Like yeah, it's not just "I am infertile, but we really wanna have kids". It's for the WHOLE HUMANITY!
I think I could go there, though having the wife carry another guy's child has zero appeal to me. If the MC is infertile, I'd prefer it if the "bull" were simply a donor and left the scene, then couple then raised the child as their own, than being permanently bound to another guy. Reverse-harems, no, thanks
Totally agree. Once the paths split it has taken a nice turn. Really like how the sharing path is going.
I just played this for the first time
So, I started it. Not a great scene to open the game. lol MC sitting in the cuck chair.
this is a simple but most elucidating typology, as it happens my personal inclination is virtually exclusively towards the stag/vixen sector, although not necessarily towards the most "alpha" characters, especially to swinging and swapping. speaking of which, i thank you for your recommendation of exciting games, which i enjoyed greatly.I think (just my personal take) the difference or why you guys aren't finding a middle ground is that western versions encompass BOTH stag & vixen AND cuckold setups of a range, whereas nts is kinda in the middle. If I had to graph them where the axis is some kind of 'dominance' or 'autonomy', it'd look like this:

IMO, you're both right, but talking about different areas. SinisterPortal is talking about the extreme lefthand region of the cuckold spectrum, which I'd agree with, you don't see things like "bbc fucks wife while cuckold sits in a chastity cage then licks her soiled pussy" in japanese stories.
When CursedByAll is talking about the western positive outlook on sharing, he's talking about the right hand of this chart. (or even the left side, but with the understanding it's used solely as a bedroom fetish, not some backdrop for one's entire life like he's a loser in the bedroom).
Obviously I'm biased for western games having made this thread and all
If there's a concept I'd accuse of being totally foreign to japanese stories, it's levity and a general "joie de vivre". Everything's so heavy-handed and neurotic.
In the bar scene—Claire and Sam’s first encounter—no choices appeared, likely because it was nothing but dialogueSo, I started it. Not a great scene to open the game. lol MC sitting in the cuck chair.
Yes, the conversation between the two of them has been open and good so far. It's not tagged as kinetic but I have not had any choices so far, not a good sign. I'm only up to the bar scene. That would have been a great opportunity to give a choice.
Graphics are so-so. Dev needs to remember to use a period. lol Someone already posted modded scripts for the game.
You missed the angst. Although, granted, with the rest of your points, even that wouldn't make my assessment even more negative, to any noticeable amount.
My guess is that it's a clumsy "honesty window" of the author's into what the game will be about. I don't see "angst" and "beautiful and intimate relationship" as being compatible in the long run. The game barely launched and the author just set up the scenery for the upcoming disaster. The more perfect they are, the harder it will feel when it all crumbles. "Angst" means fear, uneasiness, emotional turmoil - the opposite of trust and self-confidence you find in the likes of Exciting Games. Negativity is bad for your mental health
You guys are all talking about some imaginary tommyknocker - play itI think I could go there, though having the wife carry another guy's child has zero appeal to me.

- literally all this discussion is more on the meta topic than the actual current up-to-date tone in game, it's like when people hear some hype about a movie before seeing it then discussion of that hype eclipses the original story. Yes, the first 5 minutes and initial premise is super cuckish, ignore that shit and get to the good part (where she changes her hair)
Played it; big improvements, feels like a new dev. Thanks for the heads-up—I’ve unignored it and am now followingYou guys are all talking about some imaginary tommyknocker - play it
Only thing that bothers me is when the wife goes out on 'dates' with other guys.
I really despise that aspect of hotwifing. I want them to get together to fuck, not go out on 'romantic' dates. I haven't played the 'date' yet, I hope she tells him she's married.
I think you should give it a play because it offers a lot of agency; choices like what to wear, whether to kiss, physical contact, or teasing the MC are all up to the player. Because of this, your prediction might not pan out, but we’ll have to wait and seeMy guess is that it's a clumsy "honesty window" of the author's into what the game will be about.
