Unity - BMO TV [v0.6.4.f6] [Rel]

Its impressive really how they can make a visual novel game so unoptimized, can't even open the game my heavily modded skyrim works better than this.
This doesnt used to be the case because long time ago i played this and it was good but they somehow makes the game have less fps than power point presentation.
I will give this 5 star if its playable even with bad fps right now its not even close

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.)

This game is awful, I liked the concept but everything else is just bad.

First it is really buggy, textures don´t load so everything is white, the MC model changed colors for moments stuff like that which is really annoying.

The gameplay is very unfinished, navigating is awful.

The UI is too unclean and confusing.

And the art doesn´t look good, the characters have too little sprites.

It's good. It's one of the games you should play at least once. While it's not completely original, it's still miles ahead of other NSFW games. Deserves at least 4 stars. Gets 5 from me because I played it for more than 20 hours. Also because it contains two of my personal favorites degradation and bimbofication.

I'm torn. This game is actually really well made. It has a very creative premise (that I genuinely love) and great design. There's a lot of interesting mechanics too, especially in regards to competing against the other characters in a show. The idea of other contestants being autonomous and trying to plot against you is great and adds a lot to the setting.

Despite being complete stereotypes, the characters actually work in this specific situation because of the game revolving around this reality TV show. There's a lot of good stuff here, but I can't give this anymore than 2 stars. Firstly, this is first and foremost a fetish game. If you aren't obsessed with bimbofication then you probably won't be able to jack off playing it.

I'm all for slow build ups, but this game really doesn't reward you for it. It's as if getting a "new latex suit" is meant to be a good replacement for an actual sex scene. If you play the female protagonist route then you will almost never be rewarded. As the game progresses, your character will overtime become more of a "bimbo" but for most people it's far past the point of off putting, and more into the realm of abhorrent. This wouldn't be as big of a problem if we were given some sex scenes or encounters here and there, but there's just nothing to be found. Without the walkthrough it's also very difficult to know if you're moving in the right direction and not missing anything.

The only reason I'm writing this review is because I was seriously disappointed by how intriguing this game was, but how disappointed it left me. But like I said before, there's a lot of good things about the way this game was made. It just failed in doing the one thing a porn-game is meant to do in my opinion. If you don't really care about sex and love bimbo's then this game is probably A++++ for you

A game where a walkthrough is almost necessary because of unexpected consequences and hidden requirements that only specific audiences know about. I'm not in that category, so after some time with clueless investigations I gave up. Its corruption system is good though.

If your looking for something hard to play, and figure out as well as being dominatged then this Great Game is for you.

Sadly this game is not for everyone though. The focus is not have sex with all the girls/ be dominated sexually by the girls. The games focus' is the story, and transformations your character will go though, as well as solving the puzzles of game play to reach new endings and story. I've spent many hours playing and seeking out endings/transformation options and quite enjoy it.

The Art of the game isn't the best, but that being said it fits well for the game of transformations every night, and having to have all the outfits fit with ur ever changing body ect.

The story is decent and has it's funny moments.

I'm not sure exactly why but I love this game. I think it's been great since it came out and the dev works really hard on it. Anyways, I think it's best to not expect to win the game, it's a lot of fun losing.

I lost 2 hours of my life trying to play this shit game that "rewarded" me with measly 3 sexy images at most, its buggy, clunky and it has no interest in teaching you how to do anything important in it.

*Also, this game fells like its a scam, they get almost 13000€ a month for this and it looks like the same shit it was 2019, this game really is shit for the amount of money and time spent on it.
