Corruption Town (ver. 0.4a)
I really don’t understand these absurdly high ratings for what this game offers for the time being.
The
3d renders are good, no doubt about that. But that’s about the
ONLY POSITIVE ASPECT of this game.
More importantly the
corruption game mechanics are
totally redundant. Hence they get
annoying very quickly. Agnes, one of the main protagonists, is working as a tavern wench, so the player has got to do a
serving mini-game over and over again. During this mini game she gets harassed and groped by ugly clients. Your goal as a player is to
grind for corruption levels in order
to unlock new scenes. It turns out to be a
real grind fest doing the same over and over again. I seriously don’t know
who might enjoy wasting his precious time like this for hours?!
Concerning
sexual content a lot of
teasing is in the game so far.
Blowjobs seem to be in the game, too, but I didn’t see those yet, because I was so much annoyed already by the amount of grind, that I’ve quit playing before reaching such a render during the tavern mini game.
These
scenes aren’t animated btw,
just static pictures. No animations aren’t a real problem for me, though, but some will miss animations.
The
corruption taking place doesn’t feel realistic or believable in any way. All men are ugly pigs, while Agnes just gets more and more groped and harassed during her work shift and gets so much used to it, that she even serves naked and doesn’t mind the harassment any more. I can look over the “porn logic” at work here. The
main sexual fetish this game caters to seems to be
humiliation.
Something else is bothering me more:
This is one of those games, which tries to benefit from a very
popular setting (medieval low-fantasy), but
doesn’t take it serious at all.
F.e. the two
females in the game, Agnes and Margaret (the latter is just a side-character),
don’t have pubic hair. They both look like they came out from a modern day Brazilian waxing studio (not so modern any more anyway, since pubic hair is coming back and even trending nowadays). For me the complete
lack of pubes is already
killing the atmosphere of the supposed medieval setting. The
completely shaved look is just really
out of place for this somewhat wannabe-historic setting.
The
dev also
ruled out pregnancy in his game, which is another very much questionable decision. There was no anti-baby pill (introduced in the 1960s) and no magical contraception potion, only abortion was possible and that option was very risky, even life-threatening. This corruption game is
supposed to have lots of sex in it,
but without any consequences as it seems. That’s like
soup without salt. It would have been so much hotter, if Agnes and Margaret got knocked up at some point by one of the male characters (Henry, Otto or some client etc).
Summary
- some good 3d renders without animations
- sexual content: only teasing and bj so far
- redundant grindy game mechanics
- the corruption of the female protagonist is not believable, only “porn logic”
- the setting is being treated as nothing more than a backdrop (f.e. no pubic hair in a medieval setting)
- missed opportunities and wasted potential f.e. by ruling out pregnancy
In general this game is disappointing and just built around a grindy mini-game.
