HTML - Become Someone [v1.79] [Volen]

Become Someone is a compelling HTML life simulator that blends branching narrative with stat-driven choices, letting you carve your own path and form relationships with a wide cast of characters. The game’s adult-themed storytelling and visual presentation are engaging, offering plenty of variety and meaningful decisions that make each playthrough feel personal and dynamic. Xiaohei


Mechanically, the game feels solid for its genre: character progression, stat building, and story events are all clearly laid out, and there’s a satisfying sense of growth as you unlock new interactions and scenes. The freedom to choose your direction — whether focusing on relationships or self-development — keeps the experience fresh across hours of play. itch.io


That said, the money system feels a bit too grindy at times. Earning enough currency to progress or unlock certain options can become repetitive, occasionally slowing down the narrative flow you’ve invested in. While this does add a layer of challenge, it sometimes tips into tedious rather than rewarding, making parts of the mid-game feel like a repetitive cycle of stat-grinding. Despite this, the core experience remains fun and engaging. Overall, I’d give Become Someone a 4/5 — a strong pick for fans of life sims who don’t mind a bit of grind.

Except for the school quest, not overly grindy. Lots of small rewards along the quest paths. Plenty of choices and interaction. Tons of women to see and plenty of different scenes for each one.
If I could change 1 thing it would be the school quest to pass all the girls. At the least, add a progress log to see where each girl is so you know best when to give the test. And maybe have them all pass 5-7 tests instead of 10.

eh.. its kinda a bitter sweet experience.

cause on one side, you got a game with consistent models, consistent scenes. to maintain consistent characters.

but if you're an anal lover, skip this game. ive played for HOURS, and ive not seen any. blowjobs, titjobs, vaginal is all repeatable scenes. throughout my 3+ hours of playing, even when using cheats and checking through the gallery. IVE YET TO SEE ONE SINGULAR REPEATABLE ANAL SCENE.

if youre not bothered about anal, and like a HTML grind, youll enjoy this.

but due to the lack of repeatable anal, its a no from me.


the game is also very inconsistent with its logic. so my mother and sister will flash me, and fuck me on one off occasions, but then call me strange for walking in on em and offering assistance.. some of the logic is heavily flawed

This one of the most enjoyable HTML games I've played. The scenario is sturdy enough to sustain the story. The day-to-day grind is there, but enough variety is provided that it doesn't get nearly as tedious as most HTML games do. The variety of models is excellent, and the media of them is well-selected and has a nice range of scenes. Mechanically, the game works quite well -- I don't just mean it doesn't crash (although it doesn't crash) but also the subsystems like money and relationship gains are well balanced and functional. The goals are mostly quite clear-cut (although there could be more obvious clues pointing new players toward teaching at the high school, since what's there now is pretty subtle and frequently missed.

I have a small complaint which isn't worth knocking off a star. The first is that the relationships with family are all adopted, which is even lamer than the loathed and despised step-cest; normally this would be a deal breaker for me in a game like this, but the rest of the game is good enough I can overlook it, albeit with ill humor.

This is probably the most well made HTML game on this site. It's very easy to play due to the UI that includes fast travel, time skip, and a walkthrough. The game doesn't frustrate you with too many unnecessary actions unlike many other HTML games. The issue I had with this game is just that it's mid, I didn't find any of the buildup or scenes interesting.

I really enjoyed this game. It has a ton of content. There are a lot of things to do and a lot of plot paths that can be followed. The game is fairly easy so I never felt like I was getting frustrated when trying to move the game along. There is a little bit of grinding, but is wasn't a mind-numbing amount.

A real porn HTML male protagonist game.

You start off living with your mom and sister and attending university. Unlocking various female NPCs by completing character missions or a handful of events (classes, streaming, career). It has a significantly larger npc cast than a lot of the genre with a focus on clips for sex scenes. There's variety to the porn clips and the author seems to try to match race, hair, and body type to the characters.

Gameplay-wise, there's the loop of get up and do progress your morning routine of mission path (school, work, or just sex). Time isn't divided into blocks, but a number of events and activities are based around certain time windows. Quite a few of the teachers require the Wed morning class slot to advance their plot, for example. Regarding the missions, each character has 4-7 stages, generally requiring interacting with them at a certain place/time, or raising their stat or another character's stage to a certain level. The game includes a walkthrough, though I feel alphabetizing the characters would make it easier to navigate.

The NPCs progress/sex seem to be divided into Girlfriend or Slave routes, only a few let you select what those routes entail or the sex acts performed. A few characters have a group interaction, but most of the characters don't seem to acknowledge your harem or other activities.

Content-wise, as those routes imply, it varies between caring and rough treatment. Incest is available (mother, sister, cousin, aunt, grandmother). At least one character involves you unavoidably sharing her without much in the way of warning and another involves you being the netori(bull) in a lesbian couple and a het couple. Also contains various BDSM and degrading speech. Overall, I thought it was kind of average, but I was impressed with the number of characters.

Some parts of it are kinda cool, but the game is - and I never thought I'd say this about a sandbox game - extremely unbalanced. The internal economy makes no damn sense. I recognize that it's made to be easy, but it's almost easy enough that it's frustrating. There are way too many parallel paths thrown at the player without enough lead-in or commitment required: who the fuck are these people? Why do I care?

The porn is easy to get to. Yay! Here's the thing, I can get to porn much more easily without playing this game. I'm here for an experience, and what I get is a slog with way too much shitty porn thrown in my face that I don't ask for, while not feeling fulfilled in pursuing the porn I want to see.

So the Sandbox is well done. What I really dont like is that you randomly "corrupt" the Mother/Sister and from one day to the other you can invite them to your dungeon and fuck their brains out.

I substract 3 stars for that. There is literally NO buildup at all. Yes you pay the bills because your Mother needs money, but that is enough so you can have ballslapping BDSM sex with your mom? Okay, great writing


Aside from that, the use of actresses in the videos is consistent, and UI and gameplay itself is good.

But at this point it's just some porn videos thrown into with some lines of text that explain why everyone fucks you directly

One of the best works using real porn you can find in the Internet. You have multiple sotryline to progress while developing your business and physic status. In many of the storylines of the heroines you can chose the way you trade them (romantic or dominant) which gives you the opportunity to act as yourself in the game.
Plenty of females you can conquer, a solid main story, and most importantly, this game gets an regular update.

Gameplay:
Multiple stories with integrated walkthrough
So, you start with a University story with RPG elements, then you kinda have the choice to follow a "corporate boss" story, a "high school teacher" story, and anyway do both of them, you choose 2 different path (mafia boss or police officer), before ending up with the mayor story. So, it's not exactly a sandbox, and you just read the walkthrough to unlock the scenes.

Story:
TL;DR
Literally, I wasn't really reading all the text because I found it boring and useless. It's even quite cringe at some point. It's a town where there are only women (lot of) and one dick (the MC), and everybody is stupid.

Graphics/Animation:
Real porn images and videos. Clips are short, and it's really repetitive. Models are hot, that's a fact. But fast-food and tasteless porn.

Sound/Music
No music, and sound from the video clips. Nothing special.

Overall impression:
It's a huge collection of short porn-clips (5-20 seconds), consisting of "dick blowing", "fucking", "ass-fucking" and "facials". Oh, and also BDSM stuff. To give an idea, each clip is around 5-10 Mb, and you have 6Gb in size, so that makes around a thousand of them. And the game is a kind of interface to watch them. I know I'm quite harsh, but that's how this game felt for me.

I have admired the work put into this game for a long time. The pacing is solid, the story is solid, the options what you can do and where you can go are amazing. The scenes work well with the world they've built and the graphics to show off the world, even though animated, give you a sense of where you are and where things happen with more depth. You don't just talk about the place, you have it visually represented and I think that's really important when you're building a text based game.

This is one of the best HTML games out there. You can see how much work went into this, it has so much content and a decent story line. Of course, it is pretty unrealistic how the girls are acting - I imagine Aliens that only have seen porn movies would write in a similar way. But that is part of the fun.

However, as much as I would like to give it 5 stars, I must substract one star due to the fact that you cannot avoid the incest part. I can accept a half-ass cover ("land-lady"), but forcing me into this is annoying.

This game deserves much more credit, it's a real life sandbox with so many incredible gameplay mechanics. The scenes are great and it's updated very regularly. As others have mentioned, not having to download it is really helpful as well.

I don't write many reviews, but I have to give credit where credit is due on this one. The content more than makes up for the grinding. Literally dozens of characters and you don't have to look far for sexual content.

But in what other game can you:

build a harem;
start a home business in your bedroom and turn it into a national company;
join the mob and eventually take over as mob boss;
earn your college degree with help from your professors;
work as a teacher and end up as teacher of the year;
run for mayor and become mayor of the game town.

And you can do all of these things without having to restart the game and take different paths (though there are options to do so.).

If you don't want to download it, the online version is fine, just download your saves. I had fun playing it over the past two weeks. No, this is not a game that you can play in a few hours or an evening. It might start slow, with heavy grinding, but it will pick up.

While I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, I feel it strikes a good balance between grinding and giving you what you're really here for. The dev seems to update it pretty regularly, and it's loaded with content. Hoping to see more in the future.

Great game ; pretty rich, full of intricate stuff, and full of different paths to go ; it's pretty hard to achieve 100% of the game, but that makes it good. Also, the fact that the developer(s) take so much effort into this game is great.

I like the fact that we can play it online without having to download it, btw, which is always a nice + for HTML games.

If the dev can fix what the previous reviewer mentioned, this game could be very very good. But the critique is perfect: " You got girls giving you sexual favors in one scene and acting like they never met you in the next. You have girls talking about events you supposedly did the day before with them and you never did those even". This really scews up the game and happens especially with the mom. One update to fix these and it's golden!

It's a shame. The premise of the game seemed great. The execution is bad. You got girls giving you sexual favors in one scene and acting like they never met you in the next. You have girls talking about events you supposedly did the day before with them and you never did those event. The devs use the words "you have total freedom to decide what to do" to hide the fact that the game has no actual structure, which sounds great.-except that they stop you from doing anything you want to do at every turn. So you really can't do what you want to do. I can't recommend the game.

"You have total freedom, so it is up to you to decide what you want to do with your life!"

My main criticism of the game is that this is something of an overstatement in the game description. Maybe the only thing it promises but doesn't deliver.

There's something of a different path. You can dedicate to university, dedicate to the company, work at the restaurant, but ultimately what's the point of these games? It's to get all the women. And if you want all the women you'll need to spend time in the places where those women can be interacted with. That means you have freedom over the order in which you do things but not really freedom in the sense of the game going in a different direction.

In terms of plot, there's basically none. In terms of the characters, you go either a love route or a slave route. You're not building close relationships and shaping their lives, just choosing how you want to seduce them.

With that out of the way, everything the game actually does it does well. Good variety of women, plenty of them, plenty of sex. Some might complain about the grind but I didn't find it any worse than any other HTML game of this type. Build up two or three stats early on, grind for money a few times, talk to the women a few times. Standard stuff. There's enough women to choose from that you pretty much always have someone you could be progressing with, so it's all good to me.

Smooth interface, easy to get around, easy to figure out what to do (don't think I had any points where I was confused as to where to go or how to do something), plenty of great visuals.

If you go into it with the expectation that it's a "Get around town, build up a reputation, fuck everyone" game then you'll be in for a treat. If you're expecting to make choices that meaningfully shape the world around you...not so much.
