Others - E-Thots : A NTR game set in a 100% PC interface that is not your current PC, it's another PC inside your PC [Ch. 2 v1.1] [Archipote]

Funny Dialogue? Check.

Actually good game mechanics that tie into both story AND gameplay? Check.

Good CG's? Check.

NTR? Check. (ish)

The Game took me around an hour and a half to complete fully, was fun throughout and somehow I never felt the urge to skip any of the dialogue, Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 had completely different main mechanics and that threw me on a wild spin for a bit before I actually understood what the fuck I was supposed to do but when it clicked, it was a nice feeling, kind of dissapointing that Hard NTR isn't in the game yet but at the same time, the game's early as fuck in development and the developer pumps out an actually fun game so I can't really complain that much

The only thing in future updates would be to make sure the player doesn't have too much empty time on their hands, as doing the girl command minigame on chapter 2 only for two days made the rest of the week empty, especially after I cleared all the dialogue.

9/10
Funny banter.
Great flow and pacing.
Hot dialogues.
And overall a very solid game.

One gripe with it: the tone of the game could be a bit misleading.
At the start, it seemed to me that the MC was acting like a piece of shit - and my first thought was: "Ah, it would be one of these..."
But then other characters started to dish out just as they were receiving, so it was clear - it is just banter all around.
And a really entertaining one. When you get used to it.

//Also I liked the card system much more than a Chapter 2 remake.
- In cards, you have funny, entertaining, and sometimes hot dialogues - with an occasional reward of the hot scene. And that's in every single card.
- In the remake you threw it all away for the sake of... mindless grind?
Although it's hard to call it a 'grind' when you need to do the thing only twice to get a CG - but COME ON. It's a vastly inferior system to what was before that.
The light-hearted writing here is good. Use it.

A very well put together interface, too bad the writing is all incoherent, cringy edgelord crap and this comprises the vast majority of gameplay. It'll give you the odd random 3DCG image after you've sat through a dozen agonizingly bad conversations in the game's discord clone

I have to say this game is remarkably impressive from a technical standpoint. The animations, graphics and overall presentation value are so far beyond what you would see from most games on this site. The dev has done something that most really struggle with around here, and that's carve out both a very unique visual and mechanical identity for their game. Everything feels very original, and you can't say that often.

The game takes place from a desktop, which can seem limiting, but the dev has thoughtfully added several great apps with which to routinely interact. Usually when you have an interface like this it's packed with apps or widgets that are either useless or disinteresting, but almost everything seems to have a fun utility and the store is populated with items that are actually gratifying to purchase. The extra costumes, events, etc. This is such a solid foundation off of which to build a game.

I have to say, content wise, the potential seems limitless for fans of the genre. There's a basic framework for every kind of NTS/NTR here; cheating, extortion, prostitution, corruption, etc etc. and the female characters all look great. Plus this is an ecosystem that seems very easy to introduce new characters without feeling contrived. Also the different avenues through which you can get scenes (Despot, HotHoot, Story Events, Work Day Events) are all varied and add some refreshing multidimensionality to the experience. Hell, even the Twitch moderation minigame is a humorous and novel idea.

All in all great work, really. I really hope this project gets way more attention.

This game is truly AWESOME i loved it! You really nailed the way in which some young people (I think they are young in the game) would behave on social networks in line with their personalities! I love how the girl claims to be obsessed with the MC and yet she is unfaithful to him because she is interested in that thrilling feeling when she is doing it!
As a recommendation, and something that I personally would like to see... Some scene of the girlfriend with the MC's rival, you know? I don't know, him texting her and her falling into temptation and at the end she sends him pictures or something like that, or at the end they end up doing it... It's great, all while she still says she loves the MC unconditionally. It's something I would love to see

Good game overall, the card game is a bit confusing at first but seems to have a lot of consequences. Will have to see in the long term. MC is a bit irritating, but the female models are sexy and charming, each with their own personality. Still have to see how far NTR will go, but the concept is very original and so far well executed.

5/5 for this initial release, and excited to see what happens next

Love the unique UI and gameplay. Art is of course beautiful as is in his other game roselake. So far no NTR that is not avoidable as of the initial release that I found.

Only suggestion is that there should be a gallery mode or way to pick cards that you didn't pick the first time in case you wanted to go see a scene you missed out on. I also didn't know I could skip text using ctrl until the very end, for I forgot to save and had to redo some of it.

I would definitely give it a try! 10/10 recommend!

ARCHIPOTE’s e-thot is a plumply overripe fruit of the counterculture, dripping with the juices of spiritual rebellion, semi-comic posturing, consciousness-raising and all-around freakiness. Hardly a moment passes in this game without a situationist display of outrageousness, it is a dream tableau of the weird and occasionally wonderful.

Unlike his celebrated breakthrough Rosulake Lobelia, this is less like a spaghetti-LSD metacricisme urban dystopia, notionally more political, and more satirical. But the key Archipote tropes are still there: the absurdism, the hedonism, the tpagano- mysticism. Some of the nudity scenes reminded me of the stoned hippy in Savitri Devi novel Ligthning and the Sun talking about establishing “a socialism of the emotions”.

For all that this entirely bizarre game is pre-eminently of its time, some of the more cultish scenes may put you in mind of the Ayahuasca ceremony , with middle-aged people wearing white robes and earnestly "vomiting up" their demons. the tone is very characteristic of Archipote artwork: not deadly serious, but certainly without 21st-century neo puritanisme and desillusion.

There are countless images of superlative weirdness, some of which I can never forget, such as this woman spending her time playing demonic catalysed autistic game like trial of cold steel 4, making the spiritual ascent of the game more hazardous.

As with Losulake Lobelia, some of the contrivances look a bit dated, but this is a key work of gaming’s great showman-provocateur, battling against conformity and dullness.

it's a surprisingly good game, not just a reigns with porn.
story is funny, even if the MC is an asshole but that what's fun
3D is really verygood

I really want to see what happens next, and more scene with morgane

5/5

*edit* - The developer has since updated the game and released the patreon version for people to try out in a good faith effort to remediate many of the issues people had.

Unfortunately, I just think the game isn't for me. As I said previously, it's pretty and the UI is great, but I didn't enjoy the gameplay loop and it got a little tedious a little too fast for me.

I think another issue I have is that the game is a little too irreverent. I appreciate some comedy, but it feels like it's a little over the top (again, personal preference, it's not my game after all).

I'll check in again in a few updates.

--------------------------------------------------------------

It's pretty and it has what seems like a well-designed and implemented UI and game system.

However, I found it shallow, unconvincing and the absolute douchebag of a MC that I'm supposed to associate with really turned me off from the game.

I thought the plot was weak and uninspired and the gameplay was pretty tedious for the most part.

I might take a look in the future to see if it improves, but wouldn't recommend it at the moment.

It's rare to see games in this style, most often they have 200 buttons, most of which are designed to say "not now, mate", or the interface sucks. I really liked that the desktop behaves like a desktop, the interface is nice, finally a quality game.

Although I play mainly female character games, this game is also good, people have their own personality (how much of it can be conveyed through e-dialogues and so on)

The 3D art is also good and there is enough of it.

It's funny that you can change your desktop wallpaper, even though I'm not a fan of AI art (perhaps they are here to avoid copyright)

The gameplay is interesting, I hope in the future more types of agency management will be added to it, or other things will be added to it so that it does not become repertory.

There are practically no bugs, I found one, but it does not affect the gameplay in any way

Not just "skip for porn"
Good 2 hours, I recommend it
