TL;DR
One of the better NTR VNs in the history of mankind, marked by its fluid H animations and really good writing (compared to all other NTR media in recent years)
Visuals (5/5)
+The characters and background art are nicely drawn
+Simple animations in sprites while reading (e.g blinking)
+Lots of H scenes; about 30 animated ones (though one of them is really just the sprite jumping to show her titty physics) and a couple of static CGs
+Really good animation even when compared to its contemporaries in the current year; animation is so fluid and well-done that you could see the ripples in the flesh
~Art might be considered "dated" for some
~Didn't really get confused by the main menu UI but I could see how some might be confused by it
Audio (5/5)
+The two main heroines are fully-voiced and their performance is good
+BGM is well composed; developers really know which one to use to set the mood
+Copulation SFX is always a nice thing to have and it does its job decently
Writing (4/5)
+The writing is overall good; the dialogue sounds natural and majority of the cast is interesting enough (e.g your subordinate is actually one of the most fun characters in the VN due to his...unique circumstances and motivation)
+Good build-up to the actual cuckolding; about half of the entire game is dedicated to building up the relationship between the MC and main heroine (definitely not just a nukige if you came in here just for the H scenes)
+The characters are fleshed out well enough that you give a damn about them
+Lots of different endings (though some of them are just a variation of the many others)
+Overall, it's just plain "fun" to read
+"It's NTR! We're gonna have a good time you NTR loving cuties!" (me by the way)
~At the end of the day, no matter how fleshed out the characters are, some of them still felt like they were plot devices written in not because they inhabit the world, but because they need to be there to move the plot
~"It's NTR, and it's not avoidable but eh I don't mind" (some other guy, probably)"
-"Fucking hate NTR and I still do not get the appeal of it. Is the NTR avoidable in this game?" (Protip: it's not; it even says in the cover that his wife is stolen by that bastard ;_; *sobbing noises)
-Well it's NTR so by default there WILL be some illogical bullshittery and chicanery so some suspension of disbelief is required if you really have to make sense of an NTR story
Gameplay (4/5)
+Good length (about 20-30hrs of reading); pacing is also done well enough that you won't think that the writers have stayed for too long in one particular part
+Gallery is chock-full of goodies: static CG viewer, scene recollection (not limited to H scenes), animated H scenes player, BGM player, sprite viewer (limited to the two heroines), and endings player (also shows which choices you took to lead to that ending so in theory you could do without a walkthrough)
~Flags are unified across saves and are retroactive. This isn't a pro/con per se but it's something unique enough that I need to mention it. It goes like this:
- You make a SAVE-1 with two choices, A and B
- You choose A
- Later on, you make SAVE-2 with two choices, C and D
- You choose C and it leads to END-1
- You reload SAVE-2 and choose D, and it leads to END-2
- You load SAVE-1 and choose B
- The flag for choice B is now raised for all your save files
- Just load in SAVE-2 and it will be as if you choose choice B and not A so choosing either C or D might now yield different results
~Due to the former, there are some "tricky" events to see since a choice (or flag that you raised) in the future will change a dialogue in the past:
- You make a SAVE-1 with two choices, A and B
- You chose A
- Game goes on as usual
- Myriads of events later, you chose choice G between the two choices G and H
- You decided to reload SAVE-1 just for the whimsy of it and chose choice A
- Wow choice A now led me to a different ending instead of continuing the story all because I chose choice G in the future!
-Loading a save and checking the backlog doesn't show the previous dialogue that came before that point so you'd need to do a mental note of your saves
-Minor bug in which you would need to do some workarounds to write notes into your save file
-Settings are pretty limited and the resolution isn't the greatest
Would I recommend it?
If you're into NTR, insta-rec'd to you my guy. For many years, this has been one of the most top-rated non-tl'ed VNs and I could see why this has been one of the chart-toppers for a long time. This stands out
greatly in the stagnating cesspool of NTR media and reading this is truly a breath of fresh air.
If you're indifferent to NTR, I'd still recommend it to you since the writing in it isn't just your typical NTR fap-bait and there is some (for lack of better word or because I'm just not the greatest in writing) artistic merit to it.
If you hate NTR, then you'd better pass on this one. No matter what, the MC gets painfully cucked and the amount of endings that can be considered "good" can be counted on one hand. Even the "true" endings left me pretty bittersweet.
