No but the map is used by alot of these game Devs
Yes. What struck me was "oh they put a fast travel system in" when in the game I am remembering, everything was by foot and the game came with a giant map because people were so confused by locations. EDIT: the game I am remembering also had a dark haired woman with curves.

I ran into an issue on Ubuntu.
For some reason, some images are not shown. It looks like, just an assumption, that if two image overlay, the latter is not shown.
It shows me an error but it works still until, after the introduction i am getting a "now loading" message on black background.
Strange. The files are actually there.
And i do use NWJS to make it work.
Anyway had the same issue. I like to be forthcoming. I just started (again) to run Linux. So i am not totally new to this but i feel a little lost.
Thanks

I am not sure if this has anything to do with it.
Code:

My first guess would be capital letters. Game was written for Windows, where capital letters do not matter. Unix(Linux) based system differentiate if it is "Expression..." or "expression..."
And what I have checked in my folder this picture hides under : Expression_P1_Naughty girl.png (not ... Girl )

Ah, did not think about that. There quite a lot of pictures in that folder. :(
Let me test that.

Disclaimer: So I’ve played for a while for the first time and have some thoughts. Some of my criticism may be unnecessary or further in the content I’ve yet to see. I’m not trying to be overly negative but I like the game and have opinions on how it could be more and I realize it’s still fairly undeveloped

I have to say this game is promising but suffers in the way a lot of corruption porn games do. Namely messy corruption with a lack of slow progression. When you watch a hentai and the girl is getting raped/blackmailed and starts enjoying it quickly, that’s expected because of the runtime. However when you title a game Downfall: A Story of Corruption I feel like you’re creating a game with focused fetishes and these fetish fans will have certain expectations. With a game it would be nice to build the tension and discomfort longer and slowly corrupt for the greater payoff otherwise the games title is a bit of a tease. Maybe some of these things can or will be smoothed out further in production but I’ll give my criticism and what I think could make this game better. To save space since this is a long post I’ll start using spoilers.

I haven’t got much to say about the warehouse storyline, it’s pretty good so far. Same with the Uncles story and I haven’t gotten too deep into them but the gangster stuff seems promising. That humiliation scene early on was well down would love more of that. Besides the old man and the psychologist I don’t have much to criticize yet.

People who like blackmail, corruption, rape, humiliation etc like the darkness. They want to wait a bit, soak in the harsh aspects. A character that gives in too easy goes against the whole worth of a corruption game and sadly having your main character orgasm left and right really takes away from the build, the experience as a whole. We have enough games where the characters are sluts from the start, if someone is looking for corruption then they will likely agree with what I’m saying. It’s a shame how quickly the darkness gets shoved to the side despite that being the part Of the fetishes that makes it unique and enticing to explore.

I would love it if there were at least two paths for our main character, ideally three. One where you completely let go which is the current path and feels like only path, a path of high depravity. One where you use your competence/brain to come out of your hard times in the end, basically a path of higher morality than depravity. And then the gooey middle path where you combine your brains, your newfound slut side and get a best of both worlds kind of character. Probably too ambitious but at least it would make it more of a game instead and justify the RPGM. Plus I like the main character and think it would be fun to play into her being a compentant protagonist.
Good points.
I think blackmail is in most games rather meh. Though i think this game got i partly better.
The mechanics work in the sense that she always thinks, yes i am a slut am i. Why not? And i should do it anyway. I would rather enjoy if she would be being forced in certain actions where there is no escaping it.
Overall i think its better than most games i had played and i understand that it is probably a lot harder to make it different. From a developing point of view.

There isn't a file like that. They have a different extension.

This was it. I have to go through the files but yes, the lower case is the problem. Since, it works fine. On Windows it seems that would not matter.

not sure about the neighbours. the hole thing feels a bit too forced and i still think both should look a bit older.

Personally, i am waiting for the bar whore job and the gloryhole job. That is what i am looking for int he future. :devilish:

Can we make requests? I really wish Jane would start wearing high heels. Since she is going to be at the minimum as slut, possibly a whore, she should have appropriate shoes.

NVM, I've not read your following comment.
I have crunched version of the game. Try to change the name of a file you have pointed on this picture to: "Expression_P1_Naughty Girl.rpgmvp". It may be that engine is decoding extentions. If it will not help you can always revert a change.

Well, i renamed it. So its good now. I think it does matter if there is a lower letter instead of a capital letter. Not on windows apparently but on Linux.

Yes, i usually don't use the compressed version. Though i wondered if Android maybe an option, since it based on Linux.
Anyway, i am glad it worked out. There isn't a lot of games that i play that use RPGM engine.
I hope we will see soon an update to this game. I like to see where this will be going.
