VN - Ren'Py - Phone Story [v0.6] [Taptus]

Not gonna lie - I generally dislike slow paced games but this thing stands out of them. Things evolve giving me more and more naughty situations that the wife falls into without being too sudden or denied by her for no reason (like many other games have).

I would definitely love for it to get more smutty in the later updates, but as it is now, it keeps me on edge and blood pumping. Lack of needing to go back and forth between apps and screens as on other phone NTR games makes this really smooth to play (tho obviously less interactive if someone is looking for that).

9/10, would rate 4,5 stars if I could. Dev is doing a bang up job, only things I dislike is coming from my specific distaste, and even so this doesn't make me hate the game as I would others. F for the leak, since game is free anyway.

As of latest Update 08 March 2025- Game really does well in the NTR aspect. Though its good as NTRS you will find many like it in this site.

It really excels the NTR. The game loves to give control to the MC on how the story turns while knowing when to take away that control. It knows exactly what you want and it delivers. You will not see many devs who are in this much sync over how the player wants to play it

In a sea of similar games, Phone Story manages to standout for it's good pacing, art and story paths. I was pleasantly surprised by how polished it was and the fact that it didn't feel like it was being filled with filler to pump up the updates for patreon money.

Honestly this is one of the best ntr / text based games. The dialogue is excellent. The story is erotic. Photos are excellent. All in all, great game . So hot. Best wishes to the developer who deserves our support.

One of the best ntr\nts game. High-quality images, good plot, regular updates . The plot doesn't stand still, but it doesn't rush either. Events happen "naturally". I recommend it to all connoisseurs of the genre

Average for the genre so far. It's AI so it all looks the same. At least the wife is more realistic as these ai generated models go. Otherwise, it is what you'd expect, complete with the typical BBC "friend." It suggests, perhaps, a sharing aspect at a later date. Overall, it is a resounding "ok."

Awesome game great art I feel like the story is well written I hope we can get some animation in this game but if not that's ok to so keep up the great work dev I will be looking forward to the next update!

Pros:

Art is very good. I wouldn't say it's top notch but still the best part of this game.

Neutral:

UI runs pretty clean. What it does, it does well. But it lacks a lot of features found in other phone games. You have texts and stats, that's about it. The gallery is only accessible through the main menu.

Cons:

The story. As other said the MC's personality is very janky at time. At one point he's talking about how his friend his shady af then a little later he's all but asking his friend to keep an eye on her. That's just one example.

The MC himself is hard to like at times too. He's bitching about his wife wanting to get the faucets replaced and how much he looks forward to his trip to get away form these "boring" responisbilities. Then again in the story's jank once he's on his trip he's talking about how awesome his wife is.

The MC's wife friend is borderline manipulative, which is fine, but the MC is all over the place with her too. Part of my problem with the game might be that I'm trying the love route (for a change) but it's pushing the NTS/NTR so hard that it feels like the author doesn't really want to allow it.

The overall story itself is an overused trope. Husband who has to go away for a long time leaving a wife with libido issues behind. She has the girl friend who all but aggressively leads her down the path of sleeping with other men. And there's the black "best" friend left behind to help her out which unsurprisingly includes nights out to the bars. Can someone come up with something new for a change, please?

Overall, I don't hate the game, and I'll still play it. If you're looking for a game like this and are pretty forgiving with the story, you might like it too.

Images are hot and story pacing is good. Which is not too fast and has good approach to teasing. A big step up from v0. 1 to 0.5 in terms of quality and game design. Author freqently posts news updates, which is good indication, that he's passioned about his project and listens to audience. Will follow him till project is completed.

version 0.4

what ruined for me the game was the lack of cohesiveness of the MC's writing. I'm not sure if this is because a translation problem or narrative design miss, but the MC's inconsistency of the thoughts bubbles from one to another to the overall dialogue is pretty jarring and immersion breaking.
but other than that, the dialogue overall is reasonable when the MC doesn't talk too much lol.
The art is ok, its an AI art, so compared to all AI art, the quality is not over the top but the same as most.

There's a ton of such phone games right now, but this is one of those well made with quite good plot. Sure - it sometimes could be less naive, but overall you can feel the connection with characters. They are not completely stupid, and that's one of the most important things for me. Art is quite consistent and pleasurable to the eye, so 5/5 from me Keep up the good job and don't make too much branches, cuz I don't want to see another "Abandoned" flag in a promising game

Lately, I've been playing a lot of phone simulation games, but I leave reviews for very few of them. This is one of those few. I really liked how the story progresses slowly and solidly. Even though I didn't quite like the characters, I enjoyed the game overall. It features a story where there’s no corruption by the second message, and you progress at a logical and ideal pace. It's one of the rare messaging games I'm looking forward to continuing.

One of my favorite game :3 The character designs are absolutely stunning, and you can tell a lot of effort went into the dialogues—they really turn me on lol. I’m so hyped for the new updates. If you’re into NTR, this game is a must-play!

Art is a strongest point of this game. Wife is georgeus. Thats it.
Pacing is bad. Not like slow burn pacing, more like The Walking Dead season 2 TV series pacing. Everyone keep having same dialogue over and over again without moving the plot forward. Dialogue feels forced and railroaded. Reminded me of famous "Anyway, how is your sex life" line. And repetitive. Let me elaborate more why this is badly written story in my opinion.
MC`s or the husband`s personality is incosistent, he switches between edgy master manipulator and insecure shy schoolgirl.
There is different routes like NTR\NTS or even love route(dont know, didn try), which is a plus.
There are better written games in this genre, my recomndation is to try them first and if this is your jam and you want more than this game may be able to satisfy an itch or tide you over until update to another game. Writing is just too bad, which is a pity because art is good.

The AI generated artwork stands out, and the story is serviceable, but it doesn’t do much to distinguish itself from similar games in the Phone NTR games. While the premise shows potential, the current lack of meaningful choice detracts from the experience. Most decisions seem to have minimal impact on the story or the content, with dialogue changes feeling more cosmetic than consequential.
Hopefully things get better in future updates.

This game is very exciting, I love the art, I know it's AI but it was a lot of work to implement it with this game, I'm waiting for the updates.
I hope that in the future there will be flashbacks from Lisa's point of view and how the conversations were or if there were more interactions with the male characters that have appeared, and I want to see how it develops with the unknown number.

The Best of the Mobile NTR Genre

I’ve tried many NTR games, and this one stands out as one of the best in the genre. Let’s break it down:

• Art: The visuals are well-done. I’d rate them a solid 4/5.
• Meaningful Choices: The branching paths and impactful decisions are impressive, earning a 4.5/5.
• Writing: This is where the game truly shines. The writing is incredible, with nuanced storytelling and compelling dialogue. For me, writing is the most critical element in this type of game, and here it deserves a flawless 5/5.

Overall, this game combines all the key elements needed to create a standout NTR experience, and the writing elevates it to the next level. If you’re a fan of the genre, it’s a must-play

The art is really nice, AI? So what?

AI art too can be both trash or not trash, this is probably not trash, instead it probably can turn out to be gold if it's not already, at least in my eyes

Story is also going up nicely, eagerly waiting for the updates

Keep it in mind, praises are coming from someone who's doesn't generally like NTR genre

I love the graphics, they are beautiful. The story is showing lots of promise and I hope both cheating and sharing happens. The wife is wonderfully rendered and the style is very nice. I hold great hopes for the Trainer and the Colleague, but also hoping for random encounters.

The AI artwork is good, and the story is functional. There's just not a lot different from any of the other 'Phone NTR' games out there right now.
The choices don't seem to currently matter much, in terms of where the story goes or what content you see. The dialogue after each choice changes slightly, but it feels more like a placebo choice than anything substantial.
I'm optimistic though. It feels like a demo, and the demo isn't bad. The character development is better than average, and the progression of the story doesn't feel overly rushed. Hopefully in a few patches, choices will be more impactful, and the story will get better.
