In another attempt to try something new Sissy maker!!!!, Now I can masturbate to some sissy trap shit, I'd even be willing to try boning one IRL, I don't know if I'd enjoy it, this is the only thing I find confusing about my sexuality, I feel like I'm 90% straight but am willing to be tricked. Point is I don't mind the penises, personally, if you do don't be tricked I think there is one actual regular female in the game and I don't even know if she's fuckable.
So what is sissy maker? It's exactly what the title suggests, a game where you play as 2 characters actually! Chris, the sissy, and James, the maker. Basically Chris is a lazy moron who rents from James and hasn't payed rent in a long time so she owes James 30K$ and to get it back James decides to help Chris with her transition, not from male to female exactly more like from slut to cumslut, and in doing this help Chris earn the money she owes James.
The thing I want to make clear from the get go is this game is a mess, it's insane, I have no idea why you should do anything , there are short term goals that are mostly just convoluted and a long term goal of paying back James which is like the main plot point of the whole game and you don't even start with a way to make money. This game has a gallery, not like a scene gallery that has the whole scene played out again no that's far to fancy, it has an image gallery, the worst kind of gallery. That gallery has over 400 images I have unlocked about 140, I know how to get some of them but I don't want to play through the game again. There is a shockingly small amount of characterization for a game that claims to be an "erotic novel/dating sim". This feels like a book was written by committee so every few pages things change and refocus in a weird direction.
Gameplay is going through menus that slowly enter the screen from the right from top to bottem and obviously everything you want to do is closer to the bottom of the list. You also keep track of a bunch of stats, I have no idea what most of the stats are for, some are required for progressing through the story milestones like strength, those ones you can alter, others are determined by a quiz you take in the begining and don't appear to have any noticable bearing on the game nor are able to be altered despite taking actions that should logically alter them, like sex appeal. You can increase Chris's bust size in the game supposedly to massive double D's or whatever, I have no idea how I was only able to get them to C's and couldn't find a way to increase them past that, though they kept showing up bigger in cutscenes and they look shitty in said scenes because the dev was lazy and basically just poorly drew on the pictures with MS paint so they look fucking weird. You have to interact with certain characters at certain times to effect them, not move up there story, they don't have a subplots in this, but it's the only way to see certain scenes and progress. Main problem with the gameplay is it's nuanced in annoying ways, like when you want to move to another location you go to a map then take a -10 to stamina and move up a time slot even if you go back to where you went. It also dominates the game because again, there is little direction in what you should do.
Story, this game has multiple endings and I only got the true ending, I won't spoil but it should be obvious. Point being I only know the story from that perspective and it was lukewarm at best It didn't help that at one point I just stopped interacting with the "STP building", this is like a school/main hub where you increase stats and talk to most characters, and just earned money for the last part of the game and It was boring and shit. I already said the characters in this basically just aren't, they have almost no personality and even if they did talking to them 90% of the times just leads to the same exact line with no change so why even bother? because sometimes you need to to trigger other scenes, for some reason. maybe I've been spoiled by game devs with a brain but I ended up being frustrated with this game from a design perspective, you don't feel like you earn anything or progress in any real way, the game adds random goon attacks half way in for no other reason than to be a nuisance that occasionally sets you back, assuming you don't save scum, which of course you fucking do who wouldn't ?
So then why am I on the fence? Because I played this for a few hours, put it down annoyed and ready to move on then came back because I liked the art and wanted to see more of it. I wanted to see my 2 main characters fuck as that hadn't happened in my initial play through and I feel like any game where I come back to it after I put it down deserves something.
Honestly if you are into this fetish and don't mind the shitty guide and lack of depth then you could do worse than sissy maker, it has some good art even if it can be a challenge to find all of it and I ended up spending more time with it than I expected.
