VN - Ren'Py - Our Netorase Story [v0.2.0] [VeroSin]

Version 0.2 (but short enough to be 0.1 at best)

I'm a big fan of NTS/NTR of almost any flavor. I'm very forgiving when it comes to art especially in favor of the story. The problem is that none of these characters have an ounce of personality. I backtracked a few choices and they all felt the same too. This "game" feels more like it's trying to speedrun through as many fetishes as possible without much care for the narrative.

I'd give this 1 1/2 stars if I could. I only finished a few minutes ago and I barely remember any of the characters to name them. The extra half star for having choices and some semblance and the hint of some character development at the end of this version. But I bet by 0.3 she'll be slutified with six new characters that I won't remember.

Hard pass unless you're here for a scene clicker and if so, there are way better choices out there.

Review of version 0.2.0

On the surface this feels like a fairly ambitious game with several paths and choices to tailor the NTS to your liking. This is a neat idea but the execution is lacking.

Firstly, let's talk about the art. The character sprites are fine, there's a lack of detail to them but they feel sort of stylised and honestly I can see past poor or rough art when the writing is there (it's not but more on that later). The CGs are where the art is properly let down and it strikes me as someone that has only just started getting to grips with the basics of AI generation. If this had been hand drawn I'd forgive the janky art and see it as charming, knowing it's AI however puts it under harsher scrutiny. The art is lazy and rushed, I do appreciate there's been a slight effort to keep it a certain style but it looks poor and the erotism comes from the situation rather than the art itself. Fortunately though if the dev is willing to, this is something that can be fixed as their knowledge of generating art improves.

Lets talk about the writing. I think to a certain degree, fans of NTS have come to expect a slow burn narrative. This trend ties in with how you want to model and market a game that you're putting on Patreon. You want to build anticipation and hype for the moment that the FMC finally crosses the line and the juicy stuff starts. This method is tried and tested but it is not the only way to make a game and tell a story. I'm okay with things happening right off the bat, but I do worry that a group sex scene in the opening does leave you in an awkward place of "where do we go from here?", you don't really have anything to build up to and that might make the game feel a little repetitive. With that said, even if we are getting spicy scenes from the offset, the writing needs to be good, especially if the visuals are lacking. I dig that Jenny is a total slut from the word go but without reason, rational or even that slutty behaviour being vocalised in the dialogue, it's kind of wasted. All characters are very two dimensional, and I don't really buy the couples relationship nor do I really like them as individuals. NTS and NTR hit best when there are stakes and relationships that your audience cares about. If you don't understand that, I worry that you don't understand the kink.

I also want to talk about the sound assets in the game. I could be wrong but it sounds like the dev has just pulled in real world sex sounds from porn videos. It's a little jarring at times and the loops are quite obvious. It's another factor that just makes it feel lazy.

Overall, I think the dev could have a good game on their hands if they are willing to put the work in where it needs to go. If nothing else, an overhaul on the art and I could see myself giving this game three stars. For now what I've seen is to poor for anything higher. 2 stars.

The game starts with the girlfriend having sex with her female friend, who then invites a guy, who brings two more and it turns into a gangbang right from the beginning (yes, 1 minute into the game, three guys are already fucking the girlfriend).

The boyfriend sees a blonde woman at the airport and has sex with her...


Then they meet up, and you have the option to lie and go down the cheating/humiliation/cuck route, or call her a slut and move on — all this happens within 3 minutes of gameplay.


They go to his apartment, and while going up in the elevator, another man joins them. He gropes the girlfriend’s ass, and you get the option to either go home or make up an excuse to go back and let the guy from the elevator fuck you — while your boyfriend was right there?? WTF??


Then they go to the girlfriend’s friend's house and the boyfriend fucks her friend… and that’s the end of the game.


There’s no story, no plot, no character motivation — just sex for the sake of sex, and nothing else.

technically awful, the drawings are disproportionate, and it's also an animal thing for something created with AI, the characters are soulless, a porn without character, it's a disappointment, ridiculous audio, the plot is funny, maybe for its comedy it deserves a little attention, but nothing else.

This game is so good. Only bad side its too short. I know It takes lots of times so wont judge though. Gave 5 stars looking for more&fast updates!! great group sex scenes. I hope for more. I also wish that this game gets long

Still short but very enjoyable game, the rough aicg is the weakest thing about it. Its nice to see characters who have sex purely for their enjoyment, and not treat it like clocking in a job to fulfill a sex quota.

Man, this is not [0.1], it's more like [0.001] version.

BUT.

It has(WILL have, because it doesn't rn) one of the rarest normal fetishes on the internet - girl being cheated on, cuckquean. Plus female on female femdom is great as well. All of this pretty much obliges me to give it a higher score... You know, for potential, because how else would you rate such an early version? Then again, it's likely to never be finished, if dev thinks putting out a game like this is big enough of a deal for starting a Patreon page.

But alright, i'm gonna believe it's gonna be just fine. Don't drop the rarity, dev!

Review for v0.1

- Art is good, not an eyesore for AI based game.
- BGM is a nice touch, but the SFX is a little bit too rowdy in some scene.
- Pacing is a little bit too fast. Can be countered with making a lot of sex scenes.
- Dialogue is not that descriptive unlike other VNs, but I personally prefer it this way.

Overall a good pilot with lots of potential in NTS/Swinging focused story.
