At this year’s G-EIGHT game expo, Japanese developer Tiramisu showcased their beloved title, NTRaholic, at the Mango Party booth. Originally slated for a summer release on Steam, plans have shifted towards a fresh remake titled NTRaholic Remix, while the original game will also be separately launched.
What is NTRaholic?
For fans of NTR (Netorare) games, NTRaholic is a familiar title that pays homage to the adult classic, NTR Legend. The game follows the story of a blonde protagonist named Ryunosuke, who, favored by a succubus, enters a conditional exchange that grants him various special abilities. His objective? To woo the new neighbor, a married woman named Chihoko.
New Features in NTRaholic Remix
The remake, NTRaholic Remix, is set to enhance the original framework with a DX remake that significantly upgrades story illustrations, character designs, and environments. The launch has been pushed back to 2025 to accommodate these extensive improvements. One of the noteworthy advancements includes the pixel animations from the original, which will now feature more refined portrayals and detailed HCG scenes. Critical Bliss, the publisher, has announced that the remake will include over 100 animations, indicating a substantial production scale.
Release Timeline Adjustments
Due to the extensive content being developed, the release of NTRaholic Remix has faced multiple delays, with the new date currently set for February 28, 2025, on Steam. In the meantime, Tiramisu continues to work on his personal sequel, titled Community Review.
