Spy Mission ~A Noble's Maid~ [Final] [The Church of NTR]
Boring and repetitive game.
The scenes are ok, they're not incredible but visually they work.
I quite liked the overall art.
The dubbing works well.

The biggest flaw is undoubtedly the repetitiveness of moving forward with the story of the various characters (which after a while I started to skip).

Some tiles were not closed properly, and the mapping is quite basic.

Another thing that bothered me was the writing of the characters.
Take Momo's "date event" for example.
Without spoilers, but it didn't seem to me that she had a valid reason to continue with her choice and she didn't even have a gun pointed at her head, honestly there are a lot of very forced dialogues, to force scenes.

It's not a terrible game, you might like it but personally I don't recommend it.

Starts slow, but if you just focus on raising everyone's affection, or do full corruption in second run after you get the NG+ bonus money, it's plenty fun.

The options of the characters are great, they're really varied. Only thing that sucks is that you don't get much interaction with the main girl to feel that slow corruption and that the other girls only have two H-scenes -- first time and post-fall.

Still, it's fun trying to figure out the puzzles without relying on the girls, though I definitely recommend just increasing their affection to get past the puzzles quickly. It's a decent gameplay loop to get you to do something while waiting for the main girl to fall and by then you should have the rest of the girls at high affection (note that they prioritize the events based on the order in the Affection list page)

The H-scenes was okay - I wish there's more, that's all.

A bare bones cash grab that is a waste of time for most people. There is a huge build up to an end game that under delivers and insults the player. I get this is a NTR game. But the game presents the illusion of choice in its interactions with the other charaters. And it straight up lies to you and only includes 2 scenes for the side characters. Art assets are reused in a really lazy way. For example, there is no anal for the main character. They just use the vaginal cg for the anal scene. The art is clean and draws players in. But the style is shallow and the characters are asset flips I think. All in all I'd say this game is a 2 star. But the average is higher than that. So I'm giving it a 1 star instead to bring it down to where it belongs.

This game has a good concept and interest to play in a first sight
but after play more than 60 days in game you will found it really boring
and has a lot of nonsense story

And when you beat this game good ending you will found it wasteful time to play this thing, everything you tried to do and all time you paid nothing get back

just skip its, don't use your precious time to play this thing like me

Euuughhh...

This game started so well, but it felt like a complete waste of time by the end. The amount of time I've invested into this game and this review makes me feel like I've wasted my entire day
Spy Mission ~ A Noble's Maid ~ feels like an early version of an early access game—the skeletal structure of something that has plenty more potential.

Instead, we get something that feels barely thought out and probably untested from my relatively buggy experience.

The prologue was great; the story sets up the characters, the stakes, and gives you a sex scene with an already corrupt character to show the potential consequences—a character that the game purposely lets you bond with because this is one of the few games that actually understands the NTR genre.

This game actually focuses on developing your relationship with the various characters of the manor; it understands the genre and its goals far better than most NTR games. This section of developing the maids was a great experience, and it kind of lulled me into a false sense of security as I played around the manor, completing various tasks for two hours. Two hours without a single sex scene. But when I finally got one, it felt impactful and earned.

Later, however, a lot of the really big problems started to seep through. As mentioned earlier, this game has a brutally slow pace, and the dating and corruption mechanics are extremely poorly thought out. I'm personally not that interested in NTR, and this game just lets you... not get NTR'd... Do you want to know what happens if you avoid every easily avoidable NTR scene? You don't get any sex scenes throughout the entire game. The happy ending, where you get the main girl, literally has no sex scene. You can blame me for picking the options I did, but these aren't always clear options in the moment. You don't know what's going to lead to a sex scene or not, and to be honest, you'd be forgiven for thinking the option that doesn't lead to any sex scenes is the one you should pick.

I'll admit, I did save and reload a few choices here and there that led to sex scenes, but ultimately stuck to the main girl's route. Through this, I discovered...

If you stick to the main girl, you will never unlock another character's sex scene.

If you don't let the main girl get corrupted, you will never get a sex scene past the prologue.

Are you beginning to understand how poorly thought out this is? The fact that you can just... accidentally lock yourself out of all the game's porn content by complete accident is fucking absurd.

Well, it gets worse. Let's say you do betray your canonical in-game girlfriend (Azami) and attempt to date one of the other girls in the game. Space and time itself will literally distort to cuck you by changing the sequence of events before your very eyes. What do I mean? I mean, if you select "yes," the ninja girl will get caught by guards that were tailing you all along; if you select "no," these guards never appear. A smarter game would have noticed this inconsistency and literally turned it into an interesting plot point, but there's nothing smart here.

If you betray your girlfriend, Azami, the girl you picked over her will finally get an NTR sex scene. These vary from being decent the first time to being completely forgettable and very sudden. For instance, a girl might go from zero corruption and minimal interaction with the villain to immediately having sex with them. The game understood the part where the protagonist bonds with and falls in love with the girls but completely forgets to actually develop the girls sexually, so it just suddenly happens like a bad fanfic blew into the room.

So once you lose a side girl this way, you'll have her first sex scene, and she becomes fully corrupted in 'five sex scenes' and once she's fully corrupted, you get her second scene. How long does this take? Well, once a night, a random girl from the manor is chosen to participate in a sex scene that evening. The same-sex scene will repeat five times in a row with identical dialogue. And she won't get corrupted if she isn't chosen. You may have to genuinely sit around grinding out months of in-game time to unlock the second scene for every character. And one character's second scene is actually the same artwork with different text!

It's so absurd and time-consuming that I have to question if this game was tested at all. I didn't unlock any of these scenes and only checked them out later by viewing them in the files because, of course, this game's gallery is extremely limited. You can only view content after you've seen it, and if you've locked yourself out of that content, you can't unlock it in the gallery. You'd have to start a new game from scratch if you want to undo that, and that might take you up to half an hour of skipping through dialogue.

This game is the bare minimum in every sense. Lazy gallery, no sex scene on the happy ending; you can even visit a brothel to select a girl, and there's no associated sex scene, dialogue, or anything; just a fade to black on a bed. Fucking hell, Bethesda games have better sex scenes than this.

Despite finishing the happy ending and viewing every first scene, when I checked the game's files, I discovered that I missed about 70% of the sex scenes. It turns out the main girl has tons of them, even though she's extremely easy to prevent corruption with. Meaning the only way to really get any sex scenes in this game is to let the main girl get corrupted on purpose and specifically betray her, which kind of defeats the point of these games for me. There's no tension in actively pressing the "yes, cuck me, please" button. I want there to be tension in the gameplay mechanics and difficult choices that need to be made. I should be making choices like, "Should I prevent my girlfriend's corruption tonight or go on a one-time date with this cute maid?" NTR Knight is a similar game that performs better in every metric because you simply can't be there to prevent every source of corruption, giving every action that advances time weight and forcing you to carefully balance your priorities. It's not even a particularly satisfying process of corruption either; when I checked the main girl's corruption scenes, I just ended up seeing the same similar scenes over and over. Afterwards, she's gained +2% corruption on that body part! The next night was exactly the same scene.

And one final complaint that is hard to fit in anywhere else but is kind of the cherry on top for how poorly thought out this game is... Azami is the main girl and the girlfriend of the protagonist, but... for some reason, she's literally the only girl you can never talk with and never bond with. I'm serious; you can't talk to her ever. You'd be forgiven for forgetting she's even around if you didn't have to go bang on her bedroom wall every night to stop her from getting molested.

This results in the main girl being by far the least developed, least interesting, and having the fewest lines in the entire cast, despite having the most sex scenes. Oops!

Note: I dropped the game after 2 hours, two keys found, main heroine at ~93% lewd, 4 girls NTR'd.

Short review: Overall 2/5. Game had a lot of things that I enjoy: good art, interesting premise, multiple girls, NTR, corruption, good voice acting. However, the execution was very lacking: boring heroine, few H-scenes, less than 2 CGs per H-scene, only 2 H-scenes per side characters, the H-scenes approach climaxing with barely any buildup, repetitive and slow gameplay loop. The amount of effort to progress through the game and unlock scenes was not worth the payoff.

1. Synopsis: It's a very simple and straight-forward story: you and your girlfriend are undercover agents at a noble's mansion to find incriminating evidence against said noble. Maids and other acquaintances can help you find clues to discover the keys to access the noble's safe. You need to find all three keys before your girlfriend gets fully corrupted.
2. Characters: I thought some of the characters were pretty unique (Aloe for example). The worst characters are the fat noble and the main heroine Azami. The fat noble was as generic as you can get. I thought Azami would be interesting because she was fully capable of handling things by herself during the prologue, but then... she became just another generic cucked girlfriend since then. I thought the "side" characters were all much more interesting and had more character than Azami herself, which is a shame.
3. Gameplay: Ironfistjecht wrote a great description of the gameplay. It's a 3-part day cycle and one action progresses through the day and you build affection towards your acquaintances to reveal clues, a la Persona-style. Without building affection, it becomes a scavenger hunt where you have 2 chances per day (because you're very limited in exploration during the night). After spending a good chunk of time for one person, they get cucked and then they effectively become useless. I think there was a bug with my game because everyone's corruption countdown numbers would keep resetting back to 5, so I never got to see the alternative scenes to see if it was worth the time investment. And even then, the noble only sleeps with one girl per night so it's RNG on how long it takes for them to get corrupted, and I was not going to keep playing to anticipate for that given the quality of the scenes.
4. Fappable: I spent two hours and I couldn't get one fap. When you're spending 95% of the game exploring and building affection, it's really difficult to get excited. And when the H-scenes happen, they start and end too abruptly before you can get yourself off, let alone the H-scenes are just one or two still CGs. It kills my boner when I peek on Azami and it says "you already seen this scene. Skip?" and wastes my night action. Like come on, the ero notes says she's getting corrupted, so show me her getting corrupted?

Overall, I got pretty disappointed because I thought I would really like this game. There were not enough scenes to justify slogging through this game. Basic scavenger hunt game with little payoff.

The game had the potential to be great, but there's a big, big problem with it as an H-game—the scenes themselves are SUPER SHORT. Other people already mentioned the flaws in the gameplay, but for me, the fact that each sex scene is literally just ten paragraphs ruined everything. I would just download CGs if still images without dialogues were enough for me. It doesn't even have any animation to compensate. Such a waste of potential, just like their other games.

The game is okay.
A lot of it is carried by the art and the general idea of the story, but less so by the actual gameplay.

You're this pipsqueak kid agent working together with your fellow agent Azami looking to expose the owner of the mansion for his sex trafficking crimes. You do this by disguising yourself as his new butler and Azami as his new maid.

You have 3 cycles throughout the day to explore a fat duke's mansion. The goal is to get 3 colored keys through clues and exploration that open the duke's vault containing incriminating evidence against him. Now why he would have such a document and not simply burn it is beyond me, but the game needed a hard requirement to beat it and the documents are that.

You get the hints by building up relationships with the maids of the castle and your buddy pal police girl to help you search clues.

You can build up romantic relationships with the maids, but it's an extremely pointless feature because the duke will find out that you're trying to get it on with someone and quite literally rape them straight into not wanting to talk to you anymore, so that's a lot of wasted time. Really you mostly just build relationships so the girls can show you where the hints and clues are to proceed. It's similarly to Persona an Affection system where one choice in your dialogue with the girl you talk to gives Great Affection, Slight Affection or Unchanged Affection.

The added twist is that on the third cycle of the day, the night cycle, the duke will try to groom and make your sidekick Azami into his loyal maid. You can either play your part in the fetish game and spectate him do it in the night cycle or you can interfere to make sure you get the good ending. Spectating for too long will get her cock addicted over the course of the game and in good old fashion trigger a change of heart in Azami because "Protagonist cock small, fuck that guy, I'm the duke's girl now because cock big", causing the bad ending to trigger upon beating the game where she will notice that you have the incriminating evidence and plans to leave with you, but gets groomed the hour before leaving into being betrayal horny, fucking you one last time and going "Wow, this dude sucks, I wanna stay", ratting you out as a spy and getting you executed the next morning.


Now, in all honesty: the gameplay loop is tedious. There is no way around it. On a first playthrough you will not have a lot of fun because nearly every nook and cranny of the mansion can be explored and a solid... 90% of said mansion is wasted time exploring. Every single tile in certain rooms is worth exploring, even double tiles like two-tile long picture frames must be explored one tile at a time. The game cuts you some slack by letting you know what you already explored, but have fun seeing this as a positive when you're stuck at around 70% into the game and half your girls refuse to talk to you or give you tips because you romanced them and the duke raped them straight.

At some point I was so clueless and desperate that I simply bruteforced clues by checking everything. The game has no time limit, it merely has Azami as your internal game clock to tell you whether or not she'll double cross you for the duke's cock.

It's a 3/5. A lot of this game is carried by art and fetish for sure because I think the general idea of a betraying deuteragonist is something I've been looking for in a game for a while now, but the gameplay... man... it's god awful, no offense.

You can approach Aloe to purchase info on each girl, even herself, to know what you have to answer in each situation you can earn Affinity, but all the same you can simply explore the mansion for 1-2 hours if you don't feel like building up romance just to get cucked. And yes, even your police buddy pal who doesn't even WORK at the mansion will get taken away from you.

It's honestly just not an amazing gameplay loop and it massively takes away from the creative ideas it has.

The game is very lenient on Azami's corruption, to the point I would argue you'd have to be willingly stupid to let the bad ending happen, but that's the whole point of the fetish game. I don't know why you'd ever download this if you didn't plan to get cucked.

Another Perfect Ntr Game that could be put in Favourite list.
Slow corruption with exciting CG dialogues to betrayal which is best in NTR.
Side character, maids, conquering them is not boring at all with very good voiced characters in outside cg dialogues + good CG's with them in good storyline with them being unique and hot in their own way to talk to like in other games, where many would prefer to skip, shame that there is only 1-2 CG's for every maid, but still good, with more plot would have to go longer and maybe differenlty little bit. Those who want to focus only on main heroine could do so as well by investigating yourself thinking where clues could be hidden with there being enough time for it. Don't have to run big distances through gameplay which is another +
Overall it's a great NTR game and much looking forward to more awesome Saikey NTR games like that and like other masterpieces, you know how to make awesome NTR games.

Honestly, this game has no reason to not get an easy 3 stars, but they still managed to screw it up just with the sheer amount of grind.

The Art:
Pretty good quality, but incredibly sparse.

Story:
Pretty solid. A treasure hunt while trying to protect your girlfriend as you both go undercover to investigate a lecherous noble. A nice start with a bonus side cast of all the other maids.

Gameplay:
The basics are good. 3 time periods: Afternoon, Evening, Night. 1 action per time period. You can investigate a location you think is suspicious or Help one of the maids to get closer. Both options can advance you towards your end goal: Gather the keys to get into the safe and get the evidence. At night, you can either peak on the activities of the noble or make noise nearby to interfere and keep him from acting that night.

The problem arises in just how much you need to do for small gains with little payoff.
If you choose to investigate: It's literally square by square. Almost every object other than floor or wall can be investigated. Some objects grab your attention and you can guess reasonably well enough. Others you need to get hints from other clues or interacting with the maids to find. Ultimately, it is a fucking slog to do this way.

If you choose to get closer to the maids, you generally need to help each maid at least twice to reach the next event, and no clue towards finding the keys is guaranteed each event. There were something like 5 or 6 events with each maid, all purely story based, before you get the chance to attempt to date them and subsequently get cucked. There are no real intermediary H-scenes prior to the date event. And each maid only has 2 scenes total: the initial cuck and the total corruption scene. Even worse, you need to ensure the girl has been sleeping with the noble for a full week before she progresses to total corruption.

Now, I'm all for slowly corrupting girls in these sorts of games, but you only have two scenes: The initial capture and total corruption. It takes 5 days for each of the 8 side characters to unlock their total corruption scene. That's a fuck ton of just going to the fate-nun outside to ensure the right girl is spending the night with the noble and then skipping time to the next day and repeating.

And we haven't even gotten to the main girl. Surely, she'd be more interesting, right? No. Not really. Yes, she's got 10 scenes each focused on mouth/boobs/pussy/ass, but it's still a slog to get her corruption levels high enough to unlock them.

Summary:
The game feels well-made and polished, but like they either never intended to write the middle portion of the game, or had much grander ambitions setting out than funding permitted. This leads to a grind-fest with very limited pay-out in terms of art-scenes. It's saving grace is the story and gameplay are at least kinda interesting on their own. But it's really just not worth the grind.
