HTML - Puppeteering [v1.01a] [batatamorr]

This game has a very weird setup. Looks like the Dev just lost track of the storylines and then said fuck it, let all of them run together.
When you start the game, as the MC, you can stop any sort of NTR, sharing etc. But once it goes into sandbox, the NTR storyline becomes active along with the main story, as if the choice you made before has no effect at all.

It would have been good, if dev maintained the stories and it was not a cluster fck.

If there are multiple videos to a sex scene, there are different people in each one. Your fiancee might be redhead, or blonde, or brunette, short, tall, big or small boobs, tatooed or not...all in the same session. The MC changes appearances just as much. I've not seen a game w this many mismatches before.

Early on, you seem to get a choice to not share your fiancee but a couple days later you are telling her how hot it would be if she slept w your friend.

The free-roam part wasn't too good having very little to do. I was in the early part of things though.

You are told it can take awhile for mental changes to take place however they are mostly instant and without build-up.

I wish there would at least be a few scenes using the same actors. It takes all involvment out otherwise.

I'm sure there are many positives though.... Look at
some of the other reviews. But, while this game is like most others and doesn't stand out too much, the story is far from the worst.

One of my favorites. A well-told story and a favorable evolution that is allowing for multiple interesting stories.
Furthermore, the chosen scenes are very well used.
Please continue developing this game!

This game had some interesting premise and a very nice way to present NTR prior to 1.0.
Now for some reason, the game has removed every mention of NTR, and the only thing you can do is have sex with, drum roll... Your wife. Possibly the most boring premise an adult game can have.

Now the game is well written (not badly written anyway), it's not buggy or anything, so that's why I'm not giving it one star. It's just very plain and boring now.

The game uses real porn animations, so you know what to expect: characters will change their appearance from one scene to the next.

It features strange mechanics: it starts as a visual novel with a couple of choices, and then turns into a repetitive "sandbox" mode with way less content than the intro. It feels like the developer got bored and decided to add some grind/repeatable scenes instead of more content halfway through.

There are some minor bugs (the game letting you choose the girl's name and then using the default one in some scenes, or having malformed tags) but nothing game-breaking.

The choice of scenes is decent, and it allows you to ignore the dialogue which is far from the best. Example dialogue: " ...you activated the dildo's remote system, of the dildo inside her pussy, and the toy starts injecting pre-installed fake cum inside your girlfriend's pussy to her surprise and shock. "

so... it's ok. not great, not horrible.

what I like:

• plenty of porn in short video clips
• a small fetish content opt in/ out menu
• a decent
  Spoiler: starting concept

  You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
• in-button warnings for which choices lead to disabled fetishes

what I don't:

• with so many video clips and images collections per porn actress available on free sites these days it boggles my mind that the game designer chose to put in any video that matches the action description with no regard to actress, hair color, or any other features with an eye on at least an attempt at consistent character looks. I mean... seriously, 0 out of 10 for effort there. on the very first page of nsfw content there are at least 3 to 5 video clips, each one with a different actress that are all supposed to be the same character (girlfriend). sad.
• the "story" for what there is of one is event-based. this might work in a well told visual novel where you have more than text to show what's happening. it does not work in a text-based story where text is all you have. you need transitions, or at least something to explain how you got from on event to the next. there's a little of that, but not much, making the game feel like a disjointed screen scrolling session rather than an actual game or story of any kind.

so, again... it's ok, but it could be much better.

This feels like two different games.
Or at least the first half is put before the second half when it should be the opposite.

You start off with sex very quick, and then bang a lot. Like non stop.
Then the game opens into a grindy sandbox and the sex slows way down. Opposite of progression.


Unfortunately the repetitive scenes and grind killed my interest and I quit there. I am not sure if there was anything substantial passed this, and honestly I don't care.
Grind kills my interest 9 times out of 10.

I love this game. The writing is simple and effective. Its to the point but in such a way that it doesnt feel forced or cheesy. The controls you have and the images are done very well. This game makes for an immersive and sexy story. I cant wait to play more.

Puppeteering is a real porn HTML game with a focus on corruption, exhibitionism, and netori (so far).

The game is basically an opt-in/opt-out kinetic novel. You have choices, but they only really choose whether you see scenes, don't see scenes, or slightly modify the scenes you see before returning to your regularly scheduled kinetic novel. While not my favorite type of game, it is what it is.

The story isn't anything the write home about, but it has some pretty good corruption with a lot of exhibitionism and generally willing debauchery. While it's a mind control game, the girl is gently pushed into corruption rather than bimbofied or blue-screened. I prefer this type of thing greatly to the alternative.

Overall, I'm probably giving the game a little more credit than it deserves because of my thing for exhibitionism, but I am who I am. Even if you don't like it, the game is fairly short so far so giving it a test drive costs you very little. I'm curious to see where it goes in the future.

Not interesting, not a lot of player agency, generic characters and plot.

There's really no content, the routes all follow the same timeline and series of events. There is no grind, but the gameplay feels like you can chose left or right, but have to still follow the same doorway.

Fantastic game!

The choices you make actually change how the story progresses, not to mention the amazing choice of videos. My favorite so far being the sleeping route.
There are only two things that would improve this already fantastic game:
1 - A gallery of scenes unlocked (with hints on how to unlock them), has to carry over between routes, so maybe a (restart from the beginning function once you finish a route).
2 - A hint on what choices will entail, cause now the routes aren't too big, but I imagine they will get quite big in the future so maybe something like:
(1) - Make it harder for her to wake up (enables sleep route)

Other than that keep up with the awesome work.
Looking forward to the next update!

Game is good, the use of RP is hot and most of the assets make sense and are consistent, models are hot. story is cliche but whatever didnt come to play for that. overall 4*
the mechanics i think they are called are what set this apart! very unique the couple mechanic.

The images are good, and the story is fine. But it is a mindless scroll to the bottom and click type of game. This should be a sandbox or atleast have it so there is alot of freedom. It gets old very quickly to scroll down and click the one button available. No matter how good the story is.

Review is for v0.01b
A pretty good start so far, although not really a lot of content yet.
The story and characters are good enough that they don't bring the experience down, although they also are not unique or different from other similar corruption games.
Content wise, there isn't much here story line wise but what is here has a very nice amount of pictures and videos to go along with what it. Give it a couple more updates and this could really be going somewhere.

[v0.01a]
Great for a initial release.
Decent amount of content, very high paced regarding sex scenes. Good amount of choices --> not only do they change the scenes, but it seems they'll change the story, which is great!!!
Needs some proofreading.

Could be a good game. Story not too original but it's done in a different way. Didnt run into any grind to speak of in the beginning. Like the GF model(s). My one BIG issue with this game is there are only GIFS, no vids. As I've stated before, I'm not 14 anymore, need a little more than >3 second loop to get things done. Pass.

Edited: Was hoping the game would improve. It hasnt. If anything it seems to have doubled the amount of text and halved the H-scenes. The writing is probably not bad, it's just that theres SO MUCH of it!

Like a million other games out there without much of a payoff. Nothing new with this game and it doesnt do what it does very well. You can pass on this one and never miss a thing. subtracting one star

Has Keyboard controls, which is nice, however they don't appear to be disabled when filling in text boxes. This means trying to name the character something like "James" does not work because the journal opens and you need to start over. I got around this by copying/pasting the names but still seems like a bit of an obvious issue.

Great start for version 1. Balance of images and text. Keyboard controls. Different paths and the ability to skip or hide content you don't want to see. I do wish which choice leads to which path was a bit more clear, but perhaps that will improve in future versions.

Good start. Well executed and a good concept. There are lots of potential paths as well, so as the author continues to develop I'm sure it'll only get better.

It looks like there will be the potential for possession and transformation down the line, too.

I liked the multiple choices you provided. Was very fun. Can't wait for more content. There seemed to be repercussions as well as fun alternatives to explore. Overall just really enjoyed the game and I'm hopeful for new content in the near future.
