Since I love What's Mine is Yours I had to check out this VN with its similar premise. I definitely enjoyed it, though I'd classify it as rather tame. Of the three routes the third is the kinkiest, but has the tamest ending. And the sadist and masochist don't really live up to my expectations on the other routes.
Still, I definitely recommend it, I think rare premises are always exciting.

Oh, I run into it yet again.
Does someone knows VNs like this? I know some, but maybe I missed one.

Y'know, I wanted to like this thing. Based on the description, it looked like it'd be a Netorase VN with the guy being the one being shared, rather than the usual... and it IS that to extent... except it doesn't play the theme very much. It's like the writer didn't want to properly commit to the theme somehow, and ended up wanting to transition into a fairly generic harem thing partway through... but they don't quite commit to THAT either, leaving it somewhat unsatisfying for someone like me.
To an extent, for me, I suppose part of the problem are the characters. The MC and the GF are supposed to have been in a relationship for 3 years at the start of the story... but they don't ACT like it. They behave more like a couple that just had sex 2 days ago rather than a pair that have supposedly known each other for a long time and been sexually active for an extended period of time. It's not just in how they act with each other during sex... bland sex-lives for an extended period of time are not an impossibility or even uncommon, but rather in how ridiculously shy they are around each other, and around the fact that even perfectly mundane things don't seem to have happened naturally, like the fact that the MC apparently didn't experience much of Shiori's cooking or had her cook for him often.
There's a bit in the Misa route where they cook together and he's all surprised about how well she peels vegetables... and it just seemed so weird. Are you seriously expecting me to believe that this was the first time this could have happened when they've been together for 3 years, and at least one of those while they're college and living in their own apartments? Really?
Basically, the two SAY they're a couple and the MC keeps spouting off he loves her and yada yada, but the VN thoroughly fails at showing us that they're a couple if favor of showing how much of a moeblob the Shiori is.
In any case, I was only able to read Misa's route to the end... as much as you can call it a "route"... it doesn't even have a real ending tbh and it chickens out at really showing her feelings and motivations in the whole arrangement. It has some moments near the end where it looks like Misa might be trying to either steal MC from Shiori or try to establish herself as a more permanent part of the relationship with the both of them together, but the story again doesn't commit to anything and leaves things ambiguous in terms of how things might develop aside from her mentioning that she's starting to get addicted to sex with the MC, or perhaps the situation with the two of them in general... again, ambiguous. Super annoying...
After that, I kind of got bored and just used the good ol' CTRL key to unlock everything else.
At the end of the day, this story feels more like it was designed to be an easy excuse for a guy to self insert in a situation where he can have sex with a bunch of girls, rather than actually focusing on the netorase or cuckolding aspect or whatever. It doesn't really differ much from a more typical harem game aside from the fact that the main push for the harem comes from the GF rather than the MC.

It's a long shot since this thread is dead, but does anybody have a full save or even random save files at various points throughout the game? I'm having a crash issue at the first bedroom scene with Yurika invited but I really want to continue the story.
My crash issue is probably unsolvable (running these games on crossover mac is bound to cause problems), but I was hoping to maybe leapfrog the issue or at least view the gallery.

I don't have any save files but the funny thing about your post is that it made me remember how this game was also kinda broken as fuck even on Windows back when I played it, I shit you not it crashed randomly for me as well. Not familiar with Crossover but a quick google search tells me it's shit for any form of gaming, you might want to try with Wine although I have no idea how it performs on Mac. Or just look at the CG gallery on one of the usual sites.
That's funny. At least I can find some solidarity in knowing that the game caused problems for other people too. Crossover definitely has its issues, but it performs better than Whisky does for VNs and RPGM and doesn't require me to keep the heavy Windows OS on my laptop with limited storage like Wine does.
Totally forgot about getting the gallery online, thanks! It isn't the same without context and voice acting; the dialogue is most of the fun. But it'll have to be good enough. Cheers.
