The game follows the story of Amy, our protagonist, and her husband, Manuel. They are a young newlywed couple who, by a twist of fate, inherit Manuel's grandfather's house and bar following his passing. As they begin this new chapter in their lives, Amy meets Manuel’s adoptive brother, Daniel, in person for the first time. He moves in with them and starts working at the bar, and from that moment on, Amy’s life begins to change in many ways.

Version 0.1.0 remake A pleasant and interesting visual novel, with well-made and original renderings (Amy is fantastic). I played the previous version, but I prefer the remake; it's more erotic and less rushed. Kudos to the developer and good luck!
I liked the game, I liked the slow development of events, I liked the characters, they were well-made, and the plot may have some holes, but overall, the plot is well-written, and I wish the author good luck with the game.
I really liked Amy's story; it's very well done, with everything just right. The interactions between the characters feel very fluid and natural, which makes me want to keep following this story to see where it goes. The new pace in Rethought has set a fresh, enjoyable vibe for watching. Sigue así, Escovic
Interesting game title. Feels very ironic. I liked the female lead and the story so far. The flow of the plot so far holds well. Looking forward to where you go from here. It looks like a big project, so all the best.
I don't understand cramming the sandbox into this game. It is annoying enough anyway when the game is linear, and clicking just to advance time is like... why? The first time I got to Sunday with the next event on Friday, I just deleted the game. I just envisioned myself clicking around, advancing time, going from room to room, and sleeping. That's not fun. The setup is generic and the buildup is not really plausible, but that's okay, because not everything has to be innovative for quick fun. But as soon as the gameplay is annoying, it isn't worth clicking around the locations and checking journal entries. On top of that, the repeatable scenes come with a note that says "these scenes won't show up in the journal, so you'll have to remember when and where the events occur!" Um, no I won't. I think the dev should ditch the sandbox and make it a VN. At least then, people could speed through it to get to the appealing parts.
Positive: - The female mc is gorgeous Negative: - The game's progression is basically kinetic since choices come down to "play exactly as intended or don't bother" - The story is blatantly implausible, even for a porn game. - Interracial focus Verdict: If you're playing female protag games to corrupt her while choosing how, this is not it. If you hope for a roster of characters... nope. If you're into ugly old bastard content... nope. If you're a cuck that gets an extra humiliation kick out of interracial content, enjoy a "game" that could be a kinetic novel
hmmm.. I guess it is a mediocre game. The frustrating part is this sandbox that doesn't really add any value to the player.. The story is ok, the art is ok, but I guess there is an audience for these kind of game. Sex scenes are the usual hastily made , few images, there is no story that describe the sexual interaction.. just action itself, typical of a developer that is unable to describe the complexity of sex and eroticism. Try it, but for the more experienced players.. this game is to be skipped.
It's not a bad NTR game at all. It is not a slow burn but it has a good story and content so far. Game Play - 5 Content - 5 Story - 4 Sound - 0 Sandbox/Hidden Events - 0 (nothing much there) Somehow I feel this game has a touch of exploring the big apple.
On the plus side, the FMC looks good. On the negative side... too much, and it overwhelms any positives. There isn't much of a story once you get past the initial introduction because it moves into a full sandbox, but it's one of the poor sandboxes where there isn't much of an indication of what to do and when. To clarify that, the story aspects do show up in the diary - but it will be something happening on a Saturday and it gives you the next step and it's something you have to wait until Friday for (despite it being something that can happen at literally any time), and you have nothing else in the sandbox bank, so you literally have to click through the week to get to that Friday event. Then there's a notification that repeatable events have opened up, but it tells you they won't appear anywhere, so you have to keep an eye on what locations have been unlocked, and then just take pot luck on when and where an event might be, until you find something. That's poor from an end-user perspective. The story element that we did have is also about as basic as it gets, and moves along too quickly (in terms of the cheating, on both sides), with little to no build-up. So overall, this had good visual promise, but ended up being a poor offering IMO.
This game deserves a higher average rating for the following reasons: 1. It's not AI slop. 2. The characters are well designed and attractive. 3. The premise is hot. 4. The pacing is excellent - it's not slow burn but not straight to sex either. Yes, it has porn logic but it's a porn game. Definitely worth a playthrough.
Ok what can i say, it's a game... It baffles me that someone can go trough the effort of making a game and then doesn't put any thought into the story/characters/flow. I don't mind a bit of porn logic here and there, but this game is all porn logic. The story and the flow of it is so bad that i would say, the game would be better if it was just a gallery with the sex scenes. +1 star because i do see that some effort was made to make this, i just wish that the same amount of effort was put into the story.
The renders are good, the characters are well designed (Amy is cute and beautiful). The story is simple, but it does the job. I haven't detected any bugs or errors that break the game so far. The animations are fine, they don't stand out or anything like that, but they are well done. It's true that in v0.3, the relationship between Daniel and Amy progressed quite quickly, but I don't think it's cause for alarm (as some have suggested), since the story is just beginning and it's quite possible that the developer has a reason and a plan for this in future versions. For now, my rating is 5 stars. Plus, I love NTR.
This review has spoilers. This game deserves more than just 2.5/5 overall rating. (as someone who tries new games only if theres 3.5 or more overall, im glad i tried this game when it came out) I really loved the game when it came out, its on my top tier list after A Perfect marriage, My Husbands Boss, My Italian Slut Wife. The art is too good, the cloth choices for the FMC wow, the story also very hot, the background being the wife cheating with a brother like figure of the husband living in the same home. Yes the last update (0.3.1) seemed a bit rushed but i liked it (the surprise factor was hot). And the scenes where he gropes the wife infront of the husband, noice. I hope there's more tension between the characters and more hot scenes, wouldn't want the wife to be a slut; maybe do stuff and still feel guilty about it or something (all depends on the writing). I think everything i mentioned above is already in the game lol. (like the tension was building from the moment she saw him naked when they first met) Only thing didn't like about the game was the click to navigate mechanism, would love it if it was a kinetic novel or something, like APM and MHB.
Things happen a little too fast, and lack of choice make if feel lesser impact, and like a kinetic novel to me already, more little choice can change the game alot, I know there maybe a boring path with choice, but adding that will make it more like a game that feel you make the choice of what is happening.
This one falls under the weather for me (v 0.3.1). I played it in spanish and the writing is rather bad, but what's worse is that the story is atrocious. 1st scene MC is a sex machine, next scene he is terrible in bed. She goes from faithful to cheating for no real reason and with no buildup, and he does so even faster! Characters are plain and boring, predictable archetypes with no interest. And I'm not sure how much the choices will matter when the game says from the beginning that there will be NTR (I have no problem with that, but it does reduce the scale of impact for the choices). Renders are decent, but nothing special. Animations and sex scenes are more on the poor side, with very basic animations and a bit wonky at times. There is music but I always turn it off so can't comment on it; there are a few sound effects here and there but nothing too present. At least I found no bugs. So, all in all, this one falls short for me. I might give it a second try in some time to see how it has evolved, but it's not looking like it's going in the right direction and it'll be hard to steer the ship now.
I feel like I'm required to post this after the review right before this. The "moan effects" that he is referring to are absolutely abysmal. It's like a 1/2 second clip that sounds like someone stubbed a toe. Characters are sexy as fuck though. The sex scenes are mediocre at best. I will keep playing becuse I want to watch FMC lose control, but it's very short right now.
A decent start of a game, potential for sure, but not much to write home about as of 0.2. The story is pretty basic I think, nothing too intriguing. Pacing for a corruption game is actually pretty fast despite there not being much content just yet. Overall it's just an average game despite the good character designs for the fmc. The only weird thing is the eyes are kinda a bit offputting, I think they're just like a bit too far apart and makes it look weird, otherwise there's nothing too impressive nor lacking about this game so far.
VERSION: v0.1.0 SUMMARY: Ok, but really been done many times before with nothing new. RATINGS: (out of 5): ⭐⭐ ⭐ NOTE: The following categories and scoring method are my own criteria and may require more context. Additionally , scoring is based on the state, and what is in the current version and not what may or may not be introduced at a later point. Character (Model) Visuals......... : ⭐⭐⭐⭐ General Visuals................... : ⭐⭐⭐ Animation Quality................. : ⭐ ⭐ Character Personality(Persona).... : ⭐⭐ Story & Dialogue .................. : ⭐⭐⭐ Writing & Grammar................. : ⭐⭐ UX/UI, Game Type & Mechanics.......: ⭐⭐ Playtime & Pacing ..................: ⭐⭐⭐ Music & Sounds .....................: ⭐⭐⭐ Adult Content & Fetishes.......... : ⭐⭐⭐ Average: 27 of 50 possible points giving a 54% rating i.e. 3 stars. PROS: - See my opinions section for details. Models look nice and FMC is sexy. Generally renders are not too bad. Story is simple and functional, but not exceptional. Writing is structured and reads well. Sounds are not too bad. CONS: - See my opinions section for details. Renders are dull and grainy, while this isn't exactly a deal breaker, it does make the whole thing feel like you seeing it from a VHS tape...I think we can stick to clear and high fidelity please... Story is bullshit, unrealistic, and yes its a game, but its a novel too, the best ones are told with close ties to realism, especially when its setting is in a more "real world" dynamic. See comments. Per above, too many plot holes and stupid story telling. Bugs, missing names for custom names, same default for characters, some "spill over" of Spanish where it should be English. Sexual scenes are boring and uninteresting like wedding night. No sounds during H-scenes adds to the dullness and disappointment. UX/UI needs some attention like the opacity setting for dialogue box that is missing. Mini-games are not exactly something I care for, not a horrible thing, but still not something I want in an AVN. Too short and little interesting content, hard to review. OPINIONS, SUGGESTIONS & FINAL REMARKS : NOTE: The following remarks are my personal opinions and thoughts, which may provide more context and could be useful to the developer. (Read them or don't) Regarding story, the MC not telling his wife or Daniel, that they are moving to the grandfathers house is completely stupid and makes no sense. The couple uproot their whole life to go take over the grandpas business and live in his house which the clearly inherited. At no point did it occur to the MMC that his wife and Daniel should know about each other, be informed? They just show up out of the blue? Wow...such a lazy and stupid way to start the game... Per above, the story and its forced situation, again more kinetic, really just annoys me. There are stupid things that make NTR an agenda and not natural, the FMC doing house work half naked, knowing full well she and her husband don't live alone...its too deliberate. TLDR: Not horrible, the FMC looks pretty sexy, but the story and way its told has too many plot holes, is too obvious in its corruption and NTR approach. The setting is illogical, but also the intro is very short, giving no clear indication what we can expect. Its too short to review but for now its ok, nothing more.
one of the worst products lately, graphically it is full of bugs and wrong rendering, awful audio, characters without personality, the story, one of the most ridiculous, as a premise even worse, the dev imposes zero choices on us, there is only one way.
I find it to be a very intriguing beginning, a solid introduction that captures attention. My hope is that the story unfolds gradually, without rushing, allowing the details to shine. I’ll be following it closely
