VN - Unity - Phone Behind Bars [v0.7] [PBBGames]

This game has performed remarkably well in many aspects. Some of the low-star reviews weren’t fair, but you know what? It doesn’t even matter. What truly matters is Patreon, where mature supporters have genuinely backed the developer. I truly appreciate them
I think this is the first (or maybe the second) mobile-centric game with a serious story and a meaningful relationship. Most others are highly clichéd, featuring a one-dimensional MC and FMC who spend all their time teasing each other. They fail to realize that teasing only works when the story and relationships are deep and meaningful—it shouldn't be the sole purpose of their existence!

• Story: Engaging, serious, and creative
  FMC and MC Personalities: Mature, rich, grounded in principles and values, and most importantly, we’re dealing with an elegant lady, not an easy girl
• Relationships: Excellent—very natural and deep
• Art: Completely satisfying. There’s room for improvement, but it’s already very good
• Writing: Like the story and personalities, the writing is serious and mature. It avoids one-dimensional, clichéd, and dull approaches—every line of dialogue is captivating and purposeful
• Atmosphere: The MC’s circumstances, family, and the story itself create a fantastic vibe and atmosphere that’s easy to immerse yourself in
• And more!

This game is highly recommended to anyone seeking a mature and thrilling and memorable experience

Just terrible,ai images are ok , the story is cool but the execution of it is just crap 0 influence 0 branching all "choices" are non consequential and so poorly made that every choice feels like an insult to the readers intelligence.
four chapters barely moved the story along and on top of that no skipping of dialog or any way to have it show faster. I would give it 2.5 stars.

This has very good promise from the getgo. 0.2 has just been released when I am writing this.

The pictures look amazing, I dont think anyone will have any complaints there.
The writing could be better, and there could be some more choices for the player. The player sometimes HAS to come off as a little whiny, and that's not my thing at all.
The wife talk is good, the lawyer talk could be a bit better as that's where the MC usually end up being a bit whiny and passive aggressive.
I'm supporting this on Patreon for now to see where it goes, but if it dosent improve in the next few updates, or if the updates arent coming fast, I'll probably stop patreoning for a while and then check back in later.

There are a few things that should be fixed before the next release. There should be the option to go "full screen" with the game, not just a cellphone layout on your desktop.
You should be able to chose your name, at least it shouldnt be "Mr Player".
You should be able to either roll back parts of the convo or chose chapter so that you can get all the pictures.

I just had to share my experience with Phone Behind Bars! The art style is absolutely awesome—it's visually stunning and really adds to the overall vibe of the game. The story is also super interesting, keeps me hooked.

I played patreon version with Emma storyline, and it was definitely worth it! I loved it so much that I ended up replaying the game two times Each playthrough revealed new details and made me appreciate the story even more. If you're looking for a unique game with great visuals and a compelling narrative, I highly recommend giving Phone Behind Bars a try!

I just started playing Phone Behind Bars, and I’ve got to say, it’s pretty intriguing! This phone and texting simulation game pulls you right into a gripping story told entirely through text messages
So far, the plot is all about this character who gets wrongfully imprisoned. Right from the get-go, you feel the pressure as they try to clear their name. The conversations are really relatable, and I’m already invested in how they’ll navigate all the challenges ahead.

The art style is cool, too—minimalist but effective. It fits the whole texting vibe perfectly, and you can really get a sense of each character’s personality just from their messages, which is nice.

But, I did run into a couple of bumps. First off, there’s no Android version available, which is a bit of a letdown for those of us who like to game on our phones. Plus, it looks like you can’t change character names, which kinda limits how personal you can make the experience as you dive deeper into the story.

Overall, I’m excited to see where this journey takes me! The mix of an interesting story and cool art has me hooked, but I hope the gameplay stays just as engaging despite these little hiccups. I’ll keep you posted as I play more of Phone Behind Bars!

Beware, most of the tags are currenlty just placeholder. You will not see any netorare here.

The game starts pretty good first but gets boring and unrealistic after a short time. You text a girl, tell them you are this and that a they believe you. No proofs or anything, "Im your husband, send me nudes" ... sure here -.-

Also, as I told already, there are currently not a single scene here. Its just the plot where you talk with your wife, daughter and her friend.

Summary:
+ there seems to be a story
- really provocative friend of the daughter
- no content
- 0815 ai cgs you find in the www
- paywall
- they all name me Mr. Player
- No fullscreen mode or way to adjust the window. You have to play on 540x960 to play on 1920x1080 widescreen
+/- the wife looks too young, means the daughter which already looks very young is way below a teen

*+ = positive | - = negative

ps.: Currently its nothing special. Like all phone games you find everywhere. Lets see how it evolves in the future.

The game has an interesting concept with a detective storyline, which feels like something fresh in the NTR phone genre

The characters are appealing (in my opinion)
On the downside, as many have noted in the comments, the gameplay is a bit slow (text typing speed)

I enjoyed playing it and look forward to seeing how the project develops - good luck!
