    Giving this 5 Stars based on what's currently in the game and to get other people to pay attention to it. I will adjust my score as the game is further developed and if the dev delivers on the foundation they've laid.

    Overall, it's a great intro to a game with a lot of potential. There are a lot of character dynamics and Stats set up. If the dev can make proper use of all of what's setup in the intro, it'll be a fantastic game. Even if it falls off and fails to deliver on that aspect of the game, it's still poised to be above average with the storyline so far.

    There's not a whole lot of spicy content at the moment, but that's fine for what's there right now. The story is coherent and makes sense. It doesn't even approach the topic of wife sharing with porn-logic. There's smart, scheming people put into place to slowly corrupt them in a believable way.

    The animations aren't anything amazing, but they're above average, imo. The models are good.

    One thing that irritated me was the step-by-step description of Sarah changing clothes. Every single little thing was described in it's own new clip. It got repetitive real fast, but you can just click through it quickly if it's annoying or read the whole thing if you're into that kind of thing.

    Very good story , meaningful choices
    The writing is consistently sharp, keeping the conversations interesting and moving things forward nicely.
    The visuals in this game are genuinely stunning; the character designs and the world itself are just beautifully rendered, making it incredibly easy to get lost in. I especially love the main female character – she’s got this fantastic blend of good wife and power, and her overall look is so memorable. Her partner, the main guy, is just as well-crafted
    What really sells it, though, is the connection between these two. You can feel how much they mean to each other, not just in what they say, but in all the little ways they interact. The story itself unfolds at a perfect, steady pace; it’s a slow burn that really builds up the anticipation and lets you get invested without ever dragging.
    You’re given a lot of freedom with your decisions, and it feels like what you choose actually has an impact, which is a huge plus. Even the characters you meet along the way are well-developed; jessica is so hot
    Honestly, for something at this stage, it’s remarkably polished and shows an incredible amount of promise for what’s to come.

    It's totally awesome how many choices we get in this game, seriously, and that's a huge reason why I'm even on Patreon. Please just keep letting players have a lot of options like this. I was so happy when I saw Sarah could stop that Black person from sitting next to her.

    This game is seriously hitting all the right notes right out of the gate. The whole setup, with the main characters working together, is just fantastic and really gets you hooked from the start. And let's talk about the characters, especially the main duo. They're not just one-note; you can really see different sides to 'em, which makes them feel super real.

    The leading lady, wow, she's got this awesome mix of elegant, beautiful, and totally hot, all wrapped up in a unique look. Plus, she's got confidence for days and knows her worth, which is super cool to see. The dude, the MC, he's just as good, totally self-assured and comes off as a genuinely kind guy who knows how to handle himself.

    What really shines though, is how deeply they care about each other. Their connection feels incredibly real, and you see it in every little thing they do, not just what they say. That dance scene? Absolutely knocked it out of the park! Even the side characters, like the FMC's best friend, are just charming and feel unique. And the psychiatrist character? Super intriguing vibe coming off them.

    Visually, this game is a treat. The renders are top-notch, seriously stunning, and the animations are buttery smooth. Every character model looks amazing, especially the main female character, she's just gorgeous. The way it pulls you into its world is spot on; you really get lost in it. And the choices you make actually feel like they matter, which is a huge plus. The story's pacing is spot on, especially with that slow-burn approach. It keeps you guessing without rushing things, and the dialogue? It's sharp and keeps you engaged without ever feeling drawn out. Honestly, for an early build, this is incredibly promising. Can't wait to see where they take it next. Keep up the awesome work!

    Nice AVN about a couple that explores the boundaries of their relationship. the graphics are great and the women are hot. I hope that both the MC & FMC will be able to have sex with others and I see bright future to this game.

    And failed.

    I really like NTS games with couples I control.
    That is the mindset I had going into this game.

    It starts good. Both MCs look great and seem to have personality. No unnecessary conflict, just a sweet couple. So far, exactly what I like.

    First derail of fake choices occur after your female MC gets groped multiple times, without player input.
    Of course the usual best female friend who puts you onto the spot for creeps.
    Every male so far is ugly and either creepy or arrogant.

    After a beautiful sex scene between the couple, the update leads you into an evening barbecue.
    Again fake choices, forced groping.

    Next thing you know: BBC voyeur scene, unavoidable, without choices.

    Another excuse for forcing a player with false promises into a kinetic novel. A shame, the MCs are beautiful and lovely.
    But thats it.

    A very good start of a slow burn game. I hope the creator keeps it this way and does not rush into the corruption too early. Also, the focus should remain upon the relationship of the MC and the FC. Looking forward to the future versions.

    Renders: 5/5
    Story: 5/5
    Dialogs: 4/5

    A very good game, very enjoyable and a big turn on involving sharing or cheating topic.
    Sadly at this instance there's not any lewd NTS or NTR scene i really was looking forward to enjoy it and it would allow me be more accurate at rating.
    In my opinion everything about graphics it's great. Characters, renders, hot scenes, animations, the paring with dialogue, quality and details.
    The storyline us going fine. I don't like the way the boss and the psychologist are easily manipulating them foward NTS. I felt pushed out of the immersion. Too much unreal sounds like a white card used to drive the story easier. This is the only bad point and partially the star missing in my rating.
    It's still soon to be sure but is really promising ñ

    The writing is very dry and just feels like we are just going through the motions already! Absolutely nothing of interest is said by the characters, giving them zero personality and therefore zero investment. The renders are ok but none of them stand out and the wife is not particularly attractive, just very generic looking. Animations also have a low frame rate but serve their purpose I guess. If the writing can be improved upon, maybe there is something there, but that's a big if.

    As others have already noted, the dialogue and internal monologues aren't yet optimally written. The descriptions of obvious and visually presented plot steps also forces you to skip "unseen text" after three minutes at the most. The presentation and pacing is fine, but I feel it lacks originality. We've seen this plot hundreds of times before, and we all know how it ends. I don't expect anything new here, but it's important to stage the individual key scenes in an exciting and well-crafted way to still have some traction. i hope to see this in the future.

    Strengths:
    • MC and FMC's relationship: 100/100, great importance and attention to each other, complete love, proof of love in actions, behavior, reactions, and everything else, no neglect of each other, the dance scene between them 100/100
    • FMC: Original appearance + combination of hot, beautiful, and elegant + Personality: Kind, multi-dimensional, elegant, doesn't walk around naked, high self-confidence and self-esteem, high resistance.
    • MC: High self-confidence, high self-esteem, no insecurities, kind, well-spoken, capable in sex, multi-dimensional
    • FMC's best friend: Original, sweet, and endearing appearance
    • Receptionist girl: Copied appearance and not very attractive
    • Psychiatrist: Original + captivating aura
    • Story: Hot setup and concept (MC and FMC work in the same place), relationship-focused story, we don't know much else about the story yet
    • Atmosphere: Could be better, but it managed to immerse me. However, it needs a bit more work
    • Writing: Not simple and dry, not long and redundant, I enjoyed it, it was engaging
    Suggestions and Weaknesses:
    • Render: I expect this excellent game to have top-notch rendering. The current render isn't bad at all, 6.5/10, but this game deserves a render score of 9/10 or 10/10
    • Animation: Again, not bad at all, but not great either. I couldn't get immersed in it
    • Transition issue: It's better if it doesn't move too sharply between renders; a smoother movement provides a better experience
    • Sandbox and cartoonish design: Sandbox definitely reduces immersion in this game. This game is not suitable for a sandbox, and the cartoonish design of the houses is also not suitable for this 3DCG game
    • Descriptions: Sara sits on a chair, a dialogue tells me she sat on the chair. Another dialogue tells me how her clothes felt when she sat on the chair. These dialogues are redundant, have no appeal, and are unnecessary, as I can see Sara going to the bathroom or sitting on a chair
    • Inability to change MC's name
    • Looping sound: For example, in a render, an SMS sound plays, and in real life, if you wait for a moment, this sound keeps repeating, forcing you to mute the sound entirely for a moment
    These weaknesses are solvable; they are not fundamental or unchangeable. Meaning, they are not like relationships or characters, etc., where we'd say they can't be fixed. So, I still consider this game worthy of 5/5, but I am definitely and 100% looking forward to and hopeful that these issues will be resolved. I will update the review in the next update

    Scotty Doesn't Know

    This is another VN with a couple trying out their sexual fantasies.
    Fetishes like cheating, swinging, voyeurism, exhibitionism etc.
    It seems to be more of a slow burn and it's only version 0.1 so there's just one lewd scene, which is perfectly fine.

    The renders are fairly well done but lack props or any extra detail. All women are good looking. Rooms, offices and hallways look empty half the time, with no other people, furniture or decorations. The environments have been used many times in other games before.

    Narration will say - The MC is drying off from the shower. Putting on a dress then heels and checking herself in the mirror.
    The husband sits down on the couch and watches TV, He hears his phone buzzing and looks at it.
    There are pictures showing all these actions so we obviously don't need to read it as narration too!

    The dialogue is very poor. English would not be this Dev's first language. Its very simple and meaningless most of the time. You could skip 9 out of 10 lines and be fine. Dialogue between characters is robotic, as if it's made by AI.
    "Are you the new IT administrator starting next Monday?"
    "Yes I am the new IT administrator starting next Monday"
    "I am thirsty for a glass of water"
    "I am also thirsty for a glass of water"
    It's honestly like reading a children's book. I can't believe that someone can release a game with this type of writing. There should be a law against it! The description states story many times. There is no story! It's just about a couple living their life. Nothing with any purpose but to have the couple get involved with random sexual situations.

    There is a sandbox but you can't choose a different location to where the game needs you to go, so it's pointless to have it in there.
    There's only one hope for this game - hire a writer!

    Great game. Very good story ( hope it will continue like this logical slow burn approach). The wife is so beautiful. The renders and animations are excellent. Best wishes. Looking forward for the next updates.

    Great for first version, fmc looking good and renders and the progression of the story is looking good, liked the corruption of FMC would have loved if you show what situation can come for her but will wait for next update.

    Really liked the renders and the progression of the story. Love the character models ; specifically the FMC looks stunning. Meaningful choices and love the character stats menu that allows you to track how your choices affect the characters. Looking forward for future updates.
