As promised, here is my writeup of
今、彼女は…… ~リアルタイムNTR物語~
First of all, don’t let my review dissuade you from trying this game.
I thought the girl and scenes were hot despite the flaws, so you should play and make a judgment yourself.
H-scenes were decent, voice acting is always nice.
But the story and NTR mechanics? Oh man.
This game would have been better as a linear visual novel, because that’s pretty much what it is.
I’ll just let the videos explain for themselves.
Exhibit 1:

The game lets you control and swap perspectives between MC and FMC, giving you the illusion of agency and interaction.
And that’s it. Just a facade. You don’t actually control or influence anything in the end.
Here is one spot the heroine gets H'ed in. If you try to be proactive and hide in preparation for them, the game force-kicks you out of the H-spot with bullshit-no-jitsu monolog from the MC.
Now, if you return to the spot, MC gets talk-no-jitsu'ed out of investigating.
And MC… just accepts the bully’s lame excuses. That’s it.
Further attempts will have the MC reasoning there’s nothing else to do, and you can’t re-enter the bathroom anymore.
Exhibit 2:
You must be registered to see the links
Something is clearly wrong with your GF. But there’s nothing you can do.
You can’t enter through the windows, you can’t convince your girl to let you inside, the only thing you can do is wait for her to finish her H-scene and then let you in.
Almost every scene in the game is like this.
Even if you know the exact time and location the H is going to happen, and attempt to hide in that spot, MC will talk-no-jitsu his way out of the spot, right before FMC + bastard do the deed.
It’s frustrating, but not the good NTR kind. It’s more like, why give players the freedom of an RPG world but then limit anything they can actually do? If it was a linear visual novel, the script would have been much improved, and the player wouldn’t be frustrated with all these invisible walls everywhere.
It being on RPG Maker also means… RPG Maker jank. Skip function is horrid and stops working every time there’s a new "event." Given how RPG Maker is coded, this means you will constantly have to press the skip button every few seconds. This makes replaying a chore.
Not only that, but the dev made many animations and transitions unskippable. You have to let them play in their entirety with
no way to speed them up, even if you hold down Z or Enter (the default speed up key for RPG Maker).
So the game pretty much plays like a VN, and even looks like one, but it’s missing basic VN functions like a real skip, voice replay, message log, even the ability to save/load during dialog. It’s just not fun to play or read.
Also, I am livid at how the girl constantly blames herself for the situation. She has zero self-respect.
Your boyfriend is the one who spread your nudes.
It is not your job to clean up house, it is his alone. He’s the one who’s committed a crime.
And yet, FMC constantly feels the need to bullshit-no-jitsu her way into more compromising situations. Ugh.
The NTR feeling was weak because of how
awful and oblivious MC is. Probably one of the few NTR where I want FMC to ditch his ass. You can’t trust this
dumb shit protag with making a sandwich, let alone kids with his ineptitude.
Anyway, hot H-scenes, cute girl, hateable ugly bastard. It’s worth watching the scenes for that.
Just pretend the plot and roleplay elements don’t exist.
