VN - Others - Abandoned - Julia Young and Dumb [v9.2] [Bottom_all_the_way]

solid game. engines kind of annoying but not too bad. the game hits most marks for what i look for in fmc corruption games. including hot scenes

it gets a 2 though bc going to Ashleys Party will brick your save. the game doesnt let you save on your own so the only option is to wait for a bug fix or start a new game. will update the review if it gets fixed

The idea of the game is nice, but it contain far too many repetitve routine things and new content is spread into this boring repetitions which pretty much spoil the fun. Art and text are not great but okay from my point of view. I would like to see lesser same same and more new paths or new content. The money in the game is also pretty strange, because you can buy only cloths or you can pay your rent with it, but the debts at the landord seem to have no effect on the story for real... the same same in this field also every week. The game become boring after a few weeks repetition...

Really solid foundation of a corruption game rooted in waitressing and outfit mechanics. The first phase is promising but in it's current state you're looking at some light exhibitionism, a couple of blowjobs, and a bit of groping as the payoff for your efforts.

You know what kind of game this is and it's worth a look but if you're looking for something with a satisfying end game this ain't it - YET.

I'll be keeping an eye on this as it's got the potential to tick all the right boxes: domination, corruption, exhibitionism, outfits, humiliation. Right now the game says it all though - you're capped at being "a bit slutty".

I'll be generous and give this three out of five. It's pretty grindy, and I think blowing her landlord is as far as Julia's corruption goes right now. I played through the end of current content, I think. It's pretty hard to be sure as several paths run out before others. Her masturbatory fantasies go way further than what she'll do in the rest of the game, which is pretty realistic tbh.
In the real world, this chick would be a nine. In porn games, I'd give her a seven. She looks good, but I'm a T&A guy, so in the porn game universe, she's not a stand out. Like plenty of other corruption games, even though it's almost entirely flirting and exhibitionism to this point in development, there seems to be a focus on her engaging with males that are taboo for hot white girls to fuck with: ie black men, children, and homeless. The first one there has always bothered me, because it's more than a little racist. Black men are always portrayed as aggressive thugs that prize white pussy above all else. It's a lame old trope, it's offensive, and it's boring. The second one bothers me, because even though these kids are said to be adults, they appear with the bodies of children. That creeps me the fuck out. The last one is a little gross, and that's the point I guess, but even down on their luck old hobo's need lovin' too, maybe even more than others, so I'm okay with it.
Renders are pretty good, but nothing breathtaking. What little animation that exists is lackluster. I might try this game again in a couple years if it gets that far and the grinding problem gets resolved.

The user interface is clunky and I don't really understand why the dev didn't use Re'Ply. The game is incredibly grindy with almost no actual content. All you do is repeat the same actions over and over again hoping for a single action to move along the "story" and collect a bit of cash to buy new outfits to unlock a new tiny scene.

I love the concept, and spent a few hours desperately trying to find some kind of reward... but there just isn't any meaningful content. I understand it's still early in development, but it's borderline insulting to force users to repeat the same useless sequences over and over again (it takes like 5 different clicks to shower and go to bed every night) with no actual content.

Model is very nice and story is promising but the gameplay is grindy (less now since the update) and very repetitive. Most of the content for now is pretty much getting blueballed everytime it starts getting interesting. Updates are very slow and the last one was really low in content for the amount of waiting we had.

This is a mixed bag. Would be much better as an adult comic than a game the way it currently is.

The renders are decent, with the exception of a few times when there are close-up shots of Julia.

The UI is horrendous. I ended up quitting somewhere around week three because I just got frustrated with it. There isn't any way to save during game play, although it does automatically save at the beginning of each day, and there seems to be a 3 second delay between everything.

I really enjoy this dev's games.

It has the right corruption pace, the writing is funny and kinky at the same time and the models and sex scenes are really good.

I see some people complaining about the engine but to me it's fine and a good change of pace to the usual renpy games with some nice distinctive features(like the "background" sounds and dialogues).

It seems the dev is pretty active aswell which is another plus. I can't recommend it enough.

Review v7.01

An average game that would have been better in Rnpy. Some things are poorly rendered to the point that they are pixilated however the humiliation is pretty good.

Unfortunately some of the story lines are longer then others so you begin to have to skip through. It doesn't repeat most scenes which some people seem to hate but I prefer. It's way better to just skip and get money with out a scene then to have to click through a scen I've seen 50 times already.

It get's put to good because the babysitter humiliation is great. I love the degradation by those who are weaker. If you like humiliations there will be a story path for you. However that also means there is a good chance that you will have to see stuff you don't want.

Don't worry about paying off the dedt and buy clothes or you will be behind on those scenes.

This game is deceptively nice at first and then turns into a very annoying, unappealing grind.

The engine itself is terrible. It lacks rudimentary features such as skipping, rollback and a gallery.

For the most part, the scenes are not repeatable, that means once they are done, that's it, hope you enjoyed it.

Because the game has you repeat the same few actions over and over, skipping would have been a nice feature instead of holding space 99% of the time.

The gameplay itself is quite boring, as was previously said, you mostly just hold space to skip through inconsequential stuff to eventually get a snippet of something.

Which goes with the problem of non-repeatable scenes. It's fine if scenes are not repeatable if you can quickly access them again via a new playthrough and skipping. Because this game lacks rudimentary features, you'd be left to hold space for 45 minutes to get back to one specific scene.

Finally, the CGs themselves are quite low quality.

So everything combined, this leaves you with a game that is annoying to even navigate through, that leaves you unsatisfied and for whatever scene that are interesting, you may only experience it once every hour of holding space.

Dumb is the understatement of the century. I know those stories doesn't try to be realistic, but this story ..... I'm lost for words.
Additionally the story doesn't fit. For example the landlord said he would come a few days a week, but never did or that you can be at the pool everyday, but it isn't the case. And the pool and beach. Why does somebody need another swimsuit for the beach than for the pool when they basically look the same except the color? And another thing - an elementary school kid dominating an adult and trying BDSM shit?
The bad engine and the low picture quality is only another negative point.

Writing: 6/10

Overall: 6/10

Debt is a never ending cycle of blowjobs and flashing homeless people.

Ah yes, the aspiring actress. Young, blond, a perky body, full of life and dreams. Soon to be filled with lewd thoughts, dressing slutty, and gulping down loads of cum every week.

It's a common trope, and while the idea is nothing profound, it works pretty well as Julia, the oblivious and gullible airhead, is a fun time to fuck with. Though not in the literal sense yet as of 5.1 she remains a virgin.

The downside is that this platform, is a bit sluggish, not at all streamlined, and can feel like a chore to do at times. Compared to similar corruption games, like Anna's Exciting Affection or Manila Shaw, it has similar vibes but is not nearly as pleasing to use. The UI is a bit all over the place, and the area to click on to progress dialogue can lead you to accidentally clicking a choice if it comes up.

Currently the only "sex" scenes around are at the party for Julia's sister, where you can walk in on a guy pounding a chick from behind in the kitchen and get a scene of a guy getting revenge on a bitchy chick who is passed out drunk by taking it out on her ass. The sexual content outside of this are blowjobs and handjobs, flashing homeless men, and walking around with a tit hanging out like a true bimbo.

For now this is a game I'd need to see complete to truly give it a recommendation.

Good renders, attractive female MC

Classic corruption story, got alot of enjoyable lewd nasty action and plot has potential for much more.

The Bad:

Runs on an awful outdated game engine with slow clicky transitions. This would be perfect in Ren'py but dev unfortunately does not wish to migrate and insists on improving the current engine.

Added to this the gameplay is a very long frustrating loopy grind on a daily and weekly cycle. Some events only happen on certain days, which means one has to play through whole week in the awful engine just to reach new events, and those are very easy to miss unless one already has a hint from update log, guide or content list. Devs explanation to this is that's the game is in beta state and such issues will eventually be adressed later on.

Extremely repetitive gameplay and as of v4.0 there still isn't much content in the game.

This game is a real let down because it has the perfect setup for a great corruption story. Yet the gameplay is annoying and the few scenes are not worthy of the time you spend doing repetitive stuff.

I am not sure why this game is so highly rated when it gives me such a poor experience.
PROS:

• Good renders

CONS:

• I liked the concept of the game of a Dumb girl with a curvy body yet a dumb face girl who comes to the city naively to become a model. But there you have the engine that is used that ruins the experience very badly with plain writings. It is so fucking bad. You can’t also save manually.
• You have no way to skip a lot of the repetitive stuff. And there is a whole lot of grind, a lot of it which you can hardly skip and becomes pretty boring because of it.
• Then there is the inconsistency. For example, even if I do pay off my debt the story still continues like I am still using my body to pay off my debt even when I am not.
• A lot of the things are also forced upon you that I don’t like but there is no way for me to stop them from happening. For example, during the changing of clothes scene where the top is supposed to be exposed because someone gropes me. But even when I go to the clothes store to change my clothes Julia’s breast is somehow morally exposed. Moreover, She always acts like this is happening for the first time.

I like the silly story and the renders are good enough. Her face is a little weird, but it fits with her being dumb. I only wish we could skip through some things faster, but while it's not RenPy, it's not RPGm either, so there are easily far more grinding games in this site.

I hope it doesn't get abandoned.

edit: There is less need to click around now, so I am glad it's going the right way.

I like this game.
Simple, MC is likable, few interesting situations.

The game engine is just horrible but the story flow and this game doesn't wanna be a masterpiece.

Now, the winning point if we start to see more and more situations.

My only concern is the sex scene represented at v..04 is very swiftly made and not with the level of details and numbers of images that everybody expect.

All the grind is bearable just if there are good and well represented sex scenes...

I feel bad I've wasted 2 hrs for a grindy bore fest.
Meant to be a corruption game and the story is simple but functional. The girl's model is rather pretty too. Just the game play and mechanics are awful, as well as the lack of indication of progress of any kind.
It requires many clicks and mundane actions, but there is nothing to see. From week two she has the option of taking pregnancy pills but she will never need them. I've played for weeks and the first intercourse I saw was in the sister's story and it was rape.
As for the MC's story I found myself having to suffer awful weekly repetitive activity to get to Sundays and still not get very far. The weekly action is monotonous and confusing, like the outfit that says you need to keep jogging to unlock it, but every time you do, the same thing happens (nothing). And when you finally get to Sundays, due to having two destinations to choose from, the grind get even bigger as you take baby steps and then have to loop through the whole boring week again.
The engine also doesn't provide an ability to save, so when potentially this will have something interesting, it won't even be possible to have a save to replay it.

Even if it progresses eventually, this is not worth the time required. Definitely a pass and an ignore from me.

Currently the game is not worth downloading, it's not that the content is bad, but there is not enough of it yet to justify getting through the absolute slog that the engine this game runs on is.

Just wait for more content and the engine change (that the dev mentioned already on patreon, sadly not ren'py or anything mainstream).
