Oh, wow, the plot looks twisted. I'm downloading it now, will post the review later.

EDIT
I finished it! Well, because I already downloaded the file before you changed the link, I don't know what's the difference but it's working thou. As I thought, the story has twists and they surprised me. A LOT.
Overall, it's short and good--and straightforward. Added that.

I like how you use 2nd person point of view which isn't usual (but I keep telling myself that it's not ME). I don't really understand what happens to the woman; is she hallucinating? But she knows that she hallucinates?

And the part when all of sudden she kissed the paperboy and getting more than that, I was speechless. It was so straightforward to the point where I need time to understand it. In the end, the paperboy is such a jerk. Poor husband. At first I hate him but in the end, he does care about his wife. A bit too late thou.

Was waiting for this to come out.

Surprised of explicit it was in the... 'naughty' area. All those very 'naughty' bits were unexpected, hopefully you don't get in trouble with that. Quite enjoyed it, very descriptive, it's like a common drama you see on T.V.
Leaves a bad taste in your mouth in the end, but that's to be expected.

This get's one half-simile from me~
Congrats on all the hard work for this Nano guys!

To bad will never know 'WHO MY BABY DADDY' is, quite lame. I like to think it was the paperboy myself.

Can't say much about the husband, he didn't flesh out to me so much. I forgot about him half of the time... Maybe that was suppose to be the point! *Gasp*

You got it! it's written that way on purpose, especially in the beginning.

I Don't what to say about this, other than that the woman was really delusional o__o.
Overally, there were plot twists, which surprised me! It was an enjoyable read~

Just finished playing it.. If she wanted to get a baby that much why don't she just go to the hospital? Instead of using the young boy who really did fall in love with her.

Review Time~ (don't really know if you feel my opinion is relevant but oh well...)
CAUTION TO THOSE WHO HAVEN'T PLAYED YET - THERE ARE SPOILERS! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Normally I'd avoid this type of stories but it certainly lured me in
with its whole affair drama (n-not like I enjoy reading those!). It
was just for a change of pace. I'd have to say it was very refreshing
and different from the whole "Love will always Prevail!". The setting
was very unsettling and made me very nervous the whole time also
question marks were flying round my head on what the heck was going
on at some parts then I remember this story has a sexual theme in it.

The Husband: The Paperboy:

Fairly good story. Has a proper length to it too. The GUI is... I won't comment as this is a submission for
Nanoremo 2013 so it's fine. I do enjoy your sprites they're nicely made--though still could need some touch-up
and cleaning. The only thing that irked me most in this game was hearing the baby (shudders) I like kids but
it almost made me remember the babies from Silent Hill 4: The Room - almost.

Overall - Good. I enjoyed it. (smiles)

Please do forgive me when I thought this was an otome game where you cheat on your husband. I read a review about a game like that somewhere and thought it was the same.

I was wrong, and boy do I feel satisfied because I am.

Huh. That was a pretty unique take on the issue of cheating - instead of showing it as something that evil people do for evil reasons, it portrayed a more realistic version of it. Sometimes breaking commitment has it's own reasons and motivations, in some cases justifiable, but, nevertheless, the consequences are never pleasant. Congratulations on completing an interesting visual novel.

I'm so happy to see people are enjoying this game! Jubbz did a great job writing, and roundmetal did a great job on the art! I'm sorry if the GUI isn't great. I haven't learned how to do custom menus and stuff (i did learn to do custom choice menu and textbox) I got sick towards the last week of Nanoreno! So I didn't have much time left over to experiment with new things. Anyway, I will try to learn custom menus and GUIs more so next time it'll look nicer.

Then I look forward to your possible upcoming VNs (nods)

I'm feeling pretty proud of myself that you guys enjoyed my writing! It's also amusing to see so many opinions about the husband and paperboy, so It's good to know I sorta had just enough depth for peeps to specula a bit.

But i'm so glad ya'll played this game, you guys are awesome!

Hey has anyone had any problems with this game crashing? My friend told me it keeps crashing on him, just not sure if it's his computer or what. Please let me know if any technical problems!
