The game is very short and boring. You're expected to do a couple of minigames over and over to unlock content and the content itself is basic and is little more then a single stationary image and a ton of over the top text. This is not a game worth $10, there just ins't enough content both in terms of the H-game content and the actual gameplay, you spend 90% of your time in a single room repeating the same couple of tasks the entire game.

On Adventure difficulty, you begin with all upgrades and unlocks available from the start. This allows you to have full control over the NTR aspect of the game. As a result, you can choose your own ending, as it will be nearly impossible to lose unless you intentionally decide to do so.

Deceived by the Host is a narrative-focused indie RPG developed and published by Seiheiki Times that blends slice-of-life simulation with visual novel storytelling and relationship drama. Set in a contemporary university environment, the game follows Hiroshi Kawada, a third-year college student attempting to balance academics, part-time work, and his relationship with his girlfriend, Nanami Miyasaka. What begins as a relatively grounded portrayal of young adult life gradually evolves into a story shaped by suspicion, emotional tension, and the fragile nature of trust. The structure of the game revolves around daily life management intertwined with branching narrative decisions. Players guide Hiroshi through his routine—attending classes, working shifts, managing finances, and spending time with Nanami. These choices affect relationship values, mood, and the direction of key story events. Rather than relying on combat or traditional RPG progression systems, the game emphasizes dialogue, timing, and emotional decision-making. Every interaction carries potential consequences, reinforcing the idea that small misunderstandings or neglected responsibilities can snowball into larger conf…

Good slow burn NTR game but on the more realistic side which makes it a bit darker to me somehow. Be sure to download the patch.

If you like VN this game is ok. The translation is really well done, but the game itself is a bit boring in its gameplay loop. There's a small list of task you can do each day, but you are limited to move in your room. There's a couple mini games, but there are options to skip them. All that is "OK", but my only big complaint is that there's no dialog art for other characters except the main girl, and there's A LOT of text between characters. So it's kind of annoying to keep track of each character and just read the interaction instead of actually seeing a character react. The story is not that compelling so visuals would have been great to have. As it's stand if you can get it for a BIG discount, its not a bad experience if you don't have anything else to play.
