VN - Unity - Netorase Phone [v0.25] [Le Stag]

this game seemed like it had a lot of promise but eventually got boring for me. it's very, very dialogue-heavy (its a phone game), but the dialogue doesn't ratchet any tension. she's just giving a play by play of sex, using normal language you'd use in a text instead of detailed descriptions you'd find in a book or in erotica. that's a problem for a game that is almost entirely text.

well, you do get an image every few minutes... but unfortunately, they're pretty bad! the art feels very "basic," using stock poses that were probably downloaded from civitai. never anything surprising or "holy shit that's hot."

the game started to do something interesting when it introduced multiple bulls and started treating the old bulls like cucks. maybe not everyone's interest, but at least it felt fresh. but then the author promptly apologized and said he'd rewrite it after the community complained. for me, this is a cardinal sin of interesting game development. i prefer when developers write stories that THEY find hot, instead of focus-grouping their game with bunch of patreon lunatics.

this made me go, "why am i playing this game with mid dialogue, mid pictures, and mid storylines?" maybe others will find it amazing, but to me, it's a bit of a failed experiment.

I have only recently begun enjoying NTRS games, but alreadyd I can tell that there are very few of them around, good ones even less. This is definitely one of the good ones.
The AI art is of high quality and very consistent, the story is as good as it gets for a phone-style game and in all the routes that I've played the player remains in control while still feeling that things might escalate beyond that.

There are a number of things I'd like to see in the future, though some are obviously getting added without my input while others are my personal preferences:

• Creampies (duh)
• A bull with a truly massive shlong (while Nathan is described as having a dig bick, in the BJ pictures at least it looks rather unimpressive). I don't really care if the owner of said shlong is black/white/whatever.
• As an extension of the previous point, it would be fun to see the GF in a mixture of pain and pleasure and not just enjoying herself, as well as some wilder sex positions, i.e. full nelson, piledriver etc. (though that might be a bit too out there and hard to achieve with AI art)
• Some action with the other girls, preferably the MC fucking them and reporting it to the GF in the same style. In other words the GF develops the NTS kink. I realize that the author has stated that the game is based on his own experiences and revolves mainly around the girl, but I feel like certain liberties ought to be taken in order to keep the game interesting as well as the percieved balance of the couple's relationship.

Minus points:

• Too few pictures. The ones that are there are great, but considering its AI art, i'd expect quite a few more, hell maybe even looped gifs/short videos.
• The GF occasionally addressing the MC as a "good boy", basically commanding him to masturbate and other things of such nature, regardless of the route you take is a little off putting.

Overall the game is great and the minuses I listed are negligeble, which is why I'm still giving it the full five stars.

Easily one of the best games I've ever played. The writing is phenomenal. I can't stress enough how well-realized and alive the relationships in this game feel. And the simple, but effective phone interface really adds to the immersion of it all. It genuinely feels like being in a relationship and exploring kinks with someone you care about. Its a really remarkable experience and I would highly recommend giving it a shot.

Very good Netorase game focused on sharing. The use of IA pictures is well implmented, and is not a lazy game, dialogs are well constructed, and the MC and the main girl have good relationship. Looking forward to new content

Some people need to rethink about their weird criticism that was constructed on the non-existing base that the game isn't delivering on your random, "unrelated to the theme" expectations of it.

The MC is not a cringy, pretentious "alpha male" who "does not take NO for an answer", simple as that. I'm sorry there's no choice in the game where you can be the insecure bf who can't decide what you want, who would had cold feet in every determining moment, but it's not fair to call it a flaw. It's not "lacking meaningful choices", it's "I'll save your time and show you the content". And aside from the fake choices, there are meaningful choices you can make in the game, if you don't intentionally ignore them or pretend they don't exist.

If you somehow have this intense negative feeling of being neglected or disrespected by Laura, while the majority of the player don't have such feeling, it's very possible that you're just overly sensitive. Overthinking and imagining how she was doing you wrong, even though there's no evidence to support that suspicion. And maybe you're even projecting your past failure in relationship, explaining to yourself it was this character that causing your anxiety.

I'm not here to bash your feeling. But I do think you need to learn your own emotions and look at it in an more objective angle. I and many other see Laura as caring, loving gf who fulfill her man's desire, and at the same time, enjoying the process to the fullest. You don't have the all-seeing eyes that get pass her disguise, it's just in your head.

This game finds the perfect balance between storytelling and CG content. Here are my thoughts:

- The dialogs are thought through without typos or grammar mistakes
- The storyline gives you plenty of option to choose from
- The CGs are consistent. Meaning, the faces of the characters don't vary (too much) and the body shapes are consistent aswell
- The Interface is (now) easy to work with
- The updates could sometimes be a bit larger
- The character design is awesome, the dialogs, answers and language make them super relatable

Overall great game in development!

This game is a piece of art fr, i hope it never ends
With different choices, different situations, and definitely it would be more amazing if he put some audio, video, or anything!! Just let him cookkkkkkk

I would give a higher review since the art, character aesthetics and over-all design is great, but the character interactions (especially the MC and GF) bring it down.

The story builds well at the start and is intriguing, but all the paths (so far) are the same beta-cuck paths with slightly different dialogue. Even the DOM MC route is just her doing all the DOM/ALPHA lines for you. 98 percent of the erotic lines between the GF and the MC are from her experience, or are her TELLING YOU what she wants to hear you say/do.

After the first sex secene, just like heroin, the game is repetitively trying to reach the same high, but never getting it. The redundant themes and word choice doesn't help this: too much Nathan, lack of diversity in text (simple 5-word lines, etc), over-use of emoticons, "horny boy," or "yes, that's what I thought," "Is that right/correct," etc.

Angry complaint:

If your GF is spending the night with another dude against your wishes while you're at home; if she is calling him a bull and flirting with him CONSTANTLY within the first week she bangs him; if she is fucking him repeatedly and even potentially reserving exclusive sexual acts for him while denying you other women...it's not NETORASE PHONE, it's A CUCK'S PHONE, and that's not her bull, it's her new boyfriend. Welcome to polyandry.

Game could be 5 stars with a rework of the DOM route, focusing more on the MC for dialogue, especially in the erotic scenes/lines...more flirting with the other girls or even a group-share, swinging or open-relationship feel to it. Something different than just editing some words a different color but not actually changing the meaning or tone.

A neat concept but at the current level choices don't really matter. A lot of times you can either agree or agree with an emoji (something that has already been talked about in the thread). But with a few additional options this could easily be a great game (fingers crossed).

It's a great game for those who are fans of netorase and netorare. It combines a unique gameplay style with good writing and really decent art. You can get really into the history and the art in my opinion is probably the best part of it. I hope the author will update more on the submission route, I really like it

v0.9.1

"Netorase Phone" should really be called "One-Sided Open Relationship Phone".
No idea why the Dev felt the need to call it Netorase, when he himself states it is 'nearly exclusively the girl's journey' based on his own experiences of letting his GF discover and adventure on her own, with him being only a spectator ...

Yeah, what exactly does this have to do with Netorase? I feel like I got duped by false advertising.
It's supposed to be a fetish anchored in a guy's selfish desire to see his partner engage in sexual affairs for his own satisfaction, based on mutual trust and unconditional love, followed up by reclaiming and reassurance - not this sexual liberation stuff ...

As for the game itself:

• Dialogue feels stilted and repetitive (horny boy, yes, yes, yes) and buzzwords like 'reclaim' and 'living dildo' feel too on the nose
• AI pics are passable, but certainly not the meat of the game

Almost all other criticism towards the game (lack of action by the player, NTR vibes etc.) can be explained away by a mismatch of expectations.
This is not an NTS game.
This is a game about the sexual self-discovery of the MC's girlfriend with other partners from the player's point of view. The MC's 'fetish' a barely justified reason for the GF to fuck around.

If one isn't bothered by the premise, then 'Netorase' (lmao) Phone is a very enjoyable game with replay value.

One of the best games of this genre I have played and the best AI image generated game I have encountered so far.

Pros:

• Gf character is amazing with such a lovable personality.
• Characterization of MC and other side characters are also full of personality and feels very natural.
• The writing is perfect with no grammatical errors.
• Art is consistent for an AI game and high quality as well.
• Plenty of pics both during acts and outside of acts and casual conversations which makes the relationship feel a lot more real.
• Pacing is great and there is mutual respect between all characters and subtle changes in the way the act based on prior decisions.

Cons/Hopeful Improvements.
There arent many but just some small issues that can hopefully be worked on.

• Addition of erotic sounds and animated clips of some sort? I tried another game of the same genre called Luckyphone. While its nowhere near as good, it does implement those two things really well.
• More variation in choices and effect of it. Often times, the choices presented to MC are basically the same. Like, say "Yes" and "I do". Whats the point of giving choices if they are exactly the same and doesnt change anything? So, it would be nice to add some variety in choices.
• Gf is sometimes a bit too perfect. I love the dynamic between MC and gf, but sometimes it feels a bit too perfect and no sense of a bit of jeopardy and unease that can happen in a relationship like this. It would be nice if occasionally when gf is with bull she forgets to text mc or goes missing for a while and MC has to check up on her, or he gets a surprise text from the friends or the bull with a pic or description whats happening. It has happened once or twice like at the party with Ashley. But it would be nice to see a bit more of such instances perhaps based on choices we make.
• Better save system. I play on android since this feels better on an actual phone, but the save system seems hard to figure out. The game NTRphone has a feature where we can tap on a message that results in a choice which will bring us back to the choice, that would be nice.

But overall, amazing game and so much content for being only 6 months old. Looking forward to future updates.

This game is an absolute masterpiece in the netorase genre. The writing is top-notch, with well-crafted relationships and characters that quickly become endearing. The artistic direction is simply outstanding, pulling you deep into the story from the very start. The way the game immerses you into the perspective of the main character makes the experience incredibly thrilling and engaging.

On top of all this, the creator is a genuinely kind and active individual who listens to the community, which is a huge plus for the development and future direction of the game. Regular updates on Discord and Patreon keep the excitement alive. Without a doubt, this is one of the best games on F95!

My first review on this site

I really like this game and I’m not a fan of text base games

but le stag make this so realistic and slow burn that it’s worth the reading.

the different routes are quit the same but the little different in the text is marvelous

and the pictures are great. Good AI and how he plan it in the game is good.

I can’t wait till the next update will come and luckily he update this game every month right now

Dialogue is fantastic, the situations are believable, my one gripe was going to be the AI art, but it's either been touched up and selectively chosen to be mostly unnoticeable. You have a choice on how you want these scenarios to play out, but in the end (so far, anyways) the main girl always comes back to you with love and care in every word. Very, very good time.

Premise: I've only experienced the "submissive" part of the story.

The writing is really good, very evocative and I liked how the pictures were used. Laura is great, and I loved how she was her own person, sometimes pushing back if you request something too out there too early. Overall, the netorase part of Netorase Phone is an absolute 10/10 for me.

My only complaints come from 2 things:

No skip/fast forward button means that going for different routes takes a while, especially since texts are often sent word for word (which otherwise works, as I said it's quite evocative).

I'm not quite sure what happened, but at a certain scene in chapter 15 (iirc), Laura asks you to touch yourself while she tells you about her encounter with Nathan. I said yes, and she acknowledged it, but then the game switched gears randomly and she said that to punish me for not touching myself, she'll send me a blurred out pic. I thought it was a bug, so I restarted the chapter, and everything else was wiped out! Every previous pic, conversation and seemingly, decision. Ashley started sending me pics of herself even though I asked her not to, and so on. Fortunately, it seems that the general direction stayed the same.

Now for my personal hopes for the future, while keeping in mind that I have no idea how complex game making is!

At multiple times, I thought that the phone screen pic we set should somehow have some effect, be it a couple of lines or a more direct effect, like a bonus scene. That is mainly because having our screen saver set to Laura with Nathan would probably make it clear what kind of relationship we have, and since in later chapters Laura mentioned not wanting other to know that we're a cuck couple (yet), this might be used for that. Again, it might be an unreasonable idea.

Overall, great game, I look forward to seeing future updates!

I would love to give this game a better review but I think that with each release it shows that there is no actual direction.

It starts nicely and seems like it is going to be a interesting branching story with several characters with and multiple paths for both GF and MC but your GF will quickly reveal her true self, she is in fact more into the NTR stuff than you and the whole story quickly turns into her repeatedly fucking the only other guy Nathan.

I was more curious about the MC cheating path with other girl but there is just a few photos of her tits she sends you and nothing more.

Long story short: I played it from early versions and downloading every update it gets and it starts to get boring because simply I don't think that there is any plot or character development planned, author just adds content randomly with each update clearly making things up on the spot.

Great narrative game, But I would like that in the submissive route the girlfriend makes more decisions on her own and without asking, for example, if you do not obey her, she chooses the life goal "her privilege."
Anyway, goooooood Netorase game.

a kinetic porn in full AI style, very cartoonish, very bad and boring plot, too many monologues by Laura that are boring, then now Laura's boyfriend is Nathan, Mc is only the passive spectator.

Amazing art, great interactions between characters and believable developments! Incredible game for what it is! The setup is pretty basic but it works really well! Only thing is I wish it would be longer with more content between MC and the friends and a little more control over what the GF does but that does nothing to desuade me from giving a well deserved 5 stars!
