HTML - Whoremaker [v25 Alpha1] [Dopefish]

I felt the need to write a review for Whoremaker after it randomly resurfaced years later. To be honest, it features a very specific trope that interests me: power exchange. I’m particularly drawn to scenarios where you are technically the boss, but your employees dominate and slowly corrupt you. However, I have to be objective. Compared to modern HTML5 games, the visuals are quite dated.

As the name suggests, the theme is running a brothel—it’s a pure management game. That said, there isn’t much actual "management" to speak of. It’s mostly just clicking the "work" button over and over, saving up money for upgrades, and then going back to clicking. The game essentially forces you to sell your own body; otherwise, you simply can't make enough money to progress.

The only real story and character interactions are found in the sub/sissy route. Other slaves you acquire lack meaningful interaction. Aside from the first slave’s femdom/feminization route and one guy’s sissy route, there isn't much interactivity. I believe the game needs more work, specifically more encounters and more engaging gameplay mechanics. For instance, the segments where you sell yourself to female customers don't change based on your character’s level of feminization. Only one character’s behavior toward you changes as you progress, and even then, it’s not a significant shift. The stats feel somewhat meaningless in their current state.

However, games that combine brothel management with the protagonist being dominated are very rare. If you have a specific interest in this niche, it’s definitely worth a look. If femdom or feminization content is your thing, you might enjoy it, but keep in mind that it’s a bit behind the standards of today's HTML games.

If you are straight, this is a disappointing game for you. Options are limited so they don't recommend you turn off the other choices, but you quickly notice there are choices constantly trying to push you down the sub/sissy route.

You also don't really get closer with your slaves, and most of the interactivity is just ripped from older, far superior html games from the 2010s.

Most html games from that era still around, are now massive with plenty of options with tons of mods with all sorts of kinks, some even allow you to instantly generate images from your descriptions, while this one is still stuck in the past.

Giving it 2 stars only because the bones of a game is there, and there maybe there are a minority of a minority of bi subs that also like to dom just girls but don't know the pletora of better games out there. But honesty, I think this game just lack direction on what it wants to be.

v24

Its pretty rare to find a game that can appeal to bisexuals, so its nice when you get that as optional content. The rest of the game is a simple, if somewhat repetitive slave management game, its nothing too inspiring, but it works well enough. I would say that the best part of this game is the process of corrupting your slaves more and more. Plus, it had a decent amount of porn images going for it, even if they are being used in an uninspiring way.

Considering this game is abandoned. I would only recommend you to download and play only if you are interested. Because the game cut off at the middle point where things start to pick up steam.

This game has a generic story simple game mechanics and very few gameplay mechanics. Still somehow the game is pretty fun because it is short and sweet the moment you are tired of the lack of gameplay it is already over.

This game started my fascination with porn games years ago on tfgames and it is one of my favorite ever. I love amount of content, corrupting others and subtle yet avoidable way to corrupt yourself "accidentally", one of the first game that was truly "bi-friendly". Even if some bug occurred it wasn't big deal. Maybe I am overrating this game but god damn it, this is my personal opinion and I truly stand by it! Masterpiece.

I love this game, excellent game play and options. Thank you for not letting it be come abandoned you are the best dopefish! I love the fact that there is player/mc fem options but not required. Keep up the great work!

Reading this thread took me to their discord and I'm thrilled to realise that this great game is again being worked on. In its current release, it's already vast game, well balanced for a genuine, no "backscumming" gameplay that, with the appropriate automation provided to avoid excessive clicking, can become pretty fast (and addictive).

To balance the fast pace, there are multiple threads evolving in parallel, often competing for the same events, which slows things down and gives you a great sense of progression. Again - things are pretty well balanced for a relaxed playthrough, with minimal micromanagement, but where your choices of where to invest your money can still decide whether you succeed or fail. There are enough upgrades to keep you spending until the end of the game - in fact, enough that you may not be able to purchase them all until you finish paying your debt, especially if you choose to roleplay your characters instead of using them to always go for the most financially rewarding actions. This, along with the fast pace and lack of "painful" grinding, makes for game that can easily be replayed multiple times.

All characters have unique traits to them, and a hint that unique "abilities" can be open to each of them in future development. Adding more prostitutes to your brothel isn't just a matter of growing numbers, there's attention to detail there, which makes the game more interesting.

I can't say whether this is a unique game in its style - but it's pretty well achieved. Considering I'm nearing 20 hours of fun with a game that doesn't claim to be complete - and still haven't reached the end of its content - I'm giving it the full five.

Overall, the game isn't too bad. The story is decent, and the scenes are varied and well written. The game also isn't too complicated and pretty easy to learn. However, there are some pretty big drawbacks. For one, the game is very grindy and spending money on your girls doesn't really seem to gain you much in return. One action will start off making you $20, while later on it could make you $30-$40, even after investing thousands of dollars into improving them. Meanwhile, your MC's actions can make you $60-$100 easily. All this money is of course used to pay an ever-increasing dept payment and upgrades which of course cost thousands of dollars, meaning you'll have to repeat the same actions hundreds of times to progress. Furthermore, there are lots of random events at the end of the week that either do nothing or harm you significantly. One time I got the event that caused my girl to lose all of her energy making her useless the following week. I got that event about 6 weeks in a row. These events are also what you need if you want to go down the feminization route, and because it's all RNG you could go years in-game without seeing them unless you spam the back button until you get the event. Finally, there's the images. They just don't match up with the girls a majority of the time. While I know it's an inherent flaw with IRL pictures instead of using custom art, it could still be done better.

I played this because I saw it recommend on some other site, and it introduced me to this one. It's very focused on trans stuff, and i like a little trans stuff but not a lot. I feel like it was hard to get M/M stuff where you were still the dominant party, too, which I would have liked. But overall it was great and very erotic.

Not a bad brothel sim. I'm too vanilla for a lot of the kink in this one, but after turning all of it off possible, the game was completely fine. However, the game currently has two very distinct problems that go hand-in-hand: action efficiency and return-on-investment.

The action efficiency issue revolves around the make money action the main character can take. This action seems to make you $30-50. Training a girl on the other hand, whether in submissiveness or sex skills, appears to have no or very little return. In addition, it burns one of their whoring actions as well. As a result, you're burning a minimum of $50-100 in return for almost nothing. This feels extremely wrong in a brothel sim. Training girls should be fun and profitable, not sub-optimal.

Return on investment is a similar issue. Investing money into your girls to make them sexier doesn't seem to actually make them make increased money. A little transformation is fun, but in a brothel sim game it should also be profitable. Players should be incentivized to spend money on their girls in order to net larger profits in the future. What's the point of spending money with no potential return?

Nevertheless, with a little balance tweaking and expanded content, I could see myself coming back to this one. The interface is fairly efficient, skipping repetitive content is easy, and there's an adequate diversity of events (though there can never be enough). More unique events for each girl could dramatically improve the game and as that seems to be the current direction, it seems promising.

3/5 - Decent waste of time
~3 hours long (as of v23)

Gameplay is brothel manager. It's simple but mildly difficult - you do have to slightly keep your brain engaged. If you lose you can ignore and continue playing.
That said, the porn is good. The text is good, as are the real porn gifs. You have two porn storylines here - training your whores and training yourself. Training your whores is about 70 scenes. Training yourself is gay or sissy storyline with about 10 or 15 scenes, respectively. Training yourself is optional, but, like the other reviews point out, if you disable the sissy storyline you won't have much of a sense of progression in the game besides unlocking new scenes. The sissy content has few scenes, is barebones, and you can back out of it at key points, but it at least provides a glue that keeps the rest of the game going.

If you're looking for a quick game to jerk off to, this one is decent. Again, the porn is good. But if you're looking for a sophisticated management game, this one is not for you.


- The other whores you recruit have very few unique scenes (maybe 5 per whore).
- Progress on the sissy storyline is based on rare random events. The balance is lacking, so unless you deliberately take the game real slow or edit the game files for yourself, you will need to grind maybe 5 extra hours to see all the sissy content (not worth it).
- Extremely slow development speed. When I played the game a year ago it was v22. Many "plot" threads don't go far.


EDIT: Bumped the rating to 5 stars since I did play it again. The game has it's problems, but it's a very good game for a goon session. Even though it's abandoned now, so much crap on this site doesn't even come close.

I like the general pacing and especially the TF/hypno route and it's effect/interaction with the other 'main characters'. Would love to see some updates, it's one of my favorite real porn games on this site.

Reviewed at version 23

Highly recommended to play this game only if you're okay with these tags: Gay, Sissy, Trans, Domination, Slaves, Drugs, Transformation

Gay, Sissy and trans scenes are avoidable, but they make a big portion of this game

Great idea for a game
Good selection of porn material
The gameplay and progression is also engaging
The story is pretty simple but unique and the random events are fun
I liked how you could see the profile of your slaves

Flaws:
In my opinion the game is still in very early stages, need a lot of more content and a lot of more bugfixes and polishes.
it can become boring after playing for some time specially since you need to grind, and the scenes/events become repetitive and boring.

Overview:
4/5 for now, but it can reach a solid 5/5

Version: v23

The brother managment aspect of this game is... alright, nothing special, you can just blaze past the entire thing quite easily. The images and story are quite good when it comes to training your girls, that is some good stuff. You can also become a man whore yourself, which is something most types of these games dont really do, so that add a more unique aspect to it. But at the current version of the game there isnt that much content right now, an hour or two is enough to get to the end.

Really not digging the fact that mind control and sissy content are chained together in content options. You can't disable one without disabling both.

Even more not digging the fact that if you turn off M/M content, you are forced down the sissy path for the main character.

That's some really loose standards as to what qualifies as "optional content."

I'm going to give this a hard pass at this time. Perhaps if content options aren't chained together, and they don't force other less-appealing content in its place, there might be hope for the game.

as of now (release v23) its a kinda neat 30 mins of almost interactive gameplay before you just spam endweek over and over.

Swapping to other sexacts is barely worth it since their base payment is barely higher than the lower tier ones so you miss out on all the proficiency bonus you have accrued.

For some reason girl 2 has 10x initial cost to improve her base beauty stats. I didnt bother upgrading so i cant verify if this continues.

The actions are taken sequentially, so after you reach 3 girls and got the energy upgrade it takes almost 30 seconds in pure load time on autoskip to reach next week. Which you will spend 10 seconds on before you repeat skip week again.

It's currently a start to a proof of concept but drops anyform of planning actual management after 15 minutes. Maybe check back in release 40 or 60.

Very fun, you'll end up spending quite some time on this one.
Scenes are well picked, and there are many for each action.
Management is fun but it is fairly easy, so far at least.
Transformation content is still limited, but hot nonetheless.
Dev is doing a great job, I hope we get more frequent updates someday!

Here's how to make a half-assed brothel simulator that is bound to never be finished:

- design unbalanced economy management system, like having to pay incrementally ridiculous debt instalments, starting at $400.00 per 8 weeks and and ending up at $4800.00 while your prostitutes initially make around $20 per trick and can only perform 3 tricks a week. And yeah, each type of service has its own learning curve, so a lv 20 handjob will bring more money than a lv 2 assfuck, something in the region of 3-4 times as much. What is the point of training your whores/slaves in submission to unlock more advanced services? I don't know, maybe just to unlock new scenes?
- conflate BDSM with prostitution and sexual expertise, so your training regime will consist of regular spankings and other will-breaking techniques copied from roughsex porn genre until they submit and agree to offer handjobs, blowjobs, titjobs, pussy and anal for money. That's right boys, if you ever want to become pimps, make sure to have a fully equipped dungeon and whip them hard until they say 'yes, Master, I will now sell my ass to clients'.
- add a hypno-feminization side story out of the blue, because why not? As a male brothel manager, you really need to consider becoming a Madam. And yes, you switch gender simply by watching email attachments from unknown source containing strobing clips of female cocksuckers and buttsluts with subliminal messaging convincing you that sucking dick, eating cum and taking it up the ass is gooooooood. Follow up with surgical procedures and voila! You are now Jenny the Madam.
- make sure to appropriate as much real-porn clips with as many different actresses as possible to inflate your game size to almost 1GB, preferably more. And add more verbal diarrhoea to sex act descriptions to make up for the lack of story and engaging gameplay
- start developing the game at least 3 years ago and never intend to finish. Make sure to open a Discord / Patreon / Subscribe accounts, so you may build a loyal fanbase, who will reward you for your valiant efforts.

Progress is slow, but steady. I wish the updates could come out a bit faster but I guess that's the usual case with most games on here.
The writing is pretty good, which matters a lot especially for these HTML based games.
Bonus points for being able to either choose to be a slavemaster or go down the sissy route, with no being forced into either path by the game.

Simple and with a decent amount of content, as promised by the description. Sissy content can be toggled off in settings and during every related key event.

I'm giving this a 5 because it seems the dev seems to know what they're doing and I honestly haven't encountered any problems with the game. Twine can be a little slow, but that's about it.
