VN - Ren'Py - Mind Control [v0.22] [specialmind]

Choices matter. It is seen in many game descriptions promising branches and replayability. Most of the times it's not true.

Here choices really matter. For example, in the last scene of v0.2 you can be with one, two or three girls. Your choice.

The mind control powers are very well executed. The MC is wary of his powers and is not abusing them to bang his mother and sister right away just because he has them.

All in all, an excellent game for those how like mind control themed games.

Played it several times now and digging all of it. Hoping the next update won't take too long, but the creator shouldn't push themselves too hard. Keep that quality going. I don't think I can be too critical of what isn't a complete project yet, but it's very promising.

A few pointers for a future update:
-Maybe add a gauge to influence the ladies' like/dislike/hatred for the MC? Influence their mood by the MC actions?
-While there are a lot of choices that can be made based on your stats, most tales follow the same route so far.
-A few minor bugs and bloopers, with characters leaving the scene only to pop back in.
-Sometimes the MC can take or have an item that doesn't come into play later. That would be a nice addition.

Looking forward to the next update!

CS

it's very good, I love the models, especially rosie's, and the plot behind it is very promising, the different fetishes slowly developing, I hope it won't be abandoned, and it really deserves support.

10/10 Game narrative wise. Characters are amazing and distinct, each with their own personalities. And the amount of choices and paths you can take is a lot, so lets you choose your own playstyle pretty effectively.

A few criticism for the dev, add in-built cheat option for the stats in the beginning of the game as you can't get all the desired scenes without atleast cheating a little bit. And second, since the name of the Game is "Mind Control", so please actually increase more cases of where you can use power to make choices that significantly can alter their personalities.

Loving this game so far lots of branching lots of fetishes and it feels like we actually controlling the story with MC;s powers

This game is easily a 5/5 for me all the content is great and cannot wait for future releases

Pretty good game especially for maledom, training and corruption elements.

MC is not a simp or wimp which is great.

The writing, renders and the models are good.

Needs more interaction with the characters though.

This game was a really pleasant surprise. I wasn’t expecting it to pull off such a unique mix of themes like homosexuality, NTR (netorare), rape, mind control, and more. And yet, it handles them in a way that feels surprisingly cohesive. For just version 0.2, there's already a lot of content here, and it’s pretty impressive.

What really stood out to me was how well the characters are written. They feel authentic, and honestly, I wouldn’t be shocked if some of their stories were inspired by real-life experiences. It really drew me in.

The only downside, in my opinion, is the "chance choice system." Having a percentage chance to select an option doesn’t really add much to the experience, at least not for me. But honestly, that's a minor gripe and definitely doesn't take away from the overall enjoyment.

All in all, this game is genuinely good and definitely worth checking out.

This game starts very good but i'm worried about the direction.

As anyone could guess from a mind control novel, corruption and mind powers are at the core. In the latest release it does feel like the sisters slow corruption has suddenly turned into a sprint

Beyond the pacing theres not enough control over the character interactions - You are forced for example into the teachers private lessons and Joyce and the vile Emilie

The writing is pretty good, the renders are good and the models are good - at least the sister and especially Elise

I was hard pressed to decide between 3+4 but in the end I rated 3 due to the lewd scenes being absolutely ruined by Emilie

I rarely comment on a game, but this game is an absolute masterpiece, and it deserves a five-star praise.

The developer created a fascinating story through a series of issues such as family ethics, religion, domestic violence, LGBT+, etc. It not only satisfies the various fantasies of players, but also makes people think deeply.

The mediocre image rendering of this game is completely made up by sufficient differences in character expressions and various detailed descriptions.

With the appearance of the club, the story became more and more exciting. I fucked Mia, but Rosie got out of control and left angrily. Developer seem to want to tell us that mind control does not dominate everything. Although MC can get momentary pleasure, the consequences it brings may be more uncontrollable

Very good game! I really like how the author handled the fetishes, with lots of options and all well developed. I much prefer a game with good writing and story options rather than fancy animations, it's a much better use of author's time IMO.

The only downsides for me are the weird translation and the fact that the renders aren't really the best, but don't let that discourage you. The rest of the game fully compensates it for me.

Rarely have i seen such a well written script. Best of it, people feel real not those came out of mindless porns. The graphic is not fansy but good enough for me. And also realistic. Keep the good pace.

The RNG system is not necessary at all tho.

Wait... What ?!
Where this game have been ? It's great, genius, enjoyable and so !
- Great Graphics;
- Awesome and Immersive Story line;

There are 1 major point of improvment:
- More liberty to reject the "mandatory" Girlfriend who's a fatass

Exactly what I want in a mind control story. Constant manipulation, both natural and supernatural. I've only done the evil path so I can't yet attest to the moral path but I have full faith that it's well implemented since the writing is very thoughtful throughout, at least I didn't notice any big plot-holes or character issues.
Really excited for the next update since it basically ended with a cliffhanger and I'm hooked.

The game is just incredible. I especially liked that everything happens smoothly - there are no sudden jerks in the plot. Well written dialogues - they are not long and read vividly and interestingly. The quality of renders is beyond praise. This is one of the best games on the portal in this regard. There is a variation of scenes. Leveling up really affects the wagering and it's cool. Characters have their own easy to read character - which is backed up by appearance.

The game idea is really brilliant and so are the game mechanics. It's a rare game where you can actually shape the protagonist's character. On the other side most of the girls are ugly or unattractive but there is one cutie - Elise which is not so easy to get but it makes it more interesting.

Very good game with lots of choices and consequences. Choices are not just window dressing in this game and actually lead to different outcomes, relationships and developments. The scenarios and sex scenes in the game are hot, I especially liked the last scene of having an orgy with your sister and GF at her birthday.

Amazing game. Good writing, decent animations and graphics... I really liked the first two updates. I'm usually not too much into mind control, but this was so good I think I'll keep playing it for a long time.

Review as of v0.2

Bravo! Wonderful! Great job! This is one of the few times I've seen a dev say they're taking time to make changes and rewrite things for their games and actually come back with something of substance. You didn't completely change the story of your game, you kept what you needed to and made meaningful changes with what you already had. The unavoidable lesbian is now avoidable, dealing with the dad and mom is now a choice, the blonde and the guy having sex is now a choice. You listened to what the people said and you actually applied it in a meaningful way. I was skeptical because of the amount of devs that take a "break" to rewrite/remake either don't come back or come back with something worse than what they originally made. But you actually delivered. Just because of the fact you came back with actual changes and improvements after a long wait, you're in my top 10 devs maybe even top 5. Great fucking work. I'm bumping my rating from 3/5 to 4/5 only because I don't give incomplete games a 5/5. I hope you keep up the good work, get more popular, and thrive.

Review as of 0.13

So first I’ll address the first problem people seem to have and I somewhat have with the game. Unavoidable lesbian, there is unavoidable lesbian in the beginning. You don’t have to see it but it happens. It’s between the sister and another woman who is a bitch. It’s especially frustrating since the MC gets shafted a sex scene. So I understand the frustration in the fact that we as the player in control of someone with these abilities is unable to have any influence on how something happens.I would say it would be better if the dev slightly rewrites it with an option of “They get in a relationship and have sex.” and “They get in a relationship but don’t have sex yet.”option. I will say that the Dev somewhat saves it by giving us the choice to stop the next sex scene between the two which was a good call. As long as moving forward we have the option to completely cuntblock then that would be good and save the fact we couldn’t do anything before.

Also I don’t see the reason why we had to get Emilie to stop being interested in Rosie. She was absolutely no threat to us. In fact it would have been better since we could humiliate Emilie as we fuck the women she wants.

What I think would be one good for the Emilie slave route. Complete humiliation, I want to humiliate her for her audacity, I want her to watch us dominate Mia as Mia says stuff like “Oh god! You’re so great Mc!. Show that bitch Emilie how much of a loser she is!” Or something along those lines. Along with her resisting along the way like you showed some of. I don’t want her to become an obedient slave, that;s no fun . I want her to be a reluctant slave as she watches helplessly as we ruin her and show her who owns Mia.

Another thing I saw people upset about was the MC using his mind control to help his parents' marriage. The real problem was that you gave the player no choice in the matter of an obviously important choice. But I can see where it can go as we only used it on dad. Where he really wants to win her back but we come in and steal her anyways or he’s so desperate to get her back that he becomes a cuckold. So I see the vision. With the Mom we better be able to dominate that cheating whore and show her that that shit isn’t gonna fly with us. And show whatever type of fuckboy Evan is a terrible time.

I just hope the dev actually commits if they’re gonna do a dom path. A lot of devs half ass it.

The game mechanics I actually really like, I think it’s actually well implemented. The rolls seem kinda pointless though with the fact you can just rollback but it’s no different from just being able to save scum so it’s fine I wouldn’t worry about it.

The biggest mistake the Dev made in my opinion really is the fact he created situations where we the player had no choice in some actually important moments and they shouldn’t do that moving forward.

I’ll give this game a weak 3 out of 5 mainly for potential alone and I may change it depending on how the game progresses. There’s potential but it had some egregious decisions.

Good game, with interesting interaction and personalized character progression. It would be good that there could be more interaction with other characters, including (at the choice of the player) incestuous relationships (with the sister and/or the mother) but perhaps it is planned for the Continuation of the scenario? I look forward.

Loved it; the characters seem real (for a game and such short interactions) if horny, which is rather expected on a +18 game. It has some of the best 3D art I saw in an indie porn game, good deal of scenes despite being an Alpha 0,13 built at the time of this review, doesn't run you into a wall with sudden "This will come later" message, nor does limit you in choices due to in game restriction that aren't justified by the story. The MC is a blank enough for you to mold to your own preferences, and the personality and level system affecting your possible interactions and choices, at least to me, worked out great. The game is easy to understand, mechanically, and you see the result of your actions in either stats updating or choices and story changing.
Most of the real Mind Control is probably yet to come, but you do get a taste and can try a few things, depending on how you play.

I recommend it if you don't mind actual story progression rather than just dropping the porn in your lap. Even at 0,13 you would had to play several times to take all paths, and you might not want to attempt everything, depending on your interested.

Looking forward to more.
