Sorry, I was just beta-testing for the Android problem !
(PS : No for real, I'll wait for the actual release, just wanted to see if the game would still crash for me... and it does, I don't know if it's the same for others)
You got me. Good on ya. Honestly I don't mind waiting a week. I'm broke or I would subscribe. Ty Le Stag for a great game in general.

Yeah, I hoped the script changes would solve the Android issues, but... =(Sorry, I was just beta-testing for the Android problem !

Back to Analytics to understand what's happening then...
Playing on android, the only crash i see is when RAM use gets too big and the app reloads when I switch to other apps
For me, it starts, with a dark grey background... and crashes back to android desktop after a few seconds.
There may be no NTR encyclopedia (though I wouldn't be surprised if there was), but there's VNDB for visual novels and lo and behold the kinetic novel definition: "A kinetic novel is a VN that does not present the "player" with any choices at all; they simply read through a single unbranching story."
Netorase Phone has choices, like the (very) Dom/Sub ones, those that get you some variations on some scenes (with their own CGs), and the ones that prevent or allow some character's actions (Ashley's teasing, Oliver being a bull, etc.). While we could argue about the first 2 categories, the last one is impactful enough not to match with the Wikipedia definition: "Kinetic novels are visual novels with non-branching plots, similar to a conventional novel or a graphic novel in multimedia form."
Netorase Phone is not a kinetic novel.

Well, I'd say it is myself, to be honest.

So there won't be multiple endings or anything like that?Well, I'd say it is myself, to be honest.
Don't count on me to add the tag on VNDBWell, I'd say it is myself, to be honest.
LineageOS and android 14 too ! On an old redmi note 7.
What sparks my curiosity is that the first versions worked really well, then it started going downhill with each version : one version lagged, the following one had freezes, then the next added occasional crashes, and the last two won't even start.
I might not have enough RAM, but why would open world 3D games run on my phone and not this one ?
There is no branching, there is no paths, there is only pseudo-choices which lead to add a few line of text or just skip some event. If you want to see not a kinetic novel play Our Red String once and you will see the difference.
Netorase Phone is clearly a kinetic novel.
Very well done to the level it doesn't matter, but kinetic.
Thank you Le StagWell, I'd say it is myself, to be honest.

There are no big branches but there are some twigs, maybe? Hahaha
Besides the different texts, which you could argue it doesn't count, last chapter we could tell Laura to come home or to surprise Nathan in the shower, which had different pictures.
Even thought it's small things, I wouldn't consider this KN because of it. But you do you.

When you have only 1 guy, 3 main girls, 2 bulls, 1 side girl with real branching you will be "well, lets play a route when I am dominant king, watching Laura get fucked by 2 bulls in Ashley's living room, while Tara and Ashley sucking me off"
all I have to do is choose dominant, come to Ashley and listen together to Laura and Nathan, and insist for Tara sending completely nude selfie to me, because if she send bra selfie it will be a different scene, when only Ashley sucking me off and Tara just watch and masturbate
this is call real VN with real branches
if people whole game clicking everything related to jealousy respond to be awarded by 2 strings of text added to the same main text I wouldn't consider it even as a twigs. But you do you.
"no branching" -> skips are shortcuts, shortcuts are branchings, even if they lead to the same point later, like a branch road.
"no paths" -> let me quote Le Stag:
Those paths change how you're treated by other characters and lead to variations like how they talk to you, what they do to Laura and even how some scenes conclude.
"only pseudo-choices" -> how is accepting/rejecting Ashley or any bull a pseudo-choice? That's pretty major on the scale of this story.
Most people here know what a traditional VN is, no need to make a pretentious show of how you know about the game #3520 on the "number of people who rated it" ranking on VNDB. It's like describing what an action movie is to a r/moviecritic redditor by taking "Warriors of the Rainbow" as the example.
