HTML - Abandoned - .sexe [The Prologue Ch.1 Alpha (Patch #3.54)] [smurg]

Came here for the porn, stayed for the plot.

This game has you make a variety of decisions that feel vastly important. The themes are clear but the progression of the story depending on what choice you make is not, so you have to decide carefully and intentionally to forge the path down the story that you want.
This is a very easy game to play in a way that's reflective of your real life self, as you have to often trade personal gains at the expense of another character. Your character is lovable, somewhat messed up in the head with a considerable enough moral conscience to question what he does.
Great writing that isn't too verbose and is genuinely interesting. I would give it a shot, for me I got absolutely lost in the story and stopped caring about the porn.

Legit one of the most well-written games i've played from this site. Every character feels so distinctly their own, and the humor really lands for me. When games have as much text as this one, I often find myself glossing over words and skipping segments to get to the sex, but I enjoyed reading this one so much I wasn't even jerking off half the time haha. Plus the hacking theme is well-realized, both in visuals and gameplay. I was expecting it to be quite short considering the "prologue + ch1 alpha" tag, but there's a ton of content here already. Super excited for updates to this.

[Patch #3.54]

This is an excellent example of how to tell a story without being pretentious. There are a thousand games on this site alone with people wanting to make something more than a simple wankfest. The vast majority of them fail because their developers do not have the writing ability to make their idea interesting. And of those who do, the majority of those fail because, in putting so much effort into their story, they forget to make their game interesting--these are games, not web serials. And of the now very small group that manage to combine good writing with engagement, it's very rare they will actually do something unique.

While .sexe may not be perfect, it's certainly not like anything else on this site. It is unbelievably successful in making you feel like a very specific kind of hacker--the kind with a splinter in their mind, driving them mad, the kind that just can't help themselves from following the white rabbit. It's not just the writing, or the presentation, but the ability and passion behind both that makes it special.

It's billed as 'an adult real-porn HTML game', but I don't think this is true at all. The prologue, at least, reads more like a mature story, not pornographic in the least. I'm not sure if Chapter 1 will hold up to what I've seen so far, but I'm eager to see for myself.

I'm not sure I'd recommend it necessarily--you need to be looking for something interesting over something titillating, which is a big ask for this site--but I will certainly enjoy my time with it.

It's a very well written HTML (not so) visual novel. For me there are several drawbacks:
1) It's mostly text based. There are some pics & vids, but they're few and far between.
2) It's very linear. There are a few choices here and there, but the story is largely linear.
3) There's very little porn. This might be a + or a - depending on people, but for me the balance is off.

With this said I give the game 4 stars because the story is very interesting and well written, and the developer has done interesting things with the html.

Okay I went into this not expecting much, but it is very good. It's hard to describe but this game has passion. Everything is finely crafted to enhance the player's experience.

This is a great example of how to make a good HTML game. The UI design is phenomenal, the color, font usage, and even screen positioning all add greatly to immersion. The writing is great, the story is intriguing, the games/minigames are fun and interesting, and the usage of real-world images are coherent and consistent.

TLDR; A in-depth game with an intriguing and capturing story.

Gameplay
A relatively simple HTML visual novel on the surface, the hacking and puzzle solving portion of the game is extremely entertaining so I wouldn't suggest skipping the hacking portions at all. The social manipulation aspect felt in line with the hacking aesthetic and the choices being presented felt daunting at times (more of that in story). I only wish there were more game to play right now.

Story
This almost doesn't feel like a porn game, and I mean that as a compliment. It seems a lot of care went into the story. For one, decisions are rarely [cum inside or cum outside?] but rather ask that you have been paying attention and truly thought about how you/your character would react. This is one of the first times for a porn game that I've asked myself "what would my character do" instead of "what will lead to a more satisfying scene". There's a good chunk of world-building too. The aesthetics are like that of Mr. Robot, a dystopia set circa the 2008 financial crash. There's like actual themes in this. Themes of exploitation and class are riddled throughout the story as characters of different backgrounds suffer in this world at different rates.

Erotic
This style of porn is very non-intrusive. As mentioned before, the world desn't work on porn logic. So while you are a cashier, there isn't somebody begging to blow you under the table just so you can give them a discount or something. Sex appears in the world organically (prostitutes, hookups with people who already have feelings for you, sex cam sites, etc.) However, I understand if that makes someone like it less because they're looking for quick and easy, but I think this makes the porn more rewarding in this game.

Absolute peak. i've never reviewed a game before but i'm doing so now just because of how good this is.
Sure, the content is currently a little light, and the story needs fleshing out, but the mechanics are excellent and the story is good.
If there's any game here that's worth playing, it's this one.

Well written and interesting story with a lot of intrigue . Unique puzzle solving mechanics. Some grammatical mistakes, but those will likely get fixed with time. Great first impression can't wait to see where it goes.

damn this one was amazing, even for a prologue that was meaty, it feels kinda like DDLC in a way in that it kinda lures you into being another real porn HTML game but then bam existentialism with a tiny bit of horror, some of the twists actually got me, it does things I didn't even know you could do in HTML

Finally a fucking HTML game with actual heart put into it.

This game oozes personality and you can really feel the dev's passion just from reading it. Almost all the characters feel multi-faceted, even with the short amount of time some of them receive. All the characters are fun to interact with, the main character has a personality but you can still inject your own flavor with choices, and the game actually feels like a game instead of just "Choose this or that", or "go here at this time to see this". It actually makes you use your brain a bit, which is really lacking in porn games imo.

Seriously, I cannot praise the writing and aesthetic enough. It doesn't take itself too seriously while still being charming and having really meaningful and profound character moments. The game doesn't shove pretentious drawn out monologues and lore dumps down your throat, but also doesn't insult your intelligence. It just feels... real. Raw. It wasn't made exclusively to beat your meat to, nor is it just drivel that nobody but the dev cares about. The writing feels personal and heartfelt, much more so than nearly every single game on this site.

I honestly can't properly put into words how much I appreciate this game. My time with it has been short so far but it just resonates so much with me. Usually I don't wax poetic like this, but something about this game just stuck with me. I really hope anybody reading this gives the game a try. It's the least it deserves.

Yuzu is best girl.

really fucking good html game, prologue is worth playing by itself (lots of content).
very reminiscent of hacknet, one of my favorite games
so much better than the other rinse-and-repeat html porn games on this site

A genuinely well-made HTML game. The presentation of the game is elite, the writing is good, the pacing of sex scenes is also well done. The content as of patch #2 is actually quite a bit, but the game is farrrrrr from finished. Still, looking forward to future updates! Good luck dev.

This game feels like it's made for me. The combination of genuine tech concepts, the eldrich happenings/existential dread, and high-quality writing and NSFW content make this experience amazing. Top 3 on this site hands down.

This game has a great story with a lot of potential. It has a good mix of story and porn. The hacking is a little tedious but the gameplay is fun. Even though the story is linear there is a good amount of choises in the free roam.

One of the most interesting and stylish HTML games I've played in a long time, definitely looking forward to seeing more. One of the very few games were I've felt like it's actually important to read and engage with the story. Only thing I'd hope for is that eventually you might be able to switch the players gender, but that's not really a criticism or anything, just a hope. Definitely looking forward to seeing further chapters.

Now this is a game for the reader, the horror enjoyer, the mindbending extravagant postings of sometimes a hallucination andperhaps even otherworldly beings.

This game has ALOT of love in it, its not some quick game made to stroke your pickle or flip the bean (Although, there is possibilities for that).

Without further ado, here is my rating of the aspects of the game:

Storytelling: 5/5 - The excellent storytelling and worldbuilding is something that is magnetic and like other posters mention, you can spend an hour alone reading the narrative.

Visuals: 5/5 - The mix between horror, 2000's black hat aesthetics and the twine interface creates an inviting yet sometimes overloading experience for the user.

Gameplay: 5/5 -The first hour i spent playing the first chapter was almost overstimulating (in a good way), here i was expecting a simple and maybe a bit spooky porn game and i was in for a psychadelic and sometimes schizophrenic experience. Its alot of reading and a myriad of puzzles, might not be for everyone but it is for me!

Sexual aspects: 5/5 - The game doesnt force the sexual aspects in to the main storyline and lets it flow in with ease, at some points i forgot i was playing a nsfw game since i was more focused on the gameplay.

Overall, great fucking job developer, dont mess this up and i see this game becoming a cult classic.

Review: A developer’s dream [Ch.1 alpha]

This game is a dream of every programmer, however it is a little tough to play for an average F95 enjoyer.

The writing is very good, you can literally spend 5 minutes on every new page of content and not get bored. There is an incredible amount of detail, but this also makes it harder to gain the information for the individual free roam events and story quests. The change of scenes and implementation of the HTML elements is really impressive and shows a lot of skill by the dev.
There is also lots of paths to be explored, so this is even worth more than one playthrough.

However, while I really enjoyed the setting and premise of the game I was not able to progress without the walkthrough. (provided by the phone) At some point I even had to quit the game because one game section was too complicated and I didn’t want to spend an eternity to figure it out. Might be due to incompetence on my side, but I am surely not the only one struggling with this high-level game.

Holy fuck this game is good.

I remember playing the first version that was uploaded earlier this year, thinking about how well written the whole thing was and how incredibly well the tone and vibe was set using both narrative and metanarrative (aka HTML and CSS but done with love and talent) means, I remember voting for slower, full chapters instantly, not wanting such a gem get lost to the usual HTML real porn game loop of initial spurts of barely nothing updates leading to a slow, painful death. And boy am I glad I did.

From an incredibly promising start, setting the tone and teasing at the mechanics, to a fucking beast of a first chapter making you ask question after question, setting up a story that reveals just enough to doubt twicefold, every part of this game is stellar.

It is definitely not just a game to mindlessly jerk off to but it has well enough porn that you can, although it's so much more enjoyable to go through the carefully crafted scenes and the unsettling dialog so that the amazingly well written sex scenes hit even harder.

genuinely loved the mechanics and how well tied to the story and main cast they were, also just loved how the dev writes people, the effect fear of losing privacy can have on you and just how people behave on the internet as a whole.

my favourite part of this whole ordeal was
Overall an experience that radiates with originality and love from it's creator, I can only hope to be able to see the whole story unfold in due time!

Is this game an actual 5/5? In and of itself? Perhaps not yet.
Does it have the potential? Definitely.
Is it a 5/5 within the context of other games on this site, html or not? You bet.

The writing is much better than what you usually see around here. Is it like watching something by David Fincher? No, but it doesn’t have to be. The writing is competent, the story is compelling and original and the game design is unlike what you usually see. I hate kinetic vns and I love videogames. This is a videogame, plain and simple. It’s lewd and it’s good and you need to download it and support the creator.

Good job, dev. Take your time with this.

Definitely one of the best real porn html games on this website. Extremely polished demo, the minigames/puzzles are fun and rewarding, interesting story and characters, etc. Give this one a try if you haven't already!
