Ren'Py - Completed - Moving Down [Final] [Miron HFG]

I have to say I dropped the game at or close after chapter 3.

Deborah and Helga were just so despicable to me and killed the whole thing.
Not sure if the creator(s) intended to showcase that people with that kinda mindset actually (are allowed to) exist, or if there is a grudge (from the author) towards men in general. Not speaking of BDSM and femdom in general but treating people outside of privacy like garbage.
I know people that went down that (or almost) deep and tossed away their lives.
The city is no way close to be a real thing (or at least I hope it isn't somewhere).
But character traits that develop like Maria are definitely a thing, and there has to be a certain professionality from the influencer in order to not go insane like it has been in this game.

Not sure if decisions can influence/change/alter the romance between Deborah and Maria, but I honestly regret giving her “access” to Maria.

The turnaround on the story and that the entire city is run with that shady shit actually made me feel sick. I feel sorry for what happens to the dude, yet some decisions were dumb which me personally wouldn't have made, but you had no chance. I think it was unavoidable to end up like this.

Sidenote: Deborah identifies herself as a dominatrix, which isn't the case. There is a difference between dominatrix and femdom.

Technical opinion:
Music is aight, although it didn't fit some scenes at all.

Animations could've been done better for a game that “large”.

Sounds are a complete letdown. Moaning is always the same sound (or at least sounds to me like it is). When you don't want to hire voice actors or do recordings yourself, just take what's on the internet. But there is definitely better stuff than these sounds.

I feel like this game is supposed to catch people that have a grudge on men and want to live out what they can't do in real life. A line has certainly been crossed that shouldn't have been.

The only thing it did to me is feel more upset about how the worklife nowadays gets ruled by connections and heritage.

Ive probably played over a hundred games on here and this is probably in my top 10. at least in terms of how hot it was. ive played a lot of super well written games that arent close to as hot as this, but this strikes a stellar balance between engaging and enticing lol not me writing like this is for the New York Times

one of the most fun and EROTIC femdom games I have ever played, I enjoyed seeing how the wife changes and the husband and how the story goes and how can you change it a little bit with out losing the core experience

This is maybe the most interesting game I've ever reviewed.

Disclaimer: I enjoy femdom, I enjoy certain extreme kinks if the context/story is right. I believe a femdom relationship, while able to have uncomfortable and even brutal moments, is still at heart based on love between two people.

Pros:
-Its a finished game. In a world where every game is either abandoned, or on hold, or you doubt it'll ever actually finish...this game is a finished story.
-The story takes its time and is a slow burn at the start; builds anticipation well.
-No minigames, just story and action scenes. The scenes were all fine to me.
-The first 2-3 chapters were awesome
-The usage of multiple different aspects to femdom, including some more extreme ones, even if I'm not a personal fan of some.
-Having multiple endings...but(continued)

Cons:
-(continued)...specific endings can be hard to understand how to reach (I struggled on what choices make the wife good/bad)
-the players loses control of actual decisions almost immediately; Players being able to control what fetishes they want to see is awesome and there mostly, but you have no control of the story, and that's a problem...
-it is hard to be a passenger and not intervene on some of the stupider decisions. It's more frustrating due to the MC being a legendary idiot
-(biggest con by a mile) the wife is a complete psychopath too quickly, and is cajoled into it by two rough characters...
-...the mother character is hard to take seriously, she doesn't seem human. the best friend/boss is fine, but the wife becomes essentially a copy of her over night, despite being a completely different person at the start.

The first 2-3 chapters are the femdom game genre at it's peak. A woman discovering her dominant side, and a (sadly slow-minded, because otherwise this doesn't work) man who plays along in service of being loyal. This is my kind of story. A wife discovering dominance and a relucant husband resisting it, but eventually choosing to go with it for love. If you play this part, then bypass your way to the final 20-30 frames of the good ending, the story can be satisfying.

The problems start in the later chapters. They're extreme, and I'm not talking about the kinks either. The wife becomes monstrous insanely fast, and never has any qualities of redemption after. That's makes it hard to stomach. The game goes from an erotic femdom love story to something unerotic, hard to watch, and one the player can't control. At some point, it stopped being a porn game, and became a prayer by me that there would be redemption for any character at all...

I've seen the story-writing get knocked in other reviews, but I have to commend it.


There's warnings all over that this is extreme. I simply thought that meant the fetishes, not the story beats.

I'd love a remake of Moving Down that makes the wife's turn more controllable / gradual / believable.

As said above, femdom relationships to me are at a core still built on love; which makes anything that happens after the beginning hard to believe/stomach/enjoy. Some (2) of the endings are good though, at least for my part.

All that said, the components of this game make it arguably the best of the femdom genre that I've seen thus far, and with the same art, style, animations, and more control of the story, it would be the best. I just wish the wife had more options than completely unhinged evil surrounded by evil influence, because

Story: 5/5

The story is in no way realistic, but it does not aim for realism. The game knows what it is and it does it well. The "moving down" process is really well paced in my opinion. You have a pathetic MC plus a wife who slowly discovers how much she likes making men suffer and our MC gets a taste of that process every step of the way.

Characters: 5/5

Wife is the star of the show, but she gets surrounded with bunch of other interesting femdom girls. Other characters have no depth at all, but they don't need it. Every single one of them is there to represent an archetype of a femdom personality and they do it well. (Some of them do have depth, but you would need to play other games from the author to udnerstand it.)

MC: 3/5

Archetype of a failure. He is there for you to watch him get abused and jerk off to it. He has a simple job and he does it.

Sex scenes: 5/5

Might be too much for some people, but I found them excellent.

Branching: *

No rating. I would give a good rating if a game handles branches really well and if they are meaningful. Low rating if the branches make no sense or are forgotten about. This game branches only at the very end, other than that, your choices affect only the outcome of a scene. For me, branching is almost non existent so it should not have an effect on the final score.

Gameplay: 5/5

Very simpmle Ren'Py VN with nothing complicated to distract the player. The game has no ambition to be enjoyed because of the gameplay. It is meant to be enjoyed for the porn. I give full score because the author uderstands what he wants to make and isn't bothering us with unnecessary sandboxy map navigation and clicking.

Overall: 5/5

Really good for what it is. Good writing of the scenes and enjoyable femdom experience. If you want to successfully jerk off to femdom , don't want a quick wank watching porn and rather have somewhat interactive experience with story progression, this game is for you.

Love that you really went for it in this game as the time progresses like you mentioned in your Developer Notes.
Very pleasurable experience from start to finish, story is intriguing and moving, opening up more and more fetishes.
Awesome looking girls, animations and renders along the story.
Plenty of content to enjoy, very rare to see such a good game.

I found this game to be an overwhelming celebration of femdom. There were parts of it i loved and parts that i hated but ultimately it was an unbelievable rollercoaster ride that ended on a poignant note regardless of which ending you chose. Is there such a thing as too much? That was the question i kept asking myself when i tried to figure out how i would react if i was put in such situations. The art was acceptable at first spurred on by the engaging story flow and only got better. The story itself is S tier and executed in similar fashion. When you consider how pedestrian it begins and how it ends. Its a masterpiece, all be it a tough to swallow completely one

Many game makers are constantly delaying updates, sometimes disappearing, and sometimes renaming themselves to post only demo versions or early versions of new games.
MironY has already completed two games, has never broken an update promise, and always tries to meet the needs of gamers through regular communication.
Even though he makes two games at the same time, he updates them once a month, and I don't think any femdom game makers show this level of integrity.
You may not like the ending of moving down. And I fully understand that point.
But I think he deserves a better reputation, and maybe he should be high enough among all the existing femdom game makers

The game has really good idea and could be really good. The graphics looks a bit bellow average. Some of the renders look good. But the story is really poor. But the most important is it is not arousing at all.

I was a bit hesitant to play with this, I was concerned about the game being too extreme, but after reading the developer's notes I thought I would just avoid the fetishes I am not interested in, and stop playing if it becomes too dark. I also saw multiple very positive reviews about this game, so I decided to give it a shot.

The positives:

• The renders are good, and the female characters are sufficiently attractive.
• The writing is competent. There are some translation/language issues (e.g., overusing the otherwise rare word 'coquettish'), but nothing too distracting.
• I enjoyed the earlier parts of the game, and some of the scenes are quite hot.
• I also got emotionally invested in the game, and was curious how it would play out. I should not have...

The negatives:

• The main character is railroaded into making some absurdly dumb decisions, inevitably leading to his demise.
• The latter half of the game is way, waaay too dark for my taste, and this is not avoidable.

So the game starts with a loving relationship, where both parties realize they enjoy when the wife is more dominant. Okay. I thought they will have a dom/sub relationship, where even if the main character experiences discomfort, he will still get some enjoyment out of it on a deeper level. This is not what happens here. The wife somehow becomes a total psychopath, and decides to enslave his husband and then torture him in every way possible. After mid-game, much of the abuse the main character gets is not even sexual anymore. He gets tortured with cold and hot water, has to stay in uncomfortable positions, not allowed to sleep, not given food, etc. It is quite clear he does not enjoy this kind of treatment anymore and would escape if given the chance. And there is some foreshadowing that he will not survive the ordeals. No thanks, I am not aroused by the thought of being murdered.

I should not have played through this, unfortunately I was curious and got severely disturbed by the end. There should be some options early game to act sensibly and avoid slavery: not taking the loan, and leaving the wife when still possible. Maybe the correct 'play' is to close the game at that point and walk away, so in a sense I was almost as dumb as the main character for seeing this through.

Apparently there is an audience for this stuff, but I am clearly not part of it. Only play this if you enjoy being kicked in the balls.

This review of "Moving Down" reflects my personal view and has no claim to general validity.

Here, a very interesting topic in connection with this so-called "game" has been completely nullified.
My criticism in detail:

- The renders, well these render images are qualitatively on a medium level, especially when "playing" in full screen mode, a lot of things appear a bit washed out and blurry. 5 or 6 years ago something like this would have been okay, but not today.

- The music, while it's nice that the developer has thought of a musical background to his "work of art", it is not particularly appropriate and even annoying in many places.

- The animations are rudimentary at best, but the worst is when the entire image and its content moves during an animation, not just the actors. That immediately makes all the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

- The soundtrack, for the most part, doesn't fit the scene and is also asynchronous, so it could have been left out.

I could have looked the other way about all this, but the most important things that make a good game were completely ignored by the "developer".
I couldn't put myself in the shoes of any of the characters at any time, all actions and decisions are completely illogical and incomprehensible. I had the permanent impression that only complete idiots or psychopaths are to be found in this "game".
The dialogs are shallow and without any depth worth mentioning.
(I don't want to go into details of the characters and their actions/decisions, because that would otherwise go beyond the scope).
There is no suspense ground in the narrative, no unexpected events everything is very monotonous/straightforward and predictable.
The player doesn't get any freedom of choice, you can make a decision here and there, but it's only cosmetic and has no influence on what happens. It would have been desirable to have at least two paths where the player can decide which direction to take, which would have increased the replay value significantly, such as a good and evil side.
Another important point is that the player should be able to decide the ending himself.
For me, a "game" looks different for the reasons mentioned.
The developer could have saved himself the time and effort with RenPy, a comic would have been more appropriate.
I can only advise the "developer" to look for someone for his next project who knows how to apply a good story in dialogue and image in a "game".

Therefore, I can not recommend this "game".

(Another small note, the "game" behaves like in episode 4 the series "Games of Thrones", which runs on TV - an interesting topic successfully broken).

Moving Down is one of the best games in the mentioned Genres I have ever played. Congratulations to the developer for the great artwork and story.

There is one thing, that other players should know:
Please read the Developer Notes on the first page twice!
Think about it and understand the meaning.

You will see scenes in this game with extreme cruelty which are hard to bear.
The developer says "all sorts of humiliation".
There is a ingame warning and you should choose this route carefully.

I for my self was totally happy until Maria decided to send her hubby to this special school. Then the story became fatal.

The various endings are great in a way that your decisions in this game really have various consequences.
Be warned again: Some endings will not make you happy. On the contrary.
This is not fundamentally bad, but surprising and unexpected.

Notice: This review is for the final (complete) version of the game.

It starts out fun and interesting but quickly becomes way over the top. It starts off with a pretty engaging concept for a Femdom game and devolves into scene after scene of brutal, incoherent BDSM. This stems partially from the lack of real choices in the second half of the game and the wife turning into a sociopath. There is very limited explanation for what happens, and each character loses any personality as the story progresses.

There are pros too though. The renders are really good and the first half of the game is very fun, with good sex scenes and choices.

It could have been a very good game if it had a shorter overall length and was a bit more realistic.

This is excellent game. Renders are good. Game play is fantastic and story is awesome. I am rating this one of the best game around. This game capture the attention of the player and he will not left before competing . I am searching for more games like it.

Great start, but boring af to read and play after Chapter 4.
Renders are not so great as well, and most of the girls look like plastic dolls
Shitload of stupid dialogs you couldn't care less about (I love dialogs in porn games if those are good, here those are just bad). No interesting characters to follow whatsoever, and at some point you are just nonstop hitting SKIP button, hoping the game would end

Top quality Femdom game, but u have to love this kind of Femdom it's not on the gentle side.

Story is good, I like having 2 POV both the mistress and slave
picture are functional and there are animations, its not very gorgeous looking game if people care about quality of pics.
Sounds are good too, but there is a problem of repetition of some sound effect.

it's very long game which I like and there are different choices but at the End it kinda becomes more liner, Branching narrative is very hard. overall, it's very good Femdom Game.

One of the best game I had play. Excellent narrative, content and awesome story. I 'm in love with the game and there womans.
I'm new in this (creating games and playing). What program are you using to make this.?

this very cool, ths for this game store and chastity divace. need more game about chasity and strapon. you also need to always have a Russian language and good graphics.I hope there will be more games like this in the future....

Absolutely love this game, kudos to the developer. It's my favourite game, really can't thank the developer enough. Stay blessed always! And yes Maria is my favourite character in this game hope to see more hard femdom scenes with her.

Good start so far but then… it all collapse.. no choice, or choice that wont change anything.
Game is becoming a kinetic novel with hard femdom content that’s all
So if you want a game with choice real impact on you just don’t waist your time.

but can be ok if you just want something that is close to kinetic novel i guess
