I was hoping that "Bimbo Aura" or "Lesbian Aura" or even some kind of transformation to make her more shapely/busty/curvy would be a possibility (since it exists in the game's world now) but it doesn't seem like those will ever be an option for the player to ultilize. Even a way to customize the transformations; letting you pick and choose the Aura "you" want to corrupt her into would be really fun.
And...
Honestly, a lot of this is very well done.
But...
The gameplay is extremely hindered by the fact that one event has to trigger and lead into another, meaning everything has to be done in a particular order, otherwise you get soft-locked until you trigger the event that's needed to trigger your current corruption choices. This can cause your corruption to just build and build until a gameover occurs because you don't want to make Aura mean, just self-absorbed or an air-head obssessed with her appearance, for example. For example, I want a sex-obssessed super hot bimbo aura who wants to be a sexy cheerleader and model. And who gradually stops caring about her mission in the fantasy world and only goes there to have sex.
This also causes another issue in that Aura in the "real world" doesn't ever match "fantasy world" Aura's personality, or vice-versa. Her attitudes are completely different toward things and it unfortunately creates a lot of separation between them during certain scenes.
I know for story-purposes following a certain order of corruption is needed to some degree but because of this bee-line toward corruption, it doesn't allow you to enjoy the game's world, or setting, nor does it allow you to explore and test things out because you get punished if you fall as "hero Aura" by adding more corruption.
And because of this...
Items, like the Holy Water become extremely needed. However, they are also limited and crazy expensive. This leaves me scratching my head as to why though. Yeah, it artificially makes the game more challenging but it also arbitrarily puts this damn time-limit over your head and the ability to fight it very constrained.
Another issue is, you get punished for making terrible choices; i.e. corruption, vice, etc and that kind of thing. Which is really great! But on the other hand, you don't get corruption removed for doing good deeds or being kind. If you make a good decision, or treat someone nicely, give to charity, refuse to steal something, save someone's life, reunite a couple etc, you are not rewarded with corruption removal.
All and all, the project is worth playing. It's worth experiencing if you like corruption but the extreme difficulty, the rail-roading corruption and lack of choice for overall corruption really leaves something....I dunno, frustrating or irritating left over at times. Especially since you can doom yourself early without even knowing, until it's too late.
I dunno. There's something missing here. But it's undeniable that this author is working his ass off putting this game together and he has kept it going which deserves a heap of respect all of it's own. Play the game, the benefits outweight the detriments by a mile.
