She isn't tsundere or a lesbian.... Okay probably on the second point.
MC mentions in one of his thoughts that before they were a lot closer and she was a lot more affectionate. Most likely she's just a woman who's handling a traumatic discovery in an incredibly unhealthy manner. If she was tsundere then she would've started of cold and eventually warmed up. Here she started off affectionate and then before the game started began acting coldly. If she were a lesbian then she'd probably be more begrudging of the fact that she's married to a man.

I find it interesting though how a bunch of people are looking for reasons that she doesn't love the MC. Dev hasn't made any hint that the wife isn't a LI and she's on the LI stats screen. I'd be very surprised if she didn't have an actual relationship path. She just needs to get out of the funk she's in and stop blaming herself for her own biology.
IMO, it doesn't matter if she was warm in the past. Tons of games have "childhood friends that were really close and happy" turn up tsun when the MC meets them again in a game's current timeframe.

Nothing about her demeanor says tsundere imo.

the game is normal but there is not enough autotranslator to translate into Russian

I know this game has been abandoned for a little while, but I can't get over how absolutely ridiculous the blackmail plot is. It makes less than no sense, they didn't even have an affair. What exactly is it that's being held over them? There's no evidence, and even if there were it wouldn't matter anyway since they were all consenting. There's literally nothing to expose. Does the dev think that Japan is as prudish as Islamic extremists?

Japan's neat in the streets and freaks in the sheets. Despite how fucked up their porn and erotica scene is this absolutely could've impacted the MC's position in his company and even if they kept him it would've impacted his promotion opportunities. Not to say that the blackmail wasn't completely ridiculous, just that specific aspect of it wasn't completely unreasonable.

Not to that degree, especially with no evidence outside of hearsay. Regardless, he certainly wouldn't be completely life ruined by this.

I haven't played this in a long time but as I recall the blackmailer heavily implied he had evidence.
Life completely ruined? Not unless he was in an extremely public position but then that happens somewhat regularly enough in the west too. Life inconvenienced and career not entirely sabotaged but partly sabotaged? Yes. Japan hates scandals and even if it's not your fault being involved in one almost always will impact you. If his company likes him then they'd sweep it under the rug but it'd definitely haunt him at some point.

I'm Returning: Black Rose -A Netori Story- Is To Be Revived
New
42 minutes ago
Preface
This Dev-log is solely dedicated to my Patrons & my Followers.
To explain what happened, and why I've returned.

If you want to see the Dev-Log on the



To My Patrons & My Followers

Long time no see, my fellow Netori enjoyers.

As you may remember, I had to unfortunately cancel the production of Black Rose last year.
Because of medical reasons that were unfortunately out of my control...
I won't go into the details of that, but let's just say 2023 was a grueling year because of this.

However, now that I've finally got this problem under control...
I've returned to make the announcement, of my return to work on this project.

The truth is, even though I said I would stop working on this project.
I just couldn't bring myself to forget about this game.

And so, I found myself writing out the rest of the episodes for a project that had been canceled.
Which in a way, gave me something to focus on whilst I dealt with this medical issue of mine.

As I look around online, I still see the 'Netori' niche still isn't properly being catered to.
It's always...the 'other one' (Cuck simulators); or just plain old Vanilla.
Which hey, if you like either of those; to each their own (not judging).

But in a way, Black Rose was one of the only games that really had the potential to pull Netori off.
So when I canceled Black Rose, it must've been quite a devastating blow for a lot of you.
To have that one Netori game, that you had put your hopes in, be put to rest so early.

I saw all of you showing your support for the project, just from it's first release...

Angered by this injustice, I knew I had to focus on my recovery.
To fulfill my purpose.

So you know what?
Not only am I making my return, I'm going all in to claim the title of being The Netori King around here.

Because...

All of you deserve to have your Netori preference catered to, just as much as the other guys.
Because who the hell doesn't want to experience the thrill of taking another man's wife?

She wants it as well...
Wrong as it is, it just feels so right (you know what I mean).
Now just how do I intend to claim such a title...

The Plan

First, as an atonement to my Patrons that had been financially backing me on my Patreon, right before I had made the decision to pull the plug.
I want to offer to all of my previous Patrons, free early access to the 0.3 & 0.4 builds.
As I believe you are owed that much for supporting me, before I had to disappear.

I know it won't make up for the lost time, but I hope it will be enough to rebuild the trust.
And if you ever feel ready again, it would be great to have you return as my backer.


Secondly...
The reason I've taken my time with getting 0.3 done, is because it will blow the previous two updates out of the water.

I've taken notes from the survey my dedicated Patrons participated in.
And it has affected tremendously how 0.3 is shaping up to be.

I've been spending more time learning & mastering the software I'm using to make Black Rose -A Netori Story-
Improving my workflow, and implementing something that has been long requested since the first build...
Let's just say the jump from 0.2 to 0.3 will not be a leap, but a slingshot across in terms of quality.

I will go into great details about the changes to the newest update, in a

Finally
I shouldn't have cancelled the game so hastily, I should've only paused the development.

But I have learned from this.

As terrible as my sudden disappearance was.

I do feel it gave me some time to reflect on the mistakes I had made with my first attempt, and where I was going with this project.

So yeah, we're back in business.
Nothing's going to stop me from fulfilling this game's ambitions anymore.

It's going to be an uphill battle, that I'm ready to take on.

Colour me skeptically optimistic. Most revived projects end up dead again not long after but hopefully this will be a real comeback.
