RPGM - Completed - NTR ~ Clumsy Man [v1.07] [Not True Right]

Quite the mixed bag:

Pros: Story, art, and routes are all decent. It's a nice demo of how the RPGM engine can be used in a bit more versatile manner. A fair amount of different scenes and corruption progression is alright.

Cons: So. Damn. Grindy. And. Clunky. I appreciate the dev trying to be creative with the RPGM engine, but man does this need polishing as it feels so unresponsive and finicky. Not to mention very poorly explained instructions and effects. A lot of things you just need to sorta work out on your own. Most annoying of all, the recollection map/gallery doesn't seem to contain all scenes as I don't think things like the phone and map scenes are included, only the event scenes.

Overall, a rather tedious experience but probably worth checking out if the art or story seems to appeal to you.

Why is the game called *NTR Clumsy Man*? I have no clue. MC's not clumsy so much as he's being cucked. We actually begin the game with a cutscene of some sort but I didn't think about it again after it ended. It was all so confusing. The best I can make of the story is that you and Rose are essentially social workers living in the same building. Roommates maybe? I don't know. It's not clear. But you and Rose go out every morning and do various forms of community service. The community service is the primary vector for you to be cucked along with your co-worker(???) Lee.

The actual gameplay is primarily based on a kind of board game. You go around to the various spaces while trying to ward Lee away from your eventual girlfriend. You do so through the use of cards which you have to buy or are given as gifts for completing community service (sometimes). The gameplay loop is thus clicking through the board game waiting to get to the end-of-the-day phase, but enough about the mechanics/story.

The primary thing people have an issue with is the RNG. You are playing on a board game and it essentially *is* a board game. You move by rolling dice. This means that some things become a bit tedious and tasks that you want to complete won't necessarily be completed, meaning you have to go to the next day. This makes actually playing the game a bit of a slog. This isn't *necessarily* a bad thing though. The slowness of the game and the way Rose's meters build up mean you'll be waiting, a while, and while the NTR doesn't necessarily feel natural, it's not sprung on you from the opening round. You have to get there (or avoid it, maybe). So in that regard, I learned to appreciate the RNG. At the very least, it's different from most other games I've played.

*However*, the worst thing about this game is also the RNG. The game is designed with a gallery you can unlock with a code, probably somewhere in the thread, but you *can't* unlock the animated scenes in the gallery. Those you have to unlock on the board itself. And this can be frustrating. I'll give you an example. I wanted to rewatch an animated scene on the board that required all of the characters to be on the same spot on the board. And not just the same spot, but a spot that wasn't also a spot for the other NTR scenarios. Okay, there are card mechanics designed to facilitate this. I can use the 'Gathering' card and bring all of the characters to my spot on the board. But I shouldn't just do that anywhere, I should do that on a corner spot because you *have* to roll after using a card. Okay, I'm on the corner spot, I used the Gathering card, now I need to roll an even number. If I don't roll an even number, I'll necessarily be one-spot off and have to use another card, and so on and so forth.

This is not a fun experience and makes me wish the short animations had just been included in the gallery. But they weren't. The best you can do here, and this is a little tip, is make saves while you're 'Wandering Around' before the animations show. This allows you to get the variations without having to go through the process over and over a few times. Another thing that's annoying is the bugs. You will encounter pretty frequent bugs. Your player will be stuck hovering over the board, the round number will disappear, the game will skip your turn for no discernible reason- all of this will happen, but I didn't encounter anything gamebreaking.

So that's maybe already too much about the game, but I'll quickly end with I really did enjoy this game a lot despite its cons (frequent and annoying as they are). The art is great, and while I don't really understand the story in any kind of way the author probably intended, I did have a lot of fun with it.

This is a board game that incorporates elements of mini-games. While the concept is interesting, the implementation leaves much to be desired. There is some training in the game, but the instructions are presented in an inconvenient and difficult-to-understand manner. You have to figure out the rules as you play, which adds to the frustration.
There is also a plot in the game, although it is presented in a schematic and superficial way. The story starts with the main character fleeing from home after a conflict with his mother. After his father's death, she started a new relationship. Once on the streets, he encounters difficulties until he meets Rose, who works at a center that helps people in difficult situations. However, the progression of the plot and the development of relationships between the characters are poorly presented. There are practically no scenes where the relationship between the characters is revealed.
I didn't play it to the end, because the plot didn't arouse any interest. This is not a story where you want to empathize with the hero or follow his suffering. What is happening is so annoying that at some point it just doesn't matter.
The graphics and interface are also not encouraging. They are confusing and inconvenient, and give the impression that the game has not been thoroughly tested. The art style in the scenes may be appealing to some, but overall, it's average and doesn't stand out.
As a result, the game left me with a sense of wasted time. Despite the interesting concept, the poor execution let it down.

PROS:
- Pretty good art and H-scenes.
- There are some route alternatives.

CONS:
- There's no background story with the girl. The intro tells you basically nothing, so the NTR aspect ends being way less impactful.
- The gameplay is very bad. Most mechanics are RNG-based, repetitive and also difficult to figure out!

Sadly, the gameplay issues outweighs the H-scenes, imho.

Rating: 5/10

This game is good but requires the player to do their part. The game is not meant to be played in a hurry, you have to play it calmly, enjoying the details and understanding what is happening. The problem is that it is not very well explained and many times the player does not know what to do.

PROS:

• The art is good, hand-made.
• It has pixel art and also scenes during the events.
• The translation is done by a fan.
• There is a happy ending route, a netorase route and two netorare routes.
• The side missions, although optional, are very worthwhile.
• The erotic scenes are good for NTR lovers.
• The board game is fun and allows you to discover NTR events with pixel art.
• The NTR events are very erotic.

CONS:

• It definitely needs a guide to understand how to play, because some mechanics are difficult to understand.
• It has some bugs, but it can be played well. Could it be that the translation breaks some script? I don't know, the only way to know would be to play the original in Japanese.
• In some parts the game is not very responsive to the keyboard.
• At certain times the NTR is not well justified and that can be confusing.

Thanks for sharing this game.

This game is fun to play. Although it has many bugs, it is still playable.

The story is not great (the game doesn’t make much sense), but the art is good, so it's acceptable.

It's fun to play as a cock blocker, even though it’s really hard in this game. The concept is enjoyable, and I hope other developers will create more games like this.

The game can indeed be a bit annoying, as some others have said, but you get used to it. My personal recommendation would be that if you don't care much for the gameplay, just cheat in the "card" items, these are kinda like the ones in Mario party haha, you can use triple or double dies and also teleport the others around.

Don't miss out on the quests, i didn't care for them until way later and i realized i was missing out on the best content of the game XD, pay attention to what they ask you for on the phone.

Overall, if you cheat it's a quick and easy game, with very nice scenes.

I don't know if they are bugs but; sometimes the dice don't roll and when you meet Rose you can't go to the other door. The story is good but it's a bit heavy and limited by the missions, but I like it

Even if this would be a 5 star game, the board game bullshit would make this a 3 instantly, but it isn't even that. Not only is the board game absolutely rng garbage and made to waste your time, there are other mechanics that do the same thing like whether or not you can invite her for sex or getting a call from Lee (so you have to save scum).

The scenes are not really worth it as well as after all this bullshit its the most basic shit you have scene a thousand times with this progression.

"uhh, that's it?" my only thought after 4 hours just before the ending.
The gameplay consists of a board game which's hardly controllable. Besides that you have some mini games leading to a potential ntr scene.
Those events are the highlight, but are still a let down. Nice ideas but they feel heavily unfinished

This game is surprisingly good, though the board game gets stale after a while. There is real strategy to it. You CAN stop the baddie from cucking your girlfriend. Though it cheats, NTR is avoidable and there IS strategy involved.

My gripe with the game is the scenes for the main baddie is bad. You can see them for yourself. The main girl doesn't have a lot of character although the character design is top notch. Main girl just gets drunk over and over again for no reason and hangs out with the baddie for no explanation. It's cheap. I want to see a real reasonable reason to why I would lose her. Not some stupid Japanese plot where you HAVE to go drinking with this Lee piece of shit with your waifu after work.

Good concept, horrible execution

Pros:
-The FMC is sweet. She seems caring and shows resistance to the NTR
-You get cucked in "secret" but you can walk in on them
-The pixel art is nice

Cons:
-MC is typical shrimpdick premature ejac, NTR guy is big cock dude. FMC is never satisfied by you, takes a bit away from it all
-The main game is an RNG boardgame with no real punishment.
-Everything feels sluggish. Moving, the animations, the text, etc.
-On top of that, a lot of the game's NTR stuff doesn't kick in until you enter a relationship with FMC...and that takes a bit.
-The gallery room is horrendous. You can't preview anything, just click and pray.

TLDR: Check it out for a bit, but don't play more than 30 minutes. Payoff isn't worth it.

This is an excellent game. Has some issues but overall they don't detract too much from the quality. Art is pretty good. Gameplay is simple to understand aside from a couple of elements. Could use a walkthrough to explain some stuff like how to complete the missions Rose gives in the morning or how to know who will call at night. Honestly this is a game I wish will get DLC, expansion or a sequel cause it is that good.
