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

[Ryder77]

I bet some images were done using DAZ Studio or Poser, does anybody know what could be the name of the "asset" used for Christine (though I guess it was anyway a bit customised) ?

I replied to your message.

 

[Jah-Ith-Ber]

Tony might have not been an outright Jerk but the second he asked her to get her company to cosign his loans I knew she had to drop his loser ass.

I mean I went to medical school and was in a similarish situation (my fiancée was in dental school a year ahead of me) and I would have never dreamed in a million years to have her cosign my loans, have her company cosign my loans, or even make her pay all the rent. WTF!? Med school tuition includes cost of living for rent and i'm sure law school does too so Tony just came off as the supreme freeeloader dickhead. Especially when he cheats and then trys to blame it on her - because she's working too hard to support him playing videogames at home. Jesus Christ what a cuck.

My only major complaint with the game is you don't get the option to refuse William at the end if you go the no Christine path. She says she has no choice? Why isn't refusing a choice considering she can literally refuse his shitty job offer 20 seconds later.

Curious how many endings there are to the game? Can you straight up beat Eric without being the pity diversity hire? I don't mind her fucking Dmitiri since the dude is at least honest about it being a transaction but the boss is creepy and predatory and you know if you give in once and you get hired he'd never let you stop fucking him without him firing you same with William.

Its a game. a porn game.
made quite a while ago by a non-professional.
logic is limited by design and coding is a monster. handle your expectations!

Good Morning.
This game is long?
Can I avoid lesbianism?
Greetings.

 

[Ulysseplus2]

So far the saddest game ever, there is no happy ending to the choices they make Chistine is bound to suffer.
Eve is also the worst an obsessed girl can happen to her, and she doesn't have a shred of feeling for poor Christine.
Interesting game, but what was the point of indulging Eve if at the end in the epilogue we are told that Christine is not a lesbian, it seems senseless.

do you have another proyect?

I'm going from memory, but I'm pretty sure that Chris has the option to refuse the job offer from William in a number of the endings.

There are many many different endings, although some of the variation can be pretty minor. Yes, she can oversome Eric without going to diversity hire route.

 

[Ryder77]

No.

There is a lot of conflict for Chris to overcome, but there is at least one completely happy endings and many endings which are mixed.

Well, you got already the "official" reply (from the game author), but I can give you a different perspective as player - actually, two perspectives.
From one side, you can consider the fact that she may have to do some "compromise" and not have it easy, but that she can still end up being happily married, making a name for herself and a studio with her husband (the boyfriend, can't remember the name now). One can focus on the negative, or on the success, and how the efforts on the way will make her become better suited to tackle anything that can come her way and guarantee things continue to go well.
From the other, although I admit in most cases I did not, it is possible to do no "compromise" and end up on top, although it means not doing a lot of stuff, and focus almost exclusively on work. And if you want a final which may be a bit surprising, but I would still consider as positive, if you did not already try, when you are at the Christmas party, go away , that was really a surprise for me, although I think in a way it is in character.

Pity this game has never gotten the love it deserves. Someone should do a walkthrough at least.

There is a lesbian walkthrough for the game, that centers around both the "good" and "bad" Eve relationships, which are for me the most fun aspects of the game. There's just something about a career-minded straight girl getting forced into a lesbian relationship, and then not only having to cling to it to save her job, but essentially being gaslit into accepting that she actually is gay, that does it for me.

 

[Deleted member 1976076]

I saw that walkthrough and, don't get me wrong, it's absolutely great. But there's a lot more to the game than that.

 

[Ryder77]

That lesbian walkthrough was really well done.

 

[Dissonant Soundtrack]

No.

I'm usually a sadist to my characters, and I have to say the latter path is exceptionally hot and well done. I see you've only done this one game, but if you have other writings - or at least could say what your inspirations were for that arc - I'd love to see them.

Thanks for a great game.

So, during a discussion of this game over on the Female Agent discord, I felt inspired to replay this game with the script on hand and ended up making a short walkthrough/endings guide.

I have to add that as a whole this game isn't for me and I think there should probably be a clearer tag separation in female MC corruption games to differentiate between games that focus on degradation and those that are less negative or even empowering. All characters except for Ashley and Dianne attempt to use you for their own good and/or sexual desires and you can never let your guard down (sadly, Christine does often have her guard down naïvely and you can't do anything about it). That said, there actually are some good endings written convincingly enough that you are left thinking Christine will end up with a happy personal life. Getting there can be a very negative experience for those not into all the degradation and abuse, though.

Without further ado I present to you my guide.

There are seven epilogues and they are composed of three factors and based on:
- Your final job description.
- Your relationship (or lack thereof) with Tony.
- Whether you've spent more time with Eve or W. King and if you have enough reputation left to resist their continued influence on your life.
There are also 8 different early ‘game over’s that aren’t neccesarily bad endings.

Career
A : Hired on merit alone.
Requires 95+ (total) career points.
B : Hired as the only remaining candidate.
Late in the game, convince someone to spy on Eric and get a recording you can blackmail him with.
C : Hired as a diversity hire.
Let Dianne to talk you into coming out as gay.
D : Hired as a paralegal.
Requires 69+ (total) career points and performing sexual favours for judge Wilcox
E : Hired as an assistant.
Requires either 51+ (total) career points, performing sexual favours for judge Wilcox, or telling W. King ‘what he wants to hear’ near the end of the game.
F : Not hired.
Simply don’t meet the requirements for any of the above job positions. Or refuse D or E.
G : Court clerk for judge Wilcox.
Reached either D, E, or F and have 6 or less reputation to be offered this job. You can refuse.
H : W. King’s personal assistant.
Reach F, don’t take the clerk job, spend more time with King than with Eve, and he will offer you the job in the back alley during the end-of-year party.

On career points:
- Points are reset to 0 at the end of every month, unless you get a good review, then they are reset to 5. This makes it hard to keep track of how many you’ve gained without accessing the console.
- Keeping good relations with Ashley, John, and Dianne is crucial to earning periodic career points.
- Reaching 95 career points is just barely unreachable without doing one or two morally/ethically questionable tasks for career points. Like: Making a deal with Lisa, using the binder left on your desk, giving Dimitri a kiss for help, or any of the more sexual tasks/favours.

Tony
His relationship points start at 10, generally doing stuff with him will gain you a point and refusing loses you one (and no more than one).
If you are still together at the end of the game you will eventually start a law firm together (but your job description will improve) if you got any of the jobs A to E. If you have broken up he will tends to marry Lisa. And if he is cheating on you it’ll be Lisa too.
- Keep his points 9+ or he will cheat on you at the Halloween party.
- If you take Lisa’s deal, he will cheat on you.
- Keep his points 7+ or he will cheat on you on November 24.
- If you go to the bar with Eve or Ashley on December 8 you will lose anywhere from 3 to 15 points, depending on your subsequent choices. Following that he will either break up with you , you can reconcile, or you can shift the blame.
- If you enlist Dimitri’s or Mack’s help to spy on Eric, he will break up with you.
At the end of the game, You will stay together if:
a: Tony never caught you cheating and you have 6+ relationship points.
b: He caught you in the bar, you reconciled, and you have 9+ relationship points.
c: You came out as gay and you have 8+ relationship points.
At the end of the game, you’ll stay together while knowing Tony is cheating on you if:
a: Tony never caught you cheating and you have 5- relationship points.
b: He caught you in the bar, you reconciled, and you have 4-7 relationship points.
c: He caught you in the bar, you shifted the blame, and you have 8+ relationship points.
d: You came out as gay and you have 7- relationship points.
At the end of the game, Tony will break up with you if:
a: Tony caught you in the bar, you reconciled, and you have 2- relationship points.
b: Tony caught you in the bar, you you shifted the blame, and you have 7- relationship points.
c: Tony caught you in the bar, and you came out as gay.

Be aware: there is a bug in the aftermath of getting-caught-by-Tony-in-the-bar scene.
If you choose 'be aggressive' the game sets an incorrect value that makes it pretty much impossible to break up with him at the end of the game (rather than the intended almost guaranteed to break up).

Reputation, Eve, and W. King
- With most choices you will gain either ‘bossy’ or ‘girlfriend/boyfriend’ points that determine whether each character will treat you like a slave or merely inappropriately possessively (with a rare hint at genuine affection). Generally, playing nice will make them go easy and refusing will make them bossy. Refusing but giving in later will make you acquire submission points that will eventually make it impossible to refuse certain advances. But refusing
- Starting midway through November, you can start earning relationship points with Eve and W. King. Whoever you spend the most time with will continue to affect you in your future life.
- Having high reputation points will ‘ward’ either of them off on all of the better job endings. In addition, the better your relationship with Tony, the lower your reputation can be. But you will still need 6+ for the best job+together.
- Having a low reputation will additionally perform a variety of ‘favours’ for judge Wilcox in most endings. This treshold gets higher the worse your job is, of course.

wait that last game over ending.... exists?? LOL never found it

 

[dasflute2]

Wow... I see I have a few more replays I need to do soon to get to some of those!

I think I've only ended up with Mr. King once or twice. I need to branch out and try those options more. Though the Eve path is just too fun!

 

[Allamante]

The name Descent comes from the French "Descente" to illustrate the fall of the main female character for most of the ending paths you've implemented or for some other reasons?
