I like the mystery element and buildup too, but I'd just rather get the porn at the climax of this, instead of having to run out and kill 10 blue slimes before I can rent the DVD.it depends on the way it is done, generally watching scenes in the recollection room indicates that the game should use elements of voyeurism for it to be interesting. but most of the time most RPG makers just have you see the character comming out of the door and say "sorry i am in a hurry" instead of adding voyeuristic value like:
all of these "clues" encourage you to paint a picture in your head then go to the gallery to unlock it. but as I said most of the time it is just your character knocking on the door and the other character saying " I... I am fine, come back later!" then you go to the recollection room and you find out that your girl was playing through flames and fire with the antagonist dick and somehow kept perfect hair and cleanliness. and then you realize that the dev has no interest in investing time in creating artwork and triggers for said things.
- mysterious sounds.
- sweaty body.
- erect nipples.
- rushed lies.
- wobbly walking.
- disheveled clothes.
a great example is the game I recently played labyrinth of servitude and liberation. unlocking scenes involved a short conversation, with the girl having a sweaty avatar but the clues were just put there for the sake of it. in a way it was as if the dev was copying what others had done without thinking what made the others good. for example in the initial scenes the character comments on a clue about the usage of "vials" that are supposed to be cum vials the character drinks but this never gets depicted in the game. just described as text, and future events still show the vials as clues despite the vials never being used again in subsequent scenes.
these kind of voyeuristic NTR should be treated like a murder game. your character is the detective trying to solve the case of the "sex"
The sex scenes are usually the weakest part of most of your typical handdrawn RPGM NTR games as well, imo, with the usual static image of some sex position with some text and then the same image with a cumshot. I feel this part is even weaker when its partioned into its own in the recollection room. Might as well watch some better porn and pretend its NTR instead at that point.
I just played Labyrinth of Servitude myself and its very much got these problems. Great prologue but the rest of the game was a bit disappointing.
A game I just played that I feel did it better is https://f95zone.to/threads/being-an-adventurer-is-not-always-the-best-update-2-dynamo.131193/ since you either see the actions taking place as the MC, or you travel around in a ghost mode where you see the action happening in real time. That game is barely a prologue at this stage and very buggy though.
