RPGM - Completed - The Dollhouse District [Final] [DOLLHOUSE]

Rating as of Final Version

Firstly... 1/5 as a sex game. This game is freaking ass when it comes to sex and H-scene stuff. There are some small moments here and there that gets you excited if you're in this category for mind control, emotionless, forced, etc but your penis will soon die down in less than a second. Seriously the scenes at first had some camera angles and different positions but later on it's the same position with the camera at different angles. Kind of like a figure you have and you just rotate it around.

The few animations that were available is laughably bad. It's on a loop that at the end asks if you want to play the loop again. Not that you'd want to because it's just the girl shaking as if there's a penis pistoning her except there is no penis nor man. The vagina's also closed up. There's I think only 2 animations that did include a man but then there's no penis... Brah.

Now why is this rated as 3/5? As a game this is actually not bad. The story is intriguing, the world is kind of cool, and the characters are okay. There are some borrowed girls from other anime/games but I'd say it stands up alone pretty well.

My issue is that it focuses on other characters and events a bit too much. I would prefer if the protagonist is able to spend more time with the three girls that he likes and is interested in but then again the game only runs for 3 days.

That's right, the game is incredibly short. You'll probably finish this in one sitting. Like maybe 4-5 hours? Shorter if you skip the sex-related optional stuff. I was expecting the sex stuff to improve over time like "Oh they added a dood in the animation!" Then you realize it didn't add anything.

Now rating this as a game, the combat is pretty simple and easy as an RPG. Nothing fancy but one problem I had was at a certain point of the game, I had to fight multiple enemies alone, for a period of time. It was pretty bad that I was chugging pots like there's no tomorrow. I thought I was missing out on something like party members but no, the dev expects you to do these fights solo and nearly dying each fight. I guess the dev didn't bother improving the combat aspect of the game.

I met with one bug but considering it's a sex-related side quest, I didn't care for it. Probably better, save a few minutes of my life.

Story Lore - Intriguing +2
Characters - +1
Combat - 0
Sex - Doesn't exist in my opinion. The times I felt a rise, I just went to look for porn elsewhere.

Great game! Very well implemented (and very dark) themes of mindcontrol and slavery integrated in a story that kind of made sense. My only complain would be that the dev really need to decide what is the moral aligment of the MC. Like, in some scenes he says he is fighting against the evil organization, and then you have like 1 hour of gamplay of him doing everything the evil organization would do without any remorse about it. He really need to define if he wants him to go full generic protagonist (wich i dont think would work with this kind of game) or the fun option, FULL EVIL PSYCHO. Please do the later. Or a spinn off where we would play as the evil organization agents would be nice too. Also, im surprised we still had to clarify this, but no, its not a NTR game. The only part where someone steal one of your girls, is a blowjob from a guy who ended up being kind of your bro, and a kidnappING attempt that ended up with the guy doing dead, so no. Yea, its true the first day has more sex scenes for npcs than the MC, but then he goes full rapist mode from day 2 onward, so if you are into that sort of thing, highly recommended game.

There's too much of other people getting action rather than the MC. And the game has so little agency that I don't know why its on RPGMaker. You can't even free roam cause every area not relevant to the checklist given at the start of every quest is entirely locked to you. Its like a Kinetic Novel pretending to be an RPG.

Basically the game is good. There are many bugs but it's not the latest version in the main thread.
The story line ended very suddenly and I think the creator didn't want to give more work load for it.

DollHouse District
so far was very enjoyable and a breath of fresh air for someone who likes to indulge in mind control themed games.


Theme/Story
Easy to get behind...
You are Lucas, a renowned Assassin Class adventurer who goes to high school and along the line during a mission stumbles upon the chance of gaining magic. From this very point on more and more things unfold in story of the town.
Overall nothing too original but I found myself liking how it was implemented into the game and how it made me care about it, which is good.


Game Length
So far even though you could consider the game a Prequel to a bigger Story, the game by itself has a solid amount of content to get a taste of it. I myself ended up playing for roughly 4hrs which in my opinion was a satisfying length.


Ease of play
Combat is not the main focus of this game and the beginning can be a bit grindy i guess, but there aren't a lot of mandatory fights in the game.
So i found myself not worrying too much about having a strategy going on or having to be stacked on potions to fight a war of attrition.


Complaints

- Like other people.... I don't like being shown a lot of scenes/moments where you (the player) don't get the action.... (yes it might be part of the story) ....ESPECIALLY the one where Leo goes into your house
BUT the Player having fun is always one of the main goals for a game

- You have to wait a bit and progress until you actually get to see some sexual content. It didnt take too long but i understand that some people prefer it to be faster, which I assume will probably be different in the Sequel.
- starting from the first break-in mission... its very hard to see yourself (you can't see yourself at all) and you end up not knowing where you are or go (invisibility)
TIP: If you play on PC then use the mouse click to coordinate where you exactly want to go.
- as mentioned by others... the game so far is very linear with no path building choices (there are at least choices that let you acquire some girls in a certain part of the story)
-Me wishing there was more to do, like a certain degree of independence, where you can use the stolen tacks from the company to enslave girls you find on the street and so on

So overall since I had fun and am waiting for the Sequel, my overall rating for now will be 4Stars.

You might look at the tags and be interested in this game, but... after playing for few hours it's mostly about watching other males have sex with mind controlled women.
They might apply to MC later, but after having his former female party member, that he was hiding in his home to protect her, gets mind controlled into giving blowjob to his old "friend"/other former male party member and then MC walking almost into them and not realizing anything was a point where I just couldn't go any longer, it's just boring and stupid.
Game itself is super linear, you do main quests and can do some side quests and that's it. It's super on the rail, you have no choices except if you want to do side quest or not.
That all being said, worst part of this game is that you are being shown things that MC isn't there for. I really hate when authors do that, it's poor story telling.

I enjoyed this game it was a little disappointing because it is just a prologue to a longer story in development and the "other site links" from what I could tell don't mention this game.

so enjoyable story and gameplay hopefully it gets the sequel that is mentioned at the end of the game
