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

I initially thought this game would be perfect for me. As a fan of NTR, corruption, and a former WoW addict, the setup with a guy addicted to WoW just about to turn his life around felt like a relatable, almost self-insert experience. However, I just couldn’t get into it.

The only character I cared about was Vanessa, who I found very attractive and was the reason I downloaded the game, expecting her to be the focus of the NTR element. Unfortunately, her personality was a letdown from the start. She’s already cheating on Joe, which kills the potential for a slow corruption arc. For me, corruption is most effective when it starts with a good girl in a precious relationship, like Asuna and Kirito in NTR Online. Here, the relationship feels borderline open, so the NTR aspect was underwhelming.

While there are multiple routes and scenes with other characters, I was only interested in Vanessa’s corruption, making the rest tedious. The lack of sound, especially during scenes, was a big miss. The animations were well-done but short, and getting to them felt like a grind. The story wasn’t bad but also wasn’t anything special. The game's development has been extremely slow, which is why I put it off until now.

If Vanessa had a better personality and the game focused more on her gradual corruption, I would have enjoyed it more. But with her already cheating and giving in to blackmail without resistance, it felt hollow. Joe is also somewhat aware of her actions, making the whole thing feel like an open relationship.

Ultimately, the game’s biggest draw for me is that Vanessa is hot, and the animations are good. Everything else, including the characters, story, and overall experience, just didn’t work for me.

I think it's one of the hottest VNs, the renderings are beautiful, the characters well written, perhaps a little longer sex scenes would be a plus.
I highly recommend it for those who haven't done it yet.

I loved this game. I think swinging might be my new favorite genre, not sure yet. The renders and animations weren’t the best, but the game entertained me a lot. If I hadn’t had this much fun, I would’ve given it 4 stars, but I give 5 stars to any game that gives me a good time. I was just disappointed that there was no animation in the final scene. (I played the Ren'Py version, maybe the original version has animation in that part, I don’t know.)

This game is truly a work of art! From the stunning graphics to the immersive storyline, every aspect is finely crafted. The gameplay is smooth, intuitive, and keeps you engaged for hours on end. The world-building is second to none, with every detail meticulously designed to create a rich and immersive experience.

So far it's a very good AVN. Here are some of my thoughts:

1. Story: Plot is quite simple, yet effective, very engaging. This is an AVN where your choices actually matter and you can see different outcomes, in fact, I beat the game twice, making different choices the second time and It felt, at times, like a completely different game which was great, the "branching" here is great (definitely a +). Also the story is a very kinky one with lots of optional sharing.

2. Characters: Girls are well written with a well defined behaviour, except for one who changes according to your choices (which was interesting).

3. Music: No music/sound at all.

4. Animations: Basic animations (kinda mehh, sometimes there were none).

5. Renders: Good enough.

Overall, I'd give it a 7.5/10. The game is more on the short side. I loved that it was very kinky and its "branching", sadly, as I said having no music and mehh animations were a bit of a letdown. It's worth checking out.

One of the best VN. I advise everyone to play and get acquainted. The plot is simple but interesting. Redners and quality of models are at the top level! Everything is very high quality and beautiful. I recommend playing it. We are waiting for new updates. Definitely 5 stars!

CGs look great. I love the characters, and I love the game.

. NTR easy to avoid
. renders are great
. choices can have an impact
. no annoying gameplay loop
. You get to fuck a lot of people, but so far it isn't just 'all of the girls happen to be okay with it for some inexplicable reason'
. all the girls look good (A lot of games I've played lately seem to love having ugly characetrs)


This was a great game, and I'm super excited to see more updates! I actually read most of the dialogue, which is quite rare for me.

I really enjoyed playing it multiple times and trying out new things. A really well made game with lots of options. I like the characters and models, it rare to get such a diverse set of characters to experience, usually they all follow a mold but in this game, there are many characters with diverse personalities. That by the players actions or inaction's can change a characters behavior.

I love this game which stands out completely in almost all aspects. When I started I went on Ann's loving route. Just out of curiosity I tried the route I now call "Loving Corruption" with sharing enabled. I was overwhelmed by the searing intensity and eroticism of the scenes which developed.
It is not my style to write a full-fledged analysis of game parameters. Just let me tell the community that this game got me hooked, especially by Ann, she is a really unique character.
I absolutely recommend this game for everybody, since all paths can be played into directions most people can identify with.

I really enjoyed the "story within a story" storyline. Pacing with the flashbacks and everything worked really well. The quality of the renders was also good, and there was a decent amount of content.

The characters were not memorable, though. It's been a few months since I played this and while I can remember some individual scenes and plotlines, I really don't recall any particular character. All the characters felt pretty generic to me.

The game demonstrates considerable potential, yet regrettably fails to deliver upon it due to subpar execution. Despite half a decade of development, the game's content remains woefully lacking. Updates, occurring at an annual pace, provide only minimal additions, hardly justifying the anticipation. Honestly, if you've got better things to do, do them. To award it even a single star seems overly charitable.

Good writing. Good pace. The characters are all distinct and feel like they have a personality. There are multiple different ways to play the game. I personally enjoyed the corruption route and highly recommend this game.

I always really look forward to this one.

The updates are a decent length, the stories are fairly realistic and the choices actually DO really make a difference! Which has become a bit rare sadly.

The renders are absolutely stunning in my book, especially the ones involving Alex. Makes it hard to decide between her and Ann, but that doesn´t matter cause you can actually like both at the same time, without cheating! Yay!

I did have some problems getting on a path that involves Vanessa without cheating on Ann or letting her go completely, but I have high hopes for a kind of Vanessa retribution arc in the future.

Emily content is not much thus far, but I love the way it´s going.

All in all quite enjoyable, this one!

Edit: Yes, I know. Not a harem game. Let me hope.

One of the best NTRs out there. Ann is cute and sexy (perfect combo) and Vanessa carry the hot tributes. The story is good and solid. Was kind of slowburn at the start but now the nice scenes keep coming. Last update was great. Love this game.

Some of the best NTR around, completely optional as well for those not into it, updates could definitely come quicker, probably the only real negative. Some varied paths that are not too hard to understand, great renders and writing.

My 1st time rating a game... I usually just move on after I'm done playing some of these games but I had take a minute for this one. I love, love, LOVE this game. From the graphics, writing, choices you can make, smokin hot scenes, and the amazing models for the girls, this game is one of if not the best game on this site. Only negative is that it's getting longer between updates. I hope TTrick makes some serious money from this game because they damn well deserve it.

I came for the NTR, stayed for everything. Awesome game ! Good mix of characters, the pace between dialogue and sex scenes is good, lots of content and great visuals. Worth trying different playtrough because choices influence what happens.

The BEST NTR Game out here. You can decide if you want to have Netori, Netorare... throughout the story so what you dont like is preventable. The characters are very unique, never saw one of them in other games and the quality is top notch!
Like all good games my biggest contra is that the updates are coming really rarely.

One of the best NTR games ever. There are many different paths and very high-quality renderings. The NTR path is optional, which adds variation to the game. Separately, I would like to note that the entire appearance of the characters is unique, and was created by the developer himself.

This game is pretty rare in that it pulls off a good NTS / sharing route, while also having a good dom / harem route.

The good:

- The art and visuals are fantastic. The animations are great.

- The sex scenes and kinks are well done and hot.

- The characters are well diversified and everyone feels like their own character.

The bad:

- The one thing I really didn't like is that, while the situations and sex scenes / animations are hot. They just don't really have a lot of build up / tension at times.

The pacing just feels a bit too fast. Like, take Ann for example. She's your typical nerdy virgin girl who is looking to break out her shell and explore herself a bit, thanks to her very sexually open friend and the MC. Ann's corruption arc is quite fast and it just felt a bit off / too unrealistic.

But at the end of the day, we're her to play porn games and jerk off. So I understand why most games have faster pacing. I just personally, enjoy and find it sexier / hotter when games are a bit more realistic in their corruption and sex scenes overall.

However, this is still a 5/5 game.
