Friendly Blonding Mini-Review

 
Title: Friendly Blonding
Release date: 2022-04-08
Developer & publisher: Infidelisoft

What do you think about the following story idea? A guy is unsatisfied that his girlfriend does not want to dye her hair blonde, so he asks his friend for help convincing her. Netorare ensues.

I think I have a pretty good tolerance for stupid NTR premises, so the concept of a little kinetic novel called "Friendly Blonding" didn't bother me that much. There were plenty of other things that bothered me regarding this game, so a stupid premise paled in comparison.

Let me be straight with you and say that "Friendly Blonding" looks and reads incredibly cheap. It's like two students decided to make a netorare game, so one of them wrote the story, while the other one did the art during the morning classes, and they finalized the product in the afternoon while drinking something hard and not entirely legal.
If only your sprite ever changed positions...
The main protagonist of this game is Katie - a sporty average girl student. And yes, she is the protagonist of this story. There is a secondary protagonist - that would be her boyfriend Marcus, however the POV scenes are heavily Katie-centric, with less than 20 % of the screentime given to Marcus. The relationship of the unhappy couple is barely explored, which is a cardinal sin in a netorare game. It's vital to establish a loving relationship for the couple before breaking it down, but sadly that is completely skipped here. I even felt that the game would have worked better as a female protagonist corruption game without a NTR aspect, considering how little actual interaction between the two exists in the game.

So, yes, as I have mentioned, Marcus is peeved that Katie doesn't want to go blonde. A reasonable position to have, as everyone knows that blondes have more fun, so he asks his "friend" Lucas for help. It's just that Lucas decides to go and seduce Katie himself. Why? Who knows. That is not explored either. Probably because devs wanted to make a NTR game.
The attack of the faceless man!
Lucas seduces Katie very easily, as she doesn't put up any fight. He changes her looks, he changes her sexual preferences, and eventually makes her a slut for the whole university. What is Marcus' reaction when he finds out? None wahtsoever. He basically says: "Oh, well". Yet another cardinal sin for a netorare game, as the salty tears of a cuck are a balm for every NTR player's soul. There is zero time to explore any emotional ramifications of his friend stealing his girlfriend, considering the game is very short - I have finished it under and hour and a half.

I usually love the changes a girl undergoes in sexual corruption games, from bimbofying her looks to slutifying her outlook, but that is barely worth anything here. There is no coercion, no struggle, no anguished reaction of the boyfriend. And the changes themselves come too easy and too fast.
Open season on her ass.
So, the "plot" makes no attempts to make a compelling netorare game. What about the graphics? Cheap as dirt too. The art wouldn't necessarily be bad too, but it lacks any effort too. Some of the CGs are just repetitions of the previous CGs with a different background, while others pretend to show Katie having sex, but she is just surrounded by disembodied cocks, without even an outline of the guys fucking her. The main antagonist Lucas doesn't even have a sprite, and doesn't appear in CGs either, outside of a few molestation pics, and his disembodied cock in the proper H-CGs. You know what's even funnier? There are so few CGs, that some of the sex scenes are actually text-only!
No CG for you, infidels!
Seriously, this is the kind of game that you will forget immediately after playing, that is if you even knew it existed in the first place. Additionally, relatively frequent spelling mistakes decorate this mud cake just beautifully. I'd say it's not worth playing even if you are a huge NTR fan.
