VN - HTML - Completed - Corrupting Kayleigh [Final] [Xtryptic Studios]

The horrors of having to click so much, this game needed to be done in renpy at least, hell even RPGMaker is a 10000x times better than HTML.

Not worth downloading the offline version tbh, might as well go crash his server using the online version

Corrupting Kayleigh is a VN about an innocent girl getting paid staggeringly huge sums of money to play around with herself. It's a lot less grim-dark than most of the games I've played with similar subject matter. Basically, while it's still blackmail-y give her money troubles, Kayleigh can stop at any time. It's honestly pretty vanilla, though there's a lot of exhibitionism and voyeurism (which I'm just devastated about ^_^).

Anyway, while the game is very linear, with the choices only leading to slight variations on events or good/bad ends, I actually had a lot of fun with it. The characters may not be supremely realistic or interesting, but the porny circumstances are diverse and amusing. On top of it all, the game also ended before it wore out its welcome, though the final scene kinda broke my suspension of disbelief.

All in all though, it was a quick and dirty little game with adequate renders, an engaging story and a lot of exhibitionism. It's not going to haunt my fantasies, but I don't regret playing it.

Rating 1 star as I simply couldn't play it. The game is browser based yet plays and copies the Renpy format. Almost feels like it was developed on Renpy then ported to browser for some odd reason. I am no expert on development and game engines though so can't say for certain that is what was done. But that is how it comes across as a player.

Game would be much more fun on Renpy. On browser the font is illegible and the low resolution doesn't do the renders any justice.

Didn't get far in the game so can't comment much on any aspect of the game. It was simply too frustrating to play on the chosen engine with the unreadable text that is a consequence of the chosen engine.

If you are making a renpy game, make it in renpy. HTML games have their advantages too (refer to games like Young Maria for examples of games that work well as HTML) but this game format can only work as a Renpy. If you are doing an adult VN with mostly text boxes there is no better choice than Renpy.

If you are doing a text based exploration sandbox game then HTML makes sense. A few other types of games work in HTML but not a straightforward text box VN.

While as a side note - RPGM is good where you want to have a large game world to explore in 2D space rather than through text and have branching events and non-linear story. That can only be achieved in RPGM.

I just mention it here as RPGM is also often chosen wrongly as a game engine when Renpy would be better suited.

Going through the painful process of reading a small yellow font is way too painful at some point to enjoy the content. Imahge quality is a bit dated for a "offline" experience. This 2 thigns combined make a hard thing to counterbalance. The weight of the rest of the package has to be huge, IMO, to make the overall experience worth the time and the pain.

So, I like and enjoy the game, the story and artwork are good enough, I just miss the critical choices you did get with Unforgettable Dinner. Especially the pre dinner part in that game was very enjoyable because of the many ways the story could go.

I do miss that a lot more in this game. It's more linear in my opinion.

This is pretty much a visual novel with little real choice if you want to actually see all the stuff you have a fairly narrow path you are stuck on.

The best part about this is the graphics and they are just ok. They aren't spectacular nor are they bad.

The story / plot. The concept is good maybe even bit better than good. The follow through and ability for the author to actually write it isn't good.
There are massive plot holes.

As of this review I see no hope in this story improving and won't waste my time looking for future updates.

Really solid game. This is an outgrowth of two earlier games, Afternoon to Remember, and Unforgettable Dinner. In Afternoon, we were introduced to Jim (the MC) and Kayleigh, and young girl. Jim, of course romances many women but he's most interested in Kayleigh. Unforgettable Dinner follows up on this as Jim invites Kayleigh, her mother Jen, and a series of other characters over for a dinner party. After more sexy adventures, the party ends. This brings us to the newest game, Corrupting Kayleigh. You now play as Kayleigh and are tasked with completing various objectives to explore her sexuality. These objectives eventually take her to a mall to see how far she'll go.

This is a really solid game. Afternoon to Remember was basically a demo to introduce the characters, and Unforgettable Dinner allowed for Jim to have fun with lots of women. But Corrupting Kayleigh has been a nice change of pace. I like her as a character, and her interest in exploring her sexuality is fun and believable (for a lewd game). This isn't a game where you'll be having sex with 20 different characters after only a few minutes. It's a slow burn as you watch Kayleigh participate in her own corruption. The artwork is good and the situations are hot. Some of the side characters besides Kayleigh could used some work, but Kayleigh is the star of this show and the art for her is great.

I must admit I like this game. Yes, the graphics are a bit simple, blurish, uncrispy. On top of that, I normally hate html games because of their uncomfortable usage.
The big plus and the reason for my 5-star-rating ist the kinky story. I´m really curious how it´s going to continue and therefore my advide is: give it a try.
I´m pretty sure I´ll give it another try after one of the next updates.

This is barely a game by anyone's standards.
Not only are the graphics below average even for 3drenders, the gameplay is clunky and the chosen engine feels really odd in this instance.
The writing isn't very good, either - one is thrown in and just has to roll with it, and it feels like there are some spacing issues that have to be addressed. Furthermore, there are quite a few dead ends. Dialogues are annoying to get through, although I'm not sure this is a UI or writing problem.
Just from version numbering alone, one would expect that this is fairly far along in regards to developement. That doesn't seem to be the case, though.
All in all, if you're a sucker for CYOAs and don't really care about the rest, this is for you. Otherwise, stay away for a few updates.

This is decent. Nothing too spectacular, but fairly well fleshed out with some solid writing. Character artwork is good but not great. Definitely a case of quantity over quality. And I like the occasional group sex angle. Looking forward to seeing how it develops.

So, the renders aren't the best, the dialog can be a little clunky at times, and I hate the roll your own image display system, but the story is top notch.. If you like corruption stories, this will be right up your alley.

Pros:
* Story

Cons:
* Renders aren't the best
* HTML based UI is kinda clunky
* A lot of dead ends
* Dialog can be clunky

So why 4 stars? Just because the story is that good.

Terrible UI: Fixed position bars that cut off both the top and bottom of every scene cannot be removed, and serve no useful purpose (the top one has a drop-down menu advertising the latest version and a link to the author's web site, the bottom one just has a link to the author's web site and a report bug button, which is another link to the author's web site).

Graphics, the bits you can see, look OK.

Writing-wise, this appears to be an attempt to write a RenPy game in HTML, so don't expect much text, story, plot etc. Also much of the writing may be hidden under the "report bug" toolbar that you cannot close or scroll away from.

All-in-all I would probably have given this 2 or 3 stars, but what really drove me away was the security alert when I opened the file: It has embedded JavaScript spyware (Google session tracking) so that the author (and of course Google and their ads network) can have complete records of every move you make in this game. I believe the appropriate expression is: Fuck this shit, I'm out.
