    I first played this game as RPGM.
    I seen it has since been switched to renpy. I thought maybe they might have made some improvements on it surely it getting worse couldn't be possible.

    I was wrong.

    This game story has giant plot hole on top of giant plot hole.
    *The MC is blackmailed to change jobs. The premise being she wouldn't want her spouse or others to find out what she had done. Yet, instead they expect her to go along with stuff far more compromising and likely to be found out.
    *They present the MC as being smart best in the business. But she hasn't the intelligence to use the smart phone or any other device to catch these people blackmailing her.
    *She doesn't check the brief case. Doesn't make sure the car door is locked or anything else we supposedly transporting money. She was at a level in a business that anyone would know the basic SOP for such movements of currency or anything important.

    The shear volume of issues of this type and level would make this a complete failure for any international writing exam for 5th grade or above.

    Art quality.
    Most the credit for this goes to the individual who developed the render software, models and assets used.
    That said selecting the posses and creating the scene would be to this developers credit.

    I wanted to see if maybe it was just me when it came to my review of the plot. So I talked to a number of friends I share books with. One in particular stood out. The lady lives fairly near me and is what I call a humanitarian. She can't have kids so she spends her time helping others. Adopting and sheltering animals training some of them to be help animals and taking them around to places like cancer centers and places were children and elderly are so they can interact and telling stories and helping in other means.
    Her first instincts were go to the police. I explained that is one option she doesn't have at least locally. She then said state and or federal authorities. Lawyer, record stuff herself, use the internet. I asked her to expand on what she meant by internet. She said make it publicly visible were they couldn't hide from it, then seek others to help, or look up how to get back and or hurt or even get rid of these people if they were willing to do this to her life why would doing anything to resolve the issue not be on the table.
    So I asked would you go so far as to kill them. Her reply was, "Painfully"

    If a much more ordinary but passive person is willing to take such steps how the hell is this story even reasonable. It isn't.
    If this story was drawn with cartoonish characters you might be able to say well it isn't supposed to be realistic its just for fun. But that's lost when you create more realistic images of people. You can't disconnect the story from the visual realism and expect readers to be ok with it. The only people who are going to be ok with it are those individuals who simply skip from scene to scene to wack off. In short they aren't interested in the story. At that point you may as well just make this a slide show.

    It doesn't end there though. See the lines and dialog also aren't written in a non serious manor. So you have further more a suggestion this is supposed to be a work on a serious or realistic level.

    If it was based on the art alone I'd give 1 star. That's to cover the work the developer did himself.

    The writing gets ZERO stars on its own.

    Combining the art with the writing I would give negative 3 stars on a scale of 0 to 4. It literally demands stars be taken away.
    The only value this story holds is as an example of how not to write a story. That's why it is negative 3 and not negative 5.

    I was hoping they would take the time to fix the plot holes when moving from rpgm to renpy that didn't happen.
    I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone. Reading the plot can only make you loose intelligence. Use rpatool unzip the archive and just use an image viewer. You'll be better off just doing that and you won't have to click through the dialog.

    -1 point for all the continue story boxes at home each day.

    So final total score -4 stars.

    One of the most underrated blackmail games I have played. For this reason, it deserves 5 stars. Really taking into account some imperfections, it deserves to be assessed in the range 4.8 - 4.6 out of 5 points.

    You simply do not forget this game and you are waiting impatiently for the next parts.

    In 2-3 years, if the developer maintains the pace of work on the game, it will be one of the best games regardless of the category, although it may still be underestimated and difficult to find in a sea of average and weak competing overrated productions.

    Pro:
    ++ Perfect Incredibly Rich Scenario ----- 6 points out of 5.
    + sensational atmosphere of the game that affects the player's imagination

    cons:
    - slow pace of progress (despite the huge amount of work already done) in such a rich scenario - at least 10 years of work for one developer for the full implementation of such an interesting and rich scenario
    - average game mechanics

    This game is all over the place. Nutty story combined with haphazard storytelling means it's just a set of tied together renders. Corruption comes way too easily and then it's just repeated over and over. There is no sense of a fall from grace, just a "Oops you are fucked."

    Dev clearly knows how to churn out the scenes, but the story makes it a ll just feel like a waste.

    It's quite the blackmail story.
    The female protagonist starts of as a rather prudish woman who is forced to swticht to a new job where she is being manipulated and corrupted.

    The way the is being played by the blackmailer might seem a bit off at first, but later on this seems to get better.

    The scenes are kinky and rendered nicely.
    I can't remember any big gramatical errors, but I'm not a native English speaker myself :)

    I would higly recommend this game for those who are into corruption / blackmail / female protagonist games.

    Anyone wondering whether to play this game or not should know one thing right up front - it has a TON of content and none if it could ever happen in the real world. There is no sense of connection to reality at all. An entire building full of guys abusing girls on the daily and making some semblance of doing deals with other morally corrupt people.

    Lots of content. Lots of naked girls and massive dicks doing things to them and a weird disconnect from actual personalities that makes the whole thing feel plasticy.

    That said - if you just wanna get off staring at mediocre (but plentiful) rendered sex scenes then you hit the jackpot.

    the humilition in this game is top notch, with the story that kind of makes sense, this game should get more exposure.

    really nice characters, i think need a bit of work with facial feature, but still nice.
    nice animations, and with moans sounds, which makes this game better than a lot of other games that dont have it.
    the gameplay is ok, standard renpy vn, just make sure you read carefully and click everything that can be click (especially on the map).

    overall game is 5/5 for me.
    thanks

    I've been here since this vn first published in here. Gotta say its amazing how far it got, dev definitely improved himself over time along with the game. The change RPGM to Renpy is always welcome and appreciated (y)

    Honestly im mostly here for the corruption part rather than all that blackmails going on, even then game is still very enjoyable.

    I like a lot this kind of games. I never played before because i hate RPGM gameplay. Good work porting it to Ren'py.
    In the other hand the MC is pretty beatiful. Very different from the main characters we usually see, which is good.

    This is a game I should really like, but the more I have been playing these games/vns the more I find myself looking for a good story and characters I can connect to. The problem with SR, is that I connect too well to the MC.

    Pros:
    I like the kink fetishes. The dildos, machines, etc. and the renders are solid. The dev sticks to his blackmail storyline almost religiously which ends up working. While the whole scenario and setting is totally unbelievable, the dev goes all in on it and makes it work in the "universe" they have created.

    There are a nice variety of models and each character has a purpose with a unique personality.

    Cons:
    It's a bit too intense for me and I would imagine others as well. The dev does a nice job with MC. She clearly hates all of this and is being mentally wrecked by this entire ordeal even though her body betrays her again and again due to the pill they force her to take every morning. And while this is a totally realistic and believable reaction by the MC, it makes it really uncomfortable to watch. For me, it's just too rapey.

    I think it would be easier for me to enjoy if the MC was unlikable, and while I find the MC kind of bland, she obviously is intelligent and has worked hard to be successful in her career. So far, it seems like the MC may be paying for the "crimes" of her parents or someone else. It seems like she is totally innocent and not deserving of her fate and this is where I just can't play it anymore.

    Conclusion
    Just because I don't like it, doesn't mean I don't appreciate the work the dev has put into it. There are regular releases with solid content. The story is consistent and always seems to move forward. If you are just in it for the fapability, you will enjoy it, but if you get uncomfortable easily, I would move on.

    In this VN you are a female protagonist. My first impression, in the beginning, felt slow and mundane due to just me simply trying out the game because of the interesting title. I honestly didn't think I was going to play this for that long, but I was wrong. I played the entirety of v0.7 almost in one sitting. I got hooked.

    I've played a lot of visual novels and this game is unique because of how it's put together. This game really mains on being black-mailed. The plot is simple yet effectively put together in a way that it's quite engaging. Depending on what kind of player you are, you will get a sense of do you want justice for the MC or do you desire for this MC to continue this shameful path. I've had many contradicting emotions while playing this. Because of how the author orchestrated this game, it will make you desire the shameful path because there is a lot of sexual content. However, the plot was tailored so well that, you may feel sympathy for the MC and I'm sure the author is building justice for her eventually.

    The renders are above average, but over time, the plot will make the renders more appealing. The MC model didn't seem interesting at first, but that was just judging the appeal, not the character. After getting to know the MC, I slowly got attached to her and got hooked on her character, I didn't find her personality annoying or obnoxious, her response to most situations is quite reasonable. The interface has minor problems, but for the most part, I didn't encounter anything game-breaking. The music, in the beginning, felt like I was playing pokemon, but over time, it'll subside and get more serious.

    Overall, I really liked this game, I look forward to its future content and I really want to know what will happen next.

    This game is absolutely amazing among all the mediocre today game choice.
    Nice blackmail, story and plot make sense, character is very pretty.

    Good hardcore and rape scene, definitely is my top 5.

    The only thing I would change, I would port this on Rempy platform.. but it question of taste.. not really a cons

    One of the best "Corruption" games here. The main problem with other titles: the protagonist very quiclky becomes just a cock hungry whore. Any random dude shows her a dick - and the next second she is like: wow! I need to suck that! That quicklly becomes very boring as it totally loses its "corruption" vibe. Here the protagonist preserves her personality (at least so far as of v0.6) though is forced to do different "things".

    Another huge "Pro" for me: the main character model. She's awesome. Plus unique (haven't seen her among other games' assets).

    As for CONs: there is one main con for me. I'm glad that it moved from RPGM to RenPy (I think it is ALWAYS better until you are not making a jRPG with fighting, spells, RPG stats and so on), but the developer tried to "upscale" HD images from RPGM version to Full HD. And some of the images are done via rerendering (I think), but some of them are done via some lame upscale Photoshop Filter. I advice the developer for "old images" just use a common resize - yeah, they will be a bit "grainy" but still would look better imho then the current result. Plus some of the images are over-contrasted and over-saturated (compared to RPGM version).

    PS. The dev seems either Russian or well familiar with Russian culture. "How much time? - Five watch. - Such much? - For whome how. - Finish in MGIMO? - Ask!" - is a well-know joke about "Runglish" in Russia. That was fun to read. As well as some other aspects. Wish all the best with the futher development and definitely recommend! Change the old images though...

    A nice female protoganist game (which is a rarety).
    Basically, you play as some prudent girl that was drugged during a party and was taken naked pictures of. After that the girl gets blackmailed and the story goes on.
    The pictures and animation are ok, but not more than that.
    The girl's model looks unique to me, or at least I have just never seen it in any other game. The girl, I would say, is realistically pretty. She is not some super model or an unbelievable beauty, but more like "one of the most attractive girls in the class" kind of girl.
    The main kink of the game is humiliation. If you don't like it, chances are you won't enjoy this game at all.
    The story is decent. Not totally believeable but ok for a porno game.
    Unfortunally, there is very little of corruption in the game for now (which is a problem, considering the description where it is stated that the corruption is one the main kinks of the game), and it seems to me the developer doesn't know to implement it in a even relatively believable way. Maybe he should play something like Katie's Corruption and Good Girl Gone Bad to get some inspiration or ideas.

    Overall, I do reccomend this game if you are into humiliation. In my opinion, it is a four star game. To become a five star game the developer needs badly to improve the quality of the pictures and add some "smoothness" to the story, especially to the corruption of the main protoginist to show how she changes and become naughtier over time.

    Exactly the type of slow-boil, disempowerment corruption I like to see. The models are a tad uncanny and the dialogue and/or translation is a tad poor, but the story is wonderful. I have high expectations for where this will go from here.

    Some of the scenes are hot, and some of the story has potential to become hot. The re-use of the same scream sound what feels like twenty times is annoying. There's far too much "click to see black screen, click to see splash screen, click to see black screen, click to see next image of story." There are almost no choice points, and they make very little difference (so far). One big decision that I think should be available isn't offered, right at the end. The introduction of the main character blows far too much sunshine up her arse. The husband's a total waste of space. This feels like a long, slow introduction to post-PAM sandbox gameplay, then ends. So far, it's a story.

    the developer has a nice wife( very beautiful)and does not know what to do with her,gave us sex scenes with her husbando_O(the most boring sex ),I would advise him to play the game (GGGB)to get ideas about corruption. Ιn the middle of the game I got tired of watching indifferent scenes(I almost fell asleep),Sorry but when I first played the game I liked it and I expected it to be an amazing game in the future with many sex scenes and many NTR. instead the author seems hesitant, conservative, without imagination,I hope in the future he will see things differently.(showed us a hundred times to take a bath and no sex scene in the office)
    this game has many possibilities and the writer to dare it.
