HTML - Abandoned - Escort Dreams [v1.0.5] [Mindfuldirt & Sdwe]

This review is for v1.0.5 (Abandoned)

Nothing special about this game in the slightest.
You start as a male in a bad living situation in a world dominated by sex except for when listed otherwise.
Your solution?
To literally just embrace it and become a tranny prostitute.

That's as in-depth as the story gets, the rest of the game is just sucking and fucking through various gifs.

Maybe if the game reached a conclusion of any kind it could be rated higher, but as is the only reason why it isn't rated at 1/5 is because the porn in the game is decent enough to fap to.

Very good HTML game, I've been through many and this one has a good balance of content, fun, and stat management where others delve a bit too much into any of these three areas for my personal liking.

Awesome game for those into first-person MtF transformation and sex work sims. Well-written with lots of avenues to pursue and stats to juggle (plus a huge selection of webms). Mechanics for stats aren't explained well, but it doesn't take too long to get a handle on what stats affect what events. Only problem is that the farther you get, the more you get stuck in a repetitive loop with no endgame in sight. Also would be nice to have a little more freedom. For instance, you can't stay a futa if you want to get to the good stuff; you have to transition. You can't get huge fake bolt-ons to become a bimbo. And if the cops catch you, it's Game Over. Would've been nice to have that open up more story threads than just end things outright. Still, very well done.

This is a chaotic, bizarre, unstructured mess -- and a lot of fun for a while. It is a boy->girl transformation fantasy wrapped in a degradation fantasy that moves from one borderline-violent fantasy sex scene to the next as quickly as possible.

The ostensible goal is for our protagonist, Nikki, to get enough $$ together to pay for gender reassignment. But once she goes through that process, it becomes a self-bimbofication story with no particular endgame other than continuously stretching all your dirty fuck holes to max capacity.

The writing is great, very authentic feeling in its youthful schizofrenia and nymphomania. The real-porn media is not very compelling and doesn't try to use recurring characters (as far as I recall). The mechanics are fairly straightforward, with a limited number of "places" to visit, all important, and only a few important character traits to manage, like how filthy your holes are and how fabulous your makeup is.

The coding, however, is a total mess -- duplicate scenes all over the place with slightly different mechanics, duplicate mechanics masquerading as the same mechanics, unreachable scenes, the whole thing appears to be mostly held together with rubberbands, glue, and enthusiasm. This is a Twine game, and the ambitious authors inelegantly pushed Twine far beyond what it was intended to be good at. (A common phenomena, to be sure, and no disparagement of the devs intended.)

As others have noted, the original dev, mindfuldirt, abandoned the game in 2015-ish? and some further updates were released by another dev, sdwe, in 2016. Both seem to have been inactive for quite some time now (as of 2021).

I have to give this a 5/5 because this was one of my first and probably the hottest HTML game I've ever played. I remember playing this back then and just being absolutely shocked at the content. I felt like I was breaking some law in a sense. It's too good.

Open world HTML games are usually broken or boring. This game manages to make every part of the "daily" routine hot and with a very cool progression. Every little piece of this game has something that changes later on and I think that's what most games like this need.
