Is this the most "fair" swinging game ANIM.teamMM has made? It has everything.
- Keep it an amicable swinging party to the end. - Lose your wife. He takes it. - Lose your wife and he keeps his, taking it all. - Take his wife, you got it. - Take his wife and keep yours, taking it all.
I recall some of the past ones tended to be pretty one sided, you could win, once maybe, but there was plenty ways for the swinging to derail against you.
This may be the most garbage story TeamMM has produced. Somehow the writing is even more rushed and poor than the ones they've been doing. The story is: couple gets news that there's new neighbors moving in, they ring the doorbell and turns out it's their best friends from school. They have a 5 minute chat and then the story cuts to the next day when the neighbors bring over a bottle of wine and they're all hanging out and chatting, and the neighbor girl reveals that her husband had a crush on MC's wife, which he confirms, and MC's wife says she had a crush on him too. Before MC can process this revelation, the neighbor girl proposes that her husband and MC's wife should kiss, and without hesitation the MC's wife goes and starts frenching the guy. (???) Okay, already it has jumped the shark, but it gets worse. The neighbor guy throws out his "gaman dekinai" and starts undressing her and sucking her tits, then takes her pants off and says he can't hold back any longer and needs to fuck her. You'd expect the MC's wife to come to her senses (they only had like one sip of this magical alcohol) and at least look and say something to her husband that's right there watching all of this, or expect the husband to say something. Instead, she says hold on, here's a condom, and the neighbor guy puts it on and they start fucking. (??????) The neighbor woman eggs MC on to do the same and he fucks her too, also seemingly with no other prompt than "well, they're doing it too". After they all finish their impromptu swinging and the neighbors leave, the MC asks his wife what just happened (a little shellshocked, but not quite shellshocked enough for the outlandish thing that just unfolded before him) and she doesn't seem very remorseful or taken aback and just says "it was just that kind of vibe, you know?" What the fuck are you talking about? Just that kind of vibe? You just cheated on your husband at the first sip of alcohol and that's all you have to say? I couldn't believe what I was reading. All this happens in like the first 10 minutes of the story, by the way.
I don't understand how they can write characters and plots this bad. It's stunning. And this is visual novels, where writing is relatively cheap and you could make a long setup basically for free, but they just seem allergic to any setup at all and write increasingly nonsensical and rushed garbage. Their writing is basically Atelier Sakura tier now, arguably worse, and I don't see how it's sustainable. Every year I lose more hope that they might put out a worthy followup to Bokudaka or DDD.
