VN - Ren'Py - My FemBoyFriend Phone [Ch.7.142.89] [RoboPenguinGames]

TLDR;
Don't come in thinking it's a sweet and devoted story. It gets quite uncomfortable. If you embrace another aspect I imagine it would be fine; ntr, cucked, that ain't for me but maybe for you.

Haven't played Chapter 8 yet, but finished a route into Chapter 7. I'm not sure what the other routes are like, but I ended up with what I assume is like a love route. And OH BOY does the narrative feel good, bad, and so much more in between.

It's a multiple choice visual novel, so the game aspect is just choosing routes. Therefor it's just reading and picking choices, at the start they feel important and then lesson as things go along. But, the biggest problem is mentioned by another review. The characters feel quite odd at times, like how the player reacts to the coworker. But I can see what it's going for.

The thing I hated in this game, was around the midpoint with the secretive photoshoots and uploading and deleting messages. Too real in actions, ended up feeling quite stressed. But, the calm after the storm I genuinely felt weight lift off my chest. Don't know what it would be like going in to just not care, or wanting to cuck/get cucked. That isn't for me, and playing for the love made me almost close the game multiple times during that middle bit. But, I liked it enough I guess. Perhaps would be a good ending in chapter 8. Would never play through the game again though.

This text-based phone game is honestly a mess. The main character, David, is just unbearable. He’s whiny, dramatic, and no matter what choices you make, he still ends up doing the dumbest stuff. You’d expect a choice-based game to give you at least some control, but it doesn’t feel that way. Most of the time, you’re just watching David spiral while your input barely matters.


His boyfriend, Alex, is somehow worse. He’s constantly clueless, saying the most ridiculous things at the worst possible times. One second he’s being weirdly supportive, the next he’s starting pointless drama. Their relationship is supposed to feel emotional or real, but it just comes off as awkward and forced.


Then there’s David’s sister, who is just plain creepy. She spends most of the game spying on her adult brother like it’s totally normal. The game tries to frame it like she’s concerned or trying to help, but it just feels invasive and strange. Her entire character seems to exist just to stir up more drama.


None of the characters are likable. The dialogue feels flat, the emotional scenes miss the mark, and your choices rarely seem to matter. You might pick something totally reasonable, but the game still pushes things in the same chaotic direction.


To top it off, the art is clearly AI-generated. The character images feel cold and off, like they were made in a rush with no real style or consistency. It’s hard to feel connected to anything when even the visuals feel so empty.


Overall, the game is frustrating, shallow, and honestly kind of boring. If you’re looking for a good choice based story with actual depth and characters you can care about, this isn’t it. Lots of railroading too.

If you want to fix this game, fix the story, art, and characters.

Not that much happening in the story so far, mostly just setup and its the same kind of story you expect from NTR phone games. The writing is pretty good and people act and behave as people and its nice that its not just diving straight into NTR and slutting, but takes it time to setup the characters. The downside of that is ofc that not a whole happens in terms of sex yet.

A few bugs where I think the text that your character is supposed to say comes on the person they are talking to side of the "phone" so it sorta seems the person is talking to themselves, no big deal, and the AI art is good if you dont mind it being AI. Love the design of Alex and the art is fairly consistent between images too
