[1.4.10]
If I had to summarize this game, I'd say it's "boring" and "pointless".
The gameplay itself is essentially a barebones Thief game. The main loop is
The problem is, this loop is really, really boring. The map doesn't change. You can find keys to unlock rooms, but universally they'll just be another square that wife/husband rarely go into that you can put 2-3 cameras in, for even more low-quality creepshot clutter to sift through. So, once you've played the 'breaking and entering' part two or three times, you have pretty much experienced everything there is about the game. And you are expected to do this dozens, if not hundreds, of times.
As for 'pointless', what is the erotic appeal of a game like this? First, creepshots. In this, the game gives a lot of content, if low-quality stuff. There's dozens of cameras to set up throughout the apartment, each one having multiple video clips of ~30 seconds. None of them are very good, but the concept is solid. Second, in slowly changing Wife and her environment, observing her in moments she believes herself to be private, and acting on them. To that, you get a sleeping pill pretty early on that knocks Wife out cold for fun times (That you can't use this to search the apartment easier or longer seems like a missed opportunity, but whatever).
After you use the pill and end your pilfering run, you'll get a fairly standard setup that sees Wife unconscious and various actions you can perform on her, as long as she remains asleep. Problem: you can do literally anything from the start, she always remains asleep, and there's no progression or corruption to be had. Cum in her ass on the very first encounter? Go ahead, it will never be acknowledged.
This is the biggest problem with the game in my opinion--the grind is for nothing. You need to rob her apartment over and over and over and over and over, but it's useless. There's no progression, no corruption, just more beats of a horribly written, horribly translated story that makes no sense. And if the basic soap opera of "my husband is cheating on me but I can't confront him about it woe is me" is actually not what you're here for, somehow, then there's nothing to for you to do but rob this dense-as-a-brick woman hundreds of times in discount Thief.
A single star given because the idea is interesting, the concept has some promise. But ultimately, they tried to create something on an idea, and I think they failed.

The gameplay itself is essentially a barebones Thief game. The main loop is
- Break into Wife's apartment (click a button)
- Steal as much shit as you can carry
- Eventually, avoid detection by wife/husband
- Get out, sell the shit
- Upgrade perks and buy cameras to install
- Repeat
