Others - Nostalgia and Lust [v1.18] [honestentity]

This is by far the best game ive ever found on this site.

the game feels very well crafted, smooth and polished. the gameplay loop can be tedious in the beginning but but once you get a hang of the management system it goes quickly. I did not experience any bugs except maybe some of the 3d cloth clipping.

Im usually not one who likes to immerse myself in a game except for the rare gems on this site, I tend to skip through dialogue just to get to the good stuff and goon but this game had me reading the dialogue and made realize that I actually enjoy the reading part when it is done well. If you are someone who likes good writing this game is for you. most writing and translations are absolute garbage but Id give this game a 10/10 for writing.

(big ntr fan here) (SPOILER!!!) If you wanna nit pick about specifics and technicality, the MC and female MC aren't actually together, rather just like each other and she deals with the gooner landlords antics in order to live in the apartment next to MC, so some people might argue that this isnt real ntr but to those people i would say stop crying. Lemme tell ya this shit is GOOD! The "ntr" is done right with a slow build up behind the scenes

The female MC keeps a secret diary which doubles as the scene gallery but not every scene or variation of a scene is available which is slightly disappointing, The in game web-browser [X] is right under the actual game window [X] which would be nice if there was some space in between so you dont accidentally close out of the game and lose progress like I did, with that being said remeber to save the game often when progress is made.

Overall great game, one of the best on the entire site.
Nice to see a dev take pride in a game and craft something actually worth while. Amazing. Definitely will consider supporting this dev.

i can see this being one of the top games on this site if done right.

Maybe in the future we can get a corruption bar or something?
Maybe more npcs and outdoor events, more corruption and she may get harrased.

Subtle thumbnail changes the more corrupted she gets.

Stream variaty, outdoor streams, which i think may be planned? seeing as you can select what type of stream u want, only game being available now.

Really nice game and concept

It's actually 4 stars for me as it stands, but i see a great potential with this game design , so I would love to see more similar titles or expansion of current one (just keep adding more girl tenants and/or rivals for their affection), so bumped to 5. Really scratches voyeuristic itch when it just lets you roam 3d map of the dorm with proximity sex sounds , adjustable opacity (so you can have a mystery NTR and whatnot), and even cheat items to look in on the action directly(only thing missing are items and textures to show the aftermath in places where sex happened between morning and evening). Feels way superior to RPGM games when they try to do mystery scenes from mc's perspective.

Also, a game where you presented a challenge(and I'm not talking just mini-games) and get punished with NTR only if you fuck up is always appreciated.
Which is actually hard to do in this game(besides maybe first 2 weeks) if you don't spend your money willy-nilly. Streamer management gameplay feels pretty barebones, but it's pretty fresh and original design, so gets a pass for me. Maybe a bit more tutorials or more fleshed out feedback for video stats, so players could feel what to focus on and what to ignore to get decent cashflow, would help with frustration for some players. Also fleshing out the working tabs further can help to make it feel less of a grind.

Writing itself is not that strong, and can jump in tone between events a bit too much, but that's nothing new in NTR genre. At least it takes into account who got higher affection tiers first in some scenes(instead of relegating it all to the ending) . At least heroine seems cute and got some personality.

As for the renders itself - it's pretty standard 3d sex scenes deal with model clipping , BUT it's done in new engine so feels pretty fresh for now. Sex scenes got that filthy modded Koikatsu vibe for ntr (i'm sure you've seen a clip or two using those animations), and vanilla koikatsu for pure route. Appreciate animations for normal scenes, like them doing workout together.

TLDR: a bit grindy, but original title with fresh ideas and engine, would love to see more of this dev's work

I really like the concept of game as the current version. I know there are missing a lot of content but the creator make the game to become very interesting with the simple idea

Pro
- nice model
- animation

Cons
- still need more polishing and content in the future, keep it up!!!!!

As a fan of NTR, free roam, voyeurism ans animated game, this one is really nice !

Pros :
- Free roam, you can discover by yourself what's happening in an organic way
- Sound effects, it's really nice to hear what's happening the more you get close to the action. Also it had a very good touch of voyeurism.
- Models are nice
- The stream mechanic is a good idea
- Story topic is also nice
- I enjoyed guessing what was happening behind windows and doors, more of this vibe would be amazing

Cons:
-More developped animations and moanings would be awesome to improve fap potential
-More poses and events would be nice as well
- Stream mechanic is nice but doesn't contribute much to the story. Adding a exhibition/corruption side could be nice. Like the girl ntring MC with subscribers and MC aknowledges it with DMs and pics or real life events. Also it could be adult streams.
- the POV was broken, it was bending on one side as if MC was drunk
- when the game ended I was disappointed as I wanted more of it. In my opinion, the part between when the girl gets corrupted (with tattoos etc) and the end is a bit fast.

Keep going, there are not much games like these one !

Nostalgia and Lust is a game about sitting in front of a computer.

I kid, but I kinda don't. The vast majority of the game consists of scheduling your childhood friend's streaming career and managing her money, which is all done in front of the computer. You can choose what games she plays, which additions you want to make to improve her videos and keep track of her fan base. Unfortunately, this is all without art as of yet and the numbers seem to have enough variance to them to where it's difficult to tell if you're even making the slightest amount of difference. Mostly, it's really tedious and unrewarding.

When you finally leave your computer (once or twice a week), there's NTR content (and maybe dating?) to find. Basically, if you get enough money to pay the childhood friend's rent you can pay it to avoid NTR. You can also knock on her door to see if she wants to spend time with you, which appears some level of random. I played two weeks before I gave up.

Frankly, the gameplay is the problem. When "managing" the childhood friend's streaming career consists of no images, little feedback as to what improves income (or a tutorial), and no opportunities for corruption, I'm left wondering why I bother. When a game touts itself as a "youtuber simulator" I expect that to be at the forefront. Currently, the game feels like a scene gallery with filler getting in the way.

There might be good NTR scenes, there might be a lovey dovey childhood friend romance, but I'm not about hitting skip day or navigating a system with no guidance to try and find them. I like the way this game looks, but if it wants to be an actual game, it needs to have some sort of a rewarding or entertaining gameplay loop before anything else. Otherwise, it'd make a better scene gallery.

Wow... Just wow!

For a game made in god damn Godot out of all engines, it surely does strike some good NTR stuff! Love all the window peeking and such, great concept.

It could use some polishing and additional scenes but I'm sure the dev is working hard on adding many, many more!

Good work to you, dev! Keep it up.

Pretty fun game where you either manage your funds and pay the landlord or he runs away with your friend. It's mainly focus on ntr mainly the landlord for now but it drops bread crumbs that there might be other antagonists in the future.

Personally i would love if the dev decides to add a ntrs route or mode where you would actively sabotage her. But what's there is a solid base to expand upon.

I like it cool game there should be more games like this, its seems like its very early in development but for now its very fun and can easily have so much more in the future like more people and different relationships with each person and maybe being the one who cucks someone else, im not going to tell the developer how to make their game but for now its really good

Overall a good game. It works without bugs. It has clear start to finish progression. Main content is in its NTR path. In Path where you always pay rent on time you get just few one-time scenes that you can not even re-watch later.

Its not too grindy and the main grind part is made to be not obnoxious - as in you wake up in front of PC, you can click four times and you can end the day if you just want to grind without exploring if any random event is happening. No running all over the place if you do not want to, no wasting your time for sake of wasting your time.

That said, this game clearly is not finished. There are multiple tabs on PC that shows that Dev intends to expand on the content in game.

Also large part of NTR path is about watching landlord go at it with your girlfriend, but it is always through strongly blurred window so you can not really see what is going on.
On one side I would love some in-game option to force the windows open. On other side, it would break the NTR premise where main character would have undeniable sight of his girlfriend cheating on him.
On yet another side, you can clearly hear the action through walls so its not as if it is realistic for main character to be clueless, unless he is complete airhead.

Updated for 1.12

I would give this 4.5 if I could and that's only because it feels like there's something missing but I'm not quite sure what.

It's fun, has some interesting mechanics that keep getting updated and the hidden/visible (depending on how you play it) NTR will appeal to different groups which is nice.

Dev seems to be reasonably active and has updated several times since my first review.

----

It's okay for what it is.

The love and netorare paths are mostly distinct (apparently there are some issues with starting the netorare path and then transitioning to the love path so bear that in mind).

The animations and models are fine, nothing particularly impressive but better than say, koikatsu (in my opinion).

The game itself is a little grindy (if you want netorare) and very grindy (if you want love).

There's little to no explanation of any of the systems in game.

Hopefully gets some improvement in the future.

Was very nice to play and see how the story can end up in different ways. Model design could be more "big" and even more motion on the animations. But it was very very nice to play.
Also i hope there will be more models on neighbourhood

The game is easy to complete, there is always enough money. There is no NTR, unless you start cuckolding yourself. It seems to me that there is absolutely not enough interaction during the week. It is quite boring to watch every day how the heroine sleeps, chills at the computer or looks at the black TV screen, while the landlord slowly dies of cirrhosis of the liver in his apartment. The game does not look like a challenge, you just press buttons and after 50+ days you get a happy ending.

It can be improved of course, but I really like the gameplay and visuals. It's very different from other NTR games. Maybe with the money, we can install hidden cameras and watch everything from there.

I think good idea would be adding extra page that you need to find, for example looking in stream comments, with her "OF" page where MC can see pixelated pictures, before you buy them, with extra scenes with and without landlord or with someone.

Really enjoyed the first person perspective for the peeping portion of the game. the game features are not yet fully fleshed out but with the current state I can only say I am excited and looking forward to what all can be added.

Game concept is good, however going through the game the lead up is a bit slow with not much to show for it or reference whats happening. the animation for the scenes is okay, and the art is for characters i thought was good. would have liked to see some more variation for whats the scenes. Honestly felt like this game didnt need to be a fps style of game and could have been a rpgm/wolf or something since a lot isnt necessarily happening. or if i could have had a sprint button that could have helped. The setting option didnt work, just remembered that so i dont know whats in there. overall pretty good worth looking at, and i hope the dev continues to make more games.

About [v1.02]
No, it's not completed.

I played it for a few hours, but it made me quit via alt+f4, so sorry, I can't give you a full review, but I still consider this a fair one. I really wish to come back to this game and play it when it is REALLY finished

Pros:
- Decent graphics; it has it's style and lacks anti-aliasing, but hey, it's way better than some stuff I've seen.
- Management gameplay, somewhat of a tycoon game, or a streamer simulator.
- Good fem char for my taste. She has a nice model, physics, and some character.
- NTR.?... (Under every game discussion, there are NTR lovers, so I guess you'll find a disgusting old perv NTRing your girl appealing). It's avoidable, I guess, if you grind as hard as you can, but it's still there.

Cons:
- Absolute lack of any explanations and tutorials. Or I'm really stupid and couldn't find anything that would tell me why working doesn't earn you money, why stuff unlocks on its own, without notifying you, etc. The game has unique mechanics that are unobvious and aren't explained to the player.
- The game is empty. You can't talk or interact with objects, NPCs, or environment. It feels boring, to say the least.
- No settings (just no menu at all).
- No fullscreen.
- Feels like an unfinished game, while it has a 'Completed' tag. And this is a thing that I don't understand, really. I guess it's not about the game, but about the post itself, but still.

TLDR for [v1.02]:
Wait for a few versions. If the dev keeps up his pace, we'll get a gem. For now it's mediocre and unfinished.

Sorry if something is incorrect due to me leaving after a few hours, but I really think that a few hours should be enough for an opinion. If there is LOTS of stuff hidden after 4-6 hours of gameplay—well, I really tried.

I'll definitely keep my eyes on this project.

It's a game, that's pretty much it for the review.


Seriously though it fine for a first attempt. Premise and gameplay is mostly simple, manage the girls streams, make sure you have enough money each Saturday so you don't get cucked, rinse and repeat. 6 days of the weak are pretty empty and sad honestly. You hop on your computer click a few buttons to schedule a stream, pick a sponsor, work, fall asleep, repeat. Which video games that are the most popular isn't clear and is kind of annoying trying to figure out which one to stream. You have to rely on trial and error to figure it out but even then, who really knows. For me horror was the real money maker. Not sure if that will be the same for every player but, after trial and error that's what I found. The first few weeks of the game are the most difficult trying to get the hang of everything and making sure you have the money by Saturday to pay the land lord. I'm on week 8 now and honestly, getting the money now is a peace of cake. Most my video generate nearly 200 dollars a day and my sponsors give be money ranging from 300 to 900 dollars every couple of days. As long as you aren't intentionally trying to get cucked after week 4ish, you should be fine with rent each Saturday. Just keep 550 dollars on you at all times.

Game is really empty. During the day you can't interact with any characters but you can go in there houses, at night you can't even do that either. You get 2 interactions every week. Saturday you pay the rent to the landlord, Sunday you get a sex scene with the girl. That's about it, Game is empty, kind of sad, and can get boring pretty quickly. It would help a lot if you could interact with the girl more, or add more neighbors to go and visit/ fuck/ manage. Make a little empire out of it and manage a bunch of streamers. There even seems to be the capability for it. there are four other apartments in he little map you can walk around on that could be used if you wanted to go this route, it's just not implemented.

I haven't tried the NTR stuff. Maybe that has more meat on the bones. From the pictures it looks like you can watch her get fucked from the windows and such. Honestly based on how empty the game is and how few interactions you have with anyone, this might be an improvement. At least someone is interacting with someone. It's pretty dull when you have to wait for each Sunday to even say hi to anyone. Its just sad. Like I said, I'm on week 8, I'm going to try a few more weeks tonight and try to upgrade my streamer girl a bit more, see if anything happens to change or improve the overall rating. Maybe she will move in or you can interact with her more often, but as of right now, It's as empty as Pooh's honey jars.

The sex scenes are ehh. The first scene you get other than kissing is a blowjob. My characters dick didn't even show up in the scene. It was just the streamer girl sucking on thin air. After that the following weeks, sex gets a little better, but not much. I gotta give the dev props on a first attempt though. I've played much worse games but much more seasoned devs. What you really need is to add more meat and potatoes to the game. Give the player more to do so the weekdays aren't boring as fuck. Do that, and you got the makings of a decent game. 3 stars dev. Thank you for sharing. If things get better in latter gameplay, I'll edit this. Until then, this is pretty generous review. Keep practicing and working on it and I think you will have something here.

I'm urging the dev to either remake, expand this or keep going for the same style of game.
The previous reviews are all on point and considering the disclaimer of the dev, it was pretty much anticipated to have a rather bulk game.
Still, I like the concept, the female model and the overall (!) progression.
