Ren'Py What do you look for in corruption games?

[makeitso]

Believable characters and scenarios. The challenge and reward of corruption is in developing people, relationships and situations, after all. They don't even have to go by Earth logic (Alien Space Bats, anyone?), but they do need to be internally consistent and well-rounded. At its best, "corruption" can be highly relatable as a journey of discovering and exploring sex and sexuality, so add "relatability" as a bonus to the above. This applies to adolescents and adults alike, which I'm mentioning because the game has a school-type setting.

I do look for specific kinks that I enjoy, but I have also very much enjoyed others writing about what they enjoy. You don't know what you don't know (turns you on)! Mind control specifically is something that I warmed up to later through games, because it was never very exciting to read about or watch, but it became extremely fun to roleplay. It slots right into power play, and can bypass elaborate roles and setups.

Finally, I should mention that games do need stand-out art these days to catch my eye. Too many generic toys on the market. Doesn't even need to be high-def, just different from the pack.

The first game where I realised that corruption was something I enjoyed was Akubur's classic - Princess Trainer. The way Jasmine starts off so uppity, and then gradually succumbs to her cravings, is just fantastic. Her resistance to the process, talking in her sleep, all wonderful elements.

Also Man of the House - the conversion of Veronica into a submissive slut is spectacular. It's especially satisfying when the corrupted character starts off as a proper bitch.


I like corruption together with sluttification.
I do enjoy it when the character is aware of the corruption and tries to resist.

In Deviant Discoveries, on other hand, the characters are unaware of how their being manipulated, but it's still great.

I like there to be submissive elements, but I don't enjoy games where other characters are just being arseholes to the corrupted girl. Elena's Life would be an example of such a game.

corruption vs manipulation.

I like, actual corruption.

Manipulation: occurs when you fool, trick, convince the other party to bend to your will.
Corruption: occurs when the other party BY THEIR CHOICE, bends to your will.

Initially, the two are I think interchageable. The difference comes down the road. When the previously goody-goody, becomes intrinsically bad", they have been corrupted. Few games, do this very well at all.

One that succeeds, Cohabitation.

https://f95zone.to/threads/cohabitation-v1-20-sid-valentine.1398/

Megan starts out so innocent, so unknowing and so unaware. She ends up, being a totally hooked, convinced she is in love with her asshole Uncle, utterly willing sex slave. (along with her mother, the Uncles SIL)

,

Concur with the above assessment as a great example of corruption. In fact, if you played cohabitation, the niece is corrupted and the SIL is manipulated. The slow changing of one's morals, desires, or inhibitions (daughter, mom, wife, aunt, SIL) is a lot more enjoyable to play rather than blackmail, forcing, drugs, or supernatural crap as a means. just my opinion. good luck! v/r Diego

Kinda late, but here are my two cents.
The appeal is the process and for me watching the target of slowly delving into depravity. I'm not talking about seeing a scene, but watching the target change.
A perfect example of this is insight of you, the best corruption/trainer game in here imho.
In it, you see Gloria change from a bitch to a communal cum dumpster. Through this, everything about her changes and you get to see it. From the way she addresses you to the way she acts around other dicks, everything changes gradually and you as the player get to see that change.

 

[ManlyManperorOfMankind]

I really like if the corruption is shown through clothes choice, as well as a change in behavior in game.
So if the corruption is a "slutty corruption" increasingly revealing outfits. If its a evil kind of corruption i would like to see a behavor change to the protagonist as well as in the bahavior to other characters.

as many have said, I look for a strong girl to be so completely dominated by the corruptor that she is forced to bend to the villain's ideals. I do prefer when they become demons after the corruption, as they not only changed their ideals but also became the greatest enemy of humanity, all due to the domination of the villain. it makes is much better if said fallen heroine goes after other humans during the story, bonus points if those are her former allies. games like village of nightmare https://f95zone.to/threads/village-of-nightmare-v1-6-akuochichance.2013/ do a great job on that. If i see a cheap shortcut such as hypnotism, a big brainwashing helmet or even drugs then I lose interest. the game that got me into corruption is this one

You must be registered to see the links

untranslated but great corruption in which a typical heroine fantasy party gets captured by the demon queen in a random city, separated, corrupted separately, the ones who fall turn into sexy demons and go on to help corrupt the others who are still resisting. by the end the main heroine a stereotypical female knight is so shattered after seeing all her friends corrupted that she also gave in. they went into the demon infested city as a party of demon hunting heroes and came out of it as a team of demons ready to attack their former kingdom alonside the demon queen, and all after being utterly dominated by the demon queen.

yooo thats what im saying haha
i even made a character like that on my small story pictures i do on pixvi a General who embraced her locked sadism urges and , went AWOL and took her most loyal soldiers and fights on the other side of the battle

For me, as with any good sex game the fetish should be part of the core gameplay/be part of the game.

Ambrosia can be played completely without succumbing to any naughty things, but getting slowly corrupted by the world is the "easy" way. You get more money, more items, you even get stronger in combat if I remember correctly.

Another kink example would be cosplay, where in some games wearing different clothes opens you different doors. Or even creampies, where either gathered cum can be used as a resource, or your spend cum increases your influence.

So from my point of view you should ask yourself what the player gains from the corruption?

Like, forget the porn, sex, and even story. Your game is completely blank, grey boxes, and the player just happens to know the mechanics. What is the corruption mechanic? Is each "girl" just a series of check-marks that the player ticks off and once he has them all is game-over (with check-marks I mean something like corruption levels/events)?

What does the player have to do to get to those check-marks? Hold CTRL in the story driven game? Click "talk" with her once a day? Make the right decision? Can he know what the right decision is, or is it moon-logic? Find and combine the right items? Does he have to venture into an action-combat dungeon, where he has to harvest mana from certain enemies as instructed by a tomb-stone, which can only be read after having completed the elfish-language-guide book?

Are the check-marks linear, or do they branch off? Like can I corrupt a girl into a maid serving me, a slave doing whatever I ask of them, or into a knowing partner in my crimes? Can I fail? Can I set up to bend her to be my partner, but I fail a minigame too often and end up with a emotionless slave (nobody likes to fail, but having some risk-reward is a good thing)?

Do girls depend on each other? Affect each other? Does having a girl under your control make controlling another girl easier? (I kinda like when girls get peer-preasured into corruption) I think it would also be fair to say that having one girl follow you on a leash makes the others more guarded. Or if you corrupt a girl to much, but forget to corrupt her best friend, the friend starts to hate you and maybe just runs away (as in no longer in the game).

Which doors does corruption open up to you? New areas? New girls? New mechanics (like crafting)? Can I use corrupted girls to sabotage/kill enemies? I'm an egoist, who wants to keep all the girls for himself, but some may actually like the idea to send a slave to court another guy, and either get him to fail, join you, or die. Imagine you build up to a big boss fight, but instead of fighting it you corrupt the right girl and send her to the boss, who lets himself easily get killed by her because he has a crush on her.

I personally like games where the player is actively making choices, but even if you're just making a linear, hold-CTRL-and-you-miss-it, visual novel, my questions should give you some ideas of what can make corruption interesting.

 

[OverShadow]

For my, i want a physical/outfit transformation, turning more slutty and with makeup or like a magical girl corruption hentai.
For example Corruption, Adventure High, Venus blood frontier, star knightess aura...

 

[Agent Team]

I don't know why but I am attracted to the kind of thing where after the girl gets corrupted they get a crotch tattoo and sometimes have a latex suit after that but usually just the former would be fine. Infectious Corruption, like once one girl has it they slowly spread it around, is another thing I find hot about this form of corruption but I also like this kind of corruption to have some restrictions on how it is spread (i.e. if one girl has it, they kiss another to initiate the corruption but more intense forms of intimacy would cause them to corrupt even further

 

[LongRoad]

What I find makes a good corruption game fall down to two main factors. The first being variety in how the sexually content unfolds. If every character progression was as followed: hand holding -> kissing -> touching -> sex then every character will feel the same. And the other factor is a lot of corruption games make characters slutty after the first time they have sex. I find fountain of mana to be my favourite corruption game as some routes will have sex sooner than other because of the type of situation the main character is in with turning the character slutty. While other route have sex later on but makes the character more slutty before they even have sex.

 

[Nightly2]

For me, a good corruption game is one where the corruption isn't just for the characters, but for the entire world. For example, when you increase corruption you can see things like regular npcs that you pass on the street getting harassed. Then you see them dressing in a more slutty fashion and so on until eventually walking down the street you see girls getting fucked down alleyways and others are lining up to join in. I like corruption games where the characters are the only ones affected just fine. But in my opinion, if there's a game out there where the world is getting corrupted, not just the characters, then that game is an A+ in my books.

Edit: I wanted to come up with a good example when I wrote this, but nothing specific came to mind at the time. Now it did. Kamikaze Ouka 2 is the perfect example of what I'm talking about. Basically with every battle Ouka loses, the school becomes more of a free for all playground for the bullies and criminals at the school she's protecting. This all eventually leads to the bad end and being able to see how the school becomes more out of her control is just *chef kiss* Perfect.

Another one that came to mind was A Village Targeted by Barbarians. If you lose a certain number of times, the barbarians take over and you immediately see the difference. Woman are getting taken on every street corner, there are slave auctions being held in the village square, and the love interests can be found around the village getting fucked by barbarians too. It's also an excellent showing of corruption taking hold of the world you're in.
