Great art and animations and good overall story-line but a mess to play!
I followed this game from the beginning and really loved where this was heading. I love corruption games and the premise of this one was really great. The main target is to corrupt Gloria, an Ice Queen who is the boss of a company. Sadly the heavy grind and the messy way the gameplay elements - which themselves are actually really good - are implemented makes it very hard to enjoy the game. The games problem is actually too much of everything. Your are overwhelmed by all the features and elements.

Version: Update 0.8a
Generally speaking: If you are into some kind of Corruption, Domination and Humiliation this might be exactly what you looked for.
The protagonist is a evil minded genius, who wants to revenge himself. The game plays like a trainer game featuring a lot of different aspects and gameplay features.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Pros:
- Story - The stroy is quite good, giving a good background and setting for the whole game and the corruption. The characters are introduced nicely and have good personalities and distinctive behavior.
- Story writing - Really good writing so far - real english. Very intelligent and also with a lot of humor. I like the heart elements showing the affection of the female characters as well as the dom and dirty talk from the male protagonist.
- Attention to detail - be it with the characters, the world, the scenes. Everything seemes well-thought. You can feel the that the dev puts a lot of effort in this game.
- The Dev - Updates come very regulary and offer a whole lot of content!
- Kinks - dev is implementing some nice different kinks and fetishes in the game, such as BDSM, maledom, blackmail and so on.
- Art - the art itself is absolutley amazing! Well done Dev! There is a lot of attention to detail especially within the characters and their development. The animations are integrated really nicely and all gameplay features have their own design. Fantastic work!
Mediocre:
- Corruption progress - The Dev takes the time to point out how the different characters in the story are corrupted. Still sometimes I feel that there are some scenes missing. I would have enjoyed more different first time sex scenes with Gloria or more groping before or condom sex before raw. The leaps from one major event to the next are too big for me.
- Scenes - the scenes themself are very well done - but most of them feel far too short. I really like the compilations of sex scenes that spread over many hours but such scenes are very rare. All in all I would wish for more scenes and longer ones.
- Gameplay elements - While the gameplay elements themselves and the corruption elements specifically are really well thought and nicely done they are badly implemented. The big problem is that there are actually too many elements and details - its too much of everything, they are all over the place and even though I played this game from the beginning I feel totally overwhelmed and feel like I cant enjoy the story or the corruption progress anymore. You really feel lost within the game.
Cons:
- Missing Gallery - just that.
- Grind- while within some parts of the game the story and the corruption progress without any grind there are parts where the grind is insane. This non-linear way the game is constructed breaks its immersion and makes it exhausting to play. A real mood killer.
- It's a mess! - The game wants to do too much. I feel totally lost within all the gameplay elements and things that are going on. Actually this is really sad, because the really good story, corruption progress and character desgin as well as the fantastic art are drained out by this mess. The game is absolutely exhausting to play. For me this sadly destroyed the whole game.

Final thoughts:
While I can
recommend this game I really hope the dev takes care of this mess and polishes the gameplay and game design. Otherwise I will never really come enjoy the full potential of this game. Maybe the premise was too big. Maybe the dev is too much of a genius to think simple. I really feel this game wants too much, and while when you look at the details they are done absolutely amazing the bigger picture just does not work.
I really want to love this game but at this point its just not possible for me any longer. I hope the dev manages to tidy up this mess and polishes the what needs to be polished. If so, I will definitily come back and adjust my review.
All the best luck to the dev for his ongoing journey. I hope you succeed in what you aim for.
