HTML - Completed - Manreign [v1.0] [MercuryDev]

The game works and is complete which is still a notable milestone compared to a lot of other games on this site but this not a good game, but a perfect "Ok" game.

The gameplay has you riding an edge. Waste resources = You Fail. Gain too much resources = You Fail... again.

You start to pay attention more to managing your resources and avoiding an instant fail then you do at getting at the adult content. This is pretty unforgiveable for an adult game. I resorted to hacking the game (F95 has a good guide to get you started: Search "how to debug or cheat twine sugarcube variables") to reliably start to find the desired content.

The scenes are ok but you will find yourself quickly save scuming as most happy endings lead to an auto fail. You will not really be turning your vault into a sexual paradise just a vault with sexual elements that you might be allowed to touch sometimes.

Earning trust with your department heads is kind of pointless honestly. You do so and then have sex with them they hate you and you are back to grinding their trust all the while avoiding a resource based ending.

This game just punishes you too much for wanting sex. Finding upgrades like the slavery addition took a few play throughs as its not really obvious where you get upgrades. Combine this with the limited time to do things and the RNG at finding all three possible slave girls you will be all but forced to play through twice if you want to see both endings for all three slave girls.

In closing I can't give this game any less than 3 stars because it does work and for some the edging aspect of the resource management is a fun challenge but I can't ignore nor condone the general feeling of punishing the player for wanting to get at the adult content. It's why we all here in the first place and for that this game barely gets that third star and nothing else.

Smut if fine for twine game, but features that just kill it for me:

• All the fun choices lead to gameovers.
• Has way too much management. (And when you fail it leads to... you guessed it: gameover.)

As a result of the two point above: you have to grind the same stuff over and over again. After like 10 minutes 99% of the stuff you see is the stuff you have already seen and you grind for the hope rng gives you something new.

It's one of the few games out there with actual gameplay. Sure, it's a reigns copycat, but really well-made. It's fun to explore, as you constantly stumble at new layers, content, and hidden events, and it even has slave management. All this is wrapped up in a distinct style and suitable music, resulting in a unique experience. This game is definitely a hidden gem.

v0.5
I really like it! The gameplay is interesting and challenging, the visuals are cool, and I also like the soundtrack. The writing here is ok, altho it's obvious that the dev isn't a native. Well, neither am I so no real problems here. The new update adds some new improvement options I personally find way too cheating, that "consequences" thing makes the game too easy to beat, but maybe it's for the better.
Anyway, that's truly a good one!

There is very little chance to fuck-up a real porn html game
Yet here we are

Dev hides most basic things behind a paywall like go back button or cheats

And wastes your time with boring and cliche story then punishes you because you passed a made up limit for something or you didnt care about something because its a porn game and you probably playing with your one hand

Poorly written, the gameplay is too repetitive. The scenes are fine, but you basically scroll through several chosen vids in a folder, based on a chosen character. The usual text is cringy, trying to be discriminating and dominant against women, but turns out just funny (especially in Russian). The quest (main girl quests to get H scenes) scribbles are long and boring, just blatantly describing whatever's happening in the shown video, spiced up with a lot of "yeye sukk my kok bicthh". Looks like the author lacks taste, or haven't had any sexual relationship and just imagines it this way. Or both. That's a no.

There isn't much to say about this game, especially in it's current stages. It is a simple, fun, abridged version of REIGNS. The only things that are needed so far are:
- Better translation, because there are some parts of the text that need to be fixed
- An overarching story, which while it is not a necessary addition, might be good regardless
-Additional content and events (considering this is version 0.2.1 this point may be ommited, since new content will be inevitably added to the game later)
