Preface
After experiencing the top-tier masterpiece Summer Clover
Mango Party has totally nailed the game experience
I recently got curious about their new release, *NTR Office*
This game is a pretty small production
The whole thing just moves along a timeline with choices
The 8-bit game area reminds me of my childhood (Devil Summoner)
So, what’s this game really like? Let’s check it out with Sony today
Game Background
You’re a hardworking corporate drone, just a cog in the company machine
But then a **blond-haired manager** swoops in
He squeezes you, dumping unreasonable tasks on your plate
You bite your tongue, until your super “stacked” girlfriend boss
Steps in to defend you and gets on the blond manager’s bad side
From then on, your girlfriend becomes the blond guy’s target
Can you find the incriminating evidence and make the right choices
To set everything straight
Or will a string of bad decisions lead to you losing everything and becoming a single dog
Gameplay
First off, the game has four main areas
**Old Residential Area, Streets, Company, New Residential Area**
These are the main places where you’ll trigger events
Movement within the company includes
**Office Area, Manager’s Office, Meeting Room, Lab, Restroom, Warehouse**
Honestly, that’s not too many maps
Interactions are pretty straightforward
**Manager (Kento Okada), Accountant, Boss (Yui Saijo), Doctor (Shiho Takagi), Assistant**
Events that trigger in the game will always have an **exclamation mark prompt**
At the same time, if you’re unsure about the impact of an event
The system is super thoughtful and gives you an **NTR warning sign**
You can save before any key choice
(Trust me, on your second playthrough you’ll start just messing around)
Saving your game every day is a basic skill for a gentleman
The backend system also has a communication function
But it’s one-sided, just giving you messages
More like you’re silently lurking in the “Company Pervert Group”
As your boss-girlfriend’s descent progresses
You’ll get related video and audio records for repeated viewing

Plot & Strategy
Actually, starting on Day 4, you’ll have to make all sorts of choices
Let me tell you about my playthroughs
Pure Love Ending
First, from Day 4, avoid letting your girlfriend directly interact with the blond guy
Collect all sorts of evidence as quickly as possible
Then, by Day 7, you’ll have all the blond guy’s evidence
At the same time, the chairman will kick the blond guy out
And you’ll take his place as manager
Finally, Saijo will come into your office
And end the playthrough with a deep kiss
Personally, I think this ending is the best for a pure love fan like me QQ
But it really cuts down on a lot of fun
Especially since a pure love ending is just pure love
There aren’t any juicy scenes
But that’s just how the game is
I have to witness all the endings myself
Depraved Ending
If you pick **NTR** for all the choices
Your messages will come super fast
Satisfying the blond guy until Day 10
You’ll get dragged into a meeting, then realize the client is messing with your girlfriend
You freak out and bolt from the office
But you can’t sleep, so you head to the convenience store for a bite
You’ll run into **Shiho** being harassed by a bunch of guys
If you don’t choose to step in
You’ll get a Steam achievement
At the same time, a new scene will pop up in the “Nerdy Losers Group” later
You’ll get a text inviting you to a restaurant
That’s where you’ll get dumped by Yui in true NTR style
At this point, the depraved storyline is locked in
After that, it’s just a bunch of scenes that totally wrecked me
Those visuals were just too beautiful
If you’re curious about what happens, you can check it out
Here are some mild screenshots for your reference
NTR Counterattack Ending
After choosing **NTR** for all options
Again, on Day 10
This time, you choose to step in and save **Shiho**
Just when you’re feeling totally defeated and heading home
Shiho suddenly hugs you
Turns out, that just flipped your dark switch
You effortlessly take down Shiho
And become her master
When you get to the restaurant, Yui breaks up with you
But by now, you’re not lost anymore
In a fit of pure rage
You decide to reclaim Yui
And tell her you’ve found a way to deal with the blond guy
With the help of your new slave, Shiho
You get the evidence
And expose the blond guy’s crimes
Finally, after you get promoted
You kick off a happy three-way ending
Thoughts
Overall, if you’re like me and tend to overthink things
Then let me tell you
There’s really no need
You won’t suddenly find some weird item here
Just follow the story and you’ll be fine
**Live 2D** is still Mango Party’s strong suit
The art quality this time is really top-notch
The three story branches let you experience NTR from all angles
And that moment of reversal really gives you that
“Screw it, I’m going all in” feeling
For the bang for your buck in this game
All those animations make it a really worthwhile choice
It also raises the bar for AVG games
Our appetites have definitely been spoiled, haven’t they
Quick Tips
I only noticed this on my second playthrough
If you don’t choose to help the assistant before Shiho’s conditioning is complete
Your pervert group chat will be missing the “Nerdy Losers Group”
Gameplay: ★★★
Art: ★★★★★
Value: ★★★★★
Catch you on the Sony Gentleman’s Adult Game Express next time 😀
