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

This is a good game i enjoyed, kinda surprising since i dont like the cuck theme, personal opinion not a criticism, i would perfect just a slutty/horny woman the husband doesnt add anything for me but thats a different game, and not a fair criticism for this one. with that said here are my thoughts on the rest of the game.

Story isnt that bad again not really my thing probably why i didnt enjoy the William parts but i do enjoy a good horny fuck the entire island story. wish more of the women got involve, like the receptionist or waitress, shit let the grandma join.

Gameplay is pretty bad, there no real reason for this to be a sandbox but on a positive note its a small sandbox. If the dev is listening, for your next game if you make is a sandbox please include a quest menu, even if its one quest, i stopped for a day and when i played next i forgot what to do and had to walk everywhere and talk to everyone. also some sort of hint system would be nice too, the game is not too complicated to need it just would be nice. Also the walk speed it too slow.

Art is fantastic reminds me of Jab (maybe there is a connection). One small complaint i have (and a lot of devs do this) if you give a character a giant dick show a bulge in the woman's throat or abdomen when they fuck other then that no real criticism of this but i will say i would have preferred some wilder scenes, i guess DP is nice but you can go farther.

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

How did this game slip under my radar for so long?
This game was absolutely fantastic from start to end.

Pros:
- the art is unique and hot asf
- the pacing is perfect, there's never too long between H scenes, very easy to get off to. But at the same time it doesn't rush the corruption aspect. (You can knock this game out in a few hours, so "rush" is relative).
- H scenes themselves are hot and abundant. I love the creative way that some the lewd scenarios are setup. Scenes are slightly animated with sound effects.
- Lots of anal. Seriously, there's way more anal than regular old vaginal scenes. That is a huge pro for anal fiends like myself.

Cons:
- To be very critical, perhaps a little too much time is spent from William's perspective. I know this is a cuck game but I just hated playing as that incompetent tool.
- The ending was... pretty mean. I would've liked to see an ending more in line with James' philosophy, but I guess William was too much of a possessive moron for that to ever happen.
- very minor grammatical errors and few pronoun mistakes. Not frequent enough to reduce the experience when you're used to some of the MTL travesties out there.

Easy 5/5. Don't think, just play.

Don't understand the high reviews and I expect the average score will come down.

It's a simple RPGMaker novel. Could've been done in Ren'py. The art is okay at best and the scenes are... uninspired. The writing is also odd, like it feels like there are two ending scenes are the bad translation makes it unclear how they're related. For the first one the husband discovers his wife's infidelity, then it switches context to I guess imply that this portion of the story was just part of the wife's novel. But then - unsurprising plot twist - it turns out that the wife was cheating and he discovers this anyways at the end. I'm not really sure what narrating things this way accomplished other than allowing for their to be two separate scenes of the husband discovering his wife. I wasn't sure if there was supposed to be some weird implication that actually the first ending was real and the husband simply had a mental break and suppressed his knowledge of his wife's infidelity.

Which gets to one important thing that annoyed me a bit - rather than just being a corruption/NTR story, by the end things leaned pretty heavily into focusing on building tension around the humiliation of the cuckold husband. So if you're looking for a story that heavily focuses on this sort of humiliation then I guess you'll be pleased with this game, but otherwise not so much.

Story : It's alright in a broad sense but it's really lacking, there no detail or depth to anything, everything that happens can be summed up easily in a couple sentences, I'm not expecting Hamlet from a NTR porn game but come on, work it a little bit, give more context
Gameplay : Essentially a kinetic novel, almost no choices to make and even then, they're very lackluster, you just go from objective to objective without anything to check in the map besides talking to NPC to get notes to unlock previous scenes in the gallery (which you fully unlock at the end of the game anyways )
Porn : Not much but for such a short game I guess it makes sense, still, the art itself is fine but for a NTR it's really lacking in both amount and variety and the epilogue is laughable, you would expect that returning to the resort might give you at very least a couple scenes, but no, you get one and the game ends, bummer
Overall, it's fine but it can be so much more, unfortunately, it's disappointing, I want to give it a 3 because it's not bad at all but there's no 2.5 stars and it tilts more to 2 stars, sorry

I don't understand the 5-star ratings and reviews for this game. I'm convinced they must be related to the poster somehow.

The art is bland and the story is nearly non-existent.

There's maybe half an hour of content here.

There's no gameplay whatsoever.

If you increased the walk speed of the character in the beginning of the "story" you could get that done in two minutes.

It's essentially a gallery (but really it's a novel!) of scenes that are poorly drawn and have very little context.

There's no skipping dialogue so good luck if you've read it already!

Seriously - five stars? The BEST a game could possibly be? BEST art? BEST story telling? BEST gameplay?

I don't usually give reviews but this game is something else. There are some spelling errors. I love the art style it's simple and effective. I love the slow corruption progress. Anyway game is 5 out of 5 definitely would recommend playing.

This game exceeded my expectations. I was expecting a little game with a few scenes, and that was that. But no, the art is really good, there's a whole story (revolving around the NTR) and the pace is good!
Sometimes you find yourself trying out all the png's to find what's next, but since the map isn't very big, that's not really a problem.

I'm not a fan of NTR, but when it's well done ( like here ) it can be really exciting !

The only flaw I find with this game ( and it's purely subjective ) is that you see too often through the husband's eyes.

I'm giving it 2 stars for the art

The game isn't intuitive and there's no hints or walkthrough. You have to search everywhere, at a snails pace, to hopefully find the next step or clue... it's extremely frustrating.

The text has a delay, which can't be changed, which further slows the game .

Navigation is horrible, infinite clicking to get around...typical sandbox.

Story is interesting but I couldn't get deep enough into the game to enjoy it further. I played the completed version released today (10/13/24) and the game might be bugged since I wasn't able to progress, despite using progress suggestions in the thread comments.

A very fun experience, especially for the first work the dev has made. Likeable art style and good diversity h-scenes, a story with focus and good pace; if the tags excite you then I definitely recommend this game. Congratulations on the final release

awesome game, good history so far, gameplay runs as it should, always liked this RPG maker style games, the animations are super nice, the quality and plot are also top notch, this one carry some potential to expand even more the characters on a new history in future / past or in a different location

BEST RPGM game at the site. Creators check this game , you have a lot to learn
-story
-pictures
-no stupid grind
-animations
hope that project will get more and more future addons
I wish the author inspiration, new ideas, and you can also try the animal things (you know what i mean)

This is a lovely corruption-based game by HNStudy, with a number of flaws preventing it from all that it could be.

The writing is great and very arousing, with a focus on corruption and (increasingly as the game goes on) cuckolding. The progression is not the exact same as every other NTR game out there, with an off-beat pacing to it, but it's still appropriate and comes with a porn-typical absurdity to the scenarios that keeps things still a bit light-hearted.

Unfortunately the MTL could be better, as it's at the level of getting the pronouns wrong all the time still.

The art is similar: highly competent in most things, but the women's faces are quite goofy at times, and not necessarily in a hot way.

There is a gallery system, accessible from a PC you eventually unlock, but at certain points in the game (such as right before the end of this version, 0.9) it isn't accessible from your current save.

Scenes you already viewed are also only unlocked by using up "notes" you discover in the game, some seemingly missable. Many are unlockable in a sequence only, so saving up for your favorites doesn't always work either. The whole thing is done to boost immersion, which I appreciate, but in practice it gets more in the way of the faps than it helps.

The bugs can be bad, with the game freezing at several points during scenes. A particularly egregious one this version softlocks you right away if you visit the nudist beach during the exploration scene right after the intro.

All in all very promising, but it won't be the 5-star it could become without many more scenes and some significant polishing before the final version.

Thankfully, saves starting from the most recent update seem to be included, so even in its current state, this is an easy recommend for any NTR fan out there, even those with doubts about RPGM as there isn't that much walking and no grinding. A surprisingly charming and immersive experience for the engine and a solid addition to the NTRPG genre.

this game is so good I really wish the dev would post updates more often and had more games like this one.

please support this dev they're doing awesome work!

It's really really really really good. I'm just writing more stuff here to get to the 200 characters minimum required to post a review. 5/5 stars. it's worth it, i can't be any more specific than this, just try the game you will enjoy it!

Not a whole lot to say, but this is really hot so far and just wanted to give it its props. The pacing is short and sweet, there's no grinding, and there's just enough writing to setup some very sexy h-scenes. The art isn't anything special, but it's very expressive and conveys the excitement and physicality of the scenes pretty well.

It cuts off at a very pivotal place in the story as of 0.8.5 (March 10, 2023), so I'm interested to see where it'll go from there. Looking forward to playing it again when it's finished!

I've been following and playing the game since it first came out, and I'll get to a few things I agreed with and liked from previous reviews.

The lack of combat mechanics that are used in every game made with RPGMaker, whether they are included in the flow or not, is a big plus. This makes for a simple interface.

The lack of unused locations that crowds and stretches the map makes for a more linear and enjoyable game. The fact that there is only one progressible location makes it more enjoyable to play.

The illustrations and our main character are really beautiful. The story is not bad. Agreeing with previous reviews, I think the NTR part is a bit fast. It should have been more heavily corrupted.

We use almost every location in the game. I would have liked some parts to be more, for example; some events in the pool of the hotel where we stay. Spying on people having sex at the end of the beach. We used the BAR in the last updates but I wish there were more of it.

At some points of the story, the night flow could have been nice.

I think this is the end of the game. I'm looking forward to your new projects. You should definitely continue with this kind of artwork, expand your own style (Fantasy Valley is one of my favorite examples).

Finally, the fact that it's animated makes the game even better. It would be nice to have more animated scenes in new games.

10/9

The game has a decent story, it is fairly fast paced and yet not quite as rushed as most games like this usually are. The gameplay is basic, mostly just moving to different locations and finding people. But there's no grind which is a positive. It's simple but effective so I like that part of it.

As for the artwork and renders, unfortunately I don't like it at all. And all the d*cks are abnormally big considering how rare it is to have a 12 inch ding dong. This makes it unrealistic, and after a while boring during the scenes (Which feel repetitive after a while too)

Overall I'd only give this 3/5, and I think that's fair. It could be a higher rating in the future, but for now it's average.

Another hidden Gem !

This is definitely the kind of games that stays !
It is simple, based on a simple and "funny" story, not too much dialogues, enough not to skip them. And it does the job, following the story makes it really exciting, the scenes are hot, simple but kinky drawings and animations places the mood just right it should be !

Can't wait for it to be finished, and for other games like that !

Well although I love the renders, I think that the wife didn't get the corruption properly. She went straight ahead with the NTR. Don't get me wrong, I'm a NTR fan all the way but I much prefer the slow road. We went from simply bjs to anal in a split of a second.

bar none the hottest anal scene out of any game you will play.
This game is hotter in thirty minutes than treasures of nadia + lust epidemic.
Unique art style to boot. what more do i have to say. the author should do some fetish stuff.
