This is more of a recommendation on the developer than on the game per sé, let me start by saying that I already did a big recommendation to the developer, TechnoBrake. The recommendation for those who have missed it is as follows:
“Hey guys,
Man, am I excited for this one! So in the spirit of recommending good games and doing cross advertising which we started by recommending someone that was often recommended to us, I contacted a developer that to be honest, I’ve had some back and forth before but not to this extent.
He was always super nice and after longer conversations I found out he’s super accessible and kind as well which makes me respect him even more. TechnoBrake is a pioneer and one of the oldest devs in the RPG Maker scene, starting in RPG Maker XP back in the 2010’s with the first released game in 2011 which was Niflheimer.
He initially was only releasing via DLSite and it was a pleasure to support and play his games and see the evolution of their quality throughout the last decade. He has possibly the longest still active career with a body of work that would make any developer jealous, and amazing games such as Nymphomania Paradox (NTR Game which most of you would love and has English and Spanish translations), Leviathan and Bible Violet among many others!
You can see most of his work on DLSite here and that’s just his DLSite stuff. He made a Patreon account not too long ago and right now he’s working on Nymphomania Priestess which got a new update today! He is extremely hard working, dishes out content at an almost unrivaled speed and is super passionate about what he does, so yes, this one I’m more than proud to vouch for as I have personally admired his work for almost 9 years now.
Not only we decided to do a cross advertising promotion on our Patreons and social medias, but he even suggested doing a cross-promotion with Ayame being an NPC in his game (with no hentai scenes I believe) and vice-versa for his character in our game (which can easily be a lewd “nun” in the church”) which I’m more than happy to go through with!
I strongly, strongly suggest you guys take a look at his work, specially if you like cheating and NTR.
I’ll bring you more news about this promotion very very soon. Stay safe everyone! Much love!”
So, why out of all the games that he has did I pick Nymphomania Paradox? Let me start by saying that I wouldn’t be shocked if you either loved or did not love everything TechnoBrake does because his style is very eclectic. Sure, there’s always some traits and tropes that he re-uses, mainly the thick body nympho but his games have such a wide range of styles and delivery that almost doesn’t seem like they weren’t made by the same developer if it wasn’t for the unmistakable art and writing styles. For me, my “drug” of choice is Nymphomania Paradox.
PROS
What can I say? I’m a sucker for corruption games, the more innocent / high society the character is, the best, I just love to see that fall from grace (Fleeting Iris, anyone?) but in this specific case, the character is NOT so innocent, she’s an outstanding top of the class student in one of the most prestigious schools who is venerated by everyone in school, kind of like a class rep? But she has a dirty little secret, she’s actually an exhibitionist.
The game follows Ruriko as she becomes ever more daring with her actions, it’s super fun to corrupt Ruriko because of all the fun scenarios she can get involved on. There’s multiple endings, multiple scenarios which are somewhat tied to the many costumes she can wear as she becomes sluttier, from the extremely covered up reserved schoolgirl to going out naked on the streets and all the shades of gray in between such as the super exposed gyaru.
What really strikes it home for me is the simplicity of the delivery. Sometimes you don’t want super convoluted and grindy games, sometimes you just want to go out and fuck everything you see from point A to point B as the character becomes sluttier and this is exactly what this game is. The scenes are hard to find, the map although quite big is very intuitive to navigate and the gameplay is so simple even a child could play it, even though they probably shouldn’t.
Additionally, I’m also a fan of NTR because I find it funny to see a beta with absolutely no self-respect get destroyed by a girl that they clearly shouldn’t have trusted to begin with as if she was the only thing that mattered in the universe so, there’s also that. I like to think that they learn their lesson afterwards and grow from it.
CONS
This is another case of “don’t judge a fish for it’s ability to climb trees”. You can nitpick that the soundtrack could be better, voice acting, bla bla bla but it’s really that, nitpicking. I would maybe make the corruption a little more spaced out and gradual, but if there’s really a flaw in this game is that it isn’t longer or the fact that there isn’t a sequel for it yet.
In case you didn’t get it, I was being sarcastic, it was a joke, the game’s size is appropriate and it has plenty of scenes to unlock.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Not much to say that I haven’t said already about TechnoBrake so, again, go support him! Support good devs.
I’ll see you guys tomorrow with a new review. I promise I’ll get to the more obscure games eventually but rewarding those who’ve been putting their work in for years is more important, give people their flowers before they’re gone.
