I don't think this is how more porn game should be, neither shouldn't be. Sometimes a good story, well writed, with decent porn stuff can be really good.
Yes and no. Porn games at the moment occupy that peculiar space between a game and narrative. Games in general are not narrated forms of entertainment/pastime. You only need a set of rules and winning/losing conditions to have a game, no narrative explanation or background necessary. Granted, there are genres of games (fabular games) where storytelling is an important element of the play, but there are more games out there that are devoid of that feature. What I like about 'Karryn's Prison' is that it's not a fabular game really, just a spoofy sex-parody of roleplay-style turn-based combat and just as funny sexified parody of economical management game all barely held together by a 'story' which is basically limited to skippable cinematic cutscenes of no particular importance. More games of such quality could and should be made, especially porn. There is a reason why real-life video pornography practically abandoned any form of narration at the turn of the century. They tried hard in the 70ties, 80ties and a good part of 90ties to tell interesting stories revolving around sex, only to realize that depictions of sex do not require a story at all to capture a viewer's full attention. And also realised that any story told to provide justification of this simple act of expressing one's carnal desire is going to come out silly eventually. Sex is sex, what's more to say? Just like with satiating one's hunger, you do not need to explain why you are eating. So nowadays the typical dialog you'll see in a hardcore porn flick would be:
HIM: Hi, what's your name?
HER: Hiiiya, I'm XXX.
HIM: Do you know what we're going to do today, XXX?
HER: Yes, you're going to fuck me in front of a camera...
HIM: Oh right, let's do it then! Turn around and show me your ass!
Even that is redundant, as you'll find millions of fappable clips where you do not even see the performers faces, just their genitals, maybe a part of leg or arm. Nobody says anything to explain the situation, you can't even make out the scenery and tell if it's a bedroom or bathroom, or living room or a private club in a dark alley. It's porn nevertheless and it works.
If you look closely at narration in sex games, it's more or less the same story trying to explain away why the MC is having sex other than just for the sheer enjoyment of it and the presence of a willing partner. And you'll have these well tried tropes of corruption, greed, blackmail, unhealthy curiosity, cheating, mind control, alien parasites, post combat rape... Seldom you'll find scenarios involving loving couples who have sex because they're simply grown adults in a mood for it and no-one watches. Which is probably how most sexual encounters in real life happen. Frankly, I am a bit bored with these overused tropes, their shock value has long expired for me. Having said that, I do appreciate that other players find narration indispensable in their gaming. But you can do without it and still have a great time playing, really! And this applies not just to NSFW games.
Even non-lewd ones don't require story-telling to be playable and enjoyable. Let's just play already! Here's the ball and there's your goal and over there there's mine. Here's the pitch, limited by these white lines. You've got 10 other players on your side, I also have 10. Now use any part of your bodies except hands to put that ball in my goal, while I try to intercept it without coming into contact with your bodies and put the ball in your goal instead. Whoever manages to put the ball in the other side's goal more times then them after 90 minutes have passed wins. That's the game! Sounds fun, wanna play? You can tell a story of how the game went later.
I didn't said Karryn's prison is a bad game, i don't know if the game developper are gonna explore their story a little bit more, but sometimes, the long paragraphs are useful to pace out your story and let the player rest between two grind fest.
Well, the problem is not scarce narration but the grind and strategy involved in building your desired Warden + balancing difficulty levels. I agree, it takes a lot of fucking and deliberate defeats to build the ultimate slut Warden who eats cock for breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper and then drinks a nightcap full of cum before bed to wake up in the morning with a perfect 100% prison order and the Treasury Chest overflowing with gold. Hopefully this will be ironed out in the final release, so you don't need to spend 150+ in-game days or several NG+ sessions to see what superwhore Karryn looks like and how she just walks victorious from one fuckfest to the next, the Brothel Queen of Fort Gannon even as a supposed ultramasochist covered in semen from head to toe.
it's game over, and at some point you can't just do shit because of your corruption lvl. I just lost a 8h savefile because it was impossible to beat the lvl3 boss when Karryn was too corrupted...
Again, the problem is maths not storytelling or lack thereof. Try Secretary difficulty level and you'll want her even more corrupted and the sex scenes to include double penetrations and fisting.
