Others - NetoPhone Stories [v0.8.0] [KTRGames]

Four hundred million texts with almost nothing to it and then a pic or a quick short video. Four hundred million more terrible lines of dialogue then another pic. Fairly vanilla for a naughty game too - no ability to speed up the incoming texts. Its... annoying.

Maybe it's just this version of the game, but it seems to be only one story, male mc only, and no ntr in it.

I'd compliment the art style, which is nice, but I refuse to give points for AI art. I understand using it as a necessity, but I would treat it as a text-only game for the purpose of reviews, neither rewarding or punishing the use of AI art (unless that art is especially bad, which it's not in this case).

Likewise I'd compliment the game's construction for being free of major bugs and a smooth experience, but literally the only option I have when starting the game is a contact with one girl who the MC almost immediately gives up on sex with and begs to screw other guys (NTS-adjacent or "Swinging" as we used to call it). Other reviewers are saying there are supposed to be 3 girls at least? I'm going to assume this is either a bug or a terribly confusing interface.

The game is made from a virgin for virgins. Else I can't explain the feedback in the comments.
1. Another phone game. Yeah we have like trillion phone games already but I have to say there are a lot of worse games of that kind.
But it also doesn't do something unique or special. And having several stories inside one phone game is nothing special. I would prefer having them all separated but more time of effort into them.
2. I don't create AI images so I can be wrong on this one but the images does not look like there are much effort in them. They look extremely basic. The good thing is that I did really find the usual errors like a sixth finger etc. There are not a lot of pictures because it's a phone game but those few images doesn't look like they were made with a lot of care and effort in post editing etc. But like I said I can be wrong on thise one.
3. The story is really lame and boring. So it's only worth to play if you just looking for the interaction between MC and the girl. Which is fine but now we come to the point why I said "a game for virgins".
The dialogues are bad. If you really think that is how a girl acts or that is how you bring that "lifestyle" into your relationship.. jesus stop fapping and leave your basement. And letting her text MC the whole time while riding another dick is also a dumb decision.
But as a game it still works. Close one eye and just try to enjoy what's in there. And if you like to be a cucked and do not care that the girl is acting wrong you will have a good time with the game.

Conclusion:
Typical Ai quality with nothing in the spotlight that makes this game special.

There are several stories, but the blonde chick (Annie) is more NTS, and I'm not usually that much into it, I'm more a NTR man, but god damn! Her story / section is amazing. I loved it. Best NTS I've played. Just for her 10/10
Now with the videos / animations ? 11/10

Probably not the best overall review for the game but a good quick review for those interested in the images and videos.

This game appears to be all NETORASE which translates into you/the MC being cucked by other guys willingly. The chat is OK leading up to the start of the cucking conversation(I'm not enough for you am I?) it feels forced and out of place with the conversation leading up.

Last notes: I came into it with the understanding it was like Netorare or maybe Netori because NTR tag typically means Netorare not Netorase(NTS). Netorase is a big thumbs down for me but if you enjoy being cucked this game is right down your alley.

One of the three stories that I played was pleasant and mostly wholesome without any shaming or unexpected detours or kinks.

The other two stories are largely your run-of-the-mill stories about the MC's partner being encouraged to explore themselves. However, at points both mention the M.C. has smaller genitalia than the new partner. Whether or not the developer understands this as a kind of shaming, it's still its own kink and should be warned about... ESPECIALLY when it's not mentioned at all up until the moment of the partner either engaging in the act or recounting it. Even moreso, in my opinion, when the MC goes unnamed. It should be expected, intended or otherwise, that an unnamted character might serve as a self-insert for the reader/player to immerse themselves. It's a conscious choice by the developer(s) to be so pointed about comparing sizes. I would have preferred there be a warning for this kink.

I made a point of leaving feedback about this disappointment and how it ruined any desire I had to explore the other stories, and the dev asked me to give another character's story a try. Lo and behold, the exact same thing an incredibly similar thing (with a slightly different circumstance) occurred in that character's story where a viewer could be led to believe a very similar degradation has occurred for the MC. Frustrating, especially considering the time investment to reach that point. It leads me to believe the author is just trying to make a porn game. Fair enough, I guess.

The art isn't notable or special; nothing really sets it apart from all of the other AI slop in these games. There are a few animated portions which is always a pleasant surprise.

The characters are not memorable, nor do secondary or tertiary characters seem to exist as anything other than mechanisms to drive the plot forward. I found it hard to believe anyone 'existed' in these settings other than the MC and their LI.

I'd say I didn't notice many grammar or language issues, but to be honest I didn't notice any. Definitely a plus when so much content is barely readable due to horrible translation or completely busted or archaic idiosyncratic speech, with sentences that no human alive has ever spoken. Attempts at humorous conversation between characters felt at least a little less unnatural than many games, which I'd score as another plus.

There isn't a significant time investment to get through the content available. You can finish it all in a couple of hours if you're a slow reader.

TL;DR there isn't anything exceptional about this game in the landscape of AI NTR slop, and if you prefer to actively avoid the kink of size shaming degradation then this is one to miss. However, there is one wholesome and fun story to be explored for a bit of a smile and a break from goonergaming.

Edit: A response to this review made some less-than-generous assumptions about my state of mind and intelligence rather than acknowledging that some people have difference preferences and that's okay. I encountered content I both liked and did not like, expressed such and why, and was insulted for it. Perhaps this is my lesson learned: poor quality stains deeply, and searching for quality in AI slop NTR phone games is a fool's errand.

Reviewed on v0.7

Art
The game uses AI art so I'll judge it relative to other games with AI art. Images are quite sparse and I think the game would benefit from having more. It seems like AI animation is taking the place of having more images but to be honest, AI animation never does anything for me. I'd much rather prefer more variety in images.

The images themselves are not particularly dynamic or interesting, but the quality is alright. The highlight here is probably the style. I do think that all the female characters look pretty good.

Writing
The story and characters are pretty bare bones. That's not necessarily a bad thing. The writing is definitely more in line with a game like NTR Phone with its multiple stories and simple writing. Some of the characters are definitely more interesting than others but I think that's related to how much content they have. Annie has the most content and feels the much more fleshed out than the other characters. It's hard to judge how the other characters will turn out for now, but so far it's a bit of a mixed bag.

Presentation
The UI looks alright but that's about the only positive in this department. The game doesn't give you any information about where stories branch off or how to get the outcomes you want. That's fine in a game where you can easily rewind but this game uses a rudimentary save system that is not enough in my opinion. It's hard to tell which decisions are important and which ones are irrelevant. It feels like I'm fighting against the game and I feel this could be avoided with a bit more clarity. So there is actually a rewind system, making this part of the criticism invalid.

Another thing to note although this could be a problem on my own end. I could have sworn there was a skip dialogue option in a previous update but I don't see it anymore. Not sure if I'm misremembering or maybe I'm just not seeing it but it makes playing through the game very tiring. There's too much clicking and a fast forward button really is a must in games like this.

Conclusion
This game with some glaring issues with regards to saves and branching story paths. If those issues were resolved, this would be a decent enough NTS/NTR game. It splits its focus into a lot of routes and seems to promise great variety at the cost of depth. But with a lot of the promised variety currently missing, it just feels a bit mediocre at the moment.

I think this game is worth checking out if you really like this type of game but otherwise, it might be better to wait until this game gets some more updates. Once the engine sees some more improvements and more story is added, that's probably when the game will really take shape.

Really nice game, I think it has great potential. I was waiting for trying it on Android.

I really like the art style, and the different storylines touch on some interesting topics. It’s also refreshing to have stories told from a female POV, most games don’t offer both POVs.

The only thing I feel could use improvement is how the branching works. Having to replay an entire storyline just to see a different outcome can get a little frustrating, especially with longer storylines or tougher choices. I’m not sure if the best solution would be a “rewind to last choice” option, faster skipping, or a save system, but something along those lines would make a big difference. I don’t think just a gallery unlocker would do the trick, because I believe the value of the pictures comes with the context. The game grows and this issue will only become more noticeable.

That said, I really enjoy it overall. I’m giving it 5 stars to show my support.

The game provides a wide variety of different stories, characters and tastes. The ratio of text to picture is pretty good and the qualitiy of the pictures is perfect. AI can sometimes mess things up, but I couldn't find a single error.
Excited to see where this game goes.

The dialog is too bad. The speech sometimes feels the same on both sides, it's predictable and characters tell you their own traits instead of creatively showing how they are.

A phone setting may seem as easy to do, but people don't realize the less tools you have, the more overall skills you need to tell a story.

I can say that, for the submissive MC paths at least, this game is already worthy of a full five stars. The game has quality visuals, writing, and a variety of different love interests that have substantially different personalities.

That the personalities are all distinct yet endearing in their own way is a big part of why it merits a rating this high. In particular I appreciate Annie's character, a timid girl who has no idea that she's a stunning and that she's never explored her real desires, at least not physically. That she's able to communicate both the anxiety and the excitement of her discovering that side of herself is quite nice. Especially true given her communicating her continued affection for the MC and seeing that reciprocated is important.

The lack of a flowchart to easily try other routes and an average number of CGs means the game definitely has room for improvement. That said it's still easily in competition for the best in this genre and I have no reason to believe my concerns will not probably be resolved in future updates.

2/5 - Not even as good as some of the ones claimed to be "AI Slop"

Art 2.5/5 - Solid, attractive characters, could use a lot more pictures in-between.

Gameplay 1/5 - The skip option is either "go brrr", or suffer, I found it best to play with a cheat engine at 2x speed to make turtle the right speed. There's no save option in a game with pivotal choices and paths; you're expected to replay the same thing over and over just because there's no save slots to enjoy the game fully. I'd also reiterate here that the pictures in-between dialogue was lacking, for all routes.

Story 2/5 - I'll give it credit for the title saying NetoPhone and not explicitly or exclusively netorare. The only detailed stories feel largely netoraSE, nothing gripping about that, no depth to "hey beb sho him ur bobz lel hawnyemoji.png".
If it gets a multi-slot save option, gets some real NTR storylines, and fills in the void of slow moving banter with actual food I'll change this rating.

Reviewed on v0.5. This is my favorite of the games in the AI+PhoneSim genre! I especially like the art style + character designs. Very high quality & consistent despite being AI.

There's several different stories/POVs to play through, and each one feels unique from the others (male vs. female POV, cheating vs. sharing, etc.).

June and Annie are my favorites so far (both visually & story-wise), and thankfully they have the most content. There's different routes based on your choices for these girls, which lead to different side stories + art (as opposed to basically re-using the same pictures in different contexts). Really fun to read through, and one of the first games that I've played where I bothered to go back to try through the other routes for the same girl.

The other characters (especially Emma) feel a bit rushed, but it seems like they were "proof-of-concept" and Emma's getting reworked/fleshed out soon, so I'm looking forward to that.

Overall, I really suggest giving this game a try; It's the first one I've reviewed, so hopefully that says something!

This hidden gem does surprised me. The main selling point would be how your choice does really matter in each story. Plus each story could be rather short, at least compare to long standing main story from different game. Making it easy to have different route and make choices matter (no branching bottleneck). Plus I'm curious about how the dev manage to avoid performance issues though, especially for phone sim/screen like this.
But again, it's still in quite early development, so i hope the dev can be consistent enough with what's already good?

Before I read June's story I wouldnt have even bothered leaving a review, but that one alone makes this game worth playing. Which I thought was kind of funny because the other fem protag (the one that is the main banner image for the game?) was super bland and I barely even felt like reading the dialogue.

But theres a bit here for anyone who enjoys these phone style games, people clown on them and all that but ive enjoyed quite a few of them, and its usually immediately apparent which ones have effort put into them, this one feels like its doing enough to be worth a play.

So it is an Anthology NTR / Netorase stories all with different characters, perspectives using the same type of phone texting style we are familar with games like NTR mobile, NTR phone, Netorase Phone etc... This is one of those exceptions where it actually has multiple short stories with varying fetishes, and stories with different characters really helps to support an actually well written dialogue and game.

Now clearly this is an earlier version of the game and will be no doubt improved, the base game galleries, mobile sections, autosave mechanics, and basically quality of life is all here. A lot of these phone games, just kind of forget that this is a PHONE game so it should feel like we are using a phone down to the UI and interactions between interfaces. From quickly switching to texts, to seeing the blip of your phone battery. All of these are aesthetics that add to the overall experience that is very well done.

So in this humble Lewd-Gamers opinion this is one of the best in class. I will eagerly await the next updates, and hope and pray that there is more than just the current fetishes covered.

Its hopefully a taste for whats to come! Give it a try !
