Seeking Trial and Error / Pitfalls / Bad Endings (and Soft Bad Endings)

Hi!
Been trying to find some games with any of the title perks, but the tagging system is not helping me here >:

Games where the odds are stacked against the player, usually, and you have to try over and over to make the right set of choices in order to reach the end, even if the game itself is not that long but has a bunch of setbacks that you learn through playing. Not only games with difficult combat that end up with the MC raped if you lose, but stuff like picking the wrong choice, wrongly solving a puzzle, or even entering the wrong room.

Ross Quest comes to mind in this sense. You blindly pick paths and solve encounters with consequences ranging from fucking to actual bad endings and then you try again and explore different routes. I kinda enjoy this "pitfall" sensation where it's just unfair, you lose, get an H scene and do another run.

Of course this involves bad ends, but I am interested in finding soft bad ends or debuffs that just make everything harder and lead to the actual bad end. For example, in Lab Sweeper there are states in which everything on the map gets changed to a vibrator and you can't tell them apart, ultimately leading you to losing the run. Stuff like getting impregnated, parasitized, bloated, full of eggs and such is also good!

I know that there are games like Corruption of Champions, Trials in Tainted Space or Degrees of Lewdity, but these sandbox games are usually a little bit too wide for my liking, and even if they give the player lots of freedom, I usually prefer a more linear set of choices with their consequences.

I prefer 2D to 3D and usually prefer little to no plain-rpg combat in games, but these are just preferences that I'm willing to put aside if the other stuff is there!

Can you help me here please? Thanks!!

Thank you! I stumbled upon the thread while checking the forum before posting but I wanted to be a tad more specific. Will definitely check the games and report back. Thanks again~

Haven't tried this one yet, but will add it to the list.

To avoid spamming the thread I will update this post with impressions so far.

  • Lost Chapter: Did a few runs, pretty solid, despite having combat involved and being a bit random at times, the sort of "small set of choices with lewd outcomes" at every turn make it pretty enjoyable. Art and themes are good! Gonna be playing a little more.
  • Threshold Road: Style is putting me off a bit but will try it to see if I can put that aside if the themes fit
  • Nekomata: Interesting!! Will definitely give it a whirl
  • Iris Quest - The Goblin Curse: Played a couple runs. A bit too random for my liking but the art and different choices are pretty nice. Will try to get the different endings
  • Time Implosion: Art is definitely not there for me and while I was thinking about less realistic settings (fantasy/scifi) this could be good if it's well executed.

Degrees of Lewdity is pretty great! I just discovered it thanks to this thread.

Have you played Violated Princess? Action RPG where you can lose every battle, get violated and keep playing. You can also get pregnant by men or monsters and bear their children, and even this doesn't end the game.

(We can't link the game here, because rule 7)

Technically, if you wanted to, Fear and Hunger would fit the criteria perfectly. But don't expect any H-scenes other than losing and dying.

I knew about Violated Heroine (and Violated Hero, unrelated but way too similar names lol) and AFAIK Violated Princess is related to VH, right? Might take a look at it as well!

Thank you both
