Unity - The Halo Project [v0.8a] [hushhushgames]

v0.8a

This game falls into the same trap a lot of other mind control/hypnosis games fall into: You get too powerful too quickly and there's no enjoyment progressing. That may be a weird thing to say considering that's the whole point of these power fantasy games, but when the lackluster H scenes and the boring back-and-forths starts sticking their head, the whole thing starts becoming a chore.

The gameplay is straightforward: start with a Halo, attach to girl and constantly fuck to gain obedience exp, try not to gain too much attention doing so, get upgrades and other machines to expedite the process, repeat. By itself its a good start; Some areas are too crowded to use the halo, each girl has unlockables that help you progress as you control them more, it sets itself up as a sort of puzzle-stealth game.
Unfortunately, the upgrades makes the game extremely easy to the point that I didn't have much of a reason to go for everyone. Not only that, but it got boring repeating the sex options everyday in order to increase the control level. Even worse, getting the full control level on a person doesn't help as they still raise suspicion when using the halo on someone else. The only way to not earn suspicion is to turn them into a "void queen", a process not only convoluted, but at that point you've gotten so powerful that there's no point in bothering. It doesn't help that there's no end goal and there's barely any interactions between people, making the whole ordeal feel pointless.

As stated before, the H scenes are also boring, compounded by the fact that a majority of them are from spamming the sex button to increase the control level. There's some variety whether you're using the halo or not, if they're "soulless", but otherwise I didn't find it engaging.

There's currently a good collection of ideas here that could potentially make this a decent game. However, between the lackluster mechanics and the lack of an end goal, I don't have high hopes for this game.

It's a tech demo, with screenshots of models from Koikatsu.

Non existant dialogue and interactions.

You put a machine on their head, fuck'em, repeat.

Soulless game as of now and nothing more than a proof of concept.

Come back in a couple of years.

Interesting concept, not fully realized yet. 2D but pretty linear playthrough as of now. I think it want to be more of a puzzle game with some stealth elements, but right now neither exist in any real form. On my list to keep an eye on otherwise.

Giving 5 stars for i expect great things from this game.
Has potential needs to actualize it!
The game is just empty and soulless at this point but it could be better

Since there is a 200 characters minimum i will add some not that important commentary about the game play it self.
Getting noticed while bringing the girls home is the most difficult part early game untill you get some points and a fook machine. After that everything is just easy too easy and too fast.
There is no difficulty curve that makes it interesting.
There are no vital interactions between me and characters. The girls wont give me a quest to earn there trust so they can follow me. Just put the magic device on and she is your zombie! Ok but give me something sweet to do with her before and after she is brain washed. Not talking plain sex!

This rant has been enough. Thank you!

I think this game is progressing adequately, although it is true that at the moment there is no puzzle in which you have to trick a character to get him out of a safe zone by manipulating other characters, there are similar things and a bit of a trick to kidnapping and/or abusing the girls, also, although the models are not incredible, they are good enough, you have relatively varied positions and there are several girls, so you can entertain yourself for a while. I wanted something more bondage-related and they included the machine to train the girls, I think some customization like being able to put gags or handcuffs on them from a certain level would be great, but time will tell, at the moment it is improving, there could also be characters that were immune to the helmet initially and you had to do a mini-puzzle or improve it. Anyway, I'm just talking for the sake of talking, because I haven't seen the route sheet yet, but I can think of many ideas for this game and I think it has potential. I give it 4 stars for what it promises, although right now I'm already having fun and I know that the game lacks content.

Okay, as a tech demo, this is alright. Keep in mind, the dev is not kidding when he says "Tech Demo", as in, you can walk around, slap a mind-control Halo on subjects, have about 4-5 sex scenes with them, and that's practically it. There's some minor perks to unlock for the Halo, but nothing to write home about.

One thing that does suck is needing to return to your home to recharge the Halo every ten seconds or less, but, with so little content, it about evens out.

In short, one to keep an eye on, especially if mind control/corruption is your thing, but it's got a good, long way to go.

I wanted to put 4, but put 3 because in my opinion the engine is completely unsuitable and not convenient
Now for the most obvious shortcomings as a demo version
1. The hero regularly flies over textures. Landing not foreseen
2. There are no normal explanations of what icons mean and how to act. I still don’t understand what 530% accumulated there in my longest passage (before I flew through the textures)
There are many other flaws but these 2 make the game just unplayable

As mind control is a major fetish of mine so i am based in favor of mind control games.
You have been warned.

I think the halo project has the potential to be a good game.
Right now it is a buggy mess with very limited gameplay.

The game itself is very simple:
Talk to woman. Press buttion, Fuck her.
Increase control over woman.
The story parts imply that in the future control certain woman will give us advantage's beyond sex but as i cannot state clearly enough.
It has the potential to become a good game.
It isnt there yet.

Still i am putting this on my list of games to play when released(Or atleast had several updates)
