HTML - Abandoned - Campus Magnum [v0.1.1] [BerylForge]

3/5 - Decent waste of time.
~15 minutes long but replayable w/ multiple endings.

The card game itself is fun. The mechanics have been well designed, providing a challenging experience, and if it weren't for the challenge of trying to win I don't think I would have played the game the multiple times I did.

My problems are with the porn. First of all it is very perverted. You basically have 2 types of cards: one type for transformation, and another type for changing the past. The transformation cards involve gaining 300 pounds of fat, losing all hair, craving piss, etc.... The changing the past cards involve making your friends/yourself into cucks, sissies, whores, etc....
The "past" cards are where 90% of the porn is, and that brings me to my second problem: the transformation cards don't really do anything. You can transform your friend into a 3ft tall 300lb foot worshipper, but this likley won't be reflected more than one off-hand remark in the text. The only thing the transformations really affect is the ending, where you might get a special ending based on certain transformations (like making everyone think they're a dog gives you the puppy ending)

Overall I think this is a decent 15 minute waste of time if you have nothing else to do, but this isn't a game I would specifically plan time out of my day for.

Campus Magnum is a different game than you're probably used to. It's a card game inside of a porn game. I personally never came across anything like it, I think it's very avant garde.

Most of it revolves around transformation-based fetishes, and trust me when I say there's a ton of different transformations for you to choose from. It's hard to pick my favorite cards.
There's also domination/subjugation peppered in there for people who enjoy that sort of thing (me!!)

Despite the game being relatively new, it's a full game (with a beginning and multiple endings) and a new type of game mode that was just released as I'm writing this.
It is one of the most creative text-based games I've ever played.
It's fun, hot and every new play is a bit different, especially with new cards being added with newer updates.

I've noticed most complaints about Campus Magnum revolve around it being difficult to play / hard to understand. That's part of the charm and the characters are as lost as you are the first time around. There's a bit of Russian Roulette to it and I like that fact. Makes it real-er, like an actual card game you'd play with your friends. Plus, you understand it fully after a couple times.

Finally, I totally wrote a scene for it and I wouldn't write a scene for any game that isn't at least 5 star worthy.

5 stars!

I decided to also post this in reviews, since so many people seemed to like it.


I legit cannot follow this, the text and language is already cryptic and confusing, having to play as 3 different protagonist that are all basically the same but with different colors, well that just made this imposable.
On top of that, the lack of any content images made this very unappealing.

The story is the typic TFcard game deal, only this time you play as all 3 characters and have no idea what anything does. At least I think the characters aren't meant to know as well.

I don't have a lot to say, but this is an especially good game that has an actual "game" aspect with win and lose states. There's a wealth of content, and there's a lot of juicy bits regardless if you win or lose, instead of other games that force you into playing a certain way to get to where the majority of the porn-y content is. Props for also being one of the rare M/M focused games out there, in addition to feeling quite polished for such an early release unlike some other games.

In it's current state the game feels like it's pretty complete, at the very least a complete level 1/ first scenario. It's not about the destination so much as enjoying the journey. Games could be played in about 2-3 but if you take your time could run you up to around 10 minutes if you don't get distracted.

Content like 'deck' expansions could be added, and alternate rules. Might be nice to further expand on sex scenes or personalize the effect text to each of the 3 characters.

Really needs some polishing on text presentation/beautification. You have to scroll quite a bit, and want to take the time to read.

Your not going to be overly in control of the situation, even when it's your turn, the other player(s) can pass the effect, though it's confusing on if the card rebounds on you if they say no or not.

There is seems like there should be some moderate variants on the endings, one I got implies it plays out the way it does because the winner could no longer play sports, so there should be a opposite outcome where they when but are bukly and masculine. Not sure there are altnate outcomes.

The text really does need some tlc, the content wasn't but but it was geared towards things society would consider deterimental.

There is life in the concept, but it needs some help shining through. It might be nice to expand the effect lists per card, instead of suggesting 3 words when you pick a card, to bring up the full word choice.

Creator should probably look into spacing between choice boxes, and general spacing in long paragraph chains, perhaps take out a few line breaks.

Not sure if the accept/Reject feels right, it takes a lot of agency away. Might be more fun to play a card with a guaranteed effect at one player, and give them the option to take it or pass it to the 3rd player. That way the effect you want to see is going out, just maybe not where you'd like it.

I if the Truth/Lie mechanic is affected by npc preference, that could actually be amazing, if you could kind of exploit it to always get the effect you want by knowing the npc and the current alterations to them.

Personal opinion wait on the next version or two to be released, and only play it if you get off from reading sex scene.

It does like to throw obscure english words around, and i think it misses 1-2 of them. Learning is good though, even if they are more latin then english.

A wonderful MM diversion text game. Hot, fun, and fast game. You can sit and complete the game in one sitting but with the randomness and variations, I can see myself enjoying coming back to those over and over There is nice attention to detail, for example, while this is a text game, the images used for the cards and the graphics for the players are clean and smart.

I love that the card names are intentionally obscure so that, like the characters in the game, we are always somewhat in the dark about exactly how these cards will impact the characters. It means that you don't ways get the ending you want but if I always got the ending I wanted then I would not have discovered just how hot some of the kinks in the game could be.

So, like I posted in the discussion forum, don't try to completely master this game, play as the character in the game. Let random, strange, hot, exciting, repulsive, and sexy transformations happen and be happy (or sad) that it's just a game and you can go back to your life with normal size feet and an ordinary amount of body hair.

Oh, and the writing for the scenes is top-notch. You hit it out of the park.

Big thumbs up!
