Hilarious game. As someone with multiple family members who are in to model railroading, this game hits close to home for me! Well done!

this was NOT what i was expecting when i saw the title "A Model Husband" but damn it was actually cool lol, if there was a humour category i'd rate it 5 stars

It's fun. no other words required. I haven't seen Wife Grid before.

Henry you sly dog you

I had a blast playing this game and was laughing a lot.  The humor's incredibly mundane, and it's incredibly funny because of that.  Well done!

Based on the thumbnail and title I expected a visual novel navigating the challenges of marriage or something. It made me laugh when I opened the game and then the response UI showed up.

I would like to shrink Henry down and let him actually drive his model trains around. Maybe there could be a "Shrink Henry" DLC?

First thing, not a game dev!

This is both a great game, and a hilarious concept; he may be a husband who likes model trains, but he's no "model husband." Had this recommended to me by https://itch.io/profile/ruby-makes-bad-games, and it did not disappoint! Can't think of anything more to say about this, outside of "Ima follow ya now."

Intriguing.

I absolutely love this game. Seeing the red dot bouncing around the grid and struggling to get the marker over it is so stressful and so fun at the same time. I want to become an old man and make a model train set now

Weird but funny.

I actually cannot believe how fun this game is. I am in disbelief, shock and awe.

That was random haha!

Love it so much. Quirky and unique. I love that the respond button moves and is far from the sliders. Lining up the dot and then rushing to press the respond button was thrilling. Got 1785 points, and I think I have new favourite game over screen in any game ever.

Also was pretty immersive since I was being called fro stuff irl hehe

I am the very model of a modern major husband, ignoring my wife with causing her exhaustion

When I first booted up A Model Husband, I expected just another run-of-the-mill indie game—maybe some pixel art, a catchy chiptune soundtrack, and a storyline that’s just deep enough to justify my inevitable emotional breakdown at 2 AM. What I did not expect was a game that would single-handedly revolutionize game design, change the course of history, and—dare I say it—get my mom into gaming.

Yes, you read that right. A Model Husband didn’t just raise the bar; it obliterated it with the force of a thousand Smash Bros. tournaments. This game is so good, it could make even the most cynical of gamers shed a tear (or at least question their life choices).

At first I thought the glaze was false, but after clicking the play button I was transported into a world more real than our own. My computer couldnt handle the hyper realistic graphics and my gpu was fried. Even though my gpu is more crispy than a coal, I fell it was worth it. I dread life before Model Husband, and I dread life after model husband. Becasue nothing will ever compare. All I ask is to be taken back into this game.
