Unity - BMO TV [v0.7.0.f2] [Rel]

If anyone ever played or know abou the game "Hunt down the freeman" will understand exactly why this game is bad.

The idea the concept and overall direction is good certainly not subpar by any mean.

It's the execution that's bad. The "level design" in term of game play is 1/10. Almost no clue to what lead whatsoever. The development of the "core" game is basically stagnant for the past few years. Dev keep expanding the width of the ocean but not the depth. You can finish one of the 2(or 3?) story line of what's might be your very first NPC character with as few as 10 interactions and has been that way for years.

The repetitiveness aka repeat grind is insane. NPCs have fixed time-table, granted the dev acknowledge this and promised to make it more randomised. While at the same keep expanding the game. This is like you promiseing to move the tree saplingbut most likely never will do since you keep wateringit everyday. By the time you decide to move it, it's alread a giant fucking tree and literally have to be up-root with significant more work to move to the point that it's not worth it. This is how most game dev promised but not deliver.

Bad game. Bad graphics. Bad story. Bare game. Single paths with no dynamism. Boring and tedious. Extremely uninteresting characters. Unfair scoring system. Monotonous game. Impossible to do anything other than what the developer wants.

not much to say of the game yet... maybe 10ish minutes of gameplay so far but it seems promising i'm hoping to see alot more outfits, alot more dreary or questionable looking interiors and maybe some more hair or even some tattoos.

Lots of grind to get to lewd. The game feels like it's made by 3 different teams, as the art style, game design, vibe seem all over the place.

It took like hours to do any meaning transformation in this game. I'm not sure if there's something I done wrong. The vibe is forced transformation. But in story, player character is basically immune to transformation.

It does have a few really nice image as promotional material and title screen, but that's basically it.

Have been following this game for a few years now, I thought it got off to a great start as a corruption game. However every time I came back to play another update there seemed to be more and more barriers to fun added.

Then events and story paths were time-gated, then there were some objectives that had to be repeated on subsequent days, combine that with random events taking up parts of your day and you can through no fault of your own fail objectives and wreck your save.

On top of that you get some unlocks once you finish the game for your subsequent playthroughs, but there are two currencies you earn, and one unlocks the other by making your future playthroughs more difficult through stat penalties.

So the more you play the harder things get. I'm still giving it three stars because it's fun to corrupt the housemates and your own character over time and there's some good character art, but every time I come back to play this there's more grind, more puzzles, and less capacity for player error or experimentation/fun.

It's a bimbofication-come-dress-up game. The game does everything you'd expect from a game in this genre. Where it has an advantage over games with a similar concept is the art. It's high quality and there's a wide variety of clothing options.

There are a lot of different routes/possible endings and a new game+ system where you can spend points acrued by completing the game on shortcuts for your next playthrough.

The main downside of the version I played is that you can't yet complete the game on the *main* route. I should probably have played the most recent version before reviewing to check, but I'm going to assume this is still the case. Still worth playing to explore the other endings and cast of characters, though. And if you just enjoy games with a wardrobe system like I do, it's definitely worth playing.

Besides the graphics, everything is either a soup of narrative dissonance of wanting to be "sex-positive" with the "it's all consensual we swear" being bashed on your skull over and over, awful performance, bugs galore and a truly impressively dogshit gameplay design that only goes downhill as time goes on and you take the grueling effort to try and finish the story. The preachy meta-commentary also falls completely flat and is hilariously pretentious.

I actually even donated to play through the whole thing. This game is just bad like plain bad.

The transformations are supposed to be the main thing, but lots of the transformations are walled behind a bad end path; don't let the game confuse you can't really transform the other characters (or not supposed to) and one of them you can't transform at all because she a demon (Really?).

Don't get me started on the tedious "puzzles". The lab on is neat, but the maid one? Or the ending fight? Garbage. Give it a go I guess if you REALLY like being transformed, but realize the contest premise of this game does not exist.

I'm not lowering the score due to performance issues but those issues are present.

Still I give it two stars, it could become three if the Dev includes an actual competition mechanic (He has not since the game started 4 years ago). This could have been a good game, but it's just a weird puzzle game.

No reason for score to be as low as it is.


I imagine people review bomb this for one of two reasons:

They hate reading or they don't like the entire genre of the game.

The game still has a ways to go in development. A lot of "Pardon our dust" signs so to speak as you click around.

That being said what is already here is already very intricate, and I really appreciate how the game does not talk down to it's audience. If you are paying attention all the clues are right there in front of you, just don't get lazy and skip text.

Alright premise for a TF game, with some pretty good female paper doll art, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.

Relation points and paths just do not seem to make any sense. Some characters you can try to grind over and over and it doesn't seem to move their needle at all, while others like the Japanese girl will max out from like 3 conversations. You also have to find what specific repeatable interactions let you actually increase relations, as otherwise you just waste daylight and get nothing for it. Seems very half-baked.

Any actual meaningful changes are mostly just dictated by quest events, which would be fine as I prefer narrative-driven stuff over grinding, but knowing what to do or even how to get on a path is also just nonsense. Half the content seems to just end with no idea how to continue and you have no idea if you're missing a trigger of if it's unimplemented content. It also seems if you ally the wrong girl (which will most likely be the japanese girl since she's so trivially easy to ally), you'll be locked out of any other paths? I don't really know, I just know that my content seemed to entirely dry up after about a week, and even the walkthrough was unhelpful as it doesn't really cover how to start things.

Game also has nearly no actual sex scenes. There's seemingly a whole 2 animations for a blowjob and doggstyle that get re-used, but they're just one paperdoll crudely jiggling in front of another. It's a effectivly just a really slow dress-up TF game, not a sex game.

Also, some of the TF's are just annoying to deal with, particularly if you wanna play a futa/femboy character. It's one of those games that will force your dick into a vag and you'll have to save edit to keep it. You'll also be forced to have a specific hair color and shit. I'd much prefer if the TF's were more personality driven than forced physical customizations. The RNG of them also feels out of place compared to the NPC girls who have clear bimbo paths. You'll end up a clashing mix of gym-bunny goth catgirl housewife if you let the RNG choose for you.

It's all rather a shame, as like I said, the female paperdolls are pretty good. The mid-level body proportion TF in the string bikini outfit is super hot even to just look at in the corner. The problem is that that's pretty much all you're gonna do with them.

Overall, alright premise, some good art. Terrible game.

The game just straight up doesn't work. Can't do two actions without the thing crashing. And on top of that it takes ages to load. The save files are also completely screwed for some reason, specially the auto save, which seems permanently glitched.
This game needs a serious rework, jeez, I was interested by the premise but that completely shut me off.

I LOVE the premise of the game, however in its current state it's terribly optimized, has lots of bugs and gets repetitive rather quickly.

- I really dislike this art style.
- Navigating the map is awful.
- The UI sucks.
- The unskippable intro sequence is just... weird and doesn't seem necessary but at least it's only once per save file
- The quick time events suck and often feel rigged even though I do everything properly

I think it could be MUCH better than it is.
Despite that, I'm rating it this high because sadly I haven't found a better game with a similar premise, the concept itself is actually really appealing to me...

I really like this - the flexibility of the avatar as it changes, and how it reacts to said changes is very well done. I also think the number and quality of various events that occur during the game's branching paths are superb.

I think the biggest issue is how repetitive it can be, and how unoptimized the game is. Switching from one screen to the next can take some time - there are also little bugs here and there.

But overall the experience is enjoyable, and if your kinks line up with mine, you'll find this to be pretty enjoyable. Granted, many of the endings are not for me, and I don't quite like the sissy angle of things. But even though most other content is well done.

I think the game is also well advertised for what it is - it's not a sex/porn game, it's a transformation game and appeals to what it knows.

That being said I would like to see more sexual interactions between contestants/people. Whether that be with male protagonist and the other girls, or more events like what the gloryhole introduces.

I also think that patreon exclusivity is a little too much for my liking, and given the money this project makes, the pace of production could be a bit faster.

But it's a quality product - I especially enjoy the replayability - by the time Ive done my 2nd ending, I feel like I know all the characters, they are decently written and do have their own life to them!

awful art
repetitive
forcing people to consent to "sex-positivity" to play the game
time limited, you lose all progress at the end
terrible writing
shitty characters
confusing from the get go
unnecessary fast reflex minigames with no way to disable them
and you will get them almost every time without the sensor
boring
almost no sex animations
you got like 4 or something like that

only thing i liked is the visual changes each time you take a serum
and the compatibility of cloths with each appeal, that's it.

and the guy gets 10k plus for this...
people did much much much much much more for less.

So I tried the free version of this game because I thought it was something that focused on gameplay, customization, and maybe story.
But now I don't understand what this game is about at all, so I'm going to review the parts I do understand.

Pros:

• I found nothing good about this game except the premise.
• I didn't know that, but this game uses DRM and it's basically MALWARE. But it looks like the free version doesn't have it, which is good.

Cons:

• Art in general is bad and there is a lack of it. It's not a focus of this game, but it's still a con.
• I thought this game was about customization, but it turned out to be about creating body horror creature.
• Lack of the story. Plot focus is lost, most paths are bad.
• Unoptimized piece of shit.
• UI is bad, confusing, buggy.
• The main focus of this game is unclear, and it's also unclear what this game wants from the player.

I can describe this game with one word: abomination.

This is the most unoptimized piece of dogsh*t I've ever had the displeasure to waste my time on. I can't believe the "developer" is earning nearly €11,000 on just their Patreon.

I had freezing issues and overheating all throughout my 3 minutes of gameplay right before my laptop crashed and for what? A glorified point-and-click Powerpoint presentation with some animations here and there.

Don't get me wrong. My laptop is pretty old. However! It can easily run games like AC: Black Flag, Mass Effect 3, Saints Row 4 and even newer titles like Endless Space 2 and Civ6.

There is absolutely no excuse why a game so basic that it can be made in Twine is so horrible to play. Embarrassing.

This is bad game design 101, which is sad because this is my JAM.

QTEs are fine, but hard bound to arrow keys in a mouse driven game is just horrid, yes, lets change controls in a porn game constantly, PICK ONE.

Its ok, start the game, forced tutorial, with a forced failure? Maybe I janked the settings in the wrong way to make the crap QTEs and forced posture change less shit, but I have no idea WTF that is. Instant failure, or have I completely misread this game? I get it you are trying to teach me how to play the game, but just tell me it fucking failed, forced failure just makes me question if I merely am incompetent. I will say, the fact that I have no idea if that was failure by design or if I was supposed to have ANY chance of success just kills me, is that the tone for the WHOLE GAME, or was that a tutorial. Fuck if I know, but after restarting to see if it is possible once drains any interest I have, I don't care, I'm sober and over it.

And this is where I quit and uninstall. This hurts because I think this back of the box description is WHAT I WANT, but the design is so painful instead of horny I am pissed off and confused. Perhaps this gets better? The new player experience is confusion and pain, I don't think anyone should have to suffer through this to find a rainbow at the end.

An alright concept that, as time went on, well and clearly lost the plot. It sets itself apart from other games in the genre, given that it's spent so long on transformation paths that turn you into a creature of dark fantasy. At this point, body horror and similar tags need to be added.
The game has good art and a decent beginning; you'd probably enjoy the first few hours or even some complete paths. But, depending on what you came here for, you will quickly realize there's very little of what you want. For instance, Mexican Conversion Therapy may not be one of your fetishes, but by God, it is in the game and in the worst way.
Unfortunately, I have not learned the context of why these decisions were made, so I can't say where things went wrong. You should take a close look at what the game offers (half of the paths present make me squirm) and consider whether you should support a dev that puts so much effort into a DRM system.
Also, I've played other games like this; the handmade art and polish are nice. The only path I liked was the blackmail one, where the MC is tricked into putting on a remote control vibrating clit piercing / or chastity cage (depending on sex) by one of the other contestants.

BMO TV is fine as is, but it definitely needs a lot more quality of life features. Let's say you want to choose the end of week transformation, you have to spin the wheel of consequences twice causing earlier games to be harder if you want to revert the changes. Some more interactions between the NPCs transforming each other would be fun as well. But the story is something that needs heavy work because at first it seems fine. You are a part of a game show that transforms constants 'fun' but looking at the snapshots of upcoming updates it just seems that the creator got lost in the sauce. Now, with the main gameplay loop of transforming and getting transformed, some transformations either go too far or not far enough.
On to the porn part of this game. It's serviceable, while the images themselves are good there is not much to do sexually other than like halfway through when a guy shows up and if you go to the glory-hole. The current version of BMO TV is leagues above the first one when it comes to the art, but it still leaves a lot to want.

TLDR: Me big mad game not done >:{

Surprisingly great game.
In the first versions the graphics were very scary, but now the models and art are top class. Many possible endings, different fetishes, non-linear gameplay. It is clear that the authors put their soul into their project.
I sincerely wish you good luck and all the best.)
