HTML - Completed - The Good Son [v1.0.3] [Lobsterman9999]

Honestly, a breath of fresh air with these games. The pacing of the transformation is paced very well, and (mostly) makes sense, as well as giving options as to what you want to look like. The overall story as well as the characters are decently written. You can also choose who you want to pursue or if you want to go full-on slut mode. Lots of clothing/accessories to choose from as well as very hot use of pics and gifs. A must-play if you're a fan of the genre.

The overall feeling of this game is very good. It has a way of exposing the situations and building up the player transformation that works really well for me. It's slow and you'll need to repeat actions all the time, but other than that is mostly fine. If you're into sissy/feminization stuff you'll like it.

I've not posted a review on this site before because it's not really my thing, but I just want to say as someone who has consumed this kind of media for a long time and has kinda gotten disillusioned with a lot of the 'tropes' of force-fem and stuff, it was... actually super refreshing to see so much different stuff in this game.

Like, I won't say how this game handles story is like masterclass or anything, because the Mob stuff is pretty silly, and the escalation of events that get the MC to start crossdressing is a bit silly too, but that just comes with the territory. Outside of that starting point though, the game is actually pretty supportive of letting you go a positive route in regards to the MC's sexuality and gender identity. It gives them a chance to own it and decide that they are a transwoman if they so choose, and the game becomes very supportive of that decision.

And while it doesn't always hit the mark and I wouldn't call it like, groundbreaking or anything, it is very earnest and there is genuinely a few heartwarming moments I can think back on in the Trans Girl route, and the fact that a game in this genre lets you experience TF in a more positive way if you want is the most pleasantly surprised I have ever been with a game on this site.

Anyways, the story is porn stuff- but depending on the route you take, it can be some shockingly comfy porn stuff and I just kinda wanted to shout out the dev for that. There is very rarely a moment where control is ripped out of the players hands (it's almost entirely based on your prior choices) in terms of what content you see, and that's shocking. Even if this game doesn't get updated for a long time, I've really enjoyed what is there and it's super worth checking out.

I know these transformation games are a dime a dozen but this one really stands out. The pacing is awesome. The characters are interesting and they are "played" by consistent porn stars. I really hate it when they are inconsistent. For example, in this game Katie is always Sasha Grey. It helps the immersion a lot. Its not grindy. The progression makes sense. Hands down the best game in the genre that I've ever played.

This game is so good. I love it. Especially the betrayal story. Hope this updates quickly. I've been waiting for months XD. My only hope with this game is that after you complete the story it becomes a sandbox and doesn't just give you an ending reached page.
The game is a bit hard to progress through in the first play but later it becomes really easy.

I loved it.
Huge plus on the character customization let's call it that, great different story paths, lovely kinks, mid on clothes selection but they served they purpose and it was nice getting some hidden ones.
Also, would be just perfect if repeatable event scenes would change based on your character customization, but it's a lot of work to work on such polish. Other than that great game in it's genre.
The story is well written as well, although ends on a cliffhanger but makes wait for what's to come.
Good job dev, keep it up! <3

Review as of 0.9.2:
One of the best if not the best feminization game out there. The story is packed with lots of meaningful choices in terms of love interests and kinks you want to explore. The amount of content is a lot with all these different paths to explore with many sexy scenes. Most of the characters are well written and they are distinct. The visuals are more consistent mostly and they are very well chosen. Writing is solid. The game has been mostly bug free in its development with no game-breaking bugs.
Negative: Some content gets behind in development time to time leading to boring clicks to get tocontent.

[v0.9.2]
As of the time of this writing, the game is ALMOST to the main climax, and I’m extremely excited to finish it!

If you’ve played a tf twine game, you know generally what you’re in for, but as a long time tfgamessite lurker I can confirm this is one of the better ones for sure!

Most tf games have two branches for most events, boring “resistance” and full slut mode. This game genuinely has different paths that bear more on your personal kinks, preference ect. and it engages with you pretty plainly.

Personally, the Olivier path where he levels with you is a standout, also how versatile certain character’s paths are depending on yours (eg. Susan, Todd, Olivia ect.) the game feels really reactive and that feels good!

A lot of tf games reek of the makers age, and sometimes playing them as a younger guy can feel… odd? This one is very elder gen z, younger millenial, and I feel like it was made using vernacular and speech that “makes sense” to younger (but still adult) players. I personally love that! But it is definitely preference.

Version: v0.9.1

Overall HTML games are really not that impressive compared to other game engines, yet despite that i had a great deal of fun playing this game.
The story is clear and fluid, the art is just porn but the dev has chosen a good selection of clips and pictures and the progression of the story isnt too drawn out and grindy when compared to other HTML games who add pointless grind to artificially inflate game time.

Overall a good transformation game.

The best transformation game ever.
One of the best HTML porn games ever made.
Impressive amount of story and content.
Great sissification games that manage to involve the "forced" aspects and you have a ton of paths and choices regarding where you want to go.

In the Last week ive played this game 3 times and each time it feels diffrent because each path are unique and can be very comlex . The is the most engaion story i have ever read and played and I just hope that this does not fall in the same wholes to other HTML games where it feels like an endless looop.
My biggest and only issue is that it is hard to see the diffrent possible paths unless u literally write important shit down and Save every single week because I have missed so many different opportunities and scenes. The game does have a notpad guide but it only nudges you to main story beats.

The Good Son is a very good game. It may be similar to other games that focus on similar things and kinks such as NTR and sissification and feminization and interracial and others, but it does this in a way that makes it #1 in my opinion.

The game also has a game loop that makes it quite fun and not exhausting, featuring a day-night cycle and a 7-day week cycle that keeps the weeks fresh by unlocking certain areas and events at certain days and times. The game is also quite fair in how it treats the failure condition. You always feel like you have to make enough money to pay off the mob, but it's at a very good balance where it doesn't interrupt the game flow or become annoying.

I would also say the uncomplicated mechanics of the game very much help the enjoyability. There are no complex systems and just enough that is necessary for story and progression.

The Good Son shines with writing above all else. Somehow this nsfw game manages to tell a pretty compelling story, which is primarily enabled with good and lifelike characters. It also has a ton of content, way above the average in terms of diverging paths and density.

One of the best HTML porn games ever made.

The BEST transformation game I have played

The story is really good and progress very nicely, not too slow and not too fast.
A lot of gifs that make sense with the scenes
A few big decisions that change the story, so you could replayed it.
Easy game, just a little big of grinding to trigger the events and so you can progress the story.

Really recommend it

One of the top 5 HTML game I have played.
The story is good, it makes sense.
The gifs and videos are well made.
There are multiple directions for life. And worth to play many times.
I hope the story can make the girlfriend Susan go between black and white.

The amount of story and content is impressive for a game not even complete. The scenes aren't just hot to read but a variety and perfectly contextual gifs play for every encounter. Even repeating scenes change constantly.

The game let's you play it in a number of ways and has a lot of different endings. Not too difficult and overall there's enough constant new content and progress that the grind is quite enjoyable. Best real porn game I've ever played.

So amazing game!

Interesting story, character development, especially the main character. Great selection of videos, photos and GIFs.
The best game in the genre with such tags. The variability of the passage of the storyline. You can replay several times.

Overall a pretty good game.
The progression is extremely natural, even though of course there would be plot holes and rushed developments.
In-game characters made me pretty invested in them its ridiculous

great game, been following from very early develpoment & the progress is pretty consistent & astounding, story is decent & flows nicely.
grind is a bit long but payoff imo
has many paths to choose from(romance,cuck,sharing etc.) & definitely require "save scumming" or pressing the back button(which i greatly appreciate); love the touch of additional details & information being available only through exploring multiple options
Abundance of choice & also many achievements available.
Requires multiple playthroughs however, to get the "endgame" path achievements (or manipulating through consoles)

reading is a definite must in this game as choices will snowball down the road kekw

only additional feature i hope is a way to customize more additional details for people looking to replay w/o having to keep a folder of saves ( doh this could wait after the endgame has been more fleshed out )

I really like this game and the theme in general, but it's extremely annoying how most games treat transsexuality as something forced and full of fetishes built into it.
I would love it if MC found out about his transsexuality with his friend, the sequel between the two is very exciting and it really excites me to see what happens between them.
Meanwhile the MC's girlfriend is unbearable, her path is too annoying, wanting to force fetishes like cuckold, sharing and other things at all times. When I received the choice to end the relationship with her I only get a black screen, that is, I have to follow the beta male path to continue playing.
I still wait for the day that a game appears that MC becomes sissy/shemale/etc of his own volition.

I've tried this game multiple times over the course of its development and I think this latest playthrough after the recent patch may be my last attempt.

The game just isnt very sexy to put it bluntly. It never really feels like the protagonist is too far outside his comfort zone. It may be the first time I've ever seen slow corruption be too slow - if you could even call this game corruption at all. Building up to the sex scenes is usually a fantastic idea but by the time you get there in this game you feel more frustrated than aroused.

The game also has the same problem a lot of games on this site have which is far too many paths/love interests. None of them feel well developed even with the game as slow as it is. The reason is you're bouncing between various characters while progressing through the game. Also depending on the love interest you may only have one way of interacting with them for very long stretches of the game and that one interaction isn't even varied with art or dialog.

Overall I'd say very average and not worth grinding through the hours it'll take to reach the end of the current content.
