VN - Ren'Py - True Husband [v1.3] [Snowstorm]

Another soulless, talentless, overshallow piece of garbage created only to farm easy cash from the most undemanding crowd without any tastes and quality standards. The writing and plot are so idiotic and lame that I can assure you that even I myself, if writing a story on the go with a speed of thinking here and now, will definitely do a way better job than this dev. I'm sure that he wrote this mess in the same way, without any second thoughts and rereading what he wrote just to be done with updates with light speed and without putting in any kind of effort so he can mind his own business for the rest of 90-95% of the time between updates. Characters behave, talk, and react to things in absolutely imbecilic and unnatural ways.

80% of sex scenes are with the MC's wife, and after the second one, they become absolutely boring and unnecessary and serve the only goal - to prolong this lame, dumb, and uninspired game for way longer to farm more easy cash without the need to give expected content, be creative, work hard, etc. I don't know how low the standards of one should be to give this trash more than 2 stars...

[v1.3]


Story/characters:
⠀⠀⠀There is no overarching central plot really, just MC juggling his relationships while trying not to ruin his marriage. There is the step-daughter that he finds irresistible, wife's horny sister moves in as well, two shameless neighbor twins and their hot mom, flirty boss, cute secretary, step-daughter found a friend who's now thirsty for her new daddy and many more. There is no deep character development or anything, everyone are horny wenches lusting for MC, as if he's some sort of Apollo incarnate. Protagonist himself is alright. Not annoying or repulsive, but not particularly interesting either.

Choices:
⠀⠀⠀The very first choice can lead to a gameover on the spot, and it's far from being the only one. Bruh, why put sex scenes behind gameovers? It seems like such a baffling idea to me that only irritates the player. And to make matters worse the game doesn't provide relevant choice where it's actually needed. Like you can throat fuck your wife's sister in the bathroom and get a gameover, but you can't do anything with her when she's masturbating at night. Or when twins or your boss make advances on you, protagonist will reject them, and you don't get a say in the matter. Like he can sometimes be an unhinged pervert with his clueless step-daughter, but when it actually matters he's playing the 'loyal husband' card. Besides not having much of a player agency, the existing choices don't actually branch out the story at all. Most of them are "do you want to see the sex scene or not?" kinda choices. You can close down a Alice's path, but that just means that you won't get these "sex scene" prompts with her going further. So overall implementation of the choices, left me disappointed. In my experience this was essentially a kinetic novel, but more annoying.

Erotic content:
⠀⠀⠀My overall impression of the game's sex scenes is that they are OK, maybe even slightly above average. There is a decent amount of teasing and foreplay, the sex doesn't happen suddenly out of nowhere, build-up is present. The animations are simple 1-2 second loops sometimes jerky, general impression is 'default HS2', nothing new/original as far as I could tell. There is a lot of dialogue and intermediary renders so sex is not just an animation viewer. The pacing is pretty nice, sex happens very often, so you will not be starving for that content. And yes, there are a bunch of erotic scenes but most feel kinda samey, especially the wife ones and 90% of the scenes in the first half the game are with the wife character, tho way less later on. The biggest issue here is sound design IMO: I don't like the music, it's super generic, repetitive and fails to set the appropriate mood, AND there are ZERO sound effects.

I do in fact recommend this title, especially is you find a theme of cheating and hidden sex to be hot, it's pretty solid quality all around. Just don't go in expecting a literary or erotic masterpiece.

playtime: more than 5 hours.

Review [v1.3]

This is a game with pretty nice animations, but the story and the updates just drag their feet, repeating the same teasing scenes with the same characters most of the time. Choices in the game mean nothing, only the difference between them is if you see a scene, don't see the scene, or game over.

White knights posted that I should stop playing the game, so I'm taking their advice. Here's my review and me duckin' out.

[Review about True Husband v1.2]

Look, I love some oyakodon. Both kinds. I truly do.

But hear me out. There's some serious problems with the start of this game.

I downloaded this game a few months ago together with a bunch of other games, so I had totally forgotten about it. I found it recently in my Downloads folder and didn't even remember what it was about. So I decided to try it.

Here's the first half an hour into the game. I don't think this counts as a spoiler since it happens right away and half of it it's in the game's description.

He marries this hot woman. Two weeks after moving into a new house, a random girl appears in front of his door claiming that she's the daughter of his wife.

First problem. His wife never told him she had a daughter.

And she acted like she didn't even know how to contact her daughter all these years because the father didn't let her (let's not dive into how this is legally bs in most countries of the world). But her daughter not only knows where she lived (the wife just recently changed residences, after all) but also that she was married (again, a very recent thing). So the only conclusion to have here is that the wife is still keeping contact with her ex-husband. Quite frequently even, and with lots of details, if he knew such recent information about her. That's quite suspicious.

Second problem, the first thought that the MC had was "My wife has some serious explaining to do": perfectly reasonable and very smart of him. Then immediately after he goes "Oh, stepdaughter, let me take your luggage to YOUR room", that's not even 5 minutes after she enters the house. And then he let them catch up and go to his office to work. Then they eat, he goes back to his room and his wife is evidently working harder than ever to please him in bed which he notices it's probably because she felt guilty for lying to him but he just let it be and decides to wait until tomorrow to have his answers.
Next day. He wakes up, his wife makes them breakfast and have to leave in a hurry for work in another city, without even touching her own food. Leaving the MC and the stepdaughter alone at home. Later, she contacted her daughter (not him, for some reason) and said she can't come back because it's "raining heavily".
First, one more day without any explanation about why she lied about having a daughter. And second, this is a modern day world setting, mind you.
How freaking heavy is this rain that people can't even go back to their home? And I'm sure we've all seen some pretty crazy downpours. Even if the other city is a place with bad engineering that any heavy rain causes a flood, you're telling me not only she left the house without seeing the weather news, but also didn't know about the rain until it started? She supposedly travels a lot due to work and she made such an amateur mistake? That's not suspect at all.

At this point I had to open the game's page and recheck the tags. I could swear this was a netorare game. A doormat MC who can't keep his own boundaries in place and a lying wife keeping secrets.

But I guess this was all the author's excuse to give MC and the stepdaughter a dinner date. Badly executed, if you ask me.

Now comes the third problem. The MC is a 42 (43?) years old guy barely out of honeymoon period with a stupidly hot woman. He himself said they were going at it like rabbits until just a while ago. Then he takes a look at the stepdaughter's exposed skin and he acts like a teenager at the height of puberty who just saw his first pair of tits. You even have an option to openly jerk off right behind her while she's playing a game. Granted that option leads to a game over. Nevertheless.
This is a problem with so many erotic games nowadays. It's already tiring enough when it's a college guy acting like a dog in heat, but when you have a grown ass man old enough to already be a grandfather acting the same way without any logical reason, there's some problem with the story's setting.

With all of this, when the MC finally puts his foot down on the third day and reject a "fun time" with his wife to have the serious talk, it feels kinda silly, even though it's kind of a sad (even if it's till bs) story.

And come on? I agree the stepdaughter is hot and nubile and taste is completely subjective. But the wife was not even designed in a way the player would think: "Yeah, the daughter is totally the younger and better version" like how it usually goes with this kind of story. The way the MC thinks to himself "I hope [Wife]'s body can keep my mind off [Stepdaughter]" is just ridiculous.

A few suggestions:
- Remove all the "Me horny" lines from the MC. This makes no sense at all. It's not like he was a virgin until he met [Wife], right? Let the stepdaughter explore her feelings herself (which she starts doing very quickly anyway) without the MC showing any interest in her besides that of a guardian. And when she come to him, the MC can choose to accept or not (if this is not a linear story).
- Move the third day's conversation with the wife back to the first day. You can't leave a serious talk for tomorrow (or after, in this case) just because "I just emptied my balls and want to sleep".
- Do some rewording work. Just some small rewording here and there is enough and it'd do a whole world of difference on this horrendous start.

Up to this point, I can't say this is at the "Average" level yet so I'm giving it a 2-star rating. I'll try to play a bit more and see how their relationship develops. The idea of the story is totally up my alley, but if it keeps this pace, I probably won't be able to play it until the end.

Classic story elements, good execution, good looking characters, lots of scenes. Pacing is not too fast, new characters come into the story as it progresses.

Worth the play, hope to see more content.

If you're looking for a quick fun story then this is it. Of course you need to be into the plot but it has a good build up and there a lot of sex scenes. It does the fetishes really well. I even open it to watch some of the scenes again.

So much better than what I suspected. Thought I'd give it a try with a suspicion it was one of those NTR games that was pretending not to be. Nope. Not at all. Wife is actually pretty cool, and her daughter is wonderful. Sister is fun. Neighbors are amazing. Tons of content out of nowhere. Amazing game that keeps getting better.

True Husband [v1.1] [Snowstorm]

It's pretty good, stable 3-4. Writing, story, characters everything is serviceable, I wasn't put off and was following the story. So, that's that. Sex scenes/animations are okay and sometimes good. There are somethings that I don't like or they are just meh/bad, but I can look past them, as this project overall is quite good and stands out among others with its strong points.
All in all, I'm looking forward to the future updates.

Story - ~6.3/10
Writing - 6.5/10
Choices - 7/10
Characters - 6/10
MC - 5.4/10
Models - 7/10

Great game, I definitely recommend it, it's one of the best games on this site.

There are many LI options and it's a harem, I don't know how the Dev will fit all the girls into the harem, but I'll enjoy seeing it happen.

The main LI is the stepdaughter and not the wife, it will be more romance than corruption, the stepdaughter develops a crush on the MC, she knows she shouldn't, but she can't resist, she's inexperienced, but curious, she likes the experimentation between them, I love seeing her call the MC "daddy" when she cums.

The wife is perfect, I think I like her even more than I like the stepdaughter, the wife is super sexy, affectionate, and is always ready for the MC, there are many scenes with her, all great.

The sister-in-law was very attractive, the most attractive in the game in my opinion, but unfortunately Dev decided to change her hairstyle, I consider it a huge change, and it changed for the worse, there are many previews of her new hairstyle in the comments.
The sister-in-law plays with the MC, if the MC takes the initiative to try something with her, she stops him, but if the MC resists her seduction, she will go after him more and more assertively and taking more and more risks.

I only mentioned the family members, but there are many LI's, all great, the ones I'm most curious to see how the story develops are the MC's secretary, and the twins from his building, especially considering that the family is about to move out of the building.

Solid VN that knows what it is and what its trying to achieve.
- Models are very good, I particularly like the sister-in-law but the stepdaughter is very cute, side characters are great and the wife is good. No complaints.
- The story is a bit meandering and has no "overarching" goal, which isn't ideal, but it does reasonably go through how the MC ends up in their position. It is never unbelievable or silly, just sometimes a little directionless.
- The pacing is good. I personally would say this leans slightly heavier on the hornier faster-paced side of things, but it isn't just a nonstop pornfest, it takes some time to develop the story and characters here and there which is nice.
- Music and sound fits the game well, but variety is sorely needed. There's like 3 songs and they all get used a lot. Whats there is good, but some variety would help a ton.
- Animations are... OK. They are smooth and work well, but they're very simple loops. Overall the camera angles are good and framing of everything is good but is missing... something.
- Set design and props are... meh. I mean, most VNs put very little to no time into improving these aspects so I'm not exactly underwhelmed, but it can sometimes detract from a scene that should look good to have something from the set or prop to jank the whole feel of the image.
- Gameplay is nonexistent. Its a kinetic novel with largely one route outside of ditching some relationships here and there. You can definitely make the wrong choices and end in a "game over" screen, which is cool that you get to see some things go terribly wrong, but you largely go back to a previous save and continue with the intended path... Which to be honest, is completely fine.

Overall, its a perfectly fine VN that does what it sets out to do well. I'll be returning to this VN to see updates.

I just couldent get into the story and i just hated MCs 12 year old mindset, it also dident help that i hated the wife, i will never understand why devs would make a game with some extremly ugly bimbo wife with huge saggy tits in a game where its more about the smol girl, maybe some people are into everything but im just not one of those types.

It talks about choices and how you deside stuff on front page but when it comes to the wife you dont deside anything, cant say no to sex scenes or dump her ass, so game was a huge turn-off stright from the start and the one who has the most sex scenes is the wife, so if your here for the smols just move on to the next game, but if your into the bimbo type you might like this one and you can say no to smols unlike the bimbo.

Also the "its up to you to deside" issue makes little to no sense, if it was up to me to deside this game would have only have been 5 mins long due to game-over "choices"...

Which is the most idiotic part, so many choices leads to game-overs which makes you wonder why even put them in to start with, they serve 0 purpose for the game other then being annoying and stupid.

Story also makes little to no sense at times, like letting the wife and Becky go back to a bastard ex-boyfriend by them selfs just to spend alone time with Alice?.....i mean its not like that ex-boyfriend couldent over power the 2 girls, and thats another issue, just to much porn logic.

Story is also very kinetic since nothing you do really change anything when it comes to main story, all you can change is fuck xxx yes/no and thats about it.

The art it self is ok, nothing special and nothing you havent seen a million times before, same goes for the overall story that has nothing new.

Girls look ok, but again nothing special, same goes for animations they are average.

The models looks really nice, and the step daughter is cute, i would like to be able to edit her age. i liked the story so far, hope it will get more even more lewd with some urination kink and anal and i hope the mother will get into some 3some with sis and daughter

[v1.0] Great game, variation in girls and body sizes. Great corruption speed, lots of activities with the girls. Only minus is that you dont get to have any real intercourse with the step-daughter yet. So the game is not finished, i dont know why the version is 1.0. But dont get me wrong this game has a lot of content already. Great game, would recommend

the christmas scene pretty much sums up the whole game, what can be considered maybe 1 barely passable scene is in the gallery 4 different scene's
also 1 of those scene's is of santa fucking an elf, it in my opinion does not fit in with the rest of the game, a warning is given for lesbian content but not for the fact that you have to watch Fugly ass santa railing an elf

Version 0.9

Note: As the developer practices a frequent small updates cycle, though True Husband is currently labelled as V0.9, the content is 4 hours tops and roughly equivalent to V0.3 of other games.

True Husband offers a good play on the older man going after young girls kink and the story as a whole shows good promise despite being relatively early in development. It is an overall fetish driven game paired with a good enough story that is better than generic porn, just don't get into this expecting some sort of intriguing and emotionally engaging story.

Story
MC is a middle-aged successful professional who is happily married to Sarah when one day his wife's daughter with her ex, Alice, appears out of nowhere and joins his household. The narrative tracks MC's lust and gradual corruption of his stepdaughter as well as his interaction with a host of other younger LIs in daily life.

There's quite a bit of slow burn on the stepdaughter corruption part as well as some teases with other LIs such as his neighbors (Holly and Molly) and sister-in-law (Beckey) as MC debates internally whether to unleash his lust on them.

Game Mechanic
Largely a kinetic novel with choices that allow players to reject LIs they don't like.

Background / Character Renders
Very nicely rendered in HS2 - Sarah and Becky who are MILFs actually look pretty convincing as characters in their late 30s and early 40s which is quite uncommon as many HS designed mature ladies often look way too young to fit their character. Alice fits the profile of an innocent virgin teen well while neighbourly sisters Holly, Molly and even Madison are hot in their own ways.

As most of the story takes place in generic venues like house, office, malls etc, background is mostly made up of common stock images. One minor inconsistency which I hope the developer can address is the interior of MC's house. Currently the rooms look like a cheap rental house and don't gel with MC who is supposedly a successful Senior Executive of a large company with his own private secretary, office and conference room.

Character Development
Most of the character development centres around MC and Alice as the former slowly corrupts the latter through a variety of compromising opportunities. Sarah plays the part of a high sex drive MILF whose main role is to provide sex scenes early in the game while the slow burn with younger LIs is in progress.

Sex Scenes
Very well done with good music, lewd dialogue, animations and seductive camera angles to deliver a kinky experience. Some of the scenes come with heavy role play and sex talk that are quite hot and memorable.

Interestingly, IMO the hottest scene so far is with Madison, a prostitute, who role plays the daughter of MC during their session. Although it looks like she may be a once-off random character, I hope there can be a more prominent role for her in the future.

BGM and Sound Effects
I would say BGMs are currently very upbeat in nature and perhaps the developer can widen his repertoire of tracks to cover different scenarios.

Sound effects are minimal currently.

Conclusion
Most niche games that play to an audience with a specific kink are of dubious quality as the niche alone already guarantees a minimum number of subscribers. True Husband is one of the uncommon examples whereby the developer manages to stich up a good enough slow burn story and combines it with spicy dialogue, music and animations to deliver a quality experience.

It doesn't have a very strong script, plot twists or character development, but does its job well especially if you are into the older man going after young innocent girl angle. I would rate this a solid 4 stars with a few rough edges here and there.

Besides capturing the god-like mother daughter corruption genre well, what really does it for me is the pacing. Lots of VNs struggle with jumping right into the heat or blue balling it for too long.

Models: 5/5
Plot: 5/5
Lewds: 5/5

Well, I'm normally pretty stingy with my ratings, but I've got to admit this one really does it for me....the concept of a mother/daughter corruption VN is pretty appealing as a base concept.

In this case the author pulls it off really well, with great visuals and decent story telling.

Frankly there is nothing I can complain about. Sometimes, the narrative in these type of VNs drones on and on, but in this case, any spacebar/mouse spamming is my own fault for wanting to move faster.

My specific review as follows:

Artwork: 4.5/5
Story telling: 4/5
Pace 4.5/5
Originality: 5/5
Concept 10/5 !!!

To the author/dev ---- thank you and please keep up the good work!

review for v0.8.

peak wife sim, if only marriage was like that irl.
good lookin models, wife hot as fuck, daughter a cutie.
decent animations, good amount of scenes.
writing kinda scuffed, but does it job.
solid nut outta 10.

v0.8

It does the job.

Standard renders and writing, the characters are well defined, and the story proggression is Ok.

We will find again that female chars bodies are Vicky Secret's models like, targetting appealing instead realism... as always.

For now, it's a 2.5 stars for me.

Poorly written (at least in English), tired setting, there is zero build up to anything and the characters are forgettable. I also have a hard time believing this is a v0.7 given there is 15 minutes of gameplay.

This is also one of those games with "game over" choices, in fact most of the player "choices" in the game lead to game over currently if you do not select the non-creep option. The MC is a scumbag who acts more like a 15 year old than a middle aged man

Would pass on this one.
