Confessions in the Dark feels like reading that one horny late night Discord confession that got way too real and then somehow turned into a whole story. You’re the husband here, not some faceless blank guy, with this dirty little obsession crawling in your head: you want to see your own wife get fucked by someone else. Not just “oh haha, fantasy,” but that real thing where your brain is screaming no and your dick is saying yes, louder. The game doesn’t rush you into gangbang fireworks in the first click. It kind of lets the idea rot and bloom in your head at the same time, like when you rewatch that one Pornhub video you swear you’re not into, then keep searching the same tags anyway. It’s a kinetic novel, so you’re not juggling stats or grinding money on some fake job, just following this guy’s spiral while the story pokes your weak spots. The AI CGs are weirdly perfect for this too, because half of them look like those cursed but hot pics you save from Twitter and never admit. His wife has these massive tits that just sit there in every scene like a problem, always framed too nicely, like the game is saying “you sure you wanna share this?” and you already know the answer is yes and no.

The hotter part for me isn’t when she’s actually getting fucked, it’s the build-up. Those tiny moments where they talk about it like it’s just some “theoretical” fantasy while both of them are obviously dripping inside. She starts teasing with texts, with outfits you know aren’t just for you, late-night chats that maybe go too long with some “friend,” and the story pretends “it’s just exploring” at first. At one point he’s lying in bed doomscrolling Pornhub and Reddit, looking at couples who actually do it, and you can almost smell that mix of guilt and raw curiosity. It felt way too real. Then later there’s this scene where she comes home, perfume heavier than usual, lipstick a little fucked up, and nothing explicit is said, just this weird silence between them while he tries to act normal. That gap is nastier than any creampie shot, and yeah those are here too, very in your face, but the real corruption is between their words. One moment he’s proud of her for “being open” and the next second he’s jerking off in the bathroom, half crying, half moaning, replaying the mental image of another guy pushing into her. The game calls it romance sometimes, which is almost funny, because it is romantic, in this fucked up way where love and jealousy and cheating get mixed together like some cheap cocktail that still gets you drunk. I caught myself rooting for him to hurt and to enjoy it at the same time. It feels less like a power fantasy and more like letting a fantasy chew on you until you don’t know if you want to close your eyes or watch every single thrust going into your wife’s soaked pussy, dripping out on someone else’s cock while you sit in the dark and pretend you’re totally fine with it.

Koji feels like that guy from every boring salaryman meme. Stable job, stable pay, stable marriage, stable everything, like his whole life is one long default setting on a porn site filter. Got the nice quiet wife at home, Minako, older but still lowkey hot in that “housewife who pretends she doesn’t know how good her ass looks in those leggings” way. Nothing really wrong, nothing really thrilling either. Then Rin drags home this smug little punk as her boyfriend and suddenly the whole safe little world Koji built starts dripping filth in the corners. Not in some overdone drama way, more like your brain just catches one angle too long and suddenly you’re rock hard and pissed off at yourself at the same time. You know that feeling when you watch something on XVideos that you swear you’re not into, then three tabs later that’s exactly what you’re searching for on purpose? Yeah. That.

The good part is how the game sits you right in that ugly horny spot. It doesn’t pretend Koji is a noble dude. He’s working late, tired, scrolling shit on his phone like FapHouse and Pornhub on the train, thinking about his sweet loyal wife while also getting turned on by clips where wives get passed around or talk back to their husbands. Then you come home and Rin’s boyfriend is there, way too loud, way too confident, way too handsy even when he’s just “helping” Minako with something. One scene you’re just watching them make dinner together and it feels normal, next second the camera goes a bit closer on Minako’s chest when she leans over him and Koji’s inner voice goes to a real dark place. Not dark as in murder, dark as in “why does it turn me on seeing my wife standing too close to another man” and then you get the choice to either shut that down or lean into it. Of course you lean into it, you animal. Tiny touches matter here. Stuff like Minako asking if her dress is too tight to meet Rin’s boyfriend, just casual, and Koji can either say “you look modest” or “you look a bit too sexy” and then secretly hope she doesn’t change. The tease is slow and kind of mean.

It plays a lot with the whole “who is stealing who” angle. Sometimes it feels like Minako is being taken from you, sometimes like you are the one serving her up on a plate and pretending to be upset. One route I had her texting other guys at night while Koji sits in the next room trying to focus on some boring company data, pretending he can’t hear the little alert sounds. Another moment she’s sitting on the couch with Rin’s boyfriend, both of them watching some stupid Netflix show, and you stay standing in the doorway too long. He spreads his legs, she doesn’t move away, your chest tightens, and suddenly the game throws you an option like “imagine her on his lap” that you didn’t ask for but your dick did. It’s not just straight “wife gets fucked and you cry”, it slides between jealousy, arousal, shame, actual love for her, and that fucked up happiness when she smiles more after getting attention from other men. And yeah, sometimes it goes full-on cruel, especially if you push the more hardcore stuff, but I liked that it lets Koji be complicit instead of only a victim. He corrupts himself, not just his wife. Though I’m still mad the game never explained why Rin’s boyfriend chews like that in one dinner scene. Couldn’t focus on the dialogue, just wanted to choke him and also watch Minako suck him off right there at the table. Anyway. The whole thing feels like someone recorded that phase where you discover a new kink from some random porn recommendation and turned it into a slow burn story that keeps rubbing salt and cum on the same wound over and over.

Distance porn hits different when the whole game is literally just you, her, and this shitty little chat window that somehow ruins your evening in the best way. You play the guy who went away for work, but honestly it feels more like you’re trapped inside a horny Telegram thread where every choice is either “be a sweet husband” or “poke at something you’re not sure you wanna see.” It starts innocent enough: she sends a pic of her dinner, you joke, you flirt, it’s soft, kind of warm. Then the game quietly starts asking, ok, what if she dressed a little more slutty for you, what if she told you about that coworker in more detail, what if you encouraged her just a little. The whole thing is text and photos, no map, no walking around, just you constantly picking replies and waiting for that next photo like a degenerate refreshing WhatsApp. When she sends the first slightly risky selfie, low light, maybe bra strap showing, your brain goes “oh yeah, it’s starting” and at the same time “shit, am I really gonna push this?” Of course you push it. That’s the point.

The chat is where the game feels nasty in a good way. Some answers are super tender, like you’re writing cringe romance from high school, and some are just filthy, like “yeah, show me more, but maybe let him see too.” And yes, I said “him.” There’s this slow poison in how the messages are written: her stories about daily life start including this guy more often, casual mentions, tiny hints, like when she says “he helped me carry something heavy” and you get the option to laugh it off, get jealous, or do the worst thing and say “you should tease him for me.” When you hit those provocative options, it’s not instant porn. It drips. A hand on a shoulder in a photo. A dress that’s too short “by accident.” A mirror selfie where you know someone else took the picture, but she pretends not to say it. The AI-like art has this glossy, slightly uncanny vibe that weirdly fits the mood, like these are pictures she shouldn’t be sending to anyone, not even her husband. Sometimes a hand looks a little off or the background is weird and you’re like “ok, that plant is illegal in three countries” but your eyes are glued on her nipples anyway, so whatever. I had one run where I tried to keep it pure, picking all the loving answers, being the perfect guy, and somehow it felt even dirtier when she still slipped you that suggestive pic “just for fun.” Not sure if the game is judging me or if I’m just projecting.

There is a point in the middle where the pacing kind of drags, like the game knows you’re here for the fucked-up voyeur stuff and still makes you talk about laundry and groceries for ten screens. It’s realistic, yeah, couples do that, but my dick didn’t care about the price of tomatoes. I almost closed the tab, but then she sends this grainy bathroom mirror shot, just a towel, wet hair, and a tiny reflection of someone behind the frosted glass. Might be nothing. Might not. And suddenly those boring messages feel like set-up. The writing leans hard on that “did she mean that?” feeling, especially when you choose the more permissive replies and she starts asking things like “you don’t mind if I dress sexy around others, right?” or “would it turn you on if someone looked at me the way you do?” You can steer it into straight-up cheating or keep it in that twisted fantasy zone where you’re the one pushing her to the edge while pretending your hands are clean. The game doesn’t pop up a disclaimer or scold you, it just gives you more pictures, more suggestive framing, more texts where she sounds confused and horny and a little too excited to share details. Porn wise, it gets explicit, no teasing fade-outs: tits, pussy, cum, awkward angles like she really snapped them in a hurry. Some scenes feel like they were made to be screenshotted and saved in a hidden folder, others look messy in a surprisingly honest way, like drunk sexting that went too far. By the time another man’s presence in those photos stops being just “maybe” and turns into “ok, that’s his hand for sure,” you’re not even shocked, you’re just scrolling, choosing answers, and quietly asking yourself when exactly you lost control. You probably never had it.

This one feels like someone took a marriage counseling session, set it on fire, and then kept all the sex parts. You’re not playing some generic harem hero here, you’re the husband who keeps smiling while his stomach slowly knots up, watching his “perfect” wife get more and more curious about things that definitely weren’t in the church vows. The game doesn’t rush it. At first it’s just small stuff: lingering stares from guys with way too much confidence, “innocent” touches that go on one second too long, her laughing a bit too hard at some other dude’s joke. The humiliation is soft at the start, like background noise: a hand on her lower back, a “friendly” hug, the way you stand there pretending this is all fine while your brain screams. Then it escalates. Of course it does.

As an accessibility nerd, this VN made me swear at my screen more than once. Ren’Py can give pretty basic comfort tools, but here half of them feel like afterthought. Text size is okay, not great. On my Steam Deck I had to lean in to read some dialogue because the color contrast with certain backgrounds is trash. The settings are there, but it’s like the dev just dropped the default menu and went “yeah, good enough.” No simple high contrast mode, no bold option, skip settings a bit clumsy. Keyboard navigation technically works, but if you’re used to stuff like Twine projects that respect your tab key, this will annoy you. I spent like ten minutes trying to use just keyboard and finally said screw it and grabbed the mouse. On mobile Chrome, pinching to zoom is clunky with the UI frames. Also, who puts tiny tooltips on a porn game? I’m not here to squint at icons wondering what they do. On the other hand, the choice prompts are pretty clear visually, and at least the text is not super thin or weird fancy font. Very middle ground. Like they almost care about accessibility, then got horny and forgot.

Anyway, the actual meat of the story is all about NTR and corruption, and the game is not shy. If you’re one of those people who likes “soft NTR where nothing truly happens,” this is not that. The wife doesn’t just flirt; she slides into this world where monsters, “friends,” strangers, and guys who look like they walked out of a gym fetish subreddit all get their turn testing how far her halo can slip. There are big asses everywhere, and the art is honest about it. No delicate shy cheeks, more like “holy shit, that thing is a shelf” while hands grab and squeeze and spread. The monsters scenes are extra filthy because the dev really leans into the wrongness: size difference, claws on skin, that “I know I should stop but I can’t” face. Interracial stuff is front and center too, and the game really plays on that tension: the husband watching tall, hung guys claim what he thought was “his,” and he tries to cope like it’s one of those netorase fantasies where he’s in on it. Except he’s clearly not. He’s sweating, overthinking, pretending this is “for her pleasure” while the scenes are framed just enough to make you feel his fear of being replaced. Sometimes she asks him what he thinks, and the choices don’t let you magically stop the NTR. You just pick what flavor of helpless you want. It’s nasty, in the good way if your stomach likes that tight, sick, horny mix. Groping is constant: crowded tavern, carriage rides, “accidental” touches that become a full-on hand under her clothes. She resists less each time, and that slide into corruption feels believable, almost scary, like watching a friend you know slowly choose the worst option every time.

Playing it like a therapist is weirdly satisfying. You watch this dude rationalize his own cuckold fantasy into existence, then lose control of it. The UI could make that experience smoother for people with low vision or motor issues, but here we are. If you want to squeeze every filthy drop out of it, I suggest this: turn auto-forward on, slow it down a bit so you’re forced to sit with his pain, not just click through to the money shots; avoid skipping scenes, even if they feel “slow”; and when the wife starts enjoying other hands a little too much, don’t try to look away. Let the shame soak. That’s the whole point.
