VN - Ren'Py - Mastering the Pink Box [v0.09] [Studio 68 Games!]

Game plays straight into the sex-fueled college days fantasy, and does so quite nicely. I personally like how much is in the hands of the player and the choices made.

Very appreciated that MC is not a wimp that simply is subject to the flow, but you can actually influence things (not sharing specific girls, or how far you're willing to share, player agency is indeed quite good).

So far, I don't see netorare in this game (one could argue about the ex, but if she's an ex, that's not really NTR, is it?), but there's definitely netori and plenty of netorase/swinging - actually very nice to see MC getting his fill, not another "swinging" game where only the girl gets to see some action.

Improvement area I'd point out is writing consistency, as sometimes same character changes tone throughout the story, which can be a bit distracting (also "would have" instead of "would of" and a couple of cases of "your" / "you're" confusion).

This is masterpice but i think this game missing NTR tag and i found this only by swinging tag story telling very good and solid i loved Charlie i hope in the future she will get more NTR action and it will be good if we can start relationship with her i hope developer will continue the same way excellent work

I like a lot of the kinks this game has, and the writing/renders are passable, but I really dislike forced scenes w/ characters I don't like. In different AVN's that are more focused on a smaller cast/single LI, forced scenes are fine. But when you give us a bunch of different girls and the choices to pursue most of them, it's really annoying getting forced into routes with a few. In a game like this with a bunch of diverse content, I wish we had more control over the content/girls we liked and didn't like.

This writer understands what makes sharing stories fun.

MTPB is a sex-positive romp through a "traditional" (porn university) college experience, with most of the flavors on the menu: netori/netorase/group/romance/bros/antagonist greasers/etc. Love that there are multiple swing/share storylines being built up and (at least at the moment) they don't feel exclusionary. All of the girls have their charms, but Devon is shaping up to be one of my favorite love interests of all time. Basically everything you'd want as a share/swing enthusiast. The v09 car wash scenes are Aces!

5/5 college fuck-fest. Does things other games are scared to do. Would recommend if your into the college vibe where lots of sex is happening and not just to the MC . No boring backstory either - just sex, hot bikini car washes, and more sex.

IMO underated game

this game is the sharing/swinging dream, college fuck fest, but with a girlfriend that doesn't mind you fucking other girls, or even you asking her to fuck other guys/girls (in the future for sure)

It's also cool you can decide how far you want to share a certain girl, if you really like one or two girls, and don't feel like sharing them, you can do that, and just share the others.

I still don't know what I'll do with Devon, she is the perfect girlfriend, dunno about sharing her with other guys in the future, but with girls for sure, also FFM threesome, and if she gets off watching MC fucking others girls (cuckquean), then the game will be perfect.

I also like that the focus of the game is sex talk, teasing and sex in college and night club, keeps things spicy, and not boring.

Lets see if the MC buys The Pink Box, and manages which college girls to pimp more or less (color bracelet) in the club.

The game has great potential!

Devon, my favorite character so far, she's definitely girlfriend material, besides being beautiful, she has a good personality, and about the game, yes, the story is nothing new, but it's that simple one that's good, very good in fact, since both the scenes and the characters are very well done, although in these last updates I noticed that at the time of the scenes there is a small delay when moving from one angle to another, but anyway, this is a good game for those who like pretty girls and good scenes.

A great game, one of the best sharing games on the site. If you're looking for a fun fuck-fest type game that has some great humor and doesn't take itself too seriously then look no further.
Oh and it has Devon, one of the best girls ever made.

Poorly written and inconsistent dialogue. For example the story opens with an accident that results in the MC being in a coma for 3 weeks. When he wakes up he doesn't seem to care about his parents, potential health issues the fact that despite not telling the nurse the name of his ex gf, who has already mentioned she knows nothing about MC, she somehow knows her name and he just...glosses over this weirdnes. Infantile humour and just a constant running internal monologue of "i'd fuck that". While sharing/NTR wouldn't be a personal interest of mine I can still play such games if the writing is of a basic minimum standard.

story 7/10

The story starts a little confusing and the dev i think remade the beginning (might be wrong but i swear we saw and talked to the ex-gf before outside the college).
but it ramps up, after the first week we start to understand a bit the situation of the MC, and get a decent idea of how things can play out.
i also like freedom of choice, wich this game has but it could definetly do with more.

Girls: 10/10

The girls are pretty much all hotties, great variety of choice, and i think there is more girls to come.
Their personality is varied, and we do get to know a little bit of each of them, but i think their personality could be more in depth at least we know who we are actually dealing with. also there seems to be some story related thing that can happen, if the MC has a girlfriend, but for that we would need to spend more time with them and get to know them even more, not just Devon and Aimee.

Gameplay: 8/10

its fluid enough, things that happen make sense, and the story follows a plot but you still are free to choose what you want to see or not, and who you want your willy in or not. not like many other games that introduce a bunch of kinks but dont know what to do with all of them.

Overall 4/5 maybe even a 4.5 but its good to keep the devs honest.
good freedom of choices, either route you want to follow you got content for, you can be a degen or not, share or not... and the dev seems good on developing multiple routes without missing the plot.

Game is great, most of the girls are really hot and have fun scenarios/setups for their scenes. The best way to describe it is a college free-for-all, but with most characters still having their own pairings/relationships. The gist of it is everyone kind of likes to mess around and experiment, so if you're into that this game is for you.

As a fan of netorase/swinging as well, it's impressive that a game with this much carefree sex manages to build the main relationship with the MC and Devon in a satisfying way, while also teasing at how the MC can explore swinging/sharing her in the future.

I'm very excited to see how things develop from here on out and will be following this game closely, as it has quickly became one of my favorites on the site.

The story is bland and it was just to hard for me to read due to having a childish MC with a big tit fetish, constant zoom ins on tits, MC thinking about tits and how great they look, theres just 0 chance of having an immersion in the story when you arent allowed to think for your self, having to read how hot something is when you as the player think she/its ugly as hell breaks kills it.

Its also just to cringy, MC walking aroung perving on everyone thinking "i´d do her" then "i´d do all the girls in this room" why do so many devs think this is how a standard MC should think i just dont get it, let it be up to the players to think on their own ffs, also it dosent help that the rental on a brain was over due and someone clearly claimed it back.

Also not sure what age group this is aimed at but starting out with fart jokes is

Story totaly lost me when MC gets told to come into a girls room and she tells him to drop hes pants and he just simply obey, so MC is also extremly submissive and pretty much ticks all the boxes i hate in a MC and also im just not into whores so game was an instant turn-off.

Game also forces girls on you, take Misty i dident want anything to do with her but she is forced and ends with MMF shit which is forced on you, its just absolutly idiotic since ealiere in game you could say no to a MMF but guess dev dident like players doing that so they forced one insted? awfull game man.

It also means you have 0 choices in anything and MC will fuck whoever no matter what the players want, in other words a mindless fuckfest game and personaly i just dont see any point in that type of game, it might as well put a kinetic novel tag on and call it a day, atleast that way players not into forced shit and kinetic novels wont waste their time.

Theres also just way to many sex scenes with other dudes, i couldent care less about seeing that shit and when it happens none stop its again just a turn-off.

Also ran into game breaking renpy errors, grey screen after grey screens to the point i could only quit the game, so if you dont follow what dev expect you to do it might result in that which also ruins the game.

As for girls they look ok and there a bit of diversity in builds so its ok but still just around average.

Animations are a bit below average.
And for Music there are none making it even more hard to get through.

And last choices, in the start you have a few but then game goes close to full kinetic forcing everything from girls to MMF so for me its a hard pass on this.

i would rate it with 3 star from what ive seen so far, but if the story will go somewhere(the mistery behind parents dead) and the night club management will be a thing, the potential is there to be a good game

So far the thing i felt that can come to be a problem is the speed girls throw themselves ate MC, sure a porn game its about sex but if mc fucks every girl in school before the story even starts the dev end up in a dead end

Is the game good? Yes. Do I recommend it? Maybe.

This one is weird. There's something about it that just feels out of place and is missing from making it an even better game. Can I tell what that something is? I don't think I can at the moment.

If you've played through the intro, you know something is being set up but at the moment, it's not really that important because our MC is about to enter college and knows all about the stories of sexual exploration that that entails.

Let's start with the story: our MC just started college and is going through his daily life. No stakes aside from missing the next girl to bag for our MC but there is something going on in the background. What we do know is that our MC is going to end up owning and managing a business of his own, and with the name of the game being one of such businesses he's heard of during his few days in college - the answer's pretty obvious.

Some of the reviews has said that the dialogue is childish and honestly, I don't blame anybody for this. This is just the direction it's going to be because our MC is an unassuming non-asshole dudebro who doesn't like sports but is out to get laid as much as possible and is also probably what the creator thinks is entertaining while at the same time is fitting for a freshman these days.

Next are the characters. I've already said what I think of the MC but what's most important are the girls. Let's start with who is most likely going to be the main girl: Devon. She's hot and sexy, she cosplays, is a bro, is willing to put up with our MC's shit, doesn't mind talking about girls, she's upfront with what she likes - an introverted nerd's wet dream. Aside from her, we got other girls that are also hot with their own different personalities but what's different between her and them is that there is more build up with Devon and she has way more screen time that's not just sex (so far).

Now comes a point of contention which is the main kink in this game: sharing. It already says on the summary that sharing is an option although it's not on the tags nor is it likely that to do otherwise will be the main route. So far there hasn't really been an option to make a girl yours completely and if you choose not to join any ongoing activity between a guy and a gal, you'd be cockblocking yourself in the process. You want an example of why I say that? Our girl Devon asks us a question about something that happened in the subway and if you go for the option that's likely to lead to sharing, she has more to say about it compared to if you say otherwise. See that? More exposition, more dialogue for the option that caters toward the main kink and that's why it leads me to believe that keeping the girls to yourself isn't the true route.

The visuals are good, haven't seen any issues really with the renders for the sex scenes. All the girls look great so far too but the real challenge is with the upcoming event for the next update, that's when we'll know if we're going to end up with noodle hairs for the girls which I always find uncanny.

So now you've noticed that overall I've said mostly positive things but still have taken away a star from the rating. Again, I don't know what's stopping me from just giving this a 5 star and to be honest, if we could do half stars this would actually be a 3.5 stars but I want to be generous because I can't seem to pinpoint what my issue is. Maybe this is something I can revisit in future updates when it becomes clearer to me.

My message to Studio 68 Games: I like what I'm seeing so far and really, I feel bad for not being able to address what I wasn't agreeing with. To be honest, I wasn't sure how to rate this game because while I do understand that this is just the beginning and that some setting up needs to be done first before the plot can really take off, the game was looking like a regular nukige which on its own would be fine but then there's all this setup for a big plot reveal that's kind of causing a dissonance for me. (Maybe that's where I took a star off.) Finally, I do want to point out a bug in the Scenes gallery where Pool Party Deep Throat and Library Quicky aren't unlocked even when I've seen both of them.

Renders are pretty good, models are mostly great and mc isnt a complete coward. All positives.

The writing quality is good/non-engrish but the story itself is pretty meh - mainly because a different empty-headed girl throws themselves at MC every 2 mins without him making any effort which is boooooring, the girls dont think of themselves as anything more than a vagina (not uncommon in the genre i suppose)

Also worth noting is you seemingly are forced into MMF

V0.08

not a fan.

art is good enough. not great but appealing for the horny teen-a-thon it is.
couple of times the shock of colour is just that, a shock, but mostly the visuals are good enough. could have been better intimacy shots like in porn. a game obviously influenced by porn that has fly on the wall shots instead of POV? seems an odd choice.

writing/plot is run-of-the-mill horny teen bs but at least dialogue has a bit of thought to it. no wonder americans have a higher legal requirement for alcohol than brits if the dialogue is anything to go by. maturity will be late arriving here for sure.

the biggest issue, and also why i will not be returning due to this being a constant issue it seems, is the developer is about as good at coding as they are at writing adult dialogue. constant errors that permeate the feed from times before have not been fixed and i hit error after error after error and got jumped from texting with one girl to already on a date with another.

given the low amount of choices i had been offered up to this point, and still a long way from current content, this should not happen. i tried both compressed and regular versions.

not something i would recommend as hitting errors when running a kinetic sequence happens is not a good sign

I really like this game. OK, I've seen and played much better ones visually and there are certainly better ones in terms of the story, but overall it's a lot of fun and that's the main thing, so I'm looking forward to the next update.

This is a hard one to rate. As a AVN it's shit id only give it 2 stars. I say this is more of a porn AVN than AVN but it does balance the 2 out pretty well if you dont take the plot or character serious and just play for fun. Because of that it isnt a pure fuck fest but there is still alot of lewds. if you play this just for fun , and dont take it serious or anything / a guilty pleasure it becomes really enjoy and good Which is why im giving it 4 stars.

Most of the LI in this game are taken but their boyfriends want to share their girls. Hell one one of the guys talk about sharing his girl like it's something casual to talk about and not a big deal.

Some choices are not clear what they lead , haven't encountered many like this but there are some. here on 2 examples. Helping Penny leads to a forced lewd scene with someone else. Also depending on your choices with Aimee will determine where the MC gets to cum. On my main save I was only able to pick on her ass the other 2 were grayed out but on my manslut save I got the option to do all three options.

This game needs a bit of proofing when it comes to some of the choices. Every once in awhile a bit of dialogue will appear that never happened on my save but did on my other one.
There are some forced scenes, not alot.

overall good if you go in with the mindset of playing for fun and not to take anything serious. But if you need a compelling or a good story or just a story that makes sense id skip this one. Characters are alot of fun for what this game is however.

Like a lot of other reviewers have said I don't have a problem with swinging or sharing in games when its set up in a half way decent realistic setting. This is not that. This feels like it was wrote by somebody who imagines this is what college is like where everyone fucks everyone and not one person you meet is in any monogamous relationship and they all seem to exist in some nonsense land where no one gets jealous.
The first few episodes where actually not that bad and it had promise but I now fell like these where on purpose to get players in and then the game went full sharing, unavoidable sex scenes and just a really stupid plot and situations. The humor is infantile and child like at times. But what sucks the most is the mc. You have next to zero control over how the mc handles himself. Hess like a bumbling idiot most of the time and is incapable of saying no to some of the girls.... for plot reasons or some shit, im still not sure why those scenes are forced to be honest, prolly because if you played with full choice you would end up with no scenes because there isn't a single li in the game that a regular player would be interested in.
The game is just a mess at the moment and nothing really ties into anything and things just happen for reasons and the story trundles on. I really couldn't recommend playing this in its current state.

In a lot of ways, I actually agree with a lot of what the review right below me stated. I have been that reviewer before and understand where they are coming from. Fortunately, everyone is different and everyone enjoys different things. Personally, I like fart jokes and you can never have too many and if my potential LI doesn't like fart jokes, then they can move right along.

Regardless, there are a lot of challenges with this one. The forced interactions are something that always bother me. I hate where you can chose some things but not others. If the dev just wants to tell a story then tell a story and stop giving the player/reader the illusion of choice.

The other problem is the MC and his magic cock. While I like when the dev acknowledges the female's orgasms, the truth is some women can cum multiple times and some do not. This MC makes all the women come multiple times. It just gets a bit much. He basically pounds them in one position, makes them cum 3 or 4 times and then it's over. The erotic writing is pretty good, but there needs to be some variety.

The other problem is it is obvious the dev is a bit older and is trying to write college age kids. You can always tell an older dev by all the references to the 80s and 90s and trying to make it a "cool" aspect of the MC.. Hell, even the end of the version uses the fonts from Back to the Future. Pro Tip... kids today could care less when it comes to pop-culture.

Despite all of that, I still found myself enjoying my time playing it. It's probably because it hits a number of my kinks and I actually enjoyed a lot of the humor. Not all of it, but there was some good things in there. Frankly, the crop dusting was brilliant. A group of full of themselves women enter the elevator only to find out they are trapped in the mephitic cloud hanging in the elevator.

Regardless, it will not be for everyone and it does have flashes of another fetish game, but download it and try it out for yourself. It's worth a few minutes to try it.
