VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Girlfriend Tapes [v0.9] [BootyProfessor]

I found out about this game looking for NTR recommendations, but by god did this game not live up to the praise or expectations. It's such a letdown that I made an f95 account just to write this review.

General (mostly) spoiler-free summary: It's a male-POV only western NTR, with an is-she-isnt-she-cheating mystery as the main focus, which is an interesting premise. The art is honestly pretty good, aspects of this game are well done and there are some standout moments, but the rest ranges from mediocre to downright terrible. The characters are not that good, the plot is bad and forces the MC to make some absolutely boneheaded decisions despite the amount of choices you're given, and the tone is beyond inconsistent. I cannot get past how genuinely atrocious this is - the story starts with a dude called Libido-kun being hunted by the feds for his magic smart phone and around twenty minutes into the game the girlfriend character is info dumping about an extremely serious and traumatic topic for her. If you can look past all that and are that desperate for this specific type of NTR, I'd recommend this game, otherwise a hard pass.

Getting into spoilers now. My biggest gripe with this game is that there's no way to actualy engage with the mystery presented. The MC confronts his girlfriend, Mia, about lying about her past near the beginning of the game without any player input, but you are unable to confront her about anything that actually transpires over the course of the game until the very end. The MC ponders confronting her but decides not to with zero player input. This actually happens at a couple of points even when you do get a choice, if you didn't optimize your route then the game acknowledges your decision but forces you into the opposite choice regardless. And unless you optimize for "willpower", the only route is the MC wanting to be cuckolded after finding concrete proof of Mia cheating. I do not mind that NTR is unavoidable, but having the MC want it despite choosing the contrary absolutely destroyed the carefully crafted sense of angst, intrigue and dread of having to confront her again that the game had built up pretty well up to that point.

As mentioned, the characters are also plain bad. The jock character, Gianni, is just a straight up asshole with no other depth to him. Mia flip-flops between genericly naive and distant with some admittedly good dialogue in the sex scenes. Nothing about her cheating is actually explored, something the game had plenty of chances to do if the MC actually ever spoke up! The gamer buddy, Ramón, was surprisingly alright. The rest of the side characters don't stick out at all so him being decently written, with the twist about him and Jenna near the end, was a nice surprise. And oh boy, Riley the childhood friend is a whole other can of worms...

I did not take the "Riley Route" on my first run. The first choice to spend time with her (the MCs childhood friend mind you) has him cheat on Mia out of the blue - I probably don't need to explain why that is beyond stupid to add at the very start of the game. There is no way to interact with her beyond the minimum outside of accepting her sexual advances, but those interactions aren't bad. Her carefree surface nature and open sexuality are contrasted with a few moments of vulnerability that belie further depth. I ended my first playthrough with the MC getting together with Riley after she was booted from the threesome, which was a decently satisfying ending despite my disappointment at being forced onto the "cuck path".

Now, what does the "Riley Route" entail? Fucking optimizing again - you need to accept almost every single advance on top of not getting on the "cuck path" to end that route, and while the sex scenes are some of the best in the game, her character suffers a ton. She unironically says how MC is so much nicer than other guys as a compliment during sex for fuck's sake!

I genunely hate complaining about things being "problematic", but it feels like it's been written by someone who either mindlessly leaned into porn tropes, doesn't understand how relationships work, or an incel. There's a choice where Riley gets propositioned for sex by a couple of guys - you can leave them be or claim she's your girlfriend. The latter choice makes sense if you're on the Riley Route, but if not? She's not anybody's partner, she's done this enough times before, it's her choice, why in the actual FUCK does the game take away "willpower" for not saying anything? Likewise, the only way to stop Mia from cheating at a festival isn't to talk about it or convince her not to go or anything, it's to barge into a club she's partying at and intentionally drink so much that the MC ends up hospitalized. I think it's telling that you can't confront Mia earlier, because writing a damaged relationship is much harder than having the MC be a shmuck. The way relationships are handled is shit and, in a genre that is about relationships being painfully broken, it makes all the pre-existing character and choice issues that much worse.

All in all, the stuff I haven't talked about yet is the best the game has to offer. The beach trip is the highlight of the game in how it slowly ratchets up the anxiety of Mia cheating with some really good scenes to boot. The art is pretty good too, with some decent dialogue during most of the sex scenes. But after a couple of playthroughs, plus some scene hunting to complete the gallery, this game did not live up to the hype at version 0.9, nor do I think a 1.0 is going to fix the structural issues this game has.

This is a great slow burn NTR where it actually develops over the course of the whole story and your girlfriend doesn't instantly turn into a slut for no reason. Time is spent to develop the characters, a lot of scenes, and a good progression into the MC finding out his girlfriend is cheating. Hope the author comes back to finish the game someday.

Very nice art, story, plot and writing. The game really delivers in terms of the story and setting the scene with slow progression and some unpredictable twists. Overall really enjoyed the game, but it felt bit short and as it is abandoned cannot rate it highly, with more time invested it would be amazing game.

Good if youre into ntr, post nut clarity hits like a truck.
personally i like ntr porn since taking someones girl gives me this rush of dominance but seeing it from a cuck perspective like this is depressing. I got to point where hes just straight up getting cucked in front of him and stopped playing, nutted to something else and i felt disgusting and wrong afterwards.

art quality isnt all that good but damn they do a good job making it feel like youre getting cheated on.

A few hours in, I wound up hating the 2 main girls so much that the revenge + break up options felt oddly satisfying. A lot of good NTR content with disloyal hoo-ahs, but don't let the presence of choices fool potential share/swing enthusiasts - these are street girls. Would have enjoyed further revenge on G and the girls as a heel-turn MC with an iron-cock suit if development continued.

For most NTR's, you have to turn your brain off in order to make it make sense. This one is definitely no exception. Playing as the cuck MC who no one likes, you watch as your thottie bestfriend bangs everyone but you, and have your GF taken from you by the chad of the story.

NTR fans will like the story, with others being indifferent at the best. What really pulled through was the artwork and scenes itself. Pretty good overall, but would still give a 3/5 in grand scheme of things.

This VN is perfect for NTR lover like myself. The art is amazing, interesting character and amazing storyline. Normally not a fan of VN but this one is great.

Look forward to this amazing series and what future it hold, Definately in my top 5 NTR adult VN at the moment.

Its a show about dating an onlyfans girl (basically). Protag is a beta male, the women are sex machines, the art is inconsistent, things just happen at random pacing due to the update by update format. I wasn't impressed. If its your cup of tea, feel free to enjoy. But I don't find much thrill in dating an onlyfans prostitute lmao

When I first played the game, it felt like it had a lot of potential. While the choices you are given seem meaningful at first, there seem to only be three paths in the game, and one of them just ends the game early. It felt like there was an attempt to write in-depth characters, but the characters still feel very one-dimensional, and your choices don't seem to influence how the story plays out, merely how much of the story you see.
It's pretty apparent early on that your girlfriend is cheating, but you really have no meaningful way to talk to your girlfriend about it. If they implemented a path where you could actually confront her about it without ending the game, I think it could lead to a lot of very interesting path choices.
The artwork and story pacing seem good, which earns it an extra star from me, but it doesn't do enough to save the game from poor character development and limited path choices.

This actually a pretty decent game - great art, average to good written dialogue, scene variation based on choices. It's like a smaller, NTR focused GGGB.
My main issue with the game is that the MC's communication issues are stretched a liiiil too far, and it starts to get a bit repetitive in the second half.

EDIT: On further play, the above isn't true. That's only if you get stuck on the pure cuck path (difficult to tell which is which, because some of the options are backward ass). There's quite a bit of variation, and the childhood friend romance path is a rare romantic femdom story. That's basically my favourite porn genre. There are so few things catering to it.

5/5 This is definitely one of my favorite NTR VN. This one is hopefully when it fully released gonna be a masterpiece. While the NTR is leaning towards more to the degenerate things like humiliation, it doesnt goes too far where u feel grossed out like the girl become super tanned with tattoos+ piercing with blonde hair pregnant while having sex with multiple ugly bastards thats where my pp go soft. I guess where u draw the line is different for everyone. But for me its perfect.

The story is great. well NTR storyline are always pretty simple, you get cucked and you enjoyed it, the end. But NTR is about how the delivery is, the script, the dialogue. and this one is definitely engaging, keep me glued to the screen the whole time. The MC is great for an NTR game, i really enjoyed how his character progress.
Keep up the great work, and i wish this game will be a huge success for the devs!

I usually don't rate games unless I find them 5/5. However, I just wanted to warn naive people like me that this isn't a game where likable couples end up swinging and that the "male friend", mentioned in the description, isn't a friend of anyone. He's a douchebag who only cares about getting his dick wet. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Going into this, I read a few comments complaining about ntr and MC being a cuck. I always roll my eyes at comments like that, because I feel it's on you to know what you're getting yourself into. And while I don't particularly seek out or enjoy ntr, I also don't mind swinging and sharing in games as long as the parties are willing (that goes for male and female chars).

So, ignoring those comments, I played the game anyway and holy shit I feel like an idiot. This game left a horrible taste in my mouth with the way the characters treated the MC. I've played games where chars LITERALLY force the MC to wear a diaper, that didn't frustrate me as much as this. Why? Because in those games, it's established right from the start what the MC is. In this game, it gives the illusion of choice, but rips it away and spits on you for even thinking you had any. That is to say, the MC is weak, and spineless no matter what route you choose. He gets his ass beat in the confront gf route, and he gets verbally abused in the massive cuck route.

I went into this thinking, "it'd be cool if Biggus Dickus (someone in the ratings called him that and I think its hilarious) and the MC slowly became pals who (through coaxing or legitimate conversation) convinced their gfs to try swinging. I expected Mia and MC to be tentative at first and the childhood friend and BD to be a bit more open and funnily enough, that's kinda what happened during the daring scene at the end of the game, which is BACKWARDS. This is AFTER the gf already spent days cheating on her bf with BD without a care in the world. And you know what's funny? In the "confront gf" route, she doesn't seem all that bothered when she gets caught. And the MC still forgives her... haha.

I wish there was a game like this but with normal people acting normally with normal reactions. Instead, this kinda feels like a slow trainwreck. If you enjoy MCs being abused, this is for you. Having a cheating gf doesn't make him a cuck in my eyes, having a cheating gf while being a punching bag, does.

Cant wait for the full version. I come back and check every so often and am patiently waiting. I definitely recommend playing if you are at all interested in NTR content. The images are super clean and the story is very interesting so far.

Version 0.9

Amazing NTR story where MC suspects his GF is cheating on him and he slowly resolves the mystery. Based on your dialog choices you have multiple endings that are extremely different, so your choices actually matter.

- Story (4/5): Story is amazing. I was very invested in it.

- Originality (4/5): NTR stories usually go from 0 to 100% really quickly with no build-up, but this game the exact opposite. I really like how this game tells the story with mystery and build-up.

- Renders (5/5): Beautiful 2D art.

- Playability (5/5): I couldn't put the game down. Did multiple playthroughs.

- Amount of content (5/5): Few hours of gameplay, but the pace of the story is just right. Not rushed, not too slow.

All in all, amazing game. Final score: 5/5

I feel dirty. Even going full anti-cuck I feel yet another piece of my soul has been tarnished by this accursed genre.

Like most NTR games it seems that everyone he knows is out to fuck over the MC. Big dick guy, cucking people makes him feel superior (he himself is 'cucked' by turbo slut); Childhood friend/turbo-slut seems to have some vindictive/possessive obsession with the MC, and while she is the most 'reasonable' I suspect that she's the one orchestrating this whole thing; and worst of all is the girlfriend, Mia, who spends the entire game gaslighting the MC in a deliberate attempt to break him down into a moldable doll.

There is no 'love' here; I've meet swingers, cucks and polys and a common theme for those that make it work is communication and trust. Mia and turbo-slut don't care about the MC, they care about what he gives them... compassion. So long as they have that then they are willing to strip away everything else about him, working together to gaslight and belittle him... perfect antagonists!

I don't care about a Mia or the sociopathic childhood "friend" or Biggus Dickus. I just want an ending where my man can be happy. One where he takes the knowledge he's gained from this shitshow; the newfound sexual aggressiveness, the increased endurance, the loss of his naivety; and use it to cut out the assholes in his life... then get a big-titty tomboy goth GF just to spite them.

I know that won't happen, god knows he deserves it after this shit, but you know the rules and so do I. I have no faith in Mia going into the ending, but I hope I have some method to fuck her over (metaphorically, not literally) .

8/10, I will never feel clean again. Thank you

Reviewing v0.9:
For a parody game, and I assume that's what it wants to be, actually: pretty good.

Okay-ish visuals (if you prefer hand-drawn over CG, like I do) [nothing special, though], absurd/funny story w/ cliché characters, tolerable writing (some annoying typos, too many *fufus' etc. for my liking).

All-in-all, however -- an enjoyable NTR story which does not hurt the player's feelings (too much); and a surprising amount of content (with some welcome variations: full cuck, mystery NTR, revenge, tainted(?) love [w/ the 1st female protagonist], true(?) love [w/ the 2nd female protagonist], ...) [for which alone the dev deserves more or better paying patrons than he/she/it currently has].

Hence, to sum it up: good, 4 out 5 stars.

-v0.9
The choices have little to no impact at the story at all kinda cliche story of ntr but no blackmail and ugly bastards involve which nice and is rare to see.
Could have been the best netori game out there

-A not so cuck mc.
-Someone still wants to bang him.
-Girlfriend still wants to be genuine even after cheating and can still feel pleasure from the mc.
-The big guy looks like an inexperienced highschooler with big dick as his only redeeming qualities.

like dude if most the choices have any impact at all the mc could easily steal all the big guy's girls after training to last longer by having sex with a certain someone or by taking lessons from the ironman guy.
Seeing the big guy's face after stealing his girls would look like you stole a candy from a kid which would be hilarious if that happened.netori is still ntr so theres hope.
It would also be nice if the big guy's pov is added like to show how did their affair starts or something. good art btw makes me want to wait for a new game made by the same developer

Played on [v0.7] : 4/5. [From someone who doesn't enjoy NTR]

[TL;DR] Story strikes a great balance between rage towards the cheater and soothing vanilla moment between MC and his GF where he is also given the chance to have some -pityfull- action. MC is given the choice to become the benevolent cuck he seems to be destined to be OR fight back and confront the situation with the little pride he is left.
Overall, love story between MC and GF is good enough to give somewhat of hope for them. And a damn great cliffhanger at the end of V0.7.
Honestly, BootyProfessor, congrats. I hate it... but at the same time, i want more.

[complete review and Impressions]

First things first, let me say that Netorare is absolutely not my thing, [like most, the only type I enjoy in this kind of kink is Netori] everytime I try to read/play something with this tag, I just feel anger, powerlessness and a huge spike of violence. So why did I still tried this game? Well I love this western/semi-pro-ish artstyle. But amidst those feelings, I must admit that I somewhat enjoyed this experience. Not for... let's say "solitary pleasure" but for how BootyProfessor depicted his characters and his story.

The results : I played this game in one go, pretty much ... well I want to say enjoying (this is the closest feeling I guess, can't put word on it ) it, and more than once, I resisted the urge to punch my screen. And to me, if anything it is proof that the tension is masterfully balanced.

- MC is not the sharpest tool in the shed. He's working a shit job, is scrawny af, and almost impotent. Which makes him the perfect image of a NTR mc, BUT is still not totally oblivious to what is happening, he has his doubts but still tries to rationalise the situation which to me is already a great plus; while of course as the players we clearly can see the signs of what's happening but when you think about it, his denial is pretty much understandable.

- The GF is genuinely in love with the MC, in heat and insanely hot, but still decided to get to the beta mc. So usual NTR LO. BUT The player can see that she is trying to balance her "urges" and her relationship to the point where she tries a few times to ignore those needs for the sake of the relationship, and tries to make amends whithout admitting guilt. She is seen as hesitant, then slowly losing grip on her bf. I like that she doesn't change to a hateful bitch towards MC but still tries to be his genuine gf.

- "Chad" well, usual. Money, tall, muscular with a third leg. "conspicuously" corrupting GF and showing off in front of MC to the point where he's groping her in front of him many times.

- Didn't pursue Riley route yet, when she made clear that it would be a sub/poly thing, I noped out instantly. Maybe i'll try her route later. That said, she might be the only character I didn't really

- Overall, very cliché NTR that would have stopped me just a few minutes into the game if not for one thing: you can actually decide to fight back. The game give you the choice to go full cuck, or to keep as much manly pride as possible due to the situation. The dev has a way of building tension, rage and angst with the cheating GF; while simultaneously soothing you, showing that while is being pounded by "chad" to hell and back, GF really cares about MC on an emotional level.

As a non NTR fan, it gives this glimmer of hope that maybe things might get better for MC while everyone else around him is clearly pushing him to be a cuck. And let me tell you, this is what made me enjoy the game, this careful balance between rage towards the cheater and understanding her situation. And as of this version, the final choice finally sealed it for me. As he already did a few times since the beginning, BootyProfessor gives us the choice of accepting our fate or finally confronting GF one more/last(?) time.

Now I am waiting eagerly for the newest update. And I'm writting this review for the potential other curious people who are not into NTR but still check reviews:

If you're not into this, you will hate it, just like I did. But at the same time, you want to know more about the story because there is hope, maybe just a flicker, and you'll probably get a "BAD Ending" where MC breaks up, but hey, the game is not finished yet, maybe we'll have the chance to mend things? I'd definitly love to.

v0.9: It just went straight to a sluts-whatever story and pretty much threw away the little play of mystery or confusion between characters. If you don't keep any serious bonding or the purity element, it turns into meaningless porn. Typical mistake.
The dialogs feel rushed down as well.

v0.7: The developer pulled off something surprising here since I haven't seen the topic of cuckolding being set up like this before. It's about the MC not realizing he's in an open relationship but it shifts from this tense or dishonest situation to a solution that might repair their issue entirely: Cuckolding could bring both partners back to honesty.

Now I must say I feel the sex-hungry Riley character is kind of lazily written since she could have provided better cuckolding setups not only between Mia and MC but also MC and herself - there should have been more bonding going on and easier-to-obtain CGs, especially when the gallery doesn't feature text. I feel her path is rather rushed or ignored so it's more about Mia, although both of them have an equally working layout.

There's also an element of repetitive humor that is, at one point, really relieving since it defuses most of the seriousness by providing the perspective that MC's world is more than just Mia.

Moreover, the visuals improve and I like when VNs use Social Media elements since there's much potential for creativity. To make you pay for it is a nice detail.

All in all, I think the developer took a few flat writing risks which could even cause a player to detach from the game but it went full circle at the end. It paid off.

Average game with very very normal scenes, the truth is that I would say average regarding the NTR because if they are cucks you will like them, in my case I am not, but enjoy it of course if they are cucks, the only thing I liked was the sound, that's fine.
