The King of Summer is a time management style VN in which a pathetic cuck and his girlfriend go on a tropical summer vacation with his chad-cocked uncle. Gee, I wonder what could possibly go wrong?
Frankly, exactly what you would expect. In fact, it's so exactly what you expect that it detracted from the game a bit for me. While there's a pretty good slow burn corruption arc as the MC's girlfriend is slowly drawn away from him through a mixture of sexual dissatisfaction and neglect, it's just predictable. If you're into hard ntr, King of Summer executes the formula well, assuming you're not sick of the formula.
In addition to the main hard ntr storyline, there's also a number of female side characters with and without their own boyfriends who the chad uncle and occasionally the cuck boyfriend can pursue as well. Relationships and kinks vary based on the side character but generally include some level of ntr as well, whether through swinging, jealousy, or betrayal.
The gameplay is basically non-existent, which is acceptable for a straight VN. Once you clear the completely linear game opening, you choose events on a map with either the boyfriend or uncle at either night or day either with or without the girlfriend. The scenes you can find vary based on each variable. There's no grinding, only story progression, and new scene locations are highlighted. I guess I'd call it the best way to avoid having gameplay in a VN.
As for the writing itself, I'm a little on the fence. It's hard for me to describe exactly, but I guess there's just a huge amount of what I'd call filler. While I like the individual scenes and characters, there's a massive amount of flirting and dialogue in the lead up that I found myself utterly uninterested in and tediously clicking through. I get that the story wouldn't be complete without these moments to establish each character's personality and backstory, but there's just SO MUCH TALKING.
The art is exactly what you see on the tin. It's Koikatu all the way down and a pretty excellent use of the software. The girls are featured in bikini's around 90% of the time and they're all delightfully tiny. Fans of beach babes will love it.
I do kinda hate uncle chad's appearance though. He's got a weird sort of muscled fat appearance that seems completely unrealistic. As an added bonus(?) his dick is so big that it distorts the girls' faces when they suck it, leading to horribly distended jaws that make me think of warping source engine models in the most heinous way. It's hard to keep a boner when the blow job images make you think of derpy Team Fortress 2 memes.
As with most ntr games, your mileage is going to vary on this one. If you're a fan of big booba girls in swimsuits fooling around with other dudes, you'll likely find something to enjoy here. If you're here to ask "iS nTr AvOidAblE," King of Summer makes no attempt to hide that it is not.
