Unfortunately I gotta break from many of my sharing colleagues in opinion here, I found the dialogue offputting; the constant self-doubt and validation seeking seemed more reminiscent of an NTR game protagonist.
That's not to say that's how the wife will act, the game makes it quite clear it'll stay in the nts realm, but I'd much rather see him acting like less of a wet mop, at least on the 'confidence' choice path.
I appreciate the comments! Early on there is going to be some doubts from the MC and his Wife of course as they tread slowly into exploring the new relationship dynamic!
This changes very quickly though once MC is sure Amelia is into it! (It's a big change from their normal relationship, and he has been thinking about it for a long, long time and didn't know what to expect after a confession!)
After that, the MC can fully embrace it with his wife and enjoy all of the Netorase fun!
Yeah, this was was I excepted after finishing this release. I mean the majority of people IRL who have never tried swinging/hotwifing or anything similar before, will of course be nervous to admit to their significant other who they've been in a happy monogamous relationship with for years, that they have a particular fetish of this kind. They of course are going to be scared of how their partner reacts, and will have that doubt and fear, that it could possibly ruin their happy relationship. I felt the writing was very much realistic in this sense.
As the dev here mentioned, once they both fully embrace it, and are sure that the other is happy with their new lifestyle, they will both open up more, and the MC in particular will grow more confident. If they were in a new relationship, or one of them were polyamorous or had a history of being in open relationships, then sure it could have made sense that he wouldn't have doubted himself, and not have been so nervous to confess it to her.
I loved this first release personally, and I'm looking forward to see where you take the story dev. I'm eager to see how spicy things get, but also to see how much their relationship in general develops, and see how much more confident and open they both grow. Oh, and I must say it again, the wife is SO damn hot in this game, one of the hottest 2D characters in any 2D games I've played.
