Looking from Mind control games

[chalilin]

Hi, I'm looking for games that focus on hypnosis. I'm starting a new thread because my own research hasn't led to much. As I said, I'm looking for games centered around mind control, but:
the mind control has to be part of the gameplay (not just cut scenes or an enemy in the game that, if you lose to them...),
and we shouldn’t be the ones getting mind-controlled (I'm okay with playing the controlled character, but I don't want a game where talking to a specific person automatically triggers a scene with a given suggestion).
Neither the player nor the mind-controlled victim should be forced into having or executing a heterosexual sexual intercourse to finish the game.
Oh, and just to make things harder, I don't want a visual novel or text adventure.

I feel like this game just doesn't exist, but I figured I have nothing to lose by asking.

- Gradual brainwashing through magical means and gaslighting
- You play both sides of it, but mainly the one being hypnoed.
- The early changes are nonsexual.
- The hypno has an effect on the gameplay.
- There is also faster hypno / drugging leading to sex, but it's up to the player whether to accept.

Thx, but I've already seen you suggest this game in another thread. I opened this one because, I mean, that's not what I'm looking for.

Not exactly answering your request, but from a developer/author point of view, good Mind Control stories are incredibly hard to pull off (which seems a little counter-intuitive, I know). Good erotica works where there's sexual tension between the characters but in a Mind Control story/game you remove this crucial element, so you're more or less facing the following storytelling options:

1. Mind Control rape. The girl doesn't want sex but the protagonist controls her body and she can't resist.
2. Sex zombie. The girl suddenly wants sex because mind control.
3. Cheating. The dev/author says there's mind control but the story/game behaves exactly like any normal corruption story/game with mind control mentioned from time to time, but the player never feels they actually control anyone's mind.

That's exactly why I opened a thread, it's really not my style to interact on a forum. Also, thanks for the choice of words, I didn't express myself clearly. I specifically don't want games like Sex Zombie or anything involving cheating. And while I'm not completely hostile to the Rape MC genre, I don't want something like 'press the rape button and voilà.' The problem is, these kinds of details aren't in the tags, which makes my search difficult.

As a last attempt, I'm going to list the games I've tried and explain why they don't match what I'm looking for:

Just a no:
- Mind Drifter: I couldn’t last 5 minutes, the art style, the atmosphere—I just can’t.
- The Fun of Asmodius: see above.

Why the mind control tag?:
- Science Girl Himari: I don’t even remember seeing a cutscene with that theme.
- Shinobi Gear: It’s just one of the cutscenes when you lose.
- Prism Fantasy: Even more subtle, there are like 2-3 enemy attack animations with that theme.
- Tail Teller 2: Cutscenes when you lose, mixed with a lot of fetishes that really aren’t what I’m looking for.

No mind control gameplay:
- HACHINA: There is mind control, and it technically influences gameplay, but it’s just a small phase of the game and limited to a few animations.
- Dereah Sister App: It’s just a pretext; the gameplay itself doesn’t use suggestions to interact with the character.
- Mindwipe Castle: I barely started because the Danganronpa-style gameplay isn’t my thing, and apparently the only mind control is in the cutscenes.
- Nex(e)us Institute: The mind control is tied to cutscenes.
- Shadow over Meridia: Another game where the kink is limited to cutscenes. If I’m not mistaken, you can enslave fighters on the map, but I didn’t find it interesting.

Okay, there is mind control, but...
- Hypnotic Idol: Two problems: first, I find the idea of the girl being immobilized but conscious incredibly creepy, and second, the gameplay without 'waving a dick around' gets old fast.
- Hypnosis App Apartment: The idea is cool, but it boils down to 'turn into a slut,' and watching a girl get molested by guys doesn’t do it for me.
- Going Deeper: I love the mind control gameplay, but it’s extremely limited in terms of consequences (I really don’t handle the dungeon crawler part well), and even more so in terms of H-content.
- Emilia & Joseph: Exploited Innocence: My worst nightmare, really the kind of thing I find super creepy and never want to play. Basically, you just helplessly watch a girl being manipulated by horrible guys.
