RPGM - Completed - TakenoteR [v1.0] [HNStudy]

I would say that the best thing about this game is the pace of the H-scenes which come pretty fast and escalate nicely.
Other than that, the situations in the game are kind of absurd but it also doesn't pretend to be anything serious and deep, so it is not off-putting in a bad way.
The game is light and short experience, with what seem to be original art but not for everybody's taste.
Gameplay-wise, this is just RPGMaker game that you go from place to place, without really solving anything or exploring much because the game is streamlined and there is no real reason for exploration because you won't find any side content or something, but I think the devs figured it out, so the map is really small and concentrated in one place, so you won't need to walk and backtrack endlessly to progress. Also, the game makes it simple to progress, you don't have to work hard to find where to go next.
And lastly, the H-scenes themselves are ok if you are into this fetish but I didn't see something that dropped me off my chair.

Bottom line, I don't see any aspect of the game that could push me for a 4/5.

This is an rpgm game done right. no grind, no clueless exploration of vast open worlds, very nice art style and animation and of course, lots of anal! great job! congrats for the finished game
BUT VERY BAD ENDING
It's strange that this game only had one ending! Even most really dark games have multiple endings.

It's bugged heavily (so save frequently), it has a strong beginning and middle, but the ending, like everyone said, is... mediocre. I mean, closer to the end there's a lof of sex but it's not hot, and that's the worst. Mostly because the "excuses" for sex get ever more unconvincing and far-fetched, you just stop believing the story even the slightest, and with this simple art, minimal sound and minimum animation, the writing should be convincing to sparkle your imagination, otherwise, as I said, it's sex that is not hot. But, BUT! Everything before the ending IS HOT! So it's a good game, just needs polishing (from bugs and remake the ending). Btw, the worst was when we were shown a sex scene but then it turns out that this was just what she was writing in her book, but then we are told that everything in her novel was real so... Really just rewrite the ending and it'll be good, remake everything starting the moment we are teleported into their home - it's a bad idea to break the 4th wall as it kills immersion and here it is already fragile. And the pronouns, it's a complete mess. Men are referred as "she", the wife is referred as "he", wtf, especially closer to the end. And some lines aren't translated at all from Spanish (?).

It was good, so, i see the end, and now, i hate this
Good art, poor history, i wanting for more than i get
Seriusli, why husbund just know whats happening in the last cene, this final is just terible and sad

Well, I finished this game and I think I can recommend it. It's a game that delivers what it promises, despite having some problems that are really a pain in the ass.

- The game's art is simple, but it's well done enough. It's clear that, despite being simple, the artist tried hard to make it visually cool and clean.

- The main character (Elika) is interesting, beautiful and gets corrupted at an interesting pace, without being the "OC I just want to fuck and fuck it" type.

- The scenes are cool, they have simple fetishes, but they should please the average audience, without great demands.

- The development in the NTR of the game is interesting, I think it could be slightly faster.

Now, some points that I saw and that bothered me:

- Elika's husband (William) is simply uninteresting. He's the cliché example of a "dumb boyfriend with a small dick" that you're not interested in at all about him.

- As if having William as a weak point wasn't enough, you're FORCED to play as him in some situations. Maybe it's some kind of "playing the betrayed character" fetish, but I really don't see the need to play as him when Elika is ready to betray him.

- In addition to the two previous negative points, I have to mention the character's "limited speed" moments. Especially when you're playing as William, you're forced to play with a meager movement speed, which makes everything extremely slow to achieve. I found it a terrible gameplay decision and it only frustrated me.

- The game's ending is simply disposable, and the three negative points above were added throughout the entire ending. Everything is pretty bad there, even the final scene is pretty bad.

Anyway, I'm giving the game a 3/5 because I liked Elika, the art, many scenes, etc. But the four negative points really hurt the experience. Play it, it'll be cool, but don't expect Kojima level games.

Introduction
whew, this game exceeded my expectations, as it did many people it seems. you'll get only praise from me, i think this is a fantastic NTR game

Game Description
linear carnival scene collector RPG with focus on corruption NTR. a couple, girl named Elika and a dude named William, go to a resort for a holiday. Elika is an erotic novel writer, and she keeps this secret from her husband. during their stay at the resort you experience Elika going out to receive inspiration for her erotic writings, which comes in the form of her own sexual experiences with others, where William is oblivious

Things I Liked:
- Elika. very hot, very cute, very sexy female protagonist. the way Elika conducts herself is great im not sure how to describe it. she seems to behave like an actual human being i suppose, at least when it comes to her actions and thoughts in the resort. what matters most here is that she was designed perfect character wise for an NTR story
- corruption/NTR. the corruption/NTR itself is great for a couple of reasons. firstly i believe it to be very well paced, its spread out over a reasonable period of time and feels progressed. neither are there any weird jumps or holes in logic. if you wanted to be nit picky maybe you could argue it takes a relatively small amount of time before she touches a penis that isnt her husband, however once you play through the story and get to this point (DO NOT CLICK IF UNWANTING BIG SPOILERS): when it cuts to Elika in her office writing out the novel of all the events up to that point you will immediately realise why and that its okay, since she was just writing a novel
- art/scenes. i mean damn looks like i wasnt the only one that was surprised. the art has a unique and simple flavour to it that will make you regret any doubts you initially had. and as for the scenes they are well written, not too long not too short, and host a variety of different scenarios all of which are spicy
- gameplay. you're just running around collecting scenes and progressing the story. its linear so its easy to follow. some people might find this boring but i find it relaxing and low effort (low effort as in you dont need alot of brainpower or focus to play it). besides, if the game has the intent to be a story driven scene collector you bet it will behave like one
- story. dayum that story was better than i expected as well. if you read the two spoiler tags above for example that was really cool and clever, i never would have thought of such a thing. plus the whole buildup in the resort and how its presented is great
- characters. all of the male NPC characters have a sense of humour and their own quirks going on. its never a dull moment with them i really enjoyed Elika's interactions with them. and Yeny is also a great female side character since she is somewhat of a catalyst to Elika's corruption
- no lame RPGM combat. RPGM combat can be fun if done correctly but its usually not so as a blanket rule if there's none of it i like it

there's nothing i dislike, so id usually put things id dislike here but i wont

Conclusion
if you want a unique quality NTR game this is where you've gotta go. somewhat short and very sweet. you wont regret it and if you can't take it from me then take it from the other reviews here saying the same thing :^)

Version Played: 1.0, Completed all content
Time Played: 3-5 hours
Gallery Mode: Yes
Walkthrough: No, but very easy to progress

This is a game that I followed from an early stage and followed from time to time via its updates.

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of NTR (though I do love NTS, swinging and group), but what saves this from being just a dude depressingly getting cucked six ways from Sunday is the woman MC and humor. This humor isn't necessarily so much in the dialog, but rather the absurdity of situations the MC finds herself in that elicit a chuckle.

That said, the star of the show here is the art. While the style is very simple, I find the MC really hot and the situations she gets herself into steamy.

Positives
+ Charming art
+ Complete and relatively short!
+ Overall light-hearted story with plenty of hot sex

YMMV
= Even though the MC is a woman, if NTR is something that gets you raging, you're gonna want to steer clear
= There some old man stuff, so if you don't like seeing nubile ladies with gross old dudes, that'll turn you off.
= Linear to the point of me wondering why this needed to be in RPGM as I don't think it adds anything to the experience

Negatives
- Non-native English so the dialog is very flat

So, overall, if you dig the art style and corruption with a side of NTR, you should have a pleasurable time with the game.
I'm looking forward to following this creator in the future!

Honestly more of a 3.5.

Note to creator: Thank you for the great work! I love your art style and am looking to see how it and your storytelling evolve in the future. I hope you can find a native English speaker to punch up your writing a bit to make it more enjoyable.

This game has absolutely amazing build up, and mid to near end game pay off.

The ending leaves much to be desired, but the path to it is just so satisfying that i cannot rate it lower.

Recommend playing this if you enjoy relatively fast paced corruption once it gets going. The walking around is part and parcel for RPGM sadly.

Okay this game is an unexpectedly one of the best couple-based NTRs right next to Bawdy Traditions. If you can get past the initial impressions and the horrible glitchy nature of it, this is an insanely good game.

• The main character is gorgeously drawn.
• The pacing is perfect. Not too fast and not too slow.
• Great corruption shown.
• Great formula that works for Netorare type that also has an element of voyeur.

Again the only cons so far is the glitchiness and the initial impressions. Based on the poster, you'd think that the game art was going to be bland and uninspired but there is just something about how the main character is drawn and how her thought process goes. Keep up the great works. Should make another one like this!

The game's overall presentation leaves much to be desired, starting with the artwork, which feels uninspired and lacks the charm or detail to engage the player. The story fares no better, as it’s almost nonexistent, offering little to no substance or emotional pull to keep the player invested.

The content itself is extremely minimal, with roughly half an hour of gameplay—if you can even call it that. There’s no meaningful gameplay mechanic to speak of, making the experience feel static and uninvolving. Adding to the frustration, the character's walking speed is painfully slow, and even minor adjustments could significantly reduce the time required to traverse the sparse "story."

What the game does offer is essentially a collection of poorly drawn scenes, more akin to a gallery than a dynamic experience. The scenes lack sufficient context, leaving them feeling disconnected and unimpactful. Moreover, the inability to skip dialogue is another glaring issue; if you've already read through it, you're forced to endure the same text again with no way to bypass it, which only adds to the tediousness.

In summary, the game struggles on multiple fronts—from its lackluster visuals and absent narrative depth to its flawed mechanics and limited content. While it may have potential with significant improvements, in its current state, it falls far short of providing an engaging or enjoyable experience.

Game would have been perfect, if it was ended differently.
But this game has many anal scenes, which we definitely lack in NTR works, and man all of them are really hot.
I really like the scenes, if this one had a voice acting it could be amazing.
So, it gets 5 stars for scenes, but I give 4 stars because of lack of voice acting, that really weak ending and super mini husband penis (seriously, even 10 years old boys penis is several times bigger than his).
I hope we will see more this kind of NTR games.

Great game, excellent art.

Overall its a corruption NTR, fetch/walk around type game, which I have no issues with since theyre faster.
It was a little frustrating to have scenes aaalmost get there but then stop.
I wish the game was longer and the ending more fleshed out, but still top quality!

A short CYOA-ish game with a lot of walking and limited options, but the old school Flash-style artwork and the decent into depravity the main character takes are very enjoyable. There are a few translation errors and being forced to take control of the male character is a chore most of the time, but overall it's worth playing if you like this type of content.

There is a lot wrong with this game. Most notably the basic RPGM implementation and the (thankfully small) sandbox without a quest log. At least there's no combat of any kind.

The story... well... it serves the purpose of the game. Don't expect too much. The ending is kinda great though, I admit.

Where this game shines though is the marvelous (and plentiful) art. It's worth 5 stars for that alone.

Just to be clear, this is basically a NTR/NTRS VN, so if that isn't your thing, stay away. Or... come crying about it here on F95zone!

Calling this a game is definitely a stretch, it's basically a glorified Visual Novel with a wandering mechanic and some hilarious translation errors (was spanish the first language, then it was translated into japanese? Or vice versa?). I do agree with others who have suggested that the ending seems rushed. Still, the art is clearly inspired by Jab comix, which is cool if that's your thing... in my case it is. So, 3/5 cuz i'm feeling generous, even with some bugs.

It's Soooo Boring and slow... the moments when you feel that it's going somewhere it's stop by an interuption and just doesn't do a good job to satisfy your desire to see more. I understand it's showing the slow corruption of the wife but it's just too slow and uneventfull.

I'm taking off a star for the lack of control in the narrative, especially towards the end of the game, where the
Having said that, I don't want to remove a star just because I don't personally enjoy the kinks displayed in the game (towards the end in particular), so I'm keeping it at 4 (again, for the lack of choice), despite how critical my review might sound ahead.

Format: This game really didn't need to be in RPGM, and should have just been an HTML or Renpy VN.

Content: I was really enjoying this one, but:

• It builds into a hardcore cuck story, rather than the keeping the hidden cheating corruption
• The corruption is too fast
• The actions of the characters (especially the wife) get malicious
• Tries too hard to justify the "cuck" mindset, making it feel less like a hentai game and more like a lecture on the kink after the halfway point

I'm biased, as I actually really hate cuckoldry, but enjoy hidden cheating. Cheating and NTR(cuck) have become interchangeable, despite being very different in execution. This aspect is made worse for me, as the husband is a decent man, who deserves better than what the story forces him through (even if he is a lousy lay.)

TLDR: In short, avoid this one if:

• You don't like it when the NTR turns into hardcore cuck content
• You don't like it when the cucked significant other is physically assaulted
• You don't like it when the protagonist becomes malicious in their cheating
• You don't like walking simulators/primarily fetch quest content in RPGM games

Poorly coded Game. Considering that it's a RPG maker, which already gives you so much to make a functional game without much hassle, somehow this game manages to bug out in the first 2 minutes. Already stuck at the beach. I could go lower than 1 star if it was a thing

Amazing game! There's not enough words to praise the art, a beatiful 2D with vibrant color, great volume and facials expressions that carries the feelings perfectly. Although the story is clichê, it's executed with maestry.

Truly one of my favorite cuck games!!!! I can not wait for the next thing this author develops (perhaps a prequel for Yeny). I love how in the end (spoiler) she has no remorse. I'd yield and just "believe her".
