Aperture

I normally avoid AI visual novels like the plague because they’re almost always low-effort, soulless cash grabs with zero gameplay, but after checking out the Chapter 2 update, I have to admit the dev cooked . This project completely defies my usual prejudices; the technical execution is incredibly polished, with smooth scene transitions and consistent character art that actually fits the backgrounds, and no uncanny valley jank here. I especially appreciate that the writing is punchy and concise rather than dumping walls of text on you, making it super easy to get invested in the cast (Inota is a standout). Even though the H-content is light right now, the narrative is strong enough that I didn't even mind. I’m still a hater of the genre, but this game is the one exception I’m actually excited to support.

amazing characters, amazing art, plenty of fun or serious moments ... a slow (?) burning story made with lots of love after playing the 1st 2 chapters, i couldn't help but read through the whole forum thread to see what other people thought about it... not many games would make me "waste" time like this lol

The game looks very impressive so far in its story setup, pacing, setting, characters, style, visuals, lighting, camera work, UI, and music. While it now seems to be moving in a familiar direction that no longer resonates with me personally, the first two chapters left a very deep impression, and that's how I'd like to remember Aperture. I wish Vonsatia good luck with the rest of it.

The potential is here. The AI art doesn't stick out and is consistent. In fact, I would say that it's fantastic. All the main characters and even some of the side characters are sexy. The story and characters are also likeable enough. I hope to see more of the supporting cast, because they are far more interesting than the MC and his love interest. But that also brings us to the biggest issue: the MC. He's very stupid, and it isn't always endearing. It's not bad enough to ruin the story, but it definitely has a bad case of "why did he do/say that?" that makes continuing on hard at times. But despite that, it's good so far. There needs to be way more sex scenes coming up, though. For a H-Game, there is a lack of many H-scenes. In fact, there's just one; a simple blowjob. It's hot, but not enough. I'll chalk it up to it being too early in the story. Hopefully chapter 3 brings more to the table. The biggest boon of AI CG is that you can pump them out like nothing, so I do hope the dev starts cranking them out so that the H-game can show off why it's an H-game. Oh and before I forget: I am very glad this isn't another H-game where all the girls have tits the size of over-inflated balloons. We have too much of those as is.

Honestly, I like the images, and the art style despite AI stuff it is edited nicely, but everything else just falls apart. The story is not making much sense, there are too many words, for little value. This is second release already, and two releases combined have just one short/passing h scene. Having one mini H scene per 2 releases, is just way too little content, and I am not advocating for FMC to be gangbanged so early on, but there is nothing in this game to keep attention so far. Reading kinetic novel for the sake of kinetic novel is not great experience, simply cannot justify downloading this game and with this amount of content per update, it is not worth watching for every other update. I would change ranking to 4/5 if. Less meaningless words/chatter, more action/activities. 3-5H scenes per update. Again H scenes don't have to be gangbang, just anything remotely hot.

Cool concept! while not exactly original this one truly has the potential to be something pretty solid down the road. Story is engaging and silly enough to not be too cringe. Girls are hot and the overall premise is interesting enough. Gonna stick around for this one. Great work.

This is one of those titles that proves a game combining unavoidable NTR with a kinetic novel format can still be excellent. You just need the following elements: Corruption mechanics: Essential for character progression Solid logic: The game needs to make sense, avoiding "porn logic" Competent MC: The protagonist shouldn't be a loser or an idiot or an weak Mental Fortitude: A crucial element is the girls' mental and emotional strength. It's this resistance that makes the experience so tense Complex Female Characters: The FMC and other girls shouldn't be sluts or "easy." They, especially the FMC, need to be intelligent and strong Genuine Conflict: There must be a high level of hatred between the girls and the "fat bastard" antagonist (though it's fine if this diminishes at high corruption levels). He needs to really work hard to get to them When these criteria are met, the game transforms from something just for masochists into a title for fans of high-tension, incredibly hot relationships A few final thoughts: @Vonsatia Endings: I just hope one of the endings is a happy one. Although NTR is an intense genre, an ending involving the complete separation of the MC and FMC, or the MC's total defeat, isn't to every NTR fan's taste Stay the Course: I hope the pressure from the 'fast burn' crowd—who want the FMC to quickly turn into a weak, defeated whore—doesn't make you change your approach Good luck. Be strong, like your MC and your girls.

Aperture is a kinetic novel, starring a wise-cracking tough guy who's always sticking up for people when they're taken advantage of, even though he always finds himself outmatched in one way or another. Although I could name at least a dozen animes that start out this way, I do still think it's a charming premise and am always down to read a story featuring this trope. However, Aperture isn't really delivering on the engagement beyond that. For one thing, this is a true kinetic novel; there isn't the typical engagement we're all used to on this site of making choices, seeing branching paths, and feeling like you're interacting with the world. You're just reading a story, one panel of text at a time (and as others have complained, those panels are incredibly short). So how does that story hold up? Well, it immediately rehashes the prologue, putting the main character in exactly the same situation that got him kicked out of his last school (a random woman is being molested by a powerful creep) and then... it's just kind of exposition and monologue. I'm sure the story is eventually going to ramp up, with these excursions that the MC and Rin go on being used as a storytelling device, but I'm a *reader* in Aperture, not a player. The first 1-2 chapters are critical for getting me hooked, and I don't feel hooked. As for the erotic content, it's almost entirely absent as of right now (unless you're into random scenes of creepy dudes getting blown). But based on what I did see and how gloomy the tone of the story seems to be so far, I have doubts that this story is going to be worth your investment if you're looking for something spicy. Overall, based on all of the 5 star reviews, it might just be that I'm not the intended audience for this kind of story. But I personally think the story needs an editor to cut some of the fat and add in some earlier beats to keep things interesting.

until chapter2. so far this is love story with 1 sex scene already. MC still didn't show any Nts/Ntr/Sharing sign it seems very slow burn if its gonna be ntr! unless ntr involve other character beside mc or fmc -very good writing - very smart using of Renders - very good Art just hope it gets better in erotic writings

I saw this game being promoted heavily by others and I decided to check it out. My review is based up to the latest update (Ch. 2). Firstly, the two aspects I most heavily despise is AI because the characters generated is extremely cliché, inconsistent, and outright lacking of any soul or personality; and VNs because there is a lack of user interactivity to keep myself entertained throughout the game. These two things creates a deadly abomination of games only meant for a one time quick wank and a couple of bucks for a dev. I am happy to say that this game surpasses all my negative stigmas associated with AI or VN games, and overall a generally well developed game. From the start, the word fonts are clear, the wording is concise and always in the form of small sentences; never a super long paragraph which makes dialogue easy to read. The character dialogue and background descriptions are not outlandish or over the top, and there is little to no errors. It feels good to read, and easy to follow. H-scenes wise, is lacking but I assume because it's chapter two, we're still in the building the foundations of this world. However, I actually don't find myself actually interested in the H scenes more than the story you've built. The storytelling is great. The character designs are unique, consistent and likable; they are all somewhat consistent and integrated into the backgrounds perfectly. They all have personalities of a MC, and you can find yourself always cheering for any one of them, for me personally it's Inota. The sound designs support the ambience well, and not totally out of place. The biggest aspect I loved in your game is how smooth everything just flowed; either the storytelling, how characters or things moved through the screen, or how you've transitioned through different backgrounds that fit the story; there is true passion in maintaining consistency and a quality experience. Ultimately I will still be a major AI and VN games hater, but Aperture is so far my only exception . The developer has shown exceptional mastery in harnessing AI in delivering a beautiful experience, and I will most definitely look forward to your work in the future. Easy follow and support.

If every text block with nothing but dots, "...," were removed, there would be 50% less clicking and the game half as long. It is screen after screen of a few lines of text, often repetitive. I'd rather read one big wall of text. Characters are introduced by telling us their personality traits instead of showing it through actions. For example, before downloading we are told the MC has no filter. We are told again and again inside the game. We are told more times than the trait is portrayed in dialog. I suspect the whole game will be about the MC speaking without without thinking. His love(?) interest, Rin, is "scary" despite doing nothing scary, but she's scary, we are told, again and again. One girl is "tomboyish" we are told, I guess because she doesn't have gigantic hentai boobs? Nothing about her personality or behavior suggests a tomboy. There are several ugly bastards that all have the same personality. A few extra students that have no personality. The point is we are mostly told the character's personalities instead of being shown their personalities through actions. Ironically, the MC even calls out this behavior while in the nightclub. We are told the story is from the MC's perspective, but there is a blowjob scene the MC doesn't witness. We aren't given the generic girl's name, her feelings and emotions have no part in the scene. So it's just to show that the principal is pervert, which we can guess. There is also the opening scene where the MC whiteknights a classmate and is punished for it, but that girl also has no voice in the game. It's kind weird and reminds me of that feminist movie, The Substance, where all the men are perverts and all the women are mute except the MCs. The art is good, I guess. It's hard to tell the characters apart. One girl has green eyes, another has huge boobs, but they all have the same face and hair color.

I’m really enjoying this so far and think this has great potential. I appreciate that this is rather unique in that it doesn’t seem to follow the standard NTR tropes. For one, Keita is a pretty tough guy that throws down to protect the people he cares about. I like the mystery aspect of it and the relationship forming between the two main protagonists, Rin and Keita. It is well written and the renders are really good and getting better each update, hopefully it continues to improve with each one. My only critique so far is that it would be nice to view Rin’s POV as well to get a glimpse into how her corruption progresses and it’s a nice way to add h-scenes into the game without diluting the slow burn process between her and Keita which is progressing nicely. The deep rot within a society is highlighted beautifully in the second chapter and provides plenty of opportunities for some great storytelling so hopefully that continues into the future. I’ll be waiting for the next update.

Kudos for making an effort into making the Ai images better and the effort bore clear fruit. Some of the best use of ai images that I have encountered. Sadly, the rest is just boring slog of the same insanely convulsed and well-trodden ntr slog. Such tales live from the writing and it's just lacking here.

This game has the best ai based graphics i have seen so far. It takes its time to build up the story. Right now it is building up the romance between the two main characters and that is such an incredibly important part for a good ntr game. I hope that the dev takes his time with that because the corruption and ntr in the later part is tightly bound to the feelings the characters have for each other. The contrast will be much sweeter and everything will hit so much harder once the dynamic begins to change. I really like the storybuildup so far. The atmosphere is amazing and it feels like I am experiencing an anime episode, in a way no other game on this site could before, especially the little humorous elements are really delivering the anime vibe. I have to mention the incredible characterwriting so far, because the characters dont feel like hollow stereotypes but like real people and that makes you root for them. The worldbuilding and characterdesigns are incredible and i am looking forward to juns story and transformation especially. So far its a 10/10 for me.

I almost fall asleep playing this wall of text talking simulator. Game offer one short lewd scene and that's the only one positive thing right now.. If only story was interesting but is not.. it's just boring. For NTR fans - MC doesn't have girlfriend so there's not NTR at the moment..2 stars

[Ch.1] Very rarely do I have the confidence to rate highly a game on first release, let alone one with AI CG. At first, we were all hoping AI would bring about a revolution that enables devs who didn't have skills or money for art to make their dream games come to life. But it quickly became apparent that AI is not a magic bullet. Very few actually have the skills to use the AI tool to create a cohesive visual presentation. Worse yet, AI became an enabler for lazy devs that have no interest in quality control and just rely on AI to do everyone for them. Basically, I'm saying that if a competent developer who is looking to do a properly paced slow corruption NTR story perfected their AI CG skills, it would look like this. It didn't have any feeling of CG looking out of place or being inconsistent. And the chosen style for the art is not a common one we see all the time. The writing was excellent so far. I like the character introductions and set up for the premise. And I'm quite positive that it was written by a human. If it was LLM assisted, you can't really tell. Very excited for the continuation fo this.

Being the greatest NTR story connoisseur And World’s Top NTR critique…Here is my thought Story - Wow what a pacing and How well written the demo was Never became such Excited about story after playing some demo except my favourite author azienda FUNS Art-This art does justice to The Game…. what a beauty ….Some people just Hate AI stuff cause they have narrow mindset yes AI art is stupid sometimes but this was the most on point art i couldn’t believe it was done by AI even if MArk zuckerberg does this shit i have no problem cause Art is on point…. about developer- i checked his patreon page and wow what a guy he is so passionate about this and doesn’t keep his supporters in dark …he keeps regular updating on progress and even gives vote options for story… Personally The first time i am regretting i have No Payment option available from which i can support this guy…. But you will always be my favourite creator and i urge people to support him .. A Note for author -Somehow i think i see your vision and how you are going to mold this into one of the greatest NTR games… I would just like you to not to be influenced much by others opinion about how they want the game to be please stick to you original vision as much possible (some suggestion which will be good can be taken) and a great author listens to suggestions of the readers but never deviates from the original vision. “ you can always satisfy other peoples fetishes through diffrent routes after your original vision and story of the game is completed… i wish you good luck and success and good health ofc….Love you ❤

One of the few NTR games I really liked, solely for the writing and good audio. A very promising start with a touch of realism that makes it all the more interesting and maybe even exciting for me. The buildup is good, the characters are likeable (for now) and I don't get a sense of AI slop which I normally get when playing most AI ones. Props to the dev for making something good out a tool rather than being overtly reliant on it to do most if not all the work. Looking forward for the whole thing being posted. Cheers!

Really solid beginning. The art, music, writing, and characters all feel polished and well thought out. Excited to see how the story unfolds. Keep it up, dev! Just adding a few more words to hit the limit.

Great potential. So far not a lot of story, but its the first ever version, so thats fine. What little there is is intriguing and has potential. Characters are likeable, look good and scenes are nice so far. I especially like the addition of a potential best-buddy male friend. Almost reminds me of some older VNs mixed with persona in terms of story-vibe. Also like some of the quirky quick-comedy moments. The homework-scene especially.
