Others - Naughty Time Rendering: Bittersweet Summer Saga [v1.4.04Public] [SLGallery]

To be fair, the game isn’t truly a 1/5 - it has potential - but I’m giving it that score because the current praise it’s receiving is far too generous for what it actually offers.

There’s a clear oversaturation in the genre with poorly executed NTR games that lack any meaningful corruption buildup or solid character development. Because of that, even weak entries tend to be well-received if they simply touch the fetish - which, unfortunately, lowers the bar significantly.

Let’s talk about the engine: yes, the dev may be working with a limited budget, but that’s not a strong excuse when there are plenty of free, robust engines out there. Even something like RPG Maker, unironically, would deliver better performance, cleaner UI, less jank, and more creative freedom. The current engine choice seriously holds the game back.

The worst offender is the resolution. The game runs in 640x480, and when fullscreened on PC, everything gets stretched to hell. It ends up looking and playing terribly. Combat feels completely tacked on and pointless - there’s no real engagement or depth to it.

On the positive side, I genuinely like the premise of the story. There’s clear potential in the concept. The hand-drawn art is also a nice touch, and I appreciate the effort that went into it. With the right engine and a complete overhaul of the game’s structure, this could evolve into something really worthwhile.

As it stands, my honest rating would be a 2/5 - but I’m leaving a 1/5 to offset the inflated ratings and hopefully push the dev to take a serious look at the foundation of the game.

People are being too generous in these reviews, because this engine is a pure nightmare. Although the art is okay. I don't really see the problem with switching to another engine. When the engine problem is fixed (which I don't think will ever happen), the game might be worth a try.

I enjoyed it a lot more than i expected.
Plot is alright, characters are nice, not obnoxious or just cardboard cutouts like most NTR games have. The art is simple but i like it. For a pretty short game the amount of scenes is good(even in free version, exclusive ones are probably the best tho). Staff i liked the least was the engine and not being sure whether the scene is premium or i'm just doing something wrong.
I think the game would be a lot better with just a few vanilla Nestor scenes. It just feels better when the protagonist isn't a 100% cuck. Also I like when FMC gets sluttier and engages in sexual acts with random people out of her own volition and isn't just a puppet.

The Game is quite short. It's better than RPGM games as you don't walk as much. Though mechanically not much different.
I like that it is short and so multiple routes don't feel like a shore. Combat though seems needless, maybe something more enganging would be better. I like the Art and the story is solid.
The riddles are confusing sometimes and public vs payed version made this worse. Though in the public discord are plenty hints.
It would get 5 stars for the public version, if it's clear that you are stuck, because it would be a paid scene.

Its a fun game. NTR focused if you couldn't tell from the initials lol.

The engine is pretty confusing, even when you get the hang of it it's still kind of clumsy. But it gets the job done, and overall nice game!

I love the game and its content, the free version offer quite a bit of adventure already and the paid version basically offer bonus content.
I removed a star because the game can be quite confusing for which content can't be accessed in the free version (the blue flora level for example) and the interface while original can sometime be hard to manage.
The art is both nice and distinctive. While I know that it was already hard for the dev to get more detailled scenes for the lewd events, they are themselves already satisfying.
The characters are original in design and the trope is far better devlop than a usual rape or blackmail ntr. The characters feels alive in writing and there is a nice fantasy setting too.
The game can be a tad grindy for scenes or hard to manage for kouta in a pure run tho but that's far from new when it comes to RPGM games.
Good luck for chapter 4 dev
