HTML - Masters of Raana [v0.8.4.8] [GrimDark]

Masters of Raana feels like a true pen-and-paper RPG brought to life: deep stats, real choices, and stories that actually change based on how you role-play, with porn as the cherry on top. No other game lets you be an interstellar Muslim scholar-adventurer — a character who uses knowledge, ethics, and economic strategy to shape a sci-fi world. The game treats culture and faith with depth rather than stereotypes, even drawing inspiration from real historical systems like waqf to make economic gameplay meaningful (*ehem*, the accountant's favorable stat). The lore gives Dune a run for its money, and it's F2P!

It tackles mature themes with player agency: you can challenge oppressive systems, pursue redemption arcs, and reshape society through diplomacy, intellect, and leadership. The mechanics around scholarship, finance, and world impact are honestly some of the coolest I’ve seen in any RPG.

GrimDark Studios clearly cares about world-building and representation just as much as gameplay. Continuous updates, deeper role-playing frameworks, and equal world-building attention across different belief systems — not just the familiar “Crusader-era” inspirations — show how much the developers value representation.

If you want role-play freedom, complex character building, and a universe that feels truly new… this one is a gem. Favorite RPG of all time.

More Aisha Hasan archetypes with original background stories pls.

Top story and great gameplay. Exciting to see where this is going, even if the going is slow. But still one of the best stories in years. Forget AAA games. I would read a book about Raana. The wiki, the ingame books, the lore and everything else is top writing material.

This game should be turned into an open world RPG using the Unreal 5 engine!
Imagine seeing all the characters in 3D voiced and in an open world RPG...
I guarantee it will surpass the best indie games in profit
If the main developer can read this, open a gofundme page to fund this and I will be your 1st supporter!

What can i say, this is a fantastic game. truly.

the story isnt really much to run home about.

but the level of detail in the game, freedom to be how you want. wanna be a harsh slave master? nice? brutal? wanna murder everything? wanna romance em? you can


this game is a good Adult RPG, that ive spent the past day or so playing, and ive had a blast.

sure theres still alot of content gaps that need filled, and eventually you end up running out of quests, and then youre left in the same gameplay loop. its fun, ive been none stop playing it for the past day or two. however now im bored xD.

the games a load of fun, i had alot more fun than i originally thought i would. i even tried it in the past and didnt like it. so to really enjoy it, yeah. props.



i do feel some things are unfortunately missing, and the dev wont add them.

big one. incest. you can have kids, and when they get of legal age, you can see em naked, put em into prostitution,and thats alright? but no going full degenerate in a game full of rape, murder, and brutality and slavery? but incest is considered too far? its unfortunate as i feel the game was built for it, and walks that censorship line too closely. the dev doesnt wanna get booted off their platforms, which is fair enough. id be the same. but id also offer a mod pack to include said content, but avoid anything pointing back to me. however they have gone out their way to patch any exploits that allow it, so that really fucking sucks.


i feel this game however has huge potential, but still needs more time to cook. more features like ass eating, and more control over slaves and subjects. ie, no cleaning, no going out, etc etc. just overall content, daily random events that happen whilst you explore. just more things to interact with, more npcs to take and stuff, and more quests and locations with things to do in them. more factions to join and stuff to do with em.

its a good game, mods are mostly broken and inconsistent. but ensure to download the official mods and youll get pics and some animations too. i wish that side of things was fully fleshed out, especially animations. the animations are at times pretty inconsistent in terms of quality, and lacks variety. most of em miss the money shots, and close ups.


wishlist:

incest options *why avoid it altogether and patch folks trying to make it. theres alot worser darker stuff in this lol*

ability to have bi content *optional* trans ladies we can enslave, dudes too. opens the ability to force someone to transition, feminise em, force em to get surgery, and them force em to either live as a trans woman, femboy, or a full woman. would add to the games darker tone, and offer an OPTIONAL alternative to slave master behaviours. i get the dev isnt into that, but hey youre making a game for your players. why not? even offer one slave of each or something and go from there.


more anal interactions overall. theyre lacking. you can do anal as much as you want, but the stills and animations lack close up shots of the ass, gapes, creampies, and fucking. and the animations are clunky looking at times.


more things to do overall.

ASS EATING



overall its a good game, that i had a blast playing, and would consider supporting financially. however it is unfortunate that it picks and chooses which dark vices it wants to explore, to avoid removal, and they refuse to make a mod pack that includes the banned features which is entirely their choice. it doesnt reflect my rating. but its just super unfortunate.

but moaning aside. it is a great game, its tons of fun. but still needs more time to cook. if it means much, id actually buy this game, even in its current state

I first noticed this game a couple of years ago. I had come home late one night, pretty stressed from work and just wanted something to help me unwind. I didn't want something complicated to play, I just wanted something that I could start playing right away, de-stress a little and then maybe never play it again. I downloaded this thing called Masters of Raana that I had never heard of, not expecting much and wow! This thing was fun! I'm not talking about the porn aspect of it. I'm talking about the story, lore and game play. I even liked the sounds of the game world. It all came together in a way that really drew me in. This is a lot more than just a typical porn game. In fact, I really don't think of it as a porn game when I'm playing it. GrimDark Studios knows how to do more than just type code and upload some sexy renders. He actually makes a story that's interesting and fun, with game mechanics that are easy to learn.

Since that time, one of the things that impressed me the most about GrimDark studios is the number of frequent updates still being made on this game. I've watched the game grow in terms of map size, story development, interactable characters and frequently improved game mechanics. And it's still expanding, so I don't think I'll ever run out of content to play. GrimDark works like a madman, constantly updating and improving this game. I'm not kidding, the guy has the work ethic of a mad scientist! Download the latest version of this game, and before you get very far in it, there will be multiple updates available. I don't know where this mysterious figure known as GrimDark finds the time. It has been rumored that he owns a time dilation machine installed in his personal computer tower, making it possible for him to slow time down within a bubble a few yards in circumference (with his computer as the event epicenter), in order to crank out the amount of code and character renders necessary to complete this many updates in this amount of time.

The Lore is interesting. The story is intriguing. If GrimDark weren't a game developer, he'd still be able to make a great living as a fiction writer. He's created a detailed history for the game world with interesting character and societal development. Some characters are more fleshed out than others with their unique personalities, backgrounds and motivations. Grim has set the world and the NPCs, but he made a game that allows us, the players to choose how we want to live and behave in this world. There are many ways to play, many optional paths. As the player, you get to choose what kind of person you are and how you want to live your life. You decide how you get your resources (there are several ways to make a living on Raana), how you interact with each NPC, build your own team. You decide which, and how many of a long, ever-expanding list of NPC's will be part of your household. You choose how, if at all, will you deal with random daily events in the world. You have a lot of control in how you want to play, as you should in an RPG. This is RPG done right, with lots of options for how you want to RP your character.

The developer is regularly present in the game's discord, interacting with players, giving previews of upcoming updates, including visual previews of newly rendered scenes, new characters, expanded lore and story arcs. He takes suggestions from the peanut gallery, and posts polls on the channel, sometimes allowing players to have a say in which things he'll add or update next. The developer makes himself available to answer questions and fix bugs as they are reported. In the Discord, GrimDark exhibits a helpful demeanor to players whether they be seasoned pros or complete noobs and has a fun sense of humor. The discord channel that goes along with this game is something else that adds to the fun. I don't usually spend much time on discord for any other game that I play. I know a lot of people enjoy discord, but I've just never really been into any game's associated discord channel... until now. I leave the discord channel for MoR running in the background while I play the game. Every day there are discussions of tips, tricks and advice from different points of view for new and old players, lots of helpful veterans with different takes on how to play. The discord is fun, with a mix of new and old players. It's a community that is always helpful in answering questions and discussing strategy with each other. Personally, I like to laugh, I'm here for fun. So, what I like most about the discord is the general good-natured sense of humor from the community and from the game developer himself. Often, I literally laugh out loud when I read the some of the funnier posts.

A great management game! Beautiful setting and writing, economy management and later politics. Many different quests and paths to complete the main quest. Hundreds of different girls with ever increasing amount of renders! Interesting ways to train your subordinates: you can make them afraid of you and be absolutely obedient slaves or you can build their character and respect for you, eventually freeing all slaves and becoming a save haven for them.

i discovered this game several days ago, and i should say it is a huge, mostly interesting game. i know nothing about any adult content in this game, because i was rejected there more than irl, but this game has its own story. however, DO NOT try to play it without cheats or save editor.
please do not delete, maybe devs will read my whining and find something useful.
and remember! this whole game is a single html page. that's insane.

A solid game that can stan on its own even without the porn (but of course the porn it is the selling point), the setting and lore are very intriguing.
Yes, some mechanics are too convoluted and numbers don't make sense, and art quanlity are meh. But hey, it is still in developent and it is fine at the moment and it does have great potential.

This is one of the best slave management porn games on this site, I only wish the game would get animations someday, maybe some UI rework and simplified game mechanics, because even though I like complex games, the mechanics here seem a bit overcomplicated, especially for a new player. With these changes this would be absolute top slave management game, rivaled only by gems like Diary of Mine.

Perfect, only game I have paid for patreon access as I want new content NOW!

Would love to see more games like this, where you fully choose the game you play & want more updates for the stories on here

Good game about management, decent turn-based combat mechanics and rather low quality of "fapping material".

But overall well worthy of four stars.

I've spend quite some time in this game, but mostly, causeI like strategy and management.

If YOU are here for lewd stuff, ehhh, not as much...
But at least something!

Well worth a try for everybody

My least favourite go-to slave management game after Free Cities, Jack-o-Nine-Tails, and Brothel King. But it's still pretty good.
pros:

• Wealth of content and active development
• Quite a refined take on slave girl erotica
• Innovative and functional gameplay systems, didn't encounter any bugs.
• Good world-building, theme, aesthetic. I don't like 3dslop in general but it's fitting here.

cons:

• Opaque mechanics, no tooltips
• Poor dialogue writing all over the place
• Poor game design in general: progression, risk-reward are hard to understand.
• Unclear what should be micromanaged (handled actively as a priority), and what should be macromanaged (gained passively)
• Pieces of content plastered on 1 by 1, don't interact or fit together
• Time-stamina management chaos, a lot of things don't make sense.

Just fixing that last one would elevate the game a lot for me. Shouldn't take two hours to do foreplay, shouldn't take an hour to get a blowjob, shouldn't take two hours to give my slave her 10 daily lashes. How long is the travel time to go 1 block over? How long does it take to schmooze at a bar? To take a shower? I don't have a clue, but probably longer than expected. If I miss my bedtime, I don't get to see any of the end-day logs, probably they still happen? If I get tired but still read a book all night, it's probably bad but should I care?

As a Jack player, I do tolerate some mechanic opacity. Having to save scum and read the wiki as a new player is tolerable, but for this one I feel like I need to start reading the source code and drafting spreadsheets in order to do anything right.

Not just a porn game. This is absolute GOAT shit. If you like regular games like civilization or football manager and you like porn then give this a whirl. Apparently I need 200 characters for fuck sake what in the absolute sandy vagina cunt flappery.

Grindy as fuck, but scratches itches I didn't know I had had, and can be enjoyed outside the sexual content as well. Its consumed a good amount of my time in the blink of an eye, and I don't regret it. One of the best this site has to offer.

One of the best games on the site with the caveat that it comes with a metric ton of grinding. Imagine an absurd amount of grinding and multiply it, MoR is worse.

Most of the game is spent watching numbers go up slowly after clicking through multiple menus to get to the exact action you were looking for, and you will repeat this thousands of times. If you get bored of grinds easily, you can cheat to get to the "fun" faster, but even with cheats the game remains a grind.

If you can look beyond the grind, the game has a stupid amount of content. I think there are over 100 girls with unique renders now and you can easily amass a harem in the dozens. The unique characters all have some level of backstory, with a decent number of them having some type of quest. There is an absurd number of interactions you can have with each character as well as customization. You can mold characters into what you want over time and there are literally dozens of jobs you can asign to any of them.

Aside from the grind, the game has a *lot* of mechanics that aren't evident and the wiki seems hopelessly outdated. While playing, I ended up having to check the Discord and this thread often just to try and figure out how shit worked and what to do. That is annoying, but the game has so many interesting mechanics and ways to play that I don't even mind the frustration of trying to figure everything out.

All of that sounds very negative, but MoR is actually quite addicting. The level of freedom you get to run your household any way you want is amazing and the variety in characters is large enough that you can spend a lot of time with this game. A lot. The sex scenes aren't animated and the quality of the models could be better, but there are so many of them and so many characters that chances are you'll like at least some of them.

Overall, if you like harem, trainer, or slave management games, MoR will scratch that itch for you and scratch it well and you'll be surprised at the massive amount of things to do in the game. Take it slow and don't try to unlock/do everything in a day. This is not one of those games. Also make your peace with having to click shit 10 times to get to the exact action you want to do.

Tip for new players: Not having to worry about money makes the grind a lot more palatable. Capture and sell slaves at first to get decent starting funds and use those to set up workshops. Once you have workshops up and running and with enough slaves working in them you'll be swimming in money. You can take out a loan at the bank to speed up the process.

Masters of Raana has no real end game goal. You can continue building your empire until your MC dies of old age – fostering children, marrying your favorite girl and conquering other factions. There exist a set of "Main quests", however, that could be considered a way to "finish" MoR's storyline. These are:

• Finding out what happened to your lost brother ("The Last Relative" questline – exclusive to Tier2+ subscribers).
• Finding out the dark secrets of Raana ("The Prowler in the Depths" questline).
• Helping House Kymanto and restore them to their former glory ("The Shrouded House" questline).
• Either helping or break the former rebel leader Aria Bianchi (the "Slavemasters of Raana" questline).

You can read about these quests either in your in-game journal or at this wiki.

I so badly want to love this game because of the effort and passion apparent in its production. There is very obviously thousands of pages worth of worldbuilding behind this game, with its own economy, politics, technology, etc. There are layers to the gameplay, allowing players to do house management, slave management, combat, etc. There are dozens of unique characters with their own hopes and dreams (and quests) to pursue. It’s clearly a labour of love.

However, I think this game is too much all at once and made on the wrong engine.

Even after investing far longer than I would normally give a game in tutorial and research time, I found myself desperately unprepared for the complexity of this game. I had chosen a class with economical strengths but didn’t know how to take advantage of those strengths. I was obliged to enter combat but had no idea how to get myself and my crew strong enough to take down foes. I even tried cheating to buy better weapons and level up stats, and only barely defeated enemies that I had to defeat for my quests.

I think this game would be much better if there were ways to isolate the complexity of this massive world. For example, if my character’s strengths are economy (or if I just choose to pursue that in a tutorial), just give me a tutorial where I mechanically see NOTHING ELSE other than how I accomplish an economical milestone. Then, when I finish that milestone, let me pick another mechanic’s tutorial, or enter the main game.

Also relevant to this game doing “too much”: as other reviewers have noted, I would much rather have fewer NPCs who actually feel unique than a hundred different characters with unique AI CG/backstories that all feel like the same character because they have the same reactions/personality.

As for why I think this game being the wrong platform, I have 32GB of ram and my UI was still becoming unresponsive for seconds at a time until I closed and reopened the tab this game was on. Performance is a problem in this game. Additionally, for as impressive as it is that the dev made this UI in html, it still feels inferior for what they’re trying to accomplish. It’s SO tedious to navigate places using this game’s map or to find things in the massive menu of buttons within buttons. After about 7 hours of trying to overcome these difficulties, I uninstalled.

I think there’s an incredible story in here, but the gameplay is a mess.

This was a tough one to review for me. On the one hand, a wonderful game, totally sucks you in. Everyone should tryt it - it's definitely "good". But is it "fun"?

On the one hand it's great:

• open world sandbox, do what you want go where you want
• rpg grinding to become more powerful/skillful can be satisfying
• interesting quests with different options for handling them
• image renders are nice, girls are cute, scenes are hot, very classic male dom your harem of slaves
• constant updates
• more than just porn - there are lots of systems and ways to play and a broader world full of interesting lore and exploration
• and more

All these things are awesome.

But, for all that it offers, I find that the closer you get to what you might call "core gameplay mechanics" or "core things for a porn game to do well", the less great it is. The core of a good slave game should revolve around the interaction, management, training, and breaking of slaves. It should involve your slave's personality, behavior etc shifting, and offer a diverse range of experiences and ways you can break slaves. And it should feel realistic, ideally modeling human psychology effectively, with a reasonable punishment and reward system. If there are multiple slave characters they should have different traits that both change your strategy for how to break them, and lead to differing events, dialogues and reactions.

And unfortunately it is here that I find this game to be most lacking. You can do the same exact activities with each slave, and there are very minor dialogue and event differences between them. There are three-ish ways to break slaves - either through affection, coercion, or bdsm. Doing so involves grinding to get your relevant stats up (beauty/charisma for affection, manipulate for coercion, bondage/flagellation for bdsm), then spamming the same limited set of actions for each type, and slowly changing a number. The slaves are virtually identical in this regard - they might have slightly different traits or attributes but nothing that meaningfully changes the way you interact with them. You can basically do it mindlessly - it's part of the grind.

So yeah, while I wanted to give this game 5/5, I think I can only give it 4. It's got a ton going for it, and lots of content, lore, scenes, hot renders. The content is very "wide" - there are something like 30-40 different NPCs/slaves you can have in your household that are all slightly different from one another. But ultimately that variety is only surface level - the core slave gameplay is a bit shallow and repetitive.

If Grim is reading, I'd say that the way to improve it now would be to incorporate a more dynamic punishment and reward system and more complex internal psychology from JoNT, and to add more flavor to make slaves more unique - for example unique skills, more unique dialogues, or decisions . The game has plenty of breadth, now it needs more depth.

Maybe the only game with a world that makes you stop to wonder at it. Its fun and its grey. Things are confusing, they are in flux, where different parties and factions arent clear cut, no lore dumps but just a world you claw through to explore.

The porn is fine. But theres not that much variation, unless I am missing something? One bondage location and thats all. Pillory would be nice! Girls have "traits" but they all have the same dialogue and beyond that It doesnt really come into play. More events during sex might have been good. Lot of images, to its credit. And after youve trained them up whats the point of visiting those slaves again? In fact the game will describe how your slaves become more willing to whore themselves out, streets and to servants in your household but you never see it in action, random events throught your manor would be pretty cool.

Also not a big fan of the Ai art but Im not knocking it for that, its a big game, lotta scenes.

Combat is fine, I think people beyond me have better criticism then i can make.

Oh and let me give completely unsolicited advice. A prequel with the main character as Loren or Aiko, would make me happy, dunno about anyone else. Seems like fun adventures. AND add more latina pls

Probably the only F95's game that would be genuinely good even without the porn part, I've spent 100 hours trying to find everything there is. Kudos to GrimDark for this masterpiece. I guess only negative is that the official art mods don't seem to keep up too well.
