  Another adult visual novel with 3D-rendered graphical presentation and branching story plots. Visuals are good, altough very similar to other games of this type. Presentation is mainly static. Gameplay is basically in watching (clicking trough the scenes) or skipping (holding the ctrl-button) the narrated story with some interruptions for making choices (per click on preset answers). Altogether ok and basically entertaining, although without significant differences to other games of this genre. The price is acceptable.

  Get this game! You cannot go wrong with getting this game. For the price of a cup of coffee you get a very nice story, characters that you get to know and actually care about. While the game does not have a ton of xxx scenes, the ones it does have are very well done. The story does not have a lot of choices to make, but the choices do matter, and there are a few different endings to the game. Not a lot of replay value.... but neither does a cup of coffee :)

  This one is one of the best adult visual novels I've played on Steam. Very good visual. The girl is super cute. The story? No spoilers - but it was a good ride. At this price you should just get it now. I have to rate this one 66/6 fists as it left me numb.

  Despite a few minor technical problems, [b]Life with Mary[/b] is a good romantic slice of life sexual adult game. If you are attracted to Mary by her appearance then this game can be a feel good virtual girlfriend sensation. Main topic of the game is age difference from a perspective of two people who falling love each other and up to the player to experience it.

  It's an interesting and believable story. That allows you to be rewarded for being a good guy. The images are of good quality. I have enjoyed all of this visual novel.

  Life With Mary won’t be for everyone but if you have patience there is a great game here. It is a very slow burn and takes a couple hours before things start to pick up. For those who enjoy adult visual novels this may be too long to wait for a pay off but for me it was worth it. Not only were the lewd scenes good when they got there but the story was actually really well done both before and after that. It did a great job setting up a pretty mature take on a relationship and quite frankly what I would call the most wholesome relationship I have seen in the genre. Maybe it’s that I could relate to the main character more than in many other games that helped. He is a shy guy; works with numbers; and lives in a “sterile” place which checks a lot of my boxes not too long ago. Combine that with how Mary was a well rounded character who isn’t perfect but who is one of the most redeemable characters I have seen and you have a pair you can root for. The side characters were well done as well. I liked John; Andy; and especially Simone. I do think some more detail could have been added to the epilogue in a form of years down the road although maybe a sequel can tie up those ends. I would also say that certain characters got surprisingly little time such as Mike and Lady Tatiana. Mike just kind of disappears despite him being Mary’s father and Lady Tatiana had an interesting introduction and then was never seen again. The art was very good in much of the game. The models and objects both had good detail. There are surprisingly little in the way of animations early on although they do start to appear about the midway point of the game and when they do are decent although not the best I have seen. One little minor nitpick I have is the food. It seems like 95% of the time they eat the same pasta or ramen over and over. Not a big deal but I feel for the main character. There is no sound in the game and given the fact that it has been out for almost two years at this point I doubt that they will be added in despite the store page still promising this. I don’t mind the lack of effects but having no music just seems odd at times as most visual novels have some form of music and it can make a scene better. I also don’t understand why question marks were added to random parts of the text. Maybe it was supposed to make the game stand out or unique but it just seemed odd and out of place. I played Life With Mary on Linux. It never crashed. I did notice one animation scene had some flickering but the rest were fine. I also noticed two spelling errors. You can save whenever you want and there are fifty four save slots. Alt-Tab didn’t work. Game Engine: Ren’Py 7.3.2.320 Graphics API: OpenGL Game Version Played: 1.02 Disk Space Used: 1.93 GB GPU Usage: 0-10 % VRAM Usage: 667-956 MB CPU Usage: 1-4 % RAM Usage: 2.8-3.5 GB All of my criticisms of Life With Mary are pretty minor and they don’t detract from it being a fantastic game. The story and characters are top notch and if you can give the game patience the lewd scenes are pretty good as well. It certainly offered me something different than most adult visual novels out there. I finished the game in four hours and forty two minutes and paid $7.56 CAD for it so the value was very good.
