Housewife
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Housewife
Housewife is a visual novel / management-simulation adult game about Anna, a female protagonist, and her life of chores and boredom!
Help Anna fight the house chores, her inner-self, and the other problems that haunt her and her family members! Help her (or force her) to change her mind about different subjects and develop as a human, alongside maintaining and progressing different relationships. This is a short game that forks into multiple paths, you are not expected to experience it fully by the end of the game, but only the path that you have chosen to take in this specific, life-changing, month.
It's a short and light-hearted game, with a lot of sexual content, and hopefully, long & worthwhile build-ups.
Noteworthy Points
- The game contains a total of 153 animations
- 25 of which are soft-core adult-animations
- 76 of which are hard-core adult-animations
- The game features multiple endings which depend on what the player sets its focus on.
- It features a diner-shift mechanic, a stimulation-thought management mechanic, and a house-chore mechanic, alongside perk collection.

Or does anyone have them, could you please send them to me, good day everyone and I would be very grateful if you help me :)
i will replay the game multiple times and when im down i can send you the save files for multiple endings or scenes or routes, i think i know how to do the hidden blowjob scene because i did it one time
i'm sorry for the inconvenience, thank you very much for the help and your time, when you can do it i would greatly appreciate it if you contact me, thank you very much bro
@retsymthenam If you could remake the game Lone Mother by mysterfulgames. 80% of the game hasn't been completed and the developer mysterfulgames decided to quit creating games, however the idea of the game was very interesting if you would like to remake it. It’s about a mother called Rachel, living in a city under siege, in a semi-apocalyptic universe.The country is in war, her husband left home to fight for the country and never came back.Now she has to take care of her son, Michael, and her daughter Lauren and live trough this apocalypse.
Man you are lucky, I'm 70 % sure he is the same guy that made those games
What happened to the trailers of the games
The second of the game should come
Does anyone know if something should happen in the shower or sauna in vacantion? She allways gets mad
what is the name of the new game, dev? Eager to know.
how do i save?
Bottom right corner
how to Meet the guy in park?
1. Introduce yourself to the guy in the kitchen at the diner.
2. Jog at night
Can someone tell me how can I get «naughty»???
Hello friend, I will help. The fist day you must stay in the sofa four times, and take a shower and then you can go out at the end of the day if there is time. The give cultural eyes to numbnees y fun and aceptance to serious woman, the you obtain fun person, obtain from the husband 20 dollar the next day and go to buy the second book, and read to get fantasy and other, upgrade fun person to naughty.
Thank you very much, my friend. Can you also help me with all that “sexual thoughts”? Like “sexual depravity” “sexual divorced” and also how can I get that “cute butt” thing ??
shot to your kids to gain anger and frustration and give these points to happy marriage.
Whe you buy the second book you will have subliminal erotica I don't remember exACTLY IN WICH USE BUT NEVER USE CULTURE EYES AGAIN, don't use productiveness. The third book gives you another thought for subliminal erotica so level up that
Hello bro, a question, do you know how I can see the housewife scenes or where to find them because without the save button it is very complicated, I would really appreciate it if you can help me, I'm dying to see the scenes, have a good day
The job mini game just makes no sense to me. I click the task then a station yet orders just pile up way faster than than the wife can complete. I have yet to have one single successful shift. What am I doing wrong?
It is difficult. Your goal is to pre-maturely know which task goes where ( so no time will be wasted), then, take tasks as fast as you can and complete them with the according device > (Coffe > barista machine, beer > beer tap, and so on...) You don't have to be super good, just good enough to survive the shift. By the way, not surviving the shift has it's own path
Thank you, I suppose I just suck at the mini game lol
What a beautifull game, it's almost perfect. I love almost everything, I will put 10 of ten on every thing in the game, except sound a 6 and history 7. I wanted more of Tom and Anna. I imagined somme ideas of them: Keep that way bro, never gve up you are doing great games
Hi there I've bought pretty much most of your games and I'm a massive fan,
I've always wandered for this game however if it was possible to get scenes with the daughter as well? It looks like a choice when you go camping but I've never been able to go past that point.
Yeah its slightly complicated but I think one of the comments has the answer in it
Anyone have an walkthrough for this game because I'm lost every time I got game over
Make sure you do the chores (you have a list of chores that progress each day)
It's in progress, can't say when tho'...
Let s fucking goooooo baby
hey buddy, speaking of this if you would like help writing on this I have a lot of experience there and I am willing to help you out for free. Feel free to respond to this/dm me and we can talk. I like your games and I'm willing to work for free if it'll assist.
Also i loved that its was grindy not straight to scenes ,you need to play a little and have to think of action so you could get scenes or you could fail or get something else ,and you can play its multiple time because of diffrent endings, also the chores were good for think what you should ,and the animations are great,especialy when sometimes he cant properly penetrate i fucking loved you putted a lot of hard work and love in this game also in the other one
Hello bro, a question, do you know how I can see the housewife scenes or where to find them because without the save button it is very complicated, I would really appreciate it if you can help me, I'm dying to see the scenes, have a good day
You can play the game normaly till the 10 or 11 day then you open the game with notepad and change the day from 10 or 11 to like 2 or 3 then you do that till you have all the skills upgraded and with this you can get new perks and diffrent paths or endings, really makes the game easier
Man fucking thank you, the games is amazing, i loved every single thing, you are amazing and talented ,i gonna try your other games, for 10$ its fucking amazing, highly recomend the game , hope to see more games from you hoppefully like this one maybe a continuation or something, fucking loved it
what was updated in this game? I see it was updated in some way a few days ago but there is no dev log for it. Just checking to see if I need to do a new playthrough of this game haha
No update, ignore that.
Is there a lesbian path to this or is it all male interactions?
Unfortunately no, only male interactions /= What would you like to see? Let me know for future games!
bro i have $$$ saved for your next game,please release it soon!! :)
Working on it every day!!!
Well something like where the FMC is in a one-sided marriage and after leaving him, she discovers the "lesbian" side of life with either family, friends, or just new people. No NTR, Dom/sub, or male interactions involved. Sounds kind of lame I guess. Maybe why it's hard to find something like that out there. It's usually bombed with Femdom, males, sandbox type of stuff....yeah I understand some people are into that but some are not. When I see these things I usually just take a pass and move on to the next title. Anyways, thank you for your reply and I hope this game is highly successful.
Hey! It's not lame if it's what you like!
Tell you what, it is kinda nieche...
These projects are passion projects so I would most likely not add things I myself am not super excieted to see, but if you see that nobody does that right and there MUST be other people that see things as you do out there, go and make it
Just purchased the game but I'm confused on how to get thoughts. For example, Im not too sure how to unlock the thought "cute bottom" for Tom. Any help would be really appreciated.
Try to visit the shower while it's occupied...
Housewife:
This is to get people a strong first 5 day start walkthrough.
1st day: Go for a run; sit on couch (repeat till evening.), kitchen meditation, take shower.
Put aa follows at end of day in this order; all acceptance in serious woman, minds eye in sex numbness, fun in serious woman till upgrade the remainder in do what you are told. (This should give you two evolved bubbles and a start on the last red one.)
Day 2: get money from husband when you wake up, pee, go bookstore get second book "steamy beauty", read till late afternoon, show son affection, sit with kids.
Put stats as follows: Mindseye goes to fun person, fantasy goes to do what you're yold, oxy to son, erotica to sex frustration.
Day 3: Husband money, (chores have been same for me but from here might want to double check.) Laundry, read book till evening, cook, then shower.
Stats: fantasy into do as your told till change, the into fun person, frustration into marriage, mindseye into moral standards, erotica into sex frustration the desperate, productive and acceptance into desperate, fantacy into fun person.
Day 4: husbands wallet again (unless you have $100 in your account you can keep doing this. Certain senerios require more which requires working.), use toilet, read till evening, sit with kids
Stats: fantacy into fun person till become naughty, mindseye into naughty, fantasy into moral, frustration into marriage, erotica into desperate, ond oxy into son
Day 5: husbands wallet, clean toilet, read till evening, sit with kids once then shower.
Stats: Frustration into marriage, fantasy into matal standards mindseye into naughty, acceptance and productive into desperate, mindseye into naughty, oxy son.
That should give a strong start.
Ive unlocked the son and immagrant. Still figuring out daughter. Ive only gotten kids badmouthing so far. Dont know how to get daughter.
i could really use a walk-through to see good content in this game
Have a problem since downloading.
I can see idle animations on OSX version, but cannot save or load, only play from start. Playing on Vindows VM (Parallels), I can save/load, but idle animations are blank w/ white square. Please help.
Never seen such an issue before that's odd. can you provide a screenshot of the white square?
Maybe you need to provide the VM with more resources?
Maybe this is a resolution issue (screen size issue)
Maybe play the game on an Android phone? Android VM or Linux VM?
Unfortunately I hadn't put the effort to optimize the games, added the option to play windowed etc... would much rather just put more content.
See attached first screen after "Skip Intro" in HouseWife.
The game will show the normal/static shots of narration/speech, or certain interactive elements (like Restaurant Shift game, but doesn't show the Task Progress Bar, and never gets ride of tutorial under-lay graphic)
I've tried a few other games (demos) and I see similar problem is failing to display idle or "core" animations.
I've maxed out RAM and Video spec for the Parallel's VM, so I don't think it's starved. I've even tried switching Windows' Display Resolution to things other than 1920x1080 (recommended), and it doesn't work.
Even trying to play them "broken," I can appreciate your demos show a distinct approach to story telling and game-mechanics. I'd like to support your work further, but I cannot presently play it to do so.
Please advise.
Theres an issue with playing the videos I assume, usually has to do with either the operating system or the graphics card (video card). Not sure and can't really help you there, feel free to refund the products with Itch.io.
Appreciate it.
Since I paid for the game, I tried the .APK for Android, and got that to work. After practicing on the "censored" broken version, I was able to enjoy playing w/ seeing animations, albeit on small(est) screen.
I want you to keep the pay to encourage you to keep developing new games and supporting existing ones.
If you cannot fix the Save functionality for OSX for this game, please make sure it works for subsequent games.
Keep innovating !
Thanks!
Great game. Super job you did. But if i were you i will keep updating it for better plot completion.
After completion of the two trips Jaqueline could do some more "se*x" interactions with Tom. For example Anna sends Tom to bathroom for shower. And after that Anna goes to Jaqueline room and sends her to bathroom. Jaqueline finds Tom and do some "naughty" things in the bathtub.
Also I find the need to bring Jaqueline to the holidays if Jaqueline bond with Anna is at level 9 for example and there they can make a "trio" situation.
Or Jaqueline can meet Michael and do something "naughty" with him. Using a a Shara and Anna interaction.
Please consider a game update in the future.
By the way again great plot.
Hope to see more in the future.
Good ideas! Thanks for the kind words
Yes please, Update the game that would be nice. Played your Game an been a Fan since then.
Keep up the good work.

Is there a way to have sex scene with mom in public pool or sex scene while teasing son or to have sex scene while peeking on showering son ? On trailer i swear I saw a bj scene while showering DEVELOPER OR ANYONE COMPLETED THIS GAME ALREADY TELL ME HOW TO DO IT? I mean everytime I go for vacation mc can't have fun with son on shower or sauna
That specific scene is available on Refuge Roadtrip, as for the vacation, you should come to the vacation prepared with the final state in order to unlock everything. If you feel like you don't have the power to replay, you may go to the save file and modify it to have the thoughts required for the scenes that are locked! (C:\Users\%YOUR USER%\AppData\LocalLow\Retsym The Nam\Housewife\Saves)
Show post...
what's the name of that final state in order to proceed further?
It shows you on the tooltip when you can't do a thing or when a condition is presented
Show post...
I found a bug, there is a white square ⬜ appears while showering with son at public pool how to get rid of it ? I have all stats for son but still i can't have BJ scene for son at shower let me know what's wrong ?
Oh damn, that scene is on "Refuge Roadtrip", you gain it from visiting one of the towns and finding a lost phone on the floor...
There must be something wrong with this game if you have to change / cheat with saved files as someone writes here. And it shouldn't be a problem for the game developer to give a few more hints about how you should play, what you should prioritize. Count on the fact that there are perhaps more people who try the game and don't get past 40% and get annoyed and then they don't want to pay for the game. This is probably something the game developer should think about if he wants more paying players.
I appreciate your concern, though I develop this games for myself, mostly. I don't care that some players don't get past it, if any of them do that's enough, and I know, that's just putting some extra work to get more players happy but in that case, I rather make a different game with this extra time that would be more bang-for-the-buck entertainment wisely.
The days before vacation are not enough to achieve the milestones, I'm not well versed with computers so I don't know how to max stats, this was absolutely unplayable for me and discouraged me to buy it ;(
It desperately needs a walkthrough, too see the stuff with the son before the travel...
Indeed they were planned with re-play in mind. But I get the point, maybe a player could make a walkthrough doc that would be a nice service to this game's community
Two hints that allowed me get the scenes that I wanted (mind you I do not aim for 100% scenes during a single playthrough)
- Get to the library and get the stats needed to borrow the lewd books. You can then spend your free time (the time before anyone is home) reading the books in the bedroom. This will get you the stimulations to level up the stats you need for the scenes.
- Be wary of spending money before the vacation starts. You will need around $60-70 to get everything you need to get all the scenes when the vacation starts. I do not remember the exact amount but it around that ballpark.
With these you should have no problem unlocking all the scenes for Tom(?). For the camping trip scenes I remember seeing a walkthrough somewhere here in the comments. I have yet to unlock the cafe-helper scenes but the stimulations from the books should help gain those stats as well.
Hope that help!
Hey pal', you can modify the save file, this will allow you to cheat the game. It is located at:
C:\Users\%YOUR USER%\AppData\Local\Retsym The Nam\Housewife\Saves
You may open the file with Notepad and change whatever you see fit!
If you are looking for games with a dev made walkthrough, try out "Goodtown Mystery" or "Wasteland Bodyguard"
Edited. Thank you for the info. I think it would be a good idea to put this information into the description of the game. Good job with the game.
I can't get that to work. I am putting my username where it says %YOUR USER% but I just get an error message that says that Windows can't find it.
windows+r > "%appdata%" > then go one folder back and continue from there
theres no save folder
All i see is player log
I apologize, "Local", Instead of LocalLow
ty
I don't know how to continue, since I stay on vacation and it ends. How do I continue?
I clarify that I edited the save data so as not to reach the holidays and have more options, but even so, I cannot continue.
Solutions?
If it is Spanish, better
The vacation is the ending, you may not be able to view some scenes if you didn't obtain the required thoughts
Aaaaah because there are options with the daughter who says "she lacks a partner"... Anyway, good game.
Oh no, the daughter scenes are not in the ending vacation, but in the trip. So if you are at the vacation, you'll have to reload / startover...
Ok, but how do I get it?... Since he tells me he has to have a partner, that's what I mean. In one of the dialog options.
What do you mean? Can you capture a screenshot?

How to get 100% result on son's story ? I mean everytime i go to the vacation, when showering with mom she shouts at MC and even while in bedroom there's perk "does not have romantic vibes" how to clear that?
