Our take on My Lovely Wife
Rather than treating romance as a route toward a happy partnership, the game makes relationships part of a resurrection ritual. Its central structure turns affection into a moral choice, asking whether devotion to one person can justify sacrificing others.
What is My Lovely Wife?
Play as Jake, a grieving widower who receives instructions for restoring his late wife, Luna.
Summon succubi, build relationships with them, and decide whether to sacrifice them in pursuit of a vessel for Luna’s soul. The game combines dating, management, and alchemy simulations within a gothic fantasy setting. The Incubus Update adds incubi as alternative romantic partners. The story places Jake’s devotion to Luna against the lives of the people he uses. Branching outcomes include individual endings for the succubi and main conclusions tied to Jake’s dark desires. Gothic artwork and an eerie soundtrack accompany the narrative.
