"Secrets and Boundaries" will follow our main character Aaron (name is customizable) as he starts his freshman year at the illustrious Viktor Khondria University. He will meet many people including several lovely ladies for him to try his luck with, though there are plenty of other guys who are also competing for these ladies' attention.
Spoiler
Similar to "
Sharing is Caring
", this VN will feature multiple paths for you to follow including Netorase, Netorare, and Netori that will be dependent upon the main character's Confidence and Sharing stats. To clarify, this is how I define those paths:
- Netorase: The MC is dominant and willingly shares/encourages his partner(s) to have sex with others because it turns him on.
- Netorare: The MC is submissive and his partner(s) have sex with others whether he likes it or not, and sometimes without his knowledge. There will also be degradation and humiliation.
- Netori: The MC is dominant and will pursue the ladies regardless of their relationship status with the intent of making them his and his alone.
There will be the option for "swinging" on the Netorase and Netori paths, but this will be completely optional and in the MC's control.

This game has the potential to be a great sharing game. As others, I'm not interested in the cuck/ntr content but it's there as an option for those who are. I haven't checked the netorare route and, so far, on the sharing route, sharing content is added to the content you get with the girls yourself - except that you get to see extra scenes you wouldn't see if you didn't share. I mean, you go to a party with a date and that's the girl you get for the night, if you share, you get messages from your friends with their dates, if you don't, you don't get the messages. I find it a huge positive factor that on the sharing route, the MC's own scenes with the girls he's pursuing are not replaced with cuck scenes. On the current content, sharing scenes come in addition to MC couple scenes and hope it remains so. The interesting bit is how the story can flow dynamically through the confidence stat, sharing and boundaries. Not all games succeed in implementing stats well, but this one seems headed in the right direction. It's entirely possible to be the most confident guy and freely share your girls, set whatever boundaries you like. It's possible to combine sharing with netori - which means the three routes presented are not closed. Apparently you can't choose between teaming up with the nerds or the jocks - though the MC himself has nothing of a nerd's psyche if you go the confident route, teaming up with the nerds is part of the story and makes sense with the MC's academic focus on AI. The jocks are presented as "mild" antagonists, a bit of rivalry is introduced at the beginning, you see them making moves on the girls and can try and race them. I bet this has other possibilities on the netorare path, but on sharing+netori I enjoy helping the girls dodge the jocks. So far, there's about 2/3 hours of content if you read and don't just skip to the sex. A solid start.

first and foremost, i can not say anything about the hard ntr/cuck path of this game. never played it, never will. that beeing said: i think what makes this game stand out is, how unapologetic it is with its content. it takes itself completly serious while still maintaining a goofy and silly atmosphere, just enough to stay lighthearthed. how you can play MC as possesiv with one girl but then say f*ck it and turn another one into the schools bicycle is hilerous. the grafics are ok. def did a good job making the chars look very destingiable from eath other and they are overall very cute. this game may have it ups and down, but you will be hard pressed to find a game that is JUST LIKE THIS ONE. it´s just way to unique in what it does and that deserves respect.

Still an early build, but seems fairly open ended so far in regards to options. Unclear what will be fully available as the story continues, but I think it has a good starting point. Based on in-game options swinging should likely be added as a tag.

It looks promising! As a big fan of Sharing is Caring, I have faith in the dev and I enjoyed seeing some familiar faces. The mechanics seem interesting, and each girl feels distinct. They cover a wide range of tropes and personalities, so at least one will probably catch your eye. I look forward to the future of the game!

-The graphics are simple, nothing remarkable. -No sound, and with generic animations. -The "story" The "story" is an excuse of little relevance where you have 3 paths that will divide the content and therefore the scenes that you will be able to see with each new update, another attempt by a dev to "please everyone" for the end not please anyone, but hey its "avoidable". Recommended only for NTR lovers, otherwise better look for something else.
