    A very good game that probably needs to complete some time soon.

    The game is all about a guy who is employed by a secretive pharmaceuticals company based on the fact that he's discovered a mind-control serum. The early game-play is all about moving back and forth between working in the lab to produce 'potions' and developing your relationships with the NPCS to get them to the point where specific 'potions' will have specific effects.

    This sand-boxy affair is complicated by a plot involving the internal politics of the corporation that is never all that relevant and never really comes into focus either. It just means in practice that there are times when you either need to produce specific potions to order or apply specific potions to specific people by certain times in order to advance the game.

    All of this is further complicated by the fact that you occasionally get splashed by potions and these change your apparent gender. Gender is dependent upon how you act but there's also a question of which equipment you have. So if you act in a way that the game determines to be feminine, you drift from dude to fem, then to transwoman and then you can get rid of your junk. You can also be more dominant or more submissive. Different genders can yield different outcomes so there's a bit of juggling in order to keep yourself on-track.

    The images are pretty well-chosen and the characters are (for the most part) pretty well-written but the game has a lot of characters and involves a lot of potion-making and so you spend a lot of time in game. Unfortunately, once you reach a level where you 'unlock' a character's behaviour-changes, you can't turn it off so what starts off as fun, sexy discovery soon becomes slightly creepy. For example, it's one thing to wake up to discover your mom is going down on you but having her forcibly go down on you every single morning gets repetitive, dull, and starts to feel a bit like rape to be honest.

    The decisions you make with the characters are all irreversible too. There's a tree to each of them but the amount of grinding in-between them means that in order to see the different evolutions of the characters, you have to submit to hours of replay and hours of being forcibly sucked, fucked, fingered, and rubbed in the exact same way day after day. I admire the thought that has gone into the different evolutions of the characters but I'm generally done after a single run and that does create some FOMO and decision paralysis that undermines the sense of satisfaction.

    Also weird is the fact that, late in the game, you unlock a weird basement where you can not just develop different sex slaves but also surgically alter them in really drastic ways. Aside from being a complete non-sequitur from the rest of the game's kink palate ('what if the cute transgirl at the office was into me?' is 1000 miles from ('what if I abducted someone, cut off their legs, and turned them into a mindless grunting sex-pig with wings?') this section is really poorly implemented and has nothing to do with the rest of the story.

    This was a really tight,clever and well-executed game that has grown increasingly bloated and weird with the passage of time. Time to start thinking of bringing this girl into port... time's up. Time to move on to the next project.

    It's like the 4th text-based game that I play, I liked it, I mean the interactions, the personalities and the way the npc act on the main character are good, the grind is a bit complex, but not difficult if you allocate your time, but has plenty of +18 content the way you get it.

    0----->5

    -Drawing/3D modeling: 0 (they are images and gift, there is zero effort creating the character design, but it does not mean that this is a bad thing, he knows how to use that content at the right times..)

    -Music/Background sound: 0 (I don't know how the background sound works in text-based games, I don't know if they can be set or not, but something that would have been nice to add to the scene)

    -Plot: 3.5 (The argument, I feel that the beginning is a bit forced, they introduce you to the main character, you think that he is someone normal and suddenly they tell you that he is a scientist who invented x product that does x thing, out of nowhere this may seem a bit forced, of course then the game develops and begins to make some sense and you solidify the story, however if it is a bit rushed at least that's what I think)

    -Map: 5 (Well designed, it indicates the places so that one can know which npc are there.)

    -Animation: 4 (well, there is no animation as such, they are gif/photos/videos taken from the internet, however they are well used according to the context of the scene situation, so this is something that can be positively pointed out)

    - 18+ Scenes: 5 (there is a lot of content +18, there is nothing more to say)

    -Gameplay: 4 (It lets you do several things and actions per day, it doesn't limit you and that's fine)

    -Interface: 5

    I think it's a good text-based game, it's not boring like others that literally are like 100 lines of text and 1 image, something that at least I don't like is that I feel that the story, the main plot, goes too slow, you arrive to a point where you've done almost all of the "sandbox" and you're stuck with no content, but that doesn't take away from the goodness of the game. As I am someone who really likes the plot and a plis of +18, I recommend this game, you can take it as a different way to watch more interactive porn.

    I rated it out of 7 items, I didn't add 3D design/modeling because there's no point in rating it with that aspect

    One of my favorite games, and I still consistently look forward to more content releases. Dev is communicative, interested in feedback and makes good stuff. The new artstyle releases look good, but the dedication to continuing to release with the real porn graphics is something that a lot of other games would skimp on.

    Version: v4.3 Complete

    I will say, this game is one of the better HTML games i had played, yet it still suffers from the pointless grind and figuring out what you need to do to progress a characters story is a pain. So for that reason, the wiki is required, which is a damn shame, if you need a wiki to navigate a game and progress, well then you failed somewhat.
    When it comes to the game itself, it pretty fun with quite a bit of variation and the ability to choose between dominance and submission is great, considering both path have quite a decent amount of content in them.

    [Review of Public 4.3 on 3/5/2022]

    I'll start by saying that this was one of the first HTML games of its style that I played many, many updates ago. I didn't review it back then, however, because frankly I had no interest in reviewing porn games at the time. I'm honestly not sure why the urge to start doing so has hit me, but that's neither here nor there.

    More importantly, what do I think about this game? It's good. In fact, it's better than a lot of games made in a similair style, and frankly, it's better by a long shot. There's little grammatical mistakes here and there -- for some reason, the apostrophe-'s' seems to keep disappearing from the phrase "someone['s] cock" -- but none of it is catastrophic or often enough to ruin the reading experience.

    The embedded content, the short and soundless clips accompanying almost every scene, come from snippets of other porn you can find floating around on the internet. Each character's scenes from those other pornos are recontextualized into the game's own story, making the writing a significant contribution to enjoyment of the game's content. Helpfully, the characters are also all named after the porn actors portraying themselves, which made it very easy to locate the sources of each scene if you like the snippets more than the writing. For myself, this was rarely the case.

    The gameplay is... well, I don't enjoy it. There's no actual challenge from what I can tell; it's largely just a grindfest of components, money, and chemically induced mind control and interpersonal progress with the characters. This easy but time-consuming gameplay is frustratingly common among these HTML games. I understand that this is probably the best format in which to present this game's style of writing and/or content, but I'd rather there was either a challenge of some sort or at least a reduction in the grind. It's totally possible to build atmosphere without having players mash through the same text descriptions over and over again.

    So, do I recommend it? Well, again, the writing and presentation is good. My understanding is that this game is actually based on a series of erotic shorts that someone appreciated enought to base this off of, and I doubt the primary developer would have settled for subpar writing or presentation when making such an homage. So, while I'm far from calling it perfect, I'd say this is worth trying out on that fact alone.

    The game seems quite garbage. Have finished Chapter 1 (in 4 uneventful hours) - not a single femdom scene. My character is Completely Submissive, Uncontrollably Aroused, and yet all the _TWO_ sex scenes I got were with unavoidable harsh maledom (and the gifs were all tanned Californian porn "stars" sucking long schlongs).

    All the choices I got was either drug women (or withhold), or get larger male boobs (or not). Where is femdom? Where is the story? Where are the characters?

    I wouldn't mind the grind (who am I kidding), but after a few days, I seem to have stopped getting character reputation increases after talking to them.

    The best and most attractive character is John (no homo), a lively bald muscular guy. Would want more of John, were it not a pornographic game. And if the dev didn't hint on making him a red shirt with his homophobic remarks. (Please, don't kill John, he's misunderstood.)

    P.S. The dev made it so that buttplugs make the protagonist more feminine, whereas chastity cages shrink his penis. Yes, gender locking is an option, but still, connecting four different fetishes into such stereotypical pairs is counter-intuitive and slightly offensive (what's next, chastity predetermines NTR?).

    The good part is that these changes are totally irrelevant through Chapter 1, i.e., 4 boring hours with nothing happening. 1/5 for effort. What do people even find in this game?

    I've been following this game for quiet some time now and with every major update, Westain manages to make the project even better. The new Freemode is just brilliant.

    Plus with the Discord community there are character sets that can easily be swapped in and out. 10/10

    Pretty good over all.

    Grading this off the 4.0.0 update (there's a new one that just dropped earlier today ver 4.1.0.3 that I haven't played yet). Saw the new update and remembered I never got around to rating/reviewing this one.

    So let me just preface this by saying I only played a couple of the possible roots in this game. I have no interest in gay, futa, trans, or genderbender content so I completely avoided the routes involving that kind of content.

    That said, there's still a few options left to play around with that leave the MC as a straight male and I ended up replaying the game a few times to see the different ways things happen if you play only as either a dominant, neutral, or sub straight guy. Little bit grindy at times, but the cheats you can use at the beginning of the game help alleviate that issue to an extent.

    Nothing really groundbreaking here. Sometimes it's a bit dark. Sometimes things go a little off the rails. And at a few points it did get a bit boring waiting for the next events to unlock, but over all it was still fun.

    Would rate it higher, but there's a lot of focus placed on things outside my comfort zone that I had to avoid as well as the boring bits.

    Over all I'd still say its worth a try. Plus if you like games that sissify or genderbend the MC there'll be even more options for you to play through than I was willing to engage in.

    Adequate, but nothing to write home about. I was generally a fan of the ability to change various characters' personalities through drugs and corruption, but each character has so little content that the grind didn't feel worth it. Incidentally, the game is very grindy, and while skipping is approachable, you miss out on resources.

    Best real porn game Ive seen so far!
    Played the Mommy Love route and that was so much fun.
    Rest of the story is a bit weak sometimes, but still good.
    Good choice of actresses and scenes. RIP Dakota Skye :((
    The guide and wiki are really outdated, which is sad.
    All in all one of the better html porn games.

    I've been playing a lot of HTML real porn games as of late and unfortunately this game is the most boring of them all.
    The amount of grind is absolutely tiresome. $10K to progress with the "mother" because of an item. The over all game play is slow and there are a lot of repetitive scenes and dialogue. No possible way to open the other paths, you're locked and have to replay the whole game from the beginning if you make the incorrect choice. The guide only covers two of the characters, the others the player doesn't get any hints or suggestions on how to progress.
    The borrowed porn clips from the Internet are low quality and most of the gay/futa/trans scenes are unavoidable*. (I was hoping they were because of the discussions around the subject. This doesn't drag down the over all score as I can ignore scenes if the other content is good, which isn't the case in this game)
    The story itself lift this game up not to be terrible(1/5)

    Further down the road maybe this game gets a polish/remake which makes it more pleasant and fluid. Until then, good luck devs!

    Rated: 2/5
    Based on: v4.0.2 Complete

    Theres to much violence and forced stuff for me. I wish the boys didn't need so much violence to jerk off. All the kinks and fetishes can ocur in a narrative without the need of tricking or abuse someone.

    If I could I would rate 0 stars, because after my MC gets arrested by Tasha and John to be cattle in the Pit and the forced sybian szene, my dick nearly exploded. A warning would've been nice ;) " -> that girl from Pigeon Blood

    Amazing game with diffrent "routes" and kinks. Thanks for the great work, ll definitly visit the patreon page!

    Review for 4.0.1

    IMPORTANT: I pretty much always play with cheats on so i can't speak much about the grinding aspect of this game. I hate grinding and unnecessary repetition.

    One of the best HTML games out there, the game has a very nice overall quality.

    Graphically, the game use real porn and pictures, but there is a good quality for both the images and the gif used. So nothing to say here, it serve the purpose.

    Writing wise, it's very good! The writing is intelligent, thoughful and properly paced without going into huge walls of text so it's quite engaging and fun to read through. Characters are nice too although i would haved liked more ways to interact with them and do activities, but that's really a detail. The story is relatively simple, yet give you ample room to make your choices and decide what kind of content you'll get. And there is plenty of content and routes you can get.

    Gameplay is simple but effective, you make a variety of chemical compounds which can be made in minimal quantities, but can be upgraded to make larger quantities, giving a good purpose for money and the different objects, chemicals and other stuff you can get.

    Perhaps the lewd scenes could use a bit more variety of gifs and images, as it can be repetitive to see the same ones again and again. It would also give more purpose to replay the different routes and such.

    Overall, pretty solid game.

    This could be the best HTML game on this site, but sadly, it isn't. There are hints of greatness: Interesting setup, branching decisions, above average writing. But it's repetitive as hell. You click through the same screens over and over and over again. To make things worse, there are lots of unskippable "random events", which also repeat themselves.

    This game needs some serious trimming. Get rid of the repetition. Focus on the storylines. Make navigating the menus less tedious. Communicate goals clearly.

    As it is a real porn game, image quality is very inconsistent. Character portraits and some phots are well chosen. Some GIFs look horrendously bad, though.

    The Company has a few elements in desperate need of additional content, but ultimately it's one of the game's few HTML games that I'm actively willing to play from start to finish each time, the writing is just that good.

    The game has good graphics and story involving the slow teasing and sensible direction of story. The developer of game is active and the story direction about mother and daughter is very interesting. Looking forward to more content in the upcoming releases.

    I will admit something.
    it's a popular game and i tried to play it once and instantly got overwhelmed by everything on the screen and gave up.
    some time passe (two years actually) and i decided to try again and stick with it.
    And i'm not regretting anything.
    This game is great, it's like inception but with drugs and sex.
    The game isn't perfect, but it has so much potential, so much possibilities.
    depending on you choices of "commands", with how you act, the story will change, and it's really interesting to see what happens.

    There is a lot of potential.

    Considering it's an HTML game, it's actually quite good. The story is ok, nothing fantastic, but it allows for a good variety in situations and sexual encounters. I certainly wouldn't play through everything again in future updates, but it was worth playing.

    I'll admit i didn't think I would like this at first based upon first impressions. I played the game initially without pictures and then later with, knowing they are actual porn stars can be disjointing at first because you're trying to put them into a different kind of setting, but after a while it settled in my brain that they were part of the character in this and I blocked out the real life aspect.

    The game itself is an game of mind control via the use of ever more powerful and potent serums. The main character, of whom you can name and designate either male, female or dickchick is the head of one of the labs in the company.

    From there and the development of mind serums you decide how the story branches to a certain degree. You have a variety of different characters to interact with such as an initially standoffish nurse, a serious boss, a seductive accounts girl, the sales team of Tasha with a hidden secret and of course the very popular and loved character of John, of whom everyone absolutely loves...no really, just ask. There is also your lab assistant Penny who is overly enthusiastic.

    And there is quite a few things you can do to them and to yourself if you are not careful. You can end up a complete bimbo girl, a sissy male, you can be submissive or dominant,each one has a branch of choices you can make. i recommend for that reason saving prior to each choice as some choices end with no further choices.

    There are of course the hazard of the inner politics of the company which you have to try and navigate, and this forms the content of the different chapters. End of the chapters allows you to continue to play as a kind of sandbox mode.

    At first the whole deluge of information on your screen can overwhelm which sometimes games made with Twine can do. but you will get used to that if your keep playing. There is an engaging story, a lot of choices and a variety of different kinks.

    Would recommend.
