HTML Completed To Borrow a Neighbor [v1.01] [aaaac]

[Nobody Cares]

That's "To Borrow A Slave" different game entirely. Higher budget too.

I can't compete with this kind of production value

You know it's funny but that honestly never occurred to me. It was a big feature of that smart phone possession app visual novel a few years back.

What game are you referring to?

 

[Amariithynar]

That is a hypothetical tag that would apply to this game, but I've never seen that tag anywhere else on F95 and it's not in the tag list. When it gets added to searchable I'll certainly add it.

I'd argue it should be added now, personally, since it is still an accurate genre tag that those looking into the game should be able to see.

Change! ~Anoko ni Natte Kunkun Peropero~

It was a lot older than I remember, oh well. Guy gets a smart phone body swapping app. Likes to swap into girl's bodies while they are sleeping and visit himself.

Ok, I took some more time to try a few differents paths and see all the endings. I have to say this is an impressive effort. The paths are very different from one another and they intertwine in very interesting ways. It is definetly worth it to play through the game multiple times. The sex scenes are also nice and hot, even if they are not really my cup of tea fetish wise.
You also brought a complete experience to your audiance and that alone deserves a round of applause.

The only thing I didn't enjoy as much are the characters. We do not spend as much times with the girls as I wish we did before getting to the possessions. Some more interraction with the mc or among each other might have helped fleshing them out more. A little more conflict and tension around the act of possessing someone else's body might have also made the experience a little more involving. I understand the amount of effort this would require, but it can make the difference between nice and great.

All things considered, a solid CYA game. Well done

Thanks! It always makes my day to get feedback. I'm glad it worked as intended!

Yeah for the first point that was sort of a side effect of me rushing to get to the good parts so to speak. If I ever get the time/energy a bit more interaction between everyone is a great idea. Maybe they all meet while doing laundry? The MC's intentionally pretty blank so there's only so much real interaction you can have with the heroines, but I could probably think of something. A bit more interaction after each possession probably wouldn't hurt either.

For the second thing you definitely aren't wrong. It relates to a sort of troubled development cycle. See I made weeks 1 and 2 in a single month. Then I took a months long break and came back to finish up by doing week 3. The problem was that week 3 crossed over some invisible line from hot to creepy for me. I think it was something about doing other people in someone else's body. So I was not having a good time making the week 3 content. So I focused on making things as lighthearted as possible and smoothed over the "conflict and tension" so I wouldn't have to deal with it.

I'm not sure the best way to bring it up? Maybe meet with the girl you plan to possess in week 3, almost use it as a chance to do so and then stop disgusted with yourself? Or maybe each girl has their own way of hinting that they know something's up and they indirectly ask you to stop before you go to far? Which you then ignore and feel about? Or maybe stronger feelings of guilt each time you do it?

The addiction angle, and realizing you need to get rid of the stone before you use it again was my attempt at addressing it, but it apparently wasn't as strong as it could be.

Thanks again for taking the time to give feedback!

Tough call... it really depends on how believable you want it to be. There is such a thing as too realistic, especially in porn! If one of the girls realises she was possessed by the MC, realistically she should be terrified beyond any capacity for rational thought. Keeping things relatively light hearted was a good call.
If you want to give it more impact, since the MC and the girls are all on good terms, they might try to approach him and ask "how" and above all "why" does he do that. The MC may have the chance to admit his errors and face his guilt, saying that even he had little idea of what he was doing and that never-ever meant to do any harm, etc.
It is a lot of drama and not everyone likes drama. We write porn and our sole goal should be give our audiance a boner (or making them wet, we are for equal opportunities).
It would be perhaps fun if the possessed was forced into the possessor's body. That would open a whole new realm of comedic and erotic possibilities "I'll show you how to fuck me right."
I'm getting carried away (which is good).

Yeah centering it on the relationship with the heroine in question is probably the best way. If they know exactly what's going on anything other than terror just doesn't make sense. They'd probably intimate they know something is going on and ask them to stop even if they don't know exactly what's happening. This would remind the MC that "oh yeah they are dealing with another person here, not a toy." The MC might admit they did something wrong, and say they never meant to hurt the heroine. It's a fun idea but like you say doesn't fit the tone of the game well.

Oh yeah that would be a darn good time. Sadly it would be a bit outside the theme of the game. There was a very specific reason that you don't get with the girls you possess. They are all looking for something other than the MC, and the game all but says that trying too hard to be what you aren't can be harmful. Also to sort of invert how these games normally go. Also the structure of the game basically means that if it happens it has to be it's own path, just too many related scenes.

But if I was going to do it, I'd probably do it like something about the possessed getting forced into the possessor's body makes them either horny, or slightly addicted to using the stone like the MC is. This is both because Alice/Diane would never cheat on their significant others and to prevent May from beating the crap out of you.

So if that's how it's happening, I'd still say things wouldn't unroll into just straight sex. Diane would be more interested in seeing MAGIC! right in front of her, and would do a lot of not quite sexual experiments to see how things work. Alice would probably take on a big sister sub type role. She'd see the whole possessing someone else as a cry for help and figure introducing you to just how good surrender can feel would help. You still aren't getting near Max. May would for a moment be annoyed at having your body and excited to try taking control during love making. Then she'd realize what she enjoys about sex is the contest during the act, and try to get you to act more dominant rather than just rolling over.

It's a fun thought experiment. Thanks for getting carried away!

I think the game is very interesting though not really for me fetish-wise. I would have probably would have far more liked it if the MC had a route were he could use the info he gained from the stone to end up hooking up with the girls. I'm a big sucker for Milfs so having route where Ms. Alice falls for the MC would greatly increase my interest, though I understand thats not really inline with the theme of the game after reading the other comments on here. Glad I tried the game, though I was a little sad to realize the game wasn't about the MC getting together with one of his neighbors.

Thanks for taking the time to tell me you liked it, even if it wasn't for you. It's always nice to know someone is actually playing these. I can certainly see the appeal of a game where you do get with the neighbors, I too very much enjoy MILFS. That's the way most people would of made the game I think, just not what interested me personally, at least not enough to write 74.5K words about it.

It's interesting you mention Alice, I have a poll running on the game's home website and Alice is the most popular character. I guess people just really like MILFs.

The most frustrating thing for me was that you have virtually no control. When you hear the plot being that you possess someone, the mind will automatically go to " I get to control someone's actions".

You get a whopping 2 choices in the entire game. Who you are going to spectate, and if you continue using the stone.

While the MC gets to control some things, you as the player have no agency over the actions. The MC having them go to the mirror or use a toy is described to you with 0 input from the player.

Other than that it is simply a voyeur game. You get to watch them have sex in first person mode and get sensation feedback.

I really would hesitate to describe this as a Possession game and more as a Voyeur game.

That said. As with many games, this was made to fit the vision the dev had for it and as such I will not call it a bad game, just one that didn't match my expectations when reading the plot synopsis.

 

[aaaac]

Yeah I can sort of see that. In a CYOA game like this every choice introduces more writing, especially if like in this one most of the choices get referenced later. The original idea was to have an "explore the room" segment where you could interact with different parts of the neighbor's room and get different responses based on who you had possessed before, if you'd looked before, etc. I dropped this because I was already having a hard time with the writing load and I couldn't think of interesting reactions to have to various mundane room things. There's only so many ways to say "Wow Diane has a bunch of games"

I figured making sure the decisions you do make were important was a better experience, but I definitely get that it's less immersive that way.

The voyeurism is sort of the point narratively? The player character is described as drifting through life, and only makes a change when they see how things could be different. But I get that might not be the part of the possession content spectrum that people were expecting. I probably didn't describe the game great either, but hey I'm making porn here not advertising copy.

Anyway, sorry the game wasn't for you. Hmm I don't know any other good possession games sadly, student transfer maybe? I'd say town of magic but that's very much about getting possessed.
