VN - Ren'Py - Stay Online [v0.5] [LadyLana]

I am a fan of NTR but not so much these phone games. I've sort of played a few and then quickly dropped them. This one, however, captured my attention. The buildup and writing are done quite well. The use of "cameras" adds to the voyeuristic feel that makes it even more titillating. More importantly, the LI (wife) is rendered well and is a mix of cute/hot/attractive that is very appealing. The Dev certainly mastered the art of the cliffhanger. Smart development to keep players motivated while also cursing the screen.

The only uncertainty is what direction of NTR this will go. It seems to be flirting with a mix of cuck and netorare. Choices exist, but uncertain what direction those choices will lead the LI into. It seems that sound and, perhaps, some animation may be included in the future which would be a great addition. Regardless, it is an above average "phone" game with decent writing, anticipation and a very attractive LI. Give it a try if you like NTR.

I like where this game is going, this type of NTR is always my cup of tea so it may not be objective, but it's not in the deep end yet so I can't give too much of a meaningful review, the female characters are hot, and there are some animations that are also a plus.

Version: 0.4

TLDR: Same ol’ story, well crafted.

This is another NTR-oriented phone game, like a dozen of similar ones. However, this game – so far, as the content is still limited (v. 0.4) – is one of the best in this genre (to make it clear: partly due to the efforts of the dev. Partly – because the average quality of the ‘phone games’ is not extremely high).

The overall idea is simple, there are not too many characters involved, which is good, the dialogues are believable. On the other hand, the plot is predictable… I guess. Though maybe the dev can surprise us? I do not want to spoil, but one of the first choices in the game, concerning the cameras, may suggest some twists in the plot. Hope it’ll be so. I can imagine additional spice if for instance Julia realizes that Patrick has broken her trust – and in consequence he is not aware that she is aware of the cameras… What about Vika blackmailing Patrick – where could it lead? And so on...

The game is mainly text based, which is pretty obvious, but it’s not fully dominated by the text (also thanks to the secret cameras and a video call – hopefully, there will be more of it). I like the visuals. Especially, the FMC is hot. By the way, Vika seems to be a twin sister of the FMC from ‘The Pineapple Express’.

The flaws? The game’s portrait orientation makes the menu and the save slots very small; the letters are almost illegible, the MC’s laptop’s screen - as captured by Vika - has to be looked at with a magnifying glass. There are also not too many options regarding the phone – maybe there could be some more functionalities, like the browser or the phone’s gallery? Location checking app? Remote access to Julia's laptop?

I am looking for such additional features (or plot twists) as in the current state IMO the game is good but not very good. Say, a solid four but still with the potential for a full pool of stars.

Very good game, good dialogues and the pace of the narrative. It is good that there is no dispersion on unnecessary branches (like mother, sister or daughter). Everything is clear and to the point. There is still little content, but what there is already gives great hope. I really hope that the author will not abandon the game and will actively supplement it

I really think this could be a good proposal. Additionally, I like the designs of the girls, and the way the story is told gives a different touch to the eroticism. I’d like to keep seeing how it develops in the future.

The way it captures the thrill and tension of a forbidden romance, the guilt and desire warring within the heroine... it's positively delicious!
The way they'd dance around their true feelings at first, then slowly give in to temptation? Mmm, it makes me shiver just thinking about it!

An overall good game so far. The dev uses mystery and suspense really well. And the graphic is really good. The wife is attractive. He is prolly a fan of pineapple express and lostin paradise because I see little bit of art work inferring to character from those two games. love it.

Let me start by saying I’m an NTR and NTS fan.

However, the characters are poorly written. The MC constantly objects to Vic’s actions, which feels illogical. If he’s against them, he could simply communicate with his wife to resolve the issue. Overall, the MC comes across as very weak.
The wife’s behavior is inconsistent. At first, she’s portrayed as innocent and elegant, but then out of nowhere, she claims to enjoy watching cheating porn. What!?
The game’s logic is flawed. It’s blatantly trying to copy similar games without any creativity.
Some of the artwork has glitches, and some backgrounds are low-quality.
There’s barely any story—it’s just a very simplistic game.

Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and every point I’ve made is valid. Feel free to check for yourself.

A must play game for NTR lovers, I liked the building up, graphics & writing are good, looking for next updates , however if you're playing on phone, download some app from Play Store which forcefully change the phone orientation to portrait, as this is a portrait game but it will run landscape so you'll have very small screen. I hope dev fix this in next update❤

V 0.3: LI is hot, dev is pushing out lots of content in quick releases, nice gimmick with the CCTV. Game doesn't work that well on android (ren'py in portrait mode doesn't work that well on mobile screens, apparently), but is great on pc.
Moderately slow burn so far...

well done, good characters creation, big potential even if idea is not the most unique. It matches expectations of people who is into these kinks. Can't wait for the next releases, keep up the good work!

First of all, it's a pure click orgy, but it's worth it.
FMC is very nicely drawn, the corruption increases at a reasonable pace, MC is given a few options and the texts are really good, as far as I can judge as a non-native speaker.
It could, however, do with some clearer instructions not to skip additional options too quickly because you're focused on the text and don't immediately notice the instructions on the upper phone display.
At the moment I would give it 4 points, because I personally feel that one or two convenience functions are missing. But it really only just missed 5 stars.

Personally, I would like to see a more differentiated development of two basic paths for the next updates. Firstly, the love story, which includes more private phone sex, such as a camera in the bedroom, more teasing, (interactive) sex toys and the like. Secondly, a prioritization of the open relationship, in which the MC becomes the active companion and observer. (Of course, the NTR haters will now take to the barricades, but this story has a well-founded background for such a decision.)

Early development: v 0.2 - 5*
Excellent start.
Yes, another "phone/text VN", but this is the best start I've come across for these types of VNs. Very early first impressions, as far as starts go, this is easily top 2 or 3.

Not a lot of content, story yet, still early, about 20-30 mins worth depending on how fast you read. But what's there is a very hot start/tease that hints toward more excellent story and content to come...

*Update: v0.3 - 5*
The excellent start continues...
Adds another 10-20 mins of reading, excellent photos, and the "paths" are getting more defined.
