Operation NOVEL: Season 1
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Explosions, Experiments, and Espionage.
---------------------------------------------------------
Objective:
Numbuh 62's (Anon) assignment should've been a simple one; Testing experimental weaponry, keeping the armory up to standard, and provide security detail to Sector-G, one of the most technologically advanced R&D facilities within the organization .
SHOULD'VE, being the keyword.
It would have been, if not for the fact that his teammates, while nice enough girls, were either manic, secretive, and/or morally-ambiguous at the *best* of times (and outright bonkers at the *worst* of times). Keeping up with them is enough to drive the poor guy crazy, almost as crazy as they are.
ALMOST, being the keyword.
Living with the day-to-day insanity of spontaneous explosions, secret cameras, and scientific monstrosities has taken its mental toll on the young operative. However, knowing that he is the only thing standing between his teammates and who knows WHAT they might do to the rest of...well...the world, he does his best to try and keep things normal (Or rather, as normal things can get at Sector-G).
TRY, being the keyword.

I predict that the update will come out on December 20th... at 11:59PM.
still waiting
Yes :'3
I believe I speak for all of us when I say that my feelings today can best be expressed in this Phineas and Ferb song.
I'm here waiting today is the day of the update we waited for it at it Will released by anytime now
Thanks for the homeschool studies for this masterpiece it was something better than other games and it give me a Rare feeling of enjoyment and satisfaction it does very well and it's a hidden gem I'm happy that I got the chance to play it thanks again may God bless you all
Is there a walkthrough for this in case I miss something? If so can someone tell me where to find it?
I don't really see the point in saying this isn't a porn game just because it has great writing and fantastic humor.
This IS a porn game, AND it has amazing writing, that's what makes it so good. It really does a lot to capture the style of the KND cartoon and yet include explicit sexual scenes in a way that's believable within the setting. I could see Numbuhs 1 to 5 getting into some of the hijinks the characters in this one get into.
For anyone out here looking for a porn game, this is not the game for you. This game has the occasional shot of nudity and risqué humor.
If you are looking for a game with a funny cast/moments, great storytelling, and amazing music, this is your game. It is a visual novel game (aka, its basically a TV show with extra steps) but it does it right. This game feels like 2000s Cartoon Network. The jokes, the character interactions, the way the plot progresses, it all feels like this is a show CN would air if it (minus the 18+ aspects of course.) I'm gonna stop here to save you all from an essay.
This was my favorite experience on Itch.Io so far. Anon did an excellent job on this. The only negative I left with is that it leaves me craving for more, that's how good it is.
At this point I won't be surprised if we got GTA VI before the next update or even devlog, shit's taking longer than Nintendo making a new Super Mario Bros game.
Edit: and just a day after this they make a new devlog, as expected with my plan. Reverse psicology works wonders
Can someone say are this porn game or not?
Yes, but only barely
Normally I dont like visual novels but this one has been extremely enjoyable the story was great,the character personality were amazing my favorite character was Betsy I absolutely loved her smug attitude she got going on.There 2 surprises that I did not see coming the first was the 2 animated scene I loved those segments and thought the animation was pretty good the second was Jojo reference and how you manage to fit it to the story narrative.Overall 10/10 I look forward to this series continuation
Thanks, man. Glad you're enjoying it.
will there will be villains you know adults or teenagers in the future
Just a heads up that there's seems to be a problem with the android download, not sure if it's just on my end but when I try to extract it
tells me it's corrupted
202 o 404?
202 for sure
4 months, we must be patient...
Do you think we will have next chapter before the end of the year?
hell nah 🗣️🗣️🗣️
I doubt we'll even have a dev log this year
next century fosho
Fosho. Fosho.
I can't state how much I enjoyed this game! I'm not a huge visual novel guy, but everything here was so well made. Genuinely fell in love with all the characters, even Anon who I didn't expect to be a (9/10 non "uggo") protag with a personality. 404 and 78 weren't my personal favorites despite all the focus, but I really enjoyed their cute moments as well. On another note, the dialogue and wacky situations were just so funny! Really appreciated the fun mini CGs and stupid stuff like Laura's 2nd form. I can't wait to see what else is to come!
(P.S. Please give me more 202, 98.6, and Betsy content, they are really cute with Anon)
i saw this under the "adult" tag and got scared low key. but i skimmed through the comment and this looks to be a normal game and no weird shi 😭😭
It has... some moments
Genuinely adore this game, the characters are super cute and their interactions very endearing, left me wanting so much more when i finished i got kinda sad :( I wish more parody vns were like this with plots and real relationships instead of cheap porn but im glad the few good ones like this exist, i wish you all luck on developing this great game and wait patiently for more :D
(PS: I know you guys said there werent going to be lewd scenes and that doesnt bother me, Im here more for the romance and cute character interactions/plots than anything, but will the characters actually get together in the end? Would feel very bittersweet if they didnt but I love this game anyway. Also also, are you guys fans of Numbuh 404 or something? She got two plots just to herself! Dont blame you though, her doodle face cracks me up every time)
I've been waiting and refreshing. I'm so happy there haven't been any dev logs or updates specifically so I could drop this meme with the canonical number. 🤣 Seriously though, this is the best game on Itch Io.
Kek. Nice.
Is there a guess on when the next update will be?
BTW this is definitely the best game I ever found on here
We don't know if its soon but we know that they're working on it SO don't worry they just need time
Yeah i knew that i was just wondering if anyone had a educated guess or something
I have a question is there will be vilians in the future in the game like the adults or TND AKA teenagers next door I hope I can get an answer
lowk got to follow this so i can get the devlog every eclipse
Android version is not downloading right. What's the secret?
It worked for me, just gotta use winrar (or any other file manager) and extract the file you get, then run the apk. I did find that you need to extract it in some other folder, because when I tried to launch the apk directly from the .rar got an error. Hope this helps you out :D
The dev logs always seem to come when I'm wondering if the project has been abandoned. I'm starting to wonder....
Nothing’s been abandoned. We just don’t follow a set schedule. Gotta remember that this is a hobby, boss.
I appreciate the response. My fears come from other abandoned projects. Different people poisoning the well.
Care to share with us that "schedule", boss?
People are like "doom'n'gloom" here due to lack of information. Provide us with ETA and the naysayers will disappear like a camphor.
A damn high quality hobby at that, so take your time.
When is the next update
I enjoy this game alot. Super fun game. (Numbuh 404 best btw) and I'm excited for when it gets updated
Numbuh 202 is better!!!
You know when I said this might release in September I was just joking but this might end up actually being true
You used a monkey paw and now we all have to pay for it.
shhhhhh
I just realized something pretty sure operation novel takes place after the ending of codename kids next door mostly because the blonde girl with pigtails Henrietta I'm pretty sure only turned back into a girl towards the end of the show
I remenber I actually saw a few things that kinda eluded to that! I'll just say this, one of the teens was involved in more!
Anyone else not know that numbah 202 and some others where in the knd show?
I forgot some of them were actually in the show until I heard people talking about it. or more rather saw people talking about it and searched it myself.
no they are not in the show but sector X existed in the show with the character on it
202 and everyone in sector x appeared in the show, the others I don't think were in it.
you are right and I don't think 404 or 62 or 98.6 or the sunky scouts to be canon because I searched about them I know there is scouts in knd but I couldn't find of the mentioned names
Soon™️.
very excited!
Love how you guys always reply. Also, the only reason you guys aren't in first place is because I doubt anything will ever knock KOTOR off its throne. 🤣
Kotor?
knights of the old republic
"Soon™️" sonds to me like Scuderia Ferrari's "next year will be our year"
I hope I'm wrong tho, your game is incredible
Legit has to be one of the best games I've ever played. Made me laugh a crap ton I love it.
Okay just to be clear I read an earlier devlog that said you would be releasing Rupert's rampage weekend at x and 86d at the same time is that still happening or you going to release it in individual episodes
Just wanna say that for the past week this game had completely pulled me in with its amazingly well-written cast of characters, catchy unique music, well done humor, and some really tasteful lewds.
I did not expect for some game that I just stumbled upon on twitter and deciding to check it out on a whim being just such a gem that I would thoroughly enjoy all the way through.
Even after reading all the devlogs and checking out their twitters, I'm honestly still wanting more of this wonderfully exciting world they've made. Hell, I wasn't even into KND that much and now they've got me looking at the wiki and checking out the original show again especially the episodes where the characters make an appearance in. I mean seriously, how did they take some of the most barebones background characters in the show and gave them such an awesome makeover and personality? Just astounding.
Wish I could interact with this community more and check out fanarts they've gotten. A shame they decided to take down discord, though definitely an understandable decision.
Anyhoo, this has probably gotten longer than some people will ever read, so I'll end it here with a "Great job" and a "I cant wait to see more". Also Kim best girl.
It's good, not much else to say 🤷
I'd like to make some fanart of this game, is there anywhere I can post it?
Oh it's SFW btw i just dont know where to post it
Maybe Danbooru?
Or Gelbooru?
Or maybe even in 4chan /co/ in KND thread.
If it’s Sfw, feel free to share it with us on Twitter.
Do you have a concrete time frame for when the next episode will come out?
We’ll have a tentative release date for y’all in the next devlog.
I cant wait!
And going by how I've seen your devlogs go that's probably going to be somewhere in July which means the release date is probably going to be somewhere in September
:[
God, I hope you are wrong.
I cannot wait the release!
Captains log: It has been 12 days since the last devlog tantalized me with the message of "soon". I have rechecked the site 3,215 times to no avail. Supplies are running low, as is hope. This may be my last entry before the madness sets in.
Stay strong, Jim!
Hi quick question, what's that song that plays when Numbuh 78 fights Robert in episode 2?
Is part 2 already out. I see screenshot on the twitter/X of new characters but im guessing its just previews. If you ever have time can you answer this.
Nahh. We just enjoy doing little skits and previews of upcoming character on X every now and then.
Honestly this is some good story telling. The characters are on point, the multiple ending are nice, and I for one like hoe you made the MC.
Absolutely loved the game, 10 out of 10, does anyone know any games like this and I don't care if they're NSFW or not, this game was just fun to read, also if anyone has trouble with the Android version of the game not staging properly, I know I did, you have to download an unzipper app and turn it into an APK
Had to make an account just to post this comment lol,.,.
If I were asked to choose between all the itch.io games I've played, this one would MOST DEFINITELY be my top pick.
All of the NSFW stuff aside, the storyline behind this game was hands down amazing. Other story games would just have had me blankly staring at the screen, tapping through the entire conversation, but here I am, thoroughly scanning through every line of text that pops up on the screen like I am reading some good digital novel.
The illustrations were truly something else, have I brought up that this game has ANIMATIONS?? Like!! How awesome is that!! The backgrounds on the other hand were so detailed, I loved it. And the CG's were just the cherry on top of this tall, beautiful, (and hopefully chocolate) cake. It had emotion, humor, and most important of all, COLOR!
Conclusion: this game is super duper awesome and i hope you love it too
props to the development team for making this masterpiece of a game
