VN - Others - Completed - Saimin Yuugi [Final] [Staffing]

Played two routes, only technical hiccup was some strange line breaks in the text early on.

Definitely a mind control game, the protag goes and hypnotizes students and/or a teacher.
While the art's good and the characters themselves are solid, the game's plot seems to just march towards the protag becoming a rapist in every sense of the word, with no option to prevent the protag from going off the deep end despite multiple prior choices staving it off. This was disheartening, since the VN opened up so strongly with a protagonist who, for once, is well-respected and liked by all his classmates.
If the game kept the choices to not jump off the slippery slope for later parts of the game, it could have been 4.5 stars, but as it is the game becomes genuinely unpalatable.

The mind control theme at it's best, with slow and meaningful progress through story. Choices mostly lead to bad endings when you try to rush things a bit And all the sex is vanilla, but sensual (not gonna lie, I wished for more depravity). I so long for an actual game with similar premise, instead of a VN.

Just played for a couple of hours, on Rui's Route.
And I have to say, this is one of the best mind control game I've ever played.
Nothing is rushed, it really feels like you're slowly doing hypnosis on them, while slowly getting their trust.
If you like mind control, I highly recommend this game.
4.9 / 5 for me.

Well, since it's officially out of the translation forum, I think I'll leave the review as it is.

It's perhaps without a doubt one of the best hypnotic-mind control visual novels of all time, defined by three things.

1. The way hypnosis is applied is constructive; in fact, if you want to do it quickly, you'll always end up with a Bad End.

2. The heroines are for different tastes, but they're all likable, especially Maiya, Keika, and Rui, who are for more specific tastes.

3. Sayori's character design is spectacular; in fact, it was her first major work before she moved on to more “friendly” things like Nekopara.

Easily recommendable if you like hypnosis and mind control as such, it is perhaps one of the basic readings of the fetish. It took three years to translate, but it's finally here (except for a few details). It would be nice if Saimin Enbu were properly translated someday (and not that MTL you find on the Internet), but it's really already a win. My congratulations to the translators, who I know are several.
