Over the last months, I've been asked a lot of recurring questions. In order to avoid people asking the same thing over and over, here's a small FAQ. Don't hesitate to suggest other topics in the comments. Just like for the game itself, feedback is always appreciated!
I have absolutely no idea. I'm not planning much more than one or two updates in...

Hello everyone!
Following yesterday's release of version 0.11 and Act IX, I got a lot of feedback concerning Chapter 26.
Most of you seem to have reservations about the place of Nathan in this chapter. Most notably, the way he seems to be set-up as a "second boyfriend". While I want to give Nathan a special place in the story, my goal is not to have him act as another boyfriend to L...

Netorase Phone version 0.11 is now available!
This version adds Act IX, made up of chapters 24 to 26. It also includes improvements to the Memories app, allowing you to select your relationship Tendency when loading a Memory.
I hope you'll enjoy this update and its content.
Hello everyone, and welcome to another Tuesday Showcase.
Today, I'm sharing a small preview of Chapter 25. This one sees Laura receiving an invitation from Oliver, her new bull, to join him at his flat, for an obvious purpose.
Laura decides that, on top of having some fun, it could be a nice opportunity to tease Nathan. So, instead of telling you everything that happens, she include...

Hello everyone, and welcome to another Tuesday Showcase.
First, I just want to say that I got Covid a few days ago, meaning I wasn't as productive as I would have liked. I hope you'll understand.
I wasn't completely idle though. Chapter 24 is basically done, and I've worked on adding comments to SquareGram.
Chapter 24 is a direct follow up to Chapter 23. Now that Laura ...

Netorase Phone version 0.10 is now available!
This version adds Act VIII, made up of chapters 21 to 23. While Chapter 23 is quite small, Chapters 21 and 22 make up for it by being both longer than any other chapter. Act VIII is 65% longer than Act VII, which was previously the largest one. And while it has a bit less pictures, I think you'll enjoy its story, and what it opens for the futu...

Hello everyone, and welcome to another Tuesday Showcase.
Today, I'll give you a small preview of Chapters 21 & 22. But before starting, I'll have to amend what I said in last week's showcase.
In this update, I said Act VIII would include Chapters 21 and 22.
But Chapter 21 became so huge that I had to split it in two. In consequence, it is now Chapters 21 and 22. The Chapte...

Hello everyone, and welcome to another Tuesday Showcase.
Today, I want to talk about Chapter 22. I've started working on both Chapters 21 & 22, going from one to the other when inspiration strikes. These two have proven quite hard to tackle, because they're both quite pivotal to the game (for reasons I won't spoil too much).
I will also alter the usual structure of the game a bi...

Version 0.9 is now available!
This version introduces Chapters 19 and 20, making up the first two thirds of Act VII, title "Experimentations".

Hello everyone, and welcome to a Tuesday Showcase absolutely NOT written in a hurry because I had not seen the time!
Today, a very small preview of Chapter 20, which will be part of version 0.9, to be released on August 20th.

A few people have asked me about Ashley's relationship with Nathan. More specifically, if they had ever slept together before Ashley introduced him to Laura.
That was a question I often wondered about, without being able to decide for myself, so today, I'm asking you: in your opinion, has Ashley ever slept with Nathan before?

Hello everyone, and welcome to our Tuesday Showcase!
Before giving you a preview of version 0.9, I'd like to address the state of the game.
As most of you have noticed, the rewrite of the Messages system didn't completely remove the soft-lock issues.
Basically, most of these issues are due to the game code being initially made for a 2 hours game built in three days. Its succes...

Hello everyone,
Version 0.8 is now available!
This version is mostly a "technical update", focusing on improving functionalities, and ironing out Part 1, from Act 1 to Act 6. It also includes the tendency system in the story itself, making you decide during a discussion with Laura if you want, in your relationship with her, to be Dominant, Submissive, or neither.

Hello everyone!
Just like last week, I don't have much to show you. Version 0.8 being a "general improvements" update, there isn't a lot of content to display.
Speaking of improvements, though, I improved the saving system to allow you to rename your save files. On top of that, if you have Gaming Mode enabled, the save files display your current or last played chapter, and your curr...

Version 0.8 being focused on improving already existing content, and these last few days being dedicated to the Messages systems rewrite, I don't have much to show you today.
But I can at least show you a small preview of 4 new pictures that will be added to the already existing content!

Hello everyone!
As I said in my previous update, I am currently rewriting the messages system, in order to correct the soft locking issues.
I'm facing a tough decision, though: should I focus on releasing a version 0.7.2 as soon as possible to let you enjoy the first 6 acts properly, or should I work on 0.8, giving me more time to make sure every system works correctly, but leaving ...

Hello everyone!
Despite my efforts working on version 0.7, softlock issues persist in the last update.
I've started rewriting the messages system, in order to only process a single scene at a time. The system was made to be able to have multiple characters texting you simultaneously, but I'm not using it, since it was a bit annoying for the player.
This rewrite should, I hope,...

Just as planned, here is version 0.7 of Netorase Phone.
This version adds the sixth act, called "Going Steady", made of three chapters. It marks the end of what I consider Part 1 of the story.
It also introduces a reworked gallery, that allows you to display pictures acquired from previous runs.
As always, I'd love to hear your feedback, especially c...

Hello everyone!
With version 0.7 releasing in a few days, I'll soon start working on version 0.8, which will focus on improving Part 1, including Acts I to VI (chapters 1 to 18, the last three being part of version 0.7).
If you are having specific feedback on these chapters, now is the best time to share them. Once version 0.8 releases, these chapters will be considered "done", an...
Hello everyone, and welcome to our second Tuesday Showcase!
Today, a small preview of Chapters 16 to 18, making up Act VI: Going Steady.
These chapters are the final part of what I consider Part 1, which focuses on the Laura & Nathan relationship. In my opinion, going "steady" with the first bull is a great way to build enough confidence into the lifestyle to eventually start mo...

Hello everyone!
Version 0.6.3 of Netorase Phone is available on the release post. This update adds a failsafe against soft locks.

Version 0.6, released yesterday, seems to have a lot of issues with softlocks. The game stops progressing at some points.
Versions 0.6.1 and 0.6.2 were supposed to correct specific softlocks, but it seems the problem lies deeper.

One of the most common feedback on the game is that people would enjoy seeing pictures of the Main Character with Laura, most notably in sex scenes.
Currently, I deliberately avoided that in order for the MC to be as faceless as possible, in order to allow everyone to identify with him. As soon as he get pictured, that goes out of ...

Sadly, that means save files created with version 0.5 will be unusable from now on. I am absolutely sorry.
