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

Version: 1.07
Playtime: 7 Hours (Completed as of v1.07) - 100%

Overall Review: Fun game with unique in-game mechanics and interesting story. Art was great too, nothing much to complain except a bug where a scene couldn't be played and you had to restart the game. There are two difficulties Normal/Quick, I'd say there was barely any difference. Gameplay was chill barely no rush. One minor complaint is the tools (After reaching E3) are barely explained on what they do but you'll kind of get gist of it, well, most of it though.

I liked the game enough and even 100% the game. Good scenes and the time loop stuff is a good concept. Game is pretty grindy but it tells you straight up so you know what you are getting into. The NTR stuff is you cucking the boyfriend which isn't too heavy and more like hidden sex also the bf is portrayed as a scum bag who cheats so don't feel bad about NTRing the dude. I liked the progression of the gal and the scenes take a bit to get but they are good (maybe not enough for the grind but whatever). There are 5 endings which are kind of hit or miss. The forums have guides which will help ya get all of the endings/scenes since some of them has some weird prereqs but none the less its a good game.

I really enjoyed this one!

I liked the art/content. At the time of review you are able to reach the multiple endings. The trophy's are a little bit grindy as others have mentioned, using a cheat engine really made it more enjoyable. Would have been better if they introduced time skipping before the final trophy

Can't wait for the next update!

Good shit. It's a little grindy, not too much- but all the best netori needs a little bit of a grind the same way incest porn needs someone screaming "step-brother" over and over.

Christ, I felt that summarized everything. If you're into Netori this game hits all the right spots.

Hidden gem, great mechanics. Not as grinds as some say and an actual story. I highly recommend. The base game was great and the encore edition only makes it better. This should be a top game on here. I'm shocked it isn't more well respected.

This is obviously subjective, but I quite like the art and the premise of the game, so that inherently elevates it in my opinion. The porn is actually well integrated with the gameplay, which is a huge plus compared to most porn games on this site, although not necessarily done perfectly at times. However, this game is a massive grindfest. On the normal setting, it will take several hours to get all the content, most of which is grinding work at stores and repeating sex scenes you've already seen. The saving grace is that this grinding is rewarded with new content. There is lots of content that gradually unlocks throughout the game. That being said, I would still strongly recommend the use of a cheat mod to skip the tedious grinding.

This game is pretty good, but it's unnecessarily grindy and the reset mechanic makes no sense.

Basically, you have 2 weeks to complete your goal, which seems completely impossible. then you can start again for another 2 weeks, but your stats carry over. Just make it go on after 2 weeks, this is pointless!

Then the first 2 or even 4 weeks are just grinding. It's not explained very well, but once you get the hang of it you just repeat the same steps again and again. it's a lot of waiting.

The art, sound, story, and dialogue are all pretty good. This could be a great game if the grind was fine.

I played this on the easiest difficulty btw. 3/5

I'll start this by saying "I don't like Netorare"... which is good, because this isn't Netorare, but it's 'cousin', Netori.
You aren't the guy getting cucked nor the girl, but the guy who gets the girl.
And the best thing, no guilt built on it either, because the girl's boyfriend is a cheating asshole jackass who deserves it.

The art is good, the flow is good, the translation isn't bad (though I barely read anything by perma holding ctrl key to skip)

If you are going to play it though, I recommend getting the MVMZ Cheat for RPGM games, since it works for this game and having the ability to just increase you action point, give yourself gold and increase your maximum lust and stamina does wonders for you to enjoy this game.
10/10 will save and play again a few times.

This is a really good game but either it doesn't explain itself very well or I'm a dumbass (which it should have expected and therefore still doesn't explain itself very well lol). The character progression, the sandbox, the art, the corruption, the scenes - truly a netori masterpiece (AKA you steal the girl and make her your eager cock sleeve) in the making.

I'm really only knocking a star off because I had to cheat to progress, even in quick mode. Again, could be me, but after playing through the 2-week cycle twice will full carry over and still being stuck at confidence, like, 9 or some shit, I had enough. Even after cheating in ridiculous amounts of money, stamina, and action points, it still took me a while of trial and error to figure out how to get confidence above 24. I can't imagine how long it would have taken me without cheats.

So yeah - Based on that last paragraph this game should probably get 3 stars from me, but it was a really unique experience and just a really solid game. I am hopeful it will get better, maybe easier? So yeah, I'm going to give it 4 today and hope to give it 5 in future.

Easy 4 stars. Treat it as a 4.5.

The one star dropped is for the simplicity of the game, and how the game doesn't reach much outside the limitations of RPGM. In short, it's a lot of walking around maps and pressing Z, but in a good way.

This game avoids all the obvious pitfalls so many other games fall into: There is no combat, there is gameplay (though it's a simple game of grinding up stats), and the environments are small enough to not make you waste time, while effectively communicating the "space" of where the game takes place. No bullshit, and no unnecessary inconvenience, and instead the time has been spent fleshing out things that enhance the fantasy of the game.

There is one interesting mechanic, where the goal of the game is to keep your lust as low as possible by managing to "relieve" yourself as often as possible, ie. giving you gameplay-rewards for getting to the sexy stuff. The thing you're doing, is the thing the player wants to do. That's how you build a game with a strong theme.

The CG's are pretty good, and there's attention on all the right places on details of clothing, facial expressions, stat-tracking etc. Even has some writing for the main heroine that connects to the fantasy that the game wants to invoke, how 'bout that. Nothing you've not seen before, but it's kind of all you need for a simple porn-game.

Simple and easy to get into. I hate sandbox games but I played this one till I could get ending 3. There are 5 endings but I haven't tried to get the last two. My only complaint is there's not more content

What a great game. Definitely in the top 10 of my uncurated list of great h-games.

Story 6/10

Pretty straightforward story. You have a disease that makes you produce too much sperm so you need to constantly ejaculate. Your friend, Nenena, wants money to buy her boyfriend an expensive wallet. So you solve each other problems by paying her for "favors".

There's 3 endings and there's no happily ever after ending. 1 is nothing happens, the other 2 are continued sex.

The reason I'm rating the story so high for such a simple story is because of Nenena's dialogue. She has a great attitude. She's super chill, down to earth, and just it's just overall great to read her dialogue. The things she says are just fun and sexy.

Gameplay 8/10

The gameplay loop is 1 day, you get action points to spend on either earning money, earning stats, or sexing it up. After 2 weeks the game's over but you can start over from day 1 with all stats carried over.

Honestly, the game's still grindy. You have to spend a full 2 weeks or even more just grinding your stats up. That being said, the game has a slow and fast mode, where I played slow.

The map is nicely sized for what the game is. You're not running around like a chicken with its head cut off but you do run around finding Nenena around town.

The game's pretty good with tutorials. Talk to everyone because they all tell you how to play the game correctly.

As you trade money for favors with Nenena, the favors escalate. The pacing of favors to escalation is also well done. That part wasn't grindy. Save for the grinding if you know what I mean ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

Art 8/10

The art is what attracted me to this game. I absolutely love the thick eyelashes look. Nenena herself is cute and sexy.

There's a decent amount of scenes that vary with decent dialogue that really gets you going.

Overall 7/10

Great game. Nenena is the ganguro girl next door. It's a pretty short game which took maybe 3 hours to beat.

If this game had voice acting that'd really be the cherry on top of the cake.

Lastly, I would like an ending in which Nenena breaks up with her boyfriend and ends up with you. Which I hear may be coming in an update to this game soon.

One of the better RPG maker games I've seen.
Got all ending, was overall very impressed.

Game is relatively short scene collecting simulator.
It has no walls of pointless text, walking around from point to point is fast.

I think even those who are not a fan of netori might find this game enjoyable.
Main heroine is easy going gyaru, (which is right up my alley) dialogues usually comedic, enjoyable, and, what is important - short.

Art is very good, if you like that type of sprites (I do). There is usually more than 1 sprite per action, which is always better than static CG imo.
Author is also planning to do animations in future, which will look awesome in his artstyle I think.

Overall I found progression very enjoyable. As you progress Nenena will allow you to do more things with her, and already unlocked options will also change accordingly.

Biggest con I found is pause between actions while doing jobs. This element will waste your time the most. Just let it be skippable like the rest of the text, or just skip all action all together if you reach lust threshold, where you can't fail it anyway

I expected it to be much worse, but liked it a lot in the end, will definitely keep an eye on this author!

Corrupting an already slutty gal girl.

I do love me some gal girls, and playing the big dicked nerd stealing the girl from the jerk boyfriend is a fresh breath of air. I was fully expecting the nerd to be cucked hard, but instead he bangs the gal girl into leaving her dickhead of a boyfriend. And hey, so long as you got the cash, she's pretty much willing to do anything you request.

Speaking of which, gal girl here won't start out spreading her legs for you. You have to build up your relationship with her to gets more intimate options like that, until then you'll have to be fine with jerking it to her panties, cumming on in her hand, and feeling up her body. On top of this, you'll also earn more overworld options the further you progress with the girl. You might only be able to flip her skirt at the bus stop at first, but later on you'll be pounding her from behind while her jerk boyfriend stands around obliviously next to her.

The gal girl herself, besides being naturally sexy, will slowly come to accept that this nerd with a giant dick and unlimited cum supply is way better than her boyfriend. She doesn't just fall for your manhood, she falls for you romantically and one ending does have her straight up leave her boyfriend for you. The other two endings being her moving on from your little arrangement, or maintaining the agreement but continuing to keep her boyfriend around as her main love interest.

Played for about half an hour. Toke some odd jobs. Increased stamina, recovery of stamina and maximum amount of actions per day. And that's about it. Yeah, the dude you play as also harasses some gyaru, but it's really basic and boring. So, in other words, this sucks.

Truly enjoyed the game. The cheating aspect was nice though I wish you could truly steal her from her bf by making her dump him. The work was tedious to get to the content but was overall enjoyable once I was able to get there. The fact I still have to spend money on her for any scene and she was fully corrupted was also annoying. Outside that, I enjoyed the "Story". Good game, hope to see more work like it and maybe an update here to expand on this already good foundation.

Really great little game. Nenena is such a charming girl too with some great art, great dialogue, and great H scenes. Honestly didn't care about the 'cheating' aspect since it's sort of implied if you pay attention that the boyfriend is kind of a dick.

Best tip for players is to use the first playthrough to build up stats, and make sure you find the 3 secret NPC's that give two important stat buffs as well as a useful skill. Then put your eyes on the prize for second or third playthrough.

Normally I'm not an NTR kind of guy. It's not my kink. I hate being forced to play as the woman cuckolding a waste-of-space pathetic kind of guy that I have to pretend to care about.

This one is more kind in that regard. You play as the dude she's being unfaithful with. And the cuckolded dude is a douche-bag that has it coming.

I like that. It means you resonate with the protagonist's feelings and stand on the same page as him, which helps with immersion.

The gameplay is grindy indeed. Though once you manage to get the ball rolling it gets easier and it flows nicely, right up to the point when you start wishing you could "work 10 times harder" to earn money with less inputs. Then it feels grindy again, but by that time you're almost done with the game.

The art's cute. You can definitely fap to it.

Finally, I liked the characterisation that was given to the heroine. She's likeable and charming, despite being an airhead coping with her love of good sex.

Solid 4/5 for me.
I feel like this game can't reach 5 stars because the gameplay concept is a bit flawed. So despite the execution being pretty good, the game can't go any higher due to the inherent flaws of its conceptual idea.

Regardless... A pretty good game.

PRO TIP: your work success rate is related to your horniness. If your horniness gets too high, it becomes harder and harder to earn money. Which doesn't help because you kinda need money to lower your horniness.

Though you can masturbate at your house with porn if you find yourself without money. But as a new player I didn't know this, so I thought I had gotten myself softlocked (since I was failing to earn any money due to horniness and couldn't lower it without it).

I'm being generous with a 4, but with what's being offered it's pretty good. A short netori game that'll take a hour or two to complete, you corrupt the gyaru using your hard earned money and time to help her get a Gucci wallet. It's not exactly A1 writing there, but for all its horny and comedic purposes it's good enough. There's a good amount of scenes in different locations with different positions. Not too much mind you, since it's the same three sprites for say, missionary. Artwork was decent as well.

Negative side of the game would be the grind. The failure and success rate to working jobs just made the grind process more tedious. Getting the money is one thing, but grinding your energy and AP was even more so. Not much of a problem if you run through a save editor, but even then there's a full save that comes with the DL.

Progression was slow burn, I enjoy that and the escalation of events went really well. Tho it was a short game so not for people looking for a long game. Looking forward to more from this particular developer/creator.
