The first thing that hit me in House of Secrets was that quiet feeling of being watched in your own place. Not jumpscare stuff, more like you walk through this neat, almost too clean house and every room remembers what you did inside it. You sit on the couch with your wife, she barely looks at you, her voice feels cold even through text, and somehow it stings more than the actual sex scenes later. The sound of her heels on the floor, her stiff posture at the dining table, the way she pulls away when you try to touch her, all that is written in a way you almost feel the texture of the air between you. I had Discord open on the other monitor, music muted in Spotify, and still the silence in this game felt louder than everything.

Then the blonde shows up, this shy girl who moves like she is scared to take too much space. When she first enters the house, the camera sticks close to her body, to small details, like the way her fingers tighten around the strap of her bag or how her shirt clings slightly to her breasts when she breathes in. The pov angle really sells it, in a dirty way and also kind of intimate. You are basically following your own gaze, you linger too much on her big tits, on her ass when she bends a bit too far while helping in the kitchen, and the game just lets you be a creep without scolding you. One of the hotter moments for me was a simple one: she leans over you to reach a cabinet, and the fabric of her top brushes your face for half a second. There is no sex there, but my brain filled all the rest. Then five minutes later you are in the bedroom listening to your wife talk about how you never pay attention to her, and suddenly you feel like a dick and still keep saving your progress right before every branching choice so you can see all the wrong options.

Stuff happens in small spaces. Corridors, the bathroom mirror, the gap of a half open door where voyeurism really kicks in. Watching the wife undress from behind the door, seeing that big ass she never lets you touch anymore, or spying on the blonde when she thinks she is alone, her hand sliding under her panties, soft wet sounds described without shame. I liked that the game is not scared to describe the mess. When you finally cheat, it is not clean porn. There is the weight of a body on you, the scratch of nails, the smell of sweat in a closed room, the awkward bumping of knees. She rides you on that couch that used to be just for boring TV nights, her tits bouncing in your face, and you feel this stupid mix of guilt and pure lust. The CG quality is sometimes a bit uneven, some angles look like the AI went crazy with shadows on the face, but the way they handle skin, the shine on nipples, the curve of a thigh pressing down on your hips, it all works too well in motion of the story. I got annoyed that some clicking zones are tiny, like the hotspot on a glass in the kitchen, and spent way too long hunting that instead of boobs. Also one late scene in the bathroom mirrors is hot as fuck, water running down her body, her back pushing to the cold tiles, and yet the game still pretends you might want to save the marriage after that. Which is kind of bullshit, but I kept clicking anyway.
