Your job? Document their lives, interfere as you see fit, and watch what happens.

hey man i have 2 questions :
q1-: does igor and anatassia have only one scene(the one in her bedroom).
q2-: this is more of a request.....the concept of house wife was amazinng...the game had some bugs and trivial mechanics.....so can you in the future consider re-releasing it with better mechanics and stuff?
love your games....peace✌
great games! How long till next game come out?
Cant say, but it will come out eventually, working on them slowly every day
What will your next game be about?
Also, amazing games, my guy!
Thanks! There are two games, one is CCTV 3 with a father protagonist, and one on a cruise ship in which you can pick who to play on.
Thanks! There are two games, one is CCTV 3 with a father protagonist, and one on a cruise ship in which you can pick who to play on.
I think the game is broken, i can't progress this (anastasia/igor in the parent bedroom) scene, it says that i need to have "act on my fantasies" but u can't have "act on my fantasies" and "one way or another" at the same time.
It's not broken, this specific part is just confusing / unintuitive. Both paths lead to Anastasia's room, when they "Disappear" from the room => switch the camera's to Anastasia's room and the scene will proceed from there.
Got it, really enjoyed ur cctv games, btw i really like the song in the sunkissed main menu, can u tell me what's it called ? Can't seem to find it anywhere on the internet
Thank you kindly!
You can't find it because it's done specifically for that game, it's the game's theme song.
Hey mate, great game, honestly! I'm curious though, is it a bug where you have "Dominant" Anastasia in the bedroom and it requires "act on my fantasies" but to unlock that you need her submissive?
I tried re-speccing but it only looped back to her "submissive" content afterwards, so I was just wondering if it was a bug or just no content except the "stretching" at the mirror at that point
Thank you! this specific part is just confusing / unintuitive. Both paths lead to Anastasia's room, when they "Disappear" from the room => switch the camera's to Anastasia's room and the scene will proceed from there.
Hey thanks for the reply!
Yeah I kinda got that part, but you'd have to spec out of "Dominant" into "submissive" for Anastasia to be able to spec into "act on my fantasies" for Igor
which you basically have to respec the story right as you've triggered the "watch more" sequence with both of them in the bedroom
Was the "act on my fantasies" perhaps supposed to be enabled for both Submissive and Dominant Anastasia, or are you actually supposed to do the re-speccing mid scene?
No, you can just reach it from two different paths, one that is initiated from Igor and one initiated from Anastasia.
Yeah I assume this is the "Anastasia initiation" path, but as you can see it gives the "requires: Act on my fantasies" text still. This is the only time outside of them drinking together that I could get a "Watch further" scenario in the house
Them drinking together eventually leads to the same scene in her room. So that's why you seemingly need to "respec" (You don't just two paths that lead to the same ending)
Disculpa, pero abra una manera diferente de pagar por el juego, resulta que yo tengo una tarjeta para pagar que solo funciona con CVV y no con CVC y no puedo con paypal por qué no me deja crear una cuenta.
Realmente quiero comprarme el juego porque me gustó mucho.
Unfortunately you could only get the game through itch.io I apologize
Ya encontré la forma de como comprarlo me tarde un poco, pero lo logré además en día de descuento 2 juegos grandiosos debe ser mi día de suerte, además agradezco por traer maravillosos juegos
When is your next family incest game coming out?
It will take some time, more than I'd like it to
I very much enjoyed this one. More Father/Daughter for the future maybe?
Thank you! Maybe
Any new game ideas?
Most of us love the first CCTV, different iterations of that format would be perfect, no need for anything fancy or new. Just more depth to scenes and game overall.
Hello. I bought the game CCTV USSR from you. When playing the game, the game crashes after a while, and I have to play it again.I'm playing it on a Lenovo Tab M10 plus 3rd Gen.I would be grateful for any help.
1. First make sure to save often
2. Second try to decrease the graphics in the settings and see if it helps.
3. Make sure to close as many apps / programs that run in the background as you can, you can use CTRL+Escape to open the task manager and scan for running apps you don't need. Usually if a crash happens late in the game for no apparent reason it's due to being "out of memory" (ram)
4. If nothing works, you might be able to run the android version of the game on bluestacks (bluestacks.com ) and it may not crash
Very good game retsymthenam, big fan of how you do build-up. My favorite of your games is Sunkissed but the two recent ones were amazing. Do you have a discord or something. Would love to see further game ideas from you and a community where we can propose ideas for new stores.
Thank you kindly! Unfortunately there's no official discord server or anything because I rather spend more time developing rather than moderating / updating communities 😬 I don't have much time nowadays for that even
I understand, was wondering what plans you have for the next game after CCTV 3? Or do you read/accept fan propositions? Just wondering and keep up the good work
Yeah, I do read and get inspired by what people write / suggest
Will we have a preview about the last one of the trilogy?👀👀 i can’t wait, GOAT
Thank you bud, this will take time unfortunately can't tease anything right now
Absolute banger of a game and fantastic way to end a great series Retsym, you never disappoint. If you ever decide to revisit the concept of cctv, the only suggestion I have is to maybe make the keys for switching the video feed between cameras a bit less sensitive or maybe add a hotkey for it( if there is , please ignore the comment). Also Retsym, have you considered maybe working on a remake/remaster of your earlier series? things like Lone mother, Michael's family, The long vacation, I think those would be tremendously popular and I'd buy them all in heartbeat, I love how intimate those games feel. Cheers!
Thank you! Kind and much appreciated words. Not sure if I'll make a remake to those games, why not just make something new instead? Also, what do you mean by "intimate"?
I agree as I also find myself in that spot torn between making new things and revisiting old ones, could be a reimagination, regardless Im sure itll be yet another gem. By intimate I guess I mean maybe one household? or a smaller family unit? like how in Lone mother it was just the three mains. Ive always had a bias for the boy/son centered perpective as the lead protagonist, like in desperate days or michael's family. In my mind theres a sort of equivalence , the bigger the household(more family members) the less intimate, but it also means less content(potentially?) and inversely, the less numerous the family the more intimate it can get? if that makes sense
It does, also the more "time resource" or "storage resource" (video files can make the build too big to run on platforms like android, etc...) spent on more characters, the less that is spent on deepening the others
Thank you for the thorough comment! I'll take that into consideration, I already have in mind some of what you wrote though
Thank you for the thorough comment, I've never seen this ironic / comical picture before (even tho the statement *is* technically still true hehe) I love those kinds of pictures, that feed the imagination. I think, however that I've made too many games about desperate times / scenarios and would rather make something more similar to sunkissed / housewife (?) in it's setting (rather than "great depression", maybe save it for the setting of a future game). Still not sure though since life doesn't give me enough time to work on those games nowadays, but it's a matter of time.
The idea now for the third game is to have a family of: Father, Mother, Daughter, Son, Son, Pet dog. They are somewhat rich (big house with a pool) and live in a western society in modern times (so smartphones also participate) But I am still researching new / interesting paths that would lead to interesting interactions between the characters and that were not done in the past yet either by me or overdone by others. (and are convincingly hot)
If for some reason (unlikely) all fails and I would have to give up on the idea in the meantime, there are a few other ideas:
Another idea might be a "hitwoman" or "hitma'am" game (Hitman game but you play as a female) in which you seduce / infiltrate ninja-style , etc...
or an RPG like atomiquest but better and in a fantasy setting
or a CCTV-Like game but in which you help a character escape a building or something instead of just watching the day-to-day.
But those are plan-b ideas, we'll see 🤷♀️
Interesting, played the last game like this and I was on windows, now im on linux and both version, without wine being involved the screens are slower or worse, stuck in place. Is that common?
Stuck in place? You are not supposed to be able to move around haha (only look around), as for running it on Linux, I am not sure, does the machine has a dedicated graphics card? Have you tried wine? / or running the android version on Bluestacks?
No, you don’t understand. Whether it’s wine for the windows version or Linux, there is a situation in which the screens flicker between camera to camera and whenever it tries to show people, it’s just a white screen; sex scene or non sex scene doesnt matter. Every time. If English isn’t your forte, then… I can use Google Translator or something.
Oh, you were talking about the in-game monitors. It has issues running "video" files in the game itself, I guess it has to do with the OS or might be even the video-card of the device. Would you like to get a refund on your purchase?
Oh, Not really, or not yet at least. I am running a Nvidia Geforce 1050 which is now consider older gen. I am saving up for a framework laptop that uses a AMD GPU so I will just save it for then. If at that point it doesnt work then it would be nice to get a refund but that will be for a while. still can play the 1st CCTV game.

Really long comment alert!
I've loved all your games. CCTV series hit the spot perfectly. You are my favorite P-game dev. I'm sure you've got your plans but maybe this rambling may spark some ideas for the third installment:
With so many variation in CCTV2 I felt while each path was great, there was room for more slow burn and content/animation variations. One thought I had was more content in DLC. For another $5 post initial release content could be added to further a path or add inbetweens animations. Even add certain characters route giving the initial release more focus on core characters. Some variation of this.
One example, I was surprised there wasn't overlap with Sasha, Sandra, and Maria. Group showers or sleepovers. Even now I'd pay for more content. Reusing models so it's easier for you. ;)
You mentioned the next installment would be Western based... However I would love to see a female head of the family that is Asian. Not just black hair but thinner eyes pushing stereotypes. That may just be me. I also really love your proportions. I've got bias' clearly but pushing the envelope with larger breasts would be pretty sweet. Again DLC potential with updated models?
I hope you can derive some inspiration from this. If you like my ideas I could share more. I hope I didn't cause any offense either. I really love all your games since housewife. Please continue to take my cash and keep pumping these amazing games.
I hate to be that guy but... any updates or breadcrumbs to share?
Hey! Thank you for the thoughtful and well appreciated comment!
Not sure for now, I have lots of life events that would make the development of CCTV3 longer than usual. And something in me feels like it doesnt innovate enough over the last two. Like I don't really have interesting enough / new slow-burner paths to be really excited about making (instead of just feeling I am doing the same thing over again) So a little stuck on that front. But I do try to make it work.
You could open a slowburn/scenario inspiration poll for people to give you ideas! Life comes first, I completely understand. Out of curiosity what program do you use to make your models?
Thank you, Modified Klub17
I recommend reading erotic stories.
"Refuge RoadTrip 2"
"Housewife 2"
Don't make your life complicated.
Had to buy a new laptop to play this on. Very good game, the gameplay is very good. Probably would've felt better if I didn't have a trackpad but whatever. The gallery system is a lot better than the previous CCTV's and I appreciate just watching the cameras and not having to leave to go to work. I do wish there was bit more of a slow burn and I wish there were a few more scenes(who doesnt) but more 3some scenes with the different characters would've been good routes to see.
Thank you! Warm words, glad you enjoyed the new game! And congratulations on the new laptop!
Thanks for the game and thank you for not being scared to try new things. Your previous games are amazing yet you still try to find new mechanics for the next one and they're often successful. Who would've thought you'd go from housewife and refugee roadtrip to CCTV
may i get a free download link from CCTV - USSR *wink wink*
Sure, here you go
On android it will randomly just kick you off the app.
This does not happen on other devices from what I've tested.
possible solutions:
1. Your device might be out of memory and eventually crash the game - you might want to make sure that less apps are running in the background while you play.
2. You might want to try a different platform? Windows / Mac / Linux
3. You might be out of storage space, if so, removing a few things from the phone and trying again might help.
4. Unlikely to solve anything, but you might want to restart the device and try again
More information ? :
What device are you using? Is there an error that you see when it happens? Does the game freeze or just close the app? Does it happen with other games too / or the free version?
Its a Samsung. Haven't filled up memory yet. It just randomly kicks out of app. The app open but reloads when reentering. Hadvthis happen on CCTV and Sunkissed as well. Though other porn games like Summertime Saga have also done it. Its only the porn games that do this for Androids.
Really odd, no error no anything, can you help me with more info?
(
What device are you using? Is there an error that you see when it happens? Does the game freeze or just close the app? Does it happen with other games too / or the free version?
)
I have this same issue, my game freezes very often on Android, I have a poco f6, it has happened with other games but this one it happens very often to the point I have to save after every action just in case.
Odd, never encountered it, can you providde more details about the issue?
(
What device are you using? Is there an error that you see when it happens? Does the game freeze or just close the app? Does it happen with other games too / or the free version?
)
Unfortunately since I cannot reproduce this issue myself nor log it's errors I must rely on more information to procced.
It happens mostly after I use the clock, maybe after I answer the phone and immediately use the clock. It freezes and then after a while restarts to the main menu. I have yet to try the free version. I can't really play it properly so tried to use cheats and the TV's remain static sometimes trying to load a recording
When loading a recording, try to swap cameras, a recording will set a scene in a certain room, but not neccessarily the room you're watching now, so it might seem like its not working but it does.
Hey hero, how is your progress, any news about the new game?
Hey bud, this will take time, unfortunately, I assume more than it took to make older games due to life.
is there any sex animation in the free version or you have to buy the game to see sex scenes?
There are some, mostly but not the "final / hardcore" part if you know what I mean.
but i have unlocked some path that supposedly show some sex scenes , but the only thing that the characters do is speak each other in the bathroom , or speak in the dining room , so i dont know how to see does sex scenes that are shown in this page
1. Have you noticed the "Watch Further" button? Each screen has three "yellow dots" (". . .") next to it when a scene can be "Watched further", and pressing on that or using the hotkey (see "How to play notebook" in the game) will progress the scene further.
2. If you do know about the watch further, then have you made sure you unlocked the "spicey scenes" in the progression as well as waited for them to appear where they should? (Again, use the ". . ." as an indication that this scene you are watching has more to it)
Let me know if this didnt help.
I apologize for the message, but does the father actually do anything? Like with his daughter or is it just cuckolding?
Almost all combinations are possible
Greetings.
I cant help but wonder. How to use the cheats to unlock galery? I see lots of tapes, but they dont work.. (I know cheating is bad. But. What can I say.)
First of all, just a heads up, one of the tape is missing (Sandra / Sasha), just a heads-up.
Second of all, some tapes are "triggering" events in rooms and some take over the main screen, so if you insert a tape and see that nothing happen, switch between the rooms (yes, I also need to auto-switch on that one as well hehe) until you see the footage being played.
Apologies.
Got it. Thanks!
Keep up the good work. These kind of games are amazing, and a refreshing change of pace :)
A Recommendation for next game: It would be nice to have two sets of arrows to change cameras: One for changing rooms, and the other for changing angles within the same room. That way you could cycle through the rooms to see if anything interesting is happening without having to cycle through all the angles.
Thanks, I'll take that into consideration for the next game!
When will the game be on discount, for example the first CCTV game had a discount and cost 9 dollars, will this game also have a discount, if so when?
I like your games and I would like to buy this one too but at a discount :> .
Thank you for wanting to buy the game! Usually when itch.io has store-wide sales. (Winter sale, etc...)
Oh,thanks for telling me, it's taking too long so I'll just buy the game now.
You make some brilliant games and I really can't wait for you to release the next CCTV game.
Thank you! 😁👍
That means a lot! Hope you'll find it better if not as good as the previous one at least in some aspects!
i am not writing much but sended you my ideas hope you like them or can use it in a new game :). But i for me i liked this game more then the first one but well everyone has its own likes and dislikes :)
Thank you 🙏 I'll check it out
thank you and ther is so manny good ideas you could make few game of it so the people here are amazing with ideas. Cant wait to see them all.
What I felt was missing in this entry after replaying CCTV 1 again is the interaction between the dad and his family, it felt like I was there, everything felt more important and intense, thats the huge difference for me.
Since I am the developer I often miss those types of experiences since I get "spoiled" on knowing everything from the start. So I didn't know it felt that way 🤔 in any case, feel fry to vote on this exact poll option in the following poll: https://forms.gle/yZeFQcjZLcusv2AYA
So I’m noticing a lot of bash towards your direction of switching to a “third-person omnipotent” style of playing, but I digress and defend this by stating that you still have to work for the content as you did in CCTV, and that’s even if you bought this version instead of the free version and didn’t resort to cheats to see more scenes.
Another thing I will add is that I particularly enjoyed the use of choice-based content that would modify the scenes as needed, and the fact that there were more characters to deal with instead of a couple or so. On top of that, I also enjoyed that your decisions to influence each character aren’t COMPLETELY cutting out content from others; you could focus solely on Sasha with Anatasia and not have to worry about Igor for example. The one thing I will criticize on this is that there wasn’t enough variety with each path for all the characters. It would’ve been nice to see Sasha also be a second husband to Sandra as well instead of just simply being a babysitter for Sasha who would have intercourse with them.
For the next (and last game as you’ve said in previous comments), here are some things I would suggest for it:
Apologies if these sound a little demanding, no intention of that. Just wanted to give you my honest suggestions for the last game. Other than that, I give this game a 9.3/10!
Thank you! This is some great thorough feedback and brilliant ideas, every "Story Item" having a con alongside it's pro would truly make a better game-design choice.
My problem with the existing story items system is that its a little too complex and unintuitive to less hardcore players (For example, civilization's tech tree has a more intuitive structure for new players)
I'll try to, there are some conflicting things, for example, more characters means less focus on each character, if there's a set amount of resources to spend, time-wisely, it's either spent spread among many characters, or towards the depth of each character, not sure which is the better option tho, will have to think about it.
Thanks again for the great comment, I enjoyed reading it!
Of course, anytime! I just really seemed to enjoy this game compared to its predecessor, which is why I went out of my way to defend the mechanics of it, since I mainly like to play games like these anyways.
I also submitted my votes on what to wish list for the final game, and I hope you make the best of each of our opinions, but at the end of it all, it's you who decides what happens with the last game.
Cheers to you my friend!

If you implement an arrest system in the next CCTV game you will have my eternal gratitude!
Interesting 🤔Can you elaborate? What will happen if you arrest a character?
I was thinking that character would be sent to some form of re-education/reform facility where he or she, for this idea I have only the women in mind, will undergo a psychic reconstruction, the character will lose all points and new traits and paths could be unlocked. The women could also undergo some form of sexual punishment in there that you can view with the camera. When you disable the arrest feature the character returns home and could have new traits an a new path, something like Re-volt->Exhibitionism->Prostitution or as an alternaive Informat-Spy. In both alternative the characters could have sex in alleys or secret apartment with clients/other spies. I think you have an idea by now to what i have in mind:) Also the arrest could lead to a scene where a couple, I was thinking mother and son for starters is surprised and interrupted during sex by the arrest. Anyway, just a thought I hope it inspires you!
The interruption scene sounds fun, the abuse tho is a little too much hehe
I subscribe to what you proposed. I was expecting to have the choice to make an arrest in this version too and was imagining something like the captured scenario from Atomic Quest and was a little disappointed I couldn't. Also I would have been an awesome alternative scene to see, let's say the mother and son getting surprised by the troups during sex. This could have unlocked a new path and traits. I hope the next game takes place in the same dystopian setting and will have this option. I also like your other ideas, great minds think alike it seems:) I will be happy if at least some of them are implemented! But all of them in a CCTV game by retsy will surely take things to the next level! Looking forward to the next CCTV!
buenas gran juego , espero puedas lanzar muchos mas y una tercera parte cctv .
Thank you kindly!
Gracias amblemente!
completr 23/26 what the act of treachery ?
Someone cheating on someone else
Hey I would like to know how can I remove the story bubbles on android??
The latest update allows you to by clicking on them.
Is there any media we can follow you on? I love your content btw, always a banger after another.
Thank you!! Glad to know you like the games! Not much, only blog posts here, emails that I send to buyers and comments / discussions on the games. I rather just spend more time on the games rather than community moderation / social media / what not
Blog posts are really hard to find on itch.io imo. I could find the older blog post before cctv2 came out last week, but now its way harder to find since your "comment feed" on your profile no longer has it there, and google pulls mainly from that section for its links (google blog/blogpost retsymthenam to see what i mean).
If you put out the new blog post could you post it in the comments as a announcement again, like you did for when CCTV2 was released on all game comments? Think this will help with finding it. I can however see you not liking that due to spamming your comments, but i honestly dunno how to properly keep up else wise without checking your profile everyday
Alright, I'll spam the comments then, no worries XD
I get that, the games are banging so keep doing you and ill always be supporting. Something about these games just always keep me coming back. Do you plan on making more content with the bodyguard? Her character model is IT. I know this might be a little bit too early to ask but any new game ideas currently in the making? I'd love to look forward to something but no rush.
The next one is the final entry in the CCTV series, mixing the best out of the last two, and then, I have a list, maybe another RPG, or a point & click adventure..
Thank you for the game! Great work!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
comlete 15/26 where are igor & sandra being in the same room? I cant find they
They should appear all over the Ivanova (neighbors) apartment, and their "Spicy scene" is in the kitchen.
incredible good game
Thank you kindly!
Bought it to support the dev, as family taboo especially mom and son is one of my favs but I have to agree that the 1st one was better.
Don't get me wrong, I liked this one but having a "godlike" figure control everything was a downgrade, it basically lacked the personal touch of the 1st one. (maybe having Igor be the spy and slowly corrupting his family and neighbours would have been better).
The controls were worse, especially the "spicy" scenes, it was clunkier and having to find the exact pixel to progress would detract from the scenes. (maybe having it also be a keyboard shortcut would help here).
Lastly I felt like it was missed opportunity to not have the family all participate in a scene or two considering Igor can have those tendencies.
Hope I didn't come off as too aggressive with the feedback here since I still really enjoyed it and loved the first game. Both are unique and I appreciate your creativity.
Good luck fun in your future projects and hope to see even more family fun! :D
Thank you! Nice feedback, I tried to make this one's controls / theme / story / cast / etc... as different and distinct as I can while maintaining the CCTV aspect, well, with it's pros and cons. Hopefully I'll pick and mix the best mechanics between the two for the final entry of the series.
The cast is great and I loved that you could catch them doing more mundane things as opposed to the first one.
In the first one iirc for the most part chars only appear in spicy events outside a few cases (kids studying or playing games).
Anyway, keep up the great work bro, you always kill it.
Any ideas on your next project?
Thank you !!!! That's awesome to know, especially since lots said the first one had better features, etc...
The next project should be the final entry in the CCTV series (originally thought of 3 different games), in which I'll pick and mix the best features out of the two.
Think that the biggest take away for me comparing the first to the second, is that the second had way more build up in its scenes/content! With the bullying line the build up was really nice, you have 3 or 4 events before the big scene, which makes it feel very fleshed out.
The mechanics of the first one were a bit easier to work with and it was more straight forward i think that's what people liked more about that one, but i really liked the point system and the UI of the 5 monitors, think it was a very fresh take on this. If you could "lock" the screen on the monitor you are actively watching that would've helped a lot i think with what most people feel as "clunky".
I like both games for the difference they bring, in terms of setting (family dad spying vs spy looking into lives of his neighbors) and in terms of mechanics ( first CCTV having a more easy to work with environment vs the more complex/things to do in the second CCTV)
I think if CCTV 3 has more of a personal angle again like CCTV1 (either playing as the father/son/mother) with the fleshed out scene buildup from CCTV2 worked into it, adding a combination of mechanics from 1 and 2, you have the best of both worlds.
Thanks! noted, that's what I'll try to do
