Unity - Completed - Arrival of the Goddess [v1.05] [NTRMAN]

Feels like a tech demo with a lot of missed opportunities.

It does have enough content, but that's where the frustration that many people have expressed stems from—it's just barely enough. A game of this high quality leaves you wanting more, and the dilemma between quality and quantity arises, leaving the player to choose if it's worth spending time on a short but sweet project.

The animation and art, as per usual, are outstanding—THE thing that keeps me waiting for new releases. Additionally, it has really good voice acting, adding another layer that separates this game from the rest. Story-wise, I wasn't expecting an exegesis on the intersection of anthropological paradigms and psychological intricacies; it's just an NTR game and did what it had to. The developer has been known to streamline and accelerate the process of corruption (even in Season of Loss, it's like a switch has been flipped), and this game is no exception. A lot of people seem mad at this fact, but I don't mind a faster-paced game.

There's a lot of wasted potential between all of the characters that were presented—few scenes here and there, with almost the same context for each, making no major difference between one character and another, especially the endings, of which there are just two (in only one of them do you have to play the game) when there could have easily been at least five.

On the gameplay side, it's good enough. The minigames are enjoyable, although traversing the overworld feels really slow even while sprinting. I didn't see the need to make this release on this engine specifically other than to debut the engine. The linearity of the game would've been excused if it were in a visual novel format, but now it just feels pointless to play and experience it other than that one ending.

This release, instead of being a step backwards or forwards, feels more like a step to the side. The developer hasn't changed their formula since Adelaide Inn, a game that has been heralded as their best work (even though it also offers vanilla and netori paths, a common complaint in their newer titles).

The last great improvement that the developer had was in Tenants of the Dead, with the addition of a lot of new variety but in a very surface-level way (just a few scenes per character). In this game, there's less variety and in the same surface-level manner. Going forward, I'd hope that the developer regresses back to that TOTD mindset but in a deeper level with more scenes.

In conclusion, Awakening of the Goddess feels like it would have been a breakthrough project if it were made by a smaller developer. It is a great game overall—don't get me wrong—great animations, voice acting, and art, but it just leaves you wanting more and not in a good way. Overall, I enjoyed this tech demo and eagerly await a new release.

TL;DR: If you enjoyed Tenants of the Dead, you'll enjoy this as well. If not, then you won't.

Quick game with hot girls. Story is simple but I never really needed it for immersion so it worked out fine for me.

You can choose to keep it vanilla or get NTR'd. You can also NTR/cheat on your wife if you wish, though there may be consequences down the road.

I enjoy the adittion of making the protagonist have some action and not just staring with dick in hand. I do hope he begins adding the ability to cuck your enemies, the way the protagonist gets cucked. With POV of the rival and everything.

The game has the same vibe and feeling of his last few games, it feels, rushed in a way. The story has some nonsensical choices and lacks the fundation of a strong character backstory, why should I care Claire cheats on her husband, why does it matter. It could be two strangers, two people who just met and it would not change a thing.

Gameplay wise, I hate it. I came here to beat off, not to play porn Diablo 1. I know it adds depth to the game, but I came here to jack off. There is a reason people do not use RPGMK like they used to. Visual novels get the job done, KUM&GO. Keep it simple.

Art wise, its gotten better. Feet look a lot better than they used to, theyre not just fat lumps with tiny protusions anymore, hope they get better. Thickness galore, not complaining. But it needs more body shapes.

VA, please, please for the love of God. Keep japanese at the default voice acting, I cannot stand that cutesy, OMGFZ I LOVE ANIMEZ english voice acting. I do not know if its jsut me but the japanese voice acting is not working, its just english. I do not care if its only me, Japanese has to be the only voice acting the game needs.

I think the game is great, but it would be better if it had scenes where Claire has secret or implied sex scenes with the tribesman, even if you win the minigames.
Btw the art is good, the story is ok and i'm really looking forward to the next game

I really like NTRMAN's work...This is unfortunately not one of them. I had high hopes for this one, which is my mistake. The whole buildup is a joke. Writing is meh. No suspense in storytelling.

The game part it self has a lot of potential, so from a first try with this style is passed...but next game hopefully would have a lot more real gameplay instead of just running really slowly.

Also the minigames...omfg I played on normal difficulty. I was only able to beat the boat guy....the 2 others....forget about it. Especially the fish catching...is that even possible to win?

Main points from my review:

More buildup needed.
More interactive gameplay, with meaning.
Better mechanics for minigames

I have to say, after being a long-term fan of NTRMAN, I'm disappointed.
Although I love NTRMAN games, I have a few minor issues, that I just can't get over compared to how much better the previous few games were.
First is definitely how linear the game is, there are no choices anymore, no player agency, you have to do these 3 events, each 3 times, for the main heroine and your only choice in that is to either win or lose, compared to Adelaide or TOTD, where you were presented with many ways to play, or rather many routes.
My second issue is how much has the NTR itself fallen. Now, there is almost same amount of non NTR scenes as NTR scenes, by itself I don't mind non NTR scenes in NTR game, but it should be minority, not 50/50. With how long the development took, I was just hoping for more.. diversity? There is no mystery, no exploration beyond collecting outfits, which the game could have been without and it would not make a difference. It's just.. too basic, compared to other games on the market in this genre.
The overall quality of h-scenes is high, but they all feel the same, there is no corruption or fall. You lose a minigame, you get a h-scene following the usual template of starting with handjob/blowjob, ending with penetration, all in 3 stages for each antagonist.
The animations are made nicely, as in all recent NTRMAN games, but that seems to be the baseline, and NTRMAN certainly hasn't improved upon anything in this game.

Overall, this game feels like a test-run of a different game engine at best. Nothing new, very rudimentary gameplay, no exploration to speak of, all scenes feel same, basic, simplistic (at least to his other games where there is just so much more variety). NTR games always have so many ways to be expanded upon, whenever mystery, exploration, player agency, management and control, h-status, events and so on, yet all we get is a simple and direct VN, there wasn't any need to switch to different style/platform if it was just to waste it like this.

Excellent NTR game, even has a normal path for those vanilla lovers. Must have for NTR lovers though. Wife model is great atleast for those who love MILFS like me. Husband not a complete loser and actually capable of standing up for himself is a plus.

Another excellent game by NTRMAN, the setup is simple, the amount of scenes are amazing, and of course the CGs themselves are extremely well drawn out and with the added VA, it just enhances the experience. A ton more vanilla stuff this time around so now it's good for non-NTR fans as well.

Art/Animation 5/5: The sex scenes and animations have very high quality.
Story 3/5: The story is very straight forward and pretty short. Lose challenges to get NTR scenes, win challenges to get a chance to bang the tribe women. I would rather have shorter sex scenes and more of them in a richer story. I also think a game like this should have more than just 2 endings.
Gameplay 3/5: There are quite a few bugs present in the game, so this is getting 3/5 for now. I'm sure they will be ironed out in time.

Unfortunately, this is yet another example of NTRMAN using his talent and just kinda regurgitating the same idea with a new coat of paint.

As is the formula, the initial premise attempts to offer some genuine characterization to the characters, but unfortunately it falls limp and falls into cliches you can see a mile away. There isn't any real level of depth or nuance present, these are just vessels for cuckoldry.

Visually it's good, it's the expected level, but the sex scenes are just still very stilted and boring. I think there's an issue when there's no real distinction between projects, because at that point it isn't that it's a 'signature style', it's just repetitive.

This is one of the best works NTRMAN has done.

From the art style, character design, and voice acting. The animations are also done phenomenally, with each scene using interesting camera angles that draw you in and make it much more sexy.

It's also one of the few VN that does English voice acting really well.

This is NTR man and pile of shit nothing more its like this few games same shit over over over again girl turning into sluts whores no reason its started with that retard seasons game where mother betrays son for bully then even does some drugs says she love bully too much and yet we are here after some games its same shits maybe well i dont think this is %100 NTRman fault NTR dead thanks to all over world artist and hentai game makers using that without giving time to rest sadly this happens.

What good ? Art-Voice-Scenes its hot and good.

What bad ? All characters pretty much BBC nothing more classic NTR story you cucked by jamal and tyrone nothing new and gameplay yeah gameplay boring and Mc and Fmc omg two retards coming this place like one guy tried bring religion to tribes forcing on idea to tribe this retards suffer here FMC is omg slut whore nothing more she suck without thinking like maybe this people have std or worse man anohter fucking slut in NTR nothing more.

I am not gonna blame NTR here i played 100 NTR games in this site hardly 5 or less is good not gonna lie so this genre stupd and sucks if you cant handle it well so pretty much FAP FOR GAME and if you wanna support man support it this is not worse its still better than SEASONS game of NTRMAN so i give 4 for art and sex scenes nothing more otherwise its hardly 3 star.

Gameplay: 10/10
NTRMAN has come a long way since Rural Homecoming 1. The gameplay is smooth and the mini games are fun. I will say as of the writing of this its buggy but NTRMAN is working on a patch that will probably be made available within the coming weeks. The scenes fixed the biggest gripe with TOTD being the camera angles., so the scenes are already much better.

NTR/Story: 6.5/10
It really sucks how bad the pacing for the NTR has become recently. Idk if its cuz of new writers or if development side is is taking all of his time. With Ade Inn and Mitsuko, both games knew how to slowly corrupt the FMC in a more natural way. Now it just jumps right into it. A lot of people have given this feedback and I hope he or his writers take it into account.

The game has some bugs, but in general it is very good, good animations and graphics, good interface, you have quite a few languages, I really like the extras and gallery system, it would be great if it were implemented in all the games that come out in the future. 5/5

The gameplay was alot of fun but the sex scenes are boring in my opinion, the art is amazing as usual but the scenes themselves have next to no buildup and are insanely quick to be over so I didnt really feel anything.

I don't really like to make reviews, but after seeing some other people's opinions, I want to express my own.
I guess most people that consume the games from NTRMAN are obviously people who constantly consume ntr and are fond of it, but as someone who isn't AT ALL into the genre and really loves the creator's art style, but doesn't really consume it for obvious reasons, I got really satisfied with what was given!

Instead of going with the usual visual novel trope, the creator sticked with some top-down perspective that particularly got my attention, although the game felt quite slow and boring sometimes when I had to wait for the change of sections in the map. The mini games intrigued me as they are somewhat fun and simple (there's no way you can beat two of them before going in the vanilla mode). I like the features presented, but the game missed more things to do in the village, it felt just too blank and quick.

The story doesn't really try to be complex and I think it's great at what the vanilla and the mostly vanilla side of the game did, (it doesn't go deep in the whole traumatized mc thing though, for the ntr lovers) and for me particularly, the art and h scenes compensate any other mistakes the game has! I'm glad he did 50/50 and I finally got to enjoy something of his.

Before diving in, I'll point out for those wondering that this game has Netori and Netorase elements. However, it's not the kind of Netorase where the MC encourages his wife to start sleeping around so he can get off on it. There are also some routes for the MC and a route where the MC wins. My review will focus primarily on the NTR aspects.

I think it could have had some really good "hidden NTR" scenes. For example, the MC goes to sleep and wakes up to noises coming from his wife's hut. He goes over to investigate and sees what looks like his wife and one of the tribesmen going at it. Or perhaps the MC needs to go searching for what they're there for during the day, leaving his wife alone, maybe even at the chieftain's request. This would slowly build up the MC's anxiety and the FMC's corruption. However, this game gets right to it with the trials, which is probably for the best since it's not a slowburn. If the MC loses a trial, he has to sit there and watch his wife do whatever the tribesman wants. The more you lose the trials, the more the FMC will resent the husband for his shortcomings and start to enjoy the scenes with the tribesmen. This route ends in heavy corruption and NTR.

I have two main criticisms of NTRMAN's games. First, the recent games seem to sacrifice good story for better but fewer animations with very little buildup. The second is more of a nitpick: the characters all suffer from same face syndrome and lack variety. Personally, his style is not my favorite, but I don't dislike it either. Depending on your preference, this could be seen as a negative, neutral, or positive thing. For me, it's more neutral.

This game does have those problems, but the FMC in this one is one of my favorites so far from NTRMAN's games. I just like the nerdy science girl look. The plot also works better here because it's simple. The FMC gets corrupted more as you lose the trials. It happens quickly, but it feels pretty natural given their circumstances. It's a simple story about a couple getting themselves stuck in this situation, and for what it is, it works. The animations are very hot and well done, but short and with little buildup.

All around, it's a good game but not great. NTRMAN seems to have shifted focus from the elements that gave his older games, like Adelaide Inn, their charm. While the animation, voice acting, and interface are all undeniably great and have seen improvements, his games are starting to feel hollow. They lack the charm that made his previous works special. If only we could get a game like Adelaide Inn with these improvements. I would recommend this to NTR enjoyers who are looking for a quick fap. It will get the job done.

A solid release from NTRMAN. I think if you are into Netorase you will love this and rate it very highly. It's just not the NTR I personally enjoy. NTR haters will prob like this one aswell, so long as they play on EZ mode and win the minigames. At that point its just MC getting lain with all the girl's vanilla.

Art is phenomenal as always for this dev. The biggest sell for NTRMAN is the art and animation, which not even big company do aswell.

As for the NTR, its Netorase, which technically turns into Netorare. But the Netorare is pretty poor, especially since the girl ends up just fucking everybody. You can argue that Its also Netori with the MC, but non of the buildup is really there to establish anything more then Netorase really.

Gameplay wise, its mea. I would have liked the movement speed a little faster, and the minigames suck balls. If you beat them the first time, then you can auto win or lose going forward. The fish catching in particular is dog ass. Im really not looking for that kind of time waisting gameplay in my Porn games. The save system is bad too, as you can only save at the house and not before choices.

Its pretty much a visual novel, but you move around like it wants to pretend to be a mystery NTR game. The setting and game style would have worked much better as a mystery NTR where you can walk around and stumble into scenes. But it plays like a Visual Novel with extra steps.

Overall, a solid game but not really for me.

I was hoping for mystery ntr, as the setting kinda felt right for it. However this is mostly netorase or netori, depending on how you perform.

The art is still really good, I just hoped for something better for the story. The open movement in the village felt squandered. You just went from A to B to talk to a character. Might as well have not bothered.

Biggest gripe is the performance. The game is just full of bugs. Audio kept switching from english to japanese or vice versa. I would have 1 character speaking english, conversing with another character speaking japanese.

Outfits did not change properly. I had characters making comments about others changing their outfit... but it stayed the same.
