RPGM - Abandoned - Boy Hero Ken ~Haunted House Investigation~ [2020-11-22] [Sixth Flowerbed]

Pros:

1. Art Quality: The art is decent and visually appealing.
2. Storyline: The story is engaging and well-structured.
3. H Scenes: High-quality H scenes with a wide variety. Notable for good hidden H scenes.
4. Character Development: The characters are well-developed and add depth to the game.

Cons:

1. Animation and Art: While good, the animation and art do not stand out as exceptional.
2. Story Progression: The pace of the story and corruption elements can feel too fast.

4/5 - This is overall a great game, especially if you are looking for one with hidden/behind the curtain style NTR scenes.

This one deserved to have 5/5 stars shame we don't know anything about the dev why he abandoned this project run away...

This have so much potential I wish we have some complete routes of all characters...but it's almost 4 years and the chance that dev to come back is very low....

If you like mystery ntr this is for you...

It is a good game but not perfect. There is 3 endings as far as I see and all of them are ntr endings. So even if the endings have unavowable ntr. It is abandoned but most of the routes is finished, so it is not a problem.

3.5* rounded up.

I played one route of this years ago, when this was first released. I've just come around to playing the other route that extends the game a bit. My memory is a bit fuzzy from the parts I played a long time ago, but seeing as this is a classic, I thought I'd review it.

This is a porny, oblivious NTR game. It's not trying to weave well written characters or a plot that is intriguing beyond the very surface level. Everything is written in order to dish out some NTR and that's it. It's one of those 'porn takes precedence over logic' type of writing. The MC is a retard even among the many oblivious NTR protagonist. The girls are not much better and they too just play out the usual corruption arc (which is very rushed, not necessarily in game time, but in regards to whats happening in the story.) without any real exploration of their psychological state or motivations.

The gameplay is also on the annoying side. A huge maze without a map, so you will be doing a lot of back and forth until the repetition actually makes you memorize the layout of the rooms lol. At least there is no random encounters to combo with the maze, which is when things usually get unplayable.

Now, I've said some unflattering things about the game, but it's still quite fap worthy. And in the end, the game isn't trying to be more than a fappable NTR game. The scenes are pretty hot and sometimes creative. The oblivious NTR is maintained for most of the game, so no need to worry about the game turning into netorase or some weird cuckold MC thing until the ending.

The art is one of those janky but erotic style that I tend to enjoy. The moaning sounds are done well and there are also some pixel animations on top of the CGs.

Overall, it's a nice fap game for those who can turn their minds off. There are NTR works that fully fleshes out the characters and their idyllic life before corruption begins. There are NTR works that explore the corruption process and moral degeneration in detail. This game is not one of those. It's quick to get into the meat of things, but that's not innately a negative thing, as long as the set up and progression has some necessary amount of cohesion.

PS: The game is complete except the Dev never got around to adding the last ending route, which was presumably supposed to be the good ending if my memory is correct. That's what the abandoned tag represents. So this game only has NTR endings.

Best of the best. Among the gold standard of Japanese RPGM NTR games. Although it's marked as "Abandoned" the game has full-length content. Only slight (very slight) criticism is that it has an unusual story-line that may be a bit hard to follow (or care about) while you're just trying to bust. This makes the game a little bit slow at first, but there's a goldmine of payoff.

Overall an OK/decent game, high C-tier. Took me 2.5 hours to complete and got all scenes and available endings.

Good
-Audio is really good, the moaning during scenes is really well done
-Most scenes have variety, especially the silhouette scenes which are animated
-Character body design is hot
-Had some outfits that were hot
-Large volume of quality scenes for such a short game
-Easily obtainable endings

Bad
-Characters are extremely stupid
-Inconsistent story elements
-A bit clunky, especially near the start
-Humour is not very good
-Very unrealistic corruption of the girls - very inconsistent characters
-Censorship
-Unclear directions for where to go
-Art style is sometimes inconsistent
-MC is a complete retard (I'm fine with oblivious MC, but this game takes it to another level, the MC is completely braindead in this game)


Full review

The story in this game has good and bad moments. On one hand, the story is definitely more interesting than a lot of typical RPGM games and it does have moments of mystery during the game. The main problem is that there is no consistency with the story and there are lots of elements which are just irrelevant. One example is that we are introduced to this phantom thing, but by the end it's just completely forgotten.

There is minimal combat in this game so I won't comment on it.

The character art is quite good. The body design for Millie and Layla is really hot. I'm not a fan of lolis so Ren was not really attractive to me. However, the faces were not the best, especially since they were sometimes inconsistent. The faces would sometimes change slightly for different scenes which is a bit weird. The character art during scenes is also in general a bit inconsistent. This is most notable in the final scene for ending (1A?) where there is a pretty noticable drop in quality. There is also censorship in this game which is a shame, even though some scenes don't show any private parts, the censorship does make the majority of the scenes worse. One thing I did like during the game was some of the different outfits that the girls had, especially the bunny suit that Layla had. The problem with this was that they didnt wear the outfits very often, there aren't a lot of scenes involving them (only Millie's maid outfit comes to mind) which is a shame.

The sex scenes in general are really good though. I like that there is a variety of different positions and while there is some CG repetition, it's not that frequent compared to a lot of other RPGM games. One example is the silhouette scenes which are animated and really hot. Another is the one where Millie is getting railed behind the door and the door gradually opens; it's a nice change. Another great part about the scenes in this game is the audio. The moaning and sounds in this game are great and really add a lot of depth to the scenes. The scenes are also quite easy to obtain, since the story is extremely linear. There is also a large volume of scenes, probably like ~20, which for such a short game is a really good amount.

Now onto the main problem with this game, the characters. First of all, there is such a huge disparity in character consistency with the girls. The most obvious is Millie. The very first scene in this game is Millie punching the mayor through the house's wall because he groped her. Then, in the first scene in the mansion, they start kissing each other... what?? Where the fuck did that come from, why would Millie kiss him? You could argue that the slime or the phantom which touched her earlier made her horny or whatever. I would normally be 'fine' with this explanation, except that the game doesn't actually provide any explanation, that was purely speculation on my end. Anyway after they kiss, in like the 3rd scene, Millie is literally getting fucked raw by the mayor... again, what?? This girl turned from a pure girl who is against sexual harassment into a slut in like a few in-game hours. Completely ridiculous and unrealistic corruption, there is no slow burn at all, there is no gradual descent into sluttiness, she straight up just becomes a slut like that. Then there is Layla, a nun, who also becomes super slutty. Again, she kisses the mayor in their first scene together in the locker and then they shower together in the next scene. What a load of rubbish.
(Spoilers for the next 2 paragraphs)Onto the next problem with the characters - their stupidity. These characters, if you can even call them that, might be the dumbest characters I've ever seen in a game. A lot of the decisions during this game to progress the plot (of which you don't get a choice of course) are absurd and just plain stupid. Often, it is how all the characters just agree to let the mayor team up with the 2 girls, and how they all just agree to let them stay in the mansion overnight whilst the other 2 guys go back to the village. This just doesn't make any sense at all. Then, later in the game, when you go back to the past, the mayor manages to step out of the mansion. The entire plot of the first part was that the mayor couldn't leave and so he had to stay in the mansion. So why on earth did they all decide to stay in the mansion in the 2nd half? Why didn't they jsut go home?
The final problem with the characters is to do with the MC. He is one of the most stupid MCs ever. I'm not talking oblivious, I'm perfectly fine with oblivious MCs, but this MC in this game is completely braindead. There are quite a lot of instances where he's being a bit dumb in this game, but the main thing is when he gets this ability to see glimpses of the past. In the game, he confirms that the mayor is fucking the girls by using his ability, so he can decide to go back in the past. When we are in the mansion again and he sees the glimpses of the past again, he suddenly says that these visions are just hallucinations caused by the phantom???? Like you literally just used this ability a few hours ago to see the past and see the sex scenes, but then when you use it this time it's a hallucination? Absolutely ridiculous.

Misc:
One other thing that I did like was that there are a few different endigns and they are all obtainable quite easily. Other things I didn't like: the game feels quite clunky with the large amount of cutscenes. This is most notable in the start of the game when you get a cutscene every 5 metres; if you're gonna give me control of the character don't make me move a few squares and then relinquish that control for another bloody cutscene, jsut do a prologue sequence or something. Another problem was the lack of direction during the parts where you could move around. I get that some of it was exploration, and that's fine, but I'm talking about the times where the in-game characters knows where they are, but the player doesn't. For example, one part you look for Millie and we assume shes in her house. Idk where tf her house is. Another example: looking for Ren, we assume shes in her house, where tf is her house as well?? Another different example: Looking for Millie and Gramps, but this time you had to enter the empty office to progress the game (because you watch a cutscene of the past) - I searched the entire village before I thought about entering an empty room. The game couldve very easily put 'search for Millie & Gramps, they were last seen in the office' which would've been much better. The last issue I have is that the humour is really not that funny, it's jsut unnecessary.

Overall, an OK/decent game. I would absolutely NOT recommend this game unless you're a big fan of NTR, because otherwise it's just not worth playing it at all. I'm impartial to NTR (I dont hate it but it's not my favourite fetish) and I thought this game was just frustrating to deal with these shitty characters. If you're willing to suspend your disbelief for this, then it's possible you might enjoy the game.

This shouldn't get mark as abandoned. This game is completed game with 3 ending

Female charactor design 10/10
Sex scenes 10/10
This game give you a perspective as main charactor and female charactor

Worth every minute to play. I still play the game from time to time, even now.

This review may be a bit redundant, seeing as this appears to be a game completely devoid of any further updates or content, but I'll do it anyway seeing as its still game up for downloads.

Honestly, I went into this game with high expectations. There were some mixed reviews, but majorly, I was seeing a lot of positive feedback and the throwing around the word 'masterpiece'. As an enjoyer of NTR/Netorare games, I've also heard this one mentioned a few good times, so I knew a good amount of people played this.

Before I go into why I gave only three stars, lemme say some things I liked.

THE GOOD.

• I overall enjoyed the art, and the presentation of this game. While the characters are simplistic, and kinda wonky in some poses, I didn't find himself so distracted by it that it detracted from my playthrough. It did what it needed to be do, and there were a good few scenes I really did enjoy looking at. The usage of pixel sprites were also nicely done, a smaller addition but one that made a noticeable difference.

• This game had good ideas. I think the concept of a ghost/outside force helping the antagonist is a cool one, and I especially like the usage of the 'past seeing eye' in the exposure of Ken to what's happening around him. These probably could've been used in more creative ways, but I enjoyed how they were implemented nonetheless.

• The puzzles/missions weren't too difficult, and I never found myself actively growing annoyed that I was doing one. Despite the fact that the mansion explorer was literally just a walking sim, I found myself for some reason actually enjoying just wandering around the mansion and looking for ways to progress.

THE BAD.

• The characters were not characters, they're caricatures. We get little no no time to actually meet and hang out with these people, instead we're just show one small scene with them then thrown into the fray of NTR. The main heroine gets the most screentime before its her time, but even then, we don't get much other then 'somewhat temperamental girl with crush on ken but is annoyed he doesn't recuperate'. And after we get that, we're instantly getting cucked right after. It just doesn't work, because I haven't been given time to actually learn about any of these characters. The game kinda just tells me I should care about what's happening to her, but I don't. I mean seriously, Ren is the biggest offender of this, (blue haired girl, I think Ren is her correct name). I found myself having 0 memory of who she's actually supposed to be, or why I should care what happens to her. She's such a side character capable of being thrown away its insane.

What's the point of playing a corruption NTR game if I don't care about whose being corrupted?

• In line with the characters not being fleshed out, the corruption is dummy fast. We start with groping, which is typical NTR stuff. I found it a bit weird how submissive the main heroine was, seeing as the first scene she's groped by the old man she literally throws him through a wall, but it was ok nonetheless. We then go from groping to kissing over a period of time, a well paced decent into corruption imo. But then, out of fucking nowhere, the main villain fucks the main heroine in a bath and takes her virginity. It happened so suddenly, (even though we're teased of it earlier), I honestly didn't know what was happening. How did we go from hesitant kissing to full fledged sex? And then after that the girl just turned into a straight up sex partner wherever the old man pleased. No resistance, no pacing, just 0 to 100. The nun got an even worse treatment, with her entire corruption going like this:

Slime makes her horny and hot, so she lets the main villain kiss her while trapped in a locker ---> she lets the main villain grope and finger her in the shower ---> the villain fuck whenever he wants.

She literally lets the main villain fuck her raw in her church, while her boyfriend watches unknowingly, in her third fucking lewd scene. It makes 0 sense.

• Everything else is just... ok. There's honestly nothing in this game that is done 'well'. The things I listed in good are things I liked, but I wouldn't describe a single one of them as 'well done'. The art is passable, and enjoyable at moments, but I've definitely seen better. The story and characters are barebones, so those definitely aren't that good. There's simply nothing this game does to set it above average. You could pick another NTR game at random, and unless its dogshit, it'll probably be on the level of this game or above.

I'm not sure why so many people proclaim this game a masterpiece, when its really just ok, but I give it a three star average. If you're bored and want something to play with your brain off, go ahead and download this. If you want real quality, I'm sure there are plenty of other NTRs out there much better then this one.

The game is surprisingly very good.
The story and the plot is quite engaging and easily understood. Game mechanics and progress is clearly explained and indicated how to progress, there is some puzzles to solve, but not a challenge. While progressing through the game you see different perspectives and control different characters as story progresses.
Really enjoyed multiple endings and enjoyed the game and how it was designed. Game is heavily engaged on NTR kink, hence if that's not something you like would not recommend it.

Comments
Again…. 2nd of 3rd game to review that I played months ago. From what I remember I finished it for the most part I think. Anyhow, art is pretty meh but scenes were fairly well done, heavy NTR focus although. The maps weren’t oversized and the gameplay element wasn’t as tedious. Scene hunting was also easy enough. Game offers multiple endings, but I didn’t bother them.
So basically, if you want NTR, give it a try, but overall do I feel like this game is worth the time? Naaahh.. I'd rather play something else.
Total Score: 5/10
Game status:
✅ Finished ‘ish

I really don't get the praise for this game, it's just your bog standard RPGM NTR game. Go around doing whatever the plot demands you to in order to get cucked with some really mediocre artwork.

Maybe I just don't get it because I only like NTR for seeing a girl get corrupted and cumming her brains out, but it didn't really have any emotional weight to it, either. You meet these girls, MC and them share feelings but don't do anything with them, dirty old man wants to fuck them, he sexually harasses them and they put up practically no resistance, you can guess the rest. There's no emotional weight, no good writing, no good artwork, just... absolutely nothing special about it.

I just... I'll never understand why games like these exist when they're so mediocre. Just go look at an NTR manga on nhentai that has infinitely better art. It's not the same thing, but you'll have a better time and not waste hours of your life.

Is one of your fethish netorare? Are you fine with the art?

Yes and yes? Do your cock a favor and get this game then.

On a more serious note the game is very specific for people who likes NTR, it builds around that so if you are not in to netorare then it would be a cuck(eh) experience. Almost every part of the story is trope incarnate tho but that is why it is hot imo, yes it is very tropy put it's a top tier one. If you come here for good story writing or gameplay you wouldnt get it here. If you come here to fap to some goddamn good ol ntr? you wont be surprised, the game is quiet easy to follow, you shouldnt miss any scenes.

As a game it is a 2.5/5. As a ntr hentai game I gives it 5/5.

PS: In case you wonder what type of ntr this game is. It's netoRARE not netorase or netori, mostly netorare.

I'm glad this thread finally got updated with the abandoned tag, as it was long since clear that this game was never going to get finished. I think that's what spoiled my mood most about this game.

Now let's give this the 'ol breakdown.
STORY - 3/5
NTR is something of a strange, divisive genre. And it's one that derives much of its eroticism from its scenario. Now, there is nothing wrong with not being anything special. If its not broken, don't fix it, and there are certainly reasons that established genre stereotypes exist. That being said, the most basic of RPGMaker NTR plots is certainly not doing this particular game any favors. Old ugly bastard -adjacent dude fucks your girls, and they hardly put up any fight at all while you are stuck on the sidelines. Cut, paste, repeat. The game has two branching endings, one of which was not completely finished, and the other wasn't implemented at all.
CHARACTERS - 1/5
Again, NTR is derived from its narrative. Having good, or even passable, characters is essential to its function. Outside of their very surface-level tropey archetypes, none of the characters have any personality whatsoever. I'd say the most fleshed-out character by a significant margin would be the old man, and heck, I'd even go so far as to root for the guy, since he's just trying his best. The girls have minimal depth, and your own character is an absolute putz. At the very least, your own character has a modicum of initiative, which does put him a single rung above the absolute dregs of NTR.
GAMEPLAY - 3/5
Gameplay isn't horrible. I don't mind RPGMaker games that are mostly walking. Dull though they may be, they serve their narrative purpose just fine. I can't really praise nor critique the game in this regard. I do recall getting lost once or twice looking for events, but that's par the course.
ART - 2.5/5
The art is... passable. One glance at it will tell you it's not the best. Basically every character lacks pretty much any finer detail, and things have a stunning lack of depth. Its far from the worst I've ever seen in an H-game, but its even further from the best. I wouldn't call it ugly, and its certainly good enough to be arousing, but its also not supremely pleasant to look at.
LEWDS - 3/5
Easily the game's strength, even if that is a pretty low bar. The scenes are all pretty good, sufficiently hot, and work well in a vacuum, such as the gallery room. Its when they are all strung together in an attempt at a narrative that they become less than the sum of their parts. They also tend to be kinda samey, with the first couple being the girls putting up some vain, pathetic, token resistance, and the rest a pretty generic set of them moaning like cheap whores.
CONCLUSION - 3/10
All said, were it within the capacity of this site's function, I'd give this one a 1 and a half stars, but I'll round down just to give it a bit of a negative swing to fight back against the bafflingly high score this game somehow has. My critiques come from a place of admiration. I wish there were more good NTR games. They are a genre that plays on emotional masochism in a way that no other can, and there are precious few truly good ones out there. This one is not one of the good ones. It might be decent for a quick wank with a 100% save, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone except the most desperate.

This game is... a bundle of mixed emotions, and not due to story reasons. It's very hot, very nice. I just...


Aside from that, game's great. Might notice a slight issue where, if you dive in straight for scenes, the gallery mode doesn't actually show you all of the route scenes. You actually have to play through the whole game for them. Which kind of sucks cause there's a lot of lore and exposition for what essentially amounts to 'you get cucked.'


The game's good. It's just... it leaves a bad aftertaste when you think about what it could've been. I'd track down the author and throw money at them to make the scenes I want, but it seems they disappeared. Looking at their previous works, it seems they weren't much for game development either, since they basically just did manga and HCG before this. In fact, this appears to be part of a series on "Boy Hero Ken". If you're still hunting for more art, this artist has some for you, though you can visibly watch their art style improve with each release.

I'm angry and sad about what this could've been, so I took off two stars.

Boy Hero Ken ~Haunted House Investigation~ [2020-11-22] [Sixth Flowerbed]
True rating 2.5
Cute game that I recommend.
Despite the "completed", it must be said that the game is not complete, or rather, it is complete but not in all the available routes.
[The game is not complete, and only recently they put the project in abandoned, before it was written "completed"]

Original artwork, which I personally found so-so. Great when the characters are dressed up, or when the scenes are frontal. On the other hand, when the scenes are lateral, the bodies of the characters deform completely
different from the front view.
The characters are also so-so. Of the three girls only Milly is good, the nun is acceptable, while Ren has no sense of existing, she is a character who was added only because she is female, a completely useless character.
As for the male characters it is even worse, only the mayor (grandfather) is promoted. Useless priest, protagonist even worse than the priest, but it will be explained in the endings.
The endings are the worst thing in the game.
The only acceptable ending is that Ken accepts that his grandfather and the girls sneak into each other, and Ken takes an interest in sneaky peeks. You may like it, you may not like it, but it's a coherent ending.
But to see Ken deny it, do not believe in anything, go back in time and solve nothing, he knows that it has happened but he blames the spirit without feeling anger, envy or anything else towards his grandfather ... in short, a behavior
emotionless, not human at all. Not only is it not human, it is even annoying to have to impersonate such a character.
For this the only acceptable ending is Ken peeking.
However, by choosing the only ending with a logical sense, you skip the last part of the game, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

The game is poorly structured.
At the beginning the game is quite good, with some quests that, however simple (finding the chickens, thinking about the vegetable garden, etc.), interrupted the monotony of the game.
After the mansion, the game becomes all the same.
Go to point A and watch the scene. Now go to point B and see the scene. Go back to point A and see the scene. Now go to point C etc.

Give it a try as the artwork is still mesmerizing, but don't expect too much from the story, the characters, the music, the gameplay and all the other stuff.

Golden standard for NTR games. Good rival, cute heroines, really compelling story. I enjoyed every single second of playing this game and wish there were many more like this. The relationship between the MC and his rival is also something really fresh which makes it all the more interesting to play

It's an excellent NTR/cheating game, with differents ends. The story is good, with some surnatural things. I'm fan of the playing old pervert on naive girl, it's totaly my taste ! I suggest this game at the amateurs of cheating/ntr/sexual harsselment and humiliation.

Really good game. The art is nice, it has CGs and pixel art and I'm a big fan of the pixel art. The music is realitively pretty simple but good. The game does have sexual moaning so wear headphones.

Highly recommend if you like NTR

NTR Masterpiece. This should always show up first when searching for NTR RPGM.

+Great pixelated sprites depicting the action and perfectly placed in around MC.
+Hard to miss anything.
+MC-kun is no victim to anything but his own (in)actions.
+"Antagonist" actually express affection towards his "targets" and MC.
+About 10-12 hours and not too big of a map.

-Lots of backtracking but sometimes rewarded with voyuer events.
-Walk speed too slow, sprint speed too fast
-The conquest of heroines are strange, although better than most similar games. Seems to boil down to suspension bridge effect + big dick and plenty of "ammo". Millie's route could have played futher on the path of frustration with MC-kun's wishy-washy behaviour and inaction.
-Weird disconnect between characters depiction between scenes, sometimes body type changes and parts contort strangely. Still alot better than the plethora of extreme oppai around.

-Personal taste if character design basicly boils down to only liking Millie-chan's face/hair and Run-chan's body. But the pixelated sprites were great.

A good first impression and interesting approach overshadows the game's shortcomings.

+ In the game we get not only typical CG, but also pixel art which is really well done and adds a nice variety;
+ You can see that the erotic scenes are well thought out, the author tried to give them a perverse flavour (this is important, because sometimes authors take the easy way out on this issue);
+ The gameplay is smooth, the missions are not tiring, so everything seems intuitive;
+ All in all, I like it when in an NTR game, the bull borrows more than one woman from environment;
+ We do have some choices in the game, there aren't many and they usually only apply to endings but it's still better than nothing;

- The story has some incomprehensible shortcomings, it seems as if the author took some shortcuts with certain assumptions in order to somehow bring it all together in a logical whole;
- Mechanically there is not much going on in the game, so people who like to play RPGM are unlikely to find much to do here.

Provided you turn a blind eye to the slightly naive story (which is nothing new with games of this type) this is a really successful title. Admittedly, we didn't get the extra ending the author promised, but still, what's in the game is enough for a few hours of fun NTR. People who do not like this category - rather do not have what to look for in this game, because everything is based on this fetish.

However, I have a problem with evaluating the game, because I would gladly change or add a few things in the title itself, and it wouldn't even require a lot of time, as long as someone has these skills. The artwork itself isn't bad, but those accustomed to a higher level of graphics will definitely be struck by the poorer quality of them. Obviously under normal circumstances this is not a 5/5 game, but in the end it did what it was supposed to do - everything works and I have a weakness for NTR titles so I won't be too hard on it.

Other than that a rating of 5/5, a rating of 5/5 is not equal, this game is just fun in its own way.
