Questions from the stalls
What is this site?
A programme, in the theatre sense, for story-driven adult games that carry the netorare tag on Lewdzone. Each game is billed with its developer, a one-line logline, its status, its act count and an estimate of its length. The aim is to let you decide whether to commit to a story before you download a gigabyte of it.
What counts as an “act”?
Every version Lewdzone has recorded for the game. A story in its 39th act has had 39 releases. A completed story in one act was released once, finished. The current act is the version number as the developer wrote it, so expect “0.2.63.0” beside “Ch. 6” beside “Final”; developers number acts the way playwrights name them, which is to say however they like.
How is “story length” estimated?
From the download size, mostly, nudged by the act count. Under 150 MB is a short piece. Under 600 MB is an evening. Under 2 GB is several evenings. Under 5 GB is a long run. Above that is a saga. A story with thirty or more acts is bumped up one step, because that many releases usually means that much script. Size is a blunt instrument: a game full of large renders can be shorter than its file size suggests, and a text-heavy one can be longer. Treat it as a programme note, not a stopwatch.
What does “Ongoing — last act added” mean?
The developer lists the game as still in development, and the date is when Lewdzone recorded its most recent version. If that date is more than a year old, the serial may have stopped without anyone saying so. The “Still running” collection filters to stories with an act in the last four months, which is the honest version of ongoing.
Where are the downloads?
On Lewdzone, always. Around 260 stories can also be played in the browser on Xgame9; those show a second button. This site never hosts files, never links to file hosts, and never links to search pages. Every “Download on Lewdzone” button goes to that game’s own page there.
Why is a game I know missing?
Three possibilities. It does not carry the netorare or NTR tag on Lewdzone. It was withdrawn there (takedown, moved, or no working download). Or it falls under the network-wide exclusions, which remove anything presenting characters under 18 or real people without consent; those rules are not adjustable per site and we do not discuss individual cases.
Are the blurbs written by the developers?
No. Each logline and blurb is written for this site from the game’s own facts: its Lewdzone description, tags, engine and status. The “Synopsis” section on a billing is a short abridgement of the developer’s own description, kept to forty words, with a link to the full text on Lewdzone.
How often is the programme reprinted?
Weekly. New stories join, updated stories move up, withdrawn stories are struck. Nothing is edited by hand between reprints.
Can I search by more than one thing?
Yes. The index at /search/ takes a title or developer and lets you narrow by status, engine, platform and theme at once. Leave the search box empty and it becomes a browser for combinations the printed programme does not have pages for.
