HTML - Abandoned - Rayne Falls [v0.73] [Disgracelands]

Had a bit of a rough start but its turned into something I really enjoyed
Only thing I didn't really care for is the riddles. As a person who enjoys puzzles, riddles are the worst, but a walkthrough is included to just skip em

So this is a very dark mind manipulation kind of HTML game.

I didn't find too much issues with english, personally, nor is the rating reflection of that part at all.

Pics: Well everyone knows if it's HMTL game, and it isn't text only, that picture quality can make it or break it. This is a dark and twisted game, so the pics tend to go that route. In terms of quality they are relatively low res images, so that's a minus. They aren't the best in the world, either. This is I guess average, but could be improved upon. 3/5

Writing: Sadly, this is the part of this game that doesn't make much sense. From constantly reminding the player that this is the game and that they are playing, unnecessary jokes in the wrong times, non-sensical reaction of the player character to the world, how easily corruptible the character is, being disrespective towards the player, the plot that seemingly doesn't make much sense... this is the worst part of this game. 1/5

Atmosphere: It's dark, twisted (unrealistically so), but you either like it or you don't. I thought it was a bit cartoonishly dark, and therefore found it a lil bit childish at times how the writing tried portraying the atmosphere as dark as possible. It's average I suppose. 3/5

Annoyances: Besides the ones I already mentioned, no back button is my compaint, biggest one. There's many easy-to-get bad endings and it gets tiresome seeming through them all, basically necessitating constant saves, which is tiresome.

The story is actually, when you discount the numerous bad endings, quite linear and bleh.


Overall: Poor - I guess people that dig dark and twisted atmosphere mind control games will get their kicks from this. I guess the pictures are good enough for some people. And that's just about anything worth to it so far. 2/5

No rollback feature meaning you basically save on every choice (and most choices are either bad end or go along the linear path) , writing's below average, sound design is unnecessary, 4th wall break uncalled for, image selection mediocre. Not a game I will be playing again, but if you're REALLY into mind control, this might be worth checking out.

This is very about the average dark mind control game. Mucho important despite HTML engine i didn't find sissies here. I'm not trying to say then there are none of them at all. But i didn't see no one. This is important!

I hate this game it gives almost no time in the sally section of the game. It doesn't have a rollback feature. so you have to save like every 10 seconds or go back and replay large parts of the game. Its like it was built to be annoying as hell

forth wall braking is an immediate red flag for me. But despite this I tried to give it a go. Honestly trying to read in this game is a chore. The writing is all in this very odd artistic writing that makes very little sense. It doesn't tell you what is going on but makes allusions to what is happening. If artist games is what you enjoy than this is for you, for me this is just painful to experience. besides the style of the writing the games seems well made with decent art and coding. I would mention story but I have no idea what it was.

Very dark, almost an erotic horror game with quite a unique style of writing. It reminds me of movies like Quentin Tarantino or Robert Rodriguez - lots of shock, eroticism and overall - just a load of fun!

It's hard to respect something that doesn't respect itself. The game laughs at itself in 4th wall breaks that extend far too long they should for a good small giggle.

Getting bad-end isn't satisfying beyond the point of the erotic part you get. And that would be fine if you wouldn't just then shit on the player (even if just for a joke) telling them that they suck.

You also shouldn't joke from piking to take a shower and to masturbate, if you have those option just to say "Fuck no, go for story to get porn instead." What's the point of having those options anyway?

There are some mistakes here and there in text coloring, making sometimes protags. quotes also the ones of another character, which just gets a bit in the way but is manageable (but not pleasurable) to understand.

You could get some more music for the background here and there.

+ never allow anyone to type anything into the game unless you demand 1 exact word (i put the N word when it asked for name, it's my fault yes, but you allowed that for me! what was I supposed to type there? '######DidNothingWrong' ?) , but even then it's kinda pointless if you can just do some A B C D test or something more ambitious like making the player choose what he thinks about to get the answer to a question the player probably doesn't understand because he lacks knowledge of the games world.



Aside from all there is to dislike. The graphics don't suck, the descriptions are really good. The story progression is chaotic and leaves the player unsure should they load up a save and check for more porn or just go with the flow, going with the flow works mostly and the player can learn that at the start of the game quite easily if he just loads up and checks all the options in the bar.

You get thrown into a world without establishing any basic facts at the start, if you would give info like in that simple pattern: "years passed, politics went one way or another but 1 thing changed... [explain why people can mind-control each other here]"

The story goes wildly but it's always a background to the porn, that's why we are all here for... right? Mods gonna school me again... that's why we are MOST here for! And erotic moments in this story are damn good, I enjoyed those, they work out well with the kinks, none is forgotten. If you wouldn't do those damn jokes I would already give 4/5 just on those without even looking a the story because it's not THAT important, but a good story is good, and i have no fucking clue what that story was aside from being a chick that's capable of kicking peoples asses and is depressed. Wouldn't depressed protagonist deal with their depression instead of other things first? You sure can have it in the background always there from tiring life of protagonist but when you just have it extreme without protagonist trying to deal with it at all... I think that plot point was just abandoned because it was fitting to give a new one for more porn without greater story telling... which works.

Also why is 40 year old drug dealer able to make someone into completely loyal fuck toy in less than a hour without attracting greater attention of ANY law enforcement? And I think he didn't had any problem with them because he is just all alone in fucking toilet selling stuff to teenagers. This 1 fucking guy can literally do mad shit crazy things to human mind and he is selling marihuana to teens.

Establishing the world went better than most games do, you have some small nice breaks here and there in the story to tell the player of your world, it would be great in fact if you wouldn't just smack it all with a hammer of 4th wall breaking...



I know everyone has their little kink, their little giggle switch... and if you don''t do it you gonna lose it... but if you do it fucking constantly you also gonna fucking lose it.



I generally don't feel good about rating unfinished stuff but if it goes this way it may just disrespect itself into a grave so I just make this review in hopes that I can give it 4 or even 5 stars in the future.

Have fun fucking peoples free will out of them Disgracelands! But don't fuck your desire to do so by a dumb joke...
