VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Thot on Trial [v1.1.2S] [Inceton Games NTR]

Update v0.4.0 Finally gave up on the DRM Crack nonsense, Originally rated this a 4 Star game but I am dropping my score because of it.

I'm judging this off of what I played not the developer, or there Patreon login antics. I'm deducting one point for that BS.

I played Thot on Trial V.0.30, cracked version. I would never ever support their monetization model. If I like the game and have the financial ability I will support it, I will not be forced.

For a title that was released in June 2024 there is a ton of content. Quality content as well. The game looks great. Inside Jennifer is another Great title by Inceton, I have no biases against this developer as this and Jennifer is the only experience I have with them and so far I like them both. The game play so far is solid, there is no wait two years for the MC to give a BJ slow corruption crap, I'm getting sick of. The story is also interesting, and completely different than Inside Jennifer. I would give it a shot at least while the crack patches work. The story is good, the models are gorgeous and the animations are solid.

The only issue I have with this title is the Stupid Patreon login, it's ridiculous and more of a pain in the ass than what it's worth.

Honestly only like how the game looks. The story... eh. Male MC is a loser. Dude gets jealous SO easily and can't get it up for his wife(who is maybe one of the best lookin female 3dcg characters I've seen) unless he's being cucked in his imagination. But he has no issue when seeing his coworker's underwear pics. AND he cheats first nah. BOOOOO. I'm pretty sure him cheating first isn't an option. I went back to see and the options were something like: (Don't Stop) or (Pull Away). If you pull away they continue anyway and the game asks "are you sure you don't wanna cheat?", then "are you really sure?", and then "are you very super sure?". Hope the female mc ends up fucking everyone and he suffers. Though he probably won't since he can't get an erection for his wife unless someone else is fucking her in his head. smh he'll probably end up having a grand ol time.

This is a typical Inceton VN with the usual animation progression, models and NTR story. That is not a criticism. What IncetonNtr does, however, they do well.

There are basically two MCs in this one- a husband and wife. There are choices for both and how they impact the story is a bit unclear as of this update. NTR is going to happen, that is almost a certainty regardless of the choices. The when and why is up for debate. The wife model is the typical full boob/bootie model, although not as pronounced as in other VNs. A secondary LI for the husband is also a familiar Inceton model - but even hotter depending on preference.

The renders, animations and lighting are high quality as usual. While you may not like their stories or subject matter, one cannot fault Inceton on the execution of their games. Where Inceton shines in this story is the buildup. You can guess what’s going to happen, you can sense the tension building and it is titillating . There is a story here. A legal matter the Husband is prosecuting. Nefarious machinations working against him are afoot. It does add a bit more depth to the tropes you see coming.

As a fan of the NTR genre, it is a good VN so far. Yes, cliches abound and new ground isn’t going to be broken here, but it is satisfying nonetheless. My only wish, however, is the wife doesn’t immediately become the village bicycle that everybody rides. For true Netorare to flourish, you need some hesitation, regret, self reflection before the ultimate surrender. Methinks the wife in this game will first have her inhibitions lowered and succumb in a moment of weakness. She will then be manipulated into more naughty deeds. All tasty if she then doesn’t become a wanton wench. Regardless, I think it will be an interesting journey satisfying that NTR itch.

So far (0.2.5) I'm loving this game. The story advances at a nice pace to make it sexy but within the realm of believable (within porn logic) and characters are reasonably interesting (especially Anna, and the question of trust there). I do hate the MC though, mostly due to the first day when he's portrayed like an idiot with jealousy and anger problems, it fades out later on as if the people writing him wanted to change his personality, more than a real character development. Also the fact that there is a 1 month timetable is interesting, as is the competitiion between different men to see who actually gets to corrupt her first. There are multiple choices, but so far I think most of them or even all don't matter.

Render quality is very nice, as are the animations. And I love the character models developed for the game, they're unique and interesting and bring something to the table. As always I turned off the music so can't say about it, and don't recall much in the sound effects department. There have been no bugs either.

So, all in all, a great start, let's see if they can keep the ball rolling and the level.

Edit: now in 0.8.0 I have to undo my original review because of one main reason: the story has gone to utter shit. Characters lost their evolution, events are rushed and pushed through, choices don't matter at all (AT ALL!) and so on. The game fell for me from 5 to 3 stars because renders and such are still pretty good, but everything outside that is terrible. And it could have been so good...

Edit 2: after the 1.0.0 release this has completely lost its path. Skip the story, just watch the renders and move on, or skip this game alltogether.

Ep 1.

The good:

Renders look nice. Wifey is hot.

Inceton finally figured out how to do NTR by having a protagonist getting NTR'd. Previous attempts were simply a female MC cheating on their significant other.

The bad:

Revealing how things end up right at the beginning. Works in some cinema, but not for this type of story, IMO.

Typical black interracial shit. Personal preference of mine, but I hate it and I wish it would die a terrible universe heat death.

Blackmail. Seems like the girl is gonna get blackmailed at some point based on what was said at the end of the first episode. zZzZzZz

No build-up. Wife has her mind constantly on sex and the MC already acting like a cuck with his dream.

Wife is tarded. So useless and not a good wife.

MC is tarded. Just worthless and can't even attend to his own wife.


Honestly, this game feels so uninspired. Especially with the stupid name. Thot on Trial? Really? That's the best you could come up with? I haven't played a good Inceton game since the first Summer with Mia... and looking back... it had kinks, but it wasn't that good.

Update forv0.3.1 -

This went from being such an interesting start to an NTR and cheating VN, to being a an aimless, and slow moving narrative that it is just flat out boring... and it is rare when I can say that about a vn, because there is at least SOME sex. But this is so freaking tame.
At the pace this game is moving, I doubt we're going to get anywhere interesting with the Wife character before it gets an Abandoned tag.
I used to look forward to a release of this game, and now I could care less whether Inceton finishes it or not.

v0.1.1

From the very opening scene, where the Female character is getting spit-roasted by two dudes, this has to one of the best intros to an adult-vn ever. Not only does it set a precedent for what kind of game this is, but for inevitability of it.

Models - Could be better, but Inceton still knows how to make the women hot.
Story - Loving it so far!
Dialog -Awesome at times, and a little silly here and there. But enjoyable and fun.
I am not the biggest Inceton fan, but I am going to keep my eye on this one. Amazing first chapter!

I don't know man. The wife looks so hot and the starting scene is already her getting spit roast by 2 dudes with animation. This is already a guaranteed 5 stars game.

Other than that the renders are great and the music is fitting. I don't have any complains. Will observe for a couple more versions before I decide to pledge.

Thot on Trial is an excellent immersive ntr-type porn game that fits my personal sexual preferences very well, with excellent models and beautiful characters. I have to say that I am quite looking forward to the next update of this game.

Better and more fresh writing take then I expected out of these guys after it was just more of the same ol same with Inside Jennifer. The switch away from using overly exaggerated and ugly old man asset models in itself is a nice step forward imo.

That said there is still too much "I can't wait to F that pussy" inner dialog going on with said male characters, and the game delivers way too much dream/flash-forward "spoiler" payouts for an episode 1. Which for some of you that like your build up is gonna water down those latter sex scenes when they actually happen for "real".

Game is probably closer to a better-then average but nothing special 3 then the 4 I gave it, but it gets that extra star bump here for Inceton' s always top notch female character models. Would be a solid 4 without already seeing those various full blown payout scenes play out.

Inceton games that focus on renders while everything else is bad.
we play a slut that is selfish, clueless and lazy. she lies to her husband, use the "love" word to get what she wants, don't care about his needs. surely from time to time she wake up from this and feel guilty, but the next scene she is acting like a slut again. maybe thats the plot here, play a slut that will fuck around? well, not that interesting. and since we already know she will get fucked by 2 black dicks why bother? better fap to a porn-movie as we get live-action. is this NTR? right now I don't feel it. I could edit my review if the next chapter gets better, for now its terrible for such a team as Inceton.

Excellent start. There is some confusion about what exact type of NTR this game is, based on the previews and how the game opens. To be clear, the opening is a flash forward, the game quickly goes back a month before then to explain how things ended up there. It seems to me based on all of what we've seen (I suppose this will be a light spoiler?), that the story is heading towards the wife cheating, and the husband secretly getting off on it. It's unclear if it will result in an open cuckold relationship. This is just my guess though. So it's sort of a toss up if it'll be netorase or netorare, the only sure thing is that the MC will be turned on by it.

The writing is VERY good for this genre, the build up and personalities are really well done so far, and it feels very believable, which is rare in this genre, as I'm sure you all know.

There are some annoying glitches, like a few lines not being affect by text settings (the text doesn't instantly appear, and it automatically advances, despite my settings being the opposite.) Though this only occurs with about 5 lines in the whole game so far.

The English is very very good despite it being written by someone who learned it later in life, you can only really tell that fact by his use of bizarre phrases no native speaker would use. "Everyone wakes up on the wrong leg sometimes.", "I need to hit the bed!" lol what. Outside of that the English is perfect as far as I can see. I think that first one is like three real phrases mashed together, haha.

Well i really enjoy the game and the story as well challenges the conventions of gaming storytelling with its mature themes and unflinching narrative. "I hope continues to make a strong impression by delivering such compelling and mature gaming experiences
