Corrupt Life [v0.45] - 1 / 5
If I had to sum this game up in just two words, I would say "a mess" (heads up, I'm probably gonna use that word a lot in this review). Imo almost every part of this game needs an overhaul.
Starting with the look of the game (as it's the first thing I noticed), it's cluttered, unstylized, and not pleasing on the eyes. A good example of everything wrong style wise is the sidebar. At the top there's the plain title, then the names of characters (which are not there when you first boot up the game which confused me at first), then some stats that aren't labeled followed by those names and stats repeated for a 2nd time but now with pictures of each character too. Lastly, at the very bottom, you have hints, cheats, and your usual save/restart buttons. This could easily be cleaned up, but in it's current state it's just a mess, with seemingly little to no thought put into the UX side of things.
Next, there's no clear objective or list of tasks in the game to complete. I think the game just expects you to know when you download this game that there is at least some nsfw content in this game and so with that in mind, you're just expected to keep clicking until you finally reach it.
A great example of this is in the work option you have on your computer in your bedroom. Why would I work? There's no money in the game (at least that I can tell), I don't seem to be earning any money, and while I did once get a scene after working, I haven't gotten another once since.
One last major gameplay issue is the concept of time or rather the lack thereof. There's an option to sleep in your bedroom but never a real reason why you would want to (aside from possibly accessing some scenes). There's no concept of energy in this game and everyone else is awake 24/7. You can click through options til the sun explodes without any consequences.
In Conclusion:
I have a soft spot for real porn html games. I really wanted to go into this and like it and above all, I really wanted to give this at least 2 stars, meaning that while it's not great, there's at least some promise that it could be better. In it's current state however, I really can't confidently say that.
The devs really need to go back to square one and refine their core gameplay mechanics. Give the game something other than the possibility of accidentally seeing porn if you click enough. Once that's at least in place and working (getting it perfect will take time and many updates), then the devs can worry about adding more scenes (porn) to the game.
I'm going to keep an eye out for this game. I'd really like to try this game again in a few weeks or months and to be able to say its something worth trying and playing for yourself but for the time being, I'd say to avoid this one.
