Player Comments of A Housewife’s Healing Touch:

I think the best place to start would be to address the format of this latest offering from Alicesoft. This game is clearly in the vein of their popular wife NTR series which I shouldn't have to mention and it's related titles, but it's actually available as two seperate downloads for each route. Prior to this title, it was possible in at least one other similar game to avoid NTR altogether by making a single choice at the very beginning. None of this is really going to stop anybody frothing at the mouth though and there is some speculation that this was done to somehow increase profit. In any case, nobody should make the mistake of thinking an NTR route was spontaneous decision. This is more or less a spinoff "wife eater" game, but there's some important differences that should be noted.

On it's own merit, this is a beautifully illustrated game. However, it's very difficult not to see it in terms of Alicesoft's work as a whole. Fuurin (the director) is the fucking man, but Homare's (the artist) work is a fundamentally different style to the last game of this type. It's slightly more realistic in linework and proportion, though it's set in a fantasy world. I'm not artist, but I can see less shine and less volume than say, Kuroda Akimi's work. Ass and titties don't pop the same way, it's a more mature, less saturated style. That's not to say the main heroine isn't stacked as hell and she sure looks great, but your mileage (in taste) may vary. I've seen some discussion of the CG's as boring with less variation than prior works, but again, viewed on it's own; it's pretty good (more on that later). Perfectly jerkable. Just don't expect anything much crazier than obscured penis in vagina (for the most part). The VA is top notch but as for commenting on sound effects you could probably slap two herrings together and I wouldn't know the difference.

I bought both versions and they are an ok visual novel. The prologue is in both games so you will have to play it to get 100% image unlock in NTR and Pure love games. If you are on the fence the prologue should give you an idea about the game. No choices are made like in NTR, and no dugeon mini game like in Pure Love. This is basically the Demo of the games. I ain't a fan of visual novels anymore just lack the time to enjoy them.

Final words:

A Housewife's Healing Touch is an erotic visual novel about magic and its harmful use. Rui, a healer, takes a young apprentice under her wing, and the village chief is going to molest her and make her a social plaything. How will the fate of an ordinary housewife turn out?
