Unity - Hail Dicktator [v0.74.1] [Hachigames]

It gets better and better with every update.

Definitely my favorite game to play right now.

Very good bondage, spanking, discipline scenarios.

Definitely recommended if you are a softcore bdsm fan.

Ver. 0.9.0 review:

I finally tried this one after just ignoring it these past months- and now I wonder why I ever did that, yet at the same time I'm glad I did. The amount of content these past few months is just amazing; I was ultimately hoping for more real penetrative action, but I still enjoyed the game as a whole.

The models are just beautiful, with real variety and distinction in both body types and attributes -- too many works on this site feature models with the main point of difference boiling down to hair style/color and boob size. And that's if their designs had any effort put into them at all.

Then you also have models where creators try really hard to make them distinctive and "unique," only to have them look unnatural at best and pretty goddamn ugly in certain lighting at worst. On a similar note, the girls here are are capable of emoting quite well without turning into grotesque clay figures- even more impressive, is that they do so with that ever gnawing "artificial" feeling toned way down.

TL;DR: They feel real, yet still look good.

Other high points are the amazing QoL features, so it doesn't feel like a complete slog trying to get anywhere. The UI is detailed and helpful, but not cluttered and obscuring. And then you have the glorious ability to roll back. And the incredibly ability to skip. In a Unity game! Other coders need to take notes. Seriously.

The writing is also very good; both grammatically speaking and plot-wise. Errors are are minimal, and the formal is very light on the eyes. Plot-wise, flow and structure are well done and I really never felt a scene or event was dragging too long. The setting and other plot elements are also enjoyable, serving to facilitate the fetish focus without anything truly out there- at least by porn standards.

My only hope going forward is that penetrative sex gets more feature and focus in future versions' events and scenes. Alice' "Punish Me" scene was HAWT and repeatable variants, for her and everyone else, would be AMAZING. Would also definitely love to just cut loose and take Sonya in the middle of the town square or on the cafe counter during her exhibitionist moments.

As of version 0.10.2 - my opinion has not changed. The game is still a marvel.

As of 0.9.0.

It's been a while, since I have rated something with 5 stars. It was a refreshing experience! Basically if you are in to BDSM of all kinds - download the game and play it. Now. This is the tl;dr version. The longer one follows.

Hail Dicktator. I admit I went in with very low expectations. The pitch is just... meh. Run a hotel, punish chicks that misbehave...
What I got was well worth the hours I invested in it.

The Story
Can't say much about it without spoilers. Currently it has no real branches, but after the first 20 or so minutes it becomes from "ok, that's just dumb" to "huh, intriguing". At the second hour I was theory crafting what will come next and in most cases I couldn't predict it in the slightest.
It's not Russian classics (tho it has enough suffering to qualify for being one), but its decent. You Uncle is actually alive and supports your efforts as much as he can - a breath of fresh air next to all "your uncle died and you inherited X" plots.
There is a lot of humor if one likes more over the top writing. I started very skeptical, but went giggling pretty soon and out right laughing very quickly after that. Expect over the top shit everywhere (if the gal with a gun a few paces aside from the gall with the sword on the main image didn't prepare you for that), but it fits perfectly with everything else in the game.

Characters.
Simply put - they are good. I like some girls more than others, but all of them are well-written and stay consistent throughout the game. You'll have some serious fun with them all (well, with one exception for now). I must warn people, that there is one girl who is blackmailed in to participating in the BDSM stuff. She is a royal bitch and above, so I didn't feel bad degrading her, but I know some people are really off putted by such things. There is also a really toxic relationship between her and another girl, before stomp her in the ground. Otherwise, everybody else is a consenting adult and an eager one at that for the BDSM parts.
Most of the characters are very competent at what they do, but the MC is not a pushover himself.

Gameplay.
I mean, it's there. There is a gameplay loop, that you do to gain money, but staying afloat becomes more than easy at the later parts of the game. Making money just speeds up things in the game, it's not a bottleneck or a fail state.

The engine.
if you ever wondered why people say unity is better than RenPy... well, this game shows it well. Good engine, good UI, a very helpful and useful quest log. Great gallery. What more can I say?

As a whole - it's a great game, that you can't loose. Why aren't you downloading it already?

Very good game to my Likes.

The renders are good and the characters are pretty/cute. no animations, I rather have good static renders that make the characters feel alive than mediocre animations that make them into uncanny androids.


What pushes it into five star territory is the strong dominant/submissive and SM thematic.

Very timely and frequent updates

Looking forward to future updates.

pros:
-great features. ex amazing gallery, money cheat, status, quests tracker steps & hints.
-pretty good story for these type of games, good enough to not bog down the real content but enhance it
-great amount of content for the time this has been out
-nice amount of new content from frequent and consistent updates, especially considering other more popular titles
-nice variety of characters
-majority of characters are interesting and well designed
-pretty nice high quality scenes & renders
-user control and freedom is great with the forward and back buttons to test out different decisions and reverse bad ones.

cons:
-advancing thru ui is kinda clunky but not too bad, having some mappable hotkeys for certain actions like opening and closing menus etc would be convenient instead of having to click thru everything.
-quest progression albeit interesting enough kind of a chore even with the much appreciated tracker and hints, maybe some cheat toggle to noticeably point/skip to places with new content would reduce the grind, like maybe an asterisk (*) next to new unplayed dialogue. "speech checks" may be nice as well to inform the player if a dialogue choice is passable or not to reduce unnecessary clicks
-scrollwheel interaction wonky
-feel like with the location buttons, names in the ui like status/quest/gallery should have the persons head picture next to the name for more recognition and less recall for smoother and more natural navigation thru the interface. but for the most part the visual indicators are well done.


overall a top tier game and looking forward to more

Solid 5 star game. The renders are great, with unique looking, sexy girls. The gameplay itself is fun and much better with the relatively recent upgrades to the UI. The hint system is enough so you're never stuck. Great game through and through.

One of the best BDSM themed games on this site.

Why bother implementing a currency system when you literally have to cheat to max out the hotel? -----

PRO:
- The girls look nice

CON:
- To be fair, you dont have to max out the stats but still, why bother whit prices tens of thousends if you get ~200 or so per day...

- There isnt enought to do and this comes pretty fast. Between day 15 and 20 i way only skipping most of the day because i couldnt progress further until i buy a shit ton of stuff - again the money problem.

Around day 20 i finally cheated for the money and bought everything. Now i can progress but have to wait several day with every girl because their events only happen on specific days and times.

Day 26 and iirc i havend fucked any girl till now. Got 1 handjob and i think 2 blowjobs. Sexy scenes are rare and not worth repeating them since they consist of like 5 frames or so.


Gotta play it a litlle bit further because of the 2 new girls but otherwise its not worth the time/effort

TL;DR
If you are here for the bdsm kink, there are way better games out there

Honestly this game is completely in the strike zone for guys like who like a bit of BDSM. The character models are all nice and the story is simple but good without being being mindboggling. The only things I can hold against it are that it is not finished and I do prefer games with more freedom like RPGs but theres not much that can be done about that and you still get to chose where to go, who to talk to and how to manage your hotel.

Very good game according to my tastes.

The renders are neat and the characters are pretty/cute. There are no animations, but that does not bother me. I rather have good static renders that make the characters feel alive than mediocre animations that make them into uncanny androids.

The story is a bit out there but OK for a porn game. The game has actual story that is not entirely sex-related, although the story events more often than not have sex sprinkled on top. Again, thats OK for this type of game.

What pushes it into five star territory is the strong dominant/submissive and SM thematic. That is probably not everyones kink, but it's well implemented and hits the spot for me.

Looking forward to future updates.

Pros
- Good looking and diverse models

- Pretty good amount of content

- Decent english

- Good pacing in the text departement
No walls of text or tons of banal and pointless dialogues or trains of thought that have nothing to do with the erotic aspects of the game.

Cons
- Stereotypical and lackluster characters

- Linnear sandbox
What's the point of a sandbox game, if the story is set in stone and quests needs to be completed in a certain order for the game to progress? The drawback is a lot of waiting for the right time on the right day, without anything gained. It would have been better as a VN, where you still could have some choices about what and who to focus on each day.

- Grinding for stats and money
Not that bad actually, but when combined with the above mentioned waiting due to less than a stellarly implemented sandbox, then it becomes annoying.

- Sexcrazed virgins and unreasonable slow burn
The game has a lot of virgins that are madly in love/lust with the MC and have absolutely no apprehensions about having sex. To me, that's a bad combination. Either have virgins that are reluctant and need to be seduced and/or corrupted in order to get them to agree to sex or have sexually experienced character that really love sex and lust after the MC because they find him/her attractive and could be expected to perform really well sexually (that's hardly something you could expect from a virgin...). To make things worse, despite these virgins craving the MC badly, he still takes his sweet time before having sex with them, which to me just feels stupid (but I guess it's there so that the player can't have all the sex within ten minutes of starting the game...).

One of the best Unity games around. The girl characters are unique and very eye-catching. The storyline is also very good, with plot twists and new developments added in seamlessly to keep the game going. The grinding system to earn money for developing the hotel may be a tad tiresome, but overall the game is very much worth it.

Not going to lie, the name worried me... but the game turned out to be great. It is surprisingly sensible and has good characters. The story and character growth is lined up in a specific order and that might get a bit frustrating for people who want it all at once and fast. But story is written nicely and if you get into it, a slow but nice ride is waiting for you. Also I found the models to be fresh and different. I liked all characters, even the annoying ones and that's rare for me.

A few of the tags, humiliation and BDSM, scared me off trying this game until now but I am really glad that I gave it a shot.

The music is solid.

The dialogue is entertaining and I did not feel the need to skip through anything which is pretty rare for me with these games.

The mechanics are a little clunky but between showing where each character is on the map and a robust quest hint system it is very playable.

The humiliation is not mean spirited. It is more like an extreme prank war where all participants are willing and enjoying the game.

Nice story and great characters.Add big and pretty frequent updates.
Really good game, I hope it'll last until the end.
Maybe needs just a few tips to raise some of the stats (exhib, lust ...).
Good luck and thanks for this game

Love the game. Personal reasons:
1. The developer has created quite a covenient quest system that guides players through the game smoothly. I usually prefer Renfy over other engines but this is the exception.
2. The story actually provides some sense to why there is all this domination and bdsm. It's not just "oh hey all women should bow to me". Also, it has a nice progression in general.
3. It's actually a sandbox. It is technically a VR because there is only 1 linear storypath (i think?) but the game has enough difficulty and tediousness to make me forget that there is no other.

The renders look great, story is interesting and there is a good amount of content. HUD looks nice. You can check hints for every quest when you get stuck. Also liking the sandbox elements and the management. The girls are hot. I am also personally a fan of male domination so the punishments are really cool. The story and the setting makes it feel different to other games. Story is fresh and relatively interesting.

There are also some negatives, for example the fact that some quests are locked into a specific time of day on a specific weekday which if you miss, forces you to skip one hour forward obnoxiously for a couple of minutes. Another thing is that you are forced to interact with certain characters to make progress with other characters. An example of this would be one of the quests where you have to get sexual with the mechanic which I don't fancy to make progress with another character.

Overall it's a good game with very minor flaws. The dev seems to be active and will likely update the game frequently. I think it has a lot of potential to become one of the ''greats'' on this site.

Good renders, great story. Lots of places to go and girls to interact with, but once you have talked to them about the basics, these options remain. This makes the world seem empty because the only thing left is the story line stuff, which only happens at certain places at certain times. This wants to be a sandbox, but it's really not. There's only a couple of repeatable interactions outside the scripted stuff for daily's. I mean, this girl just sucked my dick and now, all I can talk to her about it where she's from? Surely there's something more. I've fucked this girl, but I can't sneak into her room for a little action? The game definitely kept me busy for a few hours (was my first play-through), but the last half of it was mostly clicking Wait an Hour to get to something quest-related since there was nothing else worthwhile.

Generally i do love management games, i do love free roam... but alas i didn't find anything alike in this game. It's empty, you got 3 girls (probably first but didn't got too far) , you have so few action that you skip time... That's a shame the premise was correct and graphics was the same level. I couldn' t pass more than 45 min in this game. One exemple? ok, you watch for the cleaning, you reward and you have text saying: You went with the girl at the beach and had a great time. Number of render? 0...

I have to say that the story shares some similarities with pine falls. The fog, the lack of young man, USA dening it's existance, electronics don't work too well. but it has it own originality. Don't know why it's tagged VN, usually i don't like freeroaming games but this one caught my attention, looking forward to the next updates

From v 0.4.1

Good start. Great models. Many events. Decent dialogue and good framework of a story for the content to be expanded into.

I would be great if animation could be added and some of the scenes fleshed out and expanded a bit more.
