Ren'Py - Completed - Corruption [Final] [Mr.C]

If I were to give Corruption an award it would be for "f95Zone's Most Unexpectedly Good Game". My initial impression of this game was not very positive. The screenshots look like Honey Select on medium settings, the English dialogue is horrendous, and the premise appeared to be more of the same wearisome grinding we've seen and loathed time & time again. Imagine my surprise after realising it's been 5 straight hours sitting in front of my computer screen playing Corruption.
Corruption, as the name suggests, is for players who are very much into the mind control, seduction, enslavement, and otherwise corruption genre of porn. You play as a man who finds himself the ability to lure women he comes across through the use of potions.
Said potions are where the grinding aspect of the game appears. They require money to be purchased and while in other games this often leads to monotony, Corruption has an incentive to keep you going. For each stage of corruption, the women change. The progression of their corruption is very detailed from their attitude, the way they dress, willingness to do dirtier actions, and even change how they do other actions you've already performed with them such as going from a simple kiss to a full make out session. In my opinion this is the perfect way to approach what would otherwise be a boring and tedious chore.
The dialogue. My god, the dialogue. This alone is what prevents me from ever considering giving this game a 5-star rating. Corruption features broken English ruining what would've been some really sexy moments. Being a native English speaker it's possible to somewhat dissect what the women are saying, but for those who are not then this will be quite a struggle to understand.
Corruption does not feature much of a story, and that's fine since it's clear that it is not the developer's intention to do so. It's purely a porn game where you corrupt voluptuous women and have your way at them.
This is a fantastic game for players with the corruption fetish and enjoy the progression of it. Just be aware that the text is not going to help enhance the lewd.

amazing rota of girls, nice to finally play a game where you get to cuck the husbands and boyfriends instead of the generic NTR trope Incest is also a plus and pregnancy to be added to the game. Graphics could use some work however, and very light on story (not necessarily a negative but you'll have to accept that), non-native speaker, it's not utterly broke english but at times can be a little rough, you should get the gist of it however.

Great and entertaining games. I expected the result with impatience. The women are great. We advance well in the game, we do not have hours to turn to do what there is to do. MAn just sound and music. If you have gilded the Japanese world you will love it. Should develop the underground world

This game is not for everyone. Not just because of its flaws, which I'll talk about in a bit, but because of some intentional design choices.

First things first, Corruption is a visual novel where you use potions to corrupt and enslave women in your town. It has simulation elements where you have freedom to go around town, and need to get jobs to raise money you use to make potions, buy stuff on a sex shop and take the girls out on dates.

What I think is not for everyone is how the progression works. Besides a few sections where you need to see story events to progress, furthering the girls' corruption is tied only to the potions you feed them. You have a lot of intereaction options, but they have no bearing in progressing the relationship. The interactions become lewder and lewder the more corrupted the girls get, and seeing that progression and change is the point of these options and of the whole game. This is for people who get off corruption and mind control more than for people who just want porn.

Also, this game is meant to be played slowly. If you simply grind potions and shoot up the girls corruption level in a few encounters, you are missing most of the content described above, and the thing its fans really value (which is why there's such a discrepancy between review scores for this game).
Moreover, in the end of their paths the girls really become crazed sluts, wearing fetishy outfits and garish makeup, and behaving in ways that make it clear that at that point, they exist just to have sex.

Other thing that may bother some is that there isn't much story to be had. You are out to corrupt women and that's it, there isn't an overarching story or villain/conflict, just watching the progression of each women becoming slaves to lust.

If the points I described above are your thing, the game is pretty good, if not, it falls flat on its face.

Now to the actual problems, the most glaring one is the English. Especially noticeable in the beginning (and older content in general), but still a recurring problem to this day, is the dev's poor grasp of the English language, notieceable even to non-native speakers such as myself. Lots of sentences have broken grammar or just don't make sense as English sentences. You can still understand what he's trying to say decently enough most of the time, but doesn't change the fact it sometimes feels like playing a Japanese game with machine translation.

And even without that, the dialogue and characterization are also paper thin, most characters could use some fleshing out. But then again, it's pretty clear the dev is focusing on quantity and variety of content over the quality of each individual girl. To me that is a problem but not a super major one, as I think it succeeds in offering enough the lack of depht doesn't bother all that much.

It also can get a bit grindy in a first playthrough, but once you know which characters getting corrupted open up the more profitable jobs, money stops being a problem and you can manage your time more freely.

Currently (12/2017, version 0.70) only one of the 10 or so "main" characters (as there's a plethora of girls tied to locations you can corrupt that aren't characters with their own corruption meters) can be taken to the end goal of becoming a full-fledged sex slave, with the other girls falling along different levels of corruption and sluttiness. And the enslaved girl doesn't have any interactions/events implemented yet. Still, it is one of the games of this kind with the most content already, and given the dev doesn't leave it unfinished, looks to be absolutely massive when done.

To be up front this game is about perversion. The sex is quick to get to and easy to trigger. I've read a few other reviews saying this is a bad thing so I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring.

This game is to put it simply a "wham bam thank you m'am" quick sex, a large range of content and fetishes. If you're like me and don't want to sit through lack luster gamplay and God fobid, minigames, then this is the game for you.

No bullshit just quick content and a huge variance in scenes. Does sex progress the plot? No. Is there a story? Not really. Are there minigames and time limits? Fuck no. Its porn, no bullshit.

Review based on version 0.70

To be honest, this is a decent game for a porn games. But it's different 'decent' to my preference. I prefer a porn games had an adequate story plot AND/OR have good sex scene, but this game had neither of it.

Story is almost none, progression story based on how many your female NPC drink the corruption potion. So talking is mean nothing, sex encounter mean nothing, dating mean nothing. What important is make them drink the potion and you will get the next level of relationship and next level sex scene. I found this system not very challenging and boring system. Get them drink above +110pts and you can see sex with anyone. It's just hollow.

In sex scene, it's medium at best. I'm not check anyone yet, but sex with Sister and Mom don't have live animation. Illusion Poser had live animation and easy to operate, but dev aren't use that, which I find it odd.

In short, I'm done with this game and give 1 stars. BUT, if you aren't looking for story detail, just for fapping games, I do think this game is rated 4 stars.

Thank you for the game and goodluck.

What i like about this game? Perversion. What I do not like? Perversion.. cheap perversion couse with each lvl of our corruption.. girls wear sluttier dresses and cheap hooker makeup.. they look less and less attractive with each step into the "story". I hope that it will change and that type of outfit, makeup etc. will be optional for our choosing. With each step we take it takes ridiculous direction of development. Slow, slow, slow. Fast, slow, slow, slow, fast.. heck. In this game nothing is step by step. Like one potion per lvl of perversion. Potions should be easier to get with each step we take. It will if we corrupt our employer. It is cheap plot, even worse translation. I had hope for something which would make this position stand out in good way.. Yes, art is at the very least 3/5 but all the rest is worse. Translation in english is so poor that I need to read something a few times to understand what author had in mind. It is first game in which I saw bad translation and I played other games with "bad" translation but only others saw it. Now even blind man like me saw how bad it is. Plot is bad, with bad translation it gets even worse. It had potential but it went from good game to cheap porn with poor grinding element.. which was a cheap way to extend gameplay. Good point is that it had cheat mode optional to download, couse this way my time do not feel so wasted... if author focused more on plot and less on sex and adding new characters then this game might be even good.

I like the possibility to choose what to do. In other games you can only decide in certain occasions what to do. Here you are free.
Nice art work.
Like the fact you can have girls on different levels of corruption.
Would like more heels.

Great visual novel with a plethora of different girls. Constantly expanding its features that are neither superficial or extraneous. Includes all types ranging from the childhood friend to MILFS to the hot smoking hot tease.

Nice visuals, but that's about it here. Characters are paper thin and the writing/translation is really bad. More importantly, the gameplay is extremely boring. Everything is a grind and repetitive: buy a bunch of potions, find the character, feed potion to character, see if character behaves differently, rinse repeat.

id o like this game, i like the tits, not love but then again i can be a huge tit guy sometimes and that can be a turn off for some.

quite a bit of content for the .1, and it does seam to keep on increasing with each update, and quite substantially at that. for the moment it seems that the content will be put out like a factory.

altho the file size is definitely something that opens the eyes

but i would say if u like incest, big/huge tits, corruption then this should be a good lil game for u, and i would, if u like it, keep your eye on it.
