Nobaz, calling you out here. Good characters and plot and pretty dang long. Also pretty innovative perspective and twist. They're not "basically all the same".

One of the better AS games IMO.

Also first time ripping CG set so if anything's fucked here feel free to replace.

Wow nagayori and gentle sasaki styles are identical in atelier sakura games

NTL is best,
However,as long as some conditions are fulfilled, the follow-up of the end1 will be opened(end2),this is a bad end,it's a pity.
Just looking at end1 is not bad,if there can be better development, it will be better.

A summary would be appreciated.

Base +20

Summary of story here, NOTE that I am not versed with Japanese nor am I proficient at translations, but this is a pretty accurate understanding of the whole story since it's not too complicated overall. There might be small details that I miss or misunderstand here and there but overall it doesn't affect the story. This game is very solid, pretty good if you are a sucker for some of the scenarios in there and the characters align with your taste. As in recent times Atelier Sakura is pretty underwhelming, this is a great upgrade from recent games and one of their better works. But there is ONE MAJOR problem towards the end that many people complain about that I will get to......

(Obviously spoilers so if you don't want spoilers please do not read this summary)

Additional notes I make will be in (brackets).
I'll refer to main character as Man or Us, the heroine as Yukana, her husband as husband and an additional guy towards the end that I will mention when needed......

Start of game we are a Man who works an office job, has a strict female boss called Yukana, us and workmates sometimes joke and fantasize about her since she is very pretty, but she's very demanding at work so most people are just scared of her, even us. One day Yukana comes to us to ask to meet up and talk about personal stuff after work, her husband shows up there at the cafe too, there the husband reveals to us that he wishes for us to fuck Yukana, NTR play since he has that fetish and that Yukana chose us as the candidate, Man accepts and we agree on a time for the first sex. During the first sex it's revealed she's inexperienced and highly sensitive, so she gets messed up. Then she tries to get MC to lie with her to husband that it was a normal sex and nothing worth mentioning since it's gonna be very awkward to tell her husband that Man is so much better than him and it was an ecstatic time, (You can choose to lie with her and it ends NTR play and ends the game, canon you are supposed to reveal the truth) but MC reveals truth, husband gets provoked and shocked, Yukana is embarrassed and goes on to troll and be extra mean to us at work. Later on, husband asks us to fuck Yukana again and we do that, 2nd time they are more comfortable with each other and even shares a chill bed talk together with jokes and things like that, then Man offers a 2nd round which Yukana agrees to but to open the camera to record again since she doesn't want to cheat, already closer and better relationship.

Then husband stops play (I think he pays us too to thank us) and they resume normal lives but are a lot nicer to each other. Then one stormy night Man shares a lone time with her at office, when they enter elevator it has a black out because of lightning and cutting off power. Then the 2 share some talks and hold hands closer to keep warmth, here Yukana reveals to us that she likes us (very likely before the NTR play but I can't be sure) then she uses excuse of it being cold to get closer to us, the 2 embrace each other closely, MC couldn't resist her sweet breath right in his face and makes out with her, then the elevator resumes normal state and they separate and leave (she also told him to keep this a secret). Later they have a business trip and while Man is deeply thinking about her in his hotel room, Yukana goes into the room and they have sex, she also offered to have raw sex and initially told him to pull out but towards the end, she told him to cum inside since it's safe day and he creampied her (I don't remember whether she gave a short msg to husband to tell him they are having sex), then they share a very sweet talk on the bed and make out with each other before falling asleep, waking up time is late and they hurry to work. They do it 2nd night too, sharing sweet flirt on the bed as well as making out before sleeping and after waking up.

Some time later, Husband found out about this and and asks Yukana and Man to keep their distance, (This part I am a bit foggy about, he seems to have a bad relationship with Yukana as it seems he ticked off Yukana, although I can't be sure whether it's just because of the NTR nights at the business trip or there's more to their failing marriage). Some time passes, but one day Yukana msgs us to have sex at a hotel (I think it's during their work time too) because she's so pent up with frustration and they go absolutely wild there, making out like lovers the second they enter room and all raw creampies and kissing throughout the long sex. Man also confesses to her and she is super happy he loves her even when she is married and they enter proper lover relationship. Then she gives him a boobjob one night at office and their relationship continues for some time with her now teasing and trolling him more at the work place, like interrogating him in-front of his co-workers why there's a lewd photo of a woman in his phone with her face not shown, when it's actually her but only us and her knows this. Here game ends and it's happy end right?...... Well nope, because if you play through again it continues the story which is the TRUE END because the whole story is 1 route and there's no alternate ending besides the early one on that's a game over.

The TRUE END here..... Some time later she reveals husband wants a new NTR play and they got a new candidate, she promises to us not to go over the top with the random guy and stay with MC. But turns out she fell for the new guy almost instantly at the first NTR session because he is somehow better than MC at sex or they are even? (not sure what was said here). Then Man despairs for some time and one day receives msg that Yukana was supposed to send to husband and it's her with the new guy (Kouichi, Marina 2 AV guy) posing lewdly encouraging her husband for his work and also saying that Kouichi and her are about to make love for a whole day. Man after that is devastated and unable to focus at work, at work party he is an absolute wreck and Yukana takes him home to his place, and final scene of story is us making a move on Yukana and Yukana rejecting us, saying she loves her husband after all and tells us to forget their relationship which was a short dream, (and everyone can tell here, that it's obviously a lie and that she is just in a love affair with Kouichi now and eventually she will get seeded and impregnated by Kouichi). THE END.

The CGs were high quality again with Nagayori's work, Voice Actress for Yukana was very good in switching from the monotone Female boss voice to the love struck wife who wants to keep things a secret.
There were some very hot, sexy parts of the story (My opinion but in general people think these are great), the chill talk during their 2nd NTR sex, the elevator scene was EXCEPTIONAL, very good atmosphere, makes you on edge and the making out was hot. The business trip pillow flirt talk was great and the subsequent making out as it shows Yukana is truly in love (there may be doubts after the end but she really was in love). Obviously the Hotel wild sex was insane as she fell completely for us and is just revealing it. The story made sense and was paced well UNTIL the end.....

BUT major problem obviously is the ending, it's actually pretty impressive how they switched us from the guy doing the NTR suddenly to the guy getting cucked, but problem is that there was literally no build up... AT ALL, the time it took for Yukana to fall for the other guy was literally around 4 minutes, she says there's new NTR play, she avoids us a bit afterwards (at work she is uneasy when talking to us the first time after sex with Kouichi, very likely she had something in her underwear planted) , she reveals Kouichi is amazing, and afterwards she is basically all for him and dumped you. Now you may say well it's just personal preference about not getting NTRed instead of doing NTR. The problem isn't getting NTRed, it's that the whole story was about Yukana slowly falling for us and keeping more and more secrets and becoming lovers with us not just purely because we are better at sex but also the companionship and connection as we work together all the time and through the NTR play, we were able to steal her from her husband physically and mentally. The game was never about us corrupting her to become a total slut who gets god knows how many guys inside her, yet that's basically what happened at the end saying Yukana is completely corrupted, Or if it's genuinely about her moving on to her true lover and bringing back Kouichi from Marina 2 just for the sake of it.... Then it's even worse.

The ending felt rushed like they made a draft for it and went with it because there wasn't enough time or something and I am almost certain that if they worked on the game for more time, it would be a totally different ending, even different from the fake ending 1 and maybe more twists, but they chose the most lackluster one that satisfies well... nobody. HOWEVER, besides the huge problem, it's very solid, Yukana is hot af and main guy is chill.

There's no real implication that Yukana starts an actual affair with the new guy, she just cuts MC off because she realizes she's being completely unfair to him given that not only is she married, she's also causing him distress because of the ntr play with her husband which MC clearly states that he's not even remotely happy with even before it actually begins and even more obviously so once it's begun.

It wasn't out of the blue or unexpected or anything at all, it's the obvious conclusion to what is essentially a selfish fling on her part. If she's going to stay with the husband she doesn't have much choice, and the choice isn't difficult when MC's sex can be replaced.

Re- Zaghurim, First of all appreciate your upload of the CGs. Of course the part with the new guy is never explicitly said so I could be wrong and I'm not 100% sure about all the details too. But I mean at that point it's the most obvious thing to read based on what happened and the billions other stories from these games, hentai as well as life examples, she's lied already in the past for 1 lover, and the last thing we see her sexually with is the new guy of the NTR play seemingly engrossed in it and she completely ignores MC afterwards, she mentions she loves her husband still yet he plays absolutely no roles in the end at all besides setting up for her and the new guy. And last time we saw the husband, was when she was unhappy with him and him unhappy too. Maybe I missed some dialogue about the struggle for her husband but I do not remember something like that.

The true end is however, definitely way out of the blue and one of the last things people can think of. I mean seriously I finished the game thinking it's the end and then I saw 2 untouched scenes and some empty CGs that made me think there was some alternate path in the game that called for extra sex scenes or maybe it's her teasing her husband or even it's some time later MC and her have to part ways and it's some happy farewell scene or last hookup...... When it was just the continuation..... And the whole losing her thing happened in under 4 minutes, we literally get thrown into a convo with her about a new NTR play and 2 mins later she's corrupted and bunch of empty dialogue about days passing and MC feeling like trash. This is the one single common complaint people have about this game, on japanese reviews as well as some other small reflections, that the story holds up strong then falls downhill super fast at the end.

But this is definitely one of the better AS games like you said no question about it.

Sounds like the Devs went for an asspull ending according to other reviews I've read. A bait and switch ending. I feel you guys. That's why I haven't been touching anything AT Sakura has done for a while.

@ Knightz0806
How do you unlock the last 3 CG? I replay many time but it doesn't give me those last 3 CG, can you help me with this?

Base +3

@OdieSUBW Hello, yes regarding the last 3 CGs and true ending part, at first I had no idea what to do as well. But from what I gather, you need to have a save point at the part after the 1st sex session with Yukana, at the cafe where the 2 are discussing to hide the truth from husband and the things Yukana tells MC to remember to say to lie with her. (You can play from beginning but it's faster with save point obviously)

(Also I'll post the japanese words for the options here so it's easier to notice instead of translating)

There are options for what to say to Husband when lying alongside Yukana as you 2 are rehearsing at the cafe as she is confirming the details with you to make sure you know what to say, to get the missing CGs and scenes, you have to pick "３回" which leads to her jokingly threaten you and it goes back to the dialogue options, then pick "２回", "１回目が５分で２回目も５分だった", "１回目で１回、２回目で２回イった", "１３センチほどあります。" and "真実を話す", from here it's confusing and I just tried everything and it worked so the exact details i don't remember, but either you finish the wrong options and choose the right ones, then continue on and tell the truth like you are supposed to when meeting with the husband to lie with Yukana, or you have to load a save point right after picking the wrong options, to load to the part before the actual lying part with the husband to tell him the truth. Then the game continues on and will go onto the true end after the first fake ending.

Yea what I wrote is really confusing and makes no sense as I admittedly tried it twice since first time didn't work, but definitively it's something to do with the 1st sex session's lying part of the cafe preparation with Yukana as well as the husband part. Hope you get it.

Base +5

@Knightz0806 Okay I got it for what I did was when I got to dialogue option at cafe I picked all the wrong choice first before correct one and after going to the next option I proceed to do the same thing previously picking all wrong choice first before correct one, rinse and repeat for these option in the cafe until the meeting with husband dialogue option where I picked the second choice which lead me to the black screen dialogue option. There I pick the the 1st choice which take me back to the previous husband meeting dialogue option and here I pick the 1st choice and from here the rest is history. Thank for the guide.

this and marina series are in same catalogue, loving marriage couple ntr plays.

the wife loves the cuck husband, so any guy think can ntr steal her away would just get kick out.

in marina series it was the ex-boyfriend, pretty much like mc of this work, want to steal the wife from the husband with all kind of "i love you" and small talk, great sex, cheat sex without report to husband, but one the husband complain, she dropped the dude,

only dude that keep fucking her like sexfriend can stay around.
