    Decent enough game, but a bit of a tease when it comes to giving you any sort of meaningful emotional or physical progression with most of the main characters, therefore is only 3/5 stars.

    Would do a lot better with some better storytelling - the characters are kind of all over the place and seem to change every update, and the plot is non-sensical at best to fit in as much spanking as possible at every opportunity.

    “Cure My Addiction”

    First I thought this is just another generic 3d render model game, so I didn’t give it a chance until recently. After having played version 0.71 with a completion rate of 100 % I’ve got to admit, I was wrong initially.

    Although I’m not into femdom, which can be skipped by the way (but there are only a few scenes and since I wanted to see everything, I didn’t skip it), this game really dragged me into it. It’s also not the quite heavy spanking content during the whole play through, since I’m not into it, which kept me playing, but the scenario as a whole, the beautiful setting and nice renders.
    The latter differ in quality in my opinion. Emily, the redhead, is done with a superior quality, very realistic, 1 A quality render, the dev must have put a lot of love into it, while the others don’t look as much realistic. Still well done, no doubt, but there is a gap, when you compare the render quality. The others look more artificial concerning skin, faces and body compared to the redhead.

    Concerning gameplay, most of the time, you have to be in the right spot at the right time and talk to the npcs. As you continue, you’ll unlock more and more content. Some quests are linked to each other, so you have to check “notebook” and “progression” screen regularly. You can do it without a walkthrough since most of the time the explanations given to you by the game are sufficient. There are small exceptions, where I had to ask around in the forums. Since I didn’t know this game, when I started it and since it’s not yet completed, I feared there were still a lot of bugs or situations, where you’ll find yourself stuck. But to the contrary, this game hasn’t got dead ends, which is a mayor plus of this game. With a little bit more patience and checking the “progression” or “hints” screen, you’ll manage to complete it.

    The gameplay has got three main settings so far, which can be described as Yacht 1, Island and Yacht 2. It’s recommended to complete Yacht 1 with 100 %, before advancing to the island and Yacht 2. The new island location after Yacht 1 can be delayed, as much as you need time in order to complete the previous stage of the game. You’ll be able to get back to Yacht 1 from Yacht 2 during dream sequences in order to replay earlier content, which is a nice option of this game, but you won’t be able to finish unfinished quests. So keep that in mind and don’t advance until you’ve got 100 %.

    Yacht 1 in my opinion was the most challenging part, players are eager to unlock everything and the specific game design keeps you hooked and playing. The island changes gameplay a little bit, since the player is in charge now and his decisions have got consequences. It’s a nice change, which adds a lot of new opportunities to the game and feels like a reward for the player. You’ll be able to get back to the island from Yacht 2 from time to time in order to unlock other paths. Again, you can’t miss out content, which I really like about this game. Yacht 2 unfortunately is the weakest part of the game so far. The graphics are well done, better than on Yacht 1, but the gameplay itself is rather boring. It seems like every progression unlocks simply by skipping time. Of course you still have to talk to npcs but it feels like as if on rails. I lost a lot of motivation during my playthrough of Yacht 2. Gladly the player is allowed to take a break from this rather unchallenging later part of the game by going back to the island in order to explore different paths.

    I still can really recommend “CMA”. It has got some improving potential concerning gameplay on Yacht 2, which feels very passive and concerning render quality gaps between npcs. But those are the only points of criticism so far in my opinion. Have fun and consider to support the dev of this lovely game!

    One of the best games i have witnessed. the story is dynamic and broad. very good renders i loved the revamp of the game , it was good transition. so realistic renders, the progression of the story is good not rushed. i would like to have characters to be somewhere at any given time than to have some characters completely missing from the game at certain times, but a master piece indeed. keep up the good work.

    tl;dr:
    It's a game about spanking ladys. You can be spanked yourself but that's optional. Good render quality, excelent game overall. The spanking game with the most content here.

    Story
    The Story is plausible enough not to break the immersion.
    I like it.

    Originality
    The game does nothing brand new, it just sums up other games

    Renders/ Animations
    The Renders are top quality. Really gives you something to work for.
    There are not much animations so far but I prefer good reders over
    shitty animations.

    Sound/ Voice Acting
    Only one scene with sound so far (?) but it's not really needed.
    Voiceacting would be aprreciated of course.

    Playability
    A big Bonus. This game is accessable an has few frustrating moments. It's simply FUN and that's what a game is supposed to be.

    Performance, Bugs
    ok

    Grammar
    I'm not a native speaker, so who cares ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Amount of content
    HUGE content with exactly the right amounth of grind (which is not much^^).

    Great storyline, well executed, great graphics, well thought out GUI. All the characters look great, dialog is well done. Built in walk through is very useful. Status idicators help you understand the things you still need to do

    When characters are interesting, rendering is high quality, and story, even if outlandish, is also exciting, i become a patient and stubborn player, not too concerned about grind.

    This is exactly how i feel about this game. To start with, I went to the island enough times to explore the various twists. For the first few times i did not focus on one path each run. Then I started with focus on completing one path at a time and saving the end to come back and go through the next one. Finally I had a save spot with all four paths completed at 100% of the island.

    This was great, and it was excellent start for version 6 as it allowed me to chose how to start the new version by selecting one path. To my surprise, i found out after some playing that I could go back to the island, go through a new path and come back to the boat to start new sequence of events. I loved that as it gives so many potential game fund and continuation. Very well executed. But what's new about that, the game is well executed from day one.Yes there is grind, but it is more than justified for players who pay attention and learn when to "skip-time" focusing on the story.

    Great game, in my humble opinions one of the best around in terms of rendor and general plot. Spanking features a fair bit and while it may not be everyone's cup of tea, i suggest sticking around still as the rest of the content are amazing. Also one of the very few games with an asian character/art in the plot

    Pretty good game overall, and better than most sandbox games

    + Dialogue is well done, entertaining, plenty of humor and interesting scenarios
    + Do you love spanking/some femdom? Then you'll LOVE this
    + MC is hilarious to watch, in how he manages to convince everyone around him to make things go "his way". ( Not the usual horny brat, that does chores around the house)
    + Renders are top notch, unique and great looking models ( mother especially is one of the hottest characters in VN)

    - Bit "too grindy", repetitive ( though nowhere near as most similar games). Timing based system where you have to make choices ( which characters to pursue), in limited amount of time, would be better
    This would add more replayability while making it seem more plausible ( well, as far as it goes in porn VNs)
    - No rollback function, or any music
    - Hint system could be more precise at times

    Overall, this is ( one of )the best sandbox games out there and a step up compared to many, many similar games.
    ( I typically rate games a bit lower than most people here, so 4 is by no means a bad rating here)

    Goblin Baily: DILF

    this is like a popular porn game on a boat: a grindfest with an unintuitive interface, for this reason it should get 1 star butm here comes the reason it should get 5 stars:
    1) the women are incredibly fuckable looks and personality wise
    2) there's liberty of choices for a sandbox game
    3) the premise, MC is addicted to porn so he's sent on a boat fulll of pussy galore... yeah that's gonna work....
    overall a decent game to pass logass waiting hours

    Have you ever wanted to live in a boat? Have you ever wanted it while surrounded with beautiful women? And have you ever wanted to spank them? Then CMA is the game for you.

    The game combines everything good about a sandbox game, a plethora of repeatable events depending on the time of the day, multiple characters with a lot of content and an ingame hint system to skip the usual tedium of being left in an open field without knowing how to progress.

    All the women are beautiful and fun, each of them with a different personality. You want the bantery type? The dominating one? One to roleplay with and dominate? Or maybe you prefer trying to warm an icy woman? All of that you will find here.
    Overall a very fun, sexy and interesting game. Easily a five stars.

    Try the game, do it for Emily. You'll punish yourself for not having played it sooner.

    It's simply amazing. The story is quite simple and some may even call it trite but it gets the job done, it makes me motivated to explore the game and see what it has in store for me. The gameplay is fine, the game always gives you hints at what to do next thus you never find yourself lost in this sand box not knowing what to do next and just aimlessly clicking through images expecting some event to pop up. As for renders, it's nice but there's still room for improvement, I'm sure devs will get better with time. Overall, it's a great game so far and I can only hope that developers will keep delivering quality updates.

    This game is absolutely fantastic. I came into it with low expectations, and only because I liked the look of one of the character models. And when I had to decide early if I wanted to bypass certain content that I wasn't into, I was worried. But it turns out this game is HUGE, with a ton of options, possibilities, and consequences for your actions. I kept expecting/fearing it was about to end, only to be met with more content.

    There are a few rough edges, for sure. Some of the dialogue makes it seem like English isn't the writers native language. Some of the hints are a bit obtuse. The game could really use some kind of journal/notebook system to keep track of the characters routines. And personally, I only had one of the characters I was really into, but in order to move the story along and get new characters, you have to have unlocked all the context with existing characters, which felt a bit grind-y.

    But, overall, this is a fantastic execution of a simple concept, and the variety of renders is wonderful.

    The main thoughts that occurred to me when I first played are:
    • The controls are those expected from games providing a gameplay using a combination of time slot / rooms.
    • The renders are quite beautiful
    • A large amount of grind is necessary to achieve anything
    • There is no history whatsoever, only some few related missions, not event clearly explained in the log.
    That's why i reckon i'm a bit harsh on my evaluation. I know many of us like these games, and like to crack them open like jigsaw puzzles. I've spent many hours on these kind of games too. So much in fact, that I cannot stand them anymore.

    The fact that scenes repeat without any difference while some internal counter has not reached a certain value totally kills the disbelief suspension. Even in first playthrough, I kinda keep the left Ctrl key down, just to try and find a moment where a line won't be skipped, meaning I have not read it.

    It's very sad, though. Without this grindy interface, and with a mechanism avoiding scenes repetitions, this would actually be a game I would really enjoy. Nice setting and gorgeous renders are plagued with guesswork and bruteforcing.

    TLDR: if you like repetitive grindy mechanisms, this game is for you. If not, well, look elsewhere.

    this game has no story

    we have to do and remake and still do the same things, always the same scenes, repetition and redundancy to excess ... unbearable

    no story, we strive to always see the same things to finally realize that without the walkthrough we come to nothing follow

    the walkthrough to only unlock images of sex ... this game is totally devoid of interest

    the game is beautiful, the graphics are very nice, (renpy), beautiful girls
    I did not see any bug for everything i did in the game (70% of version 0.5.2) for those who arent very interested in a real story (VN) this game can be good

    This is quite simply the best game of this type out there.

    The characters are really great, all different with their own stories to match their personalites.

    Dead easy concept of been in the right location at the right time, and choose the right dialog.

    It's also great because you can replay the scenes and try a different option.

    Even with the progression guide , it still makes your think.

    Love it. (y)(y)(y)


    Loving new graphics and interface changes. Island is a nice mini break. Good stuff

    Segmentation Fault

    When I first heard about CMA, I was a bit reluctant to try it, because I'm not that big on femdom content. Luckily I decided to play it anyway and now it's one of my favorite games in the genre.

    - The story and setting are quite original
    - The characters are well developed and you can see them evolving as you progress through the story.
    - The render quality is excellent and consistent.
    - The interface is very clean and easy to use.
    - The few bugs that pop up are usually squashed very quickly.
    - Regular updates with a lot of new content each time.

    For me, the ultimate benchmark is that I'm looking forward to the next update as soon as I've finished the last and with CMA that's definitely the case. Strongly recommended for anyone with a soft spot for D/s content.

    One of the best game out here. It really has the greatest of balance between a sandbox and a VN, which gives the action a perfect pace according to the player's findings. The characters each have personalities, and the domination you may exerce on them feel real, based on how mundane - yet compelling - your interactions with each of them started. Moreover, the main hook of the game (spanking of adults for bad deeds) is really rationally justified in a well written way.

    Edit: Removing a star because the conclusion gave a bitter taste in my mouth, as you get revealed that everything you lived was a twisted conspiracy and you basically acted according to the plan, stripping the player from any real feat. This stripped me away from the rewarding feeling I had of duly completing every one of the game's achievement.

    A really pleasant surprise. Renders are superb, there's not too much grind and there's quite a lot of content (at least in version 0.4.3). UI is also very good. The story is quite a cliche, but the events themselves are well written in my opinion.

    I'm eagerly waiting for more.

    One of the good games i have ever played, it has a bit of everything and many fetishes and this is what makes me enjoy playing every release even if i had to replay the game from the start.

    I am also interested with the game mechanism that you can turn it the (e.g femdom content which i am fan of) ON/OFF according to the player desires.

    I hope it continue and keep improving in future releases as i am also interested to see where the story of MC will goes.

    Good free roam game with nice quality renders. Sometimes gets confusing as to how to proceed, but just hover over the events/chores list. Just missing some real animations, otherwise the game would be great
