HTML - Completed - My Demon Friend [v1.2a] [Aviary]

HTML game where you get possessed by a succubus
I didn't play the male protag, can't comment
Female protagonist general involves taking cum to stave off hunger and corrupting or romancing side characters.

Has a route where a friend makes you his sex slave which was a thumbs up from me. With regards to the routes, there's very little signalling what the content entails and there's no way (as far as I know to jump routes or undo actions) which was a annoying.

I found it decent enough, there's not a ton of female protagonist games where you are corrupted by another and they don't involve cheating or M2F so any additions are welcome.

Sorry, but for a game that's been out over 3 years it's still pretty bad.
Few updates
Needs proofread
Story doesn't make sense and is confusing.
Just bad.....

Your parents died when you were young so you went to live w your mom's friend. So she suddenly turns into your stepmom. She adopts a girl who is suddenly your stepsister. I think the stepsister was supposed to be sweet and innocent though she's covered in tattoos.

The story doesn't make much sense including a demon who needs your cum but makes it to where you can't by shrinking your cock... and so on...

I don't know....it's pretty confusing how it's written and again, a lot of things don't make sense. Especially for a 3 year old game....

The story has been done over and over before so you might want to look elsewhere for one to play.

Good concept. Well implemented. Nice to see a story actually being finished.
Pacing is Ok, but sometimes feels like a chore due to repeated actions (Leave bedroom, go downstairs, leave house - every single day).

Side stories seem to be so and so. Mostly empty and together with the short ramp up and fast progressions they are less gripping than the main story.

I have a soft spot for this game, as I feel it has so much charm and potential. I enjoy the concept and I love the choices of porn stars for the in game characters. However, the game almost feels kinetic at times. If you want to see content, you have to corrupt the girls. If you want to advance their storylines, you have to corrupt and slutify them. Which, in turn, leads to NTR.

And don't even get me started on the female MC path, which is 100% kinetic. You're constantly used and abused. If you don't bang a dude in the prologue, you're (g)raped in your sleep off-screen. Your best, male friend suddenly turns into a POS and uses you as a powerless sextoy, despite you supposedly also having power. Blah.

Charming, homey game, but needs actual freedom of choice to save it.

Low 3 stars for now.

Review is for V1.0
A really good idea, that is poorly executed.
The characters and story are all great, but the events end up being really dificult to keep track of, and if you miss them, you then have to grind out a whole other week to try again. This combined with always running out of energy earlier in the day and most events being late at night cause for some serious frustration. In addition to all that, you are going to be doing a significant amount of just waiting around in game to see if there is something to do (but most likely not, you just wasted your time)
All in all, this needs some serious QOL changes, but has some pretty good potential.

Don't play until AT LEAST v1.0 becuase there is not only zero content but Dev doesn't know how to design a game. You have 5 different stats to watch and each one effects the others negatively. It's a forced TF game which isn't mentioned anywhere until it happens so if you wanna try and grind for a particular outcome, you lose. "Hint" system is a complete mess and there is redudant buttons and information that explains nothing at all. You miss out completely on certain content if you don't have materials or make certain choices which, again, isn't explained anywhere. Some girls get hints that are obvious, some get none at all. It's an hourly game, but only describes when events happen in Day/Night so you have to "skip time" slowly to figure oue when things trigger.

Lots of potential, but current state is absolute trash. Wait or ignore because there is unavoidable situations that the dev does not mention or tag.

Great story, good character cast, less of bugs. Best wish to the Author and hope this game will be finished soon. Suggest to add "Skip time 1h" button in sidebar without opening new window and make more content for main characters - family

I'm impressed
A game about corruption where you actually have to be careful with energy and corruption management, not only that but you can actually choose not to corrupt some and still get something. Sure at a much slower phase but at least you get a girl, not a slut.
While i've only played the male mc, i'm really impressed, the choice you make with your step-mom most of all, made me remind of Love and Vice. Wish we had the same option with the step-sister, but hey, great work so far.

This would be somewhere around 2 stars, maybe even 3 with a lot of good will, but saying that this game has an emphasis on player choice is a blatant lie, especially in regards to the female protagonist route. It has all the things:

forced relationship, forced sex with male characters no matter what (despite it making no sense), generally speaking little to no control over anything.

Both routes have a weird mechanic were the character just follows a routine you do not set up, which completely artificially delays progress on the routes one tries to follow (though, really, you are mostly forced into a lot of shit you either dislike or at least do not care about at all) though somehow the Dev still found a way to make the game very confusing and finding the triggers to actually progress quite hard.

As you maybe can imagine at this point nothing is really intuitive about those either.

I have no idea why the Dev claims that this is a text based rpg of sorts, with an emphasize on player choice, when it is more or less a strictly kinetic novel that just also happens to not progress organically, so you can just repeat the same routine over and over (basically) without the game really moving forward.
It's as if Fenoxo would claim Trials in Tainted Space was a 3-dimensional exploration game with an emphasize on animations.

The writing itself is mediocre, the Dev is active in the discussion, so that speaks for them, certainly, but sadly that's hardly a reason to give this game a better rating.

Its an interesting concept on the game storyline...
having different path and choices sounds good and interesting based on the MC , but maybe needs a better Hint/Help tools around to give you a remember/warning or explanation of what your choices could lead....

The only point neggative i should point its the Hint at character progress line, since it doesnt provide you much usefull information, so its kinda hard follow a chain events of a character at once.

Having a Schedule set up at your daily routine its good, but you cant acces it, you have to remember it to trigger some events, maybe some help with it at phone lend us a hand since if we dont remember it have to play for a while to get used to.

Some locations have time trigger activation who you should guess, isnt a propper way to indicate it to you. so it could be fixed or improved i hope.

The cast of the caracters its really good, also the profile on chracter sheet its well made, also their scenes/videos/pictures have a decent quality and it make the game really enjoyable, i hope to see more of it coming soon and that would be my review after my 1st time playing it, i like and wanna see it more, also i leave here all my suggestions to help the developer to improve it.

I apologize for dont have money to support but go ahead and surprise us with more please .. thanks for share your proyect here

Should be tagged kinetic novel with how ass the none choices are. This "game" is a straight line from start to finish which makes it incredibly mind numbingly boring. I really do think I got dumber playing this.

The game development seems to be going backward, the meme "we are evolving just backwards" describes this game perfectly. I have followed this game since release and was even a Patreon for few months because I thought it had a lot of potential and was worth seeing through until the end but haven't seen any new content in a year? if anything the creator has removed a lot of content since early versions, while the game indeed received some upgrades but at most, they are just sounds and a little better interface but he kept removing content with every new update and as of now there is maybe 1/3 of original content with 500mb of sounds XD? Good idea, bad execution, will check the game again in a year and see if I need to change the review, as of now not that good, very grindy with no reward/the walkthrough is behind a paywall when some events for new players are almost impossible to trigger since they happen at specific times on specific date in a specific place that you get no hints and only told in the walkthrough that you receive in Patreon

This game is well written, has good actress picks, plus the gifs and sounds are well done. Easily one of the best HTML games out there currently without a doubt. Overall a very polished product, and absolutely worth playing and supporting on Patron.

Though I loved the concept of corruption via demonic possession, the lack of player control on even the non-possessed scenes hurts players agency far too much for my liking. The writing could use more development, the narrative is too quick and uninteresting and it leaves to the images and assets of random pornographic shots which aren't too appealing for the game.

The writing isn't very good. Mostly just one-liners with characters not reacting very comprehensible.
For example in the intro: You and your crush seem to be prude. He asks you for a blowjob with another guy in the room. This guy ends up fucking you.
The teachers seem to be 24-27 years old and all male pictures show 30 year old men, but their characters are 19 or 48 years old.
The huge text boxes for the dialogue feels like clutter and making it tedious to read.

Despite this game seems to be somewhat polished, I can't like its content.

Pros:
-Excellent writing and lively characters
-Good selection of gifs and images
Cons:
-The concept of 'each day is unique' is not working well, and add more linearity to the story than needed. It's not unique, it's scheduled - on Monday you visit the library, on Thursday your friend, wanna see the librarian again? Next week bud.
-Parameters like Energy and Lust don't seem to be very meaningful, and as there is no way to restore energy other than sleeping (I guess?), sometimes you miss late evening events and have to wait the next week to trigger it again.

Also, it's actually 2 games in 1, as different genders have different stories and progression system! I played first as a male avoiding transformation, and it felt lacking. My second run was with a female, and oh boy that was much more fun - but maybe that's just covered my kinks better.
Overall, the quality of the game wins over its issues, and the story is more or less entertaining. There is some grind, and some bugs, and system flaws, but there are many enjoyable moments.

The play dynamics and idea seem to be quite novel. I like the progression part of the game where you can slowly level up your traits and skills on order to progress further. In the genre of HTML games this definitely one of the gems out there. I hope the OP will find motivation and strength to finish it.

Good writing, decent amount of content, for most of the characters its pretty obvious what you need to do for them except the main family which is a lot of checking on them every hour until an event pops up. Also the M2F is optional and easily avoided which I appreciated.
