A thing I appreciate about this game is just how overwhelmingly evil the MC is. Many games about mind control try to play their MCs off as sympathetic, even as they break and rewire women's mind just to use them as sex toys. But this MC is just an out and out douche, reminds me of playing a straight up villain like the protag in Overwhored. I also like Marie; she's the Harley Quinn to the MC's Joker in more ways than one.

this might be one of the best porn games i have ever seen, the corruption and control is slow enough to be intresting without being annoying or overly drawn out, the story is great, the character design and general look is great and the MC is actually intresting and not a goody two shoes who is basically forced into his own pleasure, it actually feels like the MC is the dominant party, something annoyingly rare in these types of games. please keep it up, you are a great writer and this game needs to be completed

Man this is fun as hell. Some guy may not like the bimbofication part of the Addams, but dude I dig it. And your sense of humour is hilarious. Keep em up man
I agree, it's very fun and hot, however I think that the first look of Wednesday, even more than the initial Ann and Sister Maria appearance, is the reason why Steam sadly rejected the publication of the first submission of Bimbobilier :cry:
(No idea on why Sexion 31: A Milf Odyssey was rejected too :()

How do you know the publication was rejected? Do you know anybody at Steam?
I'm looking for a direct channel to talk to someone about this and an inside connection would be really helpful.

And yes, they claimed someone was underage, I'm guessing Wednesday, but they did not give me enough information.
This is an absolutely ridiculous and defamatory accusation, since the actress is 20, which, last time I checked, was over 18, and the scene is easy to cut (no story impact)

I think there's a good chance I can get the decision reversed on the Odyssey, but Bimbobilier might be a lost cause, which would unfortunately mean canceling the project.

No, unfortunately I cannot be of any help with that, I don't know anybody who works for Valve, however, this morning I've found your games in the spreadsheet, which I don't know who updates it, but many good games from here were sadly found there :(

I see that they gave you the same unfair and absolutely unclear rejection answer which they have already given to other. I know that they are pretty uncompromising (and quite arbitrary and subjective) about this kind of things, however, some devs have managed to get their games published despite the first hard rejection by changing the "offending" part of the game (taking a total guess as to why) and then resubmitting the whole game with a modified title.
For instance, Lucie Adult Game by SecretGame became Lucie Adult Game HD and then was released on Steam, Summer with Mia Season 2 by Inceton had been approved as Returning to Mia and will be released sometime in the future, even Astaros3D tried to retify Girl House as Lust & Life, but his work on the little girl seemed to be not enough and was rejected again, which is absurd, by the way :rolleyes:
Anyway, I think that you could eventually try to ask to some of those people in order to know better how they managed their situation, maybe they can give you some useful advices on the matter. I, of my own, have tried to gather as much information as possible on the subject and put it in my signature, hoping that it will be useful to someone.

No! :cry:
This is my favorite hypno/mc game i have ever played and i would hate to see this game abandoned!
I'm figuring out how to get Odyssey season 2 approved, as it is my main title.
Once that goes through, I will make another attempt with Bimbo. I'll probably have to change the title, which in retrospect might be a good thing, since no one knows how to pronounce/spell Bimbobilier.
I came up with the word Bimbobilier by watching one of those stupid real estate shows where bimbos sell houses to rich people :D

Itch.io's breach of their own terms of service was the last nail in Bimbobilier's coffin.
Unfortunately the title is cancelled.
More info here:
I'm no expert in californian law, but I would say that you have a legal case here for breach of contract. What a bunch of...

That is so sad dude :cry:.
Creativity in the West has being muzzled and it's getting worst by the day.
I see some mangas with heavy themes like rape, torture, drugs, hypnosis etc and I know that a similar story would never be published in the US.

they did that to you over hypnosis content?
call me conspiracy minded, but does that sound like there's some unwritten law stemming from mkultra or something meant to cover it up from normal discourse, because this decision is too strange! Plus, the vn wasnt that hardcore compared to others ive seen, yet they targeted you?
sorry to hear that bro. this was an awesome vn

From what I understand they targeted many developers, and I don't know yet if there is a pattern, though I'm pretty sure it's only adult devs (source: ).

I've confirmed with someone well versed in contract law that this is a breach of contract, so this story isn't over.

But unfortunately, because of a multitude of factors, this is the end of the road for Bimbobilier.

Wouldn't you be able to earn enough money with patreon to continue the game? or is there other factors that kills the game?

Patreon frowns upon hypno, that's why I don't distribute Bimbobilier through Patreon.

The only way for me to fund Bimbobilier was SubscribeStar, and most of my subscribers there are there for the Odyssey (my main title).

Given the fact that Steam rejected it for BS reasons, I can't resubmit it.
This pretty much means no one wants to distribute it as a paid download.

I wanted to make a final chapter to wrap things up, unfortunately Bimbobilier endangers the rest of my work:



The silver lining:
I now have time to make something better, bigger, crazier (but not centered around hypno). I have started brainstorming and will have a "concept" intro soon.
Madison uses the same model as Chief O'Ryan in MILF Odyssey, so I can Bimbofy her there.
Barbara was very popular, as you rarely see that body type in VNs. She can make an appearance in the Odyssey.
Marie and Ann might show up as well.

Well this fucking sucks but never have been a title where i understood the reason behind the decision more than i did here (minus the time where the dev literally died during development). It was the right call, most unfortunately.

But choosing to give up on this or giving up on all, well, it was a nobrainer. Bimbofication content will be sorely missed the meantime.

Then again, bimbofication doesn't require a non-consensual approach. It isn't universal that a woman doesn't want to become a bimbo.

You can have a consensual route for it during what the girl can have fears, doubts, ups and downs on the ride, to make it more spicy which essentially simulates a more forced approach without being one because she would need reassurance then, a firm hand that pulls her further into it. Lies. Made up reasons why this is best for her and personality traits that would make her susceptible to such reasoning.

Basically, there are levels of being an asshole even before we reach non-consensual levels. It doesn't have to be all smiles and giggles while still within the borders of consensuality. People with rape fetish left hanging of course but just because you are forced to abandon black doesn't mean you have to go full white, figuratively speaking of course. It is all about shades.

There are plenty of short comics based on this idea and lots of visual novels that would support bimbofication fully it's just that the developers behind them aren't into that.

My point is: I hope you won't give up on the bimbofication concept.
