It's definitely supposed to be mystery, even says so when you pick the option lol. I picked up on the deal the villain and girl made but because it was so damn obvious. other than that, everything seemed normal besides the ending when his gf looked down. And why the fuck did the bf suddenly wanted to help the guy out and go against his wife? fucking dumbass. It's blackmail and already headed down such a predictable path. i'll just wait 2 years until this game is finished. that first update really turned me off. Also, checkout girlfriend tapes, its MILES better than this shit and "the edge of."
It is supposed to be mystery for the MC not for the reader - the reader is mostly gonna ask himself how is cheating and how far she has fallen rather then if she is cheating. You notice the "tipping" point because you as player know what to look for. This is different then compared to Edge of where MC is going nuts believing she is cheating while the player is like "is she really?".
You must be the type that finds jokes in girlfriend tapes funny. But what kind of mystery you are talking about ? that game (GF tapes) has no mystery it is obvious from the get go she is cheating.
If you want the girl to be slut from the start that is fair but that is different type of NTR. Also you complain about MC getting along with the bully - he doesn't it just he has no choice. Same thing happens it gf tapes ,so wtf?

Also way lower writing quality ..

Got the malware warning from the MEGA x64 link's .exe, ran it anyway like a dumbass, game not launching. So now I'm wondering what exactly launched.
Antivirus probably quarantined the file automatically, as for the alert i have noticed antivirus tend to flag unfinished games as virus especially if they where coded with Python like this appears to be (at least the extension is Py so i assume is python)

There's quite literally a mystery mode for the reader lol. It was still obvious in the edge of but it was kinda well done. It can never be too mysterious, there's always going to be some things that are easy to point out. GF tapes has hot scenes where it doesnt actually show her cheating. I'm saying thge mystery route has no scenes at all. It's an eroge. Not a basic visual novel.

MC in GF tapes does not get along with the bully. He always says he hates him. He does not do his bidding either. Why would MC in this game break into his gf's office for him lmao after the guy. Coulda easily told him to wait. Blackmail is just trash. Nothing interesting can come out of it and it's just forced.

Only good thing about this game is the art

As much as I didn't like your previous game because it was kinda too farfetched for me and characters were unlikeable, you seem to have fixed all of those problems in this game and more. If you keep going with it and build up on that "rule system" it could turn into a real diamond of a game. Keep going dude, loving it so far.
As much as I am against patreon support (it makes many artists lazy instead of motivating them) I'll most likely buy the game on steam when it's finished and released. Big thumbs up.

It was obvious in the Edge of? Oh what made it obvious ?
Actually in GF tapes hints of her cheating are done on purpose, it is the MC that is oblivious.
Edge of MC path got 2 scenes with husband but how you expect to see scenes and keep the mystery ? In GF tapes we only got the unsatisfied sex with MC (that if you are into ntr you probably don't care about) and pictures on phone where the MC is too stupid to tell it's his GF.

Like i have said MC got little choice in both cases. GF tapes - He doesn't get along yet he can't shake him off, goes on trip, to the party and overally just can't stop him. In this game the MC can't make the bully leave either but the fundamental difference in this game bully is playing the MC by pretending to be his friend and aiming for the other girl so the MC has his guard down. The MC just believes him really and is too stupid to realize he is committing crime on his accord.
The blackmail here is really well done, there is nothing forced about it.
AND LIKE I SAID THOSE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF NTR , GF types is NTR C and promise best left unkept is NTR B.

The only review that mentioned this was the negative one so I'll ask here: how is the pacing? I skipped his last game because it was too slow-paced for me and personally I don't want to read 20000 words just to coom.

If you're asking if the action happens fast, the answer is no. Its slow at the beginning (but the payoff is worth it) but once it does happen then scenes do ramp up after!

How much mystery can we expect in that game? Can you play fully in the perspective of a dense unknowing mc without showing the girl's perspective? Do/Will we have hidden sex stuff (phone sex, girl being "late" at a date, disappearing suddenly, bed creaking to make reader suspect something is going on without showing anything and without mc knowing etc etc)
I love mystery games, especially if it's done well with corruption of the girl, but they're so rare in the west...

Game is definetly better than Edge Of, the MC is way more belieavable/likeable. And this one is miles better than Girlfriend Tapes. Well done OP.
I wouldn't say better at least this point that is too early to judge. But most certainly they have different appeal, in Edge of most of the guilt was on MC. He was believable just not really invoking sympathy. In this game some guilt its on MC but most will be on the girl and bully. Some people want to sympathize with MC others with the girl, and some others with bully (hope we can agree that netori is a black sheep among ntr).
That said the rules are fantastic idea and can result in most epic ntr yet. Damn i kinda hope the idea will be picked up by other devs, one game can't possibly realize all the crazy stuff that comes to mind.

Short answer : YES.
You select perspective at the start : only MC or mixed perspective.
By your wording i assume you want the mystery to be from MC perspective rather then reader/player. We have that already and the whole rule idea will surely play into that mystery. There will be multiple endings (6?) and i assume at least one will have MC oblivious till the end.
Consider this a teaser Bully has room next to MC and we have scene where GF stays at MC place and they can hear the love making sounds form the other apartment. MC :"why does he need to listen to porn so loud" GF : " I don't think it's porn". If that is not foreshadowing then i don't know what is...

Kinda, the idea is to have MC's only perspective, and the reader being in that perspective with their own imagination (as a reader/player) filling the gaps.
6 endings looks like a lot though, hopefully the oblivious mc one would be well developed and kept interesting.

honestly this games mc is less mc more side seat bitch to bully. the bully is guy holding both girls and quite honestly the main protagonist with most sex scenes here. its kinda screwed up a "side character" has more going on than main.
