Secrets and Boundaries
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, and Android
"Secrets and Boundaries" will follow our main character Aaron (name is customizable) as he starts his freshman year at the illustrious Viktor Khondria University. He will meet many people including several lovely ladies for him to try his luck with, though there are plenty of other guys who are also competing for these ladies' attention.
Similar to "Sharing is Caring", this VN will feature multiple paths for you to follow including Netorase, Netorare, and Netori that will be dependent upon the main character's Confidence and Sharing stats. To clarify, this is how I define those paths:
- Netorase: The MC is dominant and willingly shares/encourages his partner(s) to have sex with others because it turns him on.
- Netorare: The MC is submissive and his partner(s) have sex with others whether he likes it or not, and sometimes without his knowledge. There will also be degradation and humiliation.
- Netori: The MC is dominant and will pursue the ladies regardless of their relationship status with the intent of making them his and his alone.
There will be the option for "swinging" on the Netorase and Netori paths, but this will be completely optional and in the MC's control.

i have a question , does "netorare" in this game (and the other game for that matter) mean just extreme cuckolding (mc is very submissive,partner has max freedom/can break rules...ect), or is it actual serious ntr where mc is completely left behind with serious emotional damage,completely cheated on and relationship completely broken...ect ?
Good question, the difficult bit is that a lot of the NTR genre is subjective and I've tried my best to make the different flavors in my works feel distinct to help with that. The netorare path in Sharing is Caring did have some mild (in my opinion) emotional damage to the MC as the FMC would gaslight and harass him into submission, though there is a point where the MC can walk away from the relationship. In Secrets and Boundaries, so far we haven't delved too deeply into the netorare side of things so there isn't anything too hard just yet. I would describe what you're looking for as "hard netorare", which my games don't really get to that point, at least in my opinion, and it's not something that I really aim for. I aim for more "soft netorare" where there is some mild humiliation/degradation/etc. but nothing too extreme.
I hope this answers your question, I appreciate the thought put into it.
actually i didn't play either games,i'm asking to set my excpectation.
I asked this question cause sometimes there are games tagged NTR,but are actually hard NTS,where mc is very submissive and fmc have complete reign. so i asked if NTR here mean actual serious betrayal then making mc put up with it with fmc not seeing mc in romantic light (ntr) or is it basically a case where fmc is given free reign as part of relationship (doesn't need permission/boundaries) with mc taking role of cuck but both are still connected romantically and she always come back to him (hard nts), as opposed to soft NTS where mc is the dominant one.
but from your answer i get it's still actual ntr (serious betrayal and loss of romance), just not hard NTR overboard humiliation like in some hentai.right?
Right, that's the general idea on the netorare path. Both games do have paths for netorase (where the mc is dominant and wants to share) and netori (mc steals other people's partners) as well.
I recommend you check the Patreon page as that is where I post dev updates most frequently. The short version is I'll be going on hiatus for mental health reasons, but I'm going to post what I have done so far for the next chapter as soon as I have the time to.
Good catch! I am uploading the fixed builds now and they should be ready in a few minutes

I assume this is the same world as SiC. So, aside from some faces we've already seen, can we expect to see more we may recognize?
Yes, most of the main cast and some of the side characters from SiC will appear at least as cameos, if not secondary/tertiary characters in this story as well.
Fantastic start, although could you add the quick save and quick load buttons to the bottom of the screen, I'm pretty reliant on quick saves. Also will there be any sexual interactions with the female professors such as Reyes and Dubois?
I appreciate the feedback! I will look into adding the quick save/load buttons, I don't think that should be too difficult. Yes, there are plans for sexy stuff with the professors, though there won't be any relationship/stat improvements since they're secondary characters.
Nice, I really appreciate that, big fan of your last game especially the swinging/sharing and Impreg/pregnancy content, I eagerly anticipate future updates to this game as you're the only guy I've found on itch to have made a game with those particular fetishes all in one game
Great Start! The setup is a lot more morally questionable but I like the MC a lot and the personality of all the characters. Like flobber bees I wish there was a chance to romance Simon but nonetheless it's an amazing start.
This seems like it's going to be a lot more ambitious than your last project so I wish you the best of luck.
I also really like how th other male characters are 1 dimensional either. I'm really excited to see how gary grows and how the game does in general. Good luck!!!
Thank you for the kind words and support :)
Great start with v0.0.1! Loved SiC and it's cool to see the system advanced and used in a new context. Fun variety of characters. Wish I could romance Simon, he's a cutie. Don't dig the sorta womanizing pickup artist setup as much. I'll be curious to see which clubs you can actually join. Seems like maybe art and soccer. Would like to be able to join the cheer squad or at least the swim team.
Thank you for the support and feedback! :)
