Wow for once I'm really at a loss for what this game wants to be. Having gone through the alley of jank HTML games, QSP games, and other engines that hold a structure of some, semi-competent means of visualizing a real-porn tale, this is honestly the first time I've actually found something near unplayable.
Many of the above games either hit it out of the park, or fall flat in just being boring, something more akin to porn with buttons. This game however? Doesn't even do that. And sure, the above as well has their faults, many of those games themselves are prone to breaking at the drop of a dime. But this? Well this game in many ways already has a lot said on it, but what truly prompted me to actually even write a review is just the strange, strange dev choices in tacking on to-be-continued "DLC's" that probably should be part of the main game, patreon codes to access various parts of the game (or even the main game itself), alongside a "cheat" to make everyone start off corrupted which whether intentional or not might as well feel like a scam with awfully designed this game is.
Project Re-education is...a game, maybe, about falling out of favor with your fam and having you and your step/besty/bro get sent to a camp that on paper is supposed to correct your faults. Quite honestly I thought I broke something myself, and/or probably selected the wrong option when interacting with the main game. Namely in consideration that this seems as though it wants to be either a slow or at least medium burn corruption tale where you and your bro need to keep your wits about you in a cloistered no-sex camp before boiling over at some point.
On top of this, the game too wants this corruption-esque plot to boil into the camp itself where everyone should start at a prude level and slowly should start turning things lewder the more you play. On paper.
Unfortunately, there are so many placeholders, text leftovers, and broken sequences that completely fuck up any pacing that this game wants to have. You start off in your small bunk room, your besty-bro's already basically a horndog and within minutes you already have your character being as slooty as he is in allowing anything to happen, whether intentional or not. Same with the camp, it should be a camp that has no-sex yet the first lesson already has most people completely fuckin' through short-events that probably should've been unlocked in the endgame. Which brings me back to the patron cheat to have everyone start off as corrupted. It's completely pointless if the sequence breaking's already riding the system to the ground.
As with said system, you also have a handful of stats too that get affected that are supposed to influence all of what I explained, but with it's horrid sequence breaking there is no way to play this clean, like, actually interacting with the part of the game that wants you to pace yourself as a player. This game feels like it unintentionally cranks the throttle from 0 to 100 when you as a player where supposed to probably engage in some sort of progression that just got completely trashed with how underbaked this all feels.
Which ultimately leads me to just say that everything that happens from the get go feels like placeholders all slamming into each other at the wrong times which all seem to be promising some sorta something that never made it past an alpha build. And somehow the guy's releasing what he terms as DLCs? Which the DLCs in themselves are just more placeholders? What?
And I'll just say this. If this isn't sequence breaking or broken, like, if this is how the game intends to push itself forwards, it definitely feels broken. There is no pacing, there is no logic as to how things evolve to the point they get to. And on top of that the UI as other reviews mention is plastered with chatspeak, bare code/variables serving as stats, on top of the grammar in general being barely serviceable.
I'm surprised honestly, at how atrocious this is. Like, there is no game here, I thought for my playthroughs that maybe I'm playing it wrong as previously stated, and maybe I was supposed to start here, or try this, or no no no. This is actually the first HTML real porn jank game I've played that literally is hiding behind version numbers, so called DLC's, alongside players I guess playing a porn game for the first time propping this up to be far more than what it is. And what that is is literally nothing. And as a cherry on top this guy has the audacity to stamp a patreon-exclusive password per version to even play this garbage. Completely asinine.
1 star, this game actually can be good if it actually makes itself into a game but for the first time in my life I've actually seen the bottom of real porn jank.
Also as a little PS that further reflects why 1 star, for anyone thinking on defending or supporting the guy, well, if you go through the thread there, and look up some of the history of this game there was a phishing link included within the game (alongside the dev's other releases). Uploads, at least in a previous manner had to be edited so as not to have players/downloaders infected. Just some food for thought~.
