VN - Others - Long Story Short [v0.10a1] [TTrickGames]

Definitely a 5 star game for me.

The characters are sooo good and well defined. Graphics are awesome. Sex scenes are sexy. Interface is very good and smooth.

Negative fro Renpy users is the inability to rollback. Very minor complaint, but only because Renpy spoils us.

I also like that there is a lot of paths and variations with lots of meaningful and impact full decisions , but the main story still remains the same. I did not play the hate paths...so I'm scared of those.

Story 9/10
Graphics 9/10
Characters 9/10
User interface 10/10
Sex scenes 9/10

I wish for the next update already!

Simply amazing. The amount of detail put into the user interface stands out among many titles. The renders are superb and the character models are great. The multiple choices and varying paths are actually interesting. I would love if the blackmail path was more developed but what was there was still fun.

It's a great game so far. The graphics are great and the story is well written. There is lots of deceit and manipulation going on between the characters which is also well done.

The main reason I'm writing this is because a specific character in the game, in my view, warrants playing it.. so the following contains no story spoilers but does contain some qualities of a specific character that you don't know yet when you first start the game.. but you should be able to guess shortly after meeting her. Anyways, if you're in to a manipulative megaslut girl really done right and written well, then play this game. The graphics and the writing are already done well, but if you like this kind of character then you'll enjoy it even more.

Very good story, very good CGI, overall 10/10,
Its good that they kept the NTR optional so there is less whining, the NTR route is really great too so hopefully hopefully they keep up the good NTR route as well.

Best interactive game i have played so far. Love the interesting choices the game presents, characters are perfect. I hope to see more of main characters mom and sister parts as that would make it even more interesting. Love it so far. Keep up the good work.

In the future, this game will be called a masterpiece. Damn, the models are extremely hot. The story seems decent too and the ntr is avoidable. You can see that the devs worked hard for this. Hopefully they'll keep this up and complete the game. Really deserves completion.

Enjoyable game! It manages to keep your attention and for my taste have exactly the right balance of renders/action/text. Also the choices actually make you wonder would have happened if you had done something else. But I only did one playthrough so I dont know how much the story would have changed. Looking forward to see where this goes.

I actually really like this game. The writing is quite good but it's not completely fluent. Despite that fact the story is enjoyable enough and I personally really like all of the characters so far. I haven't explored every decision yet in the game but it definitely seems like there are a lot of branching paths with all sorts of different consequences. Definitely a game with a ton of potential and it has plenty to enjoy as of the version I just finished playing (v0.6a). I'm downloading the beta now to see what's new.

There's definitely something special about this game, though it's not as polished as some other top games.

Pros:
- Great renders!
- Fast-paced story (no grinding or reading walls of text)
- Love interests are unique with distinct personalities
- Couple of paths to pursue

Cons:
- Dialogue is pretty bland
- Some spelling and grammar mistakes, almost like English isn't the dev's first language
- The story isn't very engrossing. It's a porn game and that pretty much sums it up.

I recommend giving this one a try, it's quite enjoyable. Though the cons kept me from giving this one a 5.

I'm actually a long time fan of this game, but for some weird reasons I never did write a review about it. In the meantime, the game continued to improve, especially regarding the visuals and the UI, so if I could give 5.5/5, I'd do it.

I really love the girls in this game, especially Vanessa (for her looks and her personality), even if the renders of Alex and Emily are simply fantastic, they are, like, simply beautiful.
You could also say that the game cater many of my kinks: wild naughty girls, exhibitionnism, sharing and some elements of ntr too. A lot of effort have been made regarding the choices available for the player, which lead to a large number of paths. I really like that aspect, your choices really matter, and I strongly advise anyone to do multiples playthroughs if you want to see more than 20% of the game.
On one hand, it's not always that rewarding for the developper considering the nightmare of possibilities (thus effort) it leads to, but on the other hand as a player I really appreciate it a lot and I think more people should emphasize that aspect too. You're really "playing", not only reading (and fapping).

I hope this game will continue for a long time, it's one of my all-time fav.

This is a really good game. I came for the hot girls in the screens and stayed for the story. I was actually engaged and didn't skip through dialogue to get to the tiddies. Well done! Headed over to Patron now to support this dev.

Absolutely solid game. You won't be surprised by any of the character models you'll see as all the old favourites from other games are in there but overall they've been tweaked to the point it isn't tiresome. The plot is interesting albeit somewhat wrapped in shadows as of v0.6 but you know enough in the short term to work out what the goals are.

Another good point is the different plot threads. All intertwined but sufficiently distinct that it's a game which would reward replaying it in a different manner. All too often game developers make their games too linear and after a quick blast through it you drop it like a hot tattie until something better comes alone.

As an aside, I rather enjoy the UI. I guess this is probably down to the engine being unity as opposed to Renpy but it just looks nicer you know? It's the little things which just add up to make it a more interesting game.

Certainly one to follow to see where it goes but the dev certainly seems to not only have a plan, but it seems to be a good one.

Well, sometimes the reviews are so hard for be objective or gentle, this is not the case, because I can be total objective, and suuuupah gentle cause the quality of this game;

Pros;
-Awesome designs of main LI. Forget about another standard design for the females, here u can have a hybrid from Mila Kunis with Selena Gomez haha
-Interesting plot; can looks like the plot is simple, but is interesting because u really dont know what happened with the MC and with who is talking
-Real choices; yeah, one of the few games where every choice will change ur path, ur scenes and ur outcome with every character in the game. This is a must for rerun because every path is sooo good
-NTR avoidable AND WELL BUILT; forget about ntr forced or sooo bad implement with the plot/characters, this is not the case so TRY IT although u hate the NTR, TRUST ME
-VANESSA, u no need more than this for try it
-Interface/menu so professional; when u see it, u will understand this game and the dev team take this so srsly and are so professional
-Although the game is with unity engine, the dev team provides us with ANDROID PORT, this is a great and important thing for someone like me that cant play with the pc !

Cons;
-The game is not finished
-The game doesnt have the fame that it deserves

Like u can see, the only cons for dont play it is stupid, so why dont try RIGHT NOW?

Overall an very excellent game. Amazing renders and cgs (tho sadly no animations), great story with multiple choices/routes, believable characters and engaging events. This game also has a very well made user interface. This is one of the best games out there, I can see that the developers really doing something great here.

It's a no-brainer for me to rate this piece of art 5 stars. I apologize in advance since it's hard for me to not praise this game. It really got me hooked. This game is exceptional. Among the very best I've seen and experienced so far. Bleeds atmosphere.

The art is gorgeous, every character fits well into the story. The user interface and comfort features play in a league of their own. The replay value is very high due to numerous branching paths. So many possibilities! Every single one is spicy and intriguing.

One of the best features: It's not hard to play multiple paths at the same time. I can easily use different folders for saving and switching between game paths.

And the most important thing: The girls are among the hottest I've seen so far in any adult game. I like all of them and their personalities - especially Vanessa, Emily and Amber (Mario's girlfriend). The guys fit in quite well too.

Long story short: I am very picky about which project I support on Patreon. But this project won me over in an instant. Never had that happen before. The devs are extremely cool and friendly. I hope they get the well-deserved support. My advice: try the game. There is a good chance that you will love it. And if you do, support the devs. A buck each month or occasionally is not much for such a great game.

Story: There's an interesting dynamic between the characters and their relationships. Takes some strange turns that makes it more interesting than the usual fare. The bit with the family was amusing.

Graphics: Renders are great, no problems here.

gameplay: a few devious and funny choices that set up conflict. It doesn't pay off just yet, hoping it will in the future.

I am giving this game 5 stars and not 4 because the engine is not renpy but still gorgeous. From the looks alone this game is a masterpiece, renders included.

Luckily I only started playing with the current version (.6) and from the patchnotes it looks like the framework was pretty crap before (heating graphics cards, no read-dialogue skip, no gallery mode, load times). I had no issues whatsoever playing it now. It also has a nice dialogue-log and the save function is really good and fast.

About the meat of the game:
It has some of the most impactful choices I have seen in visual novels of this type. While some key events happen in every playthrough, the player can actually influence what happens, with side events and variations happening depending on those choices. That said, the story is not much to write home about. It is basically a dating sim with two girls.

The main fetish, NTR, is sort of disappointing. One of the main girls is just a pathological slut and I cant get myself to see her as a love interest even when trying. I like her as a character, but when she fucks around it does nothing for me.
The other main girl is cute though, and being able to corrupt her is great. The secondary fetish, said corruption and domination, has a good start but then the game ends. I dont think there will be any satisfying developments in the next couple of updates. Her NTR route is just as bad as with the other girl, just because there isnt much happening. She chooses another guy, who I dont really dislike, and posts a few tame instagram pics.

There are also frequent English mistakes, but while noticeable I'd call them mild.

In conclusion I find the game kind of falling flat on the erotic side, especially disappointing because it looks and feels really high quality, plus has some really good sexual teasers that then arent explored enough. (Mild Spoiler: I mean the slut getting involved in corrupting the cutie, and the cutie being a natural submissive. Those things are established, but then nothing more comes of it in the current version).

Still five stars because of the potential, but it might take another year or two before the game has actually earned it.

The good thing about this game are some of the girls are really really pretty and hot (but at the moment you get h scenes with a couple of them)

The story is not bad, not great either.

The very bad thing: using unity on a choices based game, this is a really bad 'choice' made by the dev. You can't go back in a decision, there is no clear hint of what can happen if you choose a or b, you may play the game from beginning, even following the walkthrough and you won't be able to unlock some scenes, and by the way... Liar points ? WTF is that?


In conclusion, if you want to play it 30 times to unlock (20 or less) scenes, may be this is the game for you, if you can't afford to lose so much time just download the pictures or something...

The amount of player choices is truly unrivalled. And the choices aren't just cosmetic, they are very consequential, branching the story into many different paths and sub-paths. This means that all the different kinks are optional, so if there's something in the tags that you don't like, chances are you can avoid it. The renders are also some of the best of any game on this site. All of this is wrapped in really stellar UI, making this one of the very best games on this website.

We love long stories with a twisted plot, lots of characters and so on. But sometimes, when you are immersed in such stories, you just want to interrupt the narrator and tell him: long story short...

Story

Long story short... this is a rather simple but deep and complex story. I'm not a fan of typical TV shows where the main story and the character stories are loosely coupled and luckily that's not the case in this game. I will not go into details, as I do not want to spoil in the review. I can only advise you to try it yourself.

Graphics

But I can't tell a long story short about graphics.. I like realistic shadows and colors in renders. They are made with high quality and do not find fault with them. Regardless of the location, they are pleasant to look at.
Characters are a much more difficult question. My opinion is this: this is taste. Someone may not like them, someone, like me, will. Characters and models are made of high quality and unique.
In most cases, the shot is well done and hard to notice. There are a couple of scenes in which it was possible to do it differently, but this is not critical.

Interface

I'm not a Unity fan. But I can't help but admit that everything from the main menu to Alex's Instagram is done perfectly. There is nothing to find fault with.

Overall, I really liked the game. It has flaws, but it is definitely better than most existing projects. I definitely advise you to try it in your free time.
