    Ugh, one of my biggest pet peeves is in this game─lazy editing. It's not hard to capitalize letters at the beginning of sentences. The way this is presented, with missing capital letters every few lines, reminds me of a smiling drunkard with missing teeth. There are a few grammar, spelling, and punctuation issues as well. Those I can forgive, assuming the Dev's first language isn't English. But even non-English speakers still know how to capitalize the beginning of sentences. I also find it truly ironic that the two main characters are illiterate and are being taught to read and write. Pro tip─run the dialogue through a spell check. It's free.

    On the plus side, I love the imagery and art style. I'm an artist, but unlike many, I don't mind AI art if it's presented well and has a good consistency. Although there is one bedroom scene that contains a desk lamp and a cell phone on a stand charger. Things that shouldn't exist in a medieval/magical fantasy setting.

    I find the story to be compelling enough to retain my interest. It's piqued my curiosity to the point I want to see where it ends up going. I love NTS/NTR and look forward to seeing where that's going as well. So, I'll give this 4/5 stars for now.

    It's a very straightforward AI-slop, quite competent and, If you do not mind the general style, pretty for this category. The main selling point is Netori content, but the narrative is so bare-bones, that it hardly feels like a Netori game. It is not so fun to fuck formulas instead of somewhat believable characters.

    As of 0.5, there is enough content for a quick fap or two. I think you can try it out if screenshots do not turn your off and kinks are to your liking.

    No hate to the developer. He knows what he's doing.

    Keko!

    Brooo what a find, what a gem being hide behind the poor main menu (lmao, I hope we can have an update on that xD).

    Absolutely outstanding! I just rushed the game rn, I was lured by the story and the immersion kicked in. Talking about being immersed, the +18 content is presented to us with perfect timing.

    Clearly signs of a good game, art, writing, story telling, timing, immersion.

    Keep up dev! ♥

    (I'll make a longer review as I'm used to when the game is more developed)

    From me, this rating means A LOT. I was born to bitch. I find something seriously wrong with basically every game or VN I play. In my six years enjoying VNs, this is one of two I'd call flawless. However, it's important to note the other one has been going on for 7 years or so. This one is only 3 months old. We'll see where it goes.

    If I had to bitch about something here, what would it be? Easy: the animations. Not much here in terms of quantity or quality. The reason that doesn't bother me is, this game is more or less a steady stream of fantastic eye candy. That's basically the deal with AI as of January 2025. It can give you fantastic still images, but it won't offer much in the way of animation.

    Obviously, AI is one of the two most divisive subjects in today's VN world. You know where you stand. If you despise AI, obviously this game is not for you.

    The other most divisive subject? For lack of a better term, NTR. Surrender all hope of everybody getting on the same page as to whether this abbreviation speaks to one thing or three things, but let's dig into each of those three things, regardless of how we abbreviate them:

    Netorare (when MC gets cheated on): This is not yet in the game, and I suspect it never will be. Unfortunately, the developer has been terrible about giving mixed messages as to whether it's coming. At least in part, this is because he has no fucking idea what this word means:

    "Planned tag: Netorare, or more specifically Netorase."

    This phrase makes no fucking sense because netorase is not a form of netorare. They are completely different things. Anyway, the reason I suspect netorare will never happen is, it would be completely out of character for MC's fuck buddy. (I wouldn't call her a girlfriend.) Though she's no angel, she's super honest with MC, and nothing brings her more pleasure than bringing him pleasure. In a sense, she can't really "cheat" on him, as they aren't really "together" in the first place, but she's simply not the cheating type or the secretive type. You can trust her.

    Netorase (when MC chooses to share his girl with one or more other men): This is in the game. Right now, it's completely optional, and it seems it always will be. Notably, this is not handled the same way it is in many other games. In most netorase games, MC stays home while his girl runs around town endlessly fucking other men, sending him pictures so he has something to masturbate to. In this game, your fuck buddy thinks the only thing greater than fucking you is helping you find other women to fuck. However, if it turns you on to watch her be with other men or to participate in some group sex, she's absolutely down for that, too. Whatever you want.

    Netori (MC fucking girls who more or less belong to other men): This is in the game, and it's pretty important that you're into it. Although there are only so many sex scenes so far, MC repeatedly finds himself in these kinds of scenarios, and he's generally down to fuck.

    Its so good already but it has so much potential with the NTR route in the future, also the art is consistent.

    If you are a fan of NTS you will love this.

    I really hope to see more updates soon, this is really good.

    The good:
    1. Multiple paths that you can choose with different girls. The flexibility is nice and being able to avoid certain scenes is also a nice touch.
    2. Game gets regular updates.
    3. Developer seem nice and listens to the community.
    The bad:
    1. Too many AI Art inconsistencies. I do see an improvement as the game grows, so I hope the developer keeps it up.
    2. The story or plot is a bit all over the place.
    3. The "naughty" scenes or "sex" scenes are way too short.
    Overall: Decent game with potential. Definitely needs some more time to cook. I will revisit in the future!

    What's Up Doc?

    Cindy is so hoott!!!

    The scenes that take place behind closed doors with her are incredibly exciting and intriguing! I think this is the first time I've seen these kinds of scenes implemented so effectively in a game. These are definitely my favourite parts of the game! Congrats to the developer for that.

    Overall the story and the cg is really great and consistent.

    I'm sure this will compete with other very popular ai cg games at some point.

    and

    I hope we will see many more scenes with NTR content including Cindy. :cool:

    You are doing a really good job, dev. I hope you keep it up! (y)

    Gosh, that's what I was looking for! The game itself is very entertaining, has beautiful models, and has an interesting history that made me excited for more. It was definitely a great start!
    Keep up the good work!

    A really interesting game! But it looks solid! The plot is ready, and the girls have been introduced to us.

    Speaking of girls... They're super hot, with interesting dynamics between them. The renderers are on par with the best in this game genre. All in all, it's just a very addictive game that I'll be watching closely.

    TL;DR = interesting porn game. It can be summed up with "a guy starts dating crazy nympho girl".

    Story: 3/5
    Pros:
    + You follow Main Character who has recently started dating crazy sex starved nympho girlfriend. She enjoy any sort of depravity and doesnt have any shame. She will push MC so they explore depths of depravity together.
    + There is also this whole plot backstory of magic and fighting against forces of evil. It is interesting and gives the game some plot. But this plot is mostly background and game clearly focuses on sex primarily.
    Cons:
    - Sadly plot isnt very deep. There are some inconsistencies in story. Moments that dont make much sense. They feel like they have been added only because they are porn tropes or story tropes.
    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

    Art: 5/5
    Pros:
    + Renders are good. Renders are much better than other AI games.
    + Girls are hot.
    + Sex scenes are hot.
    + You can encounter sexy scenes often in this game.
    + You can go full depravity NTR or just lighter "cuck-queen" route.
    Cons:
    - This is AI art and it has some downsides. But downsides are pretty minor (like when faces of different girls look similar ... or when there are inconsistencies in body types).

    Gameplay and rest: 4/5
    Pros:
    + This is typical VN with choices.
    + Choices have some impact on the gameplay. They will influence what scenes you will see.
    + English is decent.
    + Game has soundtrack. Nothing extraordinary but it gives the game nice ambience.
    + Game has sex sounds.
    Cons:
    - Current version of the game isnt very long.

    To sum it up:
    This is ambitious game early in development.
    If you want a game that mostly focuses on sex and you dont mind lack of deep plot, then it is good idea to follow this game's development.

    Would be really good, if it wasnt for all the extra sausage in the game. I don't like Swinging and Sharing, but thats just my personal tastes and in no way reflects on the quality of the game.

    Graphics are good, AI generated of course, but fairly consistent. Models are nice with a nice range of body types and hair, although facial shapes are mostly identical with only slight variations in eyebrow type.

    Personalities are just.. meh. Girlfriend is your childhood friend who for some reason wants to experiment with other guys and loves helping you "conquer" other women. And lots of other guys there are, with more showing up all the time.

    I would suggest to the dev a switch at the beginning of the game or in the options menu that allows you to turn off swinging, and netori, or any other content that some players might not like.

    Otherwise great game.

    Finally, Ai cg game that stands out!

    Really liked the plot, characters and dialogues. Maybe the only thing that looks strange is that MC quickly turns from shy and unaware guy into some alpha-sigma male, but it's fine to me. Art is good, not so much of artifacts and characters are looking hot.

    I am glad that we have an Ai NTR game with some kind of original and interesting plot, and not another copy of the first Ai ntr game on this website, which we have seen like in 10 games already.
    Good luck, dev!

    Dang!

    For once an AI CG game that isn't your cookie cutter interracial cucking crapfest.

    The change in MC from oblivious to deviously horny from the p[rologue to chapter 1 was pretty jarring but other than that it's been a blast.

    Phenomenal start Cindy is such an excellent heroine and the netori focus is refreshing. A lot of fun potential with this one. I would perhaps suggest a hard ntr filter if you do make that content so both anti ntr pro netori and the ntr fans can be happy if doable.

    This NSFW game blends captivating netori storytelling with stunning AI-generated art, creating an immersive and titillating experience. The narrative dives into the complexities of seduction, betrayal, and forbidden desires, keeping players engaged through its well-written dialogue and evolving relationships.

    The AI art is a standout feature, presenting breathtakingly detailed characters and settings. Each scene feels dynamic and visually appealing, enhancing the overall immersion. However, some players may find that the AI-generated style occasionally lacks consistency in finer details.

    The gameplay mechanics are straightforward but effective, prioritizing the story and character development over complex systems. While the game delivers an engaging experience, adding more branching paths could improve replayability.

    Overall, this game is a must-try for fans of netori themes and erotic visual novels. It’s a bold mix of provocative storytelling and cutting-edge visuals, even if there’s room for polish.

    Looking great, not much content yet but I'm already loving what's here. There are already too few 'good' Netori on this site. It doesn't even have a tag of its own and it's painful sifting through netorare just for the sliver of a chance you'd find netori. Most of the cg has been consistent so far too.

    The writing is good and the story well paced.

    Aside from that, best of luck to the dev since you'll be fighting an uphill battle with using AI cg. I know some people have some aversion to that. I'm personally don't mind as long as the scenes are well written and the story makes sense

    Very good beginning. It seems with each update the dev is improving so I am hoping that continues. Looking forward to seeing how future updates play out since the foundation is there to go in multiple directions. Hope some of the NTS stuff is more fleshed out. Overall a very good game so far.

    Version: v0.3

    The game is still currently under development, so I'll do my best to avoid any "deeper" comments on what the game could be, and focus on what it already is for the time being.

    First, the art. Art is looking magnificent. It's simple AI art but well done and good looking. The variety of the characters are also something that is really good, since we have "all shapes and sizes". Girls are looking hot, sex-scenes are looking quite well as well.

    As for the story, it's good, but now we're still stuck in the sex discoveries part of it, so there's not much to be judged. The bases of it are interesting and it can become something truly fantastic.

    Overall, I'm having a really good time playing the game and the dev is doing a great job. Keep up!

    College of Mysteria is a fantasy VN fuckfest set in a bullshit magical world.

    It took me a while to get into this one, but I'm glad I kept at it. At first I was put off by the absolute harem protagonist level unaware MC, but after a while it smoothed itself out when it becomes obvious that the MC isn't harem protag unaware, but actual smooth brain farm boy unaware. It's played for laughs and there's a decent number of good ones.

    Besides it's really Gwen Cindy that steals the show. God I just love a happy, smart, slutty, exhibitionist. Unbothered. Wet. Happy. In her lane. Focused. Flourishing. She's the obvious brains of the operation and basically drags the MC around by his dick whenever she isn't riding it. It's great fun.

    The game's only real weakness is its slow, awkward start. As I said earlier, I nearly bounced off the intro thinking I was getting a mid-tier fantasy story before realizing it's more a comedic fuckfest. There's a certain switch in my brain that needed a moment to get flipped from analyzing the story for plot and character to laughing at Cindy's smutty hi-jinks. Maybe the game would benefit from a more horny intro rather than the sorta aimless info dump? I would have five starred it if I hadn't been moments from closing it in the first fifteen minutes. Also, justice for Wendy horny farmwives need fucking too.

    You won't like the game if you don't like AI cg. You won't like the game if you're expecting Brando Sando levels of story, world building and character development. You won't like the game if you're expecting labyrinthine branching paths with more variables than a calculus equation. This is a smutty fuckfest of a game with glimpses of a story and world just to spice up the circumstances every once in a while.If that's what you're looking for, you won't be disappointed.

    A great start.
    Nicely done artwork with sexy characters.
    Great world building, good story-line and very good character building.
    The humour really helps as well making this a fun read.
    Looking forward to seeing more.
