I played this a while ago and was pretty disappointed. Decided to try it again to see how it’s come along.
NTRMan hasn’t had a hit since Adelaide Inn, which I still consider one of the best NTR VNs ever made. Even without the high-quality animations his newer games have, the writing, character depth, and meaningful routes in Adelaide Inn were on a completely different level. His recent releases feel hollow. There’s barely any real choice, the corruption is rushed, and the entire experience just feels shallow.
That said, the animations in this game are top-tier. The first NTR scene with the younger girl (MC’s girlfriend) is especially well-done. But the pacing kills any investment I had. Corruption happens way too fast. This applies to both routes. I really dislike when girls in NTR stories instantly become total sluts, losing any sense of buildup or tension. Without that, there’s no weight to the story.
Another issue is that every NTRMan game looks the same. The character designs are instantly recognizable because he sticks to one style. To be fair, the designs are still good, so I don’t really mind, but it does make his games feel repetitive.
Recent NTRMan games feel empty. If you're here just for the animations, particularly the first few scenes, then you might get some enjoyment out of it. But after the first 10% of the game, it all falls apart. It feels like he prioritized animation quality over storytelling. It's a disappointing choice. I wish he’d go back to making games with meaningful choices, multiple routes, and strong character writing, like Adelaide Inn.
The animation quality is the only thing keeping this from a 1/5. It’s extremely high quality, and the game is well-designed visually, but everything else is forgettable. If he combined his current animation quality with the storytelling of Adelaide Inn, every game he makes would be a 5/5.
