Never Trust Reality is an adult psychological visual novel built around a phone simulator, created by NTRBULL with Godot and using 2D AI CG visuals. You use an experimental smartphone that learns from your actions and reacts through messages, photos, and notifications. A relationship gradually turns darker as people close to you change and you question who controls the situation. The game includes choices and consequences, with one error able to alter the path. Its themes include cheating, corruption, and netorare, presented as emotional and psychological conflict rather than simple dominance.
The current build is v0.10.1, released July 19, 2026, with ongoing development. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Android in English, with no censorship. The latest changelog entry fixes incorrect Sophie chats that could appear across several routes. Earlier updates added story progression, new in-game days, images, logs, and route content, including a Gwen Log and Daisy-focused material.
Developer's description
Never Trust Reality
is an adult, psychological
phone simulator
visual novel where every message, photo, and notification reveals another layer of the truth.
You play through a mysterious experimental smartphone — a device that
learns
,
observes
, and
reacts
to your every move.
What starts as a normal relationship slowly unravels into something far darker, as the people closest to you begin to change... and you start to wonder who’s really in control.
There are choices. There are consequences. And one mistake can change everything.
This is not a story of power or dominance — it’s a slow descent into doubt, obsession, and loss.
The NTR (Netorare) element is core and unavoidable
unless you know exactly what you’re doing.
Every path is emotional, psychological, and deeply personal.
Nothing is safe — not your love, not your reality.

Despite having an interesting concept (AI smart phone helps you view how everyone in your life betrays you and that you do nothing to satisfy your girlfriend), the execution falls flat. There's no corruption process, your girlfriend just meets a…
