Ren'Py - Live in Corruption [v1.5.1] [Dirty Secret Studio]

This game is not just the remake of Cohabitation, but it gives us more and also, it can hold a better story for the buck. I am a member of both groups. I wish to see both groups do a lot more. On both of the games.

A love letter to cohabitation? Yes, and no.

Right off the bat, if you didn't already know, the story and concept for this game is directly taken from another, older gamer, called cohabitation. You, the fat uncle, move in with your helpful but unwitting brother and his sexy family. You become roomies with your niece, who you slowly chip away at, turning her from a nerdy and shy girl, into your personal slut. You also get to cuck your brother by screwing his bitchy wife, blackmailing her cheating ass into planting itself on your fat sausage. But hey, at least you pay rent, right?

Well the story is mostly unchanged, but the mechanics are updated, some quality of life improvements were made, and some things were totally scrubbed. First and foremost, there is no sleep sex. Uncle Lester says it himself "there's no fun is fucking a sleeping chick, you sick fuck". Oh brother. Clearly the dev must not like the idea of straight molestation or rape, which was something I enjoyed in the first.

The corruption also feels a LOT easier, almost too easy, as in the previous iteration of this reaching a new level of corruption for either the niece or the mother, took a good deal of time and work. It made you min-max your days, but not so much here.

They do add another character to mess with, a friend of the niece, but at this current stage of the game there's not much you can currently do with her. Or any one for that matter. Cope a feel here or there, finger bang the mom, spy on the girl changing, all very skin surface level sort of stuff that only s 16 year old might find jerk worthy. Wake me up when you're balls deep in the mother, getting dome from the niece while you watch tv, or cracking the friend's ass wide open.

v1.3.1 - The gameplay, story, and renders are all average. I applaud the dev of this unauthorized remake for going beyond the original story (even if two of the added characters are the most offensive depiction of autism since "The Good Doctor" and literally a Harley Quinn model) but the game is so bug-riddled that it feels like there is not enough care going into making this.

Rating it an IGN 3. Would tentatively recommend if future releases are a little more bug-free.

TLDR: fairly good sandbox corruption with little grind needed to unlock scenes.

Story 4/5:
The story is kind of whatever, but it gets the job done and sells you as a creepy bastard trying to corrupt any girl within a 5km radius of you. But this is a corruption sandbox so the story being bland doesn't kill it for me. I'd rather focus on corrupting the girls instead of receiving another exposition dump every other scene.

Art 4/5:
The art is fairly nice though the lighting could be improved. Animation isn't exactly there... but hey I don't mind.

Gameplay 5/5:
Simple enough and fairly enjoyable with some reasonable amount of legwork needed to get the ladies to spread their legs. Working is as simple as clicking 1 button, which is nice. With no need to path to a workplace and back you can spend more of your time using your other hand! Granted this is a fairly simple sandbox without much depth or strategy, but it is a breath of fresh air and meshes well with the rest of the construction of the game.

UI 2/5 :
The UI and font choice are the weakest links for me, especially the status page on the computer, some of the stuff like consumables should be separated into an inventory section. Check the girls' status should ideally also be readily accessible. Maybe also split the questline into a journal page. But at least everything works as intended, if a little ugly and unintuitive.

Bugs 4/5:
I ran into some exception errors right at the start-up, which cracked me up. And a second during a dinner scene sometime after day 10. The first bug I ignored, and the second I just dodged by avoiding the dinner. So overall it was fine as nothing broke beyond repair in my short time playing the game.

Story 2/5
Guess im just no seeing what others are, i found the story quite boring and pretty standard and it never really felt like much corruption, at most it would be very light corruption or maybe even more of a romance i dunno.

MC got a divorce and ended up homeless and moves in with hes brother and the brothers wife and daughter, then you can talk with the girls and gain points which proberly dont really matter much, maybe if you had a clue what to do it might come into play but without any kind of hints or questlogs or anything you just end out clicking around randomly hopeing something new will happen, i find this kind of gameplay extremly boring.

As for the girls i just dident like the look of them, Ami was the best looking one and she only visit late game and only once a week and without a skip day option you got to click work 5 times or so then sleep x7 days untill next visit, its just to much waste of time and again adds to that boring feeling.

As for MC hes just an old ugly dude with a small pencil dick which dosent help in the sex scenes.

Then theres the bugs and theres a shitload, i ran into the grey renpy error page a million times over, sure you can ignore to get game going again but it dosent make it less annoying.

I had to quit the game when i reached the choice to lick Amis pussy since game simply just froze and crashed, tried to restart game and reload saves but couldent get past the point, if its end of content i have no clue since there arent any questlog or atleast not a working one.

The sandbox part is just a grind, its not a bad one but also theres no real fun in it and theres barely any locations, you got like 4 rooms and thats it, cant leave house or anything either so its just really small and barely even has a point of being a sandbox.

Girls 2/5
The mother and daughter just dident look good to me, i know it comes down to personal taste but to me they where not hot and daughter had some weird almost saggy tits not fit for her age, Ami looks alot better but theres not really much content with her.

Renders overall is also quite low quality.

Animations 2/5
They arent really good, pretty short and low quality.

Music 0/5
Silent game not much else to say about that....

Choices 3/5
Most of it is just kinetic but you do have some choices to turn down Ami for one, if you can turn down the mother or daughter i had no idea dident really want to test things out to much since game was to boring for me.

It's the typical Ren'Py VN with multiple choices and routes. The writing is great.
I see a lot of potential in this game.
I really like the Corruption tags, and this is one of the better games in this genre.
A good mix of new stuff and repeatable stuff.
I would recommend it to anyone.
4 stars. Let's see where this goes.

I like these corruption games. It is slow corruption without getting too grindy. It took me a while to find the wine but the rest is more or less self explanatory. The renders could be better, there could be more renders as the story is some times a bit jerky but overall I like it.

Personally, I think this trainer is a good mix of progression and repetition.
The models look OK and believable.
I also really liked Cohabitation.

What I don't like is the graphic representation of the sperm, which is a bit of a turn-off for me.
I would also like to see a route that is perhaps a bit more BDSM/slave orientated, so far we can only develop it in the bimbo direction, which is absolutely OK.

Thanks for reading.

Live in Corruption is one of the best trainer games I've ever played. The pacing is nice; the grind feels natural; the girl is suitably sexy, innocent and curious; the MC is a creepy asshole, but in a self-aware, believable way and without going too far (too far for a corruption game, that is).

All-in-all, it's just a great game, but I feel like there's still potential here. Pregnancy, content with the mom, content with the two of them at the same time, cucking the dad, that type of thing.

Great start to this revamp Game! Lots of content Unlike the original this has some nice animations, & good looking NPC's It's A bit Bare bones & there's No mother content ATM. But I'm looking forward to future updates
