HTML - Cupid's Way [v0.7] [shax0]

Hm, this game.. Mixed feelings. The UI is smooth, the writing is solid enough, and the chicks are hot. But the corruption goes as far as "white girl loves BBC" and that's literally it. Someone tell the Dev there are other taboos out there, because this has so much potential but falls short, imo.

At first I thought this was good not great, but the more I played it the more I realized there's nothing unique or interesting about the paths in this game, which is supposed to be a self-corruption life sim.

The basic reason - look everything runs smooth and I suppose if you want a life sim type game that isn't as deep as Girl Life or Life Choices, it's not a bad thing to have things more simple.

But this takes more simple to another level. There is no cost to any of your actions. You can slut out to everyone, and it doesn't affect anyone who you slut out too. You can both be the hottest girl and the smartest girl and none of your decisions result in negatives. You can get any job no problem, you can pursue any path, you can do it all. You even can sleep out to your teacher and it turns out he's a porn producer and he recruits you to be a pornstar just like that, like what? There's 0 resource management (yes there's money but you'll make what you need really fast) so how can this be claimed to be a corruption life sim?

Also this game has a fixation on BBC/interracial fetish and probably should be more clear about that. I love a good BBC as much as anyone (pause) but it gets so excessive, like the creator revolves the whole story around it. This game is less about self corruption (which is done very poorly) and is purely a BBC fetish game. Uninteresting corruption paths, every path is the same disguised behind a different name.

super game.
The game interface is convenient and easy.
the pictures are all nice.
the narration is very interesting and simple (even through a translator)
and my english is poor.
but I want to give a good score to the game!
big potential

awsome game, one of few games that isn't just about straight male fetishes, but that can be enjoyed by straight girls too. Hope that more content is coming soon, especially with the office guys, which werent working for me

Very nice start. As of version 0.2, this already has more content than other games that are 5 years of development in. The most important thing is that the framework works well. The base for more content to be added is ready.
The selection of pictures and videos is also fitting to the scenes and you dont suddenly change hair - or skincolour in the middle of a scene.
Definitely one of the better HTML games in this site!

This review is for version .2

An absolutely fabulous start.
The pictures/videos so far fit in perfectly with what is going on, and contribute greatly to situation, and don't just feel tacked on randomly so there's a video playing in the scene (very common for other HTML games).

The character creation is great and most decisions have some sort of weight to them that makes the game feel like it's always going forward.

The story lines are easy to find and follow, which is honestly kind of a double edged sword. I hope in future updates he keeps the things that are in it as they are, but also add in some more hidden story lines to find. It's always fun to run into something unexpected in these sorts of games.

I just hope with all my being that this doesn't end up being another abandoned HTML sandbox game because in a (couple of) year(s) of regular updates, this could be one of the greats.

Update for v0.4Fix - Still an amazing game, but I really wish that after 9 months there was more progress. The game is still an amazing sandbox game, and is still getting updated, so it's not really a negative, I just wish there was more. lol

Absolutely fabulous ! The most commons downsides of a HTML game are it's lack of visual content and it's bad UI, this game doesn't have any of these.
The UI feels really smooth and natural.
A great amount of content for a game this young.
And a great selection of images and gifs.

one of the best HTML games i have ever played with LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of content despite only being 0.2v. if you have any money please donate or subscribe to this dev because they have earned it. story, plot, characters, everything is good.

Very good ! game with an amazing potential. Can't wait to see see the next updates. It's a bit to focused on interracial for me but it's still manageable. I would like to see more lesbian action in the future too. Kepp up the good work !

[v0.2] Very seldom do I write on here or leave reviews, I've played hundreds of games and nearly all the HTML games on this site, this one is my favourite. Keep it up! Would love to see this eventually finished.

Other than a few spelling/grammar mistakes and not having any choices displayed when corruption is too low for some events the game runs and looks fantastic.

Really excellent, one of the best lifesims that I've ever played - and it definitely definitely helps that there's a very... strong interracial path, which I'm a massive fan of! Avoids grind nicely too, nothing too repetitive!

Cupid's Way is better than a lot of these HTML style games since it avoids excessive dice rolls and grinding. However, there's also not much of a reason to play it at the moment. There are jobs to do and characters to fuck, but there's currently very little in the way of story or character personality. Without these two things, it's basically just watching porn with a few extra steps.

That said, it's very early in the game's development so I'm willing to give it a bit of a pass. The chosen porn clips are generally good choices and there's a pretty good scaffold for adding new scenes. Cupid's Way could be good with more development.

Compairing with others first releases, it is a very good and complete HTML game. I liked the fact that the introduction is not useless.
Thank you for your work!
I hope it would have a lot of updates in future (and with the same quality).

Damn solid for a 0.1 release, gotta say. There are a few places where you deadend into a black screen, but the 'back' button in the top right keeps it very much playable.

One thing I didn't like is that the submission stat, which I was looking forward to, doesn't seem to be used at all, but as this is a 0.1 game I assume that content will be added over time, so I can't really take off points for that. It is also possible that it is separated from the corruption content, which I dove straight into, so I might simply have missed it.

I can see this game being solid after the bugs are worked out. Mostly the one where all images are replaced with its corresponding file location. A good amount of content for an early release. I'll keep an eye on it for sure.

For the first release, I must say the Size is quiet big but the content is already packed full off mid and high quality gifs. The Gamesystem is balanced any easy to understand. 5 Stars only because I am impressed how well the Game is for the first release.

Very good start, a lot of potential, would love to see blackmail and submissive content, perhaps bad relation with mother when having too much reputation ?
I'm also a hugefan of Finder, but it lacks content atm

A very good start for a game with a lot of potential. Bunch of vids/gifs so far on all paths and it touches a few of fetishes that could pleasure a variety of people. If you think it's a first release, it makes it even more amazing, one of the best first releases I came across so far. Hope the dev continues this.

[rev @ Cupid's Way v0.1]

Pretty good for a .1

Art's fine, good looking girls rather than the silicon substitutes many HTML games rely on.

Writing's pretty boilerplate for these. Voice quality is good but scenario's been done.

Hope the porn content will branch into more fetishes; it leans a bit heavy on a set that is neither squick nor hot for me, just 'meh': hence the average rating.

TLDR: nice art, good content for an early release, godspeed.

The game is just beginning. He is promising. From the prologue you can open or close roads. There are already interesting and perverse story choices. Version 0.1 must however be taken as a draft, nothing is achieved. I eagerly await the sequel.
