Ren'Py - CityDom [v0.4b] [City Dom]

As of v0.4b:

Okay, so I try to be objective when it comes to game ratings, good or bad. So here we go:

Animations/Artwork - 3/5

The models look great. No complaints here. My problem is, being technically four full updates (as of this rating) into the game, there is essentially no content outside of some like, peeking and such, and the scene at the start of the game. The dev needs to put something into this game at this point to make people want to stick around. Sandbox games are great, but being this far in with no reward is asking a lot.

Storyline/Dialogue - 2/5

Not really existent, again, even this late into development. Kind of basic one sister loves him, one hates him, and the tired mom, with you, the MC, trying to corrupt them with the help of a succubus. But outside of that, very little plot. Dialogue could use some work, but it's not terrible.

Gameplay/UI - 1/5

This probably irritates me the most. Again, four updates in, and the stats still do nothing noticeable. I still don't know what I'm grinding for. None of their levels are able to be increased. Just disappointing lack of content or progress in the game so far.

Now I want to be clear: I do think this game has a TON of potential. But this many updates in, with it already being a decent size, doesn't have a lot to offer yet. I do want to keep an eye on it, and hope the dev takes feedback to heart and actually adds some content to the game moving forward.

Cheers.

Radical Dreamer

I think there are 2 things this game is good at: fooling me into trying it out and the character models. Everything else is sub-par, especially the writing. Just the opening bit alone was enough for me to contemplate my life choices leading up to playing this game. It's that bad.

If you value your sanity, don't even try

A grind fest with no reward.

There's no h-scenes and all the stats are useless. I wasted so much time trying to grind them out by repeating the same boring nonsense every day and it turns out that there isn't even any content to be had. Developer added too many characters and is never going to be able to get out content for them all, I promise you in a year or two this game will have an abandoned tag slapped on it.

amazing game, great potential pls help the game by supporting on patreon. great graphics and great dialogues. it has a nice system and really good 3d models/renders. pls do not abandon lets get this game to number 1 on f95

I have Absolutly No idea what to do... the phone doesn't do shit and there's nothing to help you go farther except telling you to max they reletionship to the max. The game looks amazing and some scene are okay at best.

Pretty good, hope in the future we have more content and more scenes and CG for the Girls, Still early to have a great opinion about The game, but the time a have played i enjoyed. Give a chance to this game and suport the creator

girls look fine, but can't even understand the game.

intro Sandbox is very confusing, I had no idea where to go or whatever quest/ objective to even proceed. I was clicking random girls and doing whatever it popped up.

no tutorial/ guide or anything to explain stuff in the game.

I'll come back in a year to see if anything changes

I'm a sucker for this type of games: different events per hour, multiples stats to grind, different events depending on the level of said stats...
If you top it with some kind of mind control, perfect.

The graphics are good and the story serves it's purpose, I'm not need much more.

Promising game, i wait for the next update. I like the idea of progressive corruption with a good pace. I hope that the dev won't focus on too many characters with the risk of no progression on the main ones. Please focus and don't kill the game with too much protagonists. I hope too that it won't be too much grinding. I like too see the effect of my actions even if it"s a small detail.

Essentially no plot, no actual sex scenes, useless and confusing sandbox and unlikeable characters. Literally not a single non-aggressive woman, okay maybe not all of them are aggressive but they all 100% treat you like shit. I think maybe the teacher is the only one who's kind of okay.

Also it's mostly just a creep simulator. The MC is a creep and you get "rewarded" by acting like a creep. Last, but not least, the MC is a midget and it really drives home that he is supposed to be a kid, and obviously not an adult older than 18 years old. His mom and older sister tower over him, which is really off putting.

I tried hard to find something good to say about this game, and what I can say is that the dialogue is decent. The reason that it doesn't stand out is because all of the personalities are shit, plus the plot development is nonsensical which in turn hinders the dialogue.

This game urgently needs an indicator of where the characters are and better navigation, plus a tracker to guide you otherwise you just keep doing on repeating mind-numbingly boring events with no idea if there's content to actually unlock.

The characters are already ruined, so might as well go all in on the corruption aspect and give back all the shit you got, because it was all unbearable.

I don't usually gives review to games which is in early stage.
Just some typical corruption game, ya meet a strange creature then she becomes yer Slave, partner, companion or.....etc.
Lis kinda looks good but damn ya have to add bitchy lis like always, and it's pretty common now anyway.
To talk about protagonist, for fuck sakes he's MC:- main character at least make him a lil bit decent always a loser simp MC, he's a main character not a side character give some priority, anyway despite being him a total simp he have a ridiculous penis dats make this more worse, if ya really have to give him a horse penis at least give decent height he's even smaller than his mom and older sister, MC is a total shit, can't even give a good reply to his bitchy sister.....nevermind, he's full of faults.
Story is kinda okey not sure what makes it's special but still graphics is good, alot better than other games I have played.
I totally don't mind sandbox mod at all as long as it's point & click or gives at least hint on what to do, game's still in early stage so I won't criticise the sandbox mod.
Dats it there is nothing more to talk about, I hope by the time they make MC a lil bit better and improve this annoying sandbox mod a lil better too.
If things becomes better I will edit my review.
For now good luck.

In my opinion, this game shows tremendous promise. I appreciate the engaging interactions it offers, and I don't find the character progression to be tedious. However, the aspect of having to grind for multiple women, with a limit of only one or two per day, and waiting 10-20 days for any significant event is quite frustrating. Nevertheless, I believe this game manages to strike a satisfying balance overall.

CityDom was quite buggy on release (named 1.0 for some reason).
Time moves forwards regardless of save loading, or rolling back, etc...
Succubus doesn't show up, you don't know if you had the scenes or not, and if you go to check the stats after every event to know what rose/fell it would skip the time, and you would have to either reload, or go fuck it and skip an hour.
These have all been fixed as per the changelogs, and some other QoL additions.

Personally I think the game has really high potential. I like the interactions, I don't mind a "grind" for the characters.
Having a character go haywire tits up angry if you tell them they look good "flirt" in one scene to calling you master and being a slave after 2-3 interactions SUCKS. Also having to grind for multiple women where you can only grind for one or two a day, and it takes 10-20 days for ANY sort of event (looking at you Lust Village, and Sovereign) also sucks. I think this game strikes a cool balance.

Different personalities for the characters, not so much for proportions, but it's good enough.

Game is still really early on, and there isn't really any scene other than the initial succubus scene (which is pretty damn nice imo), but I really thing the game has great potential.
I think 3 is a bit low considering it might turn people off, and they might think it's meh. I personally review based on what's already there, and what's already here is 4-5 stars.
I'm gonna give it a 4, and see if Dev keeps it up, or if it's another MoM/MilfyCity/WVM situation.

i agree with the other 3 star reviews but i could see my rating going up in the future when theres some more quality of life features and more meaningful content added.

for whats currently in the game id prob recommend waiting for another update or two. or at least until the dev adds something to let you know when you've seen all available content.

if you like games that are lighter on mind control and focus a little more on corruption then def keep an eye on this.

anyway, i look forward to following this game and hopefully i can come back and raise the rating!

An okay start. As some posts said before, there are bugs. The time doesn't transition well if you load your previous save. The succubus most of the time answers you only in the morning after you woke up.

Characters:

Isabella/Mom:
Her model is quite good. In all honesty all 3 of them have good. Problem is with the current animations you don't see them very well. Anyways her character is the cliché overworked divorced mother.

The only problem I have with her is that she calls us kiddo, maybe instead of this line of code take our main characters name. It would be way more natural to call us with our first name.

Obviously we can't go deeper in her personality because of the initial release of 0.1.

Jennifer/Younger Sister:
Her personality is also a bit cliché. She is way more corruptable(in a readers perspective) than the other two. Probably the character trope of being innocent and having an early crush on mc back in the days before the game start. I like her purpleish hair as a sidenote.

Claire/Older Sister:
Her personality is basically a jealous stubborn hateful character. I don't want to spoil but it's very obvious why she hates us. It's also a little bit explained(but no deeper answers) in like the first sentences when she gets introduced. She doesn't have a lot of content in this version. You can see her bath and undress but she will ignore any advances for now.

Succubus/Smth with M(A bit complicated to remember)
What is there to tell from a personality standpoint from a succubus ?
After our incident, she helps us with information how to get stronger. Tho not fully submissive to our power, she clearly likes it a bit to get dominated.

Overall nothing crazy which goes in both ways. Its not bad but also not the biggest hitter. But thats very understandable with a corruption-orientied game in which the story always gets better after you corrupted the characters. Nonetheless I think it's a solid start and I wish that the game developer has a good journey awaiting before him.

Bugs, bugs, bugs... But this is to be expected for a 0.1 Regardless it doesn't make the game "Unplayable". The writing is pretty boring. The concept has been done before. The renders aren't too bad but the animations are indeed, pretty stiff. Hoping this improves later on because it has semi-reminance of "Corruption".

I really want this to succeed because there's just too much Futa content on this site right now.

"Please. Sister/Mom/Grandma. Put the PP away."

Currently (1.0) the game is very much broken, the time apparently does not affect by save and loading, there are barely any indcation you did anything, and some of the animation is really stiff and uncanny. The still picture looks great though
