VN - Ren'Py - College of Mysteria [v0.11.1] [HappySteveGames]

I believe you have to approach this as a VN from old, with static character profiles moving from one side to the other and such, probably because AI has limits the ability of making really tailormade images, like specific characters in specific backdrops without much change. But once you get accustomed to the whole AI spin, this game can definitely grow on you!

It's always good to see a proper NTS game, where main couple is truly devoted to each other. Two things that set this one on my sights in the midst of the genre mass is:

• Leaning towards the Netori side of the spectrum, so it doesn't look like you'll be following a cuck MC that just watches the main LI become the town bicycle, on the contrary, is the MC who's the big slut here
• The fact that, if you wish, you can have a pure "You can look, but can't touch" playstyle with the women, veering strongly in the exhibitionism kink without going into sharing, a niche I haven't seen many games explore properly - which is a shame in my books
• The couple you swing with is made of developed characters, not paper thin, 2 dimensional beings that were included merely to tick off the box and include the tag

Main cons to me would be:

• Sometimes character consistency wavers a bit (e.g. Eustice body going from bulky to chubby to strong to...), guess that's the hard work of getting the AI gen to nail it everytime
• Lack of diversity in body shapes, specially male ones, but I'll chalk that up once again to the AI limitations and training
• Writing does fall off in the later updates, more grammar/orthography mistakes are made
• And finally and more worrying, some later scenes disconnect with previous established events and portrayals up to then, with some characters losing previous important traits, sometimes very important ones (e.g. FMC inconsistent anal experience, Lizzie whole personality gone and fumbling at the beach didn't feel right, Eustice's ED seemingly vanishing out of thin air...)

The 4th star is an uncertain one, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt so far

College of Mysteria, a kinetic novel with AI CGI based in a fantasy setting, is a diamond in the rough. There are a lot of poorly written/developed AI games out there, but this one stands out among the crowd.

The level of writing is decent; the characters aren't particularly deep, but the biggest appeal of the game is the relationship between the MC, Will, and the main LI Cindy, a blossoming exhibitionist/cuckqueen. The game can tune NTS/Sharing to your preference, and there's still enough lewd content here for those uninterested in that kind of stuff.

The story and setting in a fantasy world is serviceable and reads quickly. The lewd content is sultry and paced well with respect to the story. The animations are unfortunately a bit repetitive and leave a bit more to be desired.

The overall polish of the game is the biggest weakness. If an editor could clean up a lot of the messy dialogue or grammatical mistakes, this game would rate higher. The dev seems to update at a decent rate as of 0.10 update (every couple months) so it seems like a quantity over quality approach.

There's enough here to see it becoming something greater.

Discovered this VN late, but what a gem!

Characters are very gung-ho for the sharing and everyone dives right into the action early on. Cindy is a top tier sharing game LI, one of my favorites. MC is a newly empowered commoner/farmer who is being set up to save the world and fuck all the girls along the way (with Cindy cheering him on). Clueless hunk trope, which fits well with the savvier/more politically minded Cindy (they make a very fun team). Game of thrones like setting with room for intrigue and politics as well as Dungeons and Dragons/Pathfinder-like creature battles. Quite a few choices sprinked throughout. Was left genuinely unhappy when content ended with the latest version!

Biggest criticism is that there are some spelling/grammar issues and character name card swaps throughout that can be cleaned up before the final version. Sometimes the scenes also move through VERY fast, though this has allowed for a lot of additional story events over time which I appreciate (vs. only having a handful of very long scenes). Definitely will be checking in for future updates.

Surprisingly good. I thought it would be yet another AI art game, but it has actual depth.

It has the super hot NTS/Sharing situations if you want them and has a genuine and unique plot? It is not the run of the mill game, it is definitely a sleeper. I was actually enthralled during playing, which doesn't often happen.

Bonus points for not having the black guy friend or the mom randomly being there to be fucked.

I like this AVN very much.
acceptable AI CGI
steady updates
Nice playfull humor
But what is best is original story , very fresh in nowadays trend of "13th derivation" of same story.
Nice amount of decision options for playe.

Love the story and the multitude of paths that you're allowed to take. I quickly got through the story (first playthrough), going back in to see if I missed anything of interest. Great game by the way!

Ok, so this one is "straight to the point" and a break from the usual formula. Evaluation from most of the beginning towards the middle of the game.

PROS:

• Mostly consistent characters with specific traits and beautiful diverse body types.
• Environments are diverse and does somewhat follow an aesthetic.
• Surprisingly nice story with enough going on to make it more immersive than other prominent VNs in the genre.
• MC is a dumdum but honest and no-bs type (for once).
• LI can lean towards NTS but she got to "earn" it, which gives the player more agency.
• Sometimes it's nice to sit at the other side of the table and have a cuckquean.

CONS:

• As most negative points, they regards to the game polishing, such as a little more caring to the music when setting the ambiance/sex scenes.
• The pace is a little "too much" for me, I would prefer some more breath between scenes to give it time to sink in/have some extra meaning and preferably fill the already established and rich story.
• Sex scenes with LI can feel repetitive very soon, the same still and small renders makes it shallow and lose its arousing potential.
• Old sex scenes with other LI could improve a looooot with some extra motion.
• The dialogue needs some polishing, both technically as in-character, and I think this is one that needs more attention, it's distracting.
• Some scenes are just two-liners describing what is happening, and that breaks the immersion so much, details like a character shifting their eyes could add soooo much...

Overall, it's a good game, it can be great if the developer just shift the slider from quantity to quality a little bit, but then again, I understand the appeal, so best of luck!

The game pleasantly surprised me.
I was expecting a game that offered little more than cutscenes and inconsistent images, but no.

The character images are consistent or change little. Despite the fact that the MC has the typical massive cock, they haven't made him unique; there are more guys like that.

NTRS is easy to avoid but if you avoid it you will inevitably NETORI (you will do it with married or partnered women) because you have to actively show your girlfriend interest in being seen, and in fact, you have to push her in that direction to get her to do something.

The story is surprisingly entertaining and catches my attention, but here I would point out a drawback/problem, in my opinion. I think there's little world development. It feels like you should already know, and it's somewhat frustrating and shallow. They tell you things as they happen, as if you should already know or if it makes sense.

For example
there's a problem with something called the dungeons, and they explain how they work, as if you were supposed to remember that this is how it is.
It also seems to me, based on the context, that there was some major problem with them before or something similar, but they don't say anything.

Despite this problem with the story, I found a much more interesting novel than I expected, with good images and an entertaining story.

Cucking other dudes? hell yeah
Your girlfriend cucking herself? hell fucking yeah
Cucking yourself a little? why not, seems fair

If you're into swinging, this game is 110% for you, the AI renders are really good and it's an understatement to call them insanely hot, the plot is actually interesting and it doesn't drag on.

There are a couple small bad things about the game like the lack of proper transitions at times and some proofreading needed, but they're minor things and way overshadowed by the good parts

OP mc, fantasy world, ntr content too, sign me up. The only thing I could ask for is a bit of futa on male content, and I'd wait for added versions like I wait for my fav animes. Even without it this is some dreamy stuff.

This game is very good. Cindy’s probly one of the best written girls in any VN I’ve played; loyal as hell but still wild enough to keep things interesting. There’s never a boring moment. Art looks great most of the time, updates come pretty fast, and every new scene makes me wanna keep going. Def worth playing if you like NTR.

[v0.9]

Script:
⠀⠀⠀The protagonist is so clueless, it hurts, physically. Like he doesn't realize that someone's wife in cheating right in front of him or that his childhood friend was all over him for years, or when a housewife and caravan girl are basically throwing themselves at him.
⠀⠀⠀Cindy who is main LI is a huge pervert, it's basically her main character trait and all she ever thinks about is sex. The OP states that main fetishes are netori and sharing, but in reality it more like netori and cuckquean with optional sharing, because you can refuse sharing Cindy, but can't refuse her constantly setting you up with and seducing other girls, most of whom are already in relationships.
! the only woman that can be exclusive to MC is Cindy, all other women WILL be shared, e.g. even after making Wendy his servant MC still makes her suck a bunch of stranger's cocks and it's out of players control !
⠀⠀⠀Setting is weird amalgamation of medieval fantasy and modern urban fantasy. Like it's medieval for the most part, but then we see stuff like showers, smartphones with NFC, modern clothes and vibrators, all of which doesn't really fit the time period.
⠀⠀⠀The overall quality of writing is actually alright. The dev is clearly more focused on erotic/porn sections rather than trying to tell a compelling story as the main plot is not interesting nor original. The porn stuff however is fairly competently written. The pacing is also great - there is never a boring moment, the reader is constantly engaged.
⠀⠀⠀On a side note here are some misc. complaints: there are grammar errors and typos; the dialogue lines are often attributed to the wrong speaker.

Graphics:
⠀⠀⠀The AI art is sloppy, we've got it all: unsettling faces, background details look like splodge, inconsistent looking characters, 45 y/o look like 25 (because magic??), six fingers, etc. Not a lot of imagery to match the text. We are often either staring at a background or a straight up black screen.
⠀⠀⠀The porn here is a mixed bag. The dialogue is naughty, there is a set up, the ladies are pretty, the pirctures are ok. What turned me off a lot is that all sex scenes are missing climax. That's like Erotica 101, how could you fucked that up? No animations in the first half of the novel, unless you count rare 2-3 frame gifs as animation that is. Later on dev added animations of varying quality, mostly on the lower spectrum. The collage of images that starts to grow as the scene propresses is a gretty unique idea, but I don't like it, fullscreen panels look better.


*Sounds are bugged, in a sense that some audio tracks don't turn off when they should.

Playtime: 6-7 hours

Great epic fantasy story where the MC can share his devoted girl or keep her to himself while she enjoys seeing him with others. Does a great job of mixing fantasy world building with hot sex scenes. Love seeing where this one goes with each update.

This is really quite good, in terms of situations and CG, - BUT the writing needs a lot of work. Sometimes it's distractingly bad, with no proofreading.
Some scene transitions really would help the pacing as well.
Shame, because it would be otherwise one of the better ai cg games on here.

Version 0.81

A great implementation of AI graphics and animations coupled with a fast paced decent (by AVN standards) medieval fantasy story to deliver a high energy sex romp. Mysteria is one of the rare AI games out there that updates frequently and yet maintains good quality control.

Story
MC is a farmhand from a rural village with his childhood friend Cindy when one day both were recruited by the enigmatic Lady Gwen to enrol in the College of Mysteria, a magic academy. The main plot unfolds along the lines of a typical save the world from evil forces high fantasy story.

We follow the adventures of MC and Cindy as they go around corrupting other LIs and engaging in doses of kinky, exhibitionist and optionally Netorase sex. Pacing is well controlled without a dull moment as the duo spend their days criss-crossing between the main story and engaging in various deviant acts.

Game Mechanics
Generally a kinetic novel with some choices to select certain sexual fetish (primarily whether you want to see Netorase).

Background / Character Renders
Lots of AI rendered background that appropriately serve their purpose. However it does have limitation similar to other AI games - often macro backgrounds like forest, mountains, towns etc. are not that detailed. In addition, the overall ambience is on the bright side and sometimes does not fit the story which requires a darker mood.

Certain unique scenes to the story that are uncommon cannot be accurately generated by most checkpoints so players have to make do with reading what is happening against the backdrop of a black screen.

Characters are well done with good quality control, so no obvious usual AI errors and inconsistencies. A shout out to also a large number of unique side characters introduced beyond just MC, Cindy and the LIs. This helps to build up an immersive world environment for players.

Character Development
For a fast-moving smut game, character development is certainly not high on the agenda - MC is a horn dog through and through while Cindy's sudden turn from farm girl to minx was abrupt without transition.

Good thing is each of the many characters are at least consistent in their behaviour and dialogue which matches the particular fetish they are assigned to.

Sex Scenes
There are a lot of them sprinkled consistently across the story, so for those who are unwilling to plough through a slow burn AVN Mysteria is a great choice. The scenes focus largely on teasing, exhibitionism, maledom, netori and optional sharing.

The first few scenes were mediocre, not much different from the myriad of AI games out there, but once the developer got going these improved tremendously. Animations were introduced from ~V0.5 onwards which started with a simple not very well-done blow job to much improved deep throats and missionary sex thereafter.

The teasing dialogue, intense music, moaning effects, multiple genital close-up shots and subsequent animations combine to make each scene erotic and high energy.

BGM and Sound Effects
Adequate BGMs blend well with the story though the game could do with additional sound effects, especially during battle scenes, beyond just moaning sounds during sex scenes.

Conclusion
In a sea of copy and paste AI startup games that fall flat within the first three updates, it is encouraging to see Mysteria being frequently updated with improving sex scenes and constant push forward of the main story.

Highly recommended unless you have some ideological disdain for AI renders.

i'm simping for aicg.
the aicg seems more "worked on"/refined than in most other ramshackled ai games, I haven't noticed fleshwarping or supernumeral digits.
The scenes are delivered at a good rythm you won't go 5min without getting a treat.

What a good experience, nothing is forced, and it achieves a lot of sexual kinks very well, the seting is great, the dungeon adventures give oportunities to explore a lot of sexual adventures if the dev wants it, floors that could be done in a sexual way and ofc with a non sexual way if that way is something we dont like.

I just have one thing i like to point. Please dont make the mistake of easy sex conquests, one time flings its ok, but sexual interactions with permanent characters should have a build up to it, like the teacher, doesnt need to be dificult or to long, but the "mc enters a room and all women fall for him its a very bad option" personaly all the games ive played that does it become booooring very fast

Thx for the great game

Great little romp! Always nice to see a cuckquean character done well, and Cindy is one of the better ones. Love their dynamic. Story is fine - formulaic, but with some interesting parts. Visuals are typical AI.

But all worth it for Cindy

As a porn game : 5/5

As a story game : 3/5


The AI scenes and animations are spectacular. The game is very titillating.

The story and world building are very anime-esque. Characters are one-dimensional, dungeons have been made hundreds of times, and often better.

Other than that, it's a great game as long as you (and itself) don't take it too seriously. I had a very fun time with it, and it's incredibly sexy and beautiful! Thanks!

Kicking myself for not giving this one a read sooner...
But now kicking myself for not waiting because now I want more, more, more...

Cuckquean? Yes please!!!
Sharing Cindy? , maybe, we'll see... But it's an option if you want it.
Cucking other dudes? sure, why not, some of them even deserve it...
And the ones that don't, well, too bad, the women are too hot and Cindy loves it, gotta keep her happy...

This one needs some solid editing to fix/clean up some wording and minor mistakes.
Otherwise, very entertaining, hilarious, with a fun little fantasy story to go with the sex fantasies.
Please, let's keep any NTR/cheating involving Cindy out of this one. NTS/Swinging/Hotwife/cuckold type, sure, just don't ruin Cindy, she's perfect right now...
