Lust and Agony in Netori: The Ritual of Despair — NTR ADV Hits Steam Wishlist, Q3 2026 Launch

Rocket Penguin’s new adult ADV Lust and Agony in Netori: The Ritual of Despair just went live on the Steam wishlist page, flipping the “quiet retirement in the countryside” setup into a full-blown NTR scenario. The doujin circle drops players into the increasingly popular “cursed rural village” subgenre, with a Traditional Chinese build penciled in for Q3 2026 — if NTR or rural-horror tropes are your lane, wishlist now.

A Retirement Move That Becomes a Slow Nightmare

The opening plays a familiar tune: a husband leaves city life behind under the banner of retirement, takes his wife Chinatsu and their daughter to his old hometown, and they settle into a small village called Netori. On the surface, it’s exactly the kind of place city dwellers fantasize about — the annual festival is a big deal, the population is actually growing in defiance of regional trends, and the villagers treat each other like extended family. Postcard material.

The cost of that postcard, though, is a single inherited rule no one is allowed to break: in Netori, marriage isn’t treated as a fence — “The line between husband and wife should never stand in the way of love between men and women.” What sounds like a quaint local custom in chapter one slowly turns into something a lot less wholesome.

Two Weeks. Multiple Suitors. One Heroine in the Middle.

Chinatsu isn’t being eyed by just one man. The father-in-law Hoshikawa Boyu, the current village chief Netori Ryuzo, and a rotating cast of other villagers all start closing in from different angles. Two weeks out is the annual Netori Festival, and every reaction Chinatsu has, every choice she makes during that 14-day countdown, nudges her toward a different ending.

6 Endings, an Arousal Meter, and Layered CG — Surprisingly Hardcore

On the ending count: this game ships six fully written routes, and the branching is all driven by Chinatsu’s social choices in the village. Possible outcomes include getting absorbed into the father-in-law’s family unit, becoming a central piece of the village’s festival apparatus, or being completely swallowed by the village’s darker machinery. Each ending gets full narrative payoff, not a single still and a fade-to-black — solid news for completionists.

The systems backbone is more polished than the average ADV: maps stay tight, the recollection mode lets you replay scenes with adjustable lewdness stages, and the game even includes in-engine hints toward branch conditions. Combine that with the volume of layered character art and the visual contrast between early-game Chinatsu and her later mental state, and the adult-scene depth here lands well above the genre baseline.
