Ah, HTML. What fun we have together.
Tasty Curse is a MtF transformation, mind control, and corruption focused HTML text game that primarily uses its writing to re-contextualize internet porn clips into its setting and scenes.
This format should be really, really familiar to anyone who's played The Company.
You play a Slavic foreigner named Nikita who was recently moved by his wealthy but drunkard Dad to America so that you can study biochemistry, when a chance encounter with a witch leaves you with magical mind control pills and a curse that switches your body back and forth with your female roommate every morning. Everyone around you is an asshole except for your nerdy gamer friend, so you both conspire to use the pills to your advantage, yourself to control or rape all the jerks who abused you, and your friend to control and rape you.
Now that I've summed up the prologue for you, my advice is to just skip it. It has the worst writing in the entire game. There's no sex scenes, only a deeply cynical worldview and a lot of bad grammar. You'll thank me later.
Also, while I'm giving you advice, there's an unavoidable bully stealing your money almost every day, and if you run out of money, you literally DIE. I strongly suggest you spend the first few weeks of game time just grinding for money. Don't waste too much time playing video games with Jimmy to survive.
Now, is this a good game? Eh. It's okay. The grind is bearably short, although just long enough to set up moments and context between the sex scenes. I find it very annoying, however, that the only way to intentionally change the protagonist's gender aside from grinding the day away is to abuse the random events system at the Chemical Lab and praying that Jimmy doesn't suck you off again. Blocking off progress on new scenes or content behind repetitious ones is always going to be annoying, no matter what kind of game is in question.
This goes doubly for the cockroach extermination notifications -- corrupting Carol, the roommate, takes a good while, so those notifications are really annoying for much of the early game.
The writing is mediocre, but it does the job, and is actually pretty impressive when you recognize that English is not the developer's first language. Just expect grammatical mistakes and odd syntax here and there. There's also signs that the developer has more content they intend to implement, but obviously there's a sudden dead end of content when you reach that point.
This isn't a hidden gem, but it's serviceable for what it is. If this is your kink, then you probably don't need my review to be interested.
