VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Pandora's Box [v1.0] [Void Star]

It's fine. Not great, not terrible.

+ Good female models
+ Uncensored

= Writing is serviceable

- Male models are generally bad. It's understandable that most people will care more about female models but I never understand why some devs use near-objectively ugly male models even when it doesn't fit the character (a homeless or old dude for example)

-- The point system is balanced very strangely. If you don't make the female MC a completely out of control slut/prostitute then you will not have enough "corruption" to do a relatively vanilla lesbian scene. Seriously, she needs less corruption to be a drugged out glory hole prostitute than to have a lesbian experience with her best friend. Similarly, if you don't make the male MC a completely submissive cuck then you can't do a harem-type playthrough because apparently you need ever-increasing "submission" to decide to cheat on the girlfriend. It just makes no sense and feels half baked. If a system like this is going to be implemented then there needs to be several different stats (for each character) that all work completely independently from each other to determine whether or not you can do something, with crossover only when it makes sense. For example, the female could have had a corruption stat, a lesbian stat and a cuckquean stat. The male could have had a corruption stat, a submission/dominance stat and a cuckold stat. Would make for much better routes.

Pandora's Box has really good renders and animations. Not only does it have better graphics than a lot of the VN games that I've tried but it also has a great story. So far even with how good Pandora's Box is the sequel Pandora's Box 2 is even better with more characters and a bigger story. I can't wait to see how much more Void Star releases.

Tbh not sure why this game has choices...if you skip over 1 or 2 choices at the start you dont have enough corruption and submission to choose the corrupt or submissive choice for the next like 10 choices, might as well just say "you're gonna be maximum submissive and she's gonna maximum corrupt, else not much is gonna happen. Other then that the characters look good enough, the writing is decent and things are pretty much standard for these kind of cheating-corruption style games, worth a look as long as you like corruption games

Completed Version, 1.0. This is a female MC, and Male MC game. It has NTR from both perspectives i.e. that both MC/FMC cheat on the other significant other without the other knowing, and at times become aware, or catch them depending on some choices.

Cuck stuff, some, but depending on choices it can be avoided.

This is a tough one to nail down in its genre, I like cheating games, and don't want any cuck stuff, so I was OK with this one.

FMC, is cute in a non typical way. Art is really good. She gets going pretty fast as she is a pretty horny lady. Pretty easy to collect "Corruption" points and have her move along from one dick or lesbian encounter.

MC - the dude is kinda basic, no monster cock, but a pretty nice guy who makes a few mistakes and has lots of ladies that want to play around with him.

The guy MC gets "Submission" points - which really gives you cuck vibes as he starts to rack up these points, and thats where my dislike for the point system and where it seemed to be going, it put me on guard - oh crap he is gonna what someone rail his girlfriend, he is gonna like it, and get humiliated etc etc., not my thing. No not really, some of those options are in there, but easily avoidable and you really don't miss much of the content.

The male MC gets submission points for ..wait..what? Choosing to cheat on the FMC with her mom. Banging another chick, giving a creampie to another...

I would give this game another star if it simply renamed the "Submission" points to "Corruption" points for the boyfriend, because that is what they are. He is corrupted into cheating on his girlfriend, and he does so frequently. Some of the endings have him happily married to another LI and her having his baby, and ex-girlfriend is off somewhere getting gangbanged.

The FMC is kinda messed up and has some crackers loose. Because some of this doesn't even follow porn logic and gets frustrating to the player because there is no acknowledgment by the FMC that "OK, this makes no sense, but I am a twisted evil bitch and I want it to make sense in my brain, so here it goes."


The Dev is obviously pushing the player towards the boyfriend getting cucked, but provide paths out, and boyfriend is getting lucky everywhere else.

I played for about 4 different endings, left rather confused. Got a report at the end of one ending that seemed like it was the "true" ending to port over to Part 2 which is out already.

Game would have been much better if Submission points were just called Corruption points, drop the push towards cuck (its a minor part) and focus on the cheating, and perhaps getting caught. (Which happens to the BF, not to the Girlfriend).

In my opinion this game is quite good.
The characters are bit generic and not the most sexiest design, but the story and plot is quite interesting. Renders and CGs are really high quality and you can immerse in the game, as well as explore a lot of fetishes and kinks as the game story develops.

Slow corruption is where the game shines, as there is plenty of content and progression in the game. The MC does not jump straight away into ridiculous things, but rather slowly builds up to them. With every decision you make the character will slowly convert into doing more and feeling that is normal.

Animations are poor quality and makes you stuck to see repetitive action for a bit, till you can progress through the story. Each decision can also unlock different scene, so there is quite a bit to explore.

Overall enjoyed this game, as it felt as an actually story being told and slowly progressing through the game, which had good endings defined as well, compared to a lot of games this definitely deserves a good rating with small quality fixes it could be excellent game.

Interesting story that deserves 5 stars but the Nadia character is so toxic a character it put me off. Eugene is a likeable character, his heart is in the right place, he just makes poor decisions. The endings are great as well as the art work.

Pandora's Box [v1.0]

Pros:
Decent Render Quality


Cons:
Animations suck and I hate the skip animation button.
Cringy Story that doesn´t make sense
Male MC sucks
Choices are forced and don´t matter
You can miss a lot of content
Stats are terrible

Conclusion:
I´m not a NTR fan, but could live with it, if the story made sense, and was well written, which this one is not.
It´s like a Teenager watched too much cuckporn and put all the worst porn logic garbage in to one game, doesn´t matter if it makes sense or not.
I do like games that have elements of corruption and blackmail in them.
But the story gets ruined by the male MC, who lacks any backbone and behaves like a total cuck bitch and makes the game incredibly cringy and pretty much unplayable, because the game forces you to play from his perspective.
Not only that but when you find few scenes that could be good, they´re ruined by terrible animations.
I would give this game -1* if it was possible, because there´s nothing enjoyable to this game and it´s just a waste of time and the story gives you a massive headache.

Very good story and graphiques, huges amount of content, game play very basic choice matter but they are a bit of straight forward. overall, i still think it's an excellent game.
You can go for it.

As someone who has a penchant for leaving bad reviews, I'm a bit perplexed why this one has a bunch of them and doesn't have a score >4. My guess is it's just people who don't like NTR/sub-femdom/cuck content because if you like any of those genres, the game is great and deserves a higher score. Only real complaint is the girlfriend model is a copy of the punker girl from other well-known games but it didn't end up bothering me really. The writing is good, the plotline is engaging if a bit predictable, the corruption / submissive point system is great as is the switching between first person characters. Nice work, dev.

Decent game, but my chief complaint someone beat me to a few reviews down - in order to increase your stats you need to make choices which wouldn't neccesarily reflect your desires but are required for those bonuses.

In plain english this means I'm fine with sharing my girlfriend with a buddy, but have zero interest in watching her be degraded by some homeless guy.

Art quality is fairly good, and while I wasn't initially attracted to the gf, it grew over time as I appreciate the more unique look and personalized touches instead of being just another forgetful LI in hundreds of games

Animations are hit or miss. Some are great, but then have odd camera angles, some are quite poor, then others are decent, there isnt much consistency.

The end story went of the rails for a day or two, I had no idea (or maybe just wasnt sufficiently engaged by the writing to care) why there were mercenaries in the middle east and blah blah - anyways, early story was good and cohesive, later was not.

What is there to say about this Game?
The Female Main Protagonist looks pretty nice, just like some other female antagonist. The Story doesn't make much sense but has some good moments, but the Male Protagonist is such an annoying bitch cuck who doesn't add anything to the Story. The Story has too many Cuck elements that ruin the Game, and there are too many footjob and Handjob Scenes that are just incredibly boring. It's all such a shame because the Game has potential, but the problems are way too big. If it had been one or two female Main Protagonist it would have been a decent Game, but this is just bad.

well this game starts pretty strong with a decent amount of choices.
even if i dont like this hardcore cuckolding and blackmailing, that much, you can somewhat life with the choices.
but at the later game the dev seems to ran out of ideas and railroaded the storyline and messed up the female route.

for me was this game sadly (!) a waste of time
and i guess the second part will not have a better quality - which is the biggest bummer.

I think this game is pretty bad. Female mc is really ugly in my opinion and has this stupid haircut. Sex scenes are pretty boring and animations are horrible
Plot is similar to many other games where there is horny girl and her loser boyfriend. But somehow even cheating and situations girl gets into are boring. Choices are strange where you pick if you want or don't want to get stats which will open extra scenes

I love the art style, art is amazing while story is totally bullshit. The guy is a loser while his girl friend is totally a whore who will fuck everyone she meets. This game should have more choices to choose what you want and what you don't want.

Art is decent, storyline is dull.
The main issue I have is there is no new choice between fuck everything possible, (including random homeless people) to get enough points to see other scenes. If you don't do every Sexual choice you wont have enough points for later scenes. Means you don't really have a choice at all.

Was alright. But a couple things I disliked:
- Story was a fuckfest. One thing after the other, prison comes out of nowhere, main character seems to have a hard on for being out of the law.
- Little direction to the cucking. You can't choose to have it, or you can't choose to not have it. There's a funny little system in place called 'corruption', which although sound in theory (I guess attempting to be realistic), blocks out being lesbian if you don't want to fuck cock at the same time. I found myself thoroughly disappointed not being able to grope the last male character scene because of such things.
- Only good characters are Wendy and Lilly. Main girl can go abstain for the next twenty years for all I care. She lacks resolve, character, you name it, she lacks it. Wendy knows what she wants, Lilly does to. The main girl is bound by weird idiosyncracies like the corruption system but doesn't seem to mind fucking people regardless at points in the story.
- Lack of sounds. Boring to the ears.

I don't understand why this VN is rated so low. I loved it. Little dissapointed with the sequal, but this one was 5 stars easy! Great story, great choices and multiple endings! Albeit I am a corruption addict. Best games have those choice endings that can and or could end badley. This VN is one of those. Highly recomended.

Jesus, I think I managed an hour of this game before I couldn't stomach anymore. I get it's aimed at the cuck/ntr crowd but how any guy can enjoy seeing this male MC become such a sniveling, idiotic, footwipe for his complete bitch girlfriend. I would have strangled the bitch, then kicked her still cooling corpse out the apartment

Renders are great though, hence I give 2 stars. The story starts like they are a nice couple and before long the bf MC makes one mistake with a girl giving him a bj and his gf says she can screw anyone...yet she is banging guys left, right and centre.

When the gf tells him she will bang anyone and he can't, and the bf prostrates himself at her feet, begging...I just quit the game for good.
Ugh, femdom and cucking is not my kink at all.

Folk into this stuff will no doubt love it but yeah, hard pass from me.

Game with choices who will impact the story, not enough though (which is the only real flaw in my opinion). The graphismes are great and I really like the chara designs especially for the main female protagonist which is for me a curcial point. BUT this game is not for you if you don't like stuff like Femdom, Ntr Cuckold and so on, since it's not avoidable

Version Played: 1.0

First things first, I fucking hate this female protagonist model with the stupid fucking haircut. *ahem* Now that my old man moment is over, this game is very good.
One thing that really makes it stand out from other NTR games is that the boyfriend is an idiot and you can really play it to make him deserve what he gets.
He also has the option to bang some chicks on the side (including Dave Thomas' daughter!), so he can also be far from innocent.
I think what I like about this game is that the MC's ineptitude really sells you on why his GF decides to cheat.
I don't think it's going to change an NTR hater's mind, but it's a cool setup.

Positives:
+ Interesting premise and (generally) believable character interactions
+ Several girls, all of whom are hot with some sexy scenes
+ No grind and complete!

Negatives:
- MC can be a little too clueless with no backbone

I should also mention, the end of the game turns into a hollywood blockbuster in terms of story presentation and idea.
It's kind of out of left field, but it ends up working well and definitely sets up what comes next.
Very recommended even if you're on the fence for NTR content.

Like this? Try!: Watching My Wife (the relationship setup there is very believable as well), The Adventurous Couple (Good setup up, but same dumb female protag model)
Note to devs: Nice work!
