HTML - Abandoned - Playing Judas [v0.7] [MissFortune]

Version: 0.7

If you're thinking to try this out due to it being "v0.7" even though it is abandoned, don't. This is just erotica. Literally. This should have been posted on something like literotica, not here as a "game". You want to know what all you can do in this "game"? You can choose 1 path, and if you try to choose anything else, you'll get a message telling you that the creator will "work on this after they are done with the dark path".

And, my fucking god, "the dark path". It's... okay, if you're into rape erotica I suppose, but you need to have a very active imagination to fll the endless plot holes. However, I'd be very surprised if you don't pull your hair out due to being given options that you can't even use. For fucks sake, it even has text that leads to those options that you can't pick. It's endlessly frustrating.

tl;dr: hobbes_maxwell was onto something with his 1 star rating back then. The 1 star can be exused for the okay-ish rape erotica it has, but I'd give it 0 if I could. If you want to read an extreme porn story, this is for you. If you want to play a game, skip this.

Where to start.. from the good or bad?

The bad:
The game makes you feel like an idiot because of a few comments in-game (sh#t talk the player).
The gifs are small resolution and grainy and there aren't alot of them
for a 0.5 it doesn't really have a lot of content to offer, tbh.
Way too much text vs gif/pic ratio for my taste (it's basically a text game with occasional low quality grainy gif).
Major plot holes in the storyline.
Unrealistic main character.

The good:
Good looking main character.
Dark brooding atmosphere.

So yeah, 2 out of 5, and I really struggled to find a reason for the second star. So many things to improve.

The scenes in place are well written, at least compared to what you usually find in games like this, if you enjoy very non consensual things. The gifs used could be better, but perhaps they struggled to find more.

The biggest issue is that, right now at least, the game keeps teasing you with options that aren't crossed out or even red to let you know that, hey, they don't exist yet. I have no bigger pet-peeve than "choose your own adventure" games that...you know...don't let you do that. Especially when they continually show you the options. Just make it clear they aren't available b e f o r e the player chooses. Nothing kills arousal faster than being in the moment, then suddenly "Sorry, nothing here right now~<33"

This is just an amateurish rape fic right now, certainly now a CYOA.

Pretty dark novel-style game. At the moment there seems to be only one route and almost all choices besides this storyline, lead to dead ends. There is too much text and only a limited amount of grainy images for the actual scenes. Personally I don't like the level of violence and abuse. You can see that there is some thought put into the story, but it is just to harsh and depressing for my taste and I do like me a good and dark corruption game. But to actually appreciate the fall into "the rabbithole" you need be above ground and relate to the MC, before all comes crashing down and this is just - falling?!

2.5*

Initially there were major plot holes in the story, I mean it's an 18+ game, who care right? But even porn need a fairly realistic fantasy.

The game dev fixed it and the writing continued to be fantastic (in term of sex scenes), I love how dark this story it. The dev put enough effort to make the text animated and color coded. The porn gif matched the scene fairly well, it doesn't take me away from the immersion at least.

The choices you make are important, but it doesn't quite make it satisfying, because it's pretty obvious which route you're on by your choices. It's not rocket science, lack that "oh wow I wonder what happen if I do this" feeling.

The story that follow your choice is great though, each of your choices branch you to a whole new different route. If you submit, you see a loving side to your brother, if you don't submit and fight against your brother you ended up being treated like a human commodity.

As you go to that route of being a commodity or as a loving slave to your brother, you have more choices to submit as a commodity or continue to fight furthering the violence. While being a slave can mean you dwell further into being a complete whore. This game heavily focus on dark fantasy.

The bad review by Hobbes seems to stem from the anger that the dev has an edgy sense of humor and offended him, to each of their own, but it shouldn't reflect on the quality of the game in my opinion.

Hobbes also pointed out saying this shouldn't claim itself as a game, which I don't understand why not. Visual novel is counted as a game, why can't this be one?

Didn't want to write a review per se, but Hobbes' bias tanked this game score, so I figure I should say my piece.

half -baked, unfinished, and shit talks the player. hard pass. also, apperently i cant leave a reviw that is less than 200 characters, since we apperently need a novel to say "this porn game isn't finished, so it's tags are wrong." or " game requires gameplay, not just hot-clicking through your porn novel. if you want to write porn, go for it. just don't claim its a game." good enough?

It's obviously still pretty early in development, but what's there is quite enjoyable and very interesting. I can't wait to see where this one goes. The number of possible outcomes is pretty ambitious.

I really liked the story and the writing so far. Also the choices.
The way the pictures are used is also very nice!

There are just a few suggestions that I would like to make:
-We being able to give a name to our character

-SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED YET.
