Others - The Perfect Pair Shall Rise! [v1.4c] [prostochel2002]

20/20, genre defining excellence

In the same way that NTR Legend defined it's subgenre of NTR and had a series of spin off games after it's creation, this game sets the standard for the "hidden NTR" genre like no other. There are a handful of other games with a similar hidden theme but not one of them captures the feeling of loss and corruption like this one.

The art style is exceptional, the 3d models are incredibly well designed, the build up is long but concise and reasonable, as of 1.4c the combat system is beginning to develop and features are added routinely every major update. The developer consistently provides meaningful status updates every single week and demonstrates no sign of burning out or losing interest.

Really good concept and perfect execution, dev also listening to feedback from community and adding it to the game. Gameplay is smooth and engaging with great implementation of corruption and sex scenes

I don't like the NTR content or worst something which seems sexual assault but I will try still to give a useful comment.

You have developed 2 gameplay mechanics with conflicting objectives, and both link to light:

• less light help you to corrupt the girl but the player see almost nothing because of it
• less light help you to corrupt the girl but go against the need to clear the dungeon

An obvious advice would be to remember that the player is not the hero, maybe adding a button to avoid bluring/fading effect to let the player choose the POV would be nice .

Also, I would like to recommend reducing mentor needs during fight to be able to have both corruption and almost the same power level wathever the brightness level is.

Finally, I would like to share an idea/request, why not allowing the mentor touching Aster even if the light is high?
You can imagine a first level at high brightness where the mentor touch her in front of the hero (he can allowing it for any dumb reason link to "magic"). The first level have a cap on % level of corruption.
The next level would still be at low brightness and if the corruption cap of the level (and/or descension point) is reached.
It may even allow the hero to be corrupted, to allow her to have fewer clothes during dungeon and developing their relationship in the kinky way.

Also, having in mind to do a tutorial would be cool for new players.

Good luck with the development of your game!

Time has passed since the initial release, but it's still lacking content. I tried a few runs, and it's basically the same dungeon with slimes and a fat silhouette awkwardly bumping into your girlfriend in the background. At first I liked the idea, but everything can be stuck in that 0.00001 prototype state for years.

This game is in a rough state. It has a good concept going for it but the art, game play loop and dialogue needs a lot of improvement.

1. Art (3*) - art is passable if other elements of the game are improved
2. Gameplay (3*) defiantly needs improvement. One bad aspect of gameplay is that you can easily fall into a death spiral after just one or two failed delves leaving you with no currency to succeed on future attempts. Also needs a save funtion
3. Dialogue (1*) not much there and what there is, is kind of nonsensical. It would be nice to have speech bubbles pop up on the FC screen during delves
4. UI (2*) just needs better descriptions and explanations on how things work

5 stars for the promise. One of the few games on this site that feel like they're being developed by someone that actually knows how to make a game. They're actually using the Godot engine to make a game instead of using it as yet another way to vomit out a mediocre visual novel.

Hidden NTR is also the best type of NTR. This is the best sort because you always feel like you can see what's going on if you just did X and Y instead of the scene just not existing outside of silhouettes.

Big fan, kudos to the dev.

I rate it three stars because even for a prototype, combat feels meh, sex looks interesting but there's no gallery to see what the sex actions are. And it feels like a slow burn to see them that I edited the save file.

Although I'm not a fan of NTR, I will say the concept is interesting in that you're just an adventurer trying to kill things but your mentor and your love interest are too busy trying to fuck behind your back while some slime is kicking your ass.

The sex is interesting though I'll admit to editing the save file in Notepad+ to see them and so far they are promising even if the darkness looks annoying and you have to go through a few fights to see something other than "love interest is looking at mentors dick."

As for NTR, assuming this game manages to get further in development, I can imagine NTR being minimal to non-existent if the optional goal of not losing Aster's grace stays in. Otherwise, I hope to see there's some interaction with mentor and Hero that can go in whatever direction beyond "Hero being a useless cuck while Mentor is a useless ally too busy having Aster stroke his dick while Hero needs help killing a boss slime" such as Mentor winning or losing, Hero keeping the girl, losing Aster, or even dying.

This "prototype" is like watching Michelangelo work on a 6-foot block of marble, and he just finished the statue's face - a beautiful woman's visage, impossibly captured onto stone. Based on that, there are no doubts that the body will also be of exceptional quality!

Absolute Cinema. the game holds a ridiculously good promise for the voyeurism crowd and the hidden NTR niche. The are animations both fluid and exciting combined with the actual dungeon crawling makes for an incredible experience even in this bare bones version.

[ Prototype-rev-1.3b ]
Awesome Draft.

-Story, Originality
You are an adventurer and while you fight your mentor ntrs healer.

-Renders
Okay 3d models.

-Sound
Cool sound design sounds.

-Playability
Roguelike with ntr management and fighting.. Too hard for me though.

-Performance
Runs okay.

-Bugs
Didn't see any.

-Animations
Good animations.

-Voice Acting
Didn't hear any. Maybe some h-sounds.

-Grammar
Didn't see any mistakes.

-Amount of content
Wow.
A cool prototype with solid gameplay and idea.

I will simply wait for it to grow and become awesome!
Now it is definitely a draft with simple hud and a lot of potential.

P.S.
Now I will banter about things I want to see in this game...

-Different dungeons = different ntr mentor: black figure in the initial one; some woman/witch (maybe futa) in another...
-Maybe monsters from dungeon should also ntr healer...
-Some ntr scenes after dying(?) with the black screen and all...

Well, I just hope that it won't be a game where there is 1 female character, who is being ntred by everyone... Please add some other girls

OH!
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!

Add some kind of Gallery, to see h-scenes.

Man, this game has such insane potential.
One of my favorite aspects so far is the view of your partner on the side, and it is essential to the gameplay. While the actual mechanics of combat aren't entirely clear yet (there are no tutorials or hints), the torch mechanic is clear - in the dark, the "Mentor" character will mess with your partner. This simple idea is one of my favorite things in NTR games.

I am giving this full marks because this project NEEDS to be seen through to completion, truly an artisan is behind this work.

I would love to rate this project once it is finished, because I know it would be a game worth talking about. That being said lemme throw my two-cents into the mix but take everything i say with a grain of sand im just some goof on the web.

GAMEPLAY (5-6/10)

okay the gameplay is a little shallow, the concept for the attack mechanic is interesting, it just needs a little polish, idk what exactly, for a hot minute i couldnt even tell that the bottom little attack square is showing what actions you will be doing in succession, so maybe something where what you are doing next is more telegraphed and explained? idk

The cave generation is interesting, I don't know if i totally like the idea that you just generate a new one at will, maybe with some story flair it could be more realised.

CG (1000/10)

I have never seen hcg incorporated into gameplay this interestingly since KP. Shits cash. And animated? Jesus. I can already tell this could be a 5/5 based off the art idea alone.

so yeah in summary please continue to work on this one I would love to support this one once its finished

Review as of 1.3b:

Good:
- The premise is there.
- Animations that are there are good.
- Mechanics are fairly thought out
- Expectations set with labeling as a prototype.

Bad:
- It's a prototype, so obvious lack of meaningful content.

Ugly:
- Buttons that do nothing (unless for some reason I couldn't enable the blacsksmith or w/e.
- Grind is fairly steep to get gold and difficulty scaling is all over the place. Hopefully will be dialed back as game (hopefully) develops.
- Not able to use potions during combat.

So far so good, but don't be fooled, it's labeled "prototype" for a reason.
I like the dark ominous tone of this, + cheeky behavior of the LI.
Leading to a great NTR scenario... now all we need is waaay more scenes and I'm happy

Good mechanic. Perfect 3d art animation. Awersome potential. What else you want ?! Corruption ntr. I like this game so much and author this game open for the idea and questions. even though this game is a prototype, it has already gathered a small fan base of both regular Normies and players as well as developers. It will be interesting to see what happens next. but for now I will give it 5 stars in advance.

Promising game, may change in the future, but currently great potential. Hopefully we can see much more than just dungeon diving. The animations are well placed, though, the systems could be improved on due to multiple factors like torches going out nigh immediatly, as well as the GUIs being janky.

Been so busy gooning I haven't had time to review.

As of 1.3b

You know what's nice about this? It's a prototype that had literally nothing in December and now it's already at a point where you can indeed coom to something by playing. That's the other thing it's actually playing when you do so, the game is a game, not a renpy still or an rpg image hunter. It took a mechanic right from the beginning and doubled down on it.

The dev listens (crazy didn't know devs did that) regarding that mechanic. Building up and outwards at a decent speed, cheers to the f95 chatters and prostochel2002 for getting this to where it is now by sharing ideas.

Next update is apparently going to tackle a mainline quest and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing content meet story and I'm hoping this cycle of growth continues on. Best of luck.

Reviewed as of Prototype-rev-1.3b March 2025

Great hidden NTR game, the mechanics and the art are pretty solid but the game is still in the early phases and you can see that.

Art 7.5/10
Gameplay 8.5/10
Writing 5/10 (so far)

My only complaint so far is that there is no build-up to the NTR. You barely know the FMC at all. She just gets molested so there is no real stolen element.

I'm hoping that the dev addresses this in future versions and fleshes out her character so that we can actually care when we lose her.

The above aside, this is a solid game but I'd hold out for a few updates as while there is a fair amount of content, it's still in its infancy.

Really enjoyed it. Looks fresh and unique in a good and rather interesting way.

Although there isn't much here at the moment, it looks incredibly interesting. Truly looking forward to what it's gonna become
