VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Sharing Is Caring [v0.1.0] [Fronte91]

Let me say I absolutely loved this game. I played it for 2 days straight whenever I got the opportunity. I want to list off some pros and cons.

Pros:

• John and Lara are an absolute dream couple. I love how real their feelings for one another felt, and how it came through with every nudge they give each other. They really feel like they just want to be the best version of themselves for one another.
• The pacing, while not perfect, felt more organic to me than in other games I've played. Most other games are either a "slow burn" that makes you fall asleep mid game or rushed through so the FMC is having sex with strangers almost immediately. This, while it could have used some tuning, was actually pretty good.
• I love how everybody has their own personality outside of 'I want to have sex' and 'I am currently having sex.' Yes, the sex aspect does take precedence more often than not, but everybody everybody maintains their own character throughout the game.
• OH MY GOD, A GAME CREATOR WHO KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SWINGING, NETORASE, AND NETORARE. I DIDN'T THINK THOSE ACTUALLY EXISTED. Seriously, I was already pretty happy striking a good balance between netorase and netori choices (I never choose netorare) so that they both could have fun, but I was absolutely elated when the actual swinging choices were introduced. This was definitely what I came for.

Cons:

• The game, while great, felt rather disjointed and all over the place. Storyline-wise, what started out as a couple opening their marriage somehow turned into uncovering a plot by the seven deadly sins to poison the town's water-supply (and, later, energy drinks) with a drug to make everybody horny and somehow easier to control. Also a side plot about Lara and Holly creating a sentient AI.. That... escalated quickly... and rather strangely. There was also John and Lara becoming porn stars, which, while pretty out of left field, I rather enjoyed. I just wish it was written and introduced better. Gameplay-wise, I didn't like how the swinging options was just thrown at you with a note that it was voted for on Patreon. It seemed very lazy not including in the previous chapters as well. Also the corruption stat seemed kind of pointless. I only recall Lara getting 2 corruption checks before it never coming up again.
• The game ended rather abruptly, and with no resolution to the main storyline. What happened to the The Council and their overarching plots and individual sub-plots? Did John eventually stop them? Did the entire town become mindless sex-fiends? Why did John seem to suddenly not care after Lust confronted him?. Everything just suddenly ended after the awards ceremony and we got a brief epilogue.
• Some of the character designs were just rather off-putting, with Jack and Gavin being the worst. Nothing major, tbh, but it was just some little things here and there about them that could have been changed.
• Otherwise, my only other complaints are more nit-picky. I think John should have been nude around the house when Lara decides to start doing so, I think the nude beach, gym, and porn studio all could have been utilized much more to make a bigger game, you could have let us also choose John and Lara's last name (sorry, that one is just more of a pet peeve lol), and I was really disappointed you couldn't get Saoirse pregnant.

All in all I think this was a good game, especially with it being the creator's first game. I really honestly believe if they choose to ever re-do the game and make it a little more 'complete', then it would be one of the best swinger/NTS/NTR games out there. In fact, I really think they should re-do this at some point! I'd pay money for that!

Objectively, I have to give the game a 3/5; but, personally, I'd rate it a 4/5.

Pretty interesting idea of having both Netorare, Netorase and Netori versions of the same story in one, and for the most part it executes the idea pretty well. Bonus points for having the main heroine actually be a proper cuckquean in the Netori route, that's not something super common in these stories. Also for both the Netorase and Netori routes a lot of scenes have also a "Swinging" version where both main characters have sex with different partners at the same time, which fits very well thematically too.

Personally my favorite route is Netorase + Swinging, it's overall very lighthearted, has plenty of hot scenes and everyone has a happy ending in it.

Definitely worth a try if you're interested in any of its themes.

There are 3 main routes in the game: Netori, Netorase, and Netorare, and every choice is labelled to easily access each one. In the netori route, the MC sleeps with other women with the wife's permission, in the netorase route, the wife sleeps with other men with the MC's permission (in both routes, there are options for swinging as well), and in the Netorare route, the wife cucks the MC.

I really liked the fact that there is pregnancy content and you can choose who gets the wife and other girls pregnant (this content can be toggled off). The scenes are not bad if you don't mind this animation style however, it does lack variety sometimes, also the girl's outfits don't change very often, and the most common one is quite boring. Overall, 4 out of 5 stars.

I don't know who really needs this, VN is out for quite a while, but i might as well give my 2 cents. I played only netori path since NTR isn't my thing, so if you are looking for an input for this particular thing, that's the part i will be talking about.

Game got some good things going for it, but is severely undermined by couple things that murder it's potential in cold blood. There are issues with writing, dialogues and characters but somehow the thing that was missing the most was Caring despite the name of the game.

The way i see it netori very broadly falls into two categories, either the character enjoys the fact of stealing and going behind the partner, or he geniunely loves/cares for the person and it just happens that the person is already taken and the rest is nature taking it's course. With this game it kinda falls into the cracks in-between, where it happens in plain sight and partners don't really care, and MC doesn't really have any strong feelings or care for other girls. There are some EXTREMELY feeble attempts at times like Holly confiding that Carlo spends too much time at work, but they are so incredibly watered down it's barely notable. Even after you get everyone pregnant MC's only reaction can be summed by "huh, that's neat i guess". Everyone is a complete unhinged slut sleeping with anyone around so it's kind of hard to care about characters and their relationships under those circumstances.

With biggest issue out of the way, second problem is the writing, which i can only describe as juvenile. It's not a super short game and i think i could count a show of intelligence and emotions under 10 times total, the rest of times it falls under dreaded "hehe, fuck that's hot" banner. Language itself is not pleasurable to read, most conversations and thoughts are extremely surface level and it's overall very underwhelming as a story.

There are also issues with some content being there for what feels like no reason, the subway girl, the prostitute we helped to get into the college, the goddamn Council (why is it even a thing?). Game's structure with 3 separate paths also becomes an issue with characters having to be plain enough to be molded into 3 different ones based on what you pick and some dialogues making no sense since they setup another route, instead it would be much better to focus on one route but do it much better.

Visuals are fine, animations are fine, scene direction is bad, sounds are not amazing but nice, so i don't have issues with technical side.

That said, once you realise how shallow this entire VN is, it's still a decently enjoyable experience, while netori implementation is in my opinion among the worst i've seen due to aforementioned issues, the genre itself is so scarsely populated that it still kinda worth to read.

Very surface level VN about cheating. Every choice is either you pimping out your wife, swinging or you humping someone else for her to witness. But it doesn't really try to explore the intricacies of these relatioships. Frankly, characters, that are just down to fuck from the get go, or the central plot aren't peaking anyone's curiosity so I really can't come up with a good reason to play this game.

v0.1.0
First up, I haven't played completely full of it and my perspective is NTR lover.

Enjoyable story, good for fapping as it keeps on going.
Not good on Netorare (NTR), good on Netorase (NTRS).

Why not good on NTR? simple, NTR has the rule where the guy does not know of the affair of his woman and the NTR path in this game failed that. Almost every time after a sex situation, she would tell/show off to her husband so this delivers more of NTRS than NTR. So it builds up more on the premise of "she did it" rather than "did she or did she not?". NTR build up does depend on the mysteries from the male side so that is what is lacking.

I want to preface this by saying that I liked it a lot overall!
Probably because I might be masochist, I preferred the writing on the NTR route by a big margin. My favorite line in the game is probably when Lara cheers on Jack during strip poker. That being said, the best story of the 3 for me is definitely the NTS route. Very wholesome, and especially since you can choose Jack as the father, literally everyone is happy. Some of the differences between routes seem a bit arbitrary (like the protagonist switches aura or something) and some of the dialogue can be cheesy in this route, which hey, it works well enough for the game. So, kudos once again for the writing on the NTR route, I feel like you captured what makes it tick for people. Up until the big fight, I genuinely found very little not to love. I wish there was a way to not fight, such as ignoring every email or turning down Sarah. Still, it made up for it by being fun. I look forward to your future works!

TLDR: Slice of Life about fucking, fucking, and more fucking.

*Visuals: They suck, but serviceable. Barely.
*Sound: Has sex sound effects, which are somewhat decent. But nothing else.
*Gameplay: Scene selector. You select from a list what you wanna see and that's that.

*Afterword.
Pure wank material, basically.
If your balls itch then this is for you, if your brain itches this is not for you.
Pretty simple right? Have fun~

Highly recommend this one for the swinging/netorase/netori content (didn't run through the netorare route).

It was tough to take some parts of the story too seriously, but this was a fun setting and storyline to string all of the erotic encounters together. I focused on swinging when it was available, then netori/netorase, and always felt in control of the scenes (most of which were really hot even with the KP/COM3D graphics). MC's wife Lara (aka Sapphire Minx) was perfect in the route I followed - kinky and depraved but loyal and loving. It definitely feels like this author understands the differences in character behavior and motivation in netorare vs netorase vs netori themed stories. There's no "sharing = cheating" or "sharing is only for passive betas" here if the right choices are made, very refreshing.

You've got a bunch of partners to pick from, swinger dates, strip poker, bathroom hookups, porn shoots, optional selective pregnancy and more... plus it all feels FUN! No dread or forced beta POV if you're avoiding the netorare stuff. MC is always involved, scenes feel erotic and empowering, really well done. Definitely worth checking out if you're willing to overlook some of the dated graphics and scenes that might wrap up a little too fast for my liking (though that's usually a good sign and better than them running too long). Looking forward to whatever this dev plans to release next!

Note: I only played through Netori and swinging paths as I dislike Netorare.

This game actually surprised me. While netori usually deals with cucking other guys, the husbands were surprisingly cool with me banging their wives. So much so that I did a separate netori/swinging path so they could have fun too (didn't let them knock up anyone, though). The setting, humor and personalities were oddly endearing and I liked seeing the wife's progress with creating the AI.
Most of my problems were personal preferences. Specifically, the overuse use of the line, "I plead the fifth", pregnancy scenes being short and the AI getting a male body. Also no gallery so you have to make save files for each scene.

A nicely done NTR VN. If you're asking if that means netorare, netori, or netorase, the answer to all of the above is yes. The choices in this game are very straightforward which is appreciated, each one will say which type of NTR it will lead to. The characters are all enjoyable and it does a good job of representing each NTR you choose while still featuring a loving wife, not a super dark NTR. A good enough little plot to go with things though pretty porn-logicy.

Just to state more clearly, the whole loop of this game is 2-5 mins of dialogue, choices pop up stating do you want to see Netorare (Wife sleeps with other w/o MC wanting it to happen), Netorase (MC lends wife to other), Netori (Wife watches MC with other), or sometimes Swinging (both MC and wife have sex with others together), rinse and repeat. Almost nukige like in a sense, you're not playing this for anything other than to see those scenes.

The only con I would say its Koikatsu isn't my favorite style but I still greatly enjoyed the game regardless.

Sharing is Caring V0.1.0

I really liked this game, but it does come with some small issues that I personally didn't like. Even though I mention a bunch of bad stuff in the Good/Bad points, I did really like the game and wouldn't have minded it if it was longer. For a first game, it was a great effort and I hope that the dev can put everything they learned on this into another game.

The Good:

• Most of the characters are great and they feel different from each other.
• I liked the fact that more swinging scenes were added in later chapters. I'd rather see both people in the relationship have fun then just watch the wife or have the wife watch the husband. I would have liked even more of that.
• The side story of the AI was interesting.
• There were a bunch of fun and sexy scenarios for the characters.
• The english was great and easy to follow.

The Bad:

• I dont like Koikatsu Party. Characters created in that just dont look hot or sexy to me.
• I feel like something went wrong at the end. I'm pretty sure I got close to zero sex scenes in the last two chapter. I had a mix between Netorase and Netori points. This could also be because I had pregnacy content disabled since I dont really like that.
• Speaking of which, when you turn off pregnacy content, it is a bit jarring that later on in the game, there a still a LOT of converstations about pregnacy. I turned off pregnacy because I dont like that stuff. There should be more alternative conversations or scenes so it stops being part of like half the conversations.
• The side story with the office and weird aphrodisiac in the drinking water made no sense whatsoever and was barely solved at the end.
• The six main characters were fine, but it did feel like that was not enough at all. I would have been fun to see more scenes with other one-off couples.
• It would have been nice if the wifes also had some fun with each other.
• - I also didn't really like how you have to choose between Netori or Netorase for a lot of scenes. What if I want both characters to have their fun?

The was much more than I expected, including the choices and the different routes. It delivered what it promised, it's already great for me. Not really a fan of this type of genre but was surprisingly interested in this one.
I hope I can see much more from this creator.

Version Played: v0.1.0
Time Played: Around 3-4 hours
Gallery Mode: No (No mod either)

I've been following this one since its early releases and liked what I saw from the get go; the creator clearly had a vision for the game's progression and story from beginning to end and executed on it brilliantly. While the characters aren't incredibly three dimensional from a personality perspective, they all fit their role in the story and behave consistently with their set characterizations and motivations.

It should be fairly obvious from the title that the game is very opening to sharing and this goes across all LIs so, if that kind of thing isn't your jam, you can Grandpa Simpson your way out.

Positives
+ Fantastic, sexy story with ample sexual content and a simple fun story to keep things moving along
+ Multiple paths from sharing to netori to netorare to netorase that's sure to hit your kink (honestly though, I mainly just stuck to things that get my motor going, so sharing and occasional netorase, but I appreciate that all the options were available and the dev didn't overcommit causing massive delays)
+ Complete!

Neutral
= Koikatsu - I don't hate Koikatsu, but the lack of detail (pink stick dick!) really brings the hotness down to me. The situations therefore did the heavy lifting rather than some really hot characters models or animations

Negative
- The game feels like it ends rather abruptly. That said, everything is resolved at the end. Sequel maybe?

Overall, a fine entry into the annals of sharing and sharing-adjacent games and I'm eager to see what else this developer is capable of. If the themes are in your areas of interest, I strongly recommend you try the game out!

Note to Devs: Excellent work! I'm really looking forward to seeing what you will cook up next and very much hope it's still in the sharing vein! I hope that you can refine your use of Koikatsu or something else should try a different graphical type!

To be honest, I enjoyed this game. I am a fan of netori and impregnation, so this was right up my alley. A few of the characters didn't do it for me, but that's totally okay. I played a game of Poké-'em-all and I did. 100% impregnation rate too.

I didn't try the other two routes as they just aren't my thing.

Actually a great game for us, fans of netorare and stuff like that. i missed maybe a soundtrack but with spotiffy ist not a problem.

If i say something that dont like is how the FC tells her husband about his adventures, i like went the husband dont know anything about his girl being corrupted

Frustrating, this game started off God awful, but improved quite a bit. However, now that the game is starting to stretch out longer, the flaws in it that haven't improved are getting more and more glaring, making each update feel like more of a chore to get through.

Pros:
-Different routes for different types of NTR. This is an excellent idea as there is a huge difference between a lot of them and different people like different kinds.

Cons:
-Once you've gone far enough down one route you're basically locked in, and the game becomes a kinetic novel.
-The writing is soulless. This feels mean to say, but it's bad. The characters have no depth to them and any dialogue feels bland and meaningless. Most of the characters talk like they're fifteen. I know some people just skip over the dialogue to get to the next sex scene, but this is just painful for me to get through.
-The netorare route is terrible. Might as well call it the abuse route, because that's all you're getting from it. Everyone treats the MC like garbage, lies to him, and then gaslights him whenever he isn't comfortable with something that they spring on him out of the blue. The wife is especially bad in this route, she is constantly angry at him for daring to have an opinion that doesn't line up 100% with hers, berates him, and refuses to have any sexual contact with him. The whole route feels like the very ending of a hard NTR game where the MC suddenly finds out that his love interest has been unfaithful to him and his world starts crumbling around him. That works as a payoff to a longer story, not as the constant status quo.
-The council. I cannot take this seriously. Why, why on God's green earth did this game need a shadowy council trying to corrupt everyone? We already had a decent(ish) antagonist with Jack, we didn't need a big conspiracy for the characters to fight against. This part of the story makes very little sense.
-Holly. I swear to God, almost every NTR game has the "slut friend" who "helps" the main love interest in exploring her newfound sexuality, and almost every single one of these characters are terrible people. Holly really pushes this to the extreme. At first, she's just a relatively nice and supportive friend who is open to a bit of extramarital fun and likes to tease everyone. However, once Jack comes back into the picture, she does a complete 180 and becomes a ruthless bitch whenever any of the main cast are off screen. She actively plots to get the MC's wife and Jack back together by getting Jack to knock her up, just so that the wife will retire and she can take her job. This is made even worse by the fact that Holly is very aware of how poorly Jack used to treat the MC's wife and how he traumatized her back when they were dating. Seriously, what the fuck. This wouldn't make me so angry if the game didn't feel like it wants me to like her for some bizarre reason.

TLDR:
Game started out terribly, then started improving, but it's been going on long enough to make it pretty clear that the aspects that are still bad will not be improving. Decent idea to let people choose their style of NTR, but weighed down by bad writing and even worse plot decisions.

It's a pretty good NTR focused game.
The best point, in my opinion, is the writing. It does the perfect job at creating really hot scenarios for all the sex scenes to take place, and it actually had me anticipating for some of the scenes. However this compliment doesn't really goes for the "non-sex" scenes. If I have to be honest, I don't really care for the stuff happening outside of the sex in the game. In addition, the CGs could look much better, specially when I think the characters' models look really good,but the illumination and camera work on koikatsu don't do it any favors

Overall, it's a good game, but it has room for improvement. I would say it's worth playing for those who like NTR, but wouldn't put it over other games of the genre

That 0.0.8 had me really scared the game would be super small but its the opposite! There's plenty of scenes and characters and dialogue and everything! Its a well built out game and definitely has plenty of content to enjoy. If you love NTR/Swinging/Sharing then this is the best game for you!

V0.0.8

Pretty good game with some good H scenes, the thing that I like the most is the number of scenes for the paths are nearly equally distributed, which is a tough task but Fronte91 is able to do it nicely, props to him for this.
Game is in the early stages but already has a decent amount of content.
Even if you don't like sharing or swinging or NTR, you can still play the Stealing (Netori) route and won't miss much of the story.

Good luck for Future Updates Fronte91, eagerly waiting for them.
