VN - Others - Long Story Short [v0.9 final] [TTrickGames]

I'm on the 4th run of the game,
Renders are just great, and Story is very interesting,
as well as the side girls, and the Love\Hate and Chris Sharing path
Excited to see the next updates, and more routes

Pretty crap story, some sexy girls but on a whole this didn't do a lot for me.
The paths are convoluted, I don't like the way the game is structured, and frankly the narrative is lame overall.

Admittedly I'm not a fan of fap and go games, so if you like that this my be for you, but it did absolutely nothing for me.

Nearly a perfect game! Great rendors and models. Plenty of action with a nice amount of tease. The insta-grind wears on me a bit and I'd like to see more action with Emily but... beggers can't be choosers. 5 stars; easy.

Great game overall.

Good renders, unique looking textures and art style (though it takes a minute to get used to the big-head appearances)

Fantastic writing and story, and ability to chose your own path clearly with decisions.

Only drawbacks would be-
Too short overall, and some of the stories feel woefully underdeveloped, if that changes it could easily be in top 10 of games on site.

The game/art/writing is incredible. One of my favorite games to surface from this site in a long time. All of the routes need quite a bit more work and scenes before they're finished, but what's there right now is pretty great. Hopefully there's many more fetishes to come and be included in it. I can't wait to see how the game grows. Hopefully it has some of the juiciest NTR scenes around.

Amazing game. I love that your choices matter to some degree. Graphics are wonderful. Pacing of the game is just right. The story is nothing special but well-told. For me the best thing is that you do not know straight away which girl you will get and when.

A great game with the emphasis on corrupting girls and turning them into sluts. There's also a big NTR vibe going on, but that part is avoidable. There is room for romance but the game mostly screams corruption and NTR. If that is not your jam, steer clear.
Most of the locations you have seen a million times before in other DAZ games but the girls are absolutely stunning and fun characters if not a bit cliched : the nerdy virgin, the crazy slut, the hot sister...
The lewd scenes and animations are very well done and the game keeps improving in that department.
There's a lot of other swinging dicks in town, trying to steal or share your girls. Personally I don't mind all that much, but without a decent walk-through (there isn't one) the game quickly becomes a minefield.
A gallery (non Unity version) to relive the different sexy scenes on the many branching paths would not be a luxury either. Obviously it would also enable us to know what scenes we have missed and have to try and unlock.
The lack of walk-through and gallery however do not justify me giving it less than 5 stars. Very much enjoyed playing it.

Note: I will rate 5 for games that I think are worth the download (even if incomplete or imperfect) and 1 for games that I think are not worth wasting time (although in my text I talk about their positive aspects).


I think it's a good game, although I don't like the context: you're a geek who doesn't do anything and your best friend who was obese gets skinny working out at the gym and gets a hot girlfriend. So he introduces you to her and she plans to hook you up with her friend. The game is basically these relationships at the beginning and it puts you in making complex decisions. Choices affect relationships and you find yourself in dilemmas.

The point is, your friend's girlfriend is hot, a kind of seductive SELENA GOMEZ. But her friend is not pretty. She was supposed to be the MC's love interest, but the developer failed to make her attractive. So, this induces you to choose to try to have sex with your friend's girlfriend! And the game actually lets you do that. Renders are OK, some animations are good and some are bad. Something bad is that they exaggerated the texture of the skin, making the skin look ugly. Another negative point is that the game ALL THE TIME puts situations where another man wants to have sex with your girls. But you can choose not let that happen. The game is incomplete and other hot girls appear in the story, but we can't do anything with them yet.

My oh my oh my, what a gem this one is.

Great girls, ton of choices and really nice scenes.
Not too many scenes, mind you, but what's there is great.
Going to be a pain in the backside to close all possible routes, waiting eagerly to see how the dev does it.

A great game, with really high quality animations. It's amazing that a game just over one gigabyte in size has so much quality detail. All the animations are smooth, the static pictures are brilliantly worked out, and that is why this game should not be missed. Now about the cons and what could be improved:
- The engine on which the game is made will not be to everyone's liking. The screenshots are uncomfortable to make, sometimes the game text spoils a great picture.
- The game has no music, it's a shame because such a lively project needs it. Just look at the scenes with nymph-Valentine, just add music and you'll see everything in a different light!
- The plot of the game a lot of people may not like. The main character is devoid of any positive qualities, which is alarming, because we have to play for a deviant teenager. It would be nice if the protagonist had something to be respected.
- The ubiquitous NTR, which feels like something more than the main relationship branch. Hopefully there will be more room for traditional relationships in future updates.
Nevertheless, this is a high-grade 5/5 for the picture, animation, sissy Emily and crazy Val

For the moment, it is the best game i have ever played. Graphically its very beautiful, i like the faces of woman. The story is twisted at will. There are several choices of route. I recommend this game.

Very hot so far! Only played the Ann stuff, since she's the one I'm most interested in. Really enjoyed both the pure love route and the sharing her with Chris slut route (especially audition training was a great scene).
One thing I don't like: The thoughts of the MC sometimes don't really fit my choices, which is a bit immersion breaking. For example, I'm on the pure love Ann route, trying to be a good boyfriend to her and a good friend to Joe, nobody else interests me. Now I have the chance to get another girl's number, but (being a faithful boyfriend) I say no, however the MC suddenly thinks "Man, I think I fucked this up!" Doesn't happen too often though so that's a minor gripe.

v0.7
I saw "romance" tag and it caught my attention .... was " a bait, I honestly don't know why it's there, renders are great but the female characters head is too big!!!, it looks like the head isn't part of their body. So if you like brainless cheating whores, this game is for you.
I liked Emily and Alex but surely they'll turn them into brainless whores just to satisfy fetishes

Long Story Short is a very good VN. It's got excellent renders, choices that matter, good corruption, and hot scenes. Honestly, it has just about everything I like to see in a quality VN.

It's not perfect, however. The characters are very one-dimensional. They each want one thing (or nothing) and that's basically their only motivations, the weird exception being the MCs best friend. It's really bizarre that a male character in a sex game is the most developed, but it is what it is.

The story is less than stellar. It leads to some very hot scenes, but there isn't much in the way of an overarching story or dramatic character growth (though the corruption is quite good). It's basically a slice of life story with plenty of sexy times.

Nevertheless, it's worth a play. There's a lot of routes to explore and I'm curious where the dev plans to go with everything. I'd love a path where Vanessa gets what she deserves more than anything. I want her to care about something and have it taken away. She's a shallow, vapid, horrid bitch who doesn't care about anything or anyone.

Really digging this story so far. It has good choices and different paths to choose. The girls are cute and the story is a fun read and has drawn me in to see what happens. I like the variety of choices and the kinky stuff the characters get into. Please keep it going I want to see what happens!

Here's what i dont understand, this game does top tier work in everything it does but there isnt enough attention for this masterpiece. At first it was hard to play this game since there are tons of routes to go thru as you can only release so much content for them but man, in latest updates, where we see a more corrupt Ann, things got to a point that i couldnt imagine it would be, it ended up being one of the best NTR games out there. There really arent many games that explores NTR in depth as much as this game does. If you're an absolute NTR hater, game has things to offer to you too i suppose, it does its best to warn you at everywhere it might occur.

v0.7 Final

I really liked this one. You play a young man who is reunited with an old friend which leads to you meeting a bunch of women who you can hook up with. The writing is very straightforward and workmanlike, and I appreciated how the choices are really straightforward but still manage to take you down different routes. The renders felt a bit rough but nothing too bad. There's a decent amount of content for this still being an early release. I dug it.

If you like cheating? NTR? Sharing? Blackmail? Then there is something here you might enjoy.

Me? I like romance. Which is why I downloaded this game. That tag is included.
It shouldn't be.

Pros are simple. Renders are decent, girls look nice, game is competently made. Writing may be hamfisted but it is in readable English.
In short, the game isn't AWFUL, so I can't rate it 1 star.

But anyone playing with the goal of romance, or of just playing an MC that isn't a horrible person, will find nothing here.

One of my biggest frustrations is that the only choices that seem to be "right" are all bad. When I'm playing a love route, why is my character such a piece of shit?

I just see nothing in this game that is enjoyable. I highly doubt anyone with similar tastes to me would find much to contradict me.

Based on what I was under the impression would be a viable option in the game (romance route) and how I feel it delivered on that content, I think this game deserves, and only barely, 2 stars.

edit: two things I didn't say that I should say.
The MC is exceptionally rapey. Again, I played the romance route, so I have to assume the blackmail and hate routes are worse, but to progress in the love route he is super rapey.

Second, every girl in the game is a whore. Or, in Ann's case, trying to become one. Her love route consists of her going from kissless virgin sweet girl to her wanting to be in porn, in a week.
I think it's silly to play a game where every female is an untouched virgin... and obviously the game only has content if the girls are highly sexual. But I don't like stories revolving around girls who are, or are aspiring to be, total sluts.
And, in a game where, again, I came in with a romance tag and being told there was a love route, I find this horribly off putting.

Best game I played in the last months. Loved the IG Social Idea, I wish the likes and the comments can have a more important impact on the girls' attitude. Hope to see more games like this one, keep going like this!

It's a good VN and I'm kicking myself for avoiding it for so long just because it's not Renpy. I especially like Vanessa and regret she's your best friend's girl. But the other girls are hot too, especially your sister (if you decide that's what she is, you can leave the default 'roommate' when the game asks).
There are quite a few choices and I haven't explored all of them, and some consequences will only be seen in the future.
Image quality is high and so are the sex-scene animations.
I'm looking forward to the next updates, hopefully we get to do some stuff with the sister
