HTML - Stepmother Effect [v2.6.2] [K17]

Not a bad one, but not much good about it.

It has a lot of AI images and gifs, despite being a real porn game, which doesn't make any sense. Why would you generate a picture of secretary if you already have a lot of porn with secretaries in your game?

Premise is very good, and picking the path you want to play right in the beggining might be good for many people, but you don't have any info about the path before choosing, so even having an option doesn't change much untill you've played most of them.

Scenes are good enough, but some a repetitve, some have gifs that just don't suit your character (gif with a women, while you're still a guy)

I'd say it's worth giving it couple of runs if you like the themes and paths, but I wouldn't spend my time to clear it

This game is decent but is ruined by really ugly use of ai and also the fact that there are too many options to pick from, even compared to other HTML games.
The game can easily be improved by removing the AI and by changing how the areas are set up, for example, travling to a city first and then having specific areasto talk to people, instead of having all of them in one hub area

It's a decent concept but bad execution.

the game presents all these locations and characters to you, but mostly locks you out of content except for the one route you're taking. so to see content from different characters you have to restart over and over.

the general gameplay includes a lot of unnecessary grind and clicking too,

It's a good game, don't get me wrong, but the pacing really gets me. The MC is supposedly against this, but there's no real resistance or anything, the actions don't reflect it.

And from a story perspective, the many "branching paths" don't actually branch very much. Many of them are very very similar and could be pared down or combined.

While exploring all the paths I kept hitting up against scenes I've seen before just copy pasted into a different context. Anyone whose played the game can tell you they've seen "that one gloryhole scene" a billion times.

All in all, worth playing and decent, but not worth exploring all of the options when your porn gets locked. The side stories and free play stories are pretty cool for a quick read though.

Consistently updates with new and interesting content, optimization also happens regularly. Good use of AI to fill the blanks between real images and videos. Will be really interested to see how a sandbox eventually plays out. My only wish is that the dreams match the story line you are in, but feedback was already received so that will likely come soon. Keep up the great work!

This is one of my favorite games. Obviously this is my preferred genre but love the implementation. Perfect blend of story and porn, good game play guidance with minimal grind, and so many possible endings there's many hours of fresh game play. If anything the last is beginning to be a hindrance. Once you complete a main path the game basically resets to a start point. Problem is you could also be working on one of the many sub paths and your progress through those can get lost.

What I would like to see added is, when you get to the end of a main path give the player the option to go back to the last choice before that path ending so you can continue any sub paths in progress before going back to the main path choices of the game. Maybe there's a way to already do that and I just missed it. You can use the 'Back' button but then you lose that you've completed that ending in the stats.

One of the best Feminization Games on this site in my Opinion.
Its more like a CYOA game than a Life Sim, only Life sim aspect is to earn money and pay rent.
This is a plus to me as there is next to no grinding involved in this game and you can focus on the story instead.
It also features quite a big variety of fetishes and is constantly worked on by the Dev to add more. Main point of the game is of course Feminization / sissification.
Dev also seems to be quite responsive to fans on forums which is good to see.


tl;dr Great game with a lot of fetishes that is constantly being worked on. Must play for anyone interested in feminization

EDIT: Updated to 5 Stars becaus the complaints i had are actively being worked on

This is honestly one of my favorite games so far. In my opinion this is one of the better sissification games I’ve found. The scenes are great and the questlines are amazing. Even the characters are hot! Can’t wait for future content!

This is easily one of the best HTML Sissification games, which are a dime a hundred normally.

It has multiple paths, a number of side stories to find and progress, and effectively no grinding or annoying repetition.

The gifs and videos are of a high quality, yes they do like all of these sometimes pull the female for sissy/trans deal, no I don't think that matters.

trash. good premise. but the utilisation of the porn gifs make no sense. goes down an alley, gets grabbed by another dude, shows a male on a female scene. same with dancing, being a dude, even though it then shows a female dancing. im sure theres plenty gifs out there to accomodate this game. thats the reason for low scores. if im playing as a fem boy, i want all gifs to be correct alligning with the gender the dude is. not to then have a sex scene, and for the scene to include a female in the images, even though its a m/m scene

Stepmother Effect is a feminization game with multiple branching-path.

There no real story or intrigue except what happen in the game and on that level it's pretty straightforward.

The biggest problem with the game is the start, where it is very unclear what you need to do, but right after that, you can chose your path and the game start.

N.B : You need to watch blowjob porn to start the story.... I know it stupid.

Review is for v2.2.1
Not a bad game, but it does get pretty repetitive by the end. Maybe it's because I chose the Pornstar ending, but the game railroaded really bad for me at the end. It was just wake up, stream, sleep, repeat until the movie studio unlocked, and then the game was pretty much over.
OK for a quick play though, but don't expect anything grand.

Excelent visuals and several intertwining routes. Decent writing and sex scenes (sometimes the writing is overwhelmed by the amount of gifs). What can be improved - slower, more gradual change. Currently someone changes overnight and that is not fun. Everything seems a bit rushed and the last 3 branches of the story are also very fast and not that interesting. Mirror has no real use, since today you are one thing, tomorrow completely different. Grind can also be reduced a bit. Many actions take 1-2 more clicks and when you miltiply that by the number of times you have to perform this action, the extra clicking increases by a lot, without adding value.
To sum it up, it's a well written and "giffed" game which requires more balance, slower development and more variety.

[v2.2.1]
Wow.
This game grew so much.

I played this game 2-3 years ago and it was very repetitive and boring to grind to see all the scenes.
But this version give you everything you want.
Cool!

-You are given a choice of 6-7 routes to see and nearly all the scenes are unique
-There is a great variety of endings and scenes to see (one)
-No need to grind
-Easy and nice hints in what to do to progress
-All the choices lead to unique ending with a sequence of scenes or a unique scene(that repeats in other routes)

I like it a lot!
The old versions where you had to grind and it was not clear what to do to progress was tiring, boring and, most importantly, took a load of time!

Well.
All of the content is sissification/femdom/shemale but it looks nice.
Hopefully there will be more content and pleasant changes for players.

the game is playable, it has content. but there are many problems with it which make this game boring to play:


-like 90% of links to click nothing happens, either the shop is closed or nothing interesting in kitchen/living room etc. it feels like a demo game, yet it isn't.

-if you played one of these games, you played all, basically a sissy transformation story. you start as a guy then slowly get turned into a girl and sucking dick. other girls force you. problem is, there are many other similar games like this in HTML format, and compared to the same better ones, this one is a "poor" imitation.

positives:

+no grind... but this is not perfectly positive either since you have nothing else to do than to click through main quest

+you do have choices/routes, but basically they all lead to the same conclusion, you becoming a sissy. the game is not truly "half-assed" the dev clearly works on it a lot so the choices have a bit different story/text/feeling to it. but it's all a bit crappy.

+I've only found 1 scene which was hot to me, when you get raped in a dark alley by a drunk guy if you don't run away, but even there the dev uses the same animations whether you are a girl or boy, despite the text being a bit different... so it's really hard to get into it because as all HTML games, the protag keeps changing, but i guess this is most HTML "real porn" games' negative.

any other scenes are a bit boring to me, you don't have many choices aside from the main routes (i think 5-6main routes and some small decisions in those routes), your hand is forced every turn. basically you click from one quest to another. i think the dev seems diligent... it's just the game is just bad. it feels like a demo yet obviously he spent a lot of time making content so it's sad to give it a 2/5 but i don't think it deserves better, although you can probably fap to a couple of scenes.(for me only the mentioned rape scene was interesting.. but short, no consequences, repeatable without change... so boring and no immersion)
