RPGM - My College Memories [v0.27] [OrphanStudio]

Introduction
this game is a NTR corruption carnival/scene-collector sandbox RPG, don't play it if you dont like the genre. this game has a lot of positives but some flat glaring negatives that push it down to 3.5/5 for me, so rounded up to a 4/5

Game Description
you play as a dude who i forgot the name of who is studying abroad. he's in one of those situations where a family is allowing him to live in their household while he does his studies. the family has a cheating/lustful mother named Rin, a perverted daughter named Eris and a father who is always out on business trips (and there's also this guy called Kenta who is living with them/you? not sure what his affiliation is). then another foreign student turns up named Rei and she is a childhood friend of yours but you don't realise it yet (you realise it until later). with all the aforementioned women i just mentioned, plus a whole catalogue of other women in the game world, you live out your study life with them and get romanced then (most likely) NTR'd

Things I Liked:
- amount of NTRable/romanceable female characters. there's really quite a lot.. i dont do it justice when i say there's a catalogue of them there's more like an entire buffet of them. none of them reuse art and they're all different. you have the 3 women i mentioned in the game description, then there's 2 gigasluts in your school named Melody and Ophelia, as well as a girl who has a crush on you named Alice, a gym nut girl named Anna, followed by several female teachers as well as miscellaneous ones like Diana and Emily (miscellaneous as in unrelated to your schooling). Eva and Lily too but they're just prostitutes. also, there's nearly the same amount of male antagonists that can steal them from you, and they're all unique just like the wide range of female characters (Kenta - fat/greasy nerd, Vick - pseudo playboy, Ito - P.E. teacher, Hinata - school principal, ??? (no better name for him ) - black guy who has crime affiliation and is a clubber)
- events/happenings in the game world. i like the concept of choosing to do a certain something (or not choosing to do a certain something) and then that impacting your relationship with a particular girl, specifically in this NTR corruption genre. taking P.E. class as an example, there's a lot of choices to make and how that will impact taking P.E. class. if you choose not to improve your energy you fail the energy check and cant partake in P.E. class. once you have enough energy, if you choose to partner with Rei or Anna, then the possible partner you didn't pick gets NTR'd by your teacher. but if you choose to increase love with Anna then Anna stands up to Ito, and then if you follow this route long enough, you can choose to see how Anna or Rei get NTR'd or look at Ito's computer. stuff like this is really common and its pretty cool
- game world. it's pretty big and interesting. i honestly thought a lot of the game world was creatively designed. never really seen so many NPCs wandering about or making massive lineups and the attention to detail is clever. for example with Lily, all the developer had to do was put her outside the apartment building and then you hook up with her. but instead they made an apartment complex built into the game world and a room just for your interaction with her
- porn scenes. its a first for me because ive never been hugely into these goofy 3D model scenes, i moreso appreciate 2D animated/illustrated scenes with some kind of artstyle. however i actually did like them despite my preference, i found them to be hot and fappable but they can appear short so don't rely on the dialogue just hide the textbox and look at the scene to enjoy it
- hints. the game tells you how to progress your love with a girl and how to progress a girl's love with another guy (NTR). i think this is deserves praise because a lot of bad games have you running around in the game world looking for shit that doesn't exist or isnt in the right spot. this game has you covered for that
- good execution of the NTR/corruption genre. you can tell the developer knows how to execute the genre just with the writing alone. the pacing is slowly progressed and most of the NTR is logical as opposed to stupid
- no lame RPGM combat. yay

Things I Disliked:
- gameplay loop. the absolute worst part of this game is the gameplay loop. because of the way its designed you're going to be playing this game way fucking longer than you should be, i know i did. it takes FOREVER to finish a route with just ONE of the girls. the reason for this is because you only really make progress on a week to week basis, and for 95% of the girls you can only progress their love and corruption for other guys by 1 each week. the max for both of these fields is 9, so 9 in game weeks until you finish a route. further, the way you actually progress is repetitive AF. often times you just do the same event over and over again on a week to week basis till number go up. and if you make a mistake or do something by accident and don't properly progress it, you need to wait another in game week before you get to that window again. it annoyed me a lot and i think to any normal person it will annoy them too. though getting to what i thought was the end of a route felt really satisfying for this reason
- reading the walkthrough is mandatory. despite it being slightly dated, its a must. that schedule near the bottom of the walkthrough was almost the only reason i was able to progress at all. because alot of opportunities and even scenes can be missed without it. the walkthrough also does a better job at explaining the stats than the game ever did. you might invest in the wrong stats and completely fuck up your progress and you didnt realise it until its too late (if you didn't read the walkthrough). i think this is bad, the game shouldn't need one to be enjoyable or playable
- immersion breaks/weird stuff. the game does stupid things sometimes and a lot of them are avoidable or easily fixed if the developer just decided to do a certain thing differently. i'll give an example: when Rin is in the shower if you don't have her love high enough she will reject your advances. but at some point she embraces you if you got high enough love since she's lonely and lustful. once you do that, Kenta will then seduce Rin in place of you. this will lower her love for you and then you will eventually get back to the point where she rejects you. that would be fine if the reason you got rejected was because she's with Kenta now. instead, the reason you get rejected is nothing more than you not having high enough love. that breaks the immersion of getting NTR'd since the game doesn't acknowledge Kenta's role in this, he's just absent from the equation. another example is literally nothing happens to your relationship with Rei when other dudes get in her pants. her mannerisms towards you don't change and nothing feels different. there's more examples like this and it just doesn't make sense
- no story and no minigames. whatever story there is it was either too bad for me to notice or just not there in the first place. and the review 2 down from mine says there's a minigame for being a bartender but i never tried being a bartender and he also said that minigame was terrible sooo yeah
- paywalled scenes. a very small portion of scenes are paywalled behind the patreon subscribers version of this game. i didnt know that and only finding out about this during my playthrough was annoying
- a bit buggy. rarely sometimes fast travel fucks up, like it wont work or just needs to be cancelled to work or something. rarely some scene can softlock your game, it happened to me with Emily NTR when she was serving the black guy. and i dont even know if this is a bug or not but every time your character says hes gonna take a photo (like with Hinata and Ophelia, or with Kenta and Eva, or any other situation) and you click your phone gallery expecting to see those pictures, nothing happens. there's more bugs, and they make the quality of the game go down

Conclusion
honestly this game has such good potential and alot going for it but those negatives i outlined really stood out to me. i still think it's good hence the 3.5 -> rounded to 4 star rating. i just want a better gameplay loop, less reliance on a walkthrough, more story/minigames, less immersion breaks and bug fixes

I usually don't rate many games but this one definitely peaked my interest. I'm not a fan of ntr in the slightest (I know this game is way more ntr focused) but I got a little curious since there are love routes for some girls

Overall I do enjoy the game. I think the devolper has a pretty interesting concept. Especially since it's sort of like a fight against ntr or let it happen (some are completely unavoidable but others are avoidable)

Like I said I'm not a fan of ntr so of course this game isn't fully for me but I do like the love route aspects of some of the girls. The only reason for the 3 stars is that currently the game still feels like a weird imbalance where there's not a lot of content for one route but a lot for the other. There's also multiple girls in the game who don't even have any scenes really. I also don't like the corrupt aspect when a lot of the girls already have a corrupt mindset from the start (nearly every girl already freely has sex) so it just seems a little weird to have to build up corruption to for girls like this. It really only works for the girls like rei

Overall I'd love to see what the game looks like in 5 or so months from now. Already know it'd never happen but I'd also like if there was a more love focus version than ntr at some point near the end of development

Most games know what they are. This one is an exception.

I don't know if it's because the author is trying to make a game with 100+ hours of play time or because he just doesn't understand what he's doing, but he managed to create a fucking black hole. And if you let him, this hole will eat up all your time. What do you need to play this? A LOT of time. Everything is stretched out as much as possible. The worst game development techniques are used. Examples? They are literally everywhere here. The plot is stretched out because you need to wait for specific events to progress. The maps are stretched out because they are huge and numerous (while NOTHING happens on them). The locations are stretched out because of terrible game design (yes, I'm the guy in the aisle of the store standing in the evenings on the way to the cashier, you and people like you!) and a bunch of obstacles that literally try to make you spend at least five more seconds of extra time. Mini-games (well... there is only one mini-game (from what I found, because my patience is not unlimited) and it is a bartender) are simply stretched out, they put you there for a minute and tell you to just stand there and do nothing, from time to time clicking on the desired drink (and the reward for the toy is also garbage, to be honest - they give you 200 bucks instead of 100 that you would get at work, which can be completed in two clicks).

Speaking about models and scenes - well, the models look funny. If it weren't for them, I probably wouldn't have paid attention to the game. The interesting fact is that they only look cool in the screenshots for the game. In the game itself, they look extremely uninteresting and not juicy. The game is full of scenes where they show you "juice boobs", "a piece of head" or use terrible angles in which you can't even see a woman's body. I think that someone might like this, but I found it disgusting.

Another stone in the garden of this work is the fact that the author is a fan of intrusive advertising. It was as if it began with a manual from Todd Howard sounding like "If you constantly offer them to buy Skyrim - they will definitely buy it!" Here is the same thing. You are constantly shoved in the face of the offer to watch "not this crap, but real scenes for real people - patron scenes that will give you real pleasure, and not this nonsense that you are watching." I do not know how much the game is transformed if you pay money - I have not tried, but what was in the free version is not very pleasing.

The only thing for which I put a star is the author's efforts. I do not know whether he needs money to treat hemorrhoids or he just wants to entertain himself a little by creating games, but since he did not quit his job, then he is a great guy. And yes - all the bile of my opinion is inspired by the terrible waste of time that I felt after playing it, but looking at the positive reviews I think that someone liked it, so... well done? Probably. As we know, you can't please everyone and today I am apparently - everyone.

Game is interesting but not only its a RPG game (one of the "slowest" engines for games), theres also certain day and time specific events, you also need to progress some other characters plot to progress specific ones, so it ends up being one of those gotta do everything to see some specific content games, its probably gonna get worse too as the game gets more content. You can unlock scenes and see them all, but if you like preg you wont be seeing its mechanics unless you play it. Some scenes can only be seen fully with patreon too.

I don't feel its too grindy (even more because its easy to cheat stats) but you're gonna probably need to set a few hours aside to be playing this one.

I like this game, it needs some QoL improvements and a better UX for viewing the girls quests, but the NTR aspect of the game and dialog coincide with what i expected from this, also i feel like the way we navigate the maps is a bit too much and could be simplified or made so it shows when theres something happening on a map before we go there.
The way the developer uses the girls is well done and the scenes are decent, its a simple parody game but a good one. The way the stats affect which outcomes you get was a nice touch too, keep it up!

First of all, the game is not perfect but pretty good for people who like this kind of content. The developer constantly updates the game, which is perfect. And what's more, it gets far better with each update.

I like models and animations. Theres tons of girl for nothing. Sex scenes is good but lines is sucks, actualy what lines? Two lines in the sex scenes and scenes are over in a second. You can not fab that shit.

Everyone is extremly corrupted and you try to rise their corruption. Why? Shes a schoolgirl, striper and whore and you have to corrup her!! Realy?? Game has no logic. Lines are bad, story is bad, scenes are bad, no imagination ext...

Beautiful girls(big tits and dark areolas my favorite), good animation thats all. So many places and so many girls combination isnt good.
You will lost and search everywhere its exhausting.

And the bigest issue is paywall. Theres two animations and two lines in sex scenes and one of them behind the paywall. Its up to you, play or leave it.

The scenes are extremely short, longer scenes end in a paywall which I wouldn't mind if everything wasn't 5 to 20 lines tops. It's Koikatsu so animations and models are fine, but do yourself a favor and go to the attic where the recolletion room is. There are a lot of "scenes" or rather animations.

How is this highly reviewed? The majority of the scenes are voyeur and are over in a second. There are many characters with little to no scenes, with little meaning or impact that are bare bones shallow, I'm talking 10 scenes, no pen shallow with just five second HJ or BJs. The controls and story feel terrible, I've quit this game several times because of how boring it is to play and how bland it looks with its terrible sex scenes. Do not waste your time.

A huge world with beautiful scenery full of NOTHING, nothing to do but wander around looking for something that isn't there. Prepare for frustration

Hundreds of characters, dozens in each map, none of them talk to you (let's be fair, 99% of them don't talk to you).

Convoluted stats system that you don't know where or how to train, the phone that is supposed to be a guide deceives you, you want to increase agility? go to the park on the weekend there is a weird guy there who trains you says the phone, it was a lie I had to search the forum where dozens of people ask the same question, by the way the guy is in the park only on Friday morning of February 30 when it rains... You want to train strength? go to the gym... where is the gym???? I've gone through the huge map at different times and I can't find it!!! you want to train luck? well.... good luck!

You want to make money? get ready to suffer epilepsy in the strip club, flashes of red, yellow and screaming pink while you have to be attentive to the screen to do the minigame (by the way the minigame is decent if not for the killer flashes).

The controls are horrible! you want to remap them by pressing F1 like in the other RPGM games? what a shame, you can't.

There are a couple of other things that are mediocre that I would normally point out in reviews, but the bad points are so horrendous that the mediocre ones don't matter.

I like the tags and the characters, to be honest i have a high expect for this but, lot of bug like stucking line, black screen, quiting after 4 hours of playing, the teleport gate is placing random asf, the hint is sometime not clear enough make me confused without watch walkthrough on site , just making a guide note or some icon above the main girl, that help the player find those girl easier when a event happen or when have some
interact with the story. Some of the sex scene are kinda lag and it could be better if you make a proper gallery.


And, please remove the sound of car horn on the Downtown, please, that's an unnecessary sound, and make the map so anoying

Anyway thank for making this pj, hope you get better in the future.

It's 2024, why do these type of games still exist? The way that this game is design is so bad, like holy, do you want us to play the game or not? Why tf is the map big asf but so empty and useless? Why did we have to sit through a 3min scene of colors switching back and forth giving us cancer? Stop trying to be complicated, just give us a simple game.

sexy characters and extreme good scences. highly recommended. the story is also good. the gameplay have a lot of stats which give gameplay some grind. there is guide and multiple timeline of character which is interesting.

You are required to use a guide, this takes away most of the fun you will have with this visual novel.

The menu navigation is very tedious because buttons like x to exit frequently do not work.

The story is is a complete meme. The only fun part is the porn, but that takes grinding and reading the guide.

Very promising for a first release game..
story wise it's quite okay
but for the gameplay (especially the early version) it's really bad.
thankfully the dev is really active and taking many advices from the community to make it better.

can't say i found many hidden netorare game like this.. one of the good ones really.
and also netorare is avoidable if that's not ur cup of tea..

Very solid basis and content available for an early stage game. Dev is also active and responds to questions, as well as releasing bugfixes. Only advice is use the timesheet/guide if you get stuck, as the in game phone has a tip page on each girl for romance & NTR respectively.

Content wise, very promising on the NTR side, as mystery NTR is rare in the overall NTR genre

I enjoyed playing this game. The art is amazing and i love the concept of ntr changing multiple women and having to track them to see what they are up to. Enjoyed seeing variations to scenes and figuring out how to unlock said scene. Looking forward to many updates in the future.

Rei is so good but some of H event are still confuse and doesn't have an previous event such as Kenta&Emily. Moreover, I really want something like memories room or event re-play that could be fantastic. If it possible please ad name sign of important location for example Train Station, East Downtown, and other else.

v0.121

I dropped soon into realising the bottleneck the mechanics. on this ugly engine, present

Mechanics
not mouse friendly - trying to enter rooms you need to click the exact hit box to enter
key controls are annoying, mainly; phone uses arrow keys to navigate
tutorial is just lines of text which is quite boring to read through

Gameplay
map is a maze and there's no joy traversing your typical RPGM map
i suspect it's grindy due to the map navigation and fulfilling quests that have your run up and down

Other
English is bad
Koikatsu parody models without any noticeable mods or shaders


Not worth the time, I can find similar sex themes on more fluid games.
