About Cheat or Not
Cheat or Not is a Ren'Py adult visual novel by Belzeebub. You play a male protagonist raised by his overprotective single mother after his father left before he was born. The story opens as he lives with a girlfriend he privately plans to marry, while his mother has recently moved in after his grandfather's death. Players choose between staying faithful or cheating, and both paths bring consequences. The game uses 3DCG visuals and includes character creation, romance, and mobile play, with a narrative focused on relationships and choices.
The current build is v2.5.0 Revamped, released September 16, 2025, for Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android. It is in English and uncensored. Development is ongoing, with the latest build presented as a revamped release following Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 revamps.
Developer's description
The narrative revolves around a male protagonist (you) who is nurtured by his single mother. His father departed before his birth, profoundly impacting his mother, who became overly protective, apprehensive that he might endure betrayal akin to her own. She disapproves of every romantic interest her son introduces, ironically relieved that he is not homosexual, for then there would be no suitors for her to veto. With his grandfather's assistance, her father, she managed until his demise, which occurs just prior to the story's commencement. This, among other factors, prompted her to reside with her son. Spoiler The protagonist currently cohabitates with a girlfriend with whom he intends to wed, though this is unbeknownst to both her and his mother. The tale commences at this juncture, and you, the player, will navigate the protagonist's destiny. Be aware that both options (remaining faithful or opting to be unfaithful) entail repercussions.I had initially intended to introduce NTR in the story, but after the poll here (in Patreon) showed most of you don't want it, I will refrain from adding it. So, No other characters will partake in extraneous relations outside of the protagonist. The storyline incorporates elements of the harem genre, though I have yet to determine the girlfriend's inclusion. Please extend your support for my projects as I have numerous envisioned games in the pipeline.
