Ren'Py - Corrupted Academy [v0.351] [BolHeX]

3 stars for the effort and the unique in a way idea.

Unfortunately, i can't give more stars because the game after the initial excitement, feels repetitive. I was expecting some grinding, but it's getting too much at times.

The worst part though is the use of the videos and gifs. It's so inconsistent which is crazy since you could easily find the right gifs for the right models. I know it will take more work and time, but adding random gifs of other girls when you're interacting with a certain model kills all the mood.

Personally I feel like droping the game because of it. I'll wait a few updates to see if anything got better, but I won't hold my breath.

This game showed a lot of promise but MFG it became too tedious and boring. The scenes were not consistent at all. "Grope boobs" on a small titted girl. Scene with huge floppy boobs was shown. The management was slow beyond any reasonable limits even for a Real Porn game. I don't know the reason to why there were companies you could do requests for as they asked for things you couldn't acquire and you lost reputation. The money you needed for passing rules weren't even close to be reasonable to the level of money you could get ( $120 per week and a rule change cost $250 at it's lowest) The progression and corruption of the girls didn't make sense either. The game also bugged out after a while "Remove/steal jeans" even though you expected to remove their bra...
If this game fixed the issues with the grind and the renders instead was DAZ or even HS models it would be 69 times better.

Unfortunately this game doesn't deserve more than 1/5 and I honestly don't understand how this game could be at almost 5 at the moment (v0.2513)

It's a great game that gives you lots of opportunities to interact with the students and their mothers.
While you're busy fulfilling the wishes of the sponsors to get money to expand the school.

good

After the first few weeks, the game becomes incredibly repetitive and stale.
Hopefully more gets added in the future. The lewds are good quality at least.
It's amazing how compressed most of crap you will find in other games will be.
Game becomes a snoozefest after a very short while.

Great addictive game BUT - too many inconsistent and random events with the main girls, you kind of want to choose conditionally riley reid,elsa jean or other girl but instead of seeing her content you see a bunch of clips that replace her, yes somewhere there she is, but is present only in school events, and not always in a group event.

I have high hopes for this game. Unfortunately, the game is a carbon copy of previous academy titles instead of just making with own thing with the same theme. There is no question it has more content than the others but the photoshoot mechanic takes up way too much of the games content. I would like more visiting, favor and blackmail mechanics and more events.
I don't think this game needs to play into the pornstar is a character thing, generic characters with body type tags would accomplish the same thing with easier to find content.

Great concept, excellent so far, good integration of visuals with game play and picture/video. Hope to see it continue to develop. School concept is prime for expansion in fun and unique ways given the game concept. Including mothers increased interactivity in a good way.

This game is an excellent management sim. There is a smooth curve in lewdness and the gameplay is fantastic. The only thing it needs is more content, but even at this point you can put in many hours into this game without running out the things to do. Highly recommended for people who enjoy management sims and gradual corruption. Balance is kinda wack at time of review though

I quite enjoyed this game and what is available so far, dev is very clear that it's been inspired by other games and I think it's built on the foundations extremely well and smoothed out a lot of what was lacking in the others and provided it's own new ideas.

I really liked:
- Random events with the different girls
- Current amount of girls have a lot of photoshoots so you feel incentivised to spend time on boosting their stats as well as some unique events.
- Clear sense of progression with the girls by keeping track of Affection + Corruption, and being able to tweak these further with home visits
- How each system that is included has enough content in it to be worthwhile, I don't think there's much placeholder stuff here from my experience
- It's early days but Dev says they have included modding support, I am really keen to see how it progresses and think that this will really help the game in the long run (It's also beyond me to mod so I'm taking their word for it but I'm very happy to see it)

What I would like to see:
- More content but that's not a criticism as it's pretty much a first release
- Further expanded systems to keep the game moving, at a certain point you don't have much incentive to keep boosting girls once their stats are high enough. So something like a relationship system, graduated girls coming on as Teaching Assistants, the principle being a potential love interest. I can tell the dev is already toying with this due to the implication of player stats based on dialogue options outside of exams.
- I also noticed that some of the school board meetings have policies that seem to be in effect even if you don't take them like softcore and hardcore photo shoots so some further clarification on what these policies do might be help (I might be missing something on my end)
- I think the main thing that will help the longevity and growth of this game is just the dev to keep updating it and devoting time to it as obvious as it sounds. I think them streamlining and smoothing out systems as they have done speaks to a desire to improve things / vision of where they want to go so it's a good sign.

I've got a lot of good to say about this game and find it quite engaging, I'm very interested to see how it progresses!

Some things that kinda breaking the atmosphere for me:

1: when you are interacting with a blond girl but the picture/animation shows a complete different girl.
I rather see much lesser content BUT the existing should be consistent with the girl you interact.
No other hair, no other girl, if you have to use AI do it- but this is game breaking for me.
The immersion is gone otherwise

2: The progressing is way to fast.
You can play the game for 20min. when you done with the first week and and visit the girls with 50 affection and 50 corruption, it feels like that you already half done with the game.
Saying keep the corruption steps shorter and limit the available option during X-Scene.
There is not much reason to even keep playing after the first week if you come this far.

Besides that I really do love the corruption genre, and in general the game is simple enough to be a hit but the execution/implementation should keep track of such details otherwise it feels more like a compilation of random X-scenes. Which delete the whole purpose for me even investing time into such a game.

Best of Luck for the Dev.

This is really fun so far! Can't wait for some more girl specific videos! It's a really neat and different concept that I haven't seen before. I really like where this is headed. The included photo and video shoots are a nice touch as well. Even though it feels a little grindy the variety of girls when you choose random is enough to keep it interesting each day. I also like the concept of being able to create rules it gives a more powerful feel to the game.
