Murders & Mistresses

If you want something that looks like it was rendered in 2012, then this is the game for you

Great

Great game! Fully recommended!

very nice

This is game is special. Sufficiently so for me to write a review before completing it - it's that good. I know it's a cliche to say "I'm came for the lewds, stayed for the story" - but [i]Murders and Mistresses[/i] managed to hook me line and sinker - like the smooth protagonist intended... I expect. I've alway felt the biggest challenge of "slice of life" AVNs - which technically this game falls within - is how to make the eroticism plausible and sufficient for the adult genre. Yet, M&M solves this deftly by making the protagonist charismatic through his mind, not simply his libido. About 1 in 10 adult visual novels - or less - hold out any hope for legitimating the genre through pure quality (and thus undoing the damage that [i]No Mercy[/i] inadvertently did) but [i]Murder and Mistresses[/i] is one of this lofty company.

Game was okay up until Chapter 14 "The Little Game" where the developer kills your wife unless you do horrible things to people you care about. That might be somebody's fantasy but it isn't mine. I guess I didn't realize this was such a horribly dark game with absolutely no redeeming value. Play it if you like an okay game with okay mechanics and dialog but I personally draw the line at tragedy. There is a reason I played Acting Lessons 1 time and immediately deleted it from my library. I am adding a 2nd game to be deleted from my library.
