HTML - Secretary [v1.0.1.3 Endgame] [Deedee]

One of my favourite games, although I understand it might not be to everyone's taste. It's primarily a text game with some visual sprites, which is absolutely fine by me. The sexual focus is on sissification, chastity and femdom, and the latter two are core interests of mine. It is well written, well fleshed out, relatively deep/content-rich, and feels interactive. Overall, great! Some spoilers below.

I do have quibbles. There are one or two semi-buggy ways one could soft-lock yourself out of content or progression. A good chunk of the game's choices are flavour rather than meaningful, but not all, so not a big issue. There is some degree of grind to level up and earn money but it's not difficult and some QOL tools reduce this.

In terms of the writing and sexual content I personally would prefer less humour and some more darkness/edge. This may surprise some, as the game features some extremely degrading situations and acts and even makes a nod to this preference with the option to be dominated more harshly by Antlers and Trapper. Yet the MC bounces back happily enough from everything, you never really get the sense that anyone means you ill, and ultimately the MC comes to enjoy everything. It's not that I particularly want more non-con, it's more that some of the more violating encounters in the game don't really get the full emotional exploration that I would relish. It flattens the severity of the game's various fetishes into a hunky-dory pink haze.

But what am I doing complaining! I'm giving this five stars. The range of fetishes covered is extremely broad and rarely feels cursory. You can become genuinely attached to several of the characters, who feel well written and real. The story even archs to a competent conclusion.

If you like femdom stuff and don't mind text-based games then I highly recommend. Very curious about what the developers might do next.

Good story but few images, its like a book you need to use your imagination, i like games with the history showing by images and videos. If you like books you will like this game since there is only reading

Secretary was one of the first feminization Games I played. and I played very much of it, almost. had 3000 achievements. I liked it very much I found it very erotic and hot. My conclusion is that it is a fantastic game for players who want to play and enjoz a feminization and femdom game. With the best kink of all drinking the golden Nectar

Worst text based erotic game I've ever played. Bland, there are choices there but they force you to do certain things, if you are lucky enough you can end your game with turning on a certain thing in game for some reason. Not much to do, grindy as well.

If you are into forced feminization this is about as good as it gets. Plenty of different paths, interesting characters, super hot writing, and with the latest update, tons of different endings. A must play for fans of the genre.

A fantastically written force femme story that's incredibly welcoming to a diverse audience. With a word count well beyond anything else in the genre, Secretary is a behemoth of a game and well worth the investment of time to try playing.

Only recently I discovered this hidden gem here on f95. I cannot understand people giving 1* because of the themes, when these themes are clearly stated on the description, and even at the beginning of the game... If it's not for you, just ignore it! There is a difference between a game I don't like and a bad game! But enough of the rant...

This is the first HTML game I play that actually feels like a game and is (mostly) devoid of bugs.

Pros:
Interesting theme, mostly around sissification
Fetishes can be "toggled" in the options menu
Excellent writing – which is good, since there aren't many images to arouse the gamer...
Good inventory system with hundreds (!) of clothes and other itens to customize your character at will
Hundreds of hours of playtime

Cons:
There aren't many pictures. Mostly, you'll get aroused by the story and dialog, not by the images – although there are some very kinky ones.
No music and (mostly) no sound
A little grindy and repetitive , since the action will require you going to work every day

TBH, I should only award 4 stars, but seeing the 1 star reviews, I feel the need to balance the score!

P.S.: Although major versions are posted here, you should go the Discord channel of the game, were there are daily bugfixes (that only affect to the main html file).

Just rating. Great time waster. Can't wait for it to be fully finished. Let's you go at the speed you want, with gentle pressures prodding you the whole way. The endings are super entertaining and the storyline is fulfilling.

One of the best sissification games here, with lots of content. While html games can vary in quality and content, this one has more than enough of both to stand out. Not just typical porn images with a few hastily put together lines of dialogue, but a well crafted experience.

Edit: (after 1.0 release). My previous statement stands, if you don't get put off by reading, this one's a must play.

Where to start with this game. I guess the good is the best place for a mess like this. The HTML and Twine scripting is very well done. I only ran into one bug where the manager forgets that you're wearing unisex clothing if you're not wearing her specific unisex clothing. The artwork is mostly good. Most of the characters are kinda ugly unless you're really into specifically 1950-1970 Americana aesthetic, but all of the main characters have portraits. Speaking of ugly, don't let the glaringly ugly clothes that the manager gives you fool you, most of the clothes you get at the mall look decent on the character. You can also increase the xp gain of events so that grinding skills isn't the nightmare it used to be.

Onto the bad. The story has the character rocking an IQ of ~80 as a matter of story railroading. If you ever leave the railroad with any of the numerous false choices you are immediately met with a game over screen with endings that are more jokes than actual epilogues(You leave railroad!?! Grue eat you!).

After your character assumes responsibility for what was obviously a managerial cock up on several layers the railroad has you become a secretary for the most buffoonishly incompetent fake top imaginable that the game keeps insisting is intimidating. Think a female Mr. Burns in her late 30s who tries using words she doesn't understand the meaning of to sound more intelligent than she actually is. From there you have to manage your character by figuring out which mechanics are false flags, and what will actually help you pay rent while making charity work wages at your job. It's important to note that the willpower mechanic doesn't actually do anything past using 2 willpower max per week that can easily be recovered on weekends. There are a few places where you can consume more willpower, but it's only for scripted loss events where the railroad requires that something bad happens to the character so you will fail regardless of how much willpower you have stored up.

I waited a few years to see if the grue ends will actually be filled out, like the description suggests, but it looks like these will remain the place holder "get back to the railroad" scenes that they always were.

3/5 for good scripting, decent art, poor story planning, and subjecting me to female Mr. Burns fumbling around wildly while insisting that the 30 year old MC is too intimidated to do anything about her.

Absolutely one of the best games I've ever played. I have a huge sissification fetish and suffer from gender dysphoria. The combination of both forced and voluntary transformation with the "slice of life" events that are in here are just perfect. There are affirming events and language that is just so refreshing. It feels like a game made just for me, which is odd, it means there must be others out there like me. I'm guessing the dev is one of them.

I also really like the number of options there are for everything and different paths to go down. I'm mixing and matching voluntary choices with forced and it is so wonderfully close to what I'd love to experience IRL that I'm jealous of my character.

CONS:
I do wish there were more hair styles and colours, as well as clothing styles and colours. I'm a huge slut for dressing up and cross dressing so I love this. And like a variety of hair lengths for eg. I would love to go for twin pigtails in this game but I like a medium length variety and there is only really long style in this game.

I also am a huge fan of sex "stats" and this game is missing that. Eg. how many mL of cum are filling your sissy pussy, descriptions of cum leaking out of you, how stretched you are, whether you are sore or tingly etc.

One of the most content rich and depth of game play games you're ever going to see. I've got dozens of hours into it, and still haven't seen everything. It's a staggering achievement and I'm so glad to see it back after it's hiatus, I was super bummed when that happened.

If you're not into the main kinks of the game - sissification and femdom - then this game has nothing to offer to you, this is not made explicit so you're basically forced to wade through horrible mechanics and game progression to find out if the game has something to offer to you or not.

The game tries to present itself as some sort of life sim/sandbox but it has a massive amount of railroading to really sell the sandbox experience yet it retains horrible amounts of pointless clicking that it's so common in the genre.

I've enjoyed this game for the longest time, just wish there was a bit more art throughout it. There doesn't seem to be too many paths to go down but the ones there are pretty significant, the game is telling it's own story and you don't have too much say in it outside of a few side stories. If that's your thing then you'll like it

An incredibly detailed simulation of sissyhood, certainly not something I've expected from this game. Sure, there are some bugs here and there, but that shouldn't put you off from the sheer amount of erotic content, some of which you can turn off if that's not your thing. <3

The no. #1 sissy game out their. You wont find a better game that dives into all the fetishes with perfect writting. If you can put up with the lack of images and outdated renders and endur a little bit of sandbox repetition all your desiers will be fulfilled. A better game can be made but I haven't seen anyone succeed better then Secretary does in the sissy catagory yet. Really excited for their next game. I really hope this game gets added to hypnotube website as it deserves more eyes. ( I love the Bambi Sleep refrences )

There aren't many games that include so many fetishes and in a substantial quantity. Secretary does that and then some. Plus the game developers seem to really love their creation and spend a lot of time on it-which always raises the rating a lot!

This is a really well executed game.

Like the majority of HTML-based games, this is all about being slowly feminised (why is it always HTML? Why is HTML so unpopular with other kinks? super-weird).

Some of the other review complain about how your boss forces you to feminise and she's kinda mean about it:

On the one hand, that is PART of the kink so this is a feature rather than a bug. On the other hand, it is interesting that feminisation is often explore in games by a blurring of the line of consent and that said blurring often involves people being really mean to the player-character.

I would argue that while this is definitely a kink, it is not the only available version of the kink. There are a lot of people who are intrigued by the idea of feminisation, and a lot of people who are basically on the borderlands of transness and it would be nice to see a game that treats the dub-con feminisation process not as something that is aggressively forced on the character and more as an act of pushing at an already open door.

This being said, this game is all about the fantasy that the character stumbles into a world where he has no choice but to be a) feminised and b) wind up both internalising and enjoying the process. The world is described in really cool terms as there's this corporation that basically sissifies people against their will under the auspices of corporate training but there are also weird spin-offs and back-alleys from that process that involve more extreme version of the fetish. The game's narrative is partly about uncovering this corporate conspiracy but the game tries its best to balance the tone, so it's like 'GASP! The corporation is turning people into mindless sex slaves!' followed by 'Being turned into a mindless sex slave sounds kinda hot'.

The game is very much relationship-driven, so you can explore different aspects of the feminisation/slutification process by working on your relationship with different characters. Some of these characters are mean because it can be hot to be dominated by someone mean, some of those characters are more friendly, because it can be hot to hook up with someone who likes you.

It is very text-dominated but the writing is pretty good although the hotness comes more from the outlandish nature of the situations and less from the actual sentence-by-sentence writing of the scenes, or the character's connection to the characters.

It's very well realised, it's very evocative, it's very deep and explores a lot of different areas. I'm slightly concerned that the game might be getting too big to be workable as none of the strands seem to be curving round to produce any kind of ending or set of endings and that's a bit of a shame but I think DeeDee has done really well to produce a world this detailed and compelling that speaks so precisely to the kinks it chooses.

I played on v0.8.7.1, not a full play through, but quite a lot.

It's one of the best Twine games on my memory. It's features original art, a lot settings (including characters gender switch, which turns this game from nah to cool for me), plenty of content for different tastes. Writing is good, story so far is decent, world building is consistent. Characters reactivity to player actions is good too. Dev done a good job to make this enjoyable without Wiki.

This game has minor issues too.
1. Progression for "money" feminization style felt too slow, compared to "voluntary", "obedient" or even "forced" styles. I strongly advise not to focus on single one, or you risk to stuck for a while for no fun reason.
2. Non-fetish, office-suitable wear and underwear options felt very limited, if one tries to match by style AND tags. Maybe it's not a focus of the dev, but I would appreciate better selection of modest clothes and looser clothes tagging to simplify mix-and-matching. Also, some clothes options (like grey socks) have broken image references (can be fixed by renaming), some combinations slightly clip with each other.
3. Game can be somewhat grindy/repetitive, but it's representative of office slut slave life, so it's OK.

Overall - it feels, that dev is passionate about this project, and it makes me feel passionate too. Outstanding job!

This game had so much promise but has steadily gone down hill. I understand the "rules" changes involved but there has been progressively less to like about this game each time I've played. It's essentially a text only game now where it started as a beautiful mix of video and art. Now there are glaring holes where they've removed images and videos without replacing them. Just less and less to really enjoy every time I've played. Still a halfway decent base game in there but compared to what it was it's just plain worse.
