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

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.

I don't like "big tits, big ass, big cock" games, but this game is one of my favorites. The story is simple but the girls and their behavior are very endearing. The graphics are good but not exceptional... too bad. I like when they are close to reality. I hope an update comes soon. I can't wait to know the rest of the story.
Keep going on 5/5

The models are good and the writing is solid, all of the characters have distinct voices. Plot is nothing out of the ordinary, but executed all right.

But I cannot give this more than 1* because its never going to be completed. Nearing 5 years of development and there is only 3 hours of content. What is there is very good, there just isn't much of it, and none of the character routes are even close to being finished.

Story is pretty decent but also a bit boring, not a fan of NTR but atleast you can turn it off, and somehow i think this was more ment as a NTR game then not, which could be why it dident really stick with me, also got annoyed with the bitch that keeps trying to fuck MC, no means no.....i wish MC would man up and tell her to go fuck her self instend of letting her sleep over and go around nude in hes room..its hes friends girlfriend so it really just dosent make any kind of sense letting her do that.

The biggest problem i see is the animations since i wouldent say its an animated game when some sex scenes arent animated at all but just picture to picture and the animations that are there has some decent and some bad.

Virgin scene was pure shit, no blood no real pain no nothing so alot of build up for a shit scene girl goes ahh ahh ahh then mc cums scene done, and on top of that it wasent even animated just picture to picture so nothing but a fail, if any scene should be animated it would be the first time you fuck someone.

Story 3/5
Ok but a bit boring, could be it was ment to be played at NTR but not being into that i turned it off.

Girls 4/5
They look good.

Animaitons 2/5
Well its lacking in both quality and some scenes are just picture to picture.

Music 0/5
Well there is none.

Not sure how this has gotten so many high ratings, people are to nice since it really dosent come close to a true 5 star game, not with animations and 0 music so dont really get it, i would say its 2½ stars game but i rounded up to be nice.

I enjoyed this game.

There are a few games that both make we want to see what happens, and also make me interested enough to want to see the different routes. This is one of them. I will follow this game and support the creator.

Some minor opinions:
The different paths (at this stage (ver 08b)) are not equally developed. I also feel that a bit of the writing is expecting you to corrupt Ann. If you chose not to, she even remarks that she "wanted to explore more". Some of the comments (as I interpret them) by the protagonist when chatting with the unknown person also indicates that he wants her to be corrupted.

I would like to see more of Alex and the Emily in the future (and less of Vanessa).

Very nice images in most of the cases. Ann's facial expressions are a little bit exaggerated at times, and sometimes i feel that her body is too small compared to her head.

I like that you can control the NTR/sharing if you want to, it's nice to have the option.

If you are interested in the kinks listed this is worth your time.

I played for about an hour and the game put me to sleep. No music, boring story & dialogue, small cast initially (which adds to the boredom)...game seems to really push NTR - you can opt out but it doesn't give up, lol. Was just looking for something new to try and this game had good reviews / rating so wanted to try it out. Definitely not for me.

Lots of choices and they matter, greatly affecting character outcomes. The characters are distinct and interesting. The story is a bit short on plot, and the humor is a bit on the puerile side and not as funny as intended, but the pacing is good and the game is fun. But, and honest to God this is a thing, If Ann says "hehe" one more time I may need to reach right through the screen and give her a double tap. It's the only really irritating thing in the game but it's really, really irritating.

I'll go out on a bit of a limb, but I think this just might be one of the best erotic games in its genre. It has the full package: great renders, nice character design (except for Joe maybe), attention to detail in every regard, several different paths to take, choices matter greatly.

The game gives you a choice in how you want to approach any scene or encounter at every step of the way. The story is believable, with bits of humor here and there. The game does not treat itself too seriously, but also respects the player's intelligence. No unnecessary scenes, fairy limited amount of unexciting dialogue, no unnecessarily grand world building scenes. The writing both in and out of erotic encounters is nice, exciting, not unnecessarily campy nor juvenile. Every moment has a purpose, whether it be for any one character's relationship progression, or towards the overarching story.

And while on the topic of scenes, those are great! The renders have great composition, images that are meant to be photos taken with a phone have appropriate lens and focus settings to imitate an actual phone camera. The further you get into the game, the better the quality of the renders naturally, seeing how this game is quite a bit into its development now.

The characters have distinct personalities, are not just cardboard cutouts of one another, are consistent and believable. The way they text you on your phone is also quite in character for all of them, especially Ann and Vanessa. The texting segments are also quite well done too, very immersive as well.

All in all one of my favorite erotic games right now, from a dev that seems genuine, passionate about the project, and open to his audience. I've played many erotic games throughout the years, and I've only ever supported a creator on patreon once, as I'm picky about my games. This is the second time I've decided to support the creator financially, and if their works keeps up, I think I might upgrade my pledge level, as thanks for the entertainment.

This game is absolute fire, can't believe I only heard about it recently as it's become one of my all time favorites. Will be picking it up on Steam for sure and may even join the Patreon. Renders are well done, characters are diverse and engaging, feels like there are a ton of choices to go back to after one or two playthroughs to see new content, and the NTR + full control path is basically a dream game / scenario creator for "directing" sharing content. The whole cast is great but Ann is a gem.
