Overall, this is a solid NTR/Corruption game with excellent Art and good H-Scenes. The story and gameplay are decent but don’t stand out. Defiantly worth a try.

Detailed Review:

Warning: This section of the review contains spoilers. They shouldn't spoil the enjoyment of the game, but consider yourself warned.

Story and Narrative: 6/10

Plot:
The year is 1911. Elio, a politician, is living a peaceful and happy life with his elf wife and secretary, Loretta. One day, he lands the job to be editor-in-chief for a newspaper agency and things start to change.
Trouble strikes when Fabro, a member of the same party as Elio, appears. Using hypnosis, Fabro tries to steal Loretta for his own. Will Loretta be able to resist Fabro’s hypnosis? Or will she fall into depravity and corruption?

Story:
At the beginning of the game, you can choose between two perspectives. You can play either from Elio's or Loretta's point of view. Both perspectives follow the same story and can lead to the same ending.
When playing Elio’s perspective, you will encounter very few extra H-scenes. However, they are still subtly hinted at. You can see Loretta’s character model giving Fabro a blowjob or getting fucked in another room. In the story, Elio doesn’t witness this, but as the player, you can.
Elio’s perspective has three endings, and only from this perspective can you avoid the hypnosis and NTR. Unfortunately, the only way to achieve the good ending is by interrupting every single H-scene. If you miss even one, you’ll end up with one of the two alternate endings where Loretta becomes corrupted. There is no middle-ground ending where she gets hypnotized and stays with her husband. This is quite disappointing. This aspect also creates a problem with the story, as for the full narrative to unfold, every scene must happen normally. Therefore, Elio's perspective is only truly relevant to the story if you achieve the good ending or if you allow every H-scene to play out.
Loretta's perspective does not allow for escaping the hypnosis. She is completely at Fabro’s mercy. Unfortunately, the hypnosis is used only somewhat effectively. While there are good ideas, it mainly stays confined to the H-scenes and only minimally affects Loretta’s character. Additionally, the two endings are somewhat disappointing. In my opinion, the story should have focused more on the relationship between Loretta and Fabro, rather than Fabro letting other men fuck Loretta.

Gameplay: 6/10

Gameplay:
The game is structured like most RPGs. You can freely move around on the well-designed map and talk to different characters. However, you don’t have true freedom. The H-scenes are marked with an exclamation point and you can choose which scene to do first, but there’s only one sequence that follows the story in the correct order. This Sequence you’ll have to figure out yourself. As a hint the one recommended by the "Scrawny Fortune Teller" matches the story sequence pretty closely.
After playing a scene, you must end the day in your home. After sleeping, you can select another scene until no scenes are left. Then, there’s a story event, followed by more scenes. Overall, the game has three sections where scenes and free roam events can be selected in a semi-free manner. This structure becomes tedious by the second or third section and starts to feel repetitive, especially the constant running back to your house to end the day.
At the end of the three sections, unless you're pursuing the good ending from Elio's perspective, you’ll have to make a choice that leads to one of two different endings. These endings are slightly longer H-scenes.

Bugs and Glitches:
I didn’t encounter any mayor bugs, and the few minor bugs don’t lessen the enjoyment. Overall, the game had no quality issues.

Gallery/Replay Mode:
There is a Recollection Mode. This mode can only be accessed from the game’s starting screen and is not directly integrated into the gameplay. Apart from standing portraits in the free roam events, all the complete H-scenes are available to watch again.

Status Screen:
The game features an H-Status Screen, which is a nice addition. While the screen is quite basic, it does display a few interesting stats, such as "Jizz Extracted" and "Amount Squirted." There’s also a Sexual Resistance stat, but it doesn’t influence the story and is purely for show. The same applies to the sensitivity of Loretta’s sexual areas.

Graphics and Art Style: 9/10

Art Style:
The Art Style is excellent. Loretta is extremely attractive, and the scenes look great. The only things I’m not a fan of are Loretta’s unproportionally large breasts and the tattoos and piercings in the later part of the story. It's nice that Loretta's clothing changes, although this only happens once.

RPG Design:
The RPG-Map design is very well done, with a noticeable attention to detail. The character models, especially Loretta’s, are quite impressive. In particular, when Loretta’s model hints at H-scenes, you can really appreciate the quality of the design.

Adult Content: 7/10

H-Scenes:
There are 38 different H-scenes, but only 20 unique scenarios. Often, the same image is repeated for two H-scenes in a row. The character portraits during the free roam events with other men also tend to repeat. On the plus side, there’s no censorship, and everything is fully visible.
The content of the H-scenes is quite good, with a wide variety ranging from masturbation to full exhibitionist sex. There are also scenes with tentacles and pregnancy. Unfortunately, in my opinion, there are too many scenes with other men besides Fabro, including the free roam events. Additionally, I would have liked to see more scenes involving or directly incorporating Elio.
The quality of the H-scenes is unfortunately not outstanding due to the animations and sound. However, the great art style and Loretta’s voice acting help make up for it.

Animation:
There are a few animations in the H-scenes. However, the animations feel stiff and don’t quite match the sound, which diminishes the quality of the H-scenes.

Sound and Audio: 7/10

Background Music and Sounds:
The background music is basic and has a small variety. Nothing major, but it doesn’t detract from the experience either.

Sounds during the H-scenes
The H-scenes lack additional moans, with only Loretta’s voice present during her dialogue. Apart from her voice, the only sounds are the rhythmic pumping and climaxing, which makes the scenes feel somewhat mechanical and dry.

Voiced:
Loretta’s dialogue is fully voiced in Japanese, both in the main story and the H-scenes. The voice acting suits the scenes well and adds more life to them.

Enjoyment: 7/10

Game Duration:
The game isn’t too long or too short. For both narrative paths, the game takes around 10-12 hours if you play thoroughly. Elio’s path takes about 2-3 hours, while Loretta’s path lasts approximately 7-10 hours. If you’re just skipping to watch all the H-scenes, it’ll take around 2 hours to complete both paths.

Enjoyment:
Pretty good. At the beginning, it’s quite interesting to see how the hypnosis develops and what effects it will have. Later on, it becomes a bit repetitive, especially since there are more scenes with other males and the relationship with Fabro takes a backseat.

Summary:

Positives:

• Two different perspectives
• Solid foundations of a hypnosis and corruption story
• Excellent Art Style
• Gallery/Replay Mode
• Status screen
• FMC voiced

Negatives:

• Story issues with Elio's perspective
• Monotonous gameplay
• Illusory freedom
• Similarity in H-scene scenarios and graphics
• For me, too many scenes involving side characters

Amazing art, but very unsatisfying story due to how hypnosis is implemented. While hypnosis can be fun, this is done in a really boring way - so much so that it takes away from the corruption. The mechanics are simple, speak to an NPC then get a scene, but unfortunately that, too, isn't implemented well.

+ Great MC character design
+ Lovely art
+ Uncensored
+ H-stats

- Weak mechanics
- Weak corruption
- Lame story
- Scene collector with little depth

Overall, a mediocre game carried by great art. 6/10.

Amazing art, and the scenes are pretty hot. Worth mentioning is the main character, Loretta, who has a beautiful design. I feel it lacks a bit in the corruption aspect because it involves hypnosis, which I'm not really a fan of. But as an NTR game, it's really good. The gameplay is very simple (just talking to different NPCs each day), and the corruption itself is fast, but nonetheless, it's worth a playthrough—especially because of the art.

Overall - 6/10
Simple ntr + corruption story via hypnosis, good Hscenes decent animations + good art + good dialogue + setting.
Simple gameplay with good Hscenes.
Story - 5/10
Note can play from either perspective but both are very similar in outcomes
Both you and your wife work at town hall, new dude Fablo hypnotizes and corrupts your wife overtime into a whore. From wholesome to doing sexual acts in public etc.
Animations/renders - 7/10
Only animations in Hscenes -> look rigid, still good to look at as the art is good
Hscenes- 7/10
Although simple animations, the settings + dialogue of scenes are good
Sounds -6/10
basic
Playability - 6/10
gameplay -> usually 1 story event a day -> sleep -> repeat
few POIs to go to since game doesn't always tell you where to go -> can get frustrating to search around for which POI event is happening at.
No real decisions, no bugs, slow movement speed, no combat, smallish map (good thing)

Gmae has a good publisher and a good premise but I can't for the love of God play it for some reason, I get stuck after 1 chapter or whatever you would call it after another. Prolly too stupid for that game, afterall it's a thinking man's fetish

The art is very much an acquired taste. The style of the wife is a bit disproportionate and the art is rather busy, but hey some people are into that, ya know. It is voiced and animated with the option to turn the voice off. Additionally, there is an adequate amount of scenes available. The previews give an accurate glimpse of what this game presents.

The game itself is a short CG collector with no freedom. You go from point A to point B to point C collecting scenes with no choice in what you do. As I say with every single "RPG" game that does this, why make an RPG game instead of a VN? The same answer applies every time as well: it's because the story sucks ass so it couldn't work as a VN either.

The story relies on a lazy hypnosis plot in order for the corruption and NTR to kick off. The story itself is equally as lazy and spirals downward from there. It's trash and isn't redeemable. NTR stories need to have a decent build up and a decent corruption arc, and this game lacks both. The follow-through is also half-assed. This game just exists to milk devoted NTR fanboys who gobble up any slop put before them. There is also a "husband POV" version of the story, but it's somehow worse than the wife POV and not even worth trying.

I don't think it's worth your time or effort unless you're really into the art and have no preference for story quality. Even then, just download a full save and use the decent recollection room.

Very Low-Mid game overall, the only saving grace is the arts which is good, so if your intention is only her to fap to cgs, i recommend to just get a full save from someone here.
Also the male protag pov suck balls, there barely anything to do beside you choosing to whether or not letting your wife be ntr'ed by hypnosis ( which is used less as a main point selling point and more like just a convenient way to justify the cg, like there nothing else here), or you intervene which doesnt actually matter so long as the stat not getting high enough(in this case you can get your wife be messed around on part 1 and part 2, ignore part 3 entirely) which lead to the pure ending which is an ok for me, i guess.
Overall i really want to give this game a 1 star since it just a "cg viewer" game, and the only thing saving it is of course what i said at the start.

You can choose to save your wife (if you play the husband) or play as Loretta herself and be defiled. The scenes and the voice acting (from Loretta) are amazing. The art style is good. Although the gameplay is somewhat basic as it is just RPGM, it is still good enough to tell the plot of the game. There are no combat system as it is story/choice driven. I recommend this game if you want a quick fun.

I don't know why this was even made beyond trying to get more money out of people who hunt down anything NTR, the art is the only draw to this game and it's the only thing you'll get out of it.

While the art is very good, everything else is unsatisfying and pointless, I don't care for NTR so I'm after more of the corruption based stuff plus massive tits. In this story it feels like every other character was slapped on just to have them there for a scene, the husband or whatever felt especially pointless.

On top of that it's just linear walk to event, walk to next event with no options or choice, so at that point why even make a game? Just make a VN. But then you realize, the story isn't even good, it just exists to hit the extra tags. In reality should've just been a doujin focused on the main girl getting railed by whatever ethereal dicks and lazily drawn side characters the artists threw into this.

The game has nice graphics, but that's it.

The biggest problem I have with the game is that it is the wrong genre for RPGM. It's basically a visual novel. The story is straight-forward, without any need to run around a map. There is not even a journal; if you are stuck and don't know where to go, a NPC tells you vaguely where to go.
And too make it worse, there is no running in the game. Technically, it is, but the "running" in this game is the slow walking in your default RPGM game.

The different kinks are nice, but they don't feel like part of the story but more like a nice addition.

Given the straight-forward nature of the plot, there is no corruption system, which renders the H-Stats pretty useless because you can't really affect them except by doing some scenes over and over.

This game offers players a unique experience by allowing them to explore the story from both male and female perspectives. Such a design deepens the player's immersion, making us feel as if we are truly part of the story.

In addition to this dual-perspective approach, the game's art style is also exceptionally captivating and artistic. Especially for those who appreciate elements of NTR, this game is an absolute must-play.

Diving deeper into the game's backdrop, the story is set in Italy just before World War I. Although the male and female protagonists are entirely fictional, some characters in the game closely align with historical figures. For instance, the female protagonist's teacher, based on his traits and actions, seems to draw heavily from a real historical figure - Mussolini. At that time, Mussolini was a radical socialist known for his opposition to colonial wars, having been arrested multiple times and recognized as a prominent atheist.

In the game, the political party of the male protagonist resonates strongly with the real historical Italian Socialist Party (PSI). The party's newspaper named "Avanti!", and the internal opposition between the moderate and radical factions appear to mirror the real-life disputes between the Reformists and the Maximalists within the PSI during the early 20th century. Mussolini's takeover on behalf of the Maximalists during the 1912 party congress, leading to an unfortunate outcome, is also reflected in the game's narrative, presenting a poignant bad ending.

One of the best mystery NTR rpg game that I played...The 2 perspective character POV make the same scenes give different feeling and impacts. The story with hypnosis mystery ,makes it really unique from all of the rest. Great

It's pretty average all around. Typical porn writing when it comes to introducing the virgin woman to degenerate stuff, this time being by way of hypnosis. It's in a RPG format style game but has no gameplay whatsoever besides walking over to the impending corruption. It's missing a lot of QoL stuff, and by that I mean the skip button on this dialogue, because lets be real, even if I did come to bust a nut I just wasn't captivated.

That's the negative portion. I do like the art, there's voice and animation to it so it's not a complete dumpster fire. 3/5 being generous, it'd have been lower if the art and animation didn't carry it.

It's good. Not perfect, but good.

If you want something that's, in essence, a scene hunt with some small choices that barely matter (on the male route at least), this is for you. The game contains no battles, no puzzles, none of the common frustrations which can come packaged with RPG Maker games.

You can do far worse for this sort of genre as well.

The male route has a lot more implication style NTR rather than flashing CGs in your face (although you see sprites and get the occasional sex scene or CG when things are almost over), but I find that and the status screen works well enough in combination with the dialog. You see more on the female route of course, but I didn't play that and just saw some of the scenes in the viewer.

Scene wise the game is great, and you won't be disappointed by the writing, art or voice acting. Loretta, the sole girl if that wasn't obvious, is cute and the little details definitely make her stand out compared to more generic heroines. She's an elf and there's very flimsy "story" reasons for it, but that can be excused for the sake of hentai. There's a good bit of variety in the acts as well, just as there is with other AVANTGARDE titles.

If I were to improve this I'd definitely focus on replay-ability. The male route only seems to have either a zero or one hundred outcome for Loretta's corruption and could have definitely used both more variations in dialog and what sort of "state" she ends up in depending on what scenarios she's been subjected to. I was quite disappointed when I figured out such alternative outcomes didn't exist after trying a few times, honestly.

If you're aware of what you're in for you'll probably find at least two sessions worth of enjoyment from this title. If you want something similar with a bit more game and choice to it, check out Fox Girls Never Play Dirty from the same developer.

A lazy CG hunter with nice art. It's ostensibly NTR, but can be taken as a corruption story with little need to interact with the cuck.

The bulk of the content is about hypnosis, but it's mostly used as a plot convenience rather than as a fetish. You have a few very short plot lines that get two scenes then are dropped and never spoken of again with maybe a repeatable events that just retread content you've already seen and don't even bother to tweak the writing as the plot progresses so you'll get continuity issues galore in an already dead simple plot. All this combines to create an impression that the game is just going through the motions to finish a content checklist.

You can probably get a fap session out of this due to the art, but if you skip it you aren't missing much.

++ Great art and decent animation

However shit usage of the game mechanics...
This is so linear, it might as well be a kinetic novel.

The exhibitionist stripping mode is so lackluster why even put it in the game.

All this game has is nice make up pretending to be something with deeper gameplay overall...

Play Karin's prison for a good RPGM game. Or oneone1's game like ideology in friction for a decent RPGM game.

Title: Good game, but with room for improvement
Score: 3.5/5 or 4/5
Overview: The game has some strong points, but there are also areas where it could be improved.
Pros:

• The game has good CGs and animation that enhance the experience.
• Players who are interested in kinky content will find plenty of opportunities to explore the game.
• The inclusion of NTR content may appeal to some players, and it is avoidable for those who are not interested. (But it is not other content, lol)

Cons:

• The game is described as short, which may disappoint players who are looking for a longer experience.
• It is not possible to skip text quickly, which can be frustrating for some players.
• Players may feel that the game needs more content, as it feels incomplete or lacking in depth.
• Some players may be disappointed that there is no route where she can fight and end the NTR storyline.

Overall, the game has potential, but there are areas where it could be improved to create a more satisfying experience for players.

There is no middle ground in hypnosis.

You open the game, start anew, and select who you want to play as. The husband does not see any of the hidden scenes, but you can see the wife's sprite bobbing her head between a man's legs or bent over taking it from behind in another room. Not that the husband can see this, but the idea it is going on is pretty hot. Now you can stop the wife from behind hypnotized, and have a good end. Keep in mind, if she is hypnotized at all she will become a cock-slobbering whore by the end. There is no in-between hidden ending where you let her become hypnotized enough to make her more fun in bed or stay with the husband while still fucking other men on the side, no, you can either let her be someone's play thing or keep her your prudish wife. Sad.

Selecting the wife is where you'll earn all the CGs, as the wife has zero ways to avoiding the hypnosis by her old teacher and his riverside skipping stone. The elf wife is pretty damn hot, good tits, nice ass, and the bald chad has fun plunging the wife in and out of hypnosis while force feeding her his cock or breeding her outside a church. Returning home will lead to different scenes where your level of corruption will become more and more evident to the husband, can't really hide the fact you're wearing an outfit that lets your tits hang out. He's not that daft.

What scenes you can unlock are pretty nice, from a stuck-in-wall gangbang train, to sucking off her coworkers, to being turned into a plaything for a tentacle monster. How baldy got his hands on one of those is beyond me.

Anyways, overall, a pretty good NTR hypnosis corruption game. Wish there was more subtle hinting though, like the husband seeing his wife after being used like a cum sock and her CG showed that her nipples were visible through her clothes, or there was some cum leaking from between her legs, or a condom hanging out of a pocket. Also, a damn shame there was no way to get her hypnotized enough to turn her into a slut but not enough for her to ditch her husband. I wanted to make her a hot wife who fucks her husband just as good as she sucks off her husband's boss, pastor, coworker, police friend, etc etc.

The game was pretty good. I enjoyed the artwork, character design, and plot. however, the hypnosis was a bit of a miss for my test. others will like it though. the game provided us with two endings. Good job developers.

Graphics are great - elf with big cow tits and some animation. Other than that, play this only if you are into the hypnosis kink. I looked forward to the NTR but the hypnosis ruined it (I know, it's in the title of the game). A good corruption storyline would have been better. Instead, it was just a vehicle for lazy writing.

And I say this because I played through the entire game, all endings, both perpsectives. I wanted to see if it could be redeemed. There was one moment that I thought it felt more like corruption but was then immediately ruined because the writing went right back to the hypnosis crutch.
