Well well well, I'm actually paying enough attention this year to do it, so here goes. My choices for femdom Game of the Year. I'm sure there will be a lot of rambling and lack of coherence due to sleep deprivation but oh well, engage! It's in the same vein as the example(5 is the worst, 1 is the best, though 5 is still one of the best, you know what I mean!)
Special Categories:
I. Best narrative in a femdom game.
3. Lost in Laminate (it's easy to get lost in the world of torei in this one, it's a fascinating world and the writing is top notch)
2. Nothing is forever (this story is more realistic than most and has some very nice different paths)
1. Karlsson's Gambit (Rarely does a game draw me in as much as this one does on multiple very different routes, I don't think any other femdom game has this amount of variation and craftsmanship.)
II. Best femdom scene.
-I'm leaving this category blank largely because I sort of blank sex scenes out after the fact, while I remember the rest better. It's similar to action scenes in movies for me. It makes watching/playing them later more fun for me.
III. Best graphics/design in a femdom game.
3. How to Fix the Future (I rather like the graphics in this one, it uses some samey 3d models to many many other games, but I think the creator did a good job with them and they look better than almost all of those games)
2. Shattered - (lovely graphics, more focused on the characters themselves than the enviroments)
1. The Shadow over Blackmore (the aesthetics and design in this game is leaps and bounds above darktoz's other work and I think from a visual and design perspective it might have more potential than almost any other game. It's probably a lot due to my tastes but even with imperfect rendering the idea of the characters keep it up there even under scrutiny from me)
IV. Sexiest femdom characters.
3. Mistress Maven from Katalist (It's not my favorite game, but maven really does it for me)
2. Shot in the Dark (I like all of the femdom options in this game, it has some of the best character art in the femdom genre in my opinion, also in adult games in general
)
1. Mrs. Antlers from Secretary (My favorite and probably always will be my favorite, she's nigh perfect in my opinion.)
V. Most innovative femdom game.
-I, well, don't think most games have been particularly innovative this year, so I think this category will also be left blank. It's not a bad thing not to be innovative, there's no need to reinvent the wheel.
Femdom Game of the year of the Lady 2023
Special Mentions:
-A New Life in Submission (This is very early but I like what is here rather much so far, I think it's worth checking out if you're at all into femdom, particularly into feet based things. I'm not really super into that aspect, but it comes with the territory and for those that are they'd probably enjoy this game far more than I did, and I still liked it)
-Boring Days (the pace of updates has slowed glacially and it's gotten actively buggier the longer it goes on but what's there is very captivating. Not many games go into this sort of thing with and with the power reversal dynamic with other characters)
-Cyber Fuck Dolls (this game doesn't focus on femdom at all, but there are some very nice scenes in it. I love the graphical style- fun cyberpunk)
-The Shadow over Blackmore (The only reason this isn't on the list proper is because it's not further along, even with little content currently it is great. I have faith that the mechanics under the hood which are...sorta rough currently will only get better with time much like Darktoz's previous games have.)
- Second Class (finally pretty much completed this year, it's a hardcore femdom game set in a fantasy matriarchy where women have magic and men don't. weirdly enough this whole world system feels the most unfair to the main character to me, it's a great game but at times that turns me off from it, at other times it's the best thing in the world, the heart wants what the heart wants I guess. I think it got a little worse towards the end though, I think the creator may have had not as much interest as earlier on in the project)
-The Void of Deviance (some extreme femdom in this one, it's clunky as a game and tends to crash frequently but what's there is a pretty good game and while the story isn't anything to write home about I like it)
- Hard Times in Horntown (this game is rough and ultra path specific but there's almost nothing that isn't in here. the problem is that everything is about as deep as a puddle. I check back every 6 months or so. While nothing is great in this, and the character art is an acquired taste at times, I still keep going back and have for years now.)
My Top 5:
5. Shattered (Massive game with too many paths and probably too easy to get locked onto specific paths, but I still love it. It's focused on sissification and corruption and has very nice graphics. The story is a bit rocky at parts with things not entirely realized as they probably should be but it's enough for what it is)
4. Lost in Laminate (Mostly text, set in the fictional world of torei, it has a phenomenal world building and the story is gripping. It uses few pictures but the ones it does fit the situations)
3. The Sissy Girlfriend Experience (Majority text with art on occasion. It doesn't do much new but what it does is solid. Corruption and sissification. There's a lot of grind, and the new clothing system isn't great, but you can get a lot of time in here and the story is enjoyable even though it's not groundbreaking. Not remotely realistic but fun for story's sake.)
2. Karlsson's Gambit ( An amazing serious story with the most different paths of almost any xxx game I've played. This is not light femdom. Even if there were no sex, I'd still be interested in seeing how the story finishes. The femdom and sex is great too, and sometimes a bit much for even me
It's the type of game that you can immediately replay after playing it once in a completely different way which vastly changes the story)
1. Secretary (focused on making a poor programmer in a futuristic cyberpunk setting a sissy secretary. It's mostly text with stylized pixelized cartoon graphics. It has my favorite mistress in a femdom game. It's Html so I know most people won't give it a chance, but I love it. It can get very grindy and need very specific stats at times. It can also get repetitive but honestly it made my character feel more like a secretary so it didn't really take away from the game for me at least. They are slowly adding in quality of life things while updating the game that lessen the repetitive nature and made changes to some settings so you can lower the amount of needed grind. The story is halfway serious halfway comic and there are many allusions to other games/movies like Bladerunner and DND. To many this might be a slog, but it's one of my favorite games on the whole site and easily my top femdom game of the year)
Once again, sorry if any of this doesn't make sense, just ask if I flubbed the words. I'm sure I'll see it when I am more awake. A lot of these games have maledom and futadom and other such things, please don't question me about that, they also have femdom, and the femdom is the primary reason I played them.
