Others - E-Thots: A NTR Game Set in a 100% PC Interface [Ch. 2 v2.4] [Archipote]

I think where this game really nails the premise is the fact that Morgane has zero idea that Avar is aware of her antics, legitimately believing she is getting away with what she's doing. So many NTR games attempt this, but so few actually get it right, or there are zero consequences until the very end. In this game, consequences are unfolding alongside the activity, with Avar and Elaine's deal.

I can confidently say that getting Morgane's 'phone' call actually made something stir in my chest, which no other AVN has managed to pull off. Is it the very familiar interface we're using pulling us in? Is it the characters having actual personalities, or motivations?

One thing for certain, I'm actually looking forward to the potential story branching down the road, to have a say in how Avar will react once Morgane goes all the way (it's a porn game, she's going to eventually).

In short, E-Thots is shaping up to be one of, if not the best NTR game of this style.

Wtf is this game?

Nothing makes any sense. Feel like I'm having a stroke playing it
Normal dialog in this game:
You: "Hey, how are you?"
Girl: "Hi I'm good!"
You" SIKE fuck you, stupid bitch"
Girl: "Aww "
You: "HAHAHA you think I care, dumb whore?"
Girl "Do you wanna eat together ?"
You: "I would rather eat glass than be with your fat ass"
Girl: "You don't love me?"
You: "Nobody loves you, slut HAHAHA"

This is a NORMAL conversation in this game, and it's 99% dialog. It's this over and over, it makes you feel like you are going crazy because nothing makes any sense

Then there is going to your job, which is a card "game"? You pick 2 different choices, and its the same shit like you are on drugs:

Girl: "Boss! Do you think I worked hard today?!"
Option 1: "You never work hard anyway, dumbass"
Option 2: "No, you have no talent anyway"

What sort of insane person made this game? Why do people like it?

At one time, you can look at your sister's DMs. First thing that happens is they send nudes to each other (what?) and instantly says something like "imagine if you sent this to your brother lol UwU"

Most confusing game ever, like an insane asylum from opening the game

Gets +1 star for graphics I guess

Overall a good update.

The story line continued fine and I am currently happy with the direction things are going. I am also happy about the construction of the gallery. I was on the edge of my seat with each chat box popping up wondering when it would be the end and all the new content being uploaded.

Onto less happy news, the gallery or more specifically the work gallery. Every time I did a job it added it the the gallery so I had a minimum of at least two or three repeated scenes in the gallery, for every single character too. Also it seemed one or two scenes did not get carried into the gallery. Morgan and Lucas car scene and the Morgan and Lucas Party kissing scene was not available even after a couple of re clicks.

I am aware that the reason the work scenes are probably not being further updated right now is because you are waiting for that final push in the story to let them progress onto even more perverse stuff.

The missing Thomas character is actually kind of a bummer to. He seemed like a nice support character even if he was overall a gateway into the rest of this stuff and I wish he had a comeback. I feel like this next update will be the one that pushes into the next level and having Thomas make a surprise comeback with a different attitude would be pretty cool. If she doesn't have sex with Lucas in this next update, I fully support her getting it back on with Thomas as a surprise. I also have a few reasons.

One of my biggest reasons is because of who the other two people are, a well known playboy and a married man who's wife secretly fully supports this. Thomas has neither. Before Damian went alpha and over protective and made Morgan push him away, though she did ask if he was still ignoring her and he ignored that to, I believe it might have went further. Out of the three in total, Thomas was the one who she helped grow as a person and that had a profound impact on his life, having that image shattered of her should be another major turning point for him. While Lucas and Damian had hidden intentions veiled behind false mask, Thomas genuinely wanted her friendship more, he just made it well known he found he attractive and though asked for dates and whatnot, it was to spend actually time and not to just to get into her pants, unlike the other two that are using other means to make her like them, Lucas with offers of well paid jobs and Damian with material items. He did offer though, but only after he learned about it.

That's really all I have to say on the matter. Overall good update, fix repeated gallery scenes from work, and have Thomas make a killer comeback. Though the last one is optional I feel the return of him might surprise some people since he seems written off now. I mean outside being told to humiliate him and enjoying it Morgan did seem like she liked Thomas as well so, maybe it feels stretched, but Thomas fucking her first would be so fucking awesome.

I never post reviews for games, even if I love them. But this game so bad I had to.
I do not think this is a porn game, Just clicking and text. Please add the text based tag to this game. Boring slop, no scenes just endless brain dead dialogue. What is this?? Does not deserve the rating it has, other games which have 3 stars are better than this slop. Wasted my time -_-

Build up is crazy, although memey feels realistic, art is hot. Only game I will ever sub to on Patreon 10/10.

Dev has experimented with different styles of work system and is getting better each time, really want a gallery tho, and they're looking for an artist but it seems perfect for me so far.

Thoroughly enjoyed what the game offers so far - it's actually quite engaging and funny, look forward with what's to come.

If you like egirls and have a penchant for NTR then this one is for you. It's quite a build up and introduces little elements of the backstory here and there whilst the corruption sets in.


Update 2.4 is here and it only gets better from this point - looking forward to further update and will be subbing to patreon on payday

I wanna keep this as short as possible for the dev's consideration.

Mechanics changed very drastically between what I assume is the cut-off between CH1 and 2 which tells me they're very receptive, which is great! I wanted to preface this so it's clear where I stand when I say that the mechanics are missing a lot of either QoL or supplementary mechanics that'd make the game much more intuitive.

Before I get into the separate mechanics of the respective chapters, I wanna talk about the agency and the interface.

Which is that there's very little in the way of actually MANAGING the agency. Maybe you don't want to make it a "management" game, okay that's cool. Respectfully, however, the premise lends itself so much to being about managing the agency and what the girls do given that we're playing the owner and manager of the agency and I really feel like the P.C. interface should play a bigger role other than checking Despot for discussions.

IMO there's a lot you can do with a P.C. interface and relegating it to a singular phase in the game where you click a button over and over again for new dialogue is tedious. That isn't a knock on the narrative of the game; It's entirely why I have 3 stars! I'm hooked on the story and I'm going to be here for it all the way through! It just doesn't change that how that story is being fed to me is simply not appetizing.

If you really want different phases in gameplay I really think the separation should be in which P.C. you're interfacing. And this is just an idea here: You can have clearly distinguished P.C. interfaces. The P.C. at home and the office P.C.. And, if you REALLY wanna throw players for a loop, there can be a day where you show a completely different P.C.. Showing a perspective outside of the protagonist. Again, a lot of cool mechanics can be used in a simple interface like this. You can do a FNAF-style camera system, e-mails-- Anything to spice up how the player participates in the narrative because this is a great core mechanic waiting to be used.

Ch.1: I actually found the card system to be REALLY fun! I was a little disappointed when it was taken away in CH.2. Mainly because it was moreso part of the gameplay loop rather than a 2-day event. And it feels like an, albeit minor way, to actually engage with the characters.

CH.2: While there are clear improvements in terms of what we're getting out of this chapter; the 'phase 2' mechanic is not very intuitive. Having pretty much just 2 days where we actually do anything just made me want to spread the 2 days apart during the week so it doesn't feel like I'm clicking the same buttons over and over again throughout the rest of the week. There's, like, 2 or 3 events that take place outside of the P.C. interface... While they have a cool gameboy aesthetic; they kind of just take me out of the experience more than anything. There's all sorts of things happening that even our character is participating in outside of the P.C. interface and I can't understand why specifically only these events are being shown to us. It's a bit of a thematic clash.

Amazing game, i love everything that this dev is doing, specially on the second part, that its very clear he realized the stuff that was a little bit tedious and simplified things for the better. Art is beautiful, writing is great and fun and plays smoth.I imagine later with more content inside the game, the "week" will feel a little bit more interactive, to point maybe something not bad, but to later improve.

Pretty good game.

It's one of those few NTR games that actually tries to be not just mediocre, but genuinely competent at times. The execution is great:

• Despite having Illusion graphics, they don't look as washed out as some other games on this site. Would appreciate more bodytype variety, though.
• The whole game as is is pretty well done. It's not just an HTML/Ren'Py slideshow, but rather an environment that mimics an actual PC. Not the first to do it, but certainly one of the best
• The Crowns-esque minigame is actually a pretty fun way to set the progression. The Despot chats are a lot slower and sometimes annoying, but otherwise fine

The main thing that defines this game is the writing. It's the particular sort of 'haha, am funni cus i swear' humor that you find in a lot of these games: lots of sarcastic back and forth, surreal topics and exaggerated characterization. Nothing new or particularly great, but if you're into that sort of thing, it's fine. I tolerate it to an extent and, admittedly, it is pretty funny at times. I guess whether you find it funny or not depends on if you're used to the same kind of interactions with other people IRL.

All in all, a solid experience, although a slow-moving one. I feel like it's a comedy VN first, porn game second, so keep your horny expectations in check (although when it comes to lewdness, it's pretty darn good).

I enjoy the NTR aspect of this game, especially the conversations Morgane has with Thomas. Morgane asking Thomas to call her while he masturbates was pretty hot. The fact that she doesn't reveal anything to you (The protagonist) keeps you on edge as to what she might do next. I also like that Morgane wasn't completely open to doing anything with Thomas but opened up slowly.

I find myself eagerly awaiting for messages to pop up on her despot account more than my own despot account as that's where most of the NTR plot is at. I also feel like a full-blown snooper but I like that about this game. The full despot interface helps you to immerse yourself in the gameplay.

Having said that, is this game free of flaws?
Not exactly, I found the work aspect of the game a tad bit tedious - to unlock a scene, you need to get a girl to perform the task twice minimum and the switching of the camera takes some time to pan to that location so that's quite annoying.

There was also one bug which I found (mentioned below), though it's not game-breaking so it does not affect me all too much.

What would I like to see more?
This is purely my own preference but as an NTR fan, maybe more content on Despot and Hot Hoot would be nice where messages/photos tell a story driving the NTR plot and keeping you on the edge of your seat. So far, Hot Hoot hasn't really painted any story so perhaps more content there would be nice. I would also like to see links between Morgane Despot messages and my own messages (e.g. only one side of the story shown in my messages but you get to see the full story/picture on Morgane's Despot account, either from sending or receiving messages/pictures).

There is also a lot of fluff on Despot as well (Messages that do not contribute to the story or plot) but some can argue it helps to add character and personality so I won't fault the game for that as long as the story and fluff are well-balanced.

Who is the intended audience for this game?
This game targets a niche group of people

• Firstly, people who enjoy NTR and
• Secondly, people who love to get a story via the discord-like messaging platform, Despot.

Instead of your typical visual novel, most of the story and plot are driven via Despot. The occasional visuals are a nice way to link your imagination with the Despot texts but most of the contents in this game are texts. The usage of emojis adds to the immersion and personality of the character as well. If this ticks your checkboxes, then you'll most likely enjoy this game.

TL;DR
- A very well-polished game, I've only ever seen one bug as of Ch2 v2.2

1. When Thomas sends a screenshot of Damien's message to Morgane, the image does not resize properly, causing text to overlap with the picture (Updated by the dev that it has been fixed in Ch2 v2.3!)

- Unique concept where the NTR story/plot is driven via texts and occasional photos on Despot (Discord-like interface)

Overall, I love the game, kudos to the dev, Archipote and keep up the great work! I hope that my feedback is helpful and constructive. I look forward to future updates and would love to see some of my requests implemented.

This game is so boring that my dick shriveled up and my balls shrank. It is basically dialogue and not very good dialogue either with an occasional image thrown in here and there, very occasionally.

It is basically a card game where you can't see anyone while you are playing and everyone is nasty to everyone else.

absolutely banger of a game with voyeur hidden ntr which is the best kind of ntr to me

plot and characters flow well with the spicy scenes,cant but look forward to this project

definitely one of the most promising games on the site

After seeing all the 5 start reviews and praises, I had high hopes for this game, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite hit the mark for me.

While the game's execution is impressive and is the reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of something lower, the writing was a major letdown. The developer did a good job to make an immersive experience by creating a simulated desktop where you talk with a cast of colorful characters, but this approach is a double edged sword: On one hand, the game puts you in the skin of the protagonist, but then the game’s appeal relies heavily on how relatable and likeable the characters are, particularly the protagonist.

I was aware that the protagonist would be flawed, since the description contains "Avar is an arrogant and rather surly man", and I love flawed characters that can grow and evolve with the story. But even then, the first-person perspective combined with a protagonist who felt like an insufferable teenager that swears and whines every other sentence just didn’t work. I found myself cringing through most of the dialogue that is either inconsequential, or just unfunny.

Still, the execution of the first part is top notch,and you should give it a try since the enjoyment of a story is very subjective. Unfortunately, this one didn't click with me.

[Ch. 2 v2.2]

A gust of fresh air among NTR games. If you are tired of the typical NTR game it will do you great to try this game.

The strongest point is the characters, and since the game is (so far) mostly dialogue, is wonderful that the characters are full of personality and the conversations between them are piss-provoking funny and enjoyable.

The renders are hot; the girls are even hotter, and the NTR will burn your boxer.

Sadly, there aren't many CGs so far and the second chapter feels kind of empty (there will be more content so it's a momentary problem), but it delivers what NTR enjoyers look for with the dialogue and the build-up.

I will be looking for what type of bull the author introduces and how much more content (hopefully NTR) we get from other girls aside from Morgane.

An incredible game that you have to try and kudos to the author for this great concept.

The first 3 updates have been good to really good imo. The game mechanics change from chapter 1 to 2 can be a bit too sudden for those who start it but you quickly get used to it.

The charachters are weird and e-thothy so get used to that being a thing in this game (they do things for excitement or cash). The three main girls have pretty different personalities and its gonna be a way to see them slowly change over time if things happen in the NTR way. Also the girls are not pure in the beginning, they are already kind of slutty/e-thothy and the pictures you sometimes get show this.

Since its 3 updates dont expect too many nsfw pictures yet but the gears of getting them has been set in motion since the last 2 updates so expect more in the next update cause the fuse has been lit.

NTR is unavoidable so dont expect a pure vanilla ending. The NTR from how i seen it can end in a few different ways depending how the FMC's react. This can end in hard or soft ntr. I do have a preferred ending in mind for myself that has not been done in NTR games yet. but i will try to keep that out of this review if the endings are implemented.

For now i give it a 3.5/4 out of 5. I don't give 5/5 till games are completed and if the endings and routes to the endings are great, So for now it gets my recomendation.

So 3.5/4 out of 5 stars and will update this if the endings and route towards them are satisfactory

The game is an absolute gem that you shouldn't miss out on. Its captivating gameplay draws you into the story, making you feel like an active participant in the narrative. I wholeheartedly give it a perfect 10/10 rating. 10/10

Really great game, high quality production. Amazing renders, hot girls, UI and overall the presentation is top-tier. I really like the original idea in the first chapter with cards. The system in second chapter is really creative as well.

Great chemistry between characters, sometimes the dialogue is little bit over the top but it's alright.

The only thing I'm lacking is the amount of renders, with the NTR premise and how hot the characters are I'd like to see way more of them.

A great developer with the right priorities and principles.
The game as a whole is simply fascinating.
NTR through messages gives a strange sense of mystery, opening the way for your imagination.

The only downside for me was the speed of the dialogues. I read fast enough, so I got bored quickly, waiting for the end of the dialogue.

This game is quite unique. The code and the UI of the game are simply amazing, but as a game itself... I just don't get it.

I would describe it as a simulator of random shit happening. And gameplay-wise it's like two games in one:

Part 1:
• 20% of the time you are forced into reading random weird dialogues with three main girls. Are these dialogues interesting? Nope.
• 5% of the time you spend in a weird counterintuitive minigame, where you make choices that do something. The descriptions of these choices tell you nothing, neither the words used in these choices. Some choices affect lust and love stats that do... something ig idk
• 75% is transitions between fucking everything. Even with a finger constantly on skip (ctrl). I get it, it looks beautiful and all, but it would be at least good if there was really something interesting between these transitions
• 0,000001% is a couple of pictures with boobas

Then the game fucking changes completely as we enter part 2. While in the previous part we made choices that affected lust and love of our girls, now these stats are completely gone. Did they matter? Who knows. Anyways, here we go:

Part 2:
• 2 of 7 days of the week you work (new minigame where you distribute tasks to girls). If on both days you gave the same task to the same girl, you get a picture with them in hot clothes flirting or being harassed by random dudes. (no boobas this time, sorry)
• 5 out of 7 days you skip

_______________________
All in all, considering the production quality I can't believe how bad the game itself actually is. I constantly feel as if I'm somehow wrong and don't get it.

Leaving 2 stars for the amazing code, UI and pretty good renders

finally I could try this game since its require windows 10+ to run.
after spending about an hour I concluded this is not my cup of tea.
the MC is a prick. this overuse of wittiness is not cute just annoying.
how can u act like this nonstop it above my pay-grade. theres 3 main girls and they are all act strange. theres no real direction, its just random stuff happening with strange dialogs that try to be funny but its not. the mini-game is the same, again with strange text that I don't get, what is that supposed to tell me? how can I understand this world if its just gibberish.
I get options, but most of the time I don't know what to chose to make sense. sometimes I get events but again, no real continuity, just random stuff. some girl show boobs in live-tv and I can't understand why. is that supposed to be hot? its just ridiculous.

edit: after a PM from dev I decided to continue. Ch.2 is much better.
the Mc is calmer now. more "normal", still a bit odd, but ok.
gameplay is ok, but repetitive, the choices make more sense even if it could be a bit better. everything is smoother. I do however feel its too much linear, with this kind of game I expected more decisions. but so far I can't do anything. theres also a lot of things happening that I can not read and its a bit pity, would have been great to see more scene with the girls. I increase to 3 stars instead of 1 for Ch.2. chapter 1 is still 1 star.
the 3 stars are because of the UI and originaility. the characters are ok and u feel theres continuity when u read the messages.
