Neuronaut is a lewd visual novel about a man's journey inside the bodies of other people.
Gameplay
You smash that "Enter" key and read text boxes. Every once in a blue moon, you'll be given an option that'll either immediately kill the protagonist or dramatically change the course of his life. Choose wisely, and save before choosing anything.
Story
Mark is an emotionally, socially inept individual who spends his times lamenting about his life, and talking to plastic bags. He sounds pathetic, but he also sounds really depressed. Happy people don't usually contemplate suicide on a regular basis. One day, he obtains a scripture that teaches him how to leave his body via astral projection. He learns that he can "possess" people, but he can't control them (at first). He can feel what they feel, and feelings grant Mark some addictive high. He begins to crave others' emotions and social lives, and he starts to live inside other people (rather than his own life).
Mark dies, but his astral form lives on. He becomes trapped inside a man named Max, and they become entangled in a wild love triangle. What comes out of said love triangle is up to the player.
Visuals
The user interface looks good, though it is the same as many visual novels I have played before. You can adjust audio and display settings at anytime. There's a gallery which can be accessed from the main menu. The in-game interface allows you to save/load with ease, and it can be hidden (allowing to soak in scenes n' CGs with greater appreciation).
- The Goods -
There are a handful of sexual scenes and CGs that you can encounter in-game. CGs can viewed from the "Gallery", but scenes cannot be reviewed without using the save/load system. The scenes aren't anything worth saving, however. They are brief, spending little time on saucy content. Sexy scenes are uncommon, separated by vast amounts of non-sexual content. Expect female and male-on-female sexual intercourse.

Review with accompanying screenshots and video at Sinical Network
Neuronaut is a supernatural visual novel with romance and adult content (text and ecchi artwork only) by GUT.GAMES. The game features an unnamed male protagonist who is languishing at his day to day job as a software engineer in a modern Russian setting. The protagonist is attracted to his co-worker and apartment neighbour Milana, but had no idea on how to confess his feelings to her.
One day, the protagonist bumped into a mysterious old man on the street. The man offered him a mysterious booklet on becoming someone else, and left him with a grim warning. Afterwards, the protagonist realized he could jump inside and occupy the thoughts of another living being. Fast forward to a little time later, the protagonist is sitting on a bench on a rainy day and thought of jumping into the consciousness of a young man called Max who is going on a seaside vacation with his soon-to-be estranged girlfriend Lia. This starts his new adventure in helping others to be a better person.
As with 7DOT's artwork in other earlier visual novels such as Crystal City and Escape from the Princess, the artwork in Neuronaut is equally good, and doesn't require an uncensored patch. I hope this game will qualify for Steam trading cards and have normal Steam profile features in future. The game also has pleasant techno music by Aki Kato and Gunazy to match the supernatural themes and some technocrats in the story.
Sadly, this game suffers from having quite a number of translation errors in the English version. Although I can still follow most parts of the story in spite of the wording, some parts have a few words such as the use of "taxi" and "taxi driver" which are actually referring to the proxy the character can enter and see things from the person's perspective and influence that person rather than an actual taxi or taxi driver itself is confusing.
In terms of content, this game features four heroines on the cover, and there are numerous dialogue choices, CGs and endings in the game. However, the protagonist's relationship with Milana and Max, and Max's relationship with Lia, Annie, and Tessa feel very rushed and short. I feel this game could have been brought out better if the character relationships were developed more alongside a better translation.
Overall, Neuronaut has an interesting premise of a person with the unusual ability to occupy the thoughts of another person, and help that person to live and be a better person. The game also has nice artwork and background music. However, the game is short because all endings can be reached and all CGs unlocked in a couple of hours. Given that the game suffers from a rushed pacing in the storyline, translation that can be confusing at times, and doesn't have normal Steam profile features or trading cards at the time of this review, I recommend waiting until this game is discounted and qualifies for Steam trading cards before buying this game.

Neuronaut, a game that has nothing to do with gaming.
All you need to go through is a mouse that can quickly click through the game or choose the more annoying option and read an uninteresting story full of "unexpected" drama and light, very light erotica.
Important note, with this game cannot be fap.. the action material is missing. 5%

Hum... I would say It is Okeyish. This is an adult VN "game". The Graphics are decent. Good music. The story is kinda intriguing but not so interesting in the long run.
No bugs or crashes.
Overall, is somewhat entertaining. The plot is about some dude making astral traveling and possessing some people to leech on their emotions and participate in their romantic and sexual lives as a stowaway. It's a short tale with little surprises and plenty of cliches but not that bad if you're in the mood for this type of content. It includes explicit nudes if you select the uncensored choice in the options. I'm gonna give it a lukewarm recommendation because it's a lukewarm game. Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed.

A relatively simple and short VN with an interesting possession gimmick. Essentially driving home the importance of honestly communicating in a relationship. A serious narrative but told in a lighthearted manner. Side characters don't necessarily have a lot of depth to care too deeply about but are at least 3-dimensional with both strengths and weaknesses. Wrong choices will lead to a bad ending fairly quickly. They also have some dark humor attached so it's worth experimenting.
There are some lewd moments but nothing too graphic. And they are presented in a way to just keep the story going and doesn't linger on it. I actually prefer it this way but if you're looking for hot and heavy H-scenes this is not the game for you. The art is good and the BGM is certainly different to most VN's. Though sometimes it seems like the wrong track was used and just didn't fit the tone of the scene. All in all a good story to kill an afternoon with.

It's aight
To get into a little more detail (no spoilers)
The story is about a unnamed dude who gets the power to get into someone's body and watch them in that person's perspective. It's different from the typical VNs, and it's nice. Definitely a short story, but it doesn't overstay it's welcome. Just enough for you to finish everything with all endings. You should buy it if you want something short and sweet, but don't expect too much from the story.

A short game but i felt it was just right. It was pretty fun and i enjoyed it, especially since i got it for just a dollar.
