Love & Jealousy

F*ck .... i didn't expect to feel like I can't breathe and cry playing an adult game. Maybe it's because i went through something similar in my real life, when i was younger, with one of my girlfriend. (not so hard, but very similar in some situations) Believe me, you can't understand what you really can endure when your heart beats hard for one person you feel special. Your mind get easily fogged and you can find out you can't think stright. This game is capabable to keep you engaged, feeling like it's happening to you, in the bad, but also in the good way. I really didn't expect anything special at the beginning, and i know there's room for improvements (better sound, maybe some animations and in images rendering) but i have to say i really like the story and how it evolves. Now I can't wait the next update. (sorry for my bad English)

The positive here is the eye candy. Many gorgeous girls. The primary negative is visual sameness. The word count per render is extremely excessive, and even when images do change there is little variation. For example, the same facial expressions repeat ad nauseum. Another negative is, though there are many beautiful LIs, sex scenes with those other than the wife are both rare and brief. Nothing wrong with long stories with tons of dialogue, but if the images aren't keeping pace with the words, you're writing a traditional novel more so than a visual novel.

I moved away from this game for a while, letting the emotional turmoil fade away before writing a review (Act 3) Now, in a better state of mind and emotions I looked back on it and came to a conclusion why I love and hate this AVN at the same time The dev is close to a genius when it comes to tiggering emotions in the reader, he is very good in writing setpieces and the dialogue that comes with it. Let´s say these setpieces are like a puzzle Feeling these emotions and being impressed with the dialogue made me think he must be good in writing charaters and a story as well, but sadly he isn´t The puzzlepieces don´t fit way to often and instead of fixing the problems he uses ducktape to put them together trying to hide the inconsistencies with the next emotional hit and it works pretty good until you take your time to think about each puzzlepiece... How can a writer be so amazing and so terrible at the same time ? I don´t know, but that is how I see it I am looking forward for the next setpieces and the emotions that will come along with it. My expactations for the story on the other hand are close to none. In my opinion he wrote himself into a corner and I cannot see how he will be able to fix all the plotholes and inconsistencies without being called out for BS, but if the somehow does, I will give him all the respect he deserves Right now I cannot give more than 2/5 stars, it would be 3 if the "artstyle" wasn´t the laziest AI slop I have ever seen in a AVN My advice for the next game, less ducktape but more fitting puzzlepieces plus more effort for the grafics

I was initially drawn to this game because the writing isn’t terrible. There’s too many ntr games where it’s just a porn slide show with little or no story.. or it sounds like Chinese fed through Google Translate 15 times. I can’t get into a game if the writing sucks.. The writing is decent.. but the AI imagery is kinda meh. Cardboard cut outs scooting across the screen is a little weird.. and the AI doesn’t always nail the same facial features so you end up with people looking slightly different between scenes.. or sometimes like children??? The story is.. interesting, to say the least. It’s unique.. until sex is gets involved.. then it leans hard into standard ntr progression tropes (oh no she’s masturbating, oh no hand job, blowjob, sex, anal, spitroast, gangbang… oh no a BBC!! That’s way worse than a gangbang! /s) The MC is entirely too incel-coded for how good he looks. It’s hard to believe a man that fit and attractive would be so insanely insecure. I looked past that.. cause I get it, they’re both fucked in the head…. but then at some point anal gaping took center stage. I bowed out when MC revealed his deep desire to cram a wine bottle into his wife’s ass. I really thought it was going to break.. that’s when I realized, despite the decent writing, this game is just not for me. edit: sigh.. but despite all its flaws, the story was intriguing enough that I couldn’t put it down. The anal gaping doesn’t actually happen that much (thank god..) and it actually has a purpose in the story.. so I guess I got past it. I fuckin hate both of the MCs though and I’m going to read the next part when it comes out just to make sure they both get what they deserve.

This one is an awsome Story! Buckle up for a wild ride! This story is captivating, disturbing and very hurtfull. I can't say what the destination of that ride will be the Dev takes us on, but it is and further will be a wild ride. If you came here for H-Scenes, this Story isn't for you. If you are here for a very good Story, nice Graphics and a lot of WTF Situations then you are at the right place!

This one is phenomenal. A true novel. It is both hot as hell but also actually speaks truth. Having spent a year in a relationship with an emotionally damaged woman, everything here is real. The almost split personalities. The wild mood swings. The lurking feeling of dread that anything could drop at any moment and blow up a peaceful night. Especially the use of sex, drugs, and self-harm alternately as a means of both apology and a threat. The details are just so spot on. Right down to those late night returns from the club and the exploitative friends. The total obliviousness of predatory social behavior. I could just keep listing things! The author has to have lived this. I hit the eject button when things obviously started spiraling but here I am, years later, completely blindsided to relive those feelings of anxiety in a novel from this site of all places. Keep the updates coming!

Without a doubt one the best written games on this site. Play it. (written as of Act 3) Before I get into my review let me say a few things. First, if you hate walls of text you will hate this review and hate this game. This game has more text in one chapter than some games have in twenty. Second, the 1 star reviews and the 5 reviews are equally correct. If you come expecting a sexy game you are going to be very, very disappointed. The sex scenes are nightmare fuel ; you will want to play this game with your pants on. The sex scenes are not intended to arouse the player but instead convey important details about the story. Third, my view of the game differs dramatically from that of the game's superfans. Indeed my opinion makes them very, very angry. I think they love a game they don't understand. So if you read my review remember that you are reading the minority report. But, having said that, excessive modesty is not my fatal flaw and I'm pretty sure I'm right. Fourth, contains spoilers. All of them . Every. Single. Spoiler. ----------------- This game is to NTR games what The Watchmen is to superhero stories. It's an attempt to tear the core NTR story apart so you can see its moving parts. Indeed one of the characters in the game tells the MC that he needs to be torn apart so his parts can been seen clearly and assembled in the correct order. This is no accident - the author is skilled enough to be addressing the reader through the voice of one of the characters. The dev uses literary tools - like unreliable narrators - that are beyond the abilities of most authors on this site. He makes allusions to classical literature. He plays around with metaphors giving them new meanings in new contexts. He's pretty good! In many ways the MC is the polar opposite of most NTR MC's - he is not stupid, he is not naive, he is not physically weak, he has a big dick and he's good in bed. But like most, if not all , NTR MCs he is swimming a river of denial. Yes, denial that his wife is "cheating" on him but also denial about his own kinks. But not the kinks you are imagining. This man likes to beat, belittle and hurt his wife - he is both physically and psychologically violent. And the author pulls no punches. This not a "kinky fun BDSM" story where the couple is playing around with "impact play", "breathplay" and some mutually agreed upon degrading pet names . This is a man who backhands his wife, chokes her within an inch of her life and who repeatedly engages in verbal abuse. You are asked to sympathize with a wife beater. The wife eagerly accepts and encourages the abuse because she holds on to the tragically-mistaken belief that offering herself up as a punching bag will help heal the MC's psychological wounds. And because she's both a moral masochist and a sexual masochist she believes she deserves his abuse. The wife - Lacey - was sexually, physically and psychologically abused as child. The MC and Lacey met as young children where the MC imagined himself as the white knight who would save the princess from her ogre parents. Only to later become the very monster he fought against. "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. " Click to expand... - some dude with a bushy mustache If the MC swims in a river of denial, his wife swims in an ocean of self loathing. Her parents taught her to hate herself and it's a lesson she learned very well. The young Lacey stabs herself pencils, she cuts herself with scissors and she continually drags herself down. After trying and failing to give herself to the MC on prom night she decides to go to college and engage in an orgy of self abuse. By which I literal orgies of self abuse where she was often the center of gangbangs and had meaningless, painful and degrading sex with hundreds of partners. This horrible experience was not entirely bad and her efforts were not wasted. Eventually she fucks the pain away and is able to have sex without thinking of her father. She's now a drug addict with brain damage but she has somehow healed one of the many wounds of her childhood. She decides to return to her high school sweetheart and become a trad wife. The tragedy of the married couple begins with a white lie. Lacey truthfully tells the MC that she never had boyfriend in college while omitting that she had hundreds of sex partners. The virgin MC is thrilled. Thrilled until the MC learns the truth and the white knight is replaced by a green eyed monster. Here we learn that the MC is an incel and "nice guy". I mean incel in the literal sense that he saved himself for marriage when he really wanted to be with Lacy and I mean in the sense that most people use the term - the MC is a man who thinks that women who have sex with lots of partners are sluts and whores; he has a Madonna - Whore complex. He hates sluts and whores just as much as desires them. He hates them for having sex and he hates himself for wanting those whores The relationship is a toxic one. He can never get past his irrational belief that his wife abandoned and cheated on him in college and she encourages his jealousy. When the MC feels jealous Lacey feels desired and secure in the relationship - when the MC feels jealous he feel insecure, this insecurity leads to anger and his anger is increasingly giving way to pure rage. The hulk is getting angrier in each chapter. "Whoever is dissatisfied with himself is continually ready for revenge, and we others will be his victims" Click to expand... - mustache guy again The author really uses the medium of a video game well because the format invites us into the MC's denial. Time and time again the MC comes to the realization that he is at least half the problem in the relationship. "Lacey and I weren't together in college, she wasn't cheating so I maybe I should stop being a dick " Unfortunately the MC has a harem of would-be lovers who talk him out of these healthy insights. The MC is constantly being lead away from mental health by well intended, scantily clad sex pots who say things like "no, no MC don't say that! you aren't an angry asshole you are one of the kindest men I've ever met, we all love you! may I please suck your dick"? And because this is a porn game they literally ask to suck his dick. Lacey also encourages the reader's denial by agreeing that she is the problem. The problem is that she had sex in colleg e, the problem is she tried to self medicate, the problem is that she was thinking of someone other than the MC, the problem is her - she's an awful human being. Not her husband! Nope, the problem is not that her husband is a puritan with a stick up his ass. We can never come to that conclusion! With any other game the player would rage quit saying "dude, take the win - you have a beautiful, devoted wife who gives world class blow jobs, who the fuck cares how she learned those skills" but because the author skillfully manipulates the reader into adopting the mindset of the MC we feel his pain and believe that the wife is the problem. For me the experience was similar to reading that-book-by-Nabakov where your feelings towards the main character is a strange blend of sympathy and deep loathing. I was also reminded of the romance of Wuthering Heights, the classic tale of jealousy, love, anger, rage, revenge and "NTR" This is not to say the game does not have problems, including its share of porn logic. I refuse to believe that this angry incel would have a harem. I likewise refuse to believe that not one member of said harem would fail to see through the MC's manipulations and recognize that Lacey is being set up as "the identified patient" in what is, in truth, a mutually destructive relationship. But these are minor quibbles. This is the first and only game on the site where I felt like I needed to dust off some literary analysis skills to understand it. The story is complex, layered, disturbing and compelling. You should try it out.

I started it in the evening and later when I looked up it was the next morning. The Characters will pull you in and I have to say there were a few times my heart hurt. The story is so well written and covers some very deep subjects in a marriage. The only part of this I dread is that screen that says The End.. I'm hooked!

I will start with this game is really good, but not for everyone. It has an increadible writing and storytelling, it just make you really fell like you are there, everything feels natural and not "over the top" to make it a story. I mean it's a really hard thing to happen in reality but it just fells so natural. The only down side i see here is really the lack of animation or the charecters in the actual scene and not just paste above it. To finish this off, if you don't like to read to understand the story don't bother to play the game, if you are here just for the porn part, don't play it either. But if you are willing to be invested in a story and actually feel bad xD. and just want to punch everyone, this is for you. Not your normal NTR game but really fun and diferent in a good way. Sorry for my english that's the best i can do.

I spent so many hours reading that I can only give 5 stars. Don't get me wrong it is by far not perfect. There are a lot of things, moments, parts in the dialogue and behavior of MC and the girls were I had to facepalm but it's been a very long time that a game hooked me that hard. Imagine you start a game at 11pm and at 7 am you see "End of chapter 1" and you still have two more chapters to go.. Conclusion; It's a game you have to experience. It's a diamond with a lot of flaws but it's still a diamond.

This is one of the best written psychological mindfuck that I have EVER read. The art is whatever, but the sheer depth of the writing of these characters and their interactions is unparalleled. The level of writing is so beyond anything I've ever read before, it became a novel that I just couldn't put down. My favorite character of this whole play is Lacey. She is so complex .her arc is tragic and so so so so so dark, but also beautiful and romantic and full of stumbles along the way. I love how intense she can be, like really fucking intense. I was not prepared for that ending. The only thing I want to know now is does this author have any books that they sell because this writing is prenominal and the twists that you think are choreographed and obvious turn out to more often than not never that. And the gravity of these two damaged star crossed lovers so entwined with each other's existence bring out in every one else is fascinating, at first it just seems like the flawed protagonist is the pull of everyone, but he is not because really they both are. Their mere existence causes shockwaves of whatever wherever they go, for good and bad. And aside from what I am sure many will think Lacey is not the villain and the story that she tells him about the Whale Shark is one of the most romantic things that I have ever read. I whole heartedly applaud you Professor Amethyst, this journey has been an intense one. Update: I actually agree with honestreviews when they say that it is not perfect and it could use editing. But when the writing is good, which is most of it except everything in Vegas, it is so good that you forget about the bad and still absolutely deserves 5 stars.

Ive not finnished the game as yet ,spent two late nights reading and getting deeper into this really fucked up story . Lacey {FMC} is unbelievably selfish, controlling and yet so believable it breaks my heart to see this journey. The MC tries to figure out wft he has gotten into with someone he deeply loves from his past but cant get over all the lies and cheating in his relationship today, as well as coping with her behaviour from the past. Its truly well written and I do like the game images but as many have said its not a fap game its on OMG car crash that you cannot take your eyes off. Its emotional on 10 levels above anything else on F95 which to a lot of people is bad but for me and others its brilliant. I see certain behaviours that I have experienced in my own life but it shows you so many deep dark issues that i hope i never experience them myself. At certain points I wanted the MC to beat her repeatley for her terrible behaviour , he doesnt . I would never hurt another in RL but this bitch!!! She trys to explain why she does these things and mostly it feels realistic and true her trauma is huge her PTSD is real her addiction is always in the background. At certain parts in the story I got real emotional feelings hitting me in the gut and the story keeps you anxious for the next scenario that will burn in your body. Like I said its like watching something truly devastating but hoping that it will be ok. If only i had half the writing skills of the author. 5 stars no question.

So, in 1998 Jerome Bixby completed a screenplay on his deathbed. In 2007 that screenplay was finally realized as the film Man from Earth . Man from Earth is ugly, like really ugly. The lighting is terrible, the camerawork is incredibly basic, the quality is abyssal. But none of that matters, because Bixby's writing is incredible , and the film just draws you in and forces you - through the sheer brilliance of its characters and dialogue - to love it. You might be wondering why any of that is relevant. Let me explain. Love & Jealousy is to AVN novels what Man from Earth is to films. This game is ugly, the AI images are lacking in personality or much appeal, the backdrops are incredibly bland and jarring. But none of that matters. In fact the creator basically tells you from the beginning that this game is about the writing, not the porn. The creator is correct. This game is something else. This is actual writing. Actual talented writing in a field dominated by pure porn slop. Whoever wrote this - you understand how the human mind functions. You understand what it's like to be stuck in your own head and the outcomes of that. And you put it into an NTR visual novel because you're a mad lad. I'm willing to bet one of the following two cases is true (or both): The creator of this game has studied psychology either formally or informally. OR The creator of this game has gone to therapy and done the work. This is a devastating, human story that also fits itself into the NTR genre. It doesn't matter if the images suck, it's the meaning behind the images and the words in front of you that leave an impact. 5 stars because I've never, in my life, been genuinely blown away by the writing of a game like this one. In fact, fuck it, there are no games like this one. This is a new medium. This is something else. Something special. Keep writing, because I'll keep reading.

There is some elements i like about this game/story and some i do not. The renders need rethinking, which seems to be happening with the inclusion of some animations . But no one is doing anything. Most of the story is static figures bookending dialoague frames. This type of dialogue works in an RPGM, because afterwards, the MC runs off into the snow and does something else until their next encounter. A visual novel, the environment needs to breath a little, sets the mood. Four static figures standing in front of a hottub image, didn't rattle my imagination. Spoiler: Cynical thoughts of the story After the cheating reveal, the MC is furious and sets out to dump his cheating slut of a girlfriend. I thought to myself; great, the MC is winning in his NTR story. I am rooting for the MC and their decisions based on consequences. Then nothing happens. And she cheats again, and again, again. And now the story has some mysterious twist that will explain eveyones actions and emotions. There is some magic dust or a travelling hypnotist involved i think at this point. Just give me the Scooby-Doo ending. Rip Issacs mask of to reveal Barty and how that pesky intern ruined all his plans for taking over Las Vegas. Or the MC waking up in a cold, dirty bathtub. And in his bathroom are four mannequins standing there, listening to his romantic ambitions. Fading off into.. it was all a dream. My two stars are based on, i hope it gets better. And I give my review two stars too, i'm not very good at them and procrastinate too long about weather i should submit, or not submit. Maybe they will get better too.

This is not a game about love or jealousy at all. Protagonists has no idea what love (or even mental health) is. It is basically a story of two freaks with clinical mental disorder. The girl is maniacally hell-bent on making MC suffer right from the beginning, from late childhood (that is the only plausible explanation for her behavior, especially in college and before it). And MC has nothing humane left in him, his obsession on staying with the girl no matter what she do is so absurd (especially later in the game), that a man who willingly puts his hand into a fire and then cries and begs fire to stop burning him (instead of getting his hand out), seems rational in comparison. Maybe the situation could be a interesting case study for some psychiatrist. But as a game it is useless. I give two stars because at the beginning game looked like it has some potential. But it's completely disappoints you later.

Do you want a fap fest? If yes, skip this game and thread entirely. For me there wasn't a single fappable scene in this "game". Not to mention there are no animations. Nothing did it for me (maybe a bit with the other LIs, who are mostly hotter than the main LI) Ok, now we threw the raw fappers out. What the hell Amethyst. What did you do to my soul, you saddist prick? I give 5* and more if I could, because we have a GEM, a rare piece of AVN in our hands, and definitely not a porn game. This is not even an NTR AVN (at least not yet). It is an immaculate work of saddistic fiction, a psychological thriller, coming straight through hell to haunt me. It created very big emotions (especially during act 1), so big that it started to b?make me numb in act 2. I wasn't even surprised with the video of Barty in act 2, I foresaw what was going on. And this is the only problem of this AVN. It hits you so hard, constantly and in an unrelenting way, that kind of disassociates you from it's core, you start accepting the MCs reality and become stoic like him. I would lose a star just from it's non granular emotion bashing, however not only it's presented extremely to the point but it makes you sit on your chair wanting and expecting more pain and anguish. The only thing I didn't like, in the context of this particular AVN (again NOT a prom game), is the constant Deux ex machina (either in the form of the saviour or in the form of the challenge). It's getting repetitive and predictable. And I understand that there is literally no other way to cause these emotions to the reader and still keep them in the loop and engaged, because let's be real, if any of us were found in the shoes of the MC, just after the first SMS session by Mia we would have jumped train (heck, planet) and go cry ourselves inside the ample bossom of sweet Anna, Jeanette, even Christine. Oh, did I mention this isn't even an NTR AVN (to me at least)? It's actual a harem AVN. And this is where I would like to offer another great hit of this AVN. It is so complex, wise, experienced and specialized in terms of presenting characters, it is so deeply layered, that I am certain few of us would think about Lacey's POV: Disregarding (lmao, like this is even possible) her past, she gets to live constantly within a close circle of extremely hot girls, who are also immensely pleasurable characters , who would almost kill to get her husband, and she knows it, her husband knows it, her friends know it. How is this not a nightmare for her, who has to also live with her past crimes. I mean cmon, how sadistic can you be? Sorry for this incoherent text, I am very touched and engaged and big with emotions now that I just finished act 2. So much, that I actually feel tired and empty (just as the MC) and this is a problem for the AVN, in terms of it's update pace. It has to be very rapid (just like the hits MC and his wife constantly get), to not let me cool and dry further. In terms of AI CG, it's not my style or liking, portraits and bodies are extremely polished, but it's mostly better than other AI CGs have been (or I have seen). They don't bother me, they serve their purpose (mostly to shock you), but they definitely aren't getting any stars. At least they are coherent and steady and help grow emotions. On a final note, I have been impressed with the prose (every character is so well represented in what but mostly HOW they say their piece) and the writing, except the constant "vomit". Which I agree, I wanted to also vomit, but Amethyst, you are better than me, so find something else to describe that feeling. Again, mille merci for this perfect slap (uppercut actually) in the face, much appreciated. Thank you for being wise and able to shock a rather numb and cynical person like me. I hope you have more for us

My new all-time favourite AVN story. By turns loving and wholesome then dark and gut-wrenching, one thing after another again and again. I found it impossible to put this down, save for forcing myself to get some sleep after I realised I'd read nearly all night. It's definitely a novel and not a fap-fest, make no mistake. Some may call this walls of text but we are looking at a piece of illustrated literature here and you need to be comfortable reading. It takes me over 24 hours to read through Acts 1 and 2 but I don't rush and instead completely immerse myself in it. For me the AI art is absolutely fine - it's illustrative of the story and that's all that matters. I was actually inspired to start learning Stable Diffusion and associated tools as a result. The artwork of the photos of Lacey's past hit really hard and the "little bitch" scene is brutal. The writing for me is thought-provoking and immersive, often making me stop and ponder how I have responded to suspected betrayals in my past and how I would have responded in such circumstances if I had the same background trauma as the protagonists. In virtually all cases I found the story's responses to be at least plausible, which to be honest is pretty rare in AVNs in my experience (and I've read hundreds of them over the years). Only one little niggle around the ntr side of things - Spoiler it's mentioned in passing after the Damien ntr scene that the MC hates that he was a little turned on by Lacey's pleasure during it. I really hate this (to me) lazy ntr trope and I hope it doesn't become a thing going forward (or it is at least optional). Overall I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone not afraid of a long read about relationship oriented mental health flux with a bountiful side-order of extreme emotional turmoil. I've signed up for the patreon and can't wait for Act 3 release in a few weeks.

Love & Jealousy [Act 2] I was thinking of giving this game 2* but realized that theres really nothing in this VN that I would consider being well done. It's boring AI slop with never ending walls of texts that are so badly written, that i'm sure that it was written by a AI as well. The models look decent but the sex pics are few and just more of the same. Visuals are half-assed all over the place like seeing AI model cutouts in front of a Daz3D(?) room which doesn't fit at all, and more. I don't see how anyone could give this 4 let alone 5*. It's a massive waste of time and I cannot recommend it.

I did not last long. I find the art style repulsive. That child-like body and weird face just gave me an ick. The sex scene I saw was very weak and lame and not arousing at all. Story in my opinion tried to too much to be dark and edgy. It was too wordy and I found myself losing attention and dozing off. There is nothing I enjoyed about it.

Only once other time in 50 years has a piece of media given me a visceral emotional reaction. There other was watching 500 Days of Summer. Maybe it's because I'm also an autistic IT guy, maybe it's because I've also suffered years of dishonesty and betrayal. But whatever the reason, this "game" did it. Professor, you are a sadist for creating this. Thank you.
