yeah but only 1 scene and u have to do everything right to get it
Well, if my memory serves correctly, you get one nude cg from each of the girls in the robo path, but there are scenes, such as when you go down nozomis talk about hypnotism route. Still, I would agree it's far more limited than I'd want.

There were a few discreetly implied scenes? But the characters never flatly confirm it, and furthermore based on the ending outline in one of the endings he mentions how he's getting closer to nozomi but says he'll only put a fade to black and not a sex scene.

He also admits in the patreon that there's nothing that would be over a pegi 16 or M rating in his game, meaning sex scenes are a no.
Dammit. I had high hopes to finaly find a new mc dominant mind fuckery game.

That's humiliation? I was expecting something like him making the girls strip in front of the class or similar.
ah i may have misread subbing or something. i was a bit out of it these days.
humiliation is used on the girls as they undress to their underwear to walk around in some scenes or get totaly naked.

And you can't avoid doing that to them then? That's a shame.

The game does actually put some value on 'consent' - though MC is pretty good at self-deceit regarding that. There isn't really something I'd describe as being deliberately about humiliation outside of the specific villainous paths. Though there are some scenes where the character accidentally overdo the hypnosis that can have awkward results.

This is a rare gem for me. I ended up playing it for a good three hours yesterday whenever I downloaded it.
Definitely a more 'hot' experience if you're into hypno stuff, not a direct "Here's a girl, go fuck her." experience if that's what you're looking for.

Tell me just one real reason why this girl on the promo pic so scared??

This dude with lantern able only to babbling endlessly about peanuts or socks colors. He can't scare the emaciated sparrow at he middle of the night.

Wow! Now i'm not sure did 'humiliate' tag is appropriate to this game?

title image is rather "confusion" and doesnt exist in the game as such. its the background of the main menu. the first screenshot she's "under" during a culture festival presentation.

theres some degrading talk involved as they are made aware theyre less than human in front of the player character when he does it. Is that not enough? also, there are (planned as of yet) paths where theyre made into inanimate human dolls. a villain chain of events exists where the sporty one is made to believe being a robot with a fork in the same event turning her into a literal sleeper agent.

The girls are adorable and the story is great, but the nude models are really bad. Hopefully something gets done with them eventually, but other than that I love it.

its somewhat getting on my nerves and ticking me off that the paths the you take that are not romance and consensual all end in bad gameovers, like wtf? there is like only one way to play and its just romance option?

edit: i just saw in another path the mc lets his penlight get destroyed by the girls bcs its too powerful? like wtf how wimpy can he be? that thing is one of a kind and could make him a millionaire who in their right mind would let it be destoryed instead of having a gild like him?
Because this isn't an outright porn fantasy game. It's an adult visual novel, and it's a story about the fantastical dangers of non-consensual hypnosis and brainwashing and the dangers of assumptions and a lack of communication between hypno doms and subs in stark opposition to the enjoyment found in safe and consensual erotic hypnosis activities. That's the lesson of the story for this game. I wouldn't expect any good ends for the evil routes in this game, at least not anytime soon.

hmm does the game not have any 18+ scenes?
Correct. Iirc, basic nudity is the most risque any of the routes get. No sex or anything like that. I have no idea if any are planned or not, though.

When I try to run the game I get the following message:

Could not execute C:\...\Penlight-O.1524.2-pc\lib\windows-i686\Penlight.exe. Is it missing?
Penlight.exe doesn't exist in that folder, and trying to copy paste Penlight.exe from the main folder into said folder doesn't work either.

Couldn't find a fix for this issue but downloaded the one linked here and it works fine. Linking this in case anyone has the same issue.

I was going to summarize my thoughts on the game but I ended up saying a lot, spoilers ahead:
I really don't understand the point of this game, the whole game theme is about showing us that mind control would be bad and dangerous in a realistic scenario, but the thing is that that is really a common sense to be honest, I would say it is almost like a critic on the mind control kink as I don't see the necessity of dedicating a entire game just to explain such a basic notion. I don't think realism is necessarily bad but it seems as the game was built in order to try and shock you to prove that mind control in reality is bad, so the moment you realize the whole story is focused in doing that you can only find yourself expecting when will the protagonist screw up next? or when will the girls discover everything and raid his house and subdue him into destroying his penlight.
Another thing I don't understand about the game is the protagonist, the story tries to be grounded in a realistic scenario and the girls will usually have realistic personalities, but the protagonist usually doesn't seem like a real person, he is almost comically dumb when he needs to be but also a normal capable person, it is almost like he is not a real characther but only a plot device for the story to happen, I played the whole game so far and I haven't seen any real quality to give him as a characther, most of his problems would be solved if he was just a little bit more thoughtful or if he was more resolved as a person to either accept his own flaws or to try to improve, but it is difficult to even fell anything about the story when most problems could easily be avoided, making the tension of the story really feels artificial a lot of times.
On the topic of the 3 main girls, what I don't understand about them is that in contrast with the protagonist they don't seem to face any repercurssion for their behaviour or flaws, even when they are being extraordinarily and nonsensically despicable it is all ok, because we can always blaim it all on the protagonist, even when he was just trying to help them, I think the story could be better if the girls also had more meaninful and impactful flaws in their charactherization, as good tension could come up from the conflict of their different views of the world, as it is right now the conflict of all routes is pretty much, the protagonist is this really bad and evil and creepy guy and the girls are Mary sues that can do no wrong, so even when the protagonist is just trying to help and is respecting their boundaries he still is sometimes treated really badly.
To finish the game is not all bad it does have its moments, and it is far from finished so there is a lot of potential to explore, I think the dev should just calm down a little with this obsession to state how non-consensual is bad and try to write a story less black and white since it takes on morality, and maybe develop any good quality in the protagonist as he is in a great need of some;

Number 1: this game is so lacking in H-Scene content. I am not looking for a fap game, as such, but with mind control, I at least expected some H-Scenes between the MC and one or more of the three main girls. 2: the flow charts are so small and difficult to see or understand. Because of those 2 aspects, I will not be playing this game in the future.
