Others - Abandoned - Glamour [v0.57] [Dark Silver]

Im guess im gonna ne unfair but seing that the images of the preview are not big brother related, im gonna suspect.

To this point being that this game is actually big brother and has already been made like 6 times, i would expect something better, quite a lot better.
The game is insanely grindy, all the online courses is like WTF are those for?

The spider sidequest is shorter than the original, i decided to keep playing to see if some of the quests progressed far from the original game, but guess they didnt, so is pointless.

After 2 hours playing ive seen peeking nudes, Lisas tits and some real porn images. And thats it, cause Max at this point is just a meme, is not even funny by himself, and he talks too much.

I read something here about souless barbies, i thought it was too much when i read it, but its kind of accurate.

If you just got into the Lewd VN dont play this game, play the original, is equally boring but the first time you wont notice it so much.


EDIT:

I come here after 9 months to give it a 1 star review but i already gave it. Shit:
I have been palying from start the big brother part, and i have been playing for 5 or 6 hours grinding the damn mentor quest to the point of almost touching. After this part, Ann takes over with some bullshit lessons that puts mentor back to square 0, also plot-preventing you from doing anything aoutisde her lessons. This is madness but later she acually hijacjs the oportunity and makes it about her. So max goes with this thing to get into Lisa, but during the lessons he kind of shifts his focus to Ann?

Let me tell you, im not grinding 6 hours one character so you force me to go after another. I understand why big brother, in all its variations died, and keeps dying. They are copying a broken formula, with a lot of overpromising and double underdelivering.

The example lissa licking, he scene does not even hint that is gonna paly out like that, is the same scene as before, but it changes allthe sudden, and since ost scenes are 4 clics, ir you are in skippping mode, you will probably lose half of it.
But this dev, and many others know shit, and dont plan their games to be enjoyed, but to be exploited, and milked though updates.

Another EDIT:
Olivias quest, also gets hijacked by Ann, Ann has way more content in Olivias quests than Olivia. First Mentor and now Olivia. Im fearing Lisa oportunity is gonna get hijacked again by someone, cause his game is all about teacher teaching someone. I wish i could give this a 0, cause it is so unsufferable that frustration destroys the purpose of the porn.

I repeat, dont play this game, there are better things out there, and this dev is gonna abandon the project soon, probably, i see the signs already.

The graphics are amazing and it might be addictive once you get into the game and see were the story goes.
However, the game is way too grindy i.e. sometimes you just need to wait too much (couple of days or weeks) for the story to progress which for the gamer means just mindless clicking around (skipping time).

The game does have great potential but needs to be sped up (getting rid of all that grinding and waiting, some is fine but currently it's way too much).

I am disappointed. After Dark Silver has already brought out great games, I was really looking forward to glamour. The graphics looked good again, too. After an hour and endless texts, disillusionment quickly set in. I tried it several times but it is unfortunately so boring and much too much text and the story is unfortunately not convincing so far. Really a pity.

This game has very good graphics, while the game itself is not demanding on the hardware.
Since the game is at the development stage and is far from the final, it is too early to say that the scenario is bad or good, but at the moment I am satisfied with the course of the story.
I wish the developer to move in the same direction and delight us with upcoming updates.

Completed the entire game (which is currently in version 0.29) for two characters, but I prefer Katya. I really like playing female characters.

Comment written with MTL.

Good potential but bigger mistakes, a lot of time skipping and waiting, hints in questlog are not often helpful, a lot of looking for on web what shoud i do , sound missing, nice graphics , amazing story, it caught me very much but have wait for new version

Overall really enjoyed the game, but there is still a lot to fine tune. Maybe a 3.5/5. Couldn't stop playing the game, but probably for the wrong reasons.

PROS:
- character models are hot
- you can feel the corruption of the main character building
- a fair number or activities, a lot to unlock.
- not a simple visual novel like many games, you are in charge of your activities and of the progression (mostly)

CONS:
- not a bit variety of body types
- VERY grindy (esp. getting money which is needed for almost everything)
- playing as a girl, the game tells us we are WAY more into guys but we keep acting WAY more interested into girls, it is weird
- acting prude and shocked my sex while being slutty at the same time

I am always happy to play a girl as a bi woman, and even tho the volume of content and the design quality kept me playing the grind and the weird sexual balance finally made me drop the game. I would say the game has the potential to be a 5 and I enjoyed it more than I will admit but too many issues burned me out in the long run.

I do really like this game.
It has a gripping plot, likable character, a great UI and usability and an amazing graphic.
I really believe that this game is one of the best... very vanilla and not daring... but still is a good time to be spent..

This game has to be the most homophobic games I have seen on this site, to play as Kate you automatically like men (713) to liking girls (33) it an uphill battle to play as a lesbian but when it comes to playing as Max there is no stat for liking men or women so I guess he can swing both ways but why would he when he is living with 4 girls. Then there are the bugs that come with every update that seem never to get properly fixed, then they talk about a save editor that does not work because for some reason the game doesn't save that way anymore. The game idea sounds like a good one but whoever makes this game seems not to care about the players at all, to play this game you have to be a computer genius to figure a way around the bugs. I RECOMMEND that you should play games where the Developers listen to the players and leave this game alone.

What can I say, that others did not point out yet? The grind, the (relative) lack of actual action, compared to play time spent (see grind above), the DRM/app-dials-home shitfest built into the game and so on... you will find several good reviews here pointing those out.

So let me concentrate on a central beef I have with this and some similar games: Renders that might be technically good (they are near perfect here) but that have no soul whatsoever.

The models are beautiful but they are not the slightest bit erotic, at least for me. They are professional model level pretty, but basically all the same. High cheekbones, full lips, slim but not too athletic build, full but not huge breasts, long legs and so on and so on. Variation is mostly in hair style and colour if anything.

There are basically no flaws, no real variety, no real character. Pretty 3d puppets, not much more.

At least for me this is beyond boring and even less sexy than a bunch of Sims 3 chars (as we can find in a few other games), as those at least have a bit of variety.

Hell even that pony game I saw earlier today looked juicier at a glance.

If you like to fap to the equivalent of a bunch of barbies, by all means knock yourself out and have fun. For me, I rather use my time differently.

Bit of a grind but love the split story and being able to choose the MC. Story itself interesting and does get you invested into the characters. The only real complaint I have is all scenes are static - no animation

Decent set up
Decent visuals
competent writing.

Godawful design

Everything is very structured, with no real choices (that I've encountered). Nothing you do really affects anything. You're just randomly going places at certain times trying to trigger the next event.

And a lot of things require other events to have triggered (Can't progress one story until you've reached a certain point in other quests, etc.).

Ultimately, just lost interest because the floundering wore me down.

+ 2 stories in 1 games. You have the choice to choose between Kate or Max in the begining of the game
+ Big Brothers characters are in the game
+ Reboot of big brother without Eric
+ Kate path is very long (in 0.27). It take many hours to finish
+ The story is very interesting (in Kate path)

- A little bit grindy
- Max path not well developped for now (0.27)

SECOND RATING, September 27, 2021:

Version 0.41.1
I moved my rating from 1 to 4 stars, because the latest updates for the Max game are truly good, and way better than anything DS did on the original BB, or the Kate game for that matter. Lisa can be fucked on 3-4 different occasions, Ann turns out to be a great character (she was boring in the original BB)...and Kira finally gets a bit more of what she truly deserves in that game.
Makes you even fantasize on the possibility of the Max game soon turning into a great harem orgy 24h a day, which what BB should be.

4 stars and not 5 because the grinding to get to this point is really too much.

FIRST RATING, March, 30, 2020:

One of the most boring games I've been trying to play so far.

Haven't finished it, but the pointless grinding, going through days sleeping for 20 hours to get the next $30 working as a maid the next day will most definitely make any sex scene not worth it, knowing Dark Silver's beautifully rendered but very boring art, with his usual little 3D puppets and their total lack of facial expression lazily posed.

Max route: Three years of game development and we've barely reached the point in BB where Kira gets tied up and fucked.

Kate route: So I decided to play this route instead, since apparently this is where all the efforts for the last three years have been put into. You play a girl with Victoria's Secrets-level looks, evolving in a world with only Victoria's Secrets-level babes, and some dudes, but she's been apparently living in a cupboard for the last 18 years, and you have to start from scratch. I mean from scratch. I mean, your MC needs to be taught that touching somebody while flirting with him may have a positive effect.

On the bright side, you learn that strandium and cerebrium are not part of the chemical elements, that sharks were on this planet before trees and where the expression "White Elephant" comes from.

As if Dark Silver was telling you: "Stop wasting your time playing porn games. Instead I'm going to give you chemistry and history riddles, and a storyline that will make teen shows like Beverly Hills intellectually stimulating in comparison. Oh, by the way, I do like your money though, that is, if you're crazy enough to support me!"

Maybe something interesting will pop up after 10 or 20 years of game development, when his patrons will have made him a billionaire, who knows?

edit: The game does get more interesting - obviously - as it finally starts becoming what its meant to be, a porn game. I like the slow but steady path towards prostitution, and I have to admit that Fedor is the coolest Russian tatooed motherfucker I can think of.

But 16 to 20 hours of horrible back-and-forths between the game, the walkthroughs and the info on this thread to get to this point? Why??? And DS is not the only one doing this. Why not spend the energy used in implementing those pointless TV shows for example, in going completely ballistic sooner, harder, and further? I'll never get it... So my one star can't move further up, its such a damn shame.

Dark Silver games just keep on being deliciously perverted, but so bloody lame at the same time. Only a few sex scenes do not fall flat and are actually arousing. You simply need to quit the game after hours of grinding and find some fap material elsewhere to, er... complete the experience lets say.

the game offers many possibilities to live a fetish that one cannot live out normally. At the same time, you have a chance to live a life that you have always wanted to lead. Taken together, one can say that this game does the secret desires of each man or woman to feel and far beyond.

I love this game very much since I played big brother before but it had a lot of grinding that I missed actions and it was hard to follow the game and the render was fine but comparing it with the new version (glamour) I think glamour is much better with new renders better than the first one and too easy to follow that u don't miss anything.

every time the developer release a new update I feel so excited about what the update brings and I wish to see big brother events have returned and to see max again with the girls (Lisa,Kiara,Ann,Alice)

1) Great graphics
2) A reference to the "big brother" - some female characters from the "BB"
3) Expensive goods + small revenue from work = a lot of grinding
4) Random tasks with an unpredictable result, it is necessary to do the same thing many, many, many times to finish fulfilling the conditions and see all the ending options.

Pros:

1- Expect the usual DAZ renders by Dark Silver, they're the star of the show here and what most people praise it for good reason.

Cons:

1- Major design oversight on the UI makes this game only playable on Full Screen for some reason.
2- DRM
3- Saves are incompatible with other devices, meaning that if for some reason you need to change your computer or even change just your motherboard it'll make your saves pretty much meaningless, also, as a result, no save sharing as well.
4- Male MC "story" is basically Big Brother 2.0, Female MC is a slow corruption one, her decisions without player input are at best moronic to at worst of a brain disabled person.
5- Big Brother is one of the games that defined grind as a "gameplay" feature, this game is no means different so await for lots of it.
6-RNG elements, which directly correlates to the grindy nature of this game.
7- Suffers from typical "Sandbox" Syndrome.

definitely the best game out there,hope it gets a lot of more better upgrades,especially for kate,she is adorable,congratulation to dark silver and good luck for the future of this game,i love playing it and maybe one day i will become a patreon

i think this game is shaping up to be something great like his other game big brother, there's two paths as a protagonist, male and female and the male is just big brother 2.0 while the female has some lesbian/threesome scenes in it. the graphics are amazing, as expected from mr dark silver. thank you for this game!

good graphics quality. attention to detail. The story seems worked. progress is slow. that's his biggest flaw. I have not had bugg issues. I am looking forward to seeing further development in history. especially with classmates.
