Others - Completed - Nightmare Erosion (NTR Loop) [Final] [DoubleHeart]

Impressive that the dev's able to implement real-time rendering of 3D models and their animation in-engine rather than playing a webm like what everyone else did, but considering it's Godot and how badly the game runs even on a high-end computer, it doesn't really speak for the quality of the end product.

First of all, the Final build currently released on thread doesn't even run properly, you had to adjust the configuration and settings in the files as told in the thread otherwise the game will freeze completely. How didn't the dev notice this before releasing it is beyond me other than the possibility that he didn't bother playtest the game or it somehow works out for him.

Secondly, this is a 1 GIGABYTE glorified gallery with very little plot. You move into an apartment with your wife where you do nothing but sleep in your bed, and you two get transferred into the dream world by the evil artifact that the MC put next to their beds, and then she gets raped once you walk into a specific spot without even an explanation or ounce of logic at all.
There's some vague instance of lore and implications to the supernatural, but it's not really resolved beyond your wife succumbing to cocks in the hell dimension or some shit. You walk around a giant map without a real goal where you find an event spot to see a basic, short animation of her getting fucked and the dream ends.

Whether the dev meant for there to be more or that it's an experimental game (as it's his very first one), this is not very good or worth the trouble of downloading the game in my opinion. Granted, the overall effort is very commendable as he implemented a cross-section and a blackjack minigame, not to mention it's completely free even on other sites. But I feel like there can be a lot more done with its presentation and execution to actually make the game NTR rather than the martial status of you two being said in the intro and nothing else being done to establish it, besides the MC screaming his lungs out in his dialogue box as he cannot help but see his wife get raped.

I feel like the dev could easily create a longer and better game under a similar template and concept, as the game's biggest problem stems from its lack of build-up to anything as if it's trying to speedrun itself. But on the other hand, I don't suppose it would be pleasant trying to optimize the piece of shit that is Godot.

Final Ranking:
Commendable effort but unimpressive execution, 4/10.

Just a game with nothing to do, some reused animations that most don't look great, and a porn story plot. Honestly give this one a miss because again it isn't good and there are FAR better out there after all.

Good game held back by gamebreaking bugs. The NTR theme is very nicely done. Combination of 2d map with 3d screen showing what is happening is awesome. At first you will be amazed. After longer play you will realize that lot of animations are repeating themselves in different scenarios. But considering that despite that, there is a LOT of those animations, it is not a problem.

Would give it just 3 stars since at some point the game corrupted my saves and destroyed my entire progress, but since it has "gallery" which basicaly functions like stage-skip mechanic, I could fake my progress through that. And for that it gets the fourth star.

If it had its bugs fixed it would definitely be 5 star game for its genre.

A wise man once told me the more sinister the NTR is the hotter the wife would be. This game is no exception. But much like life it is not without its flaws. As it stands as of the current update it is probably if not one of the more inventive NTR style of game. Having a separate window to see what happens to your wife on one side without getting rid of the pixelated style of the game not only allows for better visuals but also allows for a better experience for the pleasuring of one's self. Most of the scenes not only add a bit of flair and variety but that sense of helplessness in the "Nightmare" part. With both adjustability for your wife and a choice of the people they will encounter on your journey it makes this more personal and thus more impactful. I genuinely thought I had seen all the scenes but I was rightfully mistaken upon further inspection this game goes deeper than once thought. Not to mention it has one of my favorite tropes of menu changes upon opening the game after your wife's choice the Main menu will change accordingly. So on those parts I cannot fret or complain.

But now comes the issues I have with the game not to say that it isn't good but it can be improved on. First and foremost the range where you talk to people in the game could be tweaked in order to not be dick to dick with the person you want to talk to before initiating conversation. Not to mention some interactions do not work such as the 2nd delivery mission after the erosion in the city. Though it is not vital I would've liked the option to go through with it. Secondly it may be me but the amusement park level seemed a but too large from a walking standpoint and adding an ability to navigate faster would be a good idea in my opinion. Thirdly the bugs and glitches could be worked on such as if you get the strip option on the gameshow and you choose to walk around afterward the character will be topless until you try any sort of interaction their torso will disappear and also the inability to use a hotel without a companion apparently is a mandatory inclusion. Fourthly the security camera section could be worked on as I could not find any instances of these issues no matter what camera I was on which I understand is not the main focus but it did leave me stuck for a while. Lastly the ending did quite confuse me from a narrative standpoint not to say that they are terrible but just very sudden.

So overall I had a very good time with this game and am surprised with its low rating on the site despite what it has to offer. So I wait here to see what else DoubleHeart is will work on whether a new game or additions to this one I will be watching and waiting intently.

I am surprised by how low this is rated.

The biggest frustration I had with the game was that it is still pretty janky. Lots of bugs and stuff that crash my game (I'm playing through Whisky on my Mac, so I may be part to blame).

But those headaches are worth a very fun game. It is exciting to see what is happening behind the MCs back with that special view. The corruption mechanic is not too slow, and is made plausible by the curse/dreamscape setting of the game.

Regarding this setting, the way it is changing and sort of surreal is unique and a great way to do NTR. It is literalizing the nightmare. And then you wake up to find it's all just a dream... or is it? Really very good and unlike so much of the cookie cutter stuff that's out there right now.

Big fan. There's lots of content in it now, but I'm excited to see how it ends and what's next from this dev.

This is a bad game. It has bad gameplay and a bad plot. There is absolutely no optimization. The amount of bugs sometimes makes your eyes twitch. But... This game is fun. It is NTR, bad NTR (as mentioned above, the plot is bad), but as a hentai game it works. If you have time and an old laptop that you don't mind setting on fire, then play this game, you may regret it or have a good evening.

honestly really impressed by the active view of the scenes during gameplay, would like to see more of this game, I really hope that the creator keeps the updates rolling, I hope they also find a way to keep it accessible to western audiences, as Ci-en is tough to navigate without being able to read other languages other than English

the control is some how bad for me.
i even can't play it ez.

And like everyone know wirting is so so so bad there just random sex thing + with some game and have a girs who the game make that to our wife

Rev @ Nightmare Erosion (NTR Loop) [v1]

Cucked my GPU from me and made me cry.

Art's a thing. The chipset is ugly, the standing pics are fine but somebody else's render software.

Writing is poor; scenario's not the most trite, but after the intro it only appears in cringy exposition dump random documents.

Porn's meh. Paced poorly, no agency; stuff just happens whenever it feels like.

Gameplay is a trainwreck. Somehow the menus try to bake my rig, the native resolution seems to be around 16 x 9 ... pixels total.

TLDR: at the moment this is entirely rough edges and no diamonds.

For the most part it's slop, but it's good slop that's worth a try if you are into NTR. A good amount of quantity throughout the entire game, quality is a different story. This is extremely promising though and is only held back by a lack of polish, and rather frustrating technical issues such as crashing and UI bugs.

i see the vision, definetly needs polishing. A lot of polishing.

but it's new, and i like that the DEV is daring to try something new instead of generic slop.

For now it's a 3, but i can see this becoming a 4+ if the dev works on the corruption rate, slower build up and betters the controls.

very noice

Overall I like this game. There is some weirdness that needs to be cleaned up with the controls. And after I completed the casino area it started to bug out. The map was only in the top left corner and I couldnt really move. And then it transported me to the yacht or ship and then it just soft locked itself there. I didnt want to play that part again so I just quit after that. Graphics are pretty good and the gameplay is pretty fun. Would like more stuff to come in the future and those bugs to get cleaned up. Keep up the good work.

This has a good base for potentially becoming a great game.

BUT it does have some things that push it down a few pegs, hence the 3 star review.

I really like the animations and how you can see your gf on the side of the screen.
The fact that the POV of the scene changes depending on where you are to the event is also awesome.
The models look nice and the animations are okay. Love the use of shadows/sillhouettes.

Sadly, there are plenty of bugs that slow the game down or break it. I'm pretty sure the dev is using the GADDOT engine from what I can see and the way the game performs.

The variety in the scenes themselves is very little, movement is a bit too static and there is no cumming portion of the animations.

If the dev is willing to put more time and effort into updating this game or into their next one - it's going to be an absolute banged.

But for now - 3 stars from me.

Genuinely confused to the whole introduction to this one, you get thrown into a very short prolouge without much introduction to our main characters and their roles, after going right to sleep you wake up in a mysterious new land and also get 0 dialouge/reaction from the MC & spouse or explanation besides some small notes along the paths to the town. Getting into the actual gameplay your spouse gets thrown right into NTR minigames which are extremely boring or poorly designed but get the general idea out there of what you need to do.

Aside from the gameplay the game is stuck in a very annoying resolution, the pause menu constantly gets stuck if you tab out too many times, and the controls are really annoying to use. Theres a 'how to play' section but you can hardly read half of it without needing to be an inch away from your screen. I hope this game gets some improvement in the future as these type of uploads aren't that often anymore

It's okay.

Pixel art + animations in sidebar, mostly obvious NTR sex, some semi-hidden stuff as well. You can choose for the most part how much you see.

Had a couple of crashes but otherwise mostly stable.

Gameplay is based around various minigames, some of which are fine, some are obnoxious, some are just boring, ymmv.

The sex animations are fairly repetitive and there's no real emotional attachment from the mc to his gf/wife (I'm unsure what their exact relationship is).

There's quite a few different scenario areas although they all have the same basic minigame > sex > minigame > sex etc.

Distinctly average but interesting enough that you might want to take a look and may improve in the future.

It's extremely rough around the edges, has some bugs and crashes, and the walk speed is far too slow for the large maps.

That being said, I'm gonna give this 5 stars. Mainly based off the potential and uniqueness. It's also pretty hot and has a good amount of content already for a first release/dev build. Most first releases on this website don't even have a tenth of the content or a fraction of the originality by comparison.

As for the game itself, it would more accurately be titled "Schizophrenic fever dream." You go to bed, wake up isekai'd in an area where everyone is trying to get with your wife, then walk from place to place seemingly randomly experiencing H events. Sometimes you're on a resort island, sometimes you're in a forest getting attacked by bandits, sometimes you're in an amusement park, but always someone is trying to screw your wife. There's a good variety of locations and events at the cost of not really having continuity, but that's part of it being a dream, I suppose. There's two variants for each event, low lewdness and high(100+) lewdness. The hotel scene has a few more variants at high lewdness.

You also get to pick a 3rd party member who will be doing most of the cucking, which is cool. They have names such as: Strongman, and Black. You'll never guess what they look like.

Great Concept, Poor Execution.

I really like the idea of having Real-Time 3D animations of the action going on with the 2D characters and the PoV is nice on the few scenes where you're moving around and you can view what's happening from different angles.

The Mini-Games make no sense. The Vollyeball game is completely Fucked. If you don't snatch the volleyball right away, they'll end up getting stuck in an infinite loop up in the top-right corner, constantly stealing from each other resetting the ball position over and over. If that happens, it's a soft-lock.

The Anomaly viewing mini-game had some nice NTR going on, but the actual Mini-Game part made zero sense. I figure you just randomly report something is happening until you move on.

The 3D sprites are pretty consistent with the 3D Engine used, but the 2D sprites were crap.

Would love to see someone competent make an NTR game with this kind of setup: 2D map and movement with the 3D view and animation.

Great idea, but poor execution.

I see the vision of what they're going for. Unfortunately, this is a generally unpleasant experience with the current content and gameplay choices. It's VERY rough around the edges right now. It's super buggy, lacks proper explanations for the game's mechanics, and is just plainly unpolished, unfinished, and more of a proof-of-concept than anything. (There is a surprising amount of content, but it's all very samey and lacks build-up.)

As a fan of "soft NTR", I appreciate that it doesn't lean into the "hard NTR" aspect, which is all about emotional anguish. I understand that most NTR fans enjoy that, but I've always hated it. Turns out, I find taboo, cheating sex far more erotic than mental torment. I don't think it'll stay that way, though, just going off of the dialogue and events that are present. I imagine this will have more direct, hard NTR in its final version. Sad for me, but great for those that want it.

Having said that, the sex is almost immediate, so there's nothing here for people that like a slow-burn. There's no tension, as the protagonist is repeatedly made aware and even outright directly told what is happening to his wife. It's a strange choice imo, as this genre of NTR, especially with the side-screen animations, often works best with an unwitting protagonist. It serves as a sexy contrast that only the player is aware of, which is a concept that has previously heightened games that would have otherwise been dismissed because of their bad art and/or awful gameplay.

Unfortunately, the animations lack weight, have poor alignment, have repetitive sound effects, and have no climax. The player is given little knowledge of what they'll be getting into with each mini-game they come across, and many of the mini-games have recycled animations, most of which are, again, poor. This makes the mini-games feels even worse, because the reward for engaging with them is mediocre, and the gameplay they provide is already awful/buggy. The cruise ship is one you come across after the mansion that really hammers this home.

The game's sections bleed together with little coherency, though maybe that's intentional due to the pseudo-dream setting of the plot. You're never really playing with any intent or goal in mind. You're just going from place to place, without a real method of navigating the world, or making sense of your progression within it.

The skeleton of this game is good, but it's got a long way to go before it's fun/arousing to play.

As of writing this review, this game has no kind of FPS limiter, vsync, or any kind of method of configuring 3D settings. It simply maxes out whatever hardware you have. I watched the temperature on my GPU spike higher than when I play something like Cyberpunk 2077 or even MH Wilds.

Unless you want to stress-test your hardware, don't touch this until the developer learns how to unfuck things.
