Unity - Elena's Story [v1.2] [Submissive Fate]

An extremely linear scene displaying... software.

It's hard to call this a game, because it's somehow less interactive than what I usually call a walking simulator, where you navigate a 2D world from scene to scene. Here, at ANY point in time the map has only one interactive object — your next waypoint. Yes, you read that right, you can't interact with anything out of strictly designated order.

To add insult to injury, the game does guide you through inspecting a dozen or so objects laying around as a pretext to dumping a bit of lore. Yep, this is a slave collar, yep, this is a crate of edible mushrooms. Ooooh, a mossy rock, wow! Not joking, the game does make you inspect a mossy rock. No, you can't skip this task. This is the polar opposite of an acceptable approach to lore in my opinion, as lore should be optional and exploratory.

So in essence this is a kinetic novel but with an annoying addition of walking around two small rooms. In some sense this feels like a tech demo for the content delivery system.

As for the content... well, aside that it's all quite straightforward one-tone rape, it's definitely interesting from the technical standpoint: the game has no high-res CGs. Instead, every scene is made by animating in-game sprites. So quite a bit of animation and choreography is involved, and it's done with some good attention to detals. On the flip side, resolution is not that high, the camera angle is fixed and does not allow for any variance which is artistically limiting, and finally 2D rigs don't represent anatomy very well.

Generally I give 3 stars to a good kinetic novel, and this is less than a good KN on the account of annoying walking, and almost complete lack of plot or developement. The animation system is the only thing that really stands out here, unfortunately.

Short and simple bad end VN. Suffered from some bad translation issues and the moronic plague that is eastern censorship, but other than that this is pretty good.

Hot scenes, succinct writing, interesting random lore, and really well drawn art. The ending is weak and anti-climactic, but it seems like this isn't complete yet. It's more of a VN and has no gameplay though.

Elena's Story [v04-07-2025]

Bad ending that lasts the whole game, nice visual style, good lewd scenes

Gameplay is very basic, just walk from one point to another and read/watch scenes

I'll look forward to further development and the continuation of the story

It's a straightforward VN, but a very well done VN (especially if you like BDSM content). The art/animations are very well done.
My only complaint is that it's too short. Additional content would be great.

The visuals in the game are great especially Elena. But there is problem with the way its written. Its basically a kinetic novel with a lot of walking. It has all of the problems of being draw out like a sandbox game; without any of the freedom to see new things. There are no branching storylines; just walk to so-in-so, now look at object B ( i mean there is a crazy amount of lore for such a short game).

And while I am a fan of some of the "rougher stuff" which this game has in abundance; it treats the female lead's mental state far too realistically. Unlike many porn games where they use the "tormented till you like it" trope, this one never sees that, leaving the character at a minimum level of acceptance which makes all the scenes really freaking depressing. There are opportunities for other story lines and more types of content; the ending is a perfect opportunity for additional story and a branching arc but the creator chose just to cut it.

Interesting third-person gameplay, great graphics. Good story idea. It will be very interesting to see how this project grows. The more variants of events there are, the more interesting and exciting the game should become.

This review is about the most recent "full" version, not the demo.

I'm giving it four stars because I did not pay for the game. If we consider the full version costs $8.99, then I'd have to reduce it to a 2/5. The next update is around the corner though, and I assume future patches are included in the initial purchase, so I'll be sticking to 4/5.

Art and animations are great. The story doesn't have a lot of depth so far and focuses on the BDSM/enslavement aspect but there's more thought put into things than most adult games would.

I love the premise and look forward to what gets added in the future. An official uncensored version seems to be on the horizon as well.

So, what you see here is the demo, and that's it. It's a good taste to get you hooked, but once you actually take the dive and purchase the game you quickly learn how little there actually is. Essentially, you can clear the whole game in less than 15 minutes, more if you're a slow reader.

There are no actual gameplay mechanics in the game. You can't pick stuff up, you can't fight back, you can't do anything other than move to the next icon, read a lore bit about the red orcs, then move on. Generally, the sex scenes are excellent, high-quality stuff, but there's very, very little of it, and it all goes by relatively fast. You can control it a bit via the A and D keys on your keyboard, but that's it.

The game is as advertised, though, in that this is the fate of a submissive. The main character is basically broken day 1, and then it's just reading a bunch of lore. The lore itself is pretty tiny, with a handful of story beats here and there to explain why the red-skinned orcs do what they do to the 'Ground People' as they call humans. I won't spoil it, but it's not some grand reasoning... it's a porn game, so... you know.

Overall rating-wise wise I give it a solid 3/5 stars.
Gameplay 1/5: there's quite literally nothing to do than just move and read
Story 3/5: The story isn't terrible, but it's too short and doesn't offer anything interesting or new.
Sex Scenes 3/5: High quality stuff, but... very little of it, and the only thing you do is press the F key to read through what's happening, and the A and D keys to either reverse or forward things if you're trying to skip stuff.
