Couples [v0.28 Full] [Neverlucky]

The game should be renamed: Living with food OCD.
The author has a very disturbing obsession for food.

Only 1 question is relevant in the game: anal yes/no. Saying no will reduce (considerably) the amount of hot scenes and avoid some dialogues. Other choices will only be about the order both (yes even the amount of questions for the players are boring) question.

Prologue sets up a cast for interesting events but right from start the personality of the characters closes some paths.
MC (doctor) lives with his GF (actress + Model). Her bestie (college + nightclub bartender) is in a lesbian relationship and they move in.
GF and bestie like clubbing.
The scenario is set up to open lots of possible paths. A good base for some twists in the story (creeps/jerks/blackmail that would require MC to intervene, cheating, NTR, …).
But right from start, the author makes it clear…MC is just a wimp and their life is as boring as it gets. Dating night on Fridays (don’t event think about changing date), meals at fix time, no spontaneous events…every day is a exact copy of the previous one.

Clubbing is about “girls night”. They go clubbing without MC and the GF tells him they used to make out together so guys pay for their drinks. MC is just ok with it.
GF only informs MC about her acting/modelling gigs on last minute and content is only superficially revealed if MC asks.
Whenever MC asks about why she goes to work so early or anything related to work the answers are like: “I have stuff to do”, “Someone from work told me..”.
He gets terrified to go home because he is bit late for diner after gym, he gets scolded for being late for diner after a shift at the hospital.
It is clear that the GF is calling the shots and MC is an absolute doormat, at that point, creeps/jerks or blackmail requiring MC to intervene is out of the table.

Then the GF informs MC she got her first modelling job, with overnight at the hotel “alone” but would be back for their date night. What the job is about is disclosed only during diner after questioning of the roommates…”guess it’s winter collection”. She comes back Friday and decides to cancel their dating night and stay home. During the same night, she brings up opening the relationship…and wants it with their new roommates ….once again MC just gives in.

At mid game, the modelling gigs get longer with more overnights and modelling is progressively more revealing (again contend only partially revealed if pressed about it). Still MC is never asked to go with her and no info about what it is about unless MC asks (and no scenes either).

Meanwhile, their “open relationship” is in fact a swinger situations. They switch partner 1 fix day a week (god forbid they would disturb any routine).

So far the story is extremely boring, plot, dialogues, even the hot scenes are just boring with that strange obsessions to talk about food at any occasion (yes including sex scenes).
80% of the scenes are about them sitting at the diner table and talking about the current and the coming food.
Dialogues about days schedule is not cut into moring, afternoon….but into what they will do before or after breakfast/brunch/lunch/diner!
Even events like yoga, gym, spa, theatre or sea world visit are just skipped with a “a few hours later” for the player to see a plate of food on the table again on next render.
A fun example: MC goes for a 2 nights trip to London with one of the girls, flight, hotel…no not much renders about their trip, just the hotel room, of course the restaurant and later a bus. The GF calls him the morning they are taking the flight back…what should her question be? the conference?, the hotel? the trip? ….no the question is “What do you want for dinner tonight?”, WTF???

On the rare occasions food is not mentioned…let’s go with laundry, grocery shopping, dish washing, teethe brushing, showering…oh, and reminding every night to set the alarm for the next morning…because player couldn’t miss a black screen with “beep, beep, beep” followed by the food on the table.
Dialogues are a pain. Feels like talking to a 6 years old kid, repeating the obvious a few times, a typical example:
A: What do you want to watch?
B: Let me think….
B: I don’t know
B: Maybe, a sci-fi movie
A: You are in the mood for a sci-fi movie?
B: Yes, I’m in the mood for a sci-fi movie.
A: Then, lets watch a sci-fi movie
Bad news…now the dialogue will be about which one to watch…but they have to hurry because they need to sleep early as the breakfast has to be prepared in the morning!

Starting at part 25 MC can finally have sex with one of the roommates without protection and part 28 with the other.
Since part 24, MC is a bit more free to be intimate with the roommates without a formal partner swap on fix days. At the same time, the bestie starts to send pictures of MC being intimate with them to the GF (supposedly upon her request).

Somehow, the story gives the vibe of the GF grooming MC into accepting her to fully open her side of the relationship while he can have fun with the roommates.
But at the same time, this routine obsessions makes it hard to believe that she would put up with the stress of thinking about something else than cooking and food.

Few hot scenes (most in the SE version /Patreon) with under average quality animations and filled with pointless small talk. They ask for permission for everything like it would be the first time they would be intimate.

I thought most comments about it being boring where just rude…but i must confess I even had to take naps while playing. I took the challenge to finish up to the current update…but god, no way I will put up future updates.

Very little animations!

This is super simple. With just 2 words you can describe this… Extremely Boring.
Do yourselves a big favor and avoid downloading this. But if you still want to try, well, remember… I told you so.
