VN - Ren'Py - Turning the Page [v0.33.0] [Azienda]

I am not sure what I was expecting from this, but the NTR path is pretty typical of this dev. It's the loser husband who can't satisfy his wife... whatever... but if you just play the corruption path and are not subjected to the husband other than being mentioned/discussed/thought about, then we are talking something pretty good.

The H scenes are really good and they fit into a lot of my kinks. I do wish there was a bit more variety with the images, but the erotic writing is pretty good. Nice little twist with the alpha male actually caring about the female MC.

I am still waiting for an adult VN where the husband/BF finds out his girl is cheating on him and he gets pissed and makes her pay with some revenge BDSM or some other humiliating way, but I doubt we will get that here.

Regardless, a fun, sexy VN. Looking forward to seeing where this goes. Worth a download.

One of the best NTR games of all time. Keep it up dev. Great writing, great scenarios and the art is hot af. I really hope you'll continue to make games on this genre even after you're done with this one.

I like this game enough to have supported the devs on Patreon but it does kind of leave a bitter taste in my mouth because Sophie is going to end up the same way most female MC's end up, that being a cock hungry whore who will throw away her marriage, career, and friends just so she can bounce up and down on the ridiculously sized cock of one of her students. The scenes are hot, very hot even, and the devs do great work to bring out an update each month. But it is just so predictable. Just once I would like to see the beta cuck MC in these games grow a set of balls and beat Chad at his own game by well and truly fucking him over, and if he takes his wife down too then well, its not like she doesn't deserve it.
It's never gonna happen though, it never does, poor beta MC was fucked from the get go. Still, its a good game, though drowning in its own inevitability. But if you just want to fap to the art then you can unlock all the images and animations in the menu.

Edit: 1 year later

It turned out exactly as I thought it would, a woman cheats on her husband and lives happily ever after with Uber Chad, meanwhile, poor old cuck hubby is crushed and no one gives a fuck. Why is terrible behaviour rewarded in these games? Why do S-tier developers, as Azienda believe themselves to be write the same formulaic crap over and over without ever changing a thing? it is boring and uninspired, and in this game verbose to the point of stupidity, you might just as well skip the text entirely and just look at the gallery instead because you know exactly where it is going.

I know it is an NTR game, I expect lies, betrayal, and broken marriages, but why does it always have to follow the same tired old tropes? put some twists in, and make something unexpected happen, husbands are not always limp dicked loser cucks. cheating wives shouldn't always win. Chad sometimes gets his teeth knocked out,

2/10

Only played the corruption path. The basic idea is not so original (confident and extremely attractive student with a massive dick slowly breaks the hot teacher who is married to a boring and out of form man), but the story is really well written. It's beliviable (for an erotic game), the slow burn isn't boring and the H scenes are incredibly hot. I'd like to higlight that last point, because the game doesn't stand out for the quantity of images, but the sex scenes' descriptions really make up for that. Seeing how Sophie's walls of resistance get broken quicker with each episode adds to the expectation as we enter the final stage.

It's got a lot of potential, but personally as it stands it's pretty standard.

Story is the weakest part, as it is for most NTR's, so be prepared to turn your brain off. In this fictional college, the athletic department has huge sway in a completely different one in which the head coach can fire or promote teachers. This causes the initial blackmail reason as to why big boobie teacher has to go the extra distance to appease the star player.
Past that point, it's the usual corruption of course.

Scenes start off alright, but I do think they get better as you progress. There's animations some time in and the camera views and scenes get exciting. I think this aspect can elevate the game.

I don't know how to really rate this game. I think it is a good game and think it is one of the longest NTR game I know. The story is alright and the art is really great!

I don't know it felt boring to me... I like NTR and vanilla but for the NTR I need spice. For the most part it feels more like cheating than anything else. Like the hot aspect to me is finding your wife with a strange white stuff on her or her being disheveled or anything like that. Is it unrealistic that the person would not connect one plus one? For sure! It is silly but to me it makes it hotter rather then her going to a hotel and doing the deed.

The other part is the over use of using condoms. Because fuck it gets boring to me. It could be made hotter tho like for example when they have sex at her home let the husband find the condoms or something like that.

Don't know feels like I am missing spice.

But this is me and think the game is really great and if you like NTR please try it out

Game has all the right ingredients: Good writing, nice drawing and keep the good update flow. I hope the dev keep it up until it is finished. It would be a shame see this promising good start work goes into wasting.

This visual novel is pure gold! The story takes its time, slowly building up the tension and intrigue through a "slow burn" approach. We're not thrown into the middle of the action; instead, we're gradually introduced to the characters. All that and the competing view points turn this game into an amazing visual novel.

Version [v0.14.0] at review time.

I don't care much one way or another for NTR, so I didn't check the Felix route, instead it was the "corruption" Sophie path that caught my attention, so my review is based solely on that alone.

This game takes a very serious approach to story-telling, there is a lot of exposition, most characters are fleshed out very well and the drama feels solid. Which in turn makes the carefully described, long, drawn out sex scenes even more rewarding, since you know what kind of feelings the involved characters are pouring into them.

If you are looking not for a quick fap, but rather for a more slow, enveloping experience, I would definitely recommend checking this one out.

On a relevant note, the story is definitely a substantial part of the appeal to me, so light spoilers ahead:

One thing worth mentioning is that this game is more of a kinetic novel, you don't really get to make a lot of choices, and among those you make it remains to be seen how important the consequences are going to be.

But overall a solid game for any avid readers out there.

What a gem...really flew under the radar. A nice slow corruption game that has a fairly realistic story, good renders, and good character development.

Definitely watching this one closely...nicely done !

Turning the Page [v0.16.0]

It's a book with some pictures. But not always. Sometimes there's also a black screen with text describing something that could have been shown if this project had a competent illustrator and cared about the visual side of things in this Visual Novel.
It's an orgy of "tell, don't show" and lines upon lines of dialogue. And then some more dialogue. And then some narration and then maybe some dialogue. Any project that does storytelling this way using a VISUAL novel engine is pretty much always awful, and this one is no exception. I just can't abide by such a complete misuse of the medium. This project sits somewhere around 1/16 of the way between a book and a comic in its use of visuals to tell a story.
The only parts of this VN where there's something actually happening being shown on screen is during sex. I guess that salvages it somewhat, but when everything in-between is the same static sprite characters just standing there talking it gets so incredibly boring.
That this project is called "turning the page" should have been a clue.
This title really deserves the "text based" tag.
Oh, and when they actually get to bang it out, it's a flood of condom sex. Yuck! At least invent some reason to raw dog it for the love of God.

If you don't care much for the "visual" in your VN's then I guess go ahead and try it. Otherwise, steer clear.

With 2 previous golden titles, under their belt, I knew Turning the Page will take for a wild ride, one hell of a ride I'll remember till the day I lay down for one last time.

Fantastic pacing full of writing and great art.
Pacing: Realistic, slow burn. Not your typical cliché hentai where the wife/girlfriend gets a taste of dick once or twice and falls, it's more than that. Those who say the pacing is terrible didn't let it sit and cook enough, or burnt everything to ashes, let them cook on low and slow. The pacing goes up and down and in between, allowing you to breath before things really go down.
Writing: Descriptive, impactful, it'll end up leaving you wondering and feeling all sorts of feels, happy, sad, bad, hopeful, thrilling...
Art: Look at it and try looking away, even if you manage to, the image of Sophie, Zack, Amy, etc will still appear in your head. The cute little pointy side hair Sophie has will appear in your dreams. The sex will haunt you, and if you play Felix the feeling is enhanced.
POV: It's unique you could play one or both POV, starting in which ever you prefer (and the fact that there are some people running Felix ONLY during the development phase). I recommend also playing Felix's POV because you don't want to be missing out on additional good writing and additional CG in his POV. I would understand for those who aren't into that side of the story but you'd be committing a grave sin, up to you.
Music: Usually I don't care for the BGM, but Turning the Page has me viewing the music credits. Azienda finds key moments in certain events through the game and use them to enhance the event, very well done. Great selection of music, sets the tone/mood.

Eager to see more, keep it rolling Azienda, you guys are doing beyond great. (v0.15.0)

Great game! Worth every second you spend on this masterpiece! Slow burn corruption for real NTR and corruption enjoyers. Recommend this game every NTR fan. Azienda can might surprise you. Great CG's, god-like writing, suitable soundtrack.

v15
Like holy fucking shit this studio just keeps fucking delivering some of the best ntr over and over. Like the amount of content in this is so much. I'd sub to the patreon if I had money to do it, the amount of coffee/coke needed to make this kind of output can't be cheap.
10/10 tysm for the game.

The bad for me:
Turning the page could be a great game but it irritates me. My main gripe is the overusage of condoms. My god he's fucked her 1000x with a condom. I want to use condoms in real life; in a visual novel it's just irritating. Plus when a couple is this hot for each other they totally forget about protecting themselves anyway.

there's a lot of text. at this point I'm just clicking to get to the h-scenes.

ok aspects:
there is internal view for a few scenes but it could've been used much more.
the animation gets much better as the game progresses but it sucks for the first 6 hours of game.
the husband never seems to fuck his wife.

good to great aspects:
there's hour of content
she has a nice body...i love big tits and a big ass

its an average game but it's worth a download.

I've only played the woman pov, as I don't care for being cucked, so that's what I'll be talking about.

It features lots of decent quality text, resulting in a compelling story, which itself feels plausible, adding to its enjoyment.

I'm giving it 4 stars for now, but depending on how it goes in the future, this may well be worth all 5 stars.

Kudos to the dev - it's not common that I stick with a novel that features mostly vanilla sex.

An emotional roller coaster, the female characters are interesting and have depth, I both love it and it makes me sad, it's a good story and gets close to real life, or at least on surface. The art is well drawn as well, I've spotted barely any spelling mistakes, nothing major, a few Ren'py hick-ups that can be ignored, could be platform dependent (Linux).

As others have mentioned, the corruption path is much more enjoyable than the netore, to be honest the latter path only made me sad. The male characters are made too black and white in my opinion.


I do not agree with what the author's view of an ideal world seems to be, but do enjoy her story nonetheless.

v0.13.1

It's great game, no doubt about it. It's about a cheating wife and you get to play it from either wife's or husband's side of the story.

There's not that many characters but they are fully fleshed out, have amazing depth and are interesting in general.

The husband's side is a bit more boring, at least for me, and could use a bit of a revamp, maybe.

The only reason I'm giving it a 4/5 and not the full 5/5 stars is that I found it to be less of a game and more like a novel. You don't get that many choices and you never feel fully in control of the characters, you're more of a passive observer.
The content is still top notch and would recommend it to anyone who likes some depth in his adult fiction.

Edit, played version 24:

Everything I said for version 12 still stands but my god WHY is it so goddamn slow? The few hours of gameplay leading up to especially, I was on the verge of just quitting the game entirely. It get that most NTR games out there are way too quick and the character cheats way too easily but this is going too far in the other direction.

I'll update this again when the game is finished.




(version 12.0)

Game is good but as somebody who just got robbed of like 10h of free time I'm begging you do not play the Felix (husband) path.

I get that the concept might sound appealing if done well but this is not it.

Let me break it down for you:

- 70% boring ass shit about his workplace, which you will still hear about in the Sophie (wife) path because they talk about it together and that's plenty enough.

- 25% his thoughts but they're pretty predictable and you can just use your imagination to guess how he would feel in that moment and get pretty much the same experience

- less than 5%: actual NTR content, like when there's a phone call and you get to see his side of the phone call, but you'd hear his words anyway in the Sophie path, and like i said just use your imagination to fill in the gaps. I'm not exaggerating there's times where you go through 1 hour of gameplay with no NTR of any kind just boring workplace shit. It makes you want to quit the game even though the game itself is undeniably quality. I don't know if this concept can be salvaged and if so how, but in its current state it's a giant waste of time.

Edit:

after playing the Sophie path I have to bump it up to 5/5 because this game is just a masterpiece of NTR, I've tried several similar games and quite often it's rushed, awkward, cheating happens extremely quickly, you get the impression that the characters don't care about the preexisting relationship at all.

Here however it's the opposite, there's so much emotional depth and complexity, you can really feel this woman tear herself apart over this, if you are into that type of stuff with a lot of character development it's the right game for you. It's obvious that so much care and hard work went into making this.

What I said about the Felix path still stands though, it doesn't have enough engaging content to merit its own playthrough.

v0.12.0 reviewed.

This is a frustrating title to review, because it's wonderfully-crafted. I'm not usually a fan of 2D art, but Azienda manages to make Sophie Page nerdy-hot while simultaneously failing to make either of the principle male characters particularly appealing.

Make no mistake, this is Sophie's story, and while NTR doesn't generally bother me, the further I got into this story, the less I was able to relate to or appreciate the one character I thought had any nuance.

First, let me say the writing is S-tier. By "writing" in this sense, I'm referring to the dialogue and narration. Conversations flow naturally and inner monologues are sequitor and fit the scenario well.

I have nothing but respect for a writer of this caliber, and I think this effort is largely successful at describing the unlikely erosion of a (previously) faithful wife's loyalty to a workaholic husband.

The problem for me is that Sophie is a sympathetic character for much of the early game, forced into situations out of her love for her husband and enduring them stoically behind her husband's back.

The issue at hand is that her husband is a genuinely good guy, and as she becomes more accustomed to her dalliances on his behalf, she begins to act like a petulant child when her scheme to get him promoted is successful.

Don't get me wrong, I get what the bread and butter of this genre is, but for me, I began to find Sophie's likeability to begin tanking. The child-man "corrupting" her is arrogant and unlikeable as well.

I recognize that we're supposed to sympathize with Felix, but for me he was just too uninteresting to connect with. Maybe that was the design goal...To justify Sophie's behavior because her nice guy husband was just too mid to hold on to her.

Therein lies the rub for me...Sophie was pretty mid too. At the beginning of the story, they were so boringly right for each other and what broke her out of her shell was effectively extorted sex with her student.

The problem is that I just don't care enough about Felix for me to feel any emotion about her descent into willful infidelity. The lewd scenes are hot enough, even if I can't stand the character she's participating in them with, but in the end, I don't feel angry on Felix's behalf...I just think she's a selfish slut who goes on to justify (and expand) her misbehavior on perceived slights from the husband's job she gave up the ass to secure for him.

While this seems like a critical review, I have nothing but praise for the execution and the dialogue. It's wonderfully presented.

The art is consistent and rock-solid, lacking animations but maintaining the same quality from start to finish. If I have a critique, it's that there are often way too many lines of dialogue between visual updates.

This is a refined product that for me just misses on the story and characterization enough to cost it a fifth star. In a kinetic novel, the story bar is higher for me, and if you're going to strap me in for the ride I can't find myself disliking everyone at the 75% point.

I will update this review accordingly if there is some catharsis later that justifies the current ennui of likeable characters.

I'm bearing in mind that this is likely marketed toward the "Asian Style NTR" fanbase, where you aren't supposed to like anyone, and that my personal values may be influencing my take.

That said, updates seem to be regular and lengthy, the UI is clean and approachable, and the dev's talent shines throughout. I just wish it made me feel more things.
