RPGM - Completed - Encode Encore! [v1.25] [Golden Pot]

Great trainer that, while time consuming, really gives you more than you'll ever need in terms of variety of reactions, lines, and expressions across all scenes. Heavily recommend that you play on the "easy setting" as well as utilize the guide/walkthrough to learn the necessary skills that will help you cut down on the grind.

my favorite
the story is simple. really, Nenena needs money, and you have to make money to have fun with her, thats all.
the gameplay is well, there isnt really anything to say about it, you keep lust low, make money, have fun with Nenena, repeat. (recommend play it easy mode)
Nenena is cute, beautiful, the dev cooked with their drawing
the sex is fucking good, you can do it at school, house, outside,... many positions, the dirty talk is top notch, really turn me tf on ngl
the sound is stock so okay?
5/5 my fav because im kinda like netori

One of the best games here imo. The best is that the dev plan to do more content for the game ( he's pretty sick atm so might take a while. Let bro rest )

- Easy grind;
- Basic "plot" ( which is good, basic works );
- AMAZING art;
- Static H but top tier nonetheless

You should 100% give this one a try.

Good art. The mechanic is simple but fun to play. The trophy thing, a little bit confused to understand but still a good thing. The corruption is lit, not gonna lie. The best one is pregnancy, holy cow the devs even put the pregnancy into the true ending and the cuck route.

In "Encode Encore" you play as a guy that has a "disease" where he needs to cum multiple times a day. You pay a friendly gyaru that already has a boyfriend to get fap material, and later to have sex with her. But the game is far from the standard boring hentai game with run of the mill hentai plot. It is a well-made, well executed game with plenty of shining elements.

The Good:

• The female lead is great

- Like any game focused on a single girl, who that girl is makes or breaks the game, and in this case, the devs hit it out of the park. The girl is not only cute, but she is also extremely likeable. Even though the plot is a pretty light-hearted hentai plot, I enjoyed reading the dialogue thanks to her character writing, and the good job the translator did.

• Variety of scenes, outfits and endings.

- Despite playing through all the endings, I did not ever feel like any scenes were repetitive. There are plenty of different scenes with different outfits you can choose from. The main fetish you will find in scenes will be Netori, considering the plot. But there are plenty others like Bondage, Footjob, Exhibitionism, Impregnation and Anal. Nothing too hardcore, and pretty much all optional.

• Translation

- The translation is great, I can't tell how many supposed "fan-translation" I have read that are lifeless and filled with grammatical errors. This is the complete opposite. @cactuar I love you, have my babies.

• In-game achievements tripled up as walkthrough and character stat

- There is an achievements system called "trophies" in game, and with each achievement completed, your "confidence" stat goes up, and the descriptions of achievements tell you what to do. Some of the achievements you would have no idea how to complete when you first start, but as you complete the achievements doable for you at the time, the others become available. Fantastically done game-mechanic that made progression feel natural.

The Ugly:

• The "Grinding"?

- I was stupidly grinding jobs while doing the first 2 endings. Which made the game much longer than needed. After you get Ending 3 and unlock the "future shop" you can buy an item that let's you do jobs much faster. If you decide to play the game, don't be like me and just progress assistance level as fast as you can, get ending 3, and then do whatever the hell you want after. Now that I know what to do, the grind is not bad at all, but it could get tedious if you repeat my mistakes. Also, read the "translator notes" in the main post to get a quick guide.

Summary:
"Encode Encore" might not the most polished game with a complicated and innovative plot, and all in all the gameplay elements are pretty standard. But it is definitely one of the most fun games I've ever played. It has a very likeable and cute female lead, wrapped in a light-hearted, simple plot focused on Netori. The translation is great and the gameplay, although nothing mind-blowing, served the game well.

You get to fuck some idiot's girlfriend, and make her fall for you. Netori for the win. Also I love the "very nice and friendly gyaru" trope. 5/5 I love this game.

The right combination of gameplay and sexy times. Although the art is a bit cute for my taste, the game was so well polished and well designed that it didn't really matter. The game did not need top of the line art or sophisticated animations to tell a great story and get you to jerk off multiple times.

Highly recommend it even if the kinks are not to your taste.

A really good game, the grind is not that bad considering you can start an infinite loop of NG+ and carry all stats over, then you can become a sex machine and literally break the gyaru.

The art is great, the voice/audio is quite good, the only kinda bad point being the UI could've been better organized especially if you advance to where you can tell her what to wear and you have to call her on the phone even though she's in front of you.

So yeah, 5 stars.

good. play it on easy mode, honestly. Honestly the translation is nice too. a good RPG maker game.
the grind is a hassle, but some find the many grinding ways in this game fun as well. For me, i played on normal and got a normal ending on my first try, and i had to play with my stats again on the next run. It felt great!
Plot? idc man this girl gets my dick hard. You can also "cheat" and watch the scenes, but honestly thats such a bore... actually feeling like a little shit that has to beg this girl to get a few gropes here and there and then having her addicted to you is a good feeling the game gives through time.

Well-made, although somewhat stereotypical for a netori game with a "wholesome" ending. There's a good amount of content and it's basically what it says on the tin. It's a bit grindy and it's an RPGM game, with all the usual downsides, but it's not the most obnoxious offender. Basically, if you like the LI and this general type of game, you'll probably like this one, and otherwise, it doesn't have much else to offer.

TLDR: Very catering to a specific target but in a good way
Yeah, you pay for the arts, porn, and a love story that you wish it happen to you

Gameplay:
A gallery with extras' extras steps but in tycoon series level of fun

Sex scenes
From Male masochist to vanilla sex to female masochist
something you would expect from NTR, but you are going to be the Netori.
You went from the underdog to The Guy She Told Her Boyfriend Not to Worry About.

This game has one of the best sex scene ever. The sound and the art are perfect. I love the netori story like this and the progress of playing is extremely good. It even has many different things to do so it's very hard to get bored.

Pros:

1. Outstanding Original Character: Features one of the best original female main characters in any H game.
2. Attractive and Engaging FMC: The female main character is beautifully designed and has a great personality.
3. High-Quality Artwork: The art is of excellent quality.
4. Compelling Story and Characters: The story and character development are outstanding.
5. Empowering Gameplay: The game effectively makes the player feel empowered and successful.
6. Satisfying Relationship Dynamics: Successfully stealing the female main character away from her shitty boyfriend is gratifying.

Cons:

1. Gameplay Monotony: Tasks like increasing stats or farming money become repetitive.
2. H Scene Quality: While the art is great, the H scenes lack animation, reducing their impact.

Overall Rating: 4/5. This is one of the best H games available. With animated H scenes and more engaging gameplay, it would easily earn a perfect score. The female main character is exceptionally appealing.

TLDR; One of the best games on here.

Gameplay
This would otherwise put me off because of its grindy aspect, but that is partly my fault for choosing the slower version. ButI think spending all that time made the characters more endearing.

Story
Beautiful! I thought the reluctant/developing romance of the MC and the main girl is both hot and also kinda beautiful. It doesn't end in a traditional manner, but the ending is pretty satisfying and diegetic with the main gameplay itself which I always appreciate.

Erotic
Amazing stuff! The artwork is varied, engaging, and well-paced. It really feels as though you are a man falling in love with a girl who helps him jerk off. And while I initially found the confidence system to be annoying, it ended up really adding to the effect of feeling as though your protagonist is getting more sexually confident.

This is a cg hunt, money grinding h-game that's actually and genuinely worth playing. The gameplay is very simple - collect money to bang the gyaru, manage stamina and lust meters to make every day efficient, and do various jobs to improve your parameters. The game period is 2 in-game weeks before you see an ending and it's recommended you maintain your stats and continue with a NG+ and continue looping until you see everything.

What makes this game special is that a lot of of the scenes are not only unlocked as you improve your relationship with the gyaru, older scenes get additional progression and cgs substantially. In this way it's always worth it to explore and revisit old scenes that in other games you would have never touched.

For example the basic doggy style scene is expanded into 3 additional scenes, and two alternate positions that have their own progression of additional scenes. Because many of the sex options expand in this way there is a breadth of stuff that is drip fed to you so you don't get stuck in a boring, grind loop to find the next new thing until you've reached the near-end point of the game. With this game structure, finding new things to view or to grind stats for is constant.

Grinding achievements (eg. make the gyaru cum from her tits 10 times) are properly rewarded with new sex options and scenes, and the pathway and hint towards reaching the last of the 5 possible endings. Unfortunately the cheevo grind can be definitely felt once you are gearing up to find the fourth ending, which may be a point to where you find a full save if you don't enjoy the grind (there are some items that speed the pace up slightly after you progress enough and start a NG+)

The h-content is fully there - Art style is distinct without sacrificing sexiness, tons of different scenes and positions, lots of costume changing and 3 different types of underwear, dialogue is also great. The only downside here is that there is no voice acting.

Music is fine and decent, maps could've been a tad smaller or mc could've ran faster as there's a lot of walking you have to do

Definitely a game worth playing and a gold standard on how to craft an rpg maker h-game that has no fighting.

In short, everything is done great for what the game aims for.

The only negative thing to point out would be the grind, but even that is not extreme. Only if you want to unlock all secrets that open up in the very last part of the game, you need to grind money, but most content can be obtained in like 3 runs on "slow" progression. IMHO pretty balanced.

The game is simple and doesn't take itself too seriously.
Nice FMC, with a lot of scenes to unlock. Decent translation.
NG+ is a must; it's basically part of the game. With every playthrough, you gain more "assistance" from the FMC and more confidence for the MC, which unlocks more and more interactions.
The scenes themselves also have different layers depending on the "assistance" level.
After a few runs you unlock a secret shop which makes your life easier, i.e speeds up work sessions.

It's a good game that's tedious to play

Gameplay:
While you dont have to do anything difficult, the amount of times that you have to do them if very, very, tedious, if a game makes the sex itself its grind, you quickly lose interest given that you came like 30 minutes ago and your soul has already left your body and you question why you're still playing it
The increase in affection isnt as good as it should be, it's just "OOOOH YOU'RE SO GOOD AT SEX" the moment you unlock the option.

Also, i hate that the game adds false replayability, you get absolutely nothing new but a new ending, your choices are the same, the results are the same, the ending alone is different,yet you're forced to go through the whole game again, absolutely not worth it.

Story:
Basically non existant, aside from the few events there, you wont really see deep character writing or thought provoking philosophy, though i doubt you actually came here for that.
And ending 5 just... came out of nowhere? I guess i shouldnt take it seriously as the devs likely didnt either

Character:
there's only one lol
Nenena is an alright girl for a netori game, weird justification as to why she fucks you, also weird why she chose a shitty boyfriend, and also strangely loyal aswell

scenes:
They're good, sometimes not worth the trouble sometimes but it as it is the game's selling point, they're good for a fap

To be honest, I would have missed this game if it had not been suggested to me in the recommendation thread. The art looks pretty basic, no animations (just slightly shaking images to imitate actions) and a simple story. But I'm glad I gave it a try.

So, let's move on to what I liked about this game.

Dirty talk and dialogue.
I've played a lot of games, but in this one the author has gone all out - this game has some of the most awesome dirty talk. Any shortcomings in the artwork are made up for by the fact that you're reading. Nenena comments on every action the protagonist performs and she does it in a very rousing way. At first, Nenena acts with a slight disapproval, but a note of humor mocking the perverted protagonist, and only at the very end transforms into a sex-crazed slut.

The game uses a lot of tropes from other porn games and I really liked the way Neena reacted to them, often witty with slight tone of humor. Despite the circumstances in which the protagonists find themselves, Nenena behaves, I would even say, realistically.

The heroine's character.
Nenena is a Tsundere, but unlike most of her archetype, she is quite sarcastic and generally behaves much more maturely than the protagonist. Deep down, she is sexually frustrated in her relationship with her boyfriend and soon begins to realize that there might be more to it than just a financial relationship between her and the protagonist.

Considering the circumstances of the beginning of this relationship, some people, like me, might have doubts at first about wanting to interact with Nenena. But once you get started, it's hard to stop, especially if you like tsunderes. Something I really liked is that despite everything the protagonist does to her, she almost always tries to stay in control. Nenena explicitly says that she doesn't want to be the main character's mindless sex toy, but she doesn't mind playing along because it turns her on. I was somewhat upset that despite this claim, she would still lose her grip if you continue to fuck her non-stop. Still, I'm not a fan of mindless zombies at all, and Neena is a pretty colorful character, I wish she'd still be the same.

Overall, I want to say that I found Nenena to be a pretty interesting character and the author managed to make an established archetype less typical.

Sex scenes.
Unlike many games, there is a lot of attention paid to the progression of sex. There is an excellent balance between teasing the player to stimulate their imagination and the act itself. The sex scenes unfold differently at each level of the relationship and have several stages that change them and show you a new art, which is very cool.

Despite not a very large number of images, the game has quite a lot of sex scenes and situations in which you can have sex with the heroine. So those who don't like long progression will be satisfied.

Thanks to the excellently written dirty talk, even the non-penetrative acts are highly erotic. The way the author has handled the censorship here is also satisfying. In all Japanese games, it always looks different, which usually only makes the game worse. But in this game it's not annoying at all, and the protagonist's penis is transparent, which in turn allows you to see what's going on inside

Gameplay.
At first, I found it unusual and interesting, but as time went on and I realized there was no way to get more money, I decided to use MTLtool's cheat. The developer certainly miscalculated the balance here, but I would still recommend trying the first two playthroughs without cheats. After each time, you will return to the beginning of your relationship with Nenena, but you can keep all the stats you have gained. Basically a time loop that you have to complete to get the best ending.

Conclusion.
I can't say that the game is a masterpiece, but it is very well made. Among the things that could be improved are the voice acting, which is absent here, the gameplay and the art. I can honestly say that the gameplay is a bit grindy, there are not enough jobs to earn more money and the idea of looped time quickly loses its appeal. If I were the developer, I would make two modes: infinite and with a time limit (like in the original), but with the possibility of getting the best ending from the first attempt if you play your cards right.
Instead of 2 weeks, I would make it a month, and diversify the game with more plot events, for example adding trips or going to other places in the city, dates, etc.

One last thing, judging by the author's blog posts in Ci-en, he's working on a new game. So I'm definitely going to play it when it comes out.

Thanks god, one of the most fun i've had in a long time. It's simple, but checks all my tastes, simple and fun, would recommend (finished it in one night). The pregnancy content is ending only but doesn´t leave a bad taste to impregnation/pregnancy fans.

Good concept but very boring.

The story is good enough for a netori game but nothing more.

The translation is very good.

The gameplay is very grindy and repetitive I don´t like it at all, it isn´t hard or anything but just too boring.

The art is also kind of boring but not bad.

The MC is very bad I had how little he says or thinks, I would be better if he didn´t have any dialogue at all instead of just a little bit.

The music is generic.

I would recommend trying it, if you like the art.

Great art, probably one of the best I've seen from an rpg maker game. It's a little grindy but worth and I'm not even a big fan of gyarus.
It's somewhat short, you can 100% the game in under 10 hours.
