VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Succubus Contract [v0.24.0] [Stick4Luck]

THIS IS NOT A FULL GAME, BUT PART OF AN ONGOING EFFORT
The only reason I will not give the well deserved 5 stars is due to the misleading "complete" tab: this game ends out of nowhere and we are invited to wait for the sequel "Succubus Contract 2"


Girls
I can agree that the succubus did a good job with the transformation of the MC in a girl: he/she looks hot. That also apply also for all the other girls that
we interact with.


Story
I like that my choises have an impact and also the fact that the game is brenched out depending on the fuck interests you have. So far I am hooked by the story, even if it is not a complex one.

Gameplay
I like that the choises ww make have an impact on lewd/corruption/submission and the points for each one is presented to us and also if a choise is not possible you get a hint of what to work on

review based on 0.24 "final" version
PRO:
- cg acceptable
- not bad story
NEUTRAL:
- interesting code. i mean- take translation from *.txt file.
CONS:
- i played on russian lang(reading russian more comfortable for me) and that was not easy- huge amount misprints(for nonnative russian speaker it was like hell). its hard to imagine how many errors contained in eng text...
- game have "completed" status, so- its not a true. it can be named "prologue", "episode1", "chapter1" etc. thats mean- in that "final" version no complete story. that important information mentoned only once- in_game.
- ok, lets imagine- that game ll named " Succubus Contract episode/chapter 1", but we have another interesting problem- there no real transition stats/choices to so named "Succubus Contract 2"
CONCLUSION:
wtf was that? for what reason that prologue was severed from main game? "improved cg quality in "part2" "? no1 care about it, but game structure was terminated.

3 stars here instead 2 only cuz that "game" not so terrible as many other abandoned games

Despite the completed tag, this game is far from being finished. There isn't that much content and the various routes end up in a really abrupt way that isn't satisfying at all and feel rushed.

Now there is a part 2 or a Succubus contract 2, hard to tell with the title that is ambiguous, but it's simply continuing this very story with all previous choices completely ignored, so SC2 is the sequel of a game still in beta ...

I can't give a decent note to such an unfinished game and hope it won't be the same with the sequel ...

decent and cliche,

render, it's decent but i'm hoping for next chapter will be improved

storylines, too cliche since i play this game for only f/f so i only like mc witha averia

models, was good not too odd, but some girls have weird face,

Best gender bender game i have played, waiting for new updates!

hopefully, the quality of the storyline keeps up, as it's pretty interesting. The renders are above average, and somehow managed to turn a genderbender storyline into none cringe.

only thing misssing is more random encounters with other none main characters

Interesting take on the transformation theme, good renders, good variety of characters met so far. I was surprised at how well the RPG element in it works - it's a good thing that the points system is explicit and one can feel like steering the story in a certain direction. There seems to be a logical relationship between those points and certain events in the story, or why you aren't able to make certain choices, which is great - let's hope it stays that way! One thing that puts me off some with some VNs is when seemingly unimportant, or simply circumstantial choices made at one moment in the game have critical, unavoidable consequences far into the story, when you might have been actually trying to lead your character in a different direction. The weighted traits used here seem like the way to go, in my opinion, allowing for flexibility within a desired direction. 5 stars for the promise carried, but also for the good amount of content already in.

A good game with an interesting and unusual story/theme. Of course it would be nice if there were animations (please include animations ), that would make the game a lot better.

Keep going and surprise us with your continuing story.

A very good game with an interesting theme. Processing could have been a bit better, but the theme makes up for it. It is well handled progression through the game, intuitive controls. I would have welcomed a more detailed evaluation of the relationships, but that can be added. Otherwise, I recommend it to everyone who doesn't want just a love story repeated over and over again.

Update 0.14.8 seemed VERY short. I enjoy the game but this last update was hardly worth the effort to distibute it. There should be a way to track the balls you are juggling - no pun intended. Also Cyrillic character appear in passages in the Dream Realm.

A decent game with a lot of potential. The renders are pretty good, and the characters mostly distinctive and well-done. The premise is Porn Standard but this style of game can be good if taken in a unique direction.

The writing is the problem; not just the translation (which appears to have been polished a bit from a machine translation) but the moronic story as well. The game relies heavily on "porn logic" like the fact that the university dorm rooms are coed or that every male character is a one-dimensional creep. The game gets around serious (and potentially interesting) problems by a single wave of the hand, like the fact that the MC can just walk into a "prestigious university" and enroll in about five minutes.

Everything just happens too fast and too conveniently. These graphics plus a decent script with natural-sounding conversations and an interesting story would be a winner. As is, though, it's strictly meh.

Edit: I was apparently using an older version of the game; the newer version still contains the flaws mentioned above, but it has a lot of really hot scenes and so deserves a fourth star.

This is one of the rare gender bend VNs and it's actually pretty good. It follows the typical stuff you see in any gender bend story but executes them well. All the characters look good and even through none of them are unique or memorable, they get the job done. The renders are great.

Review of v0.13
Classic TSF story you find in any doushin: a guy is turned into a girl and everyone is trying to fuck him/her.
The main reason for giving this game a 4 is that the status doesn't affect MC behavior at all and it options while interacting with other characters. Like would be nice if going to meet Cody with high DOM status would change the relationship mechanic or even inverting the DOM/SUB between both.

The story is really interesting, a guy turned into a sexy girl having all the troubles just like TS mangas. But this is even more and everything is so well written, the developer put it to another level definitely. Still, the succubus part is a bit weak and it could have been better with some sort of missions given by the succubus but it looks like a simple whim of the devil. So far, it is quite lesbian-oriented. I never liked those contents but this would be one of my few exceptions. Keep up the good work and look forward to playing next version.

I really loved the way game let player feel like a real girlfriend. Also choices really feels like they have impact on your life.
Render are really awesome. Not too realistic but entertaining in someway.
I love to be in role of a girlfriend more

Surprisingly deep and variable, there's a lot of exploration here in a quite functional Ren'Py wrapper. I've had fun with two different playthroughs, emphasizing different character traits.

One frustration can be found from the different mechanics, which are marked from the very beginning, but are not explained.

Review of Succubus Contract v0.10.5 Public Fix-1

I enjoyed this game way more than i thought i would. Basically its a Female protagonist game even though you start as guy.
Story:
MC gets TFed pretty quickly though and plot developing at the speed of light. So we arrive at the lewds pretty quickly, could be more build up for my taste, but its all right. Paths seem good to me In the current build. You can play through and dont touch a single dick, but some girl on girl seem unaovoidable. Overall writing seem ok, amateurish, but ok.
Graphics:
Renders are good not the best,but stand out in a good way, kinda easy on the eyes . MC is really cute and i dont remeber seeing this model anywhere. Same for other girls. Lack of animations may be serious deal for some, but i dont realy mind. Key frames good enough for me. Sex scenes done good.
Translation:
Biggest problem of the game as of now. Its rough. Me being russian i understand what the author mean, but for native english speakers it gonna be confusing i bet. This is the biggest obstacle in the way of having fun with this game in my opinion.
Overall:
its a 3.7-3.8 rounded up to 4 stars game. Its short and unpolished but it kept my interest to the end of current build and overall it was a time well spent.

Ill give it a 3 for the models and premise

But this game really needs a native English speaker to proofread the English version.

Right now it reads like the "Almost American Foreigners" skit from Family Guy

You can puzzle out what they mean but it spoils any immersion and I could not play more than a few minutes of it.

This isnt a dig at the dev or trying to be insulting to the creative process, just a commentary that in order for me personally to enjoy it, it will need native or a more fluent English proofreading.

v0.9.4

I'm giving this four stars, but a lot of that is based on potential.

Pros
- renders are pretty good. Sure there are better, but these are better than average. Even the characters with large breasts aren't ridiculous like many other games.
- fairly plausible catalysts to make the MC transition from a mentally heterosexual male to accepting sex with men. Whether you consider the magical effects, alcohol use, or the hormones, at least there is something that puts it within the realm of possibility. Many games provide no catalyst and you break the immersion by having to decide to start screwing dudes or there's no scenes and you become a perma-virgin.
- choices seem to matter and provide you with a variety of paths. So there does seem to be some replayability.

Cons
- proofreader/translator needed. Any volunteers? Lots of translation issues.
- many games get overly wordy and spend way too many words describing things that can already be seen in the artwork or sometimes they simply beat a dead horse when the point has been made and they could move on. This game does that at times, but more often, it seems to do the opposite. Lots of story and character depth are missing (perhaps done intentionally to get to the "good stuff"). Perhaps this is something the dev can go back and fill in at some point.

Certainly, the story premise isn't unique, but despite that, you rarely, if ever, see many do it well. I think with a good translator a lot of issues with this game can be fixed.

Good game, I have enjoyed all the scenes. Although the storytelling isn't the best I've ever seen I do appreciate how the MC adapts with the gender change. I do like how the MC becomes super dominant with Wilson at the end (Version 0-9-0 at the point of writing this) and forces him to make a decision.

Awful story, the dev should put up better tags to let people know what lays ahead. I hung around as long as I did for the so-called lesbian scenes and was again heavily disappointed. A huge waste of time and bandwidth.
