COMMENTS PROS: - See my opinions section for details. Attractive/sexy looking models, very nice proportions High quality renders for models Decent quality renders for world and general visuals. Dialogue is structured and reads well Animations are fairly good, at least in movement, but can improve on the length and frames per second as its not smooth. CONS: - See my opinions section for details. Lack of any audio is a pretty big let down. Note, some audio introduced in ep 2, but honestly it felt like a half hearted attempt Kinetic novels do limit the player to the mercy of the writer as characters have no agency due to lack of any real MC. While the dialogue is probably realistic its also boring for me, the content of the dialogue is just uninteresting really. See Comments. Characters do not look age appropriate, they actually look TOO attractive and young, typical of the clean photo-shopped look. When they get out of the pool with wet hair, they look the most age appropriate IMO. Flashback to 20 years before Helen looks like she didnt age at all. Helens character at present feels like a prude compared to her 20 years ago version, it doens't fit, a persons character doesnt just change like that and her reservations during the open relationship chat with Kate has even less merit and hypocritical, which almost implies some plot hole. James coming back after month deployment and barely in the house, he already broaches the subject of open relationship, this is too deliberate, no tact, build up, breaking of inhibitions, corruption...its just not constructed well. 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) The MC (presumably Helen) and Kate (the friend) have a strange dialogue, dynamic, relationship. The amount of times alone they call each other "baby" "babe" is so much that one would think that they are a couple. Its not a big deal, but its almost unnatural in its frequency for me, almost each sentence they keep referring to each other that way, you dont need to "name" someone all the time in a one-on-one conversation, they are the only person there its like saying their name each time the one talks. While probably realistic, the conversation between Helen and Kathy got utterly boring for me (as a man) almost 5min into the AVN, maybe its just that its mindless drivel that bored me...e.g. Kate tells Helen her story about her husband and her spark going out, just to have Helen state pretty much the same thing later to her friend...its almost too deliberate for my tastes...because the solution that worked for Kate was an open relationship, lo and behold, she pitched the same idea to Helen...again...its predictable, boring...its like the conversation on the loungers are being repeated, only at the bar. It would have been better to "prove" it and getting the MC hooked after the one discussion, to let Helen realistically chew on the idea, and even consider having a change in time e.g. they meet up a month later again and Helen could mention she and her husband are even more estranged to which Kate can suggest again the open relationship and dip their toes in...that would have been a better direction IMO. SUMMARY (TLDR) : Really good looking models, but the conversations get a bit boring and uninteresting to me, typical of a kinetic novel where the player has no agency, still its decent enough. Lack of audio, deliberate and obvious plot/dialogue that make the AVN feel rushed at least on the premise and slowed on the delivery and other items noted in my review just make that this AVN falls in that average category for me, nothing exceptional or profound.

If this is your genre it's pretty good -- accomplishes it's goals and the story is interesting enough that you don't want to pummel the skip button. The action is fun though Models -- 4.0 / 5 nothing special -- I like the look though more detail work would be better Pace -- no overt grind - pretty good 3/5 could be better Plot -- totally unbelievable -- or close to it -- the guy is an idiot but If you buy into him being an idiot it works 3.5 / 5 Animations -- serviceable 4/5 Sound -? -- 0/5 Kink - 3 / 5 so far I don't give 5s because perfection does not exist so far. - or 1s because at least someone put some effort in -- even if it sucks so for me. it is worth keeping an eye on this one. I like it -- maybe it just hits my kinks 4.0/5

This whole КN is so bad I don't even know where to begin. I'll probably start with the most obvious—the models. We're introduced to two bored housewives well over 40, with bodies that even Playboy and Hustle stars would envy. Naturally, the entire male population, seeing such mega-beauties, wants to sleep with them, including elderly farts and underage piss-takers. This situation is stupid and ridiculous in itself. Next comes the plot and presentation. One of the elderly housewives enthusiastically tells the other how wonderful the future is in an open marriage and even demonstrates how good it is by giving a blow job to a random black man in a stall. The second elderly woman, seeing this and remembering how bad things are for her in her love life (which is a complete lie—she has a loving husband with a knee-high penis who never rushed and is quite good in bed), is agonizing over how to convince her husband to open up the marriage so she can, like her bff, suck strangers' dicks in restrooms with impunity. And then (dramatic pause) the hubby returns from work and (drum roll) he himself invites her to go suck strangers' dicks. Then begins a gypsy camp of guests, friends, and those sympathetic to the open marriage, including elderly people, children, dogs, and other . I find it unpleasant to even write about this—the level of nonsense and absurdity is off the charts, and the author is completely serious about asking us to believe this bullshit. So, if you've read this far, congratulations. Don't bother with this parody of КN. It's not worth your attention, unless you're a fan of gypsies and open marriages (jk mostly).

An actual good sharing game. So far it has a good amount of teasing. There doesn't seem to be the usual "corruption" trope, that we see in most FMC games. Also doesn't seem to be an ugly bastard in sight, which makes a nice change. I will be keeping an eye on this one.

This story is one of the few and rare ones with an excellent script. The theme of couples in open relationships is currently very popular, and I don't like to "label" anything; I just follow along, and if it appeals to me, great. I'm following it.
