VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Descent [v1.0] [Ryder77]

Rating this as of its completion.
The two stars come from art work and that it plays well.
If you like fan gratification give don't give two craps about it being even remotely realistic it will be right up your alley.

The Main Character has to be the dumbest lawyer I in the world. How she could make it through law school being this stupid is beyond me. Many opertunities to put the screws to the law firm and instead lets them run all over her. One of the first things I learned when it came to law was CYA cover your ass. Get whatever and as much proof always. If you need to be sneaky and covert do so. Even if you can't use it legally you can use it as blackmail or a means to guarantee your protection. So the fact she never records crap is beyond ridiculous. I keep 3 digital recorders plus my phones. Plus cameras and so on.


This by far isn't the only incident she could have turned the tables on them not in the least bit.

It would be nice just once if the girl who is supposedly smart enough to get to where she is at the start of the game actually acts like she is that smart or at least has those options made available to her or the player to use.

I get why they chose to make her act that dumb its because it would take more work actual thinking to create the situations in which she is forced into it.

I started off deleting it at the next issue. Then put it back and continued to see how much worse it gets. Guess it's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You get to one point were you are asked yes or no a bunch of times but clicking NO does nothing you still are forced to do what is wanted.

So at that point I figure fuck it you are along for the ride because the author really doesn't give two shits about what the player wants he just wants it to go his way. So click the selection that leads that way. This turns out to be even more true when you meet Turnball. You are given the oppertunity to explain and you have ZERO option that allows you to tell the truth that your character has been blackmailed setup and compromised by the scum he has working for his lawfirm. The idea she would have any feelings about still wanting to work for this group after all this crap going on is ridiculous.

In fact at this point I am subtracting another star reducing it to 1 because it just has to many issues for me. And I am deleting it now.

Very sexy , and hot Novel with a good plot. Easy to play, with an intriguing lesbian path.... Highly Fapping

No walktrough required, the models are very sexy and have a real-life look. Many different locations , and you experience a true suspence of make the right or the wrong choice (nevermind you can roll back anyway at any time).
All these plus (in my opinion) make this game one of the best in my big fapping collection. Enjoy!!

I feel like it could have been really good, but being forced to accept the blackmail put me off. I think some early game dialog tinkering could make it easier to accept the blackmail parts and make you want to continue the story.

Decent concept for the game, but it very quickly makes you feel like everyone and everything is against you... you get no damn allies in the game, jsut people that want to either use you, corrupt you, or screw you over... yay

Graphics 3.5/5 - I liked the models, the MC is clearly attractive in the few times she gets forced to "dress up", Lisa is good looking, as is Ashley... the males as usual are trash tier with the exception of Tony, but he's off limits of course...

Story 2.5/5 - Story had tons of potential for drama with ups and downs, but after the first few choices it became drama with no ups, only downs... either slowly going down, or no brakes giant drop... Everyone is out to take advantage of the MC, and while she may not be the usual "Idiot in Lechertown", she is faced with impossible odds instead so that she cant succeed... she will have to lose something in order to "semi-win" for most endings... whether she keeps her love and ends up a waitress, or she loses her love and keeps her dream job, and stuff in between (not sure if there was one where she gets dream job and keeps ONLY her BF).

Characters 3/5 - MC/Christine is an interesting character that isnt an idiot, but again everything is stacked against her purposely just to get her to do shit she doesnt want... the rest of the cast are likable at moments, but also complete idiots... the males are all rapey, and when they are being decent folk its because they want to rape the MC, the other females either fall for the males and help them bully you, or use you themselves...

Games this good rarely wind up getting completed. It is quite excellent and definitely worth the time.

Thumbs Up
No grinding. Time jumps ahead as the story requires it rather than filling intermediate days with pointless tasks.

MC is very well rendered, has lots of great scenes, and has complicated enough thoughts, feelings, and goals that being inside her head isn't tedious.

Multiple enjoyable characters who each interacts with MC in their own way.

Multiple endings, with different flavors.

Thumbs Down
Besides MC, some of the minor characters are not rendered particularly well.

There are a handful of places in the game in which the player is presented with a choice, but the same thing happens regardless of which choice you make. These choices may be affecting variables under the hood which change things down the line, but that's difficult to determine without a walkthrough.

This game isn't perfect, but no game is so I think the 5 star reviews should go to the very best games, of which this is one.

A short game that needed (needs?) to be about 3 times longer than it is in order to keep my interest. Not the grindy kind of length, but length that actually develops characters and relationships and allows for multiple paths that truly can be satisfying. The whole lesbian storyline is forced on you whether you want it or not (I kinda liked it, but played through trying to not engage in it and basically you end up screwed if you don't lez out....) Basically it's good as a "first effort" game with a linear plot and essentially a pass or fail outcome.... But it might have benefited from pre-plotting and planning. Basically this game is "Sleep your way to the top, but it'll still cost you."

Perfect example of the could've been great, but fell short trope. The story is average, MC is rather well written, the variety of characters is good, but then... First, and foremost, my biggest problem is, you don't really have control over the story. I mean sure, you are presented choices several occasions, and they do lead to different endings, but they don't change ANYTHING about how scenes play out, or how MC feels about them. You can either avoid a scene alltogether (and even not all of them) or you have to watch how it's exactly the same as in an earlier playtrough. My second biggest problem is the complete lack of character developement on MC. No matter if you bond her with her boyfriend, or make her estranged, and push into the arms of another woman(women) she will always insist that she loves her BF. She insists so much that even if you get a lesbian ending, it's awfully bitter as according to the epilogue she just made herself to believe she was a lesbian, and in truth still loved her ex-BF. A BF, whom was by far the most boring, lame character in the whole game, and couldn't make himself liked by the player.
Aside for the should've been better begining, the story itself is well written, even if a little too liner for the style. It's clear that the creator had a path in their mind, and had an idea about the true personality of MC, and punishes the player for not going on that route.
It's really a shame, because the lesbian scenes are very well written, the renders are good, so it's really something that could've been great, but I can't forgive the mistakes that turn this interactive story to a mediocre, not that interactive novel.

maybe this game wasn't meant to stimulate you sexually because it doesn't. The sex scenes are short with no foreplay whatsoever. So far I've seen the MC fuck four times and only one blow job. Maybe the point is to just tell a story without the sex, but if that is the case why don't you put in the description that sex is not the emphasis of the story.

Great game with a variety of different paths for the main character to take. There is even a lesbian path (my favorite type of path in any game)! I hope the author makes similar games, or at least more female protagonist games in the future.

This is a good and solid (FINISHED!) game with a good story. The art is de(s)cent ^^ - and the writing is good. The pacing is quite fast and there is a lot of lewd scenes.

Unfortunately, I often felt pushed in certain directions and didn't feel I really had a choice. I played one pass first and only tried a few passages several times, so it might just be a feeling. But I would have liked to have had the possibility to bypass the lesbian scenes with Eve completely and not have any (closer) contact to Eve. This might have made it too complex for the scope of the project, but it would have been nice.

Compared to the (in my opinion) really high-quality games in the genre, the game is still missing something. The number of renderings isn't that high, we usually only have a background with sprites and rarely complete scenes. They stand also for very long and there are seldom several perspectives and so on. In addition, the characters are quite rigid and don't have a lot of facial expressions.

There is simply still air to the top and that is in my opinion a good thing - I am looking forward to a next project and am sure that this will be even better.

In my ratings list the game got a 6.5.
Here it would be 3.5 -> 4

The game is built around a compact, straightforward story involving protagonist Christine and slow falling-away of her values and self-identity as she pursues a place among the ranks of a prestigious law firm.

The story is compelling, with enough opportunities for erotic encounters. I particularly admire the deft balance of the author. Most corruption games throw inescapable assholes that gamers end up hating because the protagonist becomes too dumb to resist. Not only is this avoided here (no corrupting asshole becomes too overbearing or inescapable), you get a protagonist who is no idiot and is fairly clear-eyed about what is happening to her.

The renders are a bit second-tier, but they do the job nicely. Plus, the dev makes up for it with speedy updates, which more than make up for it. The key female characters are aesthetically pleasing enough, and that's what matters at the end of the day.

This game has a leg up on most games here in that the story is complete and finished. The writer is very talented and I hope continues to do more games within this genre.

If there are any flaws I wish the game would have been even darker and focused on elements like clothes and body modification. Also I wanted to see if she could get darker jobs for the character as well.

Good Game, in general, with render and character, but, maybe other choose and Phats for Crhistine, for exemple Good ending = no corrouption (ture love beetwin Eve a Christin (True Love = No Corrption o Blackmailng). Eve will be good for true love, but now i Hate her.
Good choose for don't accept blackmailng form Dimitris, I whish be present in future for all choise for Chrtine.

In futue i would like se more corage choise Good Ending for Relestion Chrisnte and Eve, Becouse I think she be veri good girlfrind for Chistine, in future. I would like se Eve be very good and don't let Eve Drink anithink wrong, for take Chrsits's Loyality. Eve told thrue to Chrsitne, Thrue by Thrue. (Thrue Love) Good anding, anche Chrstins chooises be frredom choose become Lesbian or not. I Would see how the legal work be turn on the best for Christine. And She will also abel blackmailng who she blackmailng.

Highly recommend corruption game.
The dialogues are mostly very relatable and typos almost non existant.
Many choices that allow everything from willing corruption to blackmail, dominance to submission, and even a few routes that allow the PC to turn the tables.
Renders are of middling quality but servicable.

So I decided to write something to rate this game, but before that...

First, I see people complaining about getting "fucked" somehow no matter what you do, which is not completely true. Yes it might be scary at first to see those photos someone takes (not sure who) but in the end it doesn't affect to the point you'll be forced to something. You can avoid what you might not like if you play smart, sometimes you have to let them hear what they want and try to take advantage of what you have. So a walkthrough or hints might be good for those who prefer to see beforehand what to do or not do.

I said in the first paragraph not getting screwed no matter what is not completely true. Well yes, in my case I haven't found a way to avoid the russian's(?) pencil but it didn't bother me because of the options you get.
The other one you can't avoid it seems is Eve, or at least I haven't found how to. And this one is pretty big here, so I suggest the dev could work on something so you aren't forced to do Eve's scenes. As for myself I don't mind as that's my main focus and the reason I play this game, lesbians.

Well that's all I guess, I am not sure what else isn't avoidable, not sure if I should mention Christine's change on clothes (I like them atm) but up to chapter 7 I enjoyed everything and only went on lesbians without being forced on other content.

So I rate this game 5 stars because:

_The pacing of "corruption" is good, not rushed neither slow.
_Story is fine, it's not completely realistic, porn movies also have random stories, some are even ridiculous.
_No grammar issues so far.
_Very good characters design and clothing.
_Lesbian + dom content <3. (hard/rare to see)
_Has choices so you aren't just watching and clicking next.
_FAST releases.
_Decent (good for me) amount of content for each release considering how fast it is.

I have nothing wrong to say against this game other than improvement on choices as it seems to be an issue based on reviews. Story is subjective, some like it, some don't, as for myself I am intrigued to see what's gonna happen next.

My Rating of this Game (v0.8 ) is:

Pros:
+ Good Renders
+Nice Closeups
+Different Game play
+Easy Playing
+Lots of Banging
Cons:
-Nothing

Conclusion:
What I like about this game is the fast Pace and that the girl will do almost anything to go up the ladder,also I love the Taste of Netorare and cheating elements in the Game,its been awhile since a good game like this came out,was starting to get boring here lately (No offense).
Hoping of seeing more.
check it out.....

Worth the download.

Game version: [v1.0]

With the amount of whiny reviews you'd expect this game to be pretty terrible, I actually found it to be a decently enjoyable corruption game. Yeah, it deals in plenty of familiar tropes, but that's fine. This isn't supposed to be Shakespeare, it's a game where you press button to try to make the pretty lady become a slut, or an upstanding lawyer, whatever floats your boat.

The renders are somewhat inconsistent. Some characters seem like they had way more work put into them than others. The actual scenes that are rendered and not just characters pasted in front of low quality backgrounds look surprisingly good, great even in terms of posing and shot composition. I feel the game could have been a lot better if more work had gone into making more renders instead of having so many "two character pngs talk in front of a low resolution image" sequences.

The plot is fairly predictable but the writing is decent and even hot during some of the sex scenes. The rare element of lezdom elevated the game above mediocrity for me, I really enjoyed the scenes with Eve.

The following review is based off my personal experience with playing this Game/Visual Novel... I try to be as brutally honest and detailed as I can, and these are my own opinions and thoughts, from one or more play throughs... The version this review is based on v0.7...

I feel like I've been here before, yet another VN/Game in the same vein as other VN's I've read and seen before in the same exact category... Just with a new face lift and separate backdrop... But yet almost the same cliché characters...

The visuals of the character models are decent, but most of the backdrops are either the same or almost carbon copies of ones I've seen in lots of other VN/Games already... Very over used... The use of zoom in/out and some camera panning was good, and not seen often outside of Japanese Hentai VN's... I never ran across any actual animations...

The script is mostly fine, with only some spelling and/or grammar errors... The plot on the other hand was not so original, and that includes how some of the characters are used as well... This is a typical corruption story, about an Intern (this time at a law firm) who is trying just to do her job... But everything and everyone around her is conspired together to make her life difficult, and like the title says, help in her Descent from being a normal woman to being just some thing for the sexual amusement of all around her...

I am reminded of so many things I've already seen in other VN/Games already... Once again we have pretty much the same exact graphic version of a heart symbol on the screen to represent her corruption level and in this case a briefcase to represent her work performance level (aka the measure of right choices to make the main story progress)… The same loser boyfriend, who is just some lazy person, draining away her money, just like in a couple other games I've seen... The secretary who is a primary catalyst in aiding her eventual corruption, doing almost the same things as in the other games... Like being her friend who's only trying to help her fit in, right!? This time though we have an Eric (I despise these Eric like characters that are so cliché and overused - and why is he always named Eric?) and the perverted IT guy... Then we have the dominatrix college teenager who pretty much date rapes the female protagonist, on more then one occasion... First by slipping her a date rape drug (only if you don't get her completely wasted on whiskey), and then getting her drunk again for an orgy where she is then determined to be the teenagers sex toy, barely any lead up to that...

I wouldn't be so bitter, if it wasn't for the fact that I felt like I already knew half of what was going to happen already... Just with a few different twists... And no matter the choices, there is no positive outcome for her... She's pretty much screwed over. no matter what choice you go with... You decide to report Eric, he gets away with it and she gets messed over... You decide to stick up for yourself against the blackmailing IT perv, you get blackmailed again... You decide to go with wine instead of the whiskey, you get drugged and she gets the tattoo and date raped regardless... You decide to not drink so much at the college dorm room, she gets completely drunk anyway, then partakes in the orgy, and is treated like a thing (rather then a person, and she becomes the teenagers personal sex toy) regardless of choice... What choice is there really? Through the whole thing, the only real choice there really is, is what level of being screwed over do you want, and in some cases, the end result is the same, regardless of the choice... So why was there a choice?

Anyhoo… The story isn't all that deep and meaningful anyway... Because this is more like a quick romp from one scenario to another... There a small bit of dialogue, monologue, along with a tiny bit of story here and there, but it's mostly just used as filler to lead into the next moment of either a choice that makes no real difference, or a situation that might have been sexy, but instead was full of debauchery and maybe a tiny smidgen of sadism, against the protagonist...

Do these developers just hate women and want to make stories where women are just totally screwed over at every turn? Of all the ways to go about a female protagonist corruption story, this is in, no way, one how I envision it really happening... Especially with a supposed Big Name Law Firm, in this day and age... And I understand this is just some fantasy setup, but it's so cliché and has been done to death already...

And I almost forgot the inclusion of a Dead End in the content, if you keep resisting the developers choices to willingly go along with all the attempts at corruption... In a way, that is the only moment where there is a semi--positive outcome... She gets fired and no longer has to put up with their crap... But that ends the VN/Game way too soon, and I hate punishment endings in these things... You are basically telling the player/reader, you have choice but only if you play along with what they want to show you... If you decide to go your own way, you may just get punished with a dead end...

Overall, I was disappointed in how this VN/Game is turning out, and how one to one similar it is to several other VN/Games that have already completed their run with this or are still in development... It's not a direct copy cat, but it is so much either inspired by or following the foot steps of several others I've seen... This is in essence a harsh corruption story, where the female protagonist is manipulated and used by most of the characters around her... No one has her best interests at heart... It is true to it's title, an uncontrollable descent of a woman at no fault of her own... The few visual stuff I mentioned are the only plus for this one... I felt dirty just playing this VN/Game as long as I did, but I was hoping it would make a different turn from the others, or get better as I went along, but it only got worse... And at a faster pace then the others I already mentioned... I will not be revisiting this one...

Watching 2 or more models in rank and file talking to each other won't create the atmosphere I need when it comes to immersion. I know, there is almost always no 1st person view in games about female protagonists but we have seen 3rd person views working pretty well! However, in this case I felt cut out right from the start. Thus I got immediately used to the skip button, I'm sorry! If there was a good story to be told (v0.6) I didn't catch it properly.

So Basically if you don't go with the choice the dev wants it's game over lol, Another "cliche" game. The models look nice but that's it. The dev tells you it's up to you but if I pick a different route it's over...
