Unfortunately, I feel like this is a weak point of the game. Ideally there'd be the possibility to win, despite the game continuously placing boulders in your way and trying to make you fail. The NTR and your failures would constitute a learning experience on your way to the good ending. Trying to figure out why the events come to pass as they do, trying to act against them but failing over and over until you finally get it right, would make a game such as this much more interesting and engaging in my opinion.

As it stands, unless you consciously choose to expose yourself to bad events in this game, you're good to go. I believe this is rather uninteresting and overall feels a bit more like netorase. Still, I'd say shinachiku-castella makes some of the most high quality ntr games out there anyway, and this one's a gem in a sea of mediocrity despite this flaw.
Yes I suppose in that sense this is more like a voyeur story and resembles the standard cuckold/sharing thing since the guy is consciously going out of his way to look for this


And yes, it is more engaging to try and win to prevent the ntr and be punished for it especially in a game

In My New Life, a game here. They do this really cruel thing where the girl that is the absolute hardest to get with, right at the tail end of her route, RIGHT before she’s about to let you take her v card, she backs off and you now have to get her back from a different guy, and in order to do that you have to make a bunch of deadlines, get a bunch of answers right, etc. jump through a lot of hoops.


I don’t think I’ve ever been so fucking motivated to play a porn game before. It’s one of the few times I wanted to win like I was playing a “normal” game

Using it as a “lose condition” just seems like the most logical way to do this.

Very few games are good at stirring up that sense of helplessness in a way that motivates the player.

The NTR in Scars of Summer honestly feels like an afterthought. The actual H-scenes appear to have been written almost entirely isolated from the protagonist's POV.

Tried the the game today, well it is decent, but not great. It has room for improvement. Would be hella interesting if the NTR rivals moves actively and tries to steal the gal by themselves. Haven't seen any game like that aside Heartful Maman.
Another point is the relationship between MC and Ryoka seems kinda, meh. The MC really lacks affections for Ryoka and Ryoka doesn't even confess or act really passionate with MC or anyting. Like, yeah sure she is a hot childhood chick. It's a shame I can't get her pussy, but well w/e not like I would be miserable or anything. Thus the NTR is there, but really, really weak. Heck in Masaru Route when Ryoka says "I'm Sorry", I was like, you sorry wut girl? Might be just me tho.
But well, all in all the game is not bad at all.

On startup or after playing for a while. If after you play for a while, do you have a save game? I can help you get that save data out.

I played through the game first time and got all 4 memories, even though I talked to everyone I tweaked the appeal meter of everyone at the shrine orbs to reach the good ending (they go on a trip, she confesses and stumbles at the beach with mc). But after that, and this is my 4th playthrough, I haven't been able to unlock the 4th memory. I didn't talk to anyone with ! mark, raised my stats, got 3 memories, but at the 4th memory place, where young Ryoka is supposed to be she's not there. You talk to your younger self and there's nobody behind him. Does anybody have any idea what to do here? I also noticed something in each playthrough (where i couldn't get the 4th memory) after my first playthrough. The 3rd memory is cut short and young Ryoka doesn't watch the mc talking to other girls. Is that why I can't see the 4th memory? If thats the case, what would fix it?

Im sorry my question is incomplete, it happened during startup
Got it, thank you.

I'll look into it more, but it is almost like your phone doesn't support webgl and is trying to fall back to canvas rendering, which isn't great.

What version of Android?
