VN - Ren'Py - Falling Undercover: Nox Syndicate [v0.04.0] [Azienda]

it was a very good NTR game, at first i was just think it just like another normal NTR game. i've played dozens of H-games and this is one of the best that i ever played. after play i planning to support the developer

Absolutely loved the mystery aspect of this game. Usually when given the option I tend to look at menus to see what's happening or possibly happening. This game manages to tickle the desire to imagine expertly making me berate myself at times for going though and changing the setting so see what was happening. It was heart pulling not knowing what was happening and fighting the desire to just find out made my playthrough that more enjoyable. I blew through the entire reading in a single sitting from how hooked the formula had me. Highly recommend.

Mystery NTR is really hard to find and good Mystery NTR is even more difficult to find. I'm glad this popped up on my radar. The story isn't that draining. The villain isn't a soulless asshole. The art is great and the fl is amazing. Def give this a try. My only qualm is that video feed is super blurry, its almost useless to see that action to portray that mystery but other wise great

Played Version 0.04

I lost interest in many adult games after years of playing, but this one revived the lust in me.

- Beautiful and loyal wife with a strong personality.
- Top 2DCG quality with animations.
- Good enough plot and Build Up.
- Balanced pace, things are already hot in episode 3-4 .
- Unique feature: Current status of the wife body and emotions with live X-Ray, I really loved this, don't forget to check everytime.


Notes:
- I wish the little men and the blondy whore to be involved with MC.
- The Intro is long with many boring dialogues, be patient.
- Choices should make impact in the long term, not just for the next scene.

4 chapters in... And it's great, it reminds me of good old Lilith glory days. It is really more interesting than previous novels by Azienda becourse there is more interesting global plot with much more at stake.
Highly reccomend it.

Great storyline/gameplay.

A tad wordy for my liking, but reading is good for you. Needs 200 characters so ill fill in more.

Not enough westernized versions of this type of game. I dont want to use a weird player, Renpy is good enough for me.

Very promising start.
3 Chapters are out rn. 4th is coming.
I think the writing is really good in terms of dialogue.
I think the pace could actually slow down a bit and explore different pathways.
sexy outfits, toys, etc.
I like the approach of making Nova (lol) be

[Reviewing the v0.03.0]

For now there isn't much content sex wise, but this game feels really promising, there is already quite a good amount of story, the game looks great, has great writing and feels really polished.

Both the Lore page and the status page are really cool and add something that other games don't have.

For now the game is a strictly linear VN but in my opinion that's not necessarily a good thing.
I already love this game, best of luck to the dev(s)

Great concept, game dev has good writing and design. Would like to see more choices or control. Character development is pretty good for this genre, it really elevates the game. I'm also impressed with the amount of content the dev delivers in such a short amount of time.

(Reviewing v0.03.0)
I was looking forward to play this given the high ratings so far, but I fell hard.

On the bright side, the art is looking good. It's a style that won't be for everyone but it's done well.
The lore page is a cool implementation that comes from some mainstream games and is a nice thing to have here.
That is it for the good.

The rest is really bad.
The story is nonsense and the two MCs are absolute idiots. The "corruption" so far is nowhere close to that, it's straight up harrassment.
The writing, feels like the dev decided to attempt to replicate Leo Tolstoi in every single scene, but without his talent, making the game's length padded to boredom.
The game is a total VN (at least so far) with very few choices, none of which has any impact.

I'm assuming the devs have made great games before and is the reason they seem to have a following, but that certainly won't be the game that will make me join in.

Updated!


Azienda is one of the few NTR studios/dev teams that plays at the top level. Their last game Turning the Page had great production value, amazing art and animations, great writing and consistent updates. The corruption pace was very good and the female POV was also great. It fell a little short at the end though and there were some other shortcomings as well. The male POV (mystery NTR) was mediocre, the story felt too soft and the corruption of the fmc felt way too easy, taking away from the overall NTR experience (the corruption pace was great though!). Personally I prefer darker NTR stories with real struggles, drama, the story moving back and forth,...

Now here is the new game from Azienda and the premise couldnt be hotter/better/more aligned with my kinks (strong, emanicpated female character acting like an ice queen, standing up for whats right, independent and smart VS. a cunning but lazy, bully chauvinist who is mostly an egoistic opportunist and who sees women as mere objects).

Overall there are a lot of things done greatly - such as the art, the new - very simple but nicely integrated and optimized - gameplay features, the dialogues, the storytelling, the world building. Overall the production value is insane, everything is on a very high production level compared to other NTR games.

Apart from all that - this was just the start. There are still a lot of possible pitfalls. Here are my hopes for the games future development:
- Stick to everything that was great in TtP (their previous game), e.g.

• a lot of art even for transitions, a lot of clothing changes
• set up of lewd scenes (length, number of CGs, implementation, dialogues, dirty talk,...)
• corruption pace (the corruption speed and process across the story) - it was done very nicely, though it could use some unexpected shake ups and a little more back and forth
• focusing on the right things (e.g. not too many characters. a lot of details,...)
• I loved some of the scenes especially from the beginning up to the later stages in the game (following H scenes come to my mind immediately: School showers, gym, playing social games, while MC is presenting something in class, sex in the room next to the class room,...)

- work on TtPs shortcomings

• while there were cool scenes I felt some of them were not fully utilized (e.g. having sex in the room next to the classroom - while MC is giving lessons in the classroom next door and beeing irritated by the sounds,...). This is closely connected and brings me to:
• The way the scenes were staged was a bit to linear. I would love to see more split screens, more timelapse lewd scenes, the use of pop ups (as in Navigating the Rift or Survival Mission Z), the use of maybe online forums, something like only fans, web cam calls, phone calls,... Maybe I am going a bit over board here but there is just so much that could be easily implemented. Obviously this is also closely connected to making the Male mystery NTR POV more viable:
• more mystery NTR scenes
• lean into darker more dramatic plot pieces
• make the struggle real and not something that just falls into place
• give us some unexpected story twists

Overall Mrs. Pages corruption was IMO just way too easy. That was why especially in the end I lost a lot of interest. That might be something to keep in mind for FUNS.

Thats my cue - for switching the focus from TtP to FUNS and stop the comparison. The demo and first update of FUNS were very promising. It surely sets high expactations - thats always tough to handle as a dev team but I try to keep mine in check. I want to elaborate some of the thoughts I have on it.

• I absolutely love small details such as that the antagonist calls the FMC by another name (Nova) cause he does not care - and the FMC`s reaction is great - it drives her mad. More of small things/details like this please!
• already some groping/harassment scenes - I would love to see many more - it plays into the mystery NTR (you can easily make scenes out of it) and jealousy of the MC as well as it suits the downward looking way of the antagonist. Also it really shows the corruption process (how did the fmc react to harassment in the beginning vs. middle vs. end?). Personally I never get enough of such scenes and I feel almost all NTR games underdeliver in that category. And yet it is logical - the first third of the corruption process is always the most exciting - precisely because of such scenes.
• !important! To raise tension make the FMC (and also the male MC) fight back in a smart way as well! IMO here you are already falling a bit short (same mistake as in TtP). The FMC is not fighting and challenging the antagonist on a believable level (even if she is defiant and offended like a little child). If you stay on that path IMO things will get boring after a while. The FMC should be more engaged, she could give the antagonist a slap in the face for example, if he is too pushy, giving the story more turning points and ups and downs. Make more smaller steps (e.g. "accidental groping" which the antagonist lazily covers as an "accident" making her more and more used to it over time). All this foreplay will make the final NTR much more satisfying and juicy...
• play with the contrast between the characters (feminist vs. chauvinist/political correct vs. radical/...), its a perfect playground for humiliation, mocking and bullying
• extend and make more use of gameplay elements you already implemented (the status screen)
• implement new smaller gameplay elements (pop ups for mystery NTR/male POV as in Navigating the Rift or Survival Mission Z, make use of web cam calls (e.g. Sword Art Online), phone calls, heart rate monitor, web cam calls, monitor suite, drones, bugs,....) to make up for great mystery scenes or interactions (involve the player!!)
• surely a codex/compendium is great for world building and such - still I am not quite sure if its wasted energy here. There are far more important or in the context of a NTR porn games useful elements that could be implemented such as the ones mentioned above.
• I am also no fan of this cliche small sized penis of the MC. It makes things too easy again. I find that HangoverCat did it very nicely with Harry`s best piece. The FMC`s felt a difference but it was more in their mind after all, not in the real size. IMO, if you make a difference, you shouldn't make it so comically absurd. Just a small difference sometimes goes a long way Listening to the feedback, this really might be worth a patch...
• Overall I do hope the male MC wont be a total douchebag/softy and he will actually also fight back in a smart, maybe even cunning way (giving Vargas reasons for Luna to see Aiden from a different maybe not so positive perspective)

I know there is a lot of advices and critical points in this - but only because I think Azienda`s work and the game itself are really great all in all and I really want to see them succeed. Thats why I am focusing more on what has to be done to make it successfull instead of lamenting about everything that already is awesome - if it wouldnt be I wouldnt waste that much time on this. And obviously I want to selfishly experience the next NTR MASTAPIECE. The foundation for such have been laid, still - now the real work begins.

However things will progress - A very big THX to Azienda for their hard work on all the games they have done and will do in the future. They are playing a very important role for the whole NTR community worldwide and I wish them all the luck they need to succeed. Let the FUNS begin!

Cheers!

I truly believe the protagonist's design is outstanding — it's without a doubt the main highlight of the game. Right now, there's barely any gameplay, and the impact of your choices feels minimal, with little to no real consequences. That said, this is clearly a very early development version, so it's understandable, and we’ll have to wait and see how it evolves.

The quality of the scenes is excellent, and the setting helps make the situations more immersive and engaging. My biggest concern is that it might end up being a “one-way” game, where choices don’t really change anything in the end.

The one thing I’d really like to see change is the character who is obsessively pursuing the protagonist. I’d love if there were another option besides Vargas — maybe the guy who’s with them during the infiltration. It would be great to have some variation in that dynamic.

Giving this a 4/5 for now.

Positives so far:

• Improved art from Turning
• Love Luna's design (Like the cold personality)
• Effort to build up lore is appreciated
• Status screen is a great feature
• Spoiler

Mid so far:

• While I do appreciate the lore and world building, I hope the actual plot gets a bit more interesting going forward.
• Aiden's kinda dumb.

Negatives so far:

• There is way too much internal yapping during h-scenes. This was a turn-off for me starting with Turning and it seems to be the same now.

Others:

• Aiden's micropenis is funny asf. My man's dying and gonna lose his wife, didn't have to do him dirty like that.

Final note:

Only 0.2 but I can already tell this game has insane potential, this may be Azienda's best work yet. The art is a serious upgrade from their previous games and is top notch even compared to non-NTR games, the buildup is slow but well-done, and the POV system is a genius implementation which allows players to cater their experience to their wants. Overall looking forward to future updates!

Very erotic so far. I'm loving the fact that the antagonist wants his cock and balls to be treated in a rough manner, that is very erotic to me. The NTR atmosphere feels oppressive in a very good way. This is a great start, and I hope the game turns out great.

Art: 5/5 Gorgeous art. The sprites look beautiful, the other CG's are also great. Honestly these are some of the most gorgeous sprites I have ever seen. This is really something special. You can see that they put a lot of effort into creating/commissioning this art.

Story: 1/5 Nonsensical, stupid, rage-inducing. This is the lowest and dumbest form of NTR. Also the MC is such a brainless idiot and I don't even have to lie or insult him to point out that he has a micropenis... because surprise. HE GOT ONE.

Writing: 1/5 Really bad... It's slop. Worse than the average Webnovel.

Gameplay: 1/5 Gameplay in a visual novel? Yes! The engine is laggy, you can't even speed skip properly to try out the very limited choices. They managed to fuck up a skip function. What has existed for 30 years has been butchered.

Overall, I don't recommend this game, but I have to honestly admit that the Art is peak.

Also, this game's duration is laughably short, and even after two updates, there is barely any content in it. Expect to wait for a few years until you see Sex. I'll update this Review, maybe this game can still develop into something decent.

So far, I'm really interested in the story and character dynamics this game has to offer. Also the in-game features like the codex and the status bar have peaked my interest in this game. If done right, this could be one of the best games in the NTR genre available on this platform. Really looking forward to it, and all the best to the developers.

I just love the fact that the developer actually put some care in the mystery of the netorare. Not only are you asked if you only want to see the MCs perspective or a more "omnipresent" POV, you can also change how much info is shown to you in the character hub of your wife. on top of that the story progresses really well, not too fast but also not quite in the "slow burn" category. Definitely excited to see what the next updates have in store!

Seen the creator's other work, didn't like them at all but there is clear artistic improvement here. The only downside is there's basically no content, definitely a slow burner here. Not many scenes at all and barely any corruption. Give it a try but this game might not get good till the very end. :/

i was skeptical at first that a game with so little content could have 5 stars, but now i see why.
the writing is great, i LOVE mystery ntr. it's so much fun, not knowing if you're getting cucked or if something else is going on, it makes my mind run wild. the status system adds another layer to it because you're just left wondering and tempted to change the system just so you can watch a number go up by one.

the art is also pretty good. i think Luna is an absolute babe. i love her lips, stomach, and hair. these parts are my favorite parts of a woman, next to ass and tiddies ofc.

just so you know - in the current state, there is nothing really for you to nut to, so be warned if you're loking for a quickie (but who comes to vnovels for quickie?)
