Unity - Inner Self Development Program [v0.8.9] [Carnile]

I won't comment on the story itself, however, I do want to say that this game can be just slightly better by reworking one thing (manifested in multiple ways), which is the delay in which a character does something and the next step.

For example, someone texting the MC? There is the "typing" animation then a text, same for MC replying. I don't know why these things can't be more instantanous. Same thing for when the character is speaking with someone. Also maybe add SPACE or CTRL as a skip dialog option.

Best thing to do, is to cut 50% of the timer on these filler animation, and add a general skip button.

The first thing I think anyone is going to mention... bugs. While I experienced no bugs while playing, and I've played through twice now, that doesn't mean they don't happen-- and we all hear they happen often.
However, this is obviously still very alpha and while development might take a long time for this game it really is one of my favorites. I don't understand how most people hate the conditioning mini-game, it's very easy to understand and I really appreciate the interaction it brings. Especially because the porn shown in the conditioning levels is actually great porn too!

I can't give this game five stars no matter how badly I want to and that's because of the amount of content for a little over two years of development, while supposedly still being very game-breakingly buggy. But I'm not going to knock Carnile for that! Sometimes the best projects took the longest and really everything about this game ESPECIALLY the artwork is so superb. I think it's a great combination of player interaction and has tons of great porn in it. I SERIOUSLY look forward to this project's further development.

If it simply wasn't for the lack of content this would HANDS DOWN be my favorite game on here. Absolutely has the potential to be a banger and a crowd favorite.

This game is an absolute dumpsterfire.

From softlocking, to random, unconnected events just popping up such as Karina taking your phone and ridiculing you for looking at a dick pic whilst at home when the event was clearly meant for College, to the decision to reset everyones progress every signle update, I can't in good faith recommend anybody wastes their time on this absolute mess. Dev needs to take a serious look in the mirror, because it's unacceptable.

To have good art and an interesting storyline is not enough- it needs to actually work for one thing, and it's evident to see that this developer has absolutely no intention of playtesting his game before release, and just churns out crap for the sake of it- waiting until everyone else diagnose all the problems with the game before actually addressing them, which in itself takes months. Joke.

The game could be awesome, the graphics look nice, the story is not very developped yet but it has potential. So yeah it could be a great game... But it is just not playable ! You're on the edge of a game breaking bug at every single minute. You answer a text before filling in the questionnaire on day 1 ? Enjoy getting stucked and restarting the game. You made the mistake of spending point in the skill tree before getting objectives ? Enjoy restarting the game because you won't be able to have the required skills on time and you will get stuck. You decied to go back to your room before answering a text that makes the story advance ? Well, once again, enjoy restarting the game because you won't be able to play anymore.

Soooooooo yeah, the dev DESPERATELY NEEDS beta tester before releasing updates and mostly the dev NEEDS to fix the effing bugs that has been here for months. If it does get fixed, i'll update my review and add stars but in this state, the game is simply not playable

Edit : The bugs have been fixed so I'm adding a star. There are still inconsistency in the story. For example, your girlfriend appears to be a pure young woman, very shy about sexuality that never saw a pp, even yours. During the second meeting, she tells you that her friend have changed the way she see things a bit and she is willing to explore sexuality a bit more, that's fine right ? So you get naked and she sees a pp for the first time, unfortunately you can't get it to work so you would expect a "It's fine we have all the time to do it again", but that's not what happens. Your girlfriend (which I repeat don't have any sexual experience at all) suggest... Oral sex ??? In which world a woman, first the time she is naked with her boyfriend suggests oral sex on their first intimate session ? Not only that but the dirty talk that comes along is so out of place, saying stuff like "My wet pussy wants your attention now !" or "I want you to make my clit red with your tongue". Suddenly the young prudish woman knows exactly what she needs for her to reach orgasm. There is no progression on her personality and the scene just sound weird and forced.

I had 3 bugs, just in the intro. 2 of them were game braking.
1. the forwards button in the text field became invisible
2. you can click on the laptop during the first conversation and you cannot leave the screen at the end since you have to use the phone to continue - which is not possible from the laptop
3. when filling out the questions, I got in a loop on the 2nd to last question and i was unable to get out of it (the A-D buttons stayed on the screen, but they became unclickable)

I gave up after that...

Great art and cool concept even though sissifiction generally always goes in one direction and its in unity which is different and I think a great change. I also personally love the minigames as I feel you don't see many in the genre. I gather that updates are slow but the 0.6 patch seems pretty good so honestly wait for that and if high quality means slow then I don't see why that should change

Good to great art.
The game looks very good and fresh.
Sadly the dev has now exposed himself and the game did not update in a long time.
After 0.4 and 0.5 which were fake updates with only a few filler scenes the game sadly got totally corrupted and is now in an unplayable state with many softlocks and game breaking bugs.
Sadly this is the tale of a promising game that got ruined by it's dev who refuses to get help developing his game or even listens to advice.

Ridden with bugs, softlock on save reload, a requirement for you to level up out of nowhere to continue the game, and unless you know to do the previous conditioning that you have already done for points, its a softlock, monotonous grind of the same stuff combined with glacial updates and not that much progress means this game is pretty crap...shame as the art style and some of the concepts are potentially interesting like the skill tree etc., but they are just wrapped up in a bag of awfulness

good art and setting

slow UI and development, ridden with bugs that softlock the game necessitating a complete restart. been at 10% of the way in a transformation storyline for years. hypno minigames are great but drag on too long. just many poor game design decisions, and yearly updates means this game is dead in the water.

avoid at all costs.

The game has potential with its appealing art style, but unfortunately, it's plagued with bugs and lacks frequent updates. It's frustrating to see that bug fixes are scarce and new content is almost non-existent, especially since the game seems to only update once a year. While the art is good, it's not enough to make up for the game's current state

Played for less than an hour and hit two game-breaking bugs. First, reloading a save softlocks you. Loading in resets the initial text message conversation with Jessica, and you can't leave your room until you answer it... but the message is bugged and won't let you answer.

Next, on Day 4 (iirc) your teacher will demand you shave your legs. But to do that, you have to unlock the ability to shave your legs in the skill tree. I didn't have enough xp to unlock leg shaving, so I tried to do Conditioning to get more... and the game wouldn't let me because I had to shave my legs first!

TLDR: If you don't play everything absolutely perfectly and pick the perfect option for every decision, the game shits itself and won't let you continue.

Everything is high quality and I actually really like the game, except for the bugs that completely ruin it. For some reason the game doesn't let you save whenever you want, or go back if (when) something breaks, so whenever there's an issue your save is just done.

Quite an interesting game that is not suitable for everyone. Interesting story, nice interface, incredible graphics.
The tree of improvements deserves special admiration. mini-games (required for scoring) are short but colorful, with many photos to look through for your enjoyment.
Conclusion - the game is already cool and has great potential, but there are also bugs, for example, it took me 3 attempts (restart the game) to answer the girl's message and circles in mini games sometimes disappear just like that.
When these bugs are fixed, the game can be safely put 5/5, but alas, now 4.5/5.

A lot of wasted potential.

The art style and the looks are really good, concept looks intresting but everything else is terrible.
The HUD is fine, but it feels slow and "unresponsive" (especially the animations, get rid of them, it's a game, not a website), and overall, evertything seems slow, from the messages to the dialogs.
Even the initial quiz felt "clunky".
The conditioning is one of the most boring minigames that I've ever seen.
And there is a game breaking bug on day 7, paired with those awful autosaves makes the game unplayable.

Just rework the conditioning, add manual saves, make the text speed adjustable and fix some bugs, and the game will become much more enjoyable.

0.6 Edit
The game breaking bug on day 7 got fixed, but the other issues remains.
There are still some soft locks and bugs, like the leg shaving or (i think) starting an Hypno session while a chat is active,and those things do not pair well with the save system.

0.8.7 Edit
I wanted to give this another try and it is even more broken than before, save system was already bad a long time ago but now it is just not working, it just doesn't save.
I can't realize how a dev can even think of "presenting" a game where the save system is fucked up, really a waste.

Well the dev takes long to update, the autosave feature works against itself when you have a broken save and can't load a previous non-broken save. I'm not sure who is bothering to give this such a high rating when a simple phone mechanic that insults your reading speed causes the game to be permanently broken.

Excellent start. The videos are top-notch and his masturbating scenes while watching the videos are very cute. Please expand his wardrobe and crossdressing abilities. Hopefully, he'll be able to go out into town while crossdressing and wearing makeup.

This game has a lot of potential! I hope the creator sticks with it. I didn't encounter any bugs, but some of the interactions early on with the phone/email etc., aren't the most intuitive to progress further in the game. Besides that, the game plays well and is a great time. Keep up the good work!

A very interesting and unique take on the standard femdom sissification routine of games, expanding it into something not unlike taffy tales. The minigames are an interesting addition as well, and I applaud the originality of those. Its a bit rough around the edges but still a very good looking game in an era of mediocrity.

Great game, artwork is pretty unique, and gameplay mechanics look promising, minigames are nice, though make complicated IRL fapping. I didnt stumble upon any noticeable bug. Wondering about my identity right now though x) Keep up the good work, cant wait for more update.

Version: v0.3a

As of now the game very little content, in fact, i dont think it really has any. Its no suprise considering this is VERY early alpha phase.
Yet despite that i believe that this game has potential to become good, its just needs time, thats all.
Keep a look out for when there will be more content, but for now, its not really worth playing.
