    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.

    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.

    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.

    A great VN for people who like netorare or netori. The art is fantastic, the writing is top tier, and the game doesn't lose focus on the story it is trying to tell.

    You have a choice of playing the MC (Netorare) or FMC. Playing as the FMC is the way to go as there is much more content and it will appeal to more people as it's more of a corruption themed story than NTR. It has a very nice slow burn to the story and, for the most part, a believable plot.

    The art is just as good as any professional hentai artist. Some scenes are animated and others aren't. I'm not someone who puts a lot of value in animated scenes in VNs so either way I enjoy the content.

    I really don't have any complaints about the game. It you want to watch a wife get corrupted I highly recommend this game. The NTR theme is only really present if you play as the male MC. Like I said before, it is a slow burn so if you want a quick fap this probably isn't the game for you. However, even if it is a slow burn there is a lot payoff for it already in the game which is more than I can say for some other games on F95.

    TLDR - If you like cheating wives, play this game. NTR isn't really the focus. A pretty perfect game, even if there aren't a ton of branching paths like some VNs.

    This review is for V0.11.0. This was a different experience and once again felt the need to review. Now I am NOT a fan of NTR from the male perspective at all, not into cucking, humiliation, etc. Cheating, slut wife, thats all good.

    This is obviously a NTR title, but like some others the NTR needs some explaining as there are so many angles to the kink, and this is a perfect example of angles that should be explained better.

    You can play this as the Male MC, or the Female MC exclusively. I feel this is the absolute best way to have these games. Nothing worse than playing a hot sexy wife cheating or exploring things, and then jumping into the brain of the husband who is being cucked, or cheated on. Thus the 5 stars as the clear division of brain is here, nice graphics and well developed relationships.

    Female MCs perspective, the Husband is unaware, oblivious, and she is slowly corrupted by a caring, perhaps even loving young man who cares for his Professer deeply. This is not humiliation, angry, (very slight blackmail if you can call it that).

    Male MCs perspective, the husband is unaware, oblivious, some slight suspicion but pretty much a nice guy and not aware.

    So not hard NTR, but from the FMC view, really just a cheating game where she is developing feelings and exploring sexuality with her student, and the husband is not aware. Its a cheating game. If play the M MC, its pretty much just sex with wife and conversations with NPCs..he is unaware and kinda a boring play (great from my perspective as I like the FMC view (which has allot more content).

    Great 2g art, good flow and deep releationship development. Not much for choices at all, so more of a VN. No bugs found.

    So at this point no hard NTR, just cheating wife (thinking she is doing this for a good cause) and her changing emotions. So at V0.110 and playing FMC I don't see the need for NTR haters to run away, she is a conflicted cheating wife.

    Cool game, love the releationship development with this one, hope it doesn't go full on humiliate the hubby thing. Lots of content at this point.

    This one has great art, and a deeper relationship development than almost any game of this

    This is the great game. Pretty arts, cute character, nice writing, a lot of content, constant updates. Actually top #1 erotic visual novel in my personal experience of more than 100 completed titles. Not a huge fan of NTR but this game is serving it lightly in easy acceptable way. Can't wait to see what's Sophie up to next. Really hope devs wouldn't drop the development and compete the game so please support them on Parteon!

    Really great and underrated game. One of the best games on this site.
    + Great Art
    + Great writing
    + Already a lot of content (with sex)
    + Consistent Updates
    You play the game from the female heroines perspective. It feels like the 'Bull' actually likes her. Personally I prefer it this way. I don't like stories where the Bull just aims to corrupt, break, destroy the heroine and throw her away afterwards.
    No Ugly Bastards, so if you prefer the heroine getting smashed by some teethless, smelly, incest monster, this game might not be for you.

    It's written very well, and it seems like the dev took their sweet time crafting believable interactions, instead of just slapping together lewd scenes and some arbitrary sexy talk. I even like the premise for Sophie's path, where she makes conscious choices to sacrifice for the sake of her husband. It really makes it feel more organic, rather than some other games that simply that drop 20 guys on you in the first 5 minutes in some sort of reverse harem. Here, it seems slow, methodical, deliberate, with a clear outcome you can expect, but the journey is still novel and fun.

    I like the 2DCG as well, though I wish that x-ray was shown as well, but it's not a dealbreaker. I would like it if Sophie's POV was shown, at least a single image per sexy scene, to give more context as to how she views the scene, because right now it seems like the player only gets a voyeur experience. I'm not against it, but it would be nice as an additional feature.

    I honestly do not have too many complaints, I think I spotted a typo regarding dialogue involving when the Halloween event will be, where it say "a week today", which I guess was originally "a week from today", but maybe it got mistyped? Seriously, everything works well, I even love the menu design, and the small art decals in the exit window, everything is very beautiful aesthetically.

    In short, a great VN, be it in writing or the 2DCG art. There's some nice parallax too which breaks up the static scenes a little and some animations. I really enjoyed this game and would honestly recommend it to everyone into NTR, or at least tangentially interested in NTR, though the female path doesn't overly obsess over it and focuses more on the general seduction of Sophie by her (soon-to-be) favorite student.

    The writing is excellent! I like how both Felix and Sophie have similar mannerisms compared to Zack, Amy and the rest, making each character feel different. Sophie's writing and her inner monologue was very well done and was one of the best part. Her dialogue and the rest of the cast just felt natural and emotional, making them feel like real people. Her resilience to the villains moves make the climatic scenes more impactful. I say all this because there are lots of VNs out there where the writing does not feel natural or emotional at all.

    The art style is also pretty great also. Only problem was that Sophie's nose looks like its not there in the H-scenes.

    The villain's slow corruption on Sophie and how he executes it was also well written making the H scenes feel more exciting. While they are long, the build up to the climax make it well worth it.

    I think sound design could be better. For example, the suspense music could be better, but it does improve the atmosphere of the scene. Also, Sophie's sound effect feel a little bland, but still having it rather than not is better. Overall, sound design was a nice touch and it does overall improve the experience likewise with the animations.

    This is probably one of my favorite VN and I can tell that there was a lot of effort put into it. Having played the developer's previous game's, this is probably their best work, having improved on art and writing. I only wish the best of luck for them and will always keep em on my radar.

    Great game with great art. Starts slow and gets progressively hotter and more 'debauched' as the corruption path continues, which is the perfect corruption path format in my opinion. Story is interesting.
    it's a good game you should try it if u like NTR. 5/5

    It starts off well, it almost looked as if it was going to break the trope of the main antagonist blackmailing the female protagonist and in a well written manner (the antagonist wins her over with skill), buuuuuuuut a good few hours into the story, with a good slow build up to the first naughty deed, the writer uses said trope.

    I'm fine with the blackmail trope, it can be real naughty and kinky, but the problem with the moment the antagonist uses blackmail, and after, the story starts to lose a lot of it's tempo. It seems like it can't decide where it wants to take the characters. One moment, the antagonist is all loving, and romantic and sweet (and genuine), the next he is a blackmailer.

    It feels like the writer was trying to break some NTR tropes, and they start off brilliantly in this attempt, but it falls onto said tropes and after that, it seemingly can't decide whether it's a romance novel, or an NTR one. This can also be seen in it's music choices for certain scenes. It's like the first sex scene, the music is a bit TOO jovial for that moment - a faithful wife is cheating on a loving husband ffs!! That's not even mentioning how complacent she is in agreeing to it (no resistance whatsoever). As a result, it loses a lot of it's immersion, and doesn't seem to have a fixed direction.

    Edit: I've rerated this game because at end of the day, I look forward to it's releases. I feel like it's finding a better tempo, and a better method of getting the female protag to willingly cheat. I think the dev has tried to escape the NTR trope for blackmailing, and still misses the initial mark. However, as the story has progressed, they've used a better dynamic to get her to do the naughty deed by focusing on something more realistic. She hasn't been converted into some braindead nympho through the use of blackmail, nor does it feel annoyingly unrealistic.

    It's a classic NTR game where little by little the problem gets bigger.
    The drawings are impressive and the game conveys the feeling that your wife is slowly going to the dark side without wanting to.

    Looking forward to seeing more content.

    [v0.6.0]

    What if there was a Japanese style NTR taking place in a pretty grounded story where characters act reasonably?

    This game is rather unique among its peers. There are noticeable and seemingly deliberate efforts to circumvent the expected story beats and common NTR tropes. Don't get me wrong. It's still clearly following the usual NTR plot structure, but the details make the story stand out.

    The wife is incredibly resistant to mental and physical corruption for someone taking center stage in an NTR story. The husband is not put into unreasonable situations where he has to be absolutely retarded to not notice something. They are in a healthy marriage with great communication and a productive sex life. The villain is not a caricature of the corruptor archetype. And if the dev's previous games are anything to go by, the side characters are not only in the story to fulfill sexual roles. The black dude? Doesn't seem like a tag team villain, right? Will he show his true colors or is he actually just a good dude? The students (nerdy girl and virgin beta boy) that obviously like each other? Are they just waiting to get NTRed? You really can't tell with this dev. Some characters are really just there to show that the universe isn't conspiring to NTR the MCs. There are normal people in their lives too.

    For better or for worse, the story is trying to stay as grounded as possible for what is still a full on NTR story that follows the usual progression. The subverted tropes are novel and legitimately convincingly written, but it could be seen as a double edged sword. The eroticism is definitely lacking compared to the earlier works by this dev. The very extensive first act is something I can always get behind in NTR stories, but maintaining the plausible and reasonable reactions by the wife during the second act (corruption arc) makes it a bit hard to fap to. The sweet payoff will definitely come eventually, though. It will just take longer than usual.

    The writing in general is extremely high quality. The dialogues flow naturally and the chemistry of the leads is definitely felt. Also, it's a bit sad that this is a point worthy of praise, but the depiction of how a college functions is realistic. How many times have we seen school settings where the author hasn't the slightest clue about academia in general?

    The game is long. It really takes its time to flesh out the characters, their motivations, and the situation they find themselves in. But rest assured. The work rate of this dev is insane. The updates come in sizable chunks at a reasonable rate. Hopefully, they find more support so that they can maintain this rate of production. It's a 3 person team that is taking a financial risk on this.

    Turning the Page is a step forward by the Azienda team, and a massive improvement over their previous, already good, games. The art has been refined into a consistent, pleasant style that is both erotic and attractive. They've avoided the ridiculous proportions that plagued their previous games, and opted for more sincere and realistic setting and characters, that bring the game to a new level.

    The writing matches this level, with engaging character development and dialogue throughout the game. The character's internal motivations feel consistent and understandable, while each character, from the protagonists and antagonists to the side characters, speaks in a unique and distinct voice. The plot seems both erotic and (to the extent NTR can be) realistic and understandable.

    The audio is an improvement upon previous games, though not where the game shines. Nevertheless, it is integrated into the game in a way that smoothly improves its quality without becoming intrusive.

    The game-play (this being a visual, game-play is choices) so far can't be commented on excessively. However, what is there, such as the available good ending, offers necessary context and perception of choice so as to make the down-fall of NTR all the more excruciating and exciting. I look forward to similar future choices and paths that I'm sure will be offered.

    Turning the Page is a stellar western NTR game that I would highly recommend to any corruption or NTR enjoyer!

    Personally, I don't qiute like this new project. Previous works were much more preferable. They were hotter both in terms of drawing and scenes and yes, I understand that this is a completely subjective opinion, porn is generally subjective.
    It's not that there have been any improvements, it's just the developer has changed completly its style and target audience.
    Walls of text, nothing happens, the "antagonists" are some cute sissy boys from twilight.. Is this novel for a housewifes?
    Unfortunately, there is nothing left of the dirty NTR with the bad guys that i used to.
