    Moving Down [Ch.3 Part 1] [MironY]

    I have to say, I was seriously disappointed by "Moving Down." It's not often that I come across a game that left me feeling this frustrated and unsatisfied. From the moment I started playing, I could tell it was going to be a rough ride, and boy, was I right.

    Let's start with the main character. What a train wreck. Seriously, it's one thing to have a flawed protagonist, but this guy took self-sabotage to a whole new level. I found myself constantly shaking my head at his mind-bogglingly irrational decisions. I mean, come on, we're talking about basic life choices here, not rocket science. It got to the point where I couldn't muster an ounce of empathy for him. His unwavering commitment to that toxic relationship with his wife had me rolling my eyes more times than I can count.

    Speaking of his wife, her transformation was just plain jarring. She went from being this seemingly supportive and intelligent partner to a sadistic monster, and the game tried to pass it off as some kind of Stockholm syndrome. It felt forced and completely unconvincing, like a poorly executed plot twist in a low-budget thriller.

    My emotions while playing this game were all over the place, but not in a good way. I swung between frustration at the character's sheer stupidity and a strange desire for him to break free from his misery. But let me be clear, that desire came from annoyance, not genuine concern.

    And don't even get me started on the game's world. It was filled with malicious predators that left me wondering what the heck the writer was thinking. Was this supposed to be a deep commentary on the harsh realities of life, or was it just a cynical and pessimistic take on human relationships? I couldn't tell, and by the time I was hoping for some answers, I realized this game wasn't in the business of offering satisfying conclusions.

    Oh, and Deborah, one of the characters, was an absolute low point. Her actions were despicable, and her appearance felt like a caricature taken to the extreme. It was as if the game was trying way too hard to make her repulsive.

    The only silver lining in this whole ordeal was the smooth jazz music in the office scenes. It was like a tiny glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak and agonizing experience.

    In the end, "Moving Down" is a game that's sure to divide players. It might appeal to those who enjoy wallowing in the darkest aspects of human nature, but for me, it was a game that left me questioning my life choices, wondering why I had subjected myself to such a frustrating and unsatisfying ordeal. Save your time and skip this one.

    It was good at first, but then it got better. Great character development for a porn game.

    The wife face is strange, the eyes are too separated and wierdly shaped. Nevertheless, she is still atractive. The character models in general are unique and hot.

    The domination is very well done, progressing into hardcore femdom, just as I like it.

    Now, I want to write some things I personally would love to see in the game:
    I'd like more lezdom. In particular seeing the redheaded friend dominating the MC (the wife). Like demanding service for introducing her and her husband to the business, or just having desire to own her friend. I know the MC is a dominatrix, but being submissive to Deborah would be hot in my opinion.
    More Ntr scenes would be gladly welcome (by female or male), with humilliation included. Cheating the husband while boudmouthing him and being turned on by it. More pegging, pissing and scat would be great also.
    The game is wonderful if you like femdom, it has it gentle and with love (mostly at first) and it has it hardcore.
    I'd like more cruelty from the wife to his husband and starting to get turned on by being cruel to him. Like for example fucking his husband ex bully (I know there wasn't a husband ex bully introduced yet) and saying how much better he is, how much more successful he is, more rich, more handsome, with a bigger dick, etc. She getting turned on by the bully telling her how he beated her husband while both fuck, in secret or/and in front of him, etc.

    This is a great game, with a much better english translation than the previous game. Lot's of content, no grind or click fest and fantastic kinky sex scenes.

    The game itself looks great and if FemDom is your kink then it does it well. My main issue with the game is that it gives a false sense of choice that doesn't really exist, you can choose every non submissive option in the game and are still forced into submissive positions. The game would work just as a kinectic novel since the choices are pretty much meaningless.

    very nice concept, I like it, I hope sex between MMC & MFC does not get lost completly, that would be sad, rather make it very demeaning then leave it out compleatly

    The renders are nice, she is a beauty, the constellation is very modern, and many relationships dissolve because wife earns more then husband. Thus it is even frightening what happens if respect gets lost but this is why fantasy is there. To feel stuff you would not do in real life.

    I think this game is great (chapter 2.2)!

    It should be stated that this is more of a "fantasy hardcore" take on femdom and not your realistic, consensual kind. So if that's not your cup of tea, you might stay away from it.

    That said, personally I really loved how, since this was femdom only, you could actually struggle and weren't automatic on a maledom path like in so many other games of this nature.
    It is getting pretty pushy in terms of what Maria (the wife) demands of her husband, but it's pretty hot how confident she is and how she doesn't give him any choice but "my way or out", especially after she becomes the breadwinner of the family.

    There's a whole cuckolding theme going on with the female boss which is super exciting imo, but that's optional so far.

    Gorgeous graphics, superb choice of models (the innocent looking wife and the boss are just perfect), really delving into more severe forms of humiliation. At first I was sceptical about the changes of perspective throughout the game, but it's actually well done and you don't really feel like you "control" both husband and wife which would be kinda stupid.

    5/5 one of the best smut games I've ever played for sure and definitely the best femdom game so far!

    Just perfect. The author made the right decision and switched to Ren'py. I am pleased with the slow introduction with the disclosure of characters and motivations. Good luck to the author and in no case do not abandon the game.

    Love this concept. Total submission. Love how the female lead takes the reigns and never looks back. With the ground work already laid, there are countless possiblities and further progression that can be done. I'll continue to play and look forward to future updates.

    One of the best femdom games I've played on the site. The visuals aren't the best, but it makes up for it with the story and choices. Can't wait for more. . .
    Keep in mind that this game isn't the BDSM kind of femdom and more of husband humiliaition kind.

    Where to start? I guess the start of the story here we have two high school sweethearts and they love each other great like it. Then we get to find out his wife mom is Fendom mom control freak ok so far. within the first week of the story from what I can tell the MC is a guy that is out of shape does really poorly at his job nearly gets fired for the third time early in the story and its only because of his wife who is friends with his boss who hates you as the MC thinks your a loser in some ways she is right and she also wants to get your wife into the company and if she can have a relationship of some sort with your wife as well she will. She has been friends with your wife since high school as well. following the first week you get some vanilla sex with your wife and it seems you are both happy apart from you doing poorly at your job. You as the husband have always supported your wife dream of being an artist but things arent going well for her with this career path. So overall at this point, you are both failing but love each other and support each other. Next, you go out for dinner with your boss and your wife both you and your wife aren't keen on the idea but go anyway. I can say what happens next in the story isn't a big surprise I know that we need ways for this to become a Fendom game so giving your wife the position way above the MC is understandable and I can see how the boss who seems to like Fendom already influences your wife in this manner. And then the Fendom begins really hits hard and fast now after the first week you are basically a slave to your wife but not totally you also make some really bad choices as the MC borrowing money and getting tricked or being too careless all of which you have no choice in. And I ran both paths where I stood up for myself as the MC and where I submitted to my wife mom and so on. It seems to me both choices have little effect on the story first you stand up for yourself and shit hits the fan and you have to apologise or keep fighting it but I didn't go that way as I wanted to stay with the wife in hopes that yes there will be Fendom but with branches in it so as not to be totally walked on. The second option Submit to your wife's mom also doesn't bod well as you seem to get walked over by the mom and your wife both turning on you. Now later it seems you get to a point where she really doesn't care about you and she dreams of making you suffer not as a man but as a slave. You do see another path not implemented yet where you leave. I have left out some things like one of the co-works a woman having feelings for you and at this point, you cheat on your wife and have sex with her no choice given but it is part of the story so I get that. A lady at the park or gym depending on your choices offers a BJ I said no as I didn't want to cheat on my wife and as the wife choices I also chose not to cheat on the MC with the boss. This part is just before the office lady. Also, the borrowing money submit to the loan shark or not both ways seem to be the same at this point. So for me, I feel that the wife should have two paths one where she is loving but the wife is dominant but still shows some mercy to you as the MC but with all the fetishes optional. I for one would most likely check out most of them I like the tags here. And second which seems to be the only path really that you are a slave with no choices. Or break up which as I said isn't implemented yet But for me, I want to play the story with the wife. The renders are pretty good with the animations also and it has music which is good for setting the mood even if it is mostly sad jazz which fits because the MC husbands life is going from bad to worse. I really like that it has sex sound effects as well. I think it is a good game but for me, If the loving path with the wife and Fendom won't be an option I don't think I could play the game anymore as to see this guys life go to shit without choices to make it better is just depressing. Even though he does shoot himself in the foot so to speak with bad choices and little to no will or desire to improve himself or stand up for himself when it matters. Here's one of her thoughts if this is the only path I can't see myself playing if the other option is there I might play both just to see how bad it gets. View attachment 1608332

    My reflections:

    *Good character building between MC and wife.
    *A lot of the events (i.e. sex-events) have actual buildup and feelings for the character. Scenes means something and are not just there to showcast a certain fetish. I really like that.
    *Theres quite an array of choices here for the MC even though time will tell how much they that will matter in the long run.
    *Story is interesting but can also be viewed as a bit of linear (we can see the the endpoint). A little wish for further updates is some curveballs could be thrown in. With that I dont mean a change from femdom to maledom or even vanilla but maybe some things could happen a long the way. Another girl he meets could be thrown in who seems really nice but sells out the MC, girlfriend could have second thoughts about her behavior but still go through with, etc. Basically dont get the characters stale. Just some simple reflections from me=)

    Bottom line - theres not a huge amount of great femdom games around. This has potential to be a real gem and at least my grade could finish upwards in the next upgrade. Thums up for a good start !

    This review is up to Chapter 2, Part 1 - A "slave" of mine got it and presented it to me, so I tried it. I of course won't ever leak a game early on the site being a dev myself, but I think this should be out soon on here.

    I don't really like playing a fatter male very much, (I understand the guys won't care about this, but it matters for me a lot ) but it makes perfect sense in crafting the narrative. He's kind of a "loser" and it works super well. I also think the Maria model is gorgeous and I absolutely can imagine myself as her while playing due to similar looks, and especially some mental thoughts. (more on that below)

    I kind of like the idea of a developing "relationship" of dominance/slavery and I particular like a few aspects of the game hinted at: 1) the intoxication of having power (this is a gigantic turn on for me) and 2) over time turning "love" into something else entirely with a man. I feel like a player will be able to develop a very cruel and sadistic Maria, so that is interesting to me.

    The characters are good, I think I got stuck on the "dom" path a little more than the pure sub path so I have probably missed a good scene or two.

    And regarding thoughts, I feel like one scene (not going to spoil in a review) which isn't super long and near the end somehow almost perfectly captured some of my own thoughts while enjoying myself. The only minor thing I would have added is a shot of his sad face (what she is imagining too in her mind) during...that. So well done on that one!

    This is an interesting and well-structured game, and I will certainly keep an eye on its future development. For most of the story, the pacing is very well done, and you end up really caring for the characters, which for me is a big plus!

    But perhaps because of that -- the sudden change in the last few pages makes it seem a bit surprising. I am into some quite extreme femdom, but I saw myself making the choices that would slow things down from about 2/3 of the way on, just because I wanted things to go more smoothly for the two main characters.

    Don't get me wrong -- I realize that a lot of effort was put into pacing and gradual change. It's more like some kinks (heh heh) have to be ironed out. Deborah hits on Maria a little too quickly, and even though Maria can refuse, it makes Deborah come out as a little bit of a mustache-twirling villain -- when in fact I thought she also had an interesting inner life worth exploring. Also, Maria upgraded things from "oh I'm worried what he'll think after looking at my laptop" to "I want to feel your remorse!" and "I'm not ready to forgive you yet, so I'm going to this spa!"... I could see at least a couple of intermediate steps between these two, and I think it would increase the realism of the situation if such steps were taken more gradually. (It is refreshing, though, to see the old "they've found my porn!" trope gender-swapped.)

    The relationship between the two MCs is also so well developed at first that you cannot but care for both of them. Yet the game seems to be dropping hints that Maria might stop loving him at some point... and precisely because of the good development of their relationship, that somehow creates a turn-off. I would like to know that she actually cares about him as much as he obviously does about her... but I'm wondering if the direction we're going this is eventually no longer going to be the case. Having myself had bad relationships, and not only on the romantic plane, that hits a little too close to home. It's a bit hard to see a guy who supported his wife in all her endeavors -- artistic and otherwise -- have this fact be so quickly forgotten, together with how mean her mother had been to him, and in fact to everybody else (judging by Maria's reaction during their first meeting with her mother). Maybe I'm just being a stickler for honesty, but if Maria is just trying to explore her kinks and satisfy her husband's, then we should have a scene in which they talk about it. It is difficult to believe that someone as thoughtful as Maria wouldn't think, not even once, of simply having an honest conversation with her husband about his and her kinks. Her making such bold assumptions -- "I have to take care of every aspect of his life" sounds implausible after the slow-paced beginning and middle. Like that, Maria ends up -- after quite some character-building that made her look like a more well-rounded person -- being another mustache-twirling villain, her personal depth diminished.

    That's the main point, I guess. Maria is being quite selfish when she proposes to John that he basically become her servant, which goes against the kind of character she had been up to that point. The lack of one single honest discussion between them makes this very hard to believe (especially when the discussion about the laptop video in the beginning made it clear that they could talk about such things), which makes her character less plausible and more like fantasy fulfillment. Maria deserves better than that, I think. And so does John.

    But then again, let's wait and see. So far, the game has been quite creative and well-written, and I can't wait for more chapters!

    I've played it all: very good job in pretty much all departments: narrative, art, choices, tempo, characters, setting.. it was so fun to play that the "fast forward" at the end was almost disappointing :).
    I hope the plan is to develop the game\story with a lot of additional content (even add some scene inside the final cut of this last release), because it seems really worth it.

    Aseratrix

    A beautifully made game. The renders are beautiful, the music is varied and fitted to the scenes adding an exquisite emotional layer to the story.

    Speaking of the story, it is also carefully built up with a logical sequence of scenarios which gradually leads towards various outcomes. Playing it through as a submissive, I was amazed not only about how seamlessly the romance flows towards a more and more femdom relationship, but the romance aspects themselves were very well crafted. Anyone who had romance in their lives will recognize some of the chest-stomping, throat-clenching emotions alluded to by some scenes.

    At this stage, Ch1, Part2, the game is everything a femdom lover who is not averse to some gradual buildup, a bit of a "slow-burn" could want. Even if you don't particularly like a slow narrative, this one rewards patience with plenty.

    In fact, I was a little bit disappointed [more like a bitter-sweet confusion], with the very last few pages of the build, precisely because it accelerated some of the would-be story. I was conflicted, because I don't like it when a story is needlessly drawn out, yet in this case I was somewhat mourning the opportunity to further savor the tragedy-laden, well-crafted story-line. This being said, I am excited to see how the relationship escalates further towards the femdom cake which is so far crafted with the gusto of a gourmand chef!

    Two major flaws, common to almost every femdom themed game, exist here. The male MC is incompetent to the point of mental retardation, and all female bosses are criminal sexual harassers/abusers. This is better writing than most Femdom games/VNs, with fewer narrative absurdities for the sake of a fetish. Still, it's unclear to me why gender swapping a bimbo simulator makes a game good.

    Miron really is one of the best developers of femdom content. His unique, realistic style is amazing. I'm really drawn into the atmosphere of the story. His characters are realistic and their immersion into domination or slavery is in an evolutionary way. It's not just actions, but also thoughts and emotions. It's really very realistic, like a good drama rather than the usual porn.

    Still in Demo but it looks quite promising, the graphics are good, the writing is not bad though but I believe things will improve. The game seem to hold much potential like the previous one Vicious Circle, which I really enjoyed pretty much. The character seem fine but I'd like if the game introduces more characters in further updates
