Walkthrough: Robust in-game hint system -- you won't get stuck
While I've played my fair share of them, mind-control games either via supernatural means or drugs has never really been my thing. At best, it's a cheap contrivance and at worst it feels icky and like I'm playing a creep.Sociopath Simulator, excuse me, Shattered Minds falls squarely in the "at worst" category, but in the best possible way. Allow me to elaborate.
In this game, you are given the power to alter people's minds to the level of eventually "subduing" them where they then become, in essence, your slave. While you can choose to what degree you then use them including options for loving relationships, you still end up with something more akin to a thrall than a girlfriend. The key is that the game revels in this and wants you to do it. While it doesn't really have a didactic angle, it still offers enough in the way of food for thought as you have a white-eyed LI in front of you waiting to meet her fate. Again, not my cup of tea, but if that's your fantasy you are going to love the hell out of the game -- especially since each of the LIs have interesting stories and the overarching tale is also intriguing.
Positives
+ Smoking hot LIs (great renders with some beautiful, large cans. Alice is what got me to DL the game in the first place since I love me some udders)
+ Interesting stories
+ Overall good English usage with only a few odd turns of phrase of typos here or there
Neutral
= Theme isn't for everyone and things can sometimes take a turn for the dark
Negatives
- Needs more bush!
- The game can really make you feel gross since the mind control is, frankly, brutal. I really didn't like the manipulation of thesister roommate as she struck me as autistic coded so it felt extra icky. (She's sooo hot tho.)
All in all, I really enjoyed my time with the game. I think it's a testament to its quality in that, aside from hot LIs and fat tiddies, it basically features NONE of my kinks and still managed to get me crankin'.
Fans of mind control can add an extra star to my review.
Note to devs: Not much to say here; you're doing your thing and you're doing it well. Please consider a more bushed out LI in the future.
