VN - Ren'Py - My Dress Up NTR: Unseen Desire [v0.7 P1] [CuckyBoy]

The writing in this game is just painfully generic and lazy.
It relies on the same tired tropes we've seen a thousand times before, like the "hidden bimbo" or the pathetic boyfriend getting steamrolled by an alpha.
There is absolutely no attempt to do anything original or creative with the story.
The conflict is completely forced, relying on dumb misunderstandings that could be solved with a single conversation.
Instead of actual character development, everyone just jumps straight into bed for revenge sex because the plot demands it.
It’s frustrating to see an indie creator with total freedom choose to churn out such a cookie-cutter experience.
The pacing is way off too; everything happens instantly with zero buildup or logical progression.
Characters go from meeting someone to getting intimate in the blink of an eye, which ruins any sense of corruption or seduction.
Technically, it’s a mess as well, with volume sliders that don't work and sound issues plaguing the scenes.
The male character models look terrible, like low-poly blocks compared to the more detailed females.
And honestly, the lack of content is glaring; you can breeze through everything in a couple of hours and still feel unsatisfied.
It’s just another average, forgettable title in a sea of clones that refuses to try anything new.

Very poor writing, poor continuity in the routes and nonsensical dialogs. The only thing going for it are the visuals of Marin together with the UB's.

The dev doesn't even bother to explain why the NTR even explains in the first place. How did she get coerced into it? How did she go from 0 experience, to getting licked in the shower with a person she met only twice.

This game with a proper writer/plot would be an easy 8/10 NTR game, but sadly it's a 3/10 for me and the 3 is mostly because of the Marin.

The story are pretty good
I dont have any problem with the 3d models
The render dont give me any problem so that is very good
Cant wait 4 new updates
I feel like the story lends itself well to the stereotypes the characters are designed for.
Because, no matter who it hurts, Marin, if she were real, would be one of those who gave her half a course, and I'm not talking about "favors."
Good luck to the developer.
I'll support her in any way I can.

To be fair, this was a REALLY disappointing update. The lack of content is obvious, but my issue runs deeper.
Is it REALLY so hard to try something better? I'm just sick of it. EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE, uses the same tired ideas over and over again. Why experiment and try something new when you can play it safe and take the easy path?
We get the "Hidden Bimbo" trope. The "Big Cock Alpha against the shy, pathetic boyfriend" dynamic. The lazy, nonsensical conflict: "Oh no, a photo of him with someone! OF COURSE THAT MEANS HE BETRAYED ME! Now I must have revenge sex!" The concept of two people actually talking seems to be forgotten. Just fuck. Seriously.
I understand how stupid this sounds, lamenting the lack of originality in an indie hentai game. I know it's a niche genre. But the truth is, before this game and after it, there will be dozens and hundreds of other games that repeat these same tropes without ever trying to subvert them or try something new.
I've been playing hentai games for longer than some of their players have been alive. I'm used to ignoring repetitive tropes. But again and again, this exact scenario repeats itself.
You are the creator. The author. In front of you lies a literally boundless world of opportunities to bring your fantasies to life. You are a person without pressure from "BIG GUYS," free to do whatever you want. And yet, you still choose to create the same thing.
You COULD AT LEAST TRY to innovate or play with these tropes. But instead, you choose to blindly follow them. You aren't special; you're just one of many.
I'll continue to observe this title, but my hope for it has died.
Average. because this is exactly who you are and what you are. Not good, not bad... just one of many

Review of 0.5

-Awful visuals, all characters do not resemble their anime counterpart, maybe Marin does slightly
-terrible writing, generic ntr story
-no sex scene with Marin in version 0.5 only ntr bj and ntr hj
-barely any content in 0.5 can be completed in 2 hours
-routes are generic, maybe the routes will be more fleshed out in future updates, ntr can be avoided for Marin but you miss out on so many h-scenes, hopefully future updates can resolve this by adding non-ntr scenes with Gojo

Review based on v0.5 P2.

PROS:
- Good renders/models for the females characters.
- The premise for the story is pretty good.

CONS:
- The pacing of the story feels rushed for a "Corruption" genre game. Everything happens too fast. Girls get instantly groped/drugged/blackmailed in the first minutes they appear in the story, and the sex scenes already begin very intense. I believe even someone that doesn't like "slow-burn" would agree that a game of this genre needs a bit more "build-up" for the characters.
- Lots of technicals issues with the sound. The volume slider doesn't work for a lot of scenes. This is very annoying!
- Even if you considered the male characters are supposed to look ugly on purpose, their models are a bit too rustic. To the point they have a "low-polygon" look, compared to the female characters.

I'll give the game another try after a few more development, and then update my review... But my overall score for the current game state is 5/10.

I saw this game in its earlier release but didn't try it. Browsing the ntr tag for another round, I saw that this game is highly rated so I decided to give it a try.

I really enjoy it. The models look really good, and the premise is excellent for a ntr story. I also like the stats of Marin, the one at the top right where you can see how corrupted she has become. This reminds me of those japanese ntr rpgm games.

I will be pledging to the dev right after this review. This game has so much potential and I recommend all ntr enjoyers to give it a try!

[v0.5]
I've been following the news from afar but I finally took the time to try out the game and what a wonderful surprise.

the plus :
- models : Whether it's heroines (especially sailors) or future fuckers, the models are pretty well done, especially with design choices that are quite distinctive for guys.
- scenes : Even if, at this stage, not much has happened yet, we still have a pretty varied choice of set-ups, positions and protagonists.
- Marin's reactions : on this, not everyone will agree, but it's a change from having a protagonist who's very attracted to sex right from the start. We don't have the cliché of the girl who's too prudish. Right now, whether you choose a more vanilla path or not, Marin is clearly in the mood.
- Kenji's character: Unlike certain other girlfriend-stealers, he's not a passive strategist. He sets up his pawns little by little, which makes the choices quite fun, since we're ultimately choosing the protagonist's level of naivete. In addition, he's established right from the start as a good shot, which reinforces the threat to the couple.

the minuses :
- Shortcomings: There are some scenes missing that are a bit secondary but that explain certain points in the story (they may come later, I hope). I'm thinking typically of the principal's rapid assumption of office: all we know is that he took the job in less than a day, but how? ( then, I'm one of those people who likes to have the whole lore).
- a bit short: But that's 0.5 at the moment. I'll wait a while to see how it evolves.

In conclusion, it's very promising. I hope that future patches will continue to be of the highest quality. Good luck to the dev.

The ever changing sound volume is horrendous.
Super quiet one second and suddenly the volume blasts yours ears off.
It also doesn't help that the girl moans are sometimes under music volume, sometimes voice

Also every dude besides gojo is an super ugly bastard.

The models looks really good and I like to see all of those characters fall into NTR and depravity. I hope the Dev will keep it at a more slow burn, because corruption is an art that needs to be done slowly.

I started playing the game on v0.3. Its not much content, but if the updates are in short intervals than its definitely ok. (Better than waiting 3-6 months for a big update)

I also love how the teacher and Marins mom are already on the path of corruption. Looks great!

Great start. The animations are awesome, and the cocept is classic, not particularly original maybe, but works like a charm. The story works. I really really like the renders. It's good. Real good. New concealed breath? We'll see. Keep going mate, this is going to be good

[v0.4 part 1] Game has a lot of promise, solid enough story, good CGs, animations, and fun choices, what it does lack right now is length, the game is over relatively quickly, so I would recommend waiting for more updates.

Before I begin, I will say that I am heavily biased towards enjoying this as both a Marin and NTR enjoyer. So my enjoyment is already more likely.

Writing and Story

With that out of the way, I think this game is okay. The writing isn't great, but it's readable and fine. It's an H game, so temper your expectations.

Animations and Visuals
The animations are OK. Not the best I’ve seen, not the worst, and at least it’s there.

The character models are what you’d expect from a game using these models. Many are premade, most of them look pretty bad or average, but Marin looks GREAT. That’s all that really matters when it comes down to it.

Sound Design
The sound design is pretty average, but at least it’s there. There are some noises during scenes, some music, it’s what you’d expect. Nothing remarkable but it’s there.

Side Stories and Immersion
I don’t care for this game’s little side stories it’s got going on very much. Some of them, like with Asuna and Sakura, even break my immersion and pull me out of the My Dress-Up Darling world. Not a big fan when devs just throw random anime characters into games. The way the main storyline progresses is... fine. I think a cosplay fan or something would have made for a better character to initiate the NTR. But the transfer student who is manipulative and uses photography as a pretext to get in with Marin works just as well. The main part and storyline of this game, while not the best I’ve seen, is good. I enjoy it.

Final Thoughts
I love these types of games. NTR Online by Fujino is my favorite game. If you enjoy games like this that feature anime characters who make sense for an NTR plotline, you will likely enjoy this. I am always happy to see games like this come out. The dev also fairly successfully taps into the existing characters’ personalities and story narratives, which is crucial. I really hate when you see these games but characters don’t act like themselves at all, and none of the existing narratives or hardly any are there. If you’re going to do that just create your own original story. If you’re going to use a character like Marin, take the amazing advantage you’re given and use the existing characters and story to enhance your game.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
Overall, this has NTR, Marin from My Dress-Up Darling (who is fantastic for an NTR game), and it’s executed fine. Enough to give this a 4/5 and hope the dev continues with their work and will improve with time. I am highly biased towards these kinds of games, they’re my favorite. If you’re like me, you will enjoy this.

It is a promising game. The design of attracting characters and this kind of payment to them is interesting.
The future towards which the story goes seems attractive and interesting. Looking forward to seeing the hottest scenes in the future.
I really like the corruption of the female character to be discussed in detail and to see her corruption slowly.
And finally, thank you for making this interesting game.

good start, I was intrigued, I expect a lot from the game, I hope its development does not take too long.
I think there is a lack of more games of this style with ugly bastards taking the "heroines" of vanilla animes

Game in current state is too short. There's like two half scenes, but they're so lacking in backstory, I wouldn't consider them NTR.

I was expecting this game to lay down a lot of the groundwork for how MC will be cucked, but it seems that the developer expects player to watch the anime before playing this game and relying on that material instead. Which is fine, but a missed opportunity to make the story more cucky.
