The Assistant is a Ren'Py visual novel by Backhole, presented with 3DCG art and animated sequences. You play a middle-aged man who takes a job as a personal assistant to a wealthy family. At first the position seems rewarding, but both the household and your own life soon bring unexpected complications. The story explores adult themes such as cheating, corruption, and a harem setup.
Development is finished with the 3.5 release, dated September 3, 2026. It is available on Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android, in English and Spanish, and is uncensored. The final build completes the project overall. The preceding 3.4 update added hundreds of new renders, dozens of animations, and four scenes tied to Olivia, Clarice, and Sister Prudence.

- Eliminated all traces of possible NTR content, like the jerk off scene with Sarah. I changed that scene to a new one with a new animation. I also changed the scene of Pamela and her husband in day 3
- Improved English translation, thanks to
elasstommer
- New content. One day more
- Note: this is not a sandbox game, it has just a little of free roaming in some moments, to change the rhythm of the game, but not map or grind. It's mainly a Visual Novel with decisions that mark the development of the story.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Translation issues
: if you experience some problem with the translation (such as you are playing in English and some sentences are in Spanish or vice versa) restart the game and that will fix the problem

I never expected I'll say it to the game, but... it's not you, it's me. Let's just be frie... fuck buddies. Spoiler: Legend Green = I like it / pros Yellow = Mixed feelings / neutral Red = I don't…

Yeah, I don’t know why this developer always includes ideas like becoming an assistant, etc. the previous MC was also almost the same as in the earlier game, and there are even characters that feel similar. Well, the plot feels…

I try to make it short. As a VN, I wouldn't recommend it. It's not very well written, plot and characters are mediocre at best, so if this is important to you, you don't miss much IMO. However, it is…
