VN - Ren'Py - Mind Control [v0.225] [specialmind]

[v0.225]

This is an interesting VN, the main feature of which is a plethora of decisions that you will have to make. First - your stats, that will act as a condition for which scenarios you can trigger, but on top of that there is a butt-load of choices, the dev constantly bombards you with them. They all affect the dialogue flavor and how scenes will play out. Right now there is almost 2 hrs of content and no story branching. I think in it's current state it probably deserves a 4, but I didn't like how "plump" and dull Rosie is forced upon us, as I'm not a chubby chaser and she's simply boring. I also don't appreciate Emilie as a whole package and the fact that if you try to stave her off your sister, she will in turn hate you for it. We will see how that plays out in future updates and if I will adjust my rating.

Version 0.225

The game setting seems on first sight quite usual - boy controlling girls. Seen hundrets of times.

BUT when playing you experience the difference.
- a very wide system of decisions, that opens one branch of the story and closes another. Really gamechanging decisions
- the stat system is the same, pushing one stat opens other options than pushing the others
- exciting plot (some spelling mistakes)
- different types of girls (shy, offensive, submissive, ...) but you can change them by using mind control
- mind control is not unlimited and can be detected by the persons around, so no overkill or world domination
- different faces and body types of the girls - no same face sma ebody different hair colour
- good graphics and some rare art pictures like the one on the top page

In my opinion the best mind control game so far.

The Scenes are Hot without getting bored, one of the few Games where I don't fast forward it.
You will see all these wicked Sex Acts from BDSM to Anal to name a few.
I'm pretty sure everybody will find one or another Kink in this Game.
Can`t wait for the Next Release.
Lots of Potential here.

The incest content is one of the best

The good, the bad and the ugly:

Lets start with the good; I like the concept of the game that puts the mc in a moral dilemma between using his powers for himself or to "help" others. I also apreciated that in this novel not all girls are super models, though there are some cute girls it's more realistic. I pretty enjoyed the revenge on that girl that didn't want to delete the video of the sister with that troglodyte, though kinda risky of the mc to use his powers in the open, no?

The bad: I disliked the fact that the player is forced to go along with Rosie. I'd like to have an option to avoid her. I'm not really into the religious corruption trope and she's way to prude for my taste. Also I'd rather not use the mindcontrol powers on her just so the mc can get laid, she gotta want it or it won't happen. And my mc also won't go on his knees to be able to squeeze, he is what? 18? 19? Yeah F that =P

Last but not least, the ugly; I sincerely hate that female troglodyte and she needs to keep her claws away from the sister =P (especially after knowing "that")

To summerize: story is good (minus the forced relationship) and considering the theme of the game, prolly not for everyone.

I really like this game because even if most characters aren t like supermodels most of them look more realistic. And the most thing i like is that when you have your scenes you can choose what sexual stuff you whant to do.
And i like that the MC can became bi in the future ( off coruse as your choice)

I just finished version 0.22 and need to say it´s a fun little game. I like it how the dialogs change depending on your dominance or how the sex scenes alters depending on your virility and stamina.

I hope this game will have a bright future. It´s not nowhere near to games like Eternum, Ripples, Badik but it has it´s own charm. Can´t wait for future updates to see how it will continue

Cool game. Everything is good in it: starting with the shocking music and ending with the impression that your actions really affect the plot. The characters look nice. The plot will not be dragged out by extra bullshit.

I just hope the author will not abandon it and
implements that he mind

I can't wait to try new updates! I love it, the game is really nice and the models are for once realistics. I would love more games like this one. I hope we will receive new updates shortly.
Only issue: too short for now

Very good game, love how it uses mind control and how it is used in game with multiple branches that it seems to go, only concern is that the dev will bite off more than he can chew with this branching pathways. The models are alright, I've seen worse, the most that the dev gotta work on is the blowjob scenes they do not look good ngl. The story is pretty good so far, nice bit of a mystery while being able to fuck so many times in one day. Game play is more linear since it is a visual novel, but other than that, I am excited for what this dev comes out with!

No idea why this is rated so highly. Hideous models, awful characters, bad writing, meaningless choices, and a terrible implementation of the mind control fantasy. You can never use said powers to do anything that you'd actually want to do or that would actually make sense, and most of the time it doesn't work anyway. So despite your super mind powers, you spend the whole game getting pushed around while a crackwhore lizard gollum makes out with your sister.

And again, choices are pretty meaningless, so even if that's what you're into, you can't do much to push things more in that direction faster.

Hard pass.

Best idea of a mind control implementation in a game that I have seen so far. Choices do seem to matter and multiple interesting pathways semm to open up regarding what you want to achieve.
I f. ex. decided that I wanted to get the sister character and the blond girlfriend of the mcs friend character as my personal love interests and it seems to be working out quite well. I made some heavy story bending use of the ingame choices to get rid of the mcs own girlfriend character and instead mainly pursue the lesbian sister. Very impressed that that seems to work out in the end and might deliver a satisfying conclusion, even though it seems to not be the anticipated gameplay path a player is expected to go for.

review based on 0.22
The game has good graphics, the story is interesting and the premise is nice. The MC is not annoying and the options given to him so far and I enjoyed playing it multiple times and seeing the different options.
I found that some situations are forced on to you, however I accept that as it is a result of the MC and setting. The MC is new to his power and so isn't perferct in using it and it makes sence that he uses it without intending to.
Sometimes however I found myself wanting a differnt choice then the one presented to me. For example the nudes of your sister are passed around and the MC can't ignore it or wait to be alone with the girl that has them on her phone ( there is an instance when he was alone with her before but is unable to use his power to make her do what he wanted ) and instead uses his power to make her do what he wants in the hallway. Not having the option to ignore the situation was something I disliked but understood the auther using to progress the story in a specific direction and narrowing down the variables so that there aren't too many branching paths which later down the line could be troublesome as I have seen games give to many options and then get abandoned or making any choices given meaningless.

This is what you call a porn game.This one deserves multiple playthroughs.
Story is set in a simple setting yet does not feel repetitive .
The Game Mechanics makes this so immersive in naughty scenes.

My Rating of this Release is:

Pros:
-Nice Renders
-Great Story
-Decent Game Play
-Long Release
-Hot Dialog
-Suspenseful Story

Cons:
When it Ends

Love the Game, no getting Blue Balls here that gets you frustrated.
Great FAB Material
Lots of Scenes and Dialog with a Great Story behind it, the Renders are Great with Typical Teenagers with all this High-Snobiety Looks.
The Scenes are Hot without getting bored, one of the few Games where I don't fast forward it.
You will see all these wicked Sex Acts from BDSM to Anal to name a few.
I'm pretty sure everybody will find one or another Kink in this Game.
Can`t wait for the Next Release.
Lots of Potential here.

[v0.21b]

Decent game but far from being a good one.

Dialogues are very simplistic, without much depth. Something so deep and depraved as having sex with sister is nothing more than 3 lines of persuasion and they act like it's nothing yet at the same time Mia is afraid of letting others know that she is gay. Characters are shallow, it feels like talking with them is just a means not a goal itself so something you just have to get through but will forget 2min after.

It's annoying that game gives you few options about certain characters/relations but forces you into chubby anyway... Since my first decision I did everything to avoid Rosie yet most characters still treat us like a couple, consider "what would Rosie think" (I don't fucking care), pushes MC into more intimate contact (kissing) with her. I have basically negative relation with her yet some still behave like we are sort of a couple and call her my girlfriend.

Renders are decent, on the edge of being outdated but still okayish, getting better in time I guess. I don't like how MC looks, actually most characters don't seem to be appealing except Mia and Elise (and nurse) but let's say that was intentional and I can live with that.

I like plot as an idea, execution could be much better. MC seems to be sometimes stupid about decisions he makes but yeah... I also like RPG elements, even that they don't matter much it's always nice to see developer trying something more than just slides with text.

Overall I think game targets specific kind of AVN enjoyers and it's not for everyone, nevertheless I will check next updates.

awesome game!

Really love the freedom in most scenes that the use of power can give you, or save it for another scene/situation.

Good quality renders, kinky characters, and plot is sex focused (like a porn game should be), now I want to now more about the sex cult.

This game hits different at the start with lots of variations on the story but outdated renders and lack of animations tend to lower overall score in my case. In short structure and premise is good but execution and quality is mediocre.

Great fucking game, this is a diamond in the mud, because of the art and the sypnosis someone may think this is a low qality incest corruption game but this shit is top tier, ITS A MUST, the plot is everything, and the female characters each one have her own charm, love this game

I think this game is worth you time. It's not perfect, but you'll have a good time playing through this, if the premise appeals to you.

Two points of criticism: Firstly, it's not made clear how your mind control power works exactly. Your power is as strong or weak as the story requires, which to me is not very satisfying.
The second main issue I have is that I don't understand Rosie. Why is she in this story? Is she meant to be a grounding character? The story pushes you to chase after Rosie, but you're not given a reason why you (the player) would want that.

An interesting question in adult games is always: what do you do with other male characters? How do they relate the PC and how do they relate to other female characters? Do you want to give the fantasy of letting the player 'collect' all the female characters, or can you only pursue one? Since this is a game about Mind Control, the answer comes naturally.
The story could have been a lot simpler if there weren't any supporting male characters. So the inclusion seems to be a deliberate choice. I'm not sure if that choice is paying off yet.

Personally not a fan of familial relations, that always feels awkward. I did enjoy the setup for upheaval, that felt refreshing.

Based on 0.21b

This is on version 0.21.

Despite some decent visuals, "Mind Control" really very much fails to live up to that idea of "Control". The game is a linear story with minor branching decisions that do provide alterations and access to scenes, but not much to story. In short, it doesn't go anywhere near far enough to reinforce the concept.

Apart from that failure, it's exactly the generic AVN you've come to expect, carrying all the negatives that come with that.
