Netorase Phone: Iris

Editorial Has potential

Netorase Phone: Iris is a linear, character-driven cuckold visual novel that leans hard into the FMC's agency and dominance. Community response splits sharply: players who embrace the kink praise the recent art improvements (multiple angles, better rendering of the couple), the diorama progression system, and Iris's character development, though some note she's become less grating over updates. However, a vocal segment finds the game's forced-choice design—where the MC says no but Iris proceeds anyway—undermines the "negotiated cuckold" fantasy; these players feel it crosses into NTR rather than consensual netorase. The developer has been clear this is intentional: the story is about an MC who *wants* to be dominated and cuckolded, and players uncomfortable with that premise or who expected more control are not the target audience. Recent updates have also introduced technical friction: DRM unlock requirements (solvable but annoying), save-corruption issues in earlier versions, and some chapter-progression bugs that persist for some users despite claimed fixes in newer builds. If you enjoy a confident, take-charge FMC in a cuckold scenario and can accept a largely linear narrative, the creative work itself is solid and improving. If you need player agency over relationship decisions or prefer a gentler exploration of the dynamic, this game will frustrate you. The current build is playable but carries lingering stability quirks that may affect your save or progression.
