Heart City Stories Ep.2: Office Rivals
Overview:
You and your co-worker Nanako have always had a bitter rivalry. Finally, on the order of your boss, you two have to cooperate for once. What bottled up feelings will this predicament reveal? Will it reignite your long-lost feelings for Nanako? Where did it all go wrong between you and her? And how will she eventually help you to reconnect what you’ve lost in touch with: that there is more to life than just being a productive workaholic?

FAQ: will there be NTR (netorare)?
Will this VN has netorare?
No, in fact none of my stuff will ever have netorare. There probably will be future stories with similar elements like netori or cheating, but nothing like netorare that puts the MC into a cuckolded circumstances.
The reason is simple: I’m not into it, which means I don’t have the inner familiarity to make a story of that genre.
- If I made a netorare story, it would not be genuine, it would not be good.
- If I made one, I would be lying to players who genuinely love netorare.
- If I made one, it would be bad and so fake.
- If I made one, I would be wasting the time of netorare lovers.
- If I made one, I would be stealing some interests away from actual netorare devs.
- My stuff is always story-first, kinks-second.
This is important: Whatever you’ll ever see in my works that make you’re hopeful it’s netorare, it’s not. It may be a cliffhanger, a drama, or for suspense, but that’s all. Secondary characters also have their own lives, their own spouses. Every creepy ‘antagonist’, if any, will never get far with being a creep.
Please, support actual NTR devs who are genuinely love their stories, the same way I am genuine and committed to my slice-of-life stories. I’m not into netorare, but I can relate to the devs who enjoy creating their favorite genres. There are many devs who don’t have enough support, but they love what they do, including other netorare devs. Support their work so that they can continue. ♥
Cheers and love~
