Natsumi Love Story v0.5.0

Welcome to the world of Natsumi Love Story, an interactive dating app that takes you on a captivating journey with your little sister, Natsumi. In this unique and engaging app, you step into the shoes of an average male student whose life takes an unexpected turn after a truck accident. With your parents taking a long vacation abroad, you find yourself living solely with Natsumi, a year younger than you and someone you have grown incredibly close to.While Natsumi may appear to only love you as her protective older brother, deep down she is hopelessly and secretly in love with you. One day, she musters the courage to confess her feelings to you in the most straightforward manner. However, fear of ruining the family dynamic holds her back. Can you navigate this delicate situation and help Natsumi overcome her internal struggles?

Plot:

You as the main character are just an average male student. That is until a truck hit you and Isekai'd you- no, just kidding. You live only with your childhood friend, Natsumi, because both of your parents and hers are very rich and decides to take a long vacation abroad (yeah, they aren't a really good parents).

The difference between you and Natsumi are only 1 year, so you've grown very close. Natsumi said I love you to you a lot, but obviously she only meant it as her best friend (well secretly she's desperately in love with you but afraid will ruin the relationship dynamic).

On a certain day, she decides to risk it all and confess to you in the most straightforward way. But don't worry she's cute and you secretly have a suppressed feeling for her too because why wouldn't you? She's cute, and who wouldn't want to be the target of someone who is desperately in love.

She's trying to get better though, and your job is to help her get better while receiving a lot of love (and lust) from her. There are multiple endings planned, one ends with you, Natsumi and a harem, one ends with you and only Natsumi, and the last one ends with dead bodies in what used to be a love nest.

The story also includes a plot of fighting against NTR, in this case, a blackmail attempt. Meaning some dude will try to blackmail Natsumi, but obviously Natsumi and the Main Character will win. I include this in the story as my own personal justice against NTR, because I really, really hate it. So, while there's a blackmail attempt, the only time the dude will ever get to touch Natsumi is when her fist meets his nose.

There's also another route that will prevent the NTR attempts, but you'll still decide to remove the threat, covertly, so neither you nor Natsumi will ever be at risk at all.

So, if even the mention of NTR is too triggering for you, I advise against playing this, but if you want to see justice served against NTR, you might enjoy it.

Reviews:

I just discovered this game and it really caught my attention, the linear story is my favorite genre but right when I downloaded the game I saw a comment about the game that said that in the prologue Natsumi doesn't marry the MC? She was marrying with another guy?, I really don't believe it since looking at the photos he looks like the MC but who knows, can anyone tell me who she is really marrying? (I saw that they clarified that in their discord but I don't really use discord and I don't want to install it just for that).

To be honest the Risa stuff in this makes me feel slightly shitty. Maybe I'm just bad at reading the subtext but it feels like the game doesn't make it clear enough on what happened imo. I mean I feel like the game makes her seem like she's interested in the MC but she picks the other guy and ends ups ghosting the MC just to ask Natsumi about him on Valentine's Day. I personally would not want to be involved with someone like that it seems to me like she feels like she made the wrong choice and feels guilty about it now. My main point is that to me Risa kind of comes off as a shitty person and is in denial. I also just want to say the rejection isn't the shitty part but the ghosting and then asking about them much later because you feel bad about it is.

Good game but if you have an option for no incest and no NTR can you add an option that tones down how gross the antagonist is? It's not technically ntr but having a character in the background blackmailing and raping girls is a pretty massive turn off, even if we don't actually see it happen. Would be way easier to stomach if he was just blackmailing them for nudes or something and doesn't actually succeed in defiling them.

Final words:

Natsumi Love Story is both an open-world dating-sim visual novel, or a simple visual novel, depending on which type you choose to play when you start the game. It is no longer a kinetic visual novel as there will be multiple routes and multiple endings now.
