VN - Ren'Py - Absolute Hypnosis in DxD [v0.2] [PSY8]

Pretty painful in its current state. It drops you into some sort of direction minigame pretty early on...But gives you no clear idea of how the game works or what's going on. You must complete game to do anything. Then there's a mana activating minigame. Which is kinda a timed "click when here" except the timing is absolute trash and not how the games normally work, it requires over a dozen correct timing activation, and if you miss one it resets to 0. Both are mandatory minigames to play the game at all.

Then you kinetic story to the first 3 girls. Where you use hypnosis to implement like 7 rules on them or something. The rules are stupid, and the hypnosis system doesn't make any sort of logical sense. It's like "You'll do whatever I want" and then also "Even sexual things" as a separate numbered thing. Like. Was that a necessary clarification?
Why do I care? Because then we get to a plot relevant girl and don't have enough mana to do anything. Probably because we burned it all being incredibly inefficient previously, but can't be sure because the system doesn't necessarily make sense.

The navigation system is trash. It's just names of locations as popups. Which is fine- except I had no idea where I was supposed to be headed, really, so it just required clicking every single one and then clicking back just to learn I couldn't effectively do anything. There is no indication if anyone is there to interact with.

Some other reviews mentioned a hint system. I didn't really see it. I got fed up with trying to navigate to actual plot points and quit out. Looking at the changelog, there's no content that's worth that level of hassle.

Some people mention "Oh why can't you play minigames are you stupid?"
Why don't we take your breakfast away and make you jump up and down to get it.
It's a stupid system that gives you things you should have gotten anyway (Literally following someone successfully; which is a mandatory plot point) for completing stupid tasks (Clicking the correct directions) with no real meaning. Why don't we add a 15 minute minigame where I have to walk with left foot then right foot, next? About as meaningful. The point is, I don't *want* to play minigames, I want to interact with characters and sometimes experience plot points.
If I wanted to play minigames, I'd go play minigames, not porn.

Good points:
Character models are pretty good, I think?

poor execution just resumes this game, hypnosis is all about slow cook, and you just make 3 girls yours in 1 boring scene, and why i can repeat the intro scene when i talk to them? make the game better steps by steps, not just trying to make it the final game from the start, no one wants to see just a bunch of bad sex scenes with bad game sandbox and bad writing, give more time to polish it, also please do the hypnosis slowly!!

I don't understand why people hate the puzzles in this game so much. They probably only have 1 brain cell they use to breathe. That's probably why most of the negative comments are from people who have no idea how a game is made and are just complaining that they have to use their brains to do something instead of picking their noses with two fingers.

I really liked it, I consider that it is still early to demand perfection, the characters look the same as the anime which I appreciate, the way to collect mana is a bit tedious, but I think it is fine, considering that you do not need it to unlock all the scenes. I look forward to seeing the future of this game.

Good ideas, poor executtion, worse community feedback. Early stages of development imply lack of content, we will have to wait and see for something else, but what is there is blocked but some of the worst puzzles ever put into a game. Its north, north, west, west btw, thank me later.

This game in current version has nothing to do
i can only interact with later in afternoon
there are only 3 girls i can do anything with

HINT system doesnt work
corruption system doesn't work bcs author didnt made handout with girl system
can't call girl
can't hypnotize new girl
can't talk to girl and get her to like me normally

game has a lot of potential, however is very very early right now. For only having an intro I'd say this more like version 0.0.1 Once chapter one is complete is should be version 0.1. graphics so far are good, better then most others in this same harem category.

As of writing this game is way too undercooked. The writing is really badly translated, gameplay isn't explained and the visuals need work. With time and attention it might become something, but for now I'd give it a skip

Really good start definitely my favorite dxd parody so far can't wait for more only reason not 5 stars is because the text box gets in the way kf scenes maybe add an opacity other then that perfect start to a great netori game always wanted a game where you cuck Issei only one id want more is to cuck gary su ass kirito
