stacy's workplace at night), hence 3 stars.
Shame as I got frustrated with it at this point... Guess best to leave it for a bit and hope that the bugs mentioned in above posts are corrected.

I played a couple of corruption games made with rpgmaker before and this one is definitely one of the better ones. The graphics are awesome. The erotic content never ends once you're further into the game. The scenes are various and creative.

Why only 4 stars?

1. The game takes ages to play. You have to redo the same game cycle over and over again while hoping to do them in the right order to unlock new events. Also most new events incorporate prior events aswell. During my first play (until I got stuck at enchantment 52) I accidently left out talking to a stranger and never got to see a specific scene as a result.

2. It starts as corruption but ends up being more and more dark rape content.

3. The main story barely impacts the gameplay and the whole medallion thing could easily be removed from the story without having a huge impact. I think the medallion is basically giving her powers so the writer can excuse all the rape by saying: "She had the power to fight it but didn't." Also it makes no sense that she doesn't use her powers in many situations that are clearly uncomfortable for her.

4. Her boyfriend is a pathetic loser who doesn't do anything for her. Why would a girl like that have a loser like him around?

I dig this game but I don't recommend playing it unless you have loads of patience and time. The time consuming repetetiveness of it might brainwash you into becoming a perv in real life.

RPGM so it's usual the type of game I don't bother with
That being said I played the unofficial renpy version and thoroughly enjoy it.

Shame that it's a linier story with basically no choices but that's what makes it being RPGM even more pointless/confusing.
Will be playing any future releases that get a renpy version as a VN I'd give it a strong 7/10.

The office wife, usually isn’t my kind of kink, because playing a female protagonist as a straight male doesn’t work well for many reasons:

Men are men, women are women, you’ll never be able to truly “feel into”/walk in the shoes of the opposite sex. Women are different from men, not only biologically, but also in their thinking and feeling and most often also in their desires, no matter what modern day gender agenda / propaganda says. Even with a high level of empathy, there are boundaries of truly empathizing with the opposite sex.

Therefore usually male developers making female protagonist games end up making a game, where the initially innocent protagonist girl becomes the worst slut in town, who will open her legs for just anyone. Sure, it’s a game, an erotic fantasy, which especially satisfies the humiliation kink, but not very much realistic.

The office wife unfortunately is exactly that. The model of Stacy, the female protagonist, is stunning, a “trophy/dream wife/gf” most men would crave for in real life, if she was a real person. The dev included some magic/fantasy going on to make up for the lack of logic. Stacy seems to be possessed by an ancient fertility/love goddess Inanna, who turns her into a total slut. That’s the reason, why she will let just anybody fuck her during this game and even enjoy it and become more and more depraved. So far for the setting of this game. There is some tension curve, though.

Dialogues aren’t totally stupid, like in many other porn games, since the dev tries to make them look somewhat reasonable, but still it isn’t realistic at all. Her bf is a cuck, who enjoys her sexual exploits, raises some concerns here and there, but not very much convincing. The only truly attractive guy btw is Bruce, the nemesis of the female mc, she seems to hate and rather let just have anybody else have their way with her, no matter how disgusting they might be. All in all the story is rather bad in my opinion, because it really lacks realism and logic.

But one of the worst decisions is the engine in this game, which is rpgm, instead of renpy. Therefore the gameplay is super redundant and time consuming. Imagine getting up, taking a shower, dressing up, drinking your morning coffee and hitting the subway and doing your chores at work around 100 times during the course of this game in order to trigger story advancements and new scenes…. Therefore gameplay really sucks big time and would be so much more comfortable with a different game engine like renpy.

The only real positive aspect are the graphics, the female mc is a real “dream girl”, at least concerning her looks, not her personality; animations are also well done and the sex is kinky and hot usually, if humiliation is your thing. If not, you’ll just ask yourself constantly, why this super-hot mc girl would just get fucked in all holes by just anybody and still be craving for even more humiliation.

Usually I’d give 2 stars for this, especially because of the redundant & time consuming gameplay and the rather bad story, but the model of Stacy is really super-hot and animations are also really well done. All in all 3 stars.

The Office Wife (0.75 version) has some good and bad things. First off, the story actually has a reason for her turning the way she is and changing so drastically and is decently interesting, specially in some of the plot lines and characters. On the other hand, it has a lot of walking around, seeing the same scenes again and often not knowing well how to advance the story, which means a lot of time wasted and interest lost. It's also a slow burn at first, which united with that routine and lost feeling, makes a hard start of the game (I actually thought of leaving it). Writing is pretty decent for this kind of games, but there are almost no choices to make.

Graphically, renders are quite nice but animations are a bit sloppy, specially the first ones. Sound is meh, I actually played without it most of the game.

So, all in all, it does have a lot of hours of content, some interesting things, but also will probably make you lose a lot of time in repeating and lost wanderings.

I've been playing this game for a long time and it occurred just now that i didnt even write a review for it, shame on me

Unless you're one of those diehard defenders of male protagonist tag, you'll find this game one of the hottest and most shameless on the site. Lots of fetishes and fap material along with not being scared from few rapes here and there, ofc our protag always somewhat give consent in the end so its all good right?
