Devoted Wife

After reading the synopsis of what Devoted Wife was all about, I was pretty excited to check it out. This is a lewd visual novel that dives into the whole cheating wife thing, but it sounded like this was going to have a pretty impactful story. After playing through the game, I have some pretty mixed feelings about it. It is the kind of game that I felt I really had to talk about, as it was such an interesting experience and truly did show the best and the worst of what the lewd visual novel genre has to offer.

A Man With A Fetish

The premise of the story that developer LoveStory has gone for here truly did spark my interest. We have this loving couple who really do love each other, but the wife finds out that her husband has a major fetish for her being with other guys. As she loves him so much, she is more than willing to do other dudes as she just wants to make him happy. This is a storyline that many of us have seen before in other lewd visual novels, but there was something about the way it was described that really clicked with me.

Putting It Into Practice

The thing is, Devoted Wife may have a pretty cool idea for a story, but the execution is not all that great. With the way the story was described, it sounded to me like LoveStory was going for a real emotional kind of thing where the wife struggles, but nope, that is not the case. It also sets it up like it will be a young lodger who awakens her cheating desires, but nope, she just sucks and bangs whoever she can and there is no real emotion from her or her husband that she is doing it for! Plus, they just start introducing characters at a pretty wild rate, and they want you to pay for them too! I would be ok with that if the characters actually had some character and were interesting.

Is That Pee Wee?

That is a dated Porky’s reference for you, but the point I am getting at here is why do the guys have these long, but super thin penises? The wife, Rina, is an Asian cutie, but the characters in general have a bit of a dated look about them. You could have told me that this is a game from the early to mid-2010s, and I would have honestly believed you. To be fair, the developer does not mess around all that much and you do get to the XXX stuff pretty quickly and regularly. However, your young lodger is just way too short, so the stuff with him, which you think is going to be the most impactful stuff in the story, feels rather odd.

My Wallet Is Over There

LoveStory has made a pretty basic lewd visual novel here, as you just watch the story unfold and do not have what feels like any major impact on the way things go. To be fair, it works well enough, but if you want to see all the game has to offer, a great deal of it is hidden behind a paywall. Hey, developers have to get paid, and I more than support that, but the extra content here does not feel like it adds any real substance or importance to the game. Thankfully, you can play it without spending money first and then decide if this is something you wish to support.

Pros:

• The wife is cute
• Some of the sex scenes are pretty hot
• I got a few chuckles out of how odd some of the story was
• I am sure some people will like this

Cons:

• The story has a great premise, but the execution is lacking
• So much pointless stuff feels like it is behind a paywall

Devoted Wife is an erotic visual novel about peculiar fetishes that appeared in a very ordinary family. All your life you have been married to Rina, but only recently you started to notice her strange social behavior. After a little investigation, it turns out that your wife is cheating on you, and even with people you know. But instead of full-blown rage and resentment, you both agreed on a little scheme to cheat on Rina. Now she cheats in front of your eyes and is not embarrassed about it, and you get a strange pleasure from what is happening.

Pros of the game:

• Animated erotic scenes
• Your choices can influence Rina's choice of her next partner
