HTML - Devious World [Dec 2025 Public] [Devious Skooma]

Very good, I hope to see more of this game in the future, I like the fact that you clearly have a lot of the base for everything already set up so that you just have to development from there. Of the endings you can get already, I am quit happy with keep up the work.

Devious World is a hidden gem among text-based smut. While it can't be compared to fleshed-out games like CoC/TiTs or Summertime Saga, it is, in it's own rights, a game worth looking into.

The game itself is more like a hodgepodge of various ideas put into the same structure then a true linear story. It's something that would be right at home on Chyoa.com.

UI 2/5 - One of the biggest hurdles new readers will have to face is the layout of DW as trudging through a swamp of dead paths and short lived breaths of writing can be discouraging. But when you stumble on a more in-depth story, then it becomes worth it as the quality of the writing starts to shine through.

Returning readers will be able to find hyperlinks starting them on the latest updated paths in the Version History window.

Writing 4/5 - The writing itself is pretty good and explores a very wide array of kinks. one of the main issues with the writing is not in the quality itself but how the game presents itself to you. You might be confronted with the choice of going left, or with going right. Where left will end in a series of lesbian cheerleader scenes, the right quickly has you turned into a condom and used by two giants fucking. (This is the actual choice presented and the actual outcomes btw)

More often then not, this leads to the feeling that things are just happening to you, rather than you having a semblance of control over the consequences or scenario.

This is partly due to most of the writing being done in the Teenager paths, where the author has stated that the teenagers are purposely written with very little free agency and are more malleable and open to what's happening. But if you're willing to go where the story takes you, you'll find you don't mind where you end up at.

Author- Skooma has been plugging away for over four years and doesn't seem to be stopping. He does weekly updates for patreons and does monthly updates for free. He's currently been doing 25k+ words per monthly of story content, meaning that 100 of those words aren't just descriptors for your bone zone.

Overall, it's worth a peek at the very least and don't be afraid to make judicious use of that back button in exploring all of the different paths and turns Devious World has to offer.

At first I thought this game was gonna be as good as “Corruption of Champions” and “Trials in Tainted Space” because those two are “worlds” in their own right. They were both insanely immersive and comprehensive html hrpgs and the amount of content they both have is insane and they even decided to add lore to the various races in their games because their fans were beggin for more of their incredibly detailed and extensive content.

Looking at “Devious World” right now is a complete letdown for me. It’s good, but the version number, which is 24 btw, says a lot about how many revisions and edits that the base v1.0 had to have before people found it to be acceptable. I shudder to think about what v1.0 had been if people say that v24 is having a “it’s okay” response.

All in all, needs more content and if you don’t want to add to the amount of words and stuff to tthe game then at least get some damn good pictures.

At it’s current “point and click but you are limited to this scenario” state it’s in right now, it’s a 2/5.
