VN - Ren'Py - Mind Control: Twisted Thoughts [v0.26 Beta] [specialmind]

This AVN really surprised me, the amount of actual choices was wild. Its been a bit since I've been an AVN, but wow, this really let you take the wheel on how you wanted the story to develop. Plus the amount of optional things in this AVN really gave me the options to try a lot of things.

I'm actually looking forward to updates on this

Overall a vergy good game, that doesn't take long to get into the juicy things. So if you want a slow burn its not that much for you.
For the others there is a group of friends exploring their (very) naughty sides, while the MC has the option to push them further with mind control.
The mindcontrol is pretty op but fun and not needed to get laid - a lot.
There is also a lot of classic dominance plays on both ends.

really good and worth the time. I really enjoy the story and it flows nicely. Wish there were more like this one. It has all the right kinks and brings them into the story in a way that isn't completely crazy.

Version Reviewed: v0.26 Beta

Overview: A mind control game where the protagonist behaves like you would expect.

Story: The MC discovers that he can suddenly read minds and even influence them. He mentions offhand about drinking something weird but doesn't seem overly interested in looking this particular gift horse in the mouth.

He then goes around and starts mind controlling his friends, family, teacher, street urchins, shop owners, other parents, and really anybody who gets in his way. This is such a refreshing change from most mind control games with stupid and feckless protagonists who usually forget that they can control minds and often go to extreme lengths to drag out the process as long as possible.

In this game you get a burst of exposition at the start but by the third chapter the writer has the pedal to the metal and never lifts. Some of the scenes get quite porny but just as you think the game has gone off the deep end it pulls out a twist that explains a lot. It also helps that the writing is long enough to make the characters (well, the MC's friends) sound mostly like real people but doesn't pad out the game with huge walls of boring text. Pretty much everything is in service of the plot, which is very rare in pornogames where the writers actually care. I especially like how the protagonist makes up his mind quickly and doesn't fret over every single little decision they make.

Graphics: Very nice Daz renders with ample sex scenes. There are no animations that I remember, but this is a positive in my book. Halfassed animations are worse than no animations. This game also doesn't just use the stock Daz models you've seen a thousand times already, and actually branches out into less conventionally attractive models. One of the main LIs is overweight for example, although not grossly so. The lesbian villain character has some problems around the face area. I find it refreshing, but others may disagree.

Gameplay: This is a kinetic novel, but there are some mild RPG elements in the form of stats for the MC. In playing through a couple of times it seems there are a number of single line changes that hinge on the stats as well as a hanful of checks. The big limitation is your mind control power stops working for a couple of scenes when you use it and you also stop being able to listen in on other people's thoughts, so you have to be strategic when you use it. I had the best luck when I maxed out the domination stat early (perversion seems to rise on its own pretty quickly), but there may be better ways to play the game. I did lose the big sex party game halfway through chapter 3, so maybe it's possible to do better.

Conclusion: This is the best mind control sexgame I've ever played, and it's not even close. It does feel like the game might be reaching some kind of conclusion relatively soon despite the low version number. In my playthrough I had managed to max out both of the important stats by the time I hit the end of the current version and it really feels like the story is just about ready to start a second chapter. My final note is that the length of the game feels just right. Too many games try to pad out their content with grind mechanics or interminable text blocks, but this game really hits the sweet spot on delivering the story without feeling rushed (ok, chapter 3 is starting to push it) or draggy.

Review 0.26beta
Wow what a mindf**k (pun intended). I really enjoyed the mechanisms employed here, there is strategy involved, a lot of nuance and it's really phenomenally implemented, congrats to the dev. What a breath of fresh air!
Another big plus is the build up of the lewd scenes. The game balanced incredibly on the thin line between blue balling and hot scenes, almost never going above or below, with a good amount of release. No huge text walls, game shows rather than tells, and it is very well written.
Spot on variety of LIs (body, kinks, faces) and some serious differentiation of characters, plus some decent development.
And what a nice pace of corruption we got! Finally someone did it right!
This game walked easily among my top 10, only holding back due to its kinda early version (fingers crossed this doesn't get abandoned), although there is a fair amount of content, and its average 3D presentation. I am not a huge sucker for graphics, but some skin texture, some close up details of body parts and so on could be the cherry on top. But again, this game does so many things right that I couldn't care less about the visuals

Ps: Did I mention that this is maybe one of the 4-5 games that actually has options that impact the plot? The illusion of choice here is , like a lot of this game's other parts, done expertly!

TLR - Perverted Corruption, mind control, SM, Incest kinks here. Twisted perversion mind control plot.

The plot is mostly believable with the given premises and the writing is solid with no descriptive writing but mind speak. MC discovers his "super power" and explores it and further more uses it for "entertainment" for YOU the audiance . There is some Trap/Trans content that can be avoided I think, but it was very interesting to me though it must be very feminin to me (personal preference) what it was and I'd like to see more here in the SM/Mind control plot.
There is also a developing Sister/Mother incest plot that is very appealing as you can experience the corruption of them both in the scenes. I love it! you can or not share/abuse your GF, choice is up to you.


Kink: 5/5 (Incest/mind control)
Graphics: 5/5
Plot: 4/5
Writing: 4/5
Sound/Music: yes

Final verdict: Various Kinks that get your juices flowing!

v0.26 is a great step forward. The beta is showing a lot of promise, especially with the 'specialmind' elements. I’m personally hoping for more "extreme heavy choices" in the next build to really push the boundaries of the mind control. Looking forward to dark choices or choose your adventure type.

Not normally into 3dcg, especially western ones, but this one is really good because of the variety of girls on offer here. There's chubby girls with bigger tits, dommy girls, submissive girls. The variety is just really good, and the amount of kinks on offer is phenomenal.

The MC is ugly though. Hair game is off point. But I appreciate him having a normal cock size rather than a tree trunk. The girls having normal, human bodies is also a big turn on.

This game is exceptional.

It’s the first time I’ve ever left a review, but it really deserves it. Once I finished the available content, I replayed it several times, changing different parameters and answers, and it stayed really interesting.

What I especially like is being able to manage your stamina/resistance — it actually changes how some situations play out. And the events are really well done; as someone who enjoys game-style events like truth or dare , I was more than satisfied!
There’s not much to complain about: the visuals, the story, and the possibilities are all excellent.

Good job !

I got incredibly absorbed by this game — honestly, more than I expected. This is the first game in years that made me dive in completely, reading every line without skipping anything. I even replayed several parts just because I wanted to experience them again. The story pulls you in so deeply that when the new patch ended, I literally couldn’t believe it. I just sat there wanting more, wishing the next update would magically appear.
The atmosphere, the characters, the tension — everything works together so well that it’s impossible not to get hooked. I’m genuinely excited for what comes next. And if you ever release this on Steam, I’ll absolutely buy it without hesitation.

After playing Mind Control, I can say that what stood out the most to me is how good the game is at offering different paths to follow. The number of options is genuinely surprising and makes a big difference in the experience. Every choice opens up new possibilities, which kept me curious to explore more routes and see where each decision could lead.

Overall, I really liked it for that reason: the game encourages you to experiment, go back, and try different alternatives, making each playthrough unique. For anyone who enjoys visual novels with a lot of freedom and multiple paths to explore, it’s definitely worth it.

This game is way too good! The characters the story, the corruption, it has everything for every taste
Can't wait to see how Rosie's corruption is taken further
Or the corruption of the milfs that's a good route to go as well

Mind Control: Twisted Thoughts [v0.25 Beta]

This VN makes a solid first impression, though I doubt it will ever become one of my favorites. Why? Overall, it delivers decent quality, but two key elements are missing for me: a captivating story and natural-looking skin textures.

I wouldn’t say the story is boring, but it lacks a real hook. We’ve got a young male MC who’s still a virgin and suddenly gains supernatural abilities - the power to read minds and control people around him. This setup is basically used to let him experience as many sexual encounters as possible while competing with others. Small story spoiler: He’s not the only one with these powers, which makes the plot a bit more interesting for me.

To the dev’s credit, it’s a clever way to give the player believable control over the MC’s actions and his sexual adventures, especially with the wide variety of fetishes on offer. In addition to choices, the player can also influence certain outcomes in erotic scenes through attribute points. However, this system definitely needs some rebalancing, since stats hit their max far too quickly. It also doesn’t feel fully integrated into the story or the lewd scenes yet. Real branching isn’t present in this VN - your decisions simply unlock or lock certain encounters with LIs.

Most characters’ behavior feels a bit off and lacks believability. Still, since it's fiction, I can let that slide. It’s not a dealbreaker, but overall the story just feels too shallow to stay engaging for long.

As mentioned earlier, the flawless skin textures are another weak spot. The “plastic look” of the character models takes the visual quality down a notch. The skin is too smooth and perfect, giving everyone a doll-like appearance - a shame, because otherwise I have no complaints about the renders.
I’m also not a fan of the MC’s design, especially his hairstyle. His face lacks masculinity, and with that hair he looks like a mix between a creep and a nerd. Maybe that was a deliberate design choice, but dear dev, please let him change his appearance a bit in the future, so I don’t feel completely turned off by him.

On a more positive note, I really like the selection of female characters. They’re not those flawless, overused supermodel types you see everywhere, which I personally appreciate a lot. They differ in body shape and size, look more natural, and each has her own charm. Beauty stands out best in contrast, after all.

I can’t recall seeing any animations - only still images that you click through at your own pace. The scene composition and framing during erotic moments, however, are very well done.

The sound effects fit nicely, and the moaning during the sex scenes is tastefully used. The background music wasn’t quite my style, but that’s probably just a matter of taste.

Overall, this VN comes across as a well-balanced package, and for its current stage of development, it’s solid. Unfortunately, it doesn’t really stand out from the crowd of AVNs on this site. I’m giving it 4 stars, even though for me personally, it feels a bit less than that.

waste of time, promising at first goes off the rails fast
stay away if you are straight cause game is gay and needs a tag
mc bought toys and for himself? wtf
also characters out of lgbt tropes
ugly characters but nice renders i guess

Boring game with unattractive characters and vanilla sex scenes that do nothing for me. I'm not against vanilla (in fact it's the best kind of sex) but here it's presented in the most mundane way possible and it offers nothing sexy. Models are fugly, writing is mediocre at best and all in all I can't find one redeeming quality in this game. Goes on my ignore list.

Very solid release, I normally avoid mind control games because I find it to be a cop out story mechanism but this was still pretty good all around. With the exception of the look of the MC I also found the variety of unique side characters to be pretty cool. The whole story reminded me of the game Misfits from a few years ago, it feels like a good spiritual successor.

Whether it is NTR or not is pretty questionable. No one cheats on the MC, at closest you can let NTS happen or just let people around you be in other relationships. Still very good game so far

Liked every single part of the game. Animations and renders, storyline, sex scenes. It is well designed. Had to save or roll back before the options sometimes, but it was worth it. Can't wait for it to continue.

review as of v0.25 beta

Came into this game with zero expectations and, for the most part, was pleasantly surprised.
The girls all look unique, and for all of us who are sick of blow-up dolls this is a real treat.
The ability is well implemented where you can give someone a command, but then lose your ability to read minds for a short time. I don't think it truly matters, but it's a fun interaction.

Your choices are... tbh, I don't think they matter much. I had 2 playthroughs, one where I implanted a command in a girl, and one where I never affected her mind, and she always ended up in the same situations. That, and sometimes you are forced to make a decision that you may not want to, like putting a certain character under control (with a stupid command too) or use your ability when you would rather not.

This lack of agency is the reason this is getting 4 instead of a 5 from me, but other than that it's an interesting game that I would love to see more of.

I really didn't expect this game to be this good.
The multiple choices really feel like choices and not a change of sentence for the same result.
No character is annoying, they all are interesting
I feel like every choice leads to an interesting story
I already retried it several times for multiple paths
It's crazy how badly I'm waiting for the next update! Thank you for that

I did not expect this game to be this good.
From the terribly generic name I thought this would be just another generic game with barely any content like most others.
It isn't.
It is surprisingly good. Great even.
The characterization is good, the plot is great, the interactions between characters are honestly believable, and the dialogue is pretty solid.

The only bad thing I could think of is the sex scenes.
They feel like they desperately need animation, or like they were designed for a different engine than Renpy. But besides that minor problem I am eager to see how the story unfolds.

I hope in the future updates the dev adds multiple branching paths for our decisions rather than railroading to the single storyline. I wonder how the story would unfold if MC never used his powers, or if he acted in a different way.
Maybe a path for a monogamous relationship with each girl?
