Damn. That Sayoko news... I once asked a long time ago if he ever plans to make a bad-ending. Or a route where the protag would fight for Sayoko but ultimately lose her. Like real- true NTR. He said it isn't what he wanted... But sort of getting closer to that isn't it?..
He uses the term netorare and netorase in this article- I think he's implying the current route that exists is meant to be more the netorare route while the returning home route is the netorase route... but isn't the current route also netorase?.. Sure- Sayoko does it with other guys behind his back- but he's completely aware she is continuing doing this- and there's no agreement that she would stop after he realized it the first time right?
Big question for Lianai who seems to be the residential Sayoko expert- is Sayoko ever more true to NTR?.. All the endings are happy right? But she continues to cheat in some?- But he is aware of this and doesn't mind it?
It's one of the best NTR stories for an rpgmaker game i've played- others being kuripicks. It's incredibly story focused and interesting build up. So I want moreee. But I want to know how close it gets to different NTR types.
but isn't the current route also netorase? In fact, nope :D What made it like netorase is one of the two endings and the add of extra chips. If you only play the main story, it's full NTR because the MC doesn't find out before the end. Then, you've two endings decided by your last choice.
At the end, MC finds out that Sayoko cheated on him with the club guy. He gets mad, screams and tells Sayoko that he doesn't want to see her again. Sayoko gets out, rain is falling and after some time, the MC comes to her with an umbrella. This is where the end splits in two:
- MC and Sayoko meet later, MC says that he forgives her. They stay together, everything is fine and they find out that Sayoko is pregnant (from the time she had sex with the club guy and her ex together), so he stops school and works at the docks to earn money. She gives birth and the game ends here.
- MC and Sayoko meet later, MC says that he feels excited to imagine her with the club guy so he wants to see her have sex with him. The game ends while we see the MC masturbating while looking at Sayoko and the club guy having sex.
In fact, there is a third ending the dev added in the extra chips.
- While Sayoko is alone under the rain, she receives a message from her ex boyfriend and goes to him. MC and Sayoko break up and the MC begins his relationship with the twintail girl while Sayoko is with her ex boyfriend (that's the summer festival extra chip).
The first one is the bittersweet good ending. The second is a netorase ending, but only because the MC accepts that he has been NTRed during this whole time and finds some excitement in that. The third one should be the bad ending, but not really since the MC ends with Kaoru (the twintail girl). Whatever the choice you make, it doesn't change the fact that the whole game is about netorare. The extra chips part is almost full of netorase events because most of them happen after the second ending.
The new game should be different.
At the beginning of the actual game, Sayoko and the MC go to the arcade center and there, three bad guys try to flirt with Sayoko and hit the MC until the club guy comes and kick their asses. In the new game it should be the same but without the help of the club guy. Then they should go to the karaoke and the bad guys would molest Sayoko while the MC is looking. This event would awaken the desire to share Sayoko with other guys and their relationship would turn around this new fetish. In this new route, Sayoko won't cheat on the MC, and every events will turn around sharing Sayoko with different guys (solo and most likely group sex). It'll look more like the relationship between the two friends of Sayoko and the MC. The couple we can see evolving into a netorase relationship. No cheating, no netorare, just netorase.
To be honest, I can't wait to play this side of the story since I'm generally more into netorase than netorare. I just hope it won't take too much time, but from his previous messages, it seems that they already made a lot of events for this route (he showed multiple screenshots from events we never played since it was for the new route) so it may come sooner than we think. The issue is that they seem to be quite lazy so I don't even know if we will be able to play it before the end of the year :D
