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

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

By far one of the best cheating/sharing GF games here. What I like best are the dialogues between MC and Ann on the way to Ann's corruption and sharing the girlfriend with Chris. Hope we see more of Ann with Chris with MC's consent. The storyline in all routes is perfectly staged. You can tell the dev has experience developing games like this and knows exactly what he wants. For me, however, the love/sharing route with Ann is the best. If you don't like that, there are many other ways to have fun. Dev, Absolutely awesome work

the game is very good and the drawing of the characters and everything else is also well done the plot is interesting and there are a couple to choose which way you will go and do it and I can see that the developer loves his yoke and it's not for nothing that the subscribers subscribe to this super game and part of the soul settles into the game

Excellent title, particularly if you like sharing and NTR (though it is entirely avoidable through an option set at the start of the game). The models are hot and the writing is pretty good. There are several hot love interests, plus a gorgeous sister/roommate character.

In looking at other reviews, someone complained about this being a sandbox title. This is NOT a sandbox at all. So far it's entirely linear with branching choices. Another review complained the characters looked to be 12 years old. The Ann character looks quite young, yes, but the other characters all look to be 18-25.

I wish the game had a built-in gallery, in part because it would be easier to see how much content I could unlock by making different choices at certain stages of the story.

Otherwise, my only real complaint is that the dev's updates are fairly small. It's a crappy complaint to make, as I understand how much time and effort is required to make a game of this quality, but I'm so hungry for more!

wow, this game is really cool! Both the ntr route and the love route are well crafted and fun. I love the character development and their leaps into corruption. Ann is very beautiful and has already completely gained my attention haha
Keep up the great work dev!!!

version 0.7
Great game. It starts quite strange or even boring but after some time becomes really fun. A lot of choices, good renders and story
Can't even think about cons, only that amount of content is average for now

This is an excellent game for cheating and corruption themes. The branching is wide, the characters are well-designed and interesting. I was worried that the "maiden" character was going to be a Dating My Daughter-style eternally childlike dunce, but she actually sees fast-paced, exciting character development.

The main point of criticism I have against this game is the lack of a gallery.

This game is a typical sandbox game which requires you to click unnecessarily for sex scenes. Its story seems to be everywhere. Yet, I don't know what MC's main goal is other than fucking every female LIs/NPCs. 3D scenes and posing looked pretty good. But main LI models, Ann and Vanessa, looked like 12 years old and failed me to immerse into their stories. But some NPCs looked better especially "sister" whose story is minimal at best. I would support Dev to make a new game with the model. As for this game, I don't expect much as its story is going nowhere and felt generic.

Long review short, I really enjoyed this game...

Nah, but seriously, the love interests are cute, and the game does the whole "love or corruption?" thing really well with multiple distinct paths.

The content as of now isn't overly vast, and doesn't appear to have much added to it since I last played a year ago, but what is here is very good, and the previously mentioned multiple paths add replay-ability.

The writing is good. It can be a bit long-winded with a few instances of odd phrasing but I enjoyed it for the most part.

Overall:

This is a clear-cut 5* VN. Super fun play. Great job by the dev.

I just kind of stumbled onto this one while browsing through recent releases, not at all sorry I did.

It's a great VN with some variability in interactions, there is a fair amount of creativity applied and it shows. There is quite a bit of content to play through, no stat grinds (thank jeebus!).

The writing is decent with few errors. I laughed a fair amount at some of the stuff going on.

The renders and animation look great, navigation seems decent and well thought out.

The insta thing is kind of funny and well done, but what I wonder about is how does interacting with it tie into the story? So far, it seems like it's just neat interactive window dressing.
The alex character on the insta is hot but i can't tell if she is supposed to know that the MC exists and is interacting with her on there.

In the time that i've discovered this sort of genre and been sampling it (a few years now). This one stands out a lot and ranks among the top 5 efforts i've seen so far. I highly recommend it.
I hope to see more of this in the future!

(Played through version 0.7a2.01 OSX)

Great story. I loved it. The only reason I gave it four instead of five stars is cause I feel she was way too easy to turn into a slut. She didn't even put up a fight at all. You're like, here I'll shove your head down while you give me head, then push you to suck someone else off in front of me... and she's like, Okay whatever. LOL either way... It's heading in a perfect direction. A+

I absolutely love this game. It has it all - a lot of branches, forks, nice stories. The attention to the detail is spectacular, the realistic credibility of the characters.. I just discovered a new branch that I did not even found in the first release.

Played it like several hours and it was really fun! Looking forward.

This is another example that text, storyline and branches is the major key in a good "game", compared to a visual novel where $GameEngine is basically a PDF-viewer and just slides through images.

I love it!

This is truly a fantastic game. I tried it the other day and ended up playing for like 5 hours lol... Definitely recommend. Has all the varieties from innocent girl to raging slut to taboo love interest.

fukken excelent, cant wait for more content for this ! Amazing renders, and story, even for me who just holds CTRL i pretty much get what happenenig anyways. Built in walkthrough as a toggle would be a nice addition. work perfectly, i know these thing take time to make, but make it faster, many faps await XD

Best quality stuff, nice story, many options. Keep up the good work! Avoidable NTR, that is great. Forcing stuff can kill stories really fast, this one is nice.
I was wondering is there anything changes if you like all of the instagram pictures? If I comment some simple in the instagram profile is it matter?
