I know it's been a long time since this was uploaded, so I may not get an answer, but I'm trying to play it with JoiPlay, as I don't have a PC, but the overworld isn't spawning for me. Meeting the guards, the first lewd scene, and then when I finally get to move, it's just a black screen. Does anyone know what's going on?
When i try to play on Joiplay everywhere is black, game works but i can't see anything. Can anyone help?
Use MaldiVes instead. It's specialized for RPGM MV/MZ.

Virgin run through, no, you can not in the small amount of play I have done avoid any of the hypnotic events, the first one that should be that springs to mind for me is the one very early in the game where at the end of the day you want a bath, and see three men having an argument with the bath man, the game offers you the choice of having a bath or not, choosing not basically stops the game dead as nothing continues, well unless I missed talking to somebody else who advances the day anyway. The entire game is one railroad into hypnotic slutdom, even though it is stated quite a few times in the game itself as a church knight you are supposed to be immune to this sort of thing.
which is a lie that the "priest" hypnotizes sonia to think.
if that's spoilers, sorry.

Maybe spoiler, maybe not, but after getting to the part where you are wanting to go into the bathing area, where the three guys are arguing with the attendant, and having the option to enter or leave, and finding out that leaving basically blocks the game from progressing I gave up playing and deleted it. I am not a big fan of games that rail road you through a specific path, I much prefer ones where the player choose the various paths of corruption or not as the case may be.

This game pisses me off. Not because I don't like everything it does, but because it falls short of what it could be.
With rules that can be placed on the character you could have a game that works from what each rule allows or forbids building towards new content. But instead a whole random bunch of people just use the power to issue what amounts to one off commands.

It would make the game vastly more complex and might drive the CG count higher but that's what was left behind. The game is standing in the shadow of greatness and saying I'll just sit here in what could have been this is fine.

I played this before; was this fan-translated prior to this release? Can't remember. Might give it another go.
The fan translation is a proper legit translation, so dunno why you waited. The Kagura version has also been out for months now, so... *really* dont know why you were waiting.
Agree about the fan translation, it was good enough to play when released.
Oops maybe I'm crazy. Could have sworn this was one where I read it on release and saw like a bunch of reviews saying terrible MTL and I skipped it. Yeah as long as someone put in some manual effort its usually good. Must have confused it for something else, no clue what game I was really thinking of.

You getting any error messages? Using the fan translation or Kagura games? Did you try redownloading and re-unzipping? You use 7zip to extract or something else (windows often screws up extraction if foreign characters are involved, for example). Hm... It might require RPGM stuff to work, so check those. (If you haven't got those set up, hop onto dlsite and grab all the runtimes and stuff for RPGM.)

Well, that was dissapointing. RPGM thrives on the open world aspect and choices, why make a linear VN in it? Corruption isn't as hot if drugs/hypnosis are used.
your entirely entitled to that although personally i think the opposite, corruption is only hot if hypnosis is used

Different strokes for different folks, but how is hypnosis/drugs counting as corruption. You're not corrupting the individual, they either go back to the way they were before or you change them and therefore there is no interal fight that's so crucial to corruption.

agreed. i deleted the game after finding on 3 occurances that you can not avoid the urination no matter what, it is forced. that makes this game a definate pass for me.
