    Between a 3 and a 4 for me, I felt it was at least worth a recommend so I erred on 4. It's a linear novel about you, a secret spy, corrupting a ship of women into your sex slaves. They resist, the are tempted, and they ultimately forsake their oaths and loyalties in return for your cock (this includes to their country and, to some, their lovers).

    Quite a bit of H content, but also quite a bit of story content... It was tolerable at first but I did end up enabling "skip unseen text" and just rushing to the good shit towards the end. Playing once took ~3-4 hours? That's pushing a game in this genre for me personally. But, it is complete, and I do like the models and H content and dialog within. I'm not super fond of straight up brainwashing, but it was fine in this game.

    To each their own, but I seriously don't understand the 5 star reviews. I've played mtl games with superior grammar and spelling, and to me the story was juvenile and predictable. I gave the 2 stars for the obvious effort the creator put into this game.

    An interesting VN for sure! Great 3D models, decent animation, great sex scenes, a decent, albeit plagiarized storyline (those who know, know ;)), and best of all, those lovely ahegao faces that all us degenerates love!

    The only drawbacks are that the choices (few and far between as they are) don't really have any visible impact on the storyline or ending. There is no "bad end" for the protagonist where things go completely off the rails and he "loses". Not that I'm complaining, per se, and maybe it's just me being stupid, but I feel like it sort of takes away from everything when no matter what you do, you are assured to be victorious.

    The other major drawback is that the spelling / grammar, and sentence structure is horrendous! This one clearly needed like another five or six passes with the proofreader. At the end of the day, it is still easily understandable and nowhere near as bad as MTL poetry, but it's still annoying to see.

    Oh...one last thing...and again, maybe it's just me, but I feel like some of the women looked better before their corruption / transformation. It's also funny when you think about the fact that the protagonist being a dumbass and vividly changing how the women look after corrupting them is what lead to other people catching on to him and his plans. As if you couldn't "enhance" them at a later date after you had fully corrupted everyone and no one could oppose you anymore. It just seems awfully short sighted. Why not hide in plain sight?

    TL;DR - A solid 4/5. If you like sci-fi based storylines, this one is definitely worth your time imho.

    Basically a retelling of prison battleship, but this hit all the right spots for me. Not too deep character wise, but corruption + transformation is great. If you're in it more for the porn than game then give it a shot.

    This game is really really good. An interesting plot taken from that japanese VN than I can't remember it's name. The CGs are very good with some hot animations. But the real deal is the story is good enough is interesting but straightforward, the development of the characters is just the necesary and the plot is interesting enough without huge amounts of text. The combat scenes include enough descriptions to make then beliabeble without tryining to hard.

    In conclusion a good/interesting game to look out if you are into mind control games. My thanks to the dev(s).

    I view this as a western adaptation of a pretty fantastic Japanese VN Prison Battleship. It's very very similar in terms of tone, characters, plot and personalities. Compared to that game it has worse sex scenes, graphics/audio/art, UI polish, interactivity, story cohesion and believability in the plot. For example the MC makes all his mind control slaves visibly different for no reason, dangering the mission and nearly getting himself killed? The level of characterization and writing is about the same I think. The sci-fi world-building is pretty decent, I liked it. The characters are flat and have only a single distinguishing personality trait, just like in Prison Battleship. There is no improvement in the writing from that hentai and the characters, after getting corrupted, become even flatter and more boring.

    I find this very disappointing as I recently read some western VNs that adapt hentai and they featured vast improvements in writing, characterization, realism, and so on, so to see a western adaptation have all the same tropes and weaknesses as the original and in a lower budget production package... it feels like a waste.

    That being said this game is still hot as hell and the base concept is still fantastic, even with worse production.

    I applaud the no-nonsense VN format with choices at the very end. Many VNs fall into the trap of having a ton of choices in the middle of the game that lead to only a few different endings, making it extremely unclear if any of the choices did anything. This VN has only 2 endings both of which is easily accessible though the 2 choices near the very end.

    On a personal, subjective level I don't like turning everyone into gyarus, not really my fetish, and I think too much time is spent on males and interacting with males and hurting males, not really interesting to me either.

    But still despite all the criticisms, the overall concept is still strong enough to be a 5/5.

    Chimp :D

    Pretty unique story about corruption/revenge. Mc is part of the federation and is acting as a spy in the other group that I cant remember the name of. Interesting transformations and good dialogue. Nice surprise when a game suddenly emerges from the wood works as a complete title.

    Maybe one of the most bizarre pieces of fiction I've had the... uh... "privilege" of reading. I know it's just a generic ren'py fetish game but I got to the point where the first character you interact with does a nazi salute and kinda just lost it. I was struggling to look past the fact that you're supposed to be playing as the completely unsympathetic, uninteresting MC as it was, but come on. John "I Miss My Slaves Back" McBadguy (or a name of your choice) who has his magic slave machine built inside a personal secret room built inside a ship that he has never ever been on before who is recruiting sex slaves for the axis of evil is a touch hard to relate to as a character, to be honest.

    As far as content that isn't goofy to experience, the smut is ok. It's honey select renders, the usual stuff. Bodies are one way in one scene, next scene you see them they are different, and there are some sex scenes but there's nothing new or out of the ordinary for your average VN. The writing is obviously by a non-native english speaker, but it's not egregious enough to make it difficult to read at all. The characters are uninteresting so it's unlikely you're going to want to slog through what's there to see any specific character in context. Basically, images fine, story bad, otherwise generic

    All in all, just because it was presented initially complete and hits specific kinks doesn't make it a quality product to experience,. If you want anything to do with this, time is best saved by nabbing some renders of the smut and ditching the rest to save drive space. The dialogue and the unintentional comedy won't help you jerk it.

    It's a shame because it looks like a decent amount of work was put into it, but it was invested in a way that doesn't help it. Would like to see it again if it somehow fixes the story tone, gives the characters some character, and works on assisting the reader maintain any amount of suspension of disbelief. Sorry, "it's in the super space future" doesn't count.

    This was a surprising find. Being both a corruption and mind control fan, looking for relevant games is a pain. These are themes that obviously aren't too safe, so anyone looking for a quick Patreon buck, won't bother. Both because they can't handle any discontent from the vanilla harem crusaders and because Patreon's draconian censorship is always an issue. Which is why the genre is dominated from the Japanese.

    This one is obviously heavily inspired from Black Lilith's VNs. If you 've played any of those you 'll find the theme of brainwashing some hot but bitchy starship officers familiar. But while it lacks Kagami's delicious drawings, I would argue it does some things better.

    One is variety. This game has quite a few targets for MC's insidious plans, not just one or two. And they have some stereotypical but still distinct personalities and personal stories, which is always important. The corruption genre is built upon the concept of reversing the personality to the opposite of what it was before. If they have no personality besides hair color, like many lazy devs do, it's pointless. Still the exposition doesn't overstay its welcome, like it does in many Japanese VNs, with walls upon walls of boring descriptions.

    The aspect of physical transformation to indicate final corruption is much more prevalent in this one. Being a fan of that, combined with mind control, I was pleasantly surpised to see the TF tag didn't involve MC having his dick chopped off and becoming a sissy. Like most games with those tags in later years. I also liked corruption had a process and different stages, it wasn't the lame "BAM, you are a slut now", I so often see in games of this type. Although I admit I would have liked a longer process, since to me the middle stage was the most enjoyable. Having that extended with a (more visible) middle physical change to reflect it, would be ideal for me.

    Also would be nice to have some more input on the plot. Game has two choices that influence ending but that's that. Having different choices in transformations or fetishes would have been nice way to offer more input, while not creating an un-manageable mess of a branching story. Of course that would need more renders.

    Since I just discovered this dev, I found they have some older relevant projects that are completed. This seems to be the best by far, since it lacks the grindy borefest that is RPGM. I hope they build and expand on what they did right on this one, since this genre really needs some dedicated devs. One can hope.

    The plot of predicable, the woman are avarage in terms of personality and look and the main character is extreemly lucky.

    There is also very little choice and it seem to not effect the story over much.
    But it is fun.
    Not awesome, not great, just fun.
    Like playing cards or reading a good book.

    It is worth a playthrought if your bored and got nothing better to do.
