Unity - Flash - Completed - Elana Champion of Lust [Ch. 3 Final] [Knot Games]

A Newground's classic. Underrated and unfortunately somewhat obscure to the F95 comunity, maybe because it appeals to oldfags like me who loves flash games and the art style. But it's a great game with a shit ton of scenes and animations, unique story with plenty of captivating and attractive characters and to top all that, the classic but very rewarding adventure gameplay. These games are a must.

[Ch. 3 Final]

Unfortunately, while the passion and art are all there.

This aged horribly, so the fresh ideas and game engine from its time do not hold up at all, making it a very grindy, obscure and tedious experience.

It was my first ever porn game i pledged to on Pateron so im a little biased towards this, almost nostalgic at this point. But the game is good although a bit grindy. The art style is great the animation simple yet ok. The writing and story is great. It's a game i keep going cumming (pun intended) back to see how's it doing. So a solid 4/5 for me.

The game that got me into adult independent games, bares a lot of similarity to the early flash animation games. If you like that kind of artsyle it is definitely a game for your. The writings in chapter 1 and 2 are also very good imo.

Chapter 1 was more like and adventure style.. it was easy spread rumors and use action to make people lewd and watch some action. The higher cost of the action the more likely you would get caught but you got more lewd experience for it. You messed up you had to fight and win or get arrested escape and lose some exp.

But forget it if you liked chapter 1 because it turned into a damn crap strategy puzzle game. No longer was it a fun easy to play game..... Try to guess what skill action will affect the person. Oh and every person you click on has 3 or 4 other people each with a different name. If you use the wrong action you get NOTHING. All the character building and experience you got in Chapter 1 is all gone.. Like it NEVER EXISTED! Instead of adding new skills you just lose all skills except 2! With them 2 you have to find a single person that will be affected by that skill.. It's like hunting a needle in the haystack! I got so sick of seeing the message the person is bored and unimpressed! And if you can't find a single new person to influence you get no experience to buy new skills! What a load of crap! The game turned out to be WORK and no longer a fun romp.

To change the entire genre of the game into something completely else in chapter 2? Seriously game went from fun to damn work. When you change the entire premise of the game in a chapter that game goes into my crap list. If you want to try this game out DO NOT even bother or waste your time with Chapter 1 it's a waste of time and effort and will NOT be the game you are playing in Chapter 2. For all I know Chapter 3 may have entirely changed also!

I give this a horrible review because the game starts out as one thing and turns into something else completely almost like the developer does not know what he/she wants herself. Changing style of play is so wishy washy. It would be like going to a store buying an adventure game and part way through it.. it turns into a puzzle game. As a gamer you would be upset and so am I as I wasted at least 2 days completing Chapter 1 to find that I hate Chapter 2 it's NOT THE SAME GAME PLAY!

Art: 3/5
Sound: 2/5
Game Play:
-- Chapter 1: 4/5
-- Chapter 2: 0/5

Over the course of 3 chapters, this game has supplied great artwork, a solid story, and generally fun gameplay all around.

While this game doesn't have the best art around, or the best story, or really the #1 in any category, what it excels in is not really having any real weakpoints. There's nothing in the game that actively frustrates me and makes me wish it was done differently; in fact, I can't think of a single complaint that's not nitpicking off the top of my head right now. For a game in this genre, that speaks miles. Give the game a try, it's worth it.

Review mostly of Chapter 1:

Hidden behind a grindy game layer is a gem of naughty mini-stories

Once you realize you can use cheats to always succeed at your actions, the grind becomes bearable. Use random physical and magical actions on the people until you run out of energy, raising that location's percentage by maybe 20-30%. Then explore the NPC interactions. Then go back to sleep in your Forest nest. Repeat. Once location is at 100%, you got more locations!

You don't want to raise a location's percentage too much in one go, since you want to follow each NPC's story development one step at a time.

One NPC might have different results at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. Another might not be visible at 0%, and take story steps at 33%, 66% and 100%. I don't know, those are examples.

But you're rewarded with things like a tavern waitress starting out by slapping anyone pinching her bum, progressing through good-naturedly laughing off the attention, to not minding getting finger-fucked. Or the herbalist in the Forest: stern at first, then helping her apprentice, and finally relieving his hard-on by the new technique of "sitting on it".

There's even special NPCs that have a puzzle element to it. To please the elf Bard sisters you need a musical instrument, and so on.

Chapter 2 comes off as a lazy sequel, where the writer doesn't give a fuck. Some NPCs are incongruously already corrupt, ruining my immersion. I didn't like that nearly as much. He even prevented my strategy to get to the content without grinding (NPCs respond only to physical or magical actions, not both).

Art: The design of the game is odd, but in a good way. My only complaint is that it's a bit tame in terms of fetish content, but that is up to personal taste.

Story: For once, the sex focused nature of the game is consistent with the setting and theme of the story. The main complaint would be the lack of a true story arh for the main female, it's her story, and they could explore her personal arc more.

Gameplay: The main plus is that the game incorporates the pornographic content in every aspect of the game. Unlike many RPG games in the genre where the core gameplay is just standard, turn based, drink-a-potion garbage. The main negative is that it's grindy...but...cheats...

Developement: The first part of the game, that is a standalone game is..wel..finished. The second part is being made a bit to slow, but the devs are posting regular updates and has shown no signs of buggering of (the state of this industry is in the gutter...).

Overall, a 4/5 game, with reservation for further developments.

Was here during chapter 1. It has been a fine trip.
The animations and art have a charm that makes them look so good.
The aesthetic of the whole game is set upon "corrupting" people who have forgotten what pleasure is. The events/scenarios in the game are really enticing. This is a really great game I recommend it to everyone reading this!

Love the game, honestly surprised it doesn't get more attention. Sure, in some ways the art can be a little jank, but I think their details on the stuff that matters is good, and all of the animations are pretty fluid. A significant amount of well made content, especially for a completely hand drawn game.

Update from 2024:
It was grindy at times, and by replaying as updates were still coming I tuckered myself out, but I always really enjoyed this game, the diversity of content, and weirdly enough how much fun Elana and a lot of the other characters were usually having. Definitely still a corruption genre game, but it really felt like everyone was discovering themselves instead of just being forcibly bimboified- not that I don't like that sometimes, but through and through I felt even as Elana made society sexy, it felt like the characters all remained themselves, and minus magically reduced inhibitions, progressed through their sexual transformations very naturally. I think the perspective of the game is that the world is beautiful and love is beautiful, whereas I think a lot of corruption games or more ambivalent or pessimistic (though I will say again I do like that sometimes). It was a nice change of pace and I wish more corruption games were better at riding that edge.

One of my favorite in-progress games.

Bit of a grind, but there's a lot of art to see in Chapter 1 and a lot of decent writing backing it too.

I wish they hadn't bothered with the combat minigame, it's glacially slow and unrewarding. Luckily you can mostly always flee out of it.

Graphics are idiosyncratic and there is some grinding but overall this game has great writing

Interesting and original artwork, creative gameplay
