RPGM - Completed - Henteria Chronicles Ch. 2 : The Law of the Tribe [Update 16] [N_taii]

could've been such a classic with adequate cg
without it, the game gets on your nerves after every single unsatisfying"scene"
pixel only is not cutting it. same goes for the first game
imagination is great and all but at this point, just open a hentai close your eyes and imagine your own scenario.

10/10 game, not because it's perfect, but the 2 main heroines in this game are so well made you actually care about them. The corruption takes so so long that once you reach the end, it actually feels "nostalgic" when you load your early save files.

WARNING: Do not go into this game thinking "hey I have an hour or two, let me play this and get one off." You won't . You can expect to spend I'd say about 6 hours to just get to a meaningful ntr h-scene. That said, this time will go by fast as the early parts of the game is so enjoyable, and I genuinely feel that this adds to the game's charm.

Now getting to the pros/ cons:

Pros - The 2 main heroines are some of the most well made characters I've ever seen in a game (and I've played a lot of games).
-Music is perfection, Map is beautiful.
-Corruption is gradual and "believable" (for a porn game, duh)
-The voices and portraits for the h-scenes are really hot.

Cons-
I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that we do not care about some of the side characters. For an NTR game, you'd have to have some sort of close connection to the girl. If your neighbor has sex with another man, that's not ntr, that's just 2 people having sex. Also aside from Solana, the rest of the characters are so uninteresting

- The story is okay.. It's pretty basic, with politics and stuff too.

Overall, do not be discouraged by the pixel art, there are character portraits that does a good job elevating the scenes. Give it a try and before you know it, this may be one of your favorite games as it is mine. Great job devs! I will definitely look forward to your other projects.

Side note,

This game was very good at the beginning but it drags on so much.

If it was about 6-10 hours long I would have given it 5 stars but this game is almost 40 hours long and with so many repetitions that it just really hurt it.

Also another thing that I didn't like is that the guys keep the girls mostly for themselves with the exception of a few scenes there is always the same animation with the same people over and over again.

As other pointed out, the story is pretty depressive which is a boner killer.
Not having a boner while playing a H game is big minus for the game.

This isn't N_taii first game so he should have known by now that H-games required a different approach than normal games, really sucks man.

Having recently finished this game I thought I'd leave a review with my thoughts.

Overall I'd rate the game a 3/5 for an NTR game, it was pretty average by the end of it. I'll go into some specifics of the game now.

Gameplay 3/5
As far as gameplay goes it's very simplistic. The game is mostly just fetch quests and the like. It did have a couple of puzzles early on, but honestly those just felt tiresome to do and it seems they were scrapped as you never really run into any of them ever again as you progress through the game.

Basically, the game just consists of fetch quest -> scene or getting scenes in-between fetch quest objectives. Nothing ground breaking. There's no combat or anything in the game as the MC is not a fighter or anything of the sort.

Sound 4/5
With this being a pixel game the sound is very important. The sex noises, and music were both very good and definitely helped the overall atmosphere. Definitely one of the best parts of the game.

Story 2/5
Now I want to get into the story and characters. With this being an NTR game this is probably the most important aspect of the game. I will be talking about spoilers in this section as well as some of the endings.

I will say that the game starts off very strong, and it has a great buildup. You basically start the game off as a kid and see how things were. You get to see all the characters and get a real sense of familiarity with them, and their character dynamics. Some people may not like it taking so long to get into the action, but I appreciated the long buildup.

However, I will say that the game does seem to drag on. While the early buildup is appreciated, I feel that as the game continued and the MC is just obvlious to all that's going on it got frustrating for me. This is sort of explained as the MC intentionally ignoring what's going on around him, but I honestly think the game would've beneffited from being shorter.

The story itself is pretty unique with the central point being racial tensions around the different elf tribes, and how the antagonists use this to their advantage in order to further their plans of basically world domination. There's also involvement with Gods and even they have their own motivations for their actions.

Now, I want to talk about the NTR scenarios and the two specific NTR characters. There are a lot of side characters and scenes with them as well, but honestly none were too memorable and they're optional so I won't be discussing them.

Let's talk about the first NTR character, I will be discussing plot points in these so spoilers ahead.


Now let's talk about the second NTR character, and boy do I have a lot to say about her.


Now, I didn't talk about the main antagonists, but they also get backstories and characterization. A pretty nice addition because usually these NTR games don't go in-depth with characters like these.

The majority of the game is then basically spent with you running around doing fetch quests as the two most important women in the MC's life are getting fucked behind his back, with one of them being his love interest. You get some nice scenes where you can peer through the window and see all this happening.

This continues for a long while; again, too long in my opinion. Until the big reveal where the MC finds out what's been happening.


Now I want to talk about the endings.


Final Thoughts
Overall the game started off very strong and gave me very high hopes, but faltered a lot towards the end because of certain plot points and the routes it went with certain characters. A game with lots of potential, but really fails to hit the mark at the end. With all that said though, it's certainly not a bad game by any means and definitely worth giving a shot if you enjoy NTR games like NTRPG.

Henteria Chronicles: Chapter 2

Pros:

- Pixel NTR, not that many but a great combination when done correctly.
- Good attention to detail. (Muffled sex/Obscured sex)
- Wide array of women who will fall.
- Better pacing than its predecessor.
- Custom artwork in a RPGM game.

Cons:

- Generic fantasy setting.
- Utilizes drugs as a plot point. (diminishes the narrative imo)
- Text heavy. (though not as bad as the first game)

HC2 does alot of what the first game did but better, better sprites and scenes make for a more enjoyable experience in RPGM. A good sequel.

Introduction:

By far the worst game NTR game I've played, without an ounce of exaggeration. If you want the (extremely) short version here it is: whoever designed this game doesn't understand NTR. So if you're here because you like RPGM games that's irrelevant I guess, but if you're a fan of NTR trust me you want to skip this one.

Now if you want to really understand why I'm saying that, now that I've finished this game let's get to the review: with first the usual criteria for rating games, and then the full version of my earlier remarks.

Graphics/Art: 4/5

There is no "Art" per se except the portraits of the main characters, however those are pretty good (there's multiple versions depending on the context) and we must also take into account that this is a RPGM game, not a VN, and I must say that the use of RPGM assets here is really nice.

The Village (where you will spend 90% of you time in-game) is beautifully crafted, you can tell how much care went into making every single house and landscape to make it feel pretty and welcoming. It's exactly the right size too, it doesn't make the same mistake that other RPGM games have when you get this massive map that's completely soulles ans low-effort. It really gives you this cozy, almost fairytale feeling, and you really want to get lost it in and feel at peace.

It truly makes RPGM shine like no other game has done ( for me at least, I'm not a fan of RPGM usually so I haven't played many of these)

Music: 5/5

About the sound effects first: they're quite basic but used perfectly. Do not underestimate the importance of sound effects in a NTR game: because you dont "see" what's happening most of the time (or at least you character cannot) you rely on them a lot, and a muffled moan or a wet sound at exactly the right moment can be crucial and cause such of whirl of emotions precisely because you're in that "NTR" state of mind. The volume is important too: just loud enough to be heard, to make the character wonder what's happening, but not the same volume as if you were actually there. This game nails all of those aspects imo.

The music is good too, decent enough variety and it helps a lot with the overall atmosphere of the game. That moment when the epic music kicks in when the MC is I have to admit it blew me away, I wasn't expecting that. Not that it compares to some actual composer music, but I was really pleasantly surprised.

Gameplay/UI: 4/5

There's nothing extraordinary about the gameplay of this game, but once again we have to take into account the context of RPGM (did I already mention how much I hate that engine?) and here the game stands out because unlike most other RPGM titles this game understands that the whole leveling/combat/inventory aspect of RPGM is extremely fucking boring and it makes the wise decision to get rid of it entirely, replacing that with some little mini games.

Now there's nothing particularly good about those, and I have to admit that I still skipped 80% of them because I'm just not a patient person, but I'm not holding that against the game because that's my personal bias.

I truly do think this is the right formula to make RPGM fun and enjoyable, frankly it made me reconsider my opinion about RPGM which is something I thought would never happen.

No choices of any kind until the very end though, not even minor dialogue choices, and although that's RPGM, I still have to remove a point because if that. It just objectively makes the game worse.

Writing/Story: 3/5

(this section will cover only storytelling, not sexual content, you'll soon understand why)

First of all I have to admit that this game does have a high-effort, big-scale, engaging main story which is quite rare for a NTR game. Most NTR games out there have only a very superficial main story, and I wont even get into the "mom fucks you bully" cringe festival.

On the surface it frankly looks top-tier, and for the first few hours of gameplay it actually is, but then you start to notice an increasing number of plot holes (by that I mean objectively bad writing) although it's true that it can be difficult to disentangle that from your own personal bias, so here's a few examples. These do contain minor spoilers (nothing about big main story secrets or anything like that) but that's inevitable to explain my point:

1)
2)
I'm not gonna give any more examples because this is getting extremely long already but there's like at least 5-6 obvious plotholes (that I've noticed, and I've skipped a lot of content) and although I tried at first to ignore them and continue to enjoy the game it really becomes unbearable at some point.

Conclusion:

Now you might have noticed by now that if you add up the grades for all the sections the average shouldn't be 1/5 (unless you're as bad at math as this dev is at making games) so let's clarify that and get into what truly makes this an awful experience.

First of all let's acknowledge that the game is objectively high effort, gets a lot of things right. In fact for a while my expectations were so sky-high that I thought by the end of the playthrough it might make my top-3 best sex games I've ever played. The higher you climb, the harder you fall.

It's important to clarify that I don't hate this game just because it's bad. There's plenty of bad games on this site, stuff that was scrapped together in an afternoon by an amateur dev that never bothered with it again. Those are completely fine with me, they're not even worth a review. I would just delete and move on.

The reason I hate this game is that for the first 18 hours or so of gameplay it is so damn good. 18h (what it says on the save file in RPGM is playtime, right?) is how long it took me to get to the "pool day" quest (if you played it you know which one it is) which imo is where this game peaks. That was so fucking good. Felt absolutely thrilling for a NTR fan like me.
The reason I hate this game is that it lures you in by being so good until you get into sunk cost fallacy (18h is enough for it to kick in), naturally I hadn't looked anything up because I didn't want spoilers for a story-based game, and then it starts going downhill, and unlike other NTR games it just gets worse and worse until it reaches its awful, repulsive ending.

Yes, we'll have to talk about the endings because it's impossible to explain certain things without mentioning them, although I'll still try to keep spoilers to a minimum.

For those new to it let me explain how good NTR works and why certain people enjoy it. Here's how a good NTR story (game, writing, doesn't matter) usually goes:

- Phase I: cheating The girl starts cheating, the MC is unaware of it. However you start to get certain little clues: a sound here, a weird stain there, and so on. As time goes on, there get more and more frequent and obvious leading inevitably to phase II.

In this phase, the reason it's enjoyable is because you get that thrill of knowing what's going on as the player, yet you play as a character that doesn't know. Those little clues mean nothing to the MC that is ignorant and naive but they give you really intense feelings as the player because you have that "secret" knowledge (or intuition) that something is going on. Some games push it as far as hiding the sex scenes from you (the player) and letting you use your imagination because sometimes the pleasure of not knowing is actually more intense than the pleasure of knowing (must sound weird if you're not into NTR yet but you'll get it eventually).

An important aspect of that is the relationship between the MC and the cheating character: as you read, you can't help but scan their words, their attitude for little signs of change, and seeing that relationship evolve little by little is what makes it so good.

And in this case, the game absolutely nails phase I. You get a ton of little interactions that get more and more intense with time (as they should), it was an absolute blast to play this.

Phase II: the reveal: This is a key moment, when both the MC and the cheating character become aware of what's happening. The generic way to do this is simple: the cheating girl gets less and less careful about hiding her cheating because she doesn't give a fuck anymore, the MC walks in on them having sex, boom.

It's raw, it's intense, its thrilling. It's the climactic conclusion to the story. The pinnacle of it. What all those little clues and changes were inevitable leading up to. Everything that was tying the characters together, the trust, the emotions, that only existed to better break it all in this crucial moment. I'm not sure how else I can express how important this is. There is a thousand ways to do it of course, but every good NTR game out there has something along those lines at the end of the story.

Then there's also many ways it can go afterwards: the characters have a talk, apologize (soft ending) or the cheating characters mocks MC and reveals her true opinion of him which ends up breaking him (hard ending) and everything in between. But the reveal has to be there.

As you probably guessed at this point, this game has no reveal. It's like a war story without a final battle, a horror story without a monster, a fairytale without a happy ending. The story is missing what is supposed to be at its core, I dont know how else to phrase it.

What happens instead (and here we have to dig into the endings a bit, I'm sorry, but I'll keep the spoilers light) in what is supposed to be "The NTR ending" is that
Apart from NTR there's also a "wholesome" ending that I didn't try at all (not my jam) and another one which I won't spoil but the writing in there was pretty bad so I played only about half of it.

I guess the last thing to say is that I wrote this review mostly because I wanted some sort of cathartic effect from it, I'm just mad at myself for wasting 27h (the duration of the playthrough, with some skipping) on this garbage game so I thought might as well spend 1h more just to shit on it on this forum lol

A gold standard in the genre. Prodigiously long, full of content, and interested in telling an actual story.

Smut Art: A+
Shocking! For a game which makes do only with pixels, you'd expect it to score fairly low. But stellar writing and context breathe life into the meagre animations. Legitimately heart-wrenching and erotic.

Atmosphere: A-
This game does a great job immersing you into a place your character has grown up their whole life. The layout of your hometown is memorable, slowly but surely beaten into you over the hours you play (even if the blatant Inkarnate map draws you a bit out of the experience). The lack of CGs means the cucking experience is surprisingly seamless, and cutscenes are actually pretty darn visually interesting.

Gameplay: B+
RPGMaker games are almost never actually 'fun', but the dev's commitment to fetch-quest/puzzle style gameplay is much more creative and time-intensive than if they'd put a haphazard battle system in and called it done. This game is undeniably a long-haul. Don't expect to beat it in a day, especially with its more complicated puzzle/adventure sequences.

Story: A+
This game's storytellingis high quality enough to carry a completely SFW game. The complicated emotional histories of the town, tragic irony and dramatic dialogue all make for an experience you can't quite shake away from afterwards. You will be cucked in ways you can barely even imagine, and learn some legitimately neat lore at the same time.

Very good story if you like corruption and NTR (It's more about corruption than NTR).

Despite not having actual CGs (only animated sprites), this is compensated by the very kinky situations and very well written dialogs.

The game is a bit too long for my taste. It's tiresome to seek all content (all quests), mainly because the horrible "day of the week" system doesn't help. This is the reason I'm taking out the first point for my rating.

The reason I'm taking an extra point from the rating is a Spoiler, but you probably should read if dislike "Sharing" or "Swinging" genres:


Overall, I would vote for a 3.5/5 score rating if I could.

This game had me goin' bonkers for days, man. I ain't sayin' it's bad or nothin', but it's just too dang good! Noah's character is crafted like a freakin' masterpiece, and it took me down memory lane with some stuff my ex-wife did. It got me all bummed out and feelin' crummy. Just a lil' gripe, though - the revenge plot didn't give me that sweet taste of payback I was hopin' for. But hey, maybe that's on me.

this game made me and my genitalia cry

genuinely felt bad for the mc, almost enough for me to pick the happy ending for him (still went with ntr end but that did leave more to be desired, journey was still good tho, quite realistic how things unfold which is important for a ntr work)

great work dev

Well I just finished this game and the truth is that I liked it more than I expected, it is true that the character models are not the best and it was not possible to detail many of the scenes.

But the only thing I personally can't forgive two things.

The first is that there are not so many freeroam events, in HC3 one of my favorite things is to exploit the map in search of these events, but to some extent I understand why there are not so many, the map of HC2 is smaller so there was not much to do about it.

And the second thing, was the little of protagonism of Amaria and Salkia, I know they are extra characters; but both had potential to be more in the game and star some more scenes. I hope that if in the future N_taii plans to make a remake of this game or a kind of DLC they have a little more protagonism.

Nothing to say about the rest, excellent game, very good story

Ended the 1st chapter, and oh, boy, this one is even better!
I already ranked the first one 5 stars, and am obviously doing the same with this one.
So, again, pixel art. I guess we all prefer actual art, but the sound+story makes up for it, and the p.a./situations are well done anyways.
So, nothing negative to say, positive things:
- More characters, deeper and more complicated stories. Since there are more characters, there are different forms of ntr, which is nice.
- The cute faces for the girls add a lot to our imagination, it's a great improvement.
- The world map is a tiny bit more varied, but still simple enough for me personally to like it.
The game in general is very similar to the first one, I am not complaining.
I personally use the walkthrough, because I feel like roaming in search of new quests would end up being annoying, did the same in the first one; with it the game is easy enough for me to enjoy my way.

RPG Maker game with no real gameplay other than walking from one scripted scene to the next. Writing is unfathomably uninspired and can't even be skipped due to massive overuse of balloons (emote bubbles). Story is your run-of-the-mill mute MC doing chores while getting cucked at every opportunity.

This is literally what happens with EVERY woman in the game:
- MC runs around, walks past window/room/bed where people are having sex:
Antagonist: Cmon baby, lets sex
Girl: How dare you!
Antagonist: I know you want it, *molest*
Girl: *redfaced* Hnnnnn.. but...
Antagonist: See, you're a slut, I am banging you with my big dick!
Girl: Why... do I... love this so much? MOAR MOAR
Antagonist: That's right bitch, take my cum!

The "scenes", if you can even call them that, are not only always the same shtick but also don't have any dedicated art, it's simply the RPG maker sprites wiggling about, wow.

In the beginning, with the Quest system and even occasional light puzzle I thought I'd enjoy this but the further I played, the less gameplay existed, and it was just the same loop of "text, text, text, text, (text x20), click ground to walk here, see cuck scene, repeat new wall of text.

If you absolutely LOVE ntr & cuckolding, yes that's all what this game is, with no variance whatsoever. If you expect any other type of content, or coherent writing, artwork, or any type of gameplay, seek elsewhere.

This game is... Strange.
I can see they put a lot effort in it and I'd say it's worth its time, if you look at the tags and you like them.
My problem with it is that the MC is so unjustifiably blind to everything that happens that it took away from the enjoyment of playing through the plot. I mean, the story isn't nothing complicated or filled with plot twists, but I can't help but feel that it would've been made better if there was a way to stop the obvious harrasment of pretty much every living being around you. Overall, if you're simply here for the NTR this game is for you.
I just feel like it could've been exposed better.

The pixel art is top notch, 10/10 more games should take its example.

Its Good NTR.

So first off, this game has no art only sprite animations but it doesn't need it. I was concerned about this at first but somehow it just worked and was better than most NTR games I played despite having no art.

The real down side to this game is the games intro and first 2-4 hrs. good NTR needs alot of set up which can be boring however the beginning is hard and tedious. You have to run around everywhere looking for stuff. There is a hint system in your room but it is also tedious to use. You don't know if you are going to fail the quest until you do so you have to save often in the beginning. If you fail these quest you wont get be able to continue the side stories with other side characters when advancing in this game and to be honest its barely worth it.

With that being said the game has a story you can care about and get invested in making the NTR that much better. its not a bad story either. Its a long game and if you like NTR then give this a try. Just try not to be too frustrated in the beginning and not be put off from reading. Also don't be afraid to skip the side stories, I skipped most of them, the main story has more than enough content. I hope you don't get put off from the no artwork, its a pretty good game with amazing NTR.

The game is excellent sure it lacks some things but it one of the best
fun fact when a co worker asked about the game it took me more time to explain HC2 than Skyrim for more details i wrote an extended valuation in 2 parts on page 111 of this forum if anyone needs more informations

I am just some degenerate who consumed so much porn and hentai over the last 20 years that nothing excites me any more except the most depraved thing possible:

good writing

and that game delivers, one of the top 3 corruption/ntr game in my book
This duck wasn't the hero I deserved, but the hero i definitely needed

v Update 16

It should be obvious from the title, but do not play this if you cannot enjoy a corruption story where all the women you love in your life are gradually stolen from you and turned into senseless fuck puppets; featuring hot and unsatisfied mother, childhood best friend, and 'adopted sister' love interest. Other women are also abused by the games characters, but their fall is less impactful due to having far more distant relationships to the character.

Story is dense and heavy, there is a lot of plot exposition at the start. This is not the game for you if you just want to skip to lewds, as you have to play for a few hours before you get to the true free roam part. But once you reach that point, the lewd becomes quite easily accessable and common, with deepening corruption driving the girls into darker depths of depravity. However the hours of build up are well worth it for establishing the characters and their relationships; if you play a full gallery save just to see the lewds, you're going to miss out on the context that is half the fun of a heavy corruption story.

Gameplay is functional, no crashes that I recall. It's a 'neverending week' format, where you/events progress time through morning, noon and night cycles of certain days, where certain events will only happen at certain times. Playtime is about 30 hours if you're reading everything, far less if you skip through, with extra time on top if you play to see all three endings. I won't talk about the endings here, except to say that I expected a lot better after nearly 30 hours with the game; not bad, but a little cheap and hamfisted.

I do recommend playing along with a walkthrough, otherwise you'll probably spend a lot of time wandering around places where nothing is happening, and probably missing some events. Unfortunately there's no in game 'guide' to catching the next scene in a progression, which is a feature I think this style of gameplay needs if it wants to maintain its freeroam nature. There should be a way for the player to get hints at where they should be, but I'll discuss that in the thread rather than talk about it here.

The character art is good, but you don't get to see much of it. The lewds are all pixel animations, which means scenes play out (mostly) from the perspective of a disembodied third person perspective. You the player get treated to all the scenes the character does not see. You can just be wandering around and encounter the characters going at it. Sometimes it'll cut away to a full scene for your viewing pleasure. Other times you'll just see the sprite animations, but even that makes the characters feel more alive as you discover them sating their lusts through casual exploration.

But it's the sounds on top that really make the experience great. The moans that get louder the closer you are to the hidden action, you hear the clapping of sweaty flesh, the beds creaking like they're about to break. It's enjoyably visceral, though at times does definately strain that obliviousness the character is supposed to maintain.

All in all, an excellent game and a great story. I hope the dev takes feedback on board to make HC3 even better.

This game, is rather uncommon, it isn't neither a text adventure nor a rpg, is something in between, which can sound good on paper, but on practice is not as appealing as it sounds, I've played the prologue and found that the background and development of the characters is quite good, you can see the story building up, the characters (on the prologue) are quite relatable and have some depth which shows a decent storytelling, after rescuing the girl in the tree , I was wondering, how the sex scenes would be, judging by the game's title menu and the tags, it's seems that will be NTR focused, the f95 game page don't show any ecchi nor sex whatsoever.


I might be wrong in some instances, especially without the history context (I've played only the prologue), but either way, I don't think that the smut writing is that great

Finally I can review it and give it 5 stars, well the ending did not satisfy me personally but it is a great game nonethless, engaging story, good NTR sex scenes. Just play the game and enjoy it at your own pace and leisure. The improvements made in this game should be retained for future titles.
