[Summary]
Two years ago, Chiho and her high-school sweetheart decided to marry.
But not all fairy-tales have happy endings, and this is no fairy-taleβ¦
As fate would have it the young couple found your advert and came to stay.
Corrupting such a true love would be hard - even for a scoundrel like you. Luckily, like every bad landlord, you were friends with the devil herself: Lilith....

Review:
Another NTR masterpiece coming through!
Some of you might have already heard or played this labor of love project:
NTRaholic is a simulation game inspired by the legendary classic "NTR Legend", similar to
NTR Dojo. (Dev has so much respect that he even mentions it in the main menu)
Although NTR Legend is considered by many the godfather of NTR Simulation games, it does not mean it offers the best graphics or gameplay. While still an awesome game in its own right, I'd say it is better to treat the OG as the foundation for other developers to yoink, twist, and greatly improve the formula upon.
Released in early 2023, NTRaholic isn't a new title. It was a lot more barebones and buggy in its debut than its current version (3.3.3u). So with a lot more content and polish, I believe it is finally worthy of being recommended as one of the best NTR simulations that stands shoulder to shoulder next to its popular relatives.
Keep in mind that the current version is STILL not final, but very close to it.
Given that we're missing a bunch of scenes and CGs related to endings etc (based on Dev's updated on their Twitter), it is safe to say that you won't be missing out much if you play now compared to the final version.
π As the summary says - it's the classic husband and wife NTR story.
You already know the drill: slowly corrupt the wife, as you let her partner suspect, but not entirely be sure of infidelity until all the main actors are too far gone into their fetish and lust, to the point that banging in the same room with everyone is just part of the daily routine.
But what makes a good NTR game to begin with?
As I've said countless posts, it's all about context.
If a couple enters a dark alley, and the girl gets it down with a local dude next to the guy, the entertainment value we'll get out of that scene will vary based on the game showing us the depth of relationship between the couple, as for all we know they could be complete strangers.
Tiramisu manages to convey the NTR theme wonderfully by creating a story that isn't too farfetched from a possible reality, putting the main girl Chiho in the wringer, having to choose the lesser evil between losing her beloved, to losing her morality, when blackmailed by her landlord the MC Ryunosuke.
The story takes place in Ryu's apartment, and expands to Chiho's flat, the streets, and a special area at the final phase, where you now get to eat the whole cake with the goal of having an honest to god man raising someone else's kid.
Empowered by his Succubus mate Lilith, who he made a bet with to screw Chiho within 30 days or he'll forfeit his soul - Ryunosuke wastes no time to prey on Chiho as soon as she comes to do house chores in his apartment as part of their rental agreement.
πΉοΈ The gameplay consists of different minigames through the entire progression, most controlled with left and right mouse clicks with some exceptions (fitting the one handed style), split into different phases.
β οΈ Before you jump in, you'll want to do one minigame of work, where you can relatively easily earn enough money to buy an item that gets you $300 every time you sleep, which basically nullifies the cash grinding that you'll often need in order to keep progressing.
In the first phase you need to excite Chiho with your light advances until she becomes more susceptible to physical contact.
Then a cool minigame initiates where you must listen to her heartbeats as you continue exciting her with different caress actions until she climax.
On her next visit you'll already be playing drinking RPS, where one thing leads to another, and by then you hammer the last nail in her purity coffin when installing a spy cam to catch the madam red handed pleasuring herself while thinking about you.
After being confronted with hard evidence, Chiho is at your complete mercy.
New mechanics will also come into play, main ones being the lust and c*ckolding meters that open up new H possibilities as you fill them up.
Keep grinding Chiho to score in more ways than one, all while teasing her husband, until he too realizes he's better off living as a mop to your feet. (but going to far will result in game over)
π I love H games that get straight to the point, and NTRaholic is no different.
On your very first invitation to Chiho you already get to grind her with clothes on, which are also gone soon after. It does in a way feel that the woman is too easy, but acceptable given the circumstances, the constant teasing of the couple, the plethora of H pixel animations, and of course the entertaining dialogues that I absolutely recommend not skipping.
Pixel animations are pretty nice, not the best out there, but the models are large and detailed, including different camera angles plus an X-ray. So all the good parts are seen very clearly, which cannot be said about many other pixel works that resort to small textures scaling, having less of an impact during H scenes.
Every main event is presented with a full screen animated CG (not pixel) narrated with dialogues, unlike the pixel animations that are simply there and "just happen".
These are honestly some very hot and detailed scenes that I'm glad to have as a different art style, giving even more sexual depth to the game.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All in all, getting some action is as simple as giving Chiho a call, and progressing can be done quickly with the hint doll in your apartment.
The most important thing that makes it such a good NTR simulation, is that content is
easily accessible with minimal repetition of resource grinding if played wisely.
The common charm to NTR Legend, Dojo, and holic, is the density of H content in such a compact format. Nobody sends you on adventures to slay monsters and solve puzzles for some pussy.
Just do the right task, grab a drink, and enjoy unapologizing peak H content π
