Others - Broken Dreams Correctional Center [v0.1.7] [RahiMew]

v0.0.23
Surprisingly good.

It's grammatically correct, fairly balanced, has animated avatars, stable, and holds a good bit of content.

I went in thinking it was going to be all about furry yiffing and BDSM, but it doesn't quite have to be. You can change species encounter rates (although it won't change the main NPCs) and you can avoid BDSM a majority of the time through combat mechanics and decisions. There is certainly a lot of BDSM that can be explored however but it never quite feels like the focus.

This game takes a lot of notes from a certain well known text based java game but puts it in a smaller and more sensible scale. It's also probably one of the most accessible text based games in my opinion as it doesn't drown you in long-winded conversations, has a familiar UI, and actually has animations.

Really, the developer is to be commended on this as this is fairly well crafted thus far.

Already a very strong start to a game. It knows what it wants to be and concentrates on a few fetishes. The interface is reminiscent of other mostly-text-based games, but the engine is already really smooth and it comes with a decent animated paperdoll that represents everything happening in the game quite well. The only main gripe I have in that area is that it would be really nice to have a good history function to review what happened in case of clicking through an event too quickly (or even something that happened to me where I sneezed and hit a button and didn't see which and ended up missing what happened and why).

The themes are dark, with content involving slavery, non-consent, bondage, experimental drugs, and violence. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who has objections to such content as that's basically the entirety of the content right now. While the themes are constrained, there's already a decent amount to do. Some content can be finicky to access due to it being unclear where to go for certain quests, but the available areas aren't too large, so you're not searching too long.

The persistent characters who appear are appropriate to the setting, with people acting like hardened criminals, self-important guards, or corrupt administrators. A couple are very compelling and sympathetic, which is something I'd like to see more of in the future.

Combat is very punishing upfront and it can take quite a while before it speeds up enough. Early on, I feel like you can't even guarantee getting across the compound without getting your money stolen or getting impregnated. I'd recommend the devs consider scaling down certain areas the player needs to frequent more early on while providing much better rewards for later combat. As it is, high-level combat is a slog of managing three meters of pain, lust, and stamina with a hidden meter of inebriation limiting your ability to use items. Some combat encounters are definitely not balanced with the idea of fighting multiple enemies between rests, but some areas don't let you actually rest while getting hit with back-to-back encounters. Another oddity is that after losing via lust, your lust is not reset back to zero or reduced in any way, meaning that if you don't go in and masturbate manually, you'll keep losing repeatedly.

Even with all these problems, I think the game is in a good place with a lot of content for being a fairly new game. I'll be watching the development of the game as it progresses and hope it doesn't fall prey to the common problems of similar games.

Great 2DCG game based off of Godot. The mechanics and interface is surprisingly polished for an alpha (0.0.x) build. The 2D animations on the side works well, although it is seldomly bugged with incorrect animations.
The game provides in-story opt outs and warnings for tags in a non-intrusive way. The 2D animations work especially well for this game and makes it easier to immerse into the story's settings. In this case, the protag literally goes to horny jail in a sci-fi future, which is both hilarious and a goldmine for content and creative writing.
Overall, the v0.0.23 is very impressive for an early build, and the core mechanics is refreshing and enjoyable. Love the open source builds, and can't wait to see more development from the clearly talented author.

This is one of the few text games that I had an interest with the gameplay variations. The uses for the hybrid combats (like tying anyone with bdsm gears in fight) and lewd perks actually looks good.

The contents is still in early state and some other elements still requires a better QoL and refinings, mainly on the perks designs rebalancing, but it is expected. The writting in this game can be ok to descent, but still straightfoward most of the time.

One of the few disappointments I witnessed, for example, is that we can't use the strapons for specific scenes required for the penetration or vice versa, not an issue if this won't get fully expanded, while other items also get the same treatment but are still appreciated if they bother with those interactions.
This game has the potential to have some replayability if they ever focus for the alternative route in the main quests/side quests, wish they develop it more of these.

This games deserves more attention.

This review is based on my ~12 hours play of v0.0.22 Bugfix 1.

No bugs whatsoever. The writing is good. The mood is good.

Promising but lacking some contents (to me at least).

I don't want to be dominated or abused by any NPCs so I beat almost everyone up. Aaaaand I cannot progress normally.

Then I open dev options and see a lot of flags about how NPCs abuse the main character. Suddenly I start to wonder whether this game suits a person like me.

Very good, a good time even in this early version.

I hope to see more fetish stuff during normal interactions, it's a bit limited for now.

If you're hesitating try it, it's really nice. The few characters are nice, and the setting makes sense.

[v0.0.22 Bugfix 1]
Cool concept!

Textbased, but with cool 2D animated portraits!

Wow (too cool feature)!

-Grammar
Didn't see any mistakes.

-Amount of content
For a raw version there is a lot to do, but a lot more that can be done...

A great game. If I would describe it using other games it would be Lilith's throne + degrees of lewdity, and since it's two of my favorites, naturally I liked this game. Very cool dynamic animation system, something similar to that of Degrees Of Lewdity, but it's better since it's not just predrawn couple of scenes. Also, the story is great too, but sadly not finished yet. The game has about 2-3 hours of content, if you plan to see everything, the story is about 1-1,5 hours, featuring a few different characters you can interact with and of course, random encounters. Wish all the best to the dev and looking forward to new updates!
P.S. the discord community is very supportive and cozy, if you want to ask a question or just commune you'll find it there.

Review for Broken Dreams Correctional Center [v0.0.22 Bugfix 1]

I am not much into text-based games. Especially when there's no visual content to support it. But this game provides basic but lovely animations and customizations. Just like Degrees of Lewdity, this game promises a good fighting mechanic with h-content that is well spread around the game. I definitely recommend this game.

Verdict: 10/10. A masterpiece in the making.

Lilith Throne in prison, very promising. Paperdoll idea with awesome animation, the simple walking is just soo smooth, I can't wait to see more of those! Writing needs to be worked on to create better characters and more consistent quality. Really looking forward to the following updates of this project!

I absolutely love this game to bits, it is like Lilith's Throne combined with TiTS, but where "small breasts" arent double d's, where roughing someone up actually means breaking a paw or two sometimes, where non-con isnt usually hidden behind a veil of "oh, you are drugged to oblivion and so on.

And Im a sucker for the type of personal story as it is presented with some characters here, tragic backstory might be seen as cheesy by some, but the writing paints a picture very well in my opinion, it did hit me hard in the feels a few times too.

Also, integrated mod browser o:

Also, anthro focus <3

(And the animation system with the "paperdolls" is just such a relativetily subtle, yet powerful addition!)

Played for a bit, the fighting system is serviceable. The gameplay seems a bit loopsided in favor of subs and seems to try to actively punish you for beign a dom but that could be a fault of the setting more than anything. Otherwise the game is ok.
Only complaint is that non furry content seems close to zero. As furry does nothing for me the game was unbearably boring. Just keep that in mind.

Excellent setting, the character creation is good, I enjoy the characters alot and their art makes then pretty different from each other and the dynamic character silhouette was a very welcome surprise.

From now on I'll follow this games progress, I hope they can build upon the story and add more to the sandbox elements.

5/5

First of all, I've played most of the games that this game is taking clear inspirations from, CoC, TiTS and Degrees of Lewdity, For me CoC and TiTS don't really do it for me, I don't enjoy reading, Atleast not when were talking about porn games, But Both this and DoL do a very good job of still providing a visual, while the text gives context. PERFECT, I love what we have so far, It's quickly elevated to one of my all time favorites, It's early on, but the content we have so far is great. The only thing I can say is I wish we had more content when just roaming around, see DoL, but maybe less intense. Plus while the animations could use a little more polish, they still do a very good job. I can't wait for more updates!

One of the best games i played in this category, i generally don't bother writing reviews but this game simply feels very good and it deservers every bit of support it can get. BDDC is a game with a lot of mixes of fetishes and what seems like a very interesting story. The animations help with giving a bit of life into the text element of the game and it feels more than just reading a giant text wall since you are able to see most of the times what is happening.
It would be nice for a few more clothing options to be available and further enhance the leveling but it has a very solid foundation and it has a potential to be one of the best games in this genre.

This came a bit out of nowhere for me, and I am loving it. From a technical perspective, the game runs smooth as silk, the UI is sleek and clean, it has native binaries for most platforms - perfection. Gameplay and combat is fun and well thought out, and doesn't get in your way or feel like filler/time wasting. Your "lewd" stats actually affect your combat abilities, and the skill/perk system seems extremely well designed. There isn't much in terms of visuals but the animated paper doll system works really well and has a lot of potential.

Gameplay-wise, as other reviewers mention, it plays a bit like Lilith's Throne. Except smoother, less buggy and with a better UI. There also seems to be more focus on narrative-driven events and quests instead of random combat encounters. I really hope that is the direction the game is going, as I appreciate a well told story a lot more than smacking random NPCs every other tile.

And best of all - the game is open source (made in Godot) and seems to already have a fairly mature mod API, as well as an in-game mod browser and a few available mods. This game has a ridiculous amount of potential and a solid foundation, and already has hours of fun - absolutely looking forward to more!

Despite the overwhelming cringe i feel in my soul whenever I have to talk to Tavi, I still really enjoy this ss13 inspired thingie-mabob. Writing is pretty high quality (besides some character dialogue from the rainbowdogs)

The combat is definitely not half bad, honestly surprised. The animations are a neat addition to a text-based genre... and the descriptions themselves aren't bad at all. It has solid potential and i'll be keeping an eye out to see how it progresses.

Incredible. I hope this gets a lot of love, because it already is just awesome. Finally a text based game that also has good visuals. Also the mini stories of the important characters were well done, it feels like you actually have some impact on them and are not just NPCs to F around with.

This is basically like Degrees of lewdity in a different settings and not restricted to being a victim only. That's the only thing I dislike about DoL, and here you can easily be the offender and you also have way more control over the encounters. I am sure the battles are gonna get expanded with tons of options to be on par with other great text games. I hope the progress also gets eventually expanded and slowed down.

I would love the possibility to play as a semi-pure character and slowly get corrupted etc., there is just something fun about not being able to do something scandalous but slowly becoming more and more unhinged. Maybe expand the starter settings, like if you pick a Prostitution as a crime, you can have access to most of the lewd behavior immediately, but if you pick framed one you get a virgin run with very low sex knowledge and you have to try to defend yourself instead of whoring out. And maybe a start for exhibitionism where you go around teasing, but avoiding pen sex etc. Being able to just get fucked immediately without any cons, essentially freely win every encounter feels not that fun to me. Granted you can RP it out.

All and all, I have to keep an eye out for this one. It immediately became one of my favourites, and esp. best text based game already.

0.0.22
This has absolutely disgusting potential.

It's like a big mix of Corruption of Champions, Karryns Prison and Lilith's Throne, with actual animations and a crude paper doll system (hope that gets updated, but a great placeholder so far). Not too far along yet but looking forward to updates. Also big fan of the preg content, keep em coming.
