HTML - Completed - Oh Hyp-no! [v1.0] [AmusingOddity]

the bright side is the grammers were good.
the content was good specially Valentina i fucking love her
my problem was all the gaps in content in the middle of the week, it really made me get the feeling that this is the worst overall game of this creator (i played 3 so far) taking a break before the 4th completed one.
sluttown looks really promising everyone should check that
because all these games were just trial runs for his big project, and before i even play it after reading the story of oh hyp no i believe it will be fucking awesome, just i advice longer videos, and more pics and more choices of where to cum and stuff like that.
but even though its a 2 star review i definitely recommend playing this game before sluttown

Promising potential for an HTML game but there are too many unnecessary transition pages to click through and the progression is far too slow. I found myself spending 10 min working through the game before resorting to just browsing the image folder.
The dev mentions that this is really just a proof-of-concept, so don't expect a fully complete or polished game. There is good potential for the developer's future work, though.

Not really a game, just a kinetic novel of sorts with a TON of pointless fluff in between that does nothing for the continuity of the story.

The writing is decent enough but the days with literally nothing happening/repeated events makes it drag on way longer than it should.

Man, I always love this dude's "games" even when they're as straight forward as this. They have a great sense of pacing for enticement and an awesome selection of images for the scenes. I hope we get a lot more after their practice games.

tl;dr tl;dr "i liked it but it has problems"

tl;dr solid writing hampered by bad grammar/spelling and a whole lot of nothing in between the actually good bits

The Writing Good
The characters are fun to read for the most part, but I wasn't super drawn into the main plot of "hey we're making some fucked up shit huh" at the company. Which is strange because I'm normally all about that shit. Weird.
I'm a real sucker for the whole shy nerd girl trope, and Viola delivers on that and delivers hard. I'd say Valentina seems cartoonish, but I've met people in real life like her. Life imitates art, I guess.

MC seems like a nice guy, but the more time you spend in the game the more you realize he's probably a sociopath. I'm not sure that was intentional, but most hypno games tend to gloss over the whole "warping a person's mind for your own benefit is morally bankrupt" but hey I'm not Immanuel Kant and I don't expect the story to be either. Where was I going with this? Oh yeah the MC is pretty abusive in the later parts of Valentina's story and it kinda feels weird for his character I guess.

The Gameplay Bad
There's none! None gameplay. However there is a lot of skipping through passages. If you don't have the patience to click through the filler to get to the actual meat of the game you're gonna have a rough time. Hell, it's not even filler, something was obviously meant to go there before dev realized that this isn't the kind of game they wanted to make.

Unfortunately, what are essentially placeholders ends up dragging down the rest of the game.

The Text Ugly
Bro I'm telling you, ya gotta get a proofreader.

Now I don't expect any game to be grammatically perfect—very few folks around here are professionals let alone English majors—but this game has such a substantial number of grammatical/spelling errors. Again I get that this is essentially an unpolished test game, but I'm pretty sure I haven't seen a single (non-repeating) passage that didn't have at least two or three grammatical issues. If this is a text-based game then the text has gotta be solid.

Of course I wrote that entire last paragraph right before finishing the game where the dev explains that they have dyslexia. Using a text-based engine to make a text-based game while working around dyslexia? That's ballsy as hell and I can respect that.

Looking forward to what they make next.

really good mind control content without a sissy mc! praise the lord, could use some polishing like a skip time button but overall im excited to see where the dev goes in the future with games like these

It gets two stars for the effort. Unfortunately, it isn't entertaining, nor a game, and it isn't enough story to motivate the slog through the screens.

I admit, I didn't make it through the game. After more than a month of game days, with not very much story progress, my curiosity was not as strong as my frustration with no progress. Am I wrong in my assumption that this is supposed to be a kind of porn game? If so, I apologize, but if that assumptions is correct, this fails completely. It does succeed as a troll for someone looking for a porn game, so maybe that's the purpose.

When a player clicks on the screen, the next screen should have some progress to the story before he clicks again. If one must click 5 or more times for any story progress, then it is a grind, and if there are no stats or items to build, then it is a useless grind only designed to hide a lack of actual content. This is the equivalent of a very big box used to ship a very small item. It is misleading and impractical. The only thing such a grind builds is player frustration.

I'd like to be able to say it was an innovative plot, but I can't because there was so much filler around the story that I lost comprehension, and as I admitted, it was unfinished. Maybe it was compelling much farther in, but I won't ever know as I won't have the patience to get that far.

Good luck to anyone that does!!
