Review as of v0.4.8
Quick note, if you haven't seen the NTR tag and you hate it with a passion, this game is probably not for you. This game proudly wears it like a badge of honor with a quote "Unavoidable NTR". For the rest, you may just like what this dev is selling to pass your time.
As of v0.4.8 I feel like I've got a good idea on my opinions on the game, with it's progress and each of the characters so I'll focus on the technical and characters on this part and the rest I'll leave to my old review in the spoiler.
Animation
From the first version the animation as I replayed the older scenes is still images moving like a flipbook. As of the latest version (v0.4.8) the dev has improved to add custom animations and at decent length. A very huge jump in quality. The story is images still but some anims are not limited to just H-scenes. Huge credit on the dev for the improvements in this area.
Characters:
So I'll go from character to character and focus on the main routes and the key side characters tied to them which would be like this:
Satoshi Route: Satoshi, Mary, Kendo
Kendo Route: Kendo, Mary, Satoshi
Arato Route: Arato, Shizuka, Mary, Satoshi
Satoshi:
At first I found his character to be annoying and one of the worst presented in the game with his absolute beta cuck energy he has which is typical for NTR protagonists. However not only after replaying through the game have I reevaluated my opinion to not be as harsh (he's still annoying) but there's someone worse than him and I'm not talking about Arato.
From the beginning he's a well meaning and nice guy who's not really physically active with low energy in all areas which becomes one of the few key points leading to Mary drifting away to his uncle. He has many moments of repeating himself on issues he has both in his head and outwardly towards anyone that will listen to him and also has many 'foot in mouth' moments that leads to him running into problems that can leads to pushing his girlfriend further away.
Sounds bad putting all that in writing but he has his good moments, just not as many as others.
Kendo & Mary:
The main characters of the game as the absence of one or the other just feels wrong, so it's fair to say the plot has been build around them to fit as well as it does. Both of them are a really good match for each other with similar likes and ways of living complementing each other.
One thing that surprised me is that unlike the typical NTR plot where you'd expect the uncle to jump right on the girl without her consent and mind-break her until she falls, Kendo and Mary don't fully engage until a good while (plot wise in days before they fully engage in what qualifies as infidelity or NTR in this case). I'd dare say Mary is the one who slowly has straying thoughts first partly due to Satoshi disappointing her many times but still wanting to be faithful. It's a nice change to see a slow build-up to the point of no return when the full cheating event (full sex) happens.
It wouldn't be wrong to call out Kendo for trying to steal his 'Favorite Nephew's girlfriend' and Mary cheating too, but Satoshi also gets to points of cheating too at times so basically no-one leaves completely blameless. NTR logic and rules be far different compared to anywhere else.
Arato & Shizuka:
One of the most disliked characters in the game (or the most based, depending on who you ask), Arato fits the typical rich asshole with a big dick that has a picture of him with the words "hide yo wife, hide yo daughter" next to it. He's apologetically ruthless in his thoughts and doesn't give a damn about other people, just to take what he wants and have sex with all the ladies. There's nothing too deep with Arato other to cover the corruption side of NTR which is really missing on the Kendo path which while wrong to take other people's partners is at least done with consent. Arato is not above taking the path of drugs and spiked drinks to get the girl or even forcing himself on them to get what he wants. Like I said, typical asshole NTR Antag.
Shizuka on the other hand at surface level should fit the role of the already mind-broken girl of the NTR Antag but further in has layers of her character that tie's her to Satoshi of all people. As of this review there's nothing further yet but I'm sure the endgame of all routes will have her involved as one of the most dangerous players in the game. I recommend to keep an eye on her.
I've rambled long enough but as I mentioned above if you either don't mind or love NTR and a decent set of story and animations then I recommend you give this a shot. It also helps that the Dev updates regularly (every 2 weeks give or take).
Pros
+ Straightforward plot with some genuienly great character building
+ Great scenes with renders and animations, especially in the later scenes
+ Regular updates from the Dev
+ Multiple routes increases replay-ability
+ A good few characters are generally likeable...for an NTR game
Cons
- Covers many aspects of NTR, including the unavoidable ones so it's not for everyone
- A good few characters are generally hate-able...for an NTR game (This is a slight down as this is intended for at least one person in particular)
Ranking: 4.5/5
