    This is a great project that can be endlessly improved upon, though not without issues and potential roadblocks for future development

    The good:
    • The management part of the game is pretty well done, rather deep and the progression feels deserved
    • The "girl pack" system is always good in such games especially if the game cathes on and people start developing many many and more packs along the way. Packs provided here are enough and are quite good
    • The UI is clear and easily usable and understood, better than most management games
    • There are already shitton of mods and additional extensive girlpacks, expanding the experience even further

    The "not so sure about this":
    • The girls are not forever and are basically gone after graduation (they get a job and you can meet them, but no actions can be done with them as of yet, WIP). You can endlessly postpone their graduation, of course, but those graduation bonuses are essential for progression.
    • After a while it gets rather old. Not to the point of unwankability or blind grind, but still. BUT there's still enough stuff to do, like seducing/corrupting the mothers, photoshoots, etc.

    Anyways, TLDR: it's a good management game on level with other popular titles like the one about the rats in a lab or the club on Venus (can't name them directly due to the rules)

    TL DR: Extremely shallow, repetitive and partially tedious management game (?). I don't really see the point.

    I never quite liked real porn games, but lately I've tried a couple to broaden my horizons. Mostly, I felt my prejudices affirmed, grindy sandbox games with poorly matching cobbled together artwork, sometimes done better, sometimes worse. WTM is a game like that. I don't know if I'd call it a sandbox, because it's more like a management game where it's only natural to look into the same stuff time and time again, but WTM is definitely grindy and contains lots of poorly matches real porn.

    The UI generally looks horrible, like something straight from the ancient times of dial-up internet and teenagers throwing up personal homepages on geocities or xoom or something. Parts of it work okayish, other parts are downright hostile, and there seems to be a general theme of hiding vital information from the player on the screen where he'd need it to make him look it up on another equally badly designed page elsewhere. Great stuff. Most of the time, there's neither music nor sound.


    As for the story, the premise behind the game is of course utterly ridiculous, so much so that for me, as a fan of scifi and fantasy, it overstretches my ability to suspend my disbelief.

    There isn't really much of an actual story beyond that, you get new girls, there's some progress in modifying school rules to enable some additional stuff, but that's just more hostile and repetitive menus for you to wade through. The management part is actually somewhat challenging before you realized how all of the games mechanics work, but ultimately is pretty superficial. That leaves you drowning in going through the same motions over and over again, the students coming and going, none of them have any story attached to them (well, some have very minimal events unique to them, but these are mostly a nothingburger) ... until you stop caring and shelve the game. Yeah, you get to "interact" with the girls, but the interactions are basically always the same ones and you are rewarded by short adult images or animations that might excite you if you are 13 years old and have never seen a porn movie in your life (if you're part of that demographic, you might have some fun with this game), but otherwise they're nothing to write home about.

    Really good concept, I really like the graduation-system in the game, but it also still feels kind of unfinished. For a school-sim, there's a pretty limited amount of things you can do.

    Still, I can't discount that the most impressive thing about the game is how far it's come from the original version and concepts.
    Even if I do think the other "Examination Day"-sequel is a bit better at this point, I respect both projects and hope they will someday both get completed.

    Very fun sandbox game. Love the concept and the execution. I am looking forward to see what else gets added on to this framework. The new uniform system was already a pleasant surprise to come back to.

    lovely game
    pros:
    -massive number of girl packs and mods (thx canadiansausage gege gdigger and other)
    -freeuse/ corruption theme is well implemented

    cons (this will seem bad because there are more cons than pros but still 4.5 stars worthy to me):
    -some systems such as discipline are obscure.
    -girl pack quality and vids are very variable
    - update speed is glacial (which is propably the reason why corrupted academy exists)
    - downloading the entierty of the girl packs will dilute your pool of models you actually want to see (that s on me i know :cautious:)
    - values don't always seem to translate properly for phtoshoots.
    -some quality of life improvements could be lifted from the competitor. (home visits, moms and escorts from Cacademy)

    TLDR: enjoyed this game a lot, probably spent upwards of 50h playing it but do yourself a favor and only download the models you want to see. maybe check out corrupted academy. less girls but the content for the girls is more refined.

    It's like a training simulator mixed with a daily loop game mechanic: you go to school, have sex with the students, corrupt them, take some pictures, and then once a week you spend favors to make things easier.

    The mechanics are well implemented, and fun at first, but there isn't much in the way of strategy, new mechanics, or a compelling story or characters to get you hooked, and in the end you're just grinding for the sake of it.

    I'd also like it if there was a way -other than cheating- to select or modify the sensitive part of the characters.

    It's not a bad game - I just found it boring. Give it a try and decide for yourself.

    EnterYourNameHere

    This game has some interesting ideas but its utterly drown in a absurdly repetitive gameplay.
    You go to school, do the exam, grope and fuck the girls, go to sleep, rinse and repeat, all days, weeks, months.
    You can enforce school rules, which worked pretty well in "Hentai Highschool" but its pretty irrelevant in this game. You can make the girls wear less clothes but other than there is a different picture, it makes you only click one less time to strip her. You can easily fuck every girl ingame without enforcing any of the rules.
    Also, the scenes are pretty boring and reused. Especially the groping scenes you see on multiple different girls. You grope the tits of a small breasted girl but see huge tits in the video. -.-

    It is grinding but I like the evolution you can have with girl and mothers.

    lots of pics and a lot of potentials, would recommend to anybody who prefer game play to story.

    the story is currently a bit slim

    A really nice sandbox that gets it, especially in the way it makes use of curated pictures and clips as opposed to CG art.

    Really fun even despite having ways to go, but with more polished content and gameplay balancing, it has a lot of potential as something unique.

    Ya gotta love games that can be modified as extensively as this one can be. It's pretty re-playable too, I've had many hours of fun playing, and quite a few more experimenting with code. I've put my own face into my version, changed the headmaster, the PTA president. Fun!

    LateParty

    This is basically what every porn game should aspire to do.
    It's very straight forward: the setup is you're a teacher and you want your students to fail, rather than succeed.
    How to do that? Molest them during the exam.
    Now the developer could've put hundred of time wasting situations, of grinding, of "before you see the porn you must do X" but none of that is present, beyond a little bit of grinding with the girl's parents but they are not that important to the core of the game.

    Now, the very first day you don't have permission to do most actions... but you can do them anyway.
    Fucking a girl will make her leave tear eyed and get the parent to call you pissed off beyond belief... but you can still do it.
    You can get the core "kink" of the game from the very first day, you can steal panties, lick pussies, fuck assess... if you want you can facefuck them right away, usually that gets parents really pissed but it's my go-to nuclear options to prevent them from succeeding.
    The game simply allows you to get erotic part of itself as a core gameplay mechanic rather than "do this then later you get to see it".
    There's also mods present, so you can expand on the girls present and the content available.

    5 stars because for once, it's a game that does what it says it does, don't bullshit you around and has a variety of content.
    I hope for the future, however, the videos/gifs and other such things when molesting the girls will be more varied, maybe with different categories depending on ass, boob or other thing, so certain girls will receive certain videos more often: as it is right now it is a bit generic on that part but still serviceable.

    HypnoKitten

    Ok... I cannot get enough of this game. Is it the greatest game in the world? No. The characters come off as fairly generic (missed opportunity), they behave similarly, its a simple management simulation, it can be slightly repetitive.. and it is still a ton of fun that always makes you wanna go 'one more turn'. I can't completely explain it but every time it releases an update I lose a few days to this game. So whatever its magic, it works and is worth the time. I hope it keeps growing

    A really nice little game. Each update seems to add quality content, and the updates are pretty requent as well.
    So far, each update rquires a complete restart, but as long as it's fairly easy to get started, that's okay.
    The game really picks up once you've unlocked photo study.

    Gimmley

    Great game, hope it get's more added over time. As of now the amount of content can be finished fairly quickly and it seems it is mostly the photography content as the main game is fairly repetitive..

    Personally I really like this game. I would prefer if the developer focused on the PTA and rules more instead of taking time to add girls as the mod community has done that really well. I do appreciate all the game and UI changes so far but at the end of the day what I am looking forward to between each update are more ways to interact with the girls than what we start with. This could be done such as bj and deepthroat support. Add the mod to the base game. Similarly, the breaking of rules and girls becoming completely corrupted would be rewarding and help us get the others corruption up as well. Having them pull the character away for a turn would a cool addition.

    Overall the game itself is fun and has made some good additions but I would prefer the slow and steady incorporation of features and change of events at certain milestones over the slow incorporation of side objectives like photo shoots and sponsors. Certain girls become unlocked after x amount of days and them being extra challenging. More to the base game and some challenges rather than side content.

    Sandbox is fun and so is interacting with the girls so make the interactions more fun

    I've given this a couple of goes over the past couple of releases but the core mechanic. Is just really dull.

    Its all well and good having a ton of porn stars but when the in game images used in the school are mostly just random , don't fit the model and often the same images are displayed for the girls you have on screen the game gets stale very quickly. I mean you dealing with porn stars how hard is it to show an image of themselves in a bra rather than a generic image..

    The phot0shoot section is really, really tedious. Why do i have to select an image in the bottom right and then taken a photo of if by clicking the top right. If i select an image just take a photo of it. It makes a tedious section even more tedious. Especially when each time you do a photo shoot you are forced to see the same photos over and over again before you can get to new ones. An option to remove photos you've already seen would be good at the very least some highlight next to the photo to show which ones you've already seen before you select it.

    *** The dev respond to say the photos you've already seen are slightly darker, but I didn't spot that. Might be a resolution thing. I'm playing on a 4k screen. and the preview images are tiny.

    Its has a good original premise but the cx and game design is really poor.

    Swearstraight

    This is my new favorite sandbox. Its got a lot to offer and a developer who knows what they have in their hands. A management game, my weakness, with a touch of molesty corruption gameplay. Community mods give it near endless content. Anytime a dev makes a game with a good base and openness to community modding, you get a gem. That's what this game is. One of my favorites for sure!

    consumptionist

    gave this a go when it first came out and was bare bones. liked where it was going.
    except...
    it didn't go anywhere since, even though a poll was run on this site and more events easily winning said poll, there have been new gameplay features but nearly no events. so....yeah that was obviously pointless then.

    it is still very much an empty experience as all you do is constantly loop the same gameplay over and over until you grow bored.
    photo shoots have been added but adds nothing to the game to relieve the dullness. purely puff piecing the content with snapshots of the girls. why?

    it lacks a story to give it purpose and events that are outside of the loop.
    i see there was 1 available with 1 of 7 girls.
    this explains why this is a heavily modded game. without them it is just poor.

    no BJ scenes which is good considering what the game is about, as having them would invalidate the whole premise.

    it's just a gif viewer with minimum gameplay to introduce them......and the fact that they do not match the character you are interacting with makes this just terrible overall.

    a fairly good premise being wasted on a very poorly implemented game

    Swirling through the gutters and finding myself being called in as a sexy reeducator for a troubled academy, I find a university that I want to really like, but the more I teach, the more I feel as though that initial shine I got when stepping through those cobbled, lewd halls, starts to grow staler and staler.

    With any biases I have, I will say to take into consideration that I have played this with mods that add more features and girls than the initial game, but that's mainly to try and squeeze out more than it initially offers to see if you can get anymore out of it. Was it worth it? Somewhat, but even with these 5+ gb mods, there's still some growing issues that I feel as though needs to be addressed that is the wall for this game. That'll be addressed later on in this review.

    And as always, I'll try and be as honest as I can.

    So as you can probabaly tell from the beginning, you're a professor trying to utilize a new means of teaching by failing students trying to pass exams to save the university money by lewding them. It's a pretty neat concept, you try and essentially grope, massage, annoy, and eventually grow bolder with your students on removing their clothing and repeating said actions until you eventually get to the good stuff (various other sexual actions exist as well, these are usually just the go to for a gameplay loop). It's weird however, up to this point no BJ's, you can do anal, sex, kiss, and essentially touch everyone to your hearts content, but no bj's. :/

    Each action increases corruption to the point where they don't care that you're fully undressing them, banging them amidst their classmates, lending out facials as if coom flowed like water all to get them to essentially fail their tests and embrace that college really is just banging until you get sheepskin out of nowhere. Like how your grandpaps explained it being, rather than the more modern disappointment on spending several years there just to meek out a bachelors, debt, and alcoholism instead.

    On top of that, the parents, staff and headmaster also support your efforts on doing this, yet, you got to keep both money and budget flowing to not piss off the school board lest they fire you. Mainly with this, on the weekend you find yourself either skipping or attending a PTO meeting that passes acts that act as buffs and additions to the gameplay loop above, whether you can force those attending to stop wearing hoodies so that you don't need to spend time removing that on the RNG, or force them to be braless, pantyless and so on and so forth.

    To balance this, budget goes into those acts that siphons money every week, and if you aren't doing your job well enough or have enough students to bring in more cash (that you keep failing so that the education system can keep milking them for money ala that awful professor at uni that completely fails the majority of the class shamelessly for a required course, except this time it's more overt on you fucking them), then you get fired as said previously. You get a couple of chances to get away with it, but it's imperative that you make sure your keeping the cash flow going, on top of that there is sponsors that help give more money that requires your students to be okay on giving photo shoots for advertisements.

    So. That's that, why three stars? I want to give four quite honestly as the gameplay is fun for awhile, but it does get to a point where you do have your corrupted class and that's it. You have sex with them after all of them have essentially turned into voracious sloots, and the gameplay falls apart by the time you get there which isn't that long. There's no imperative to keep going, or relationships formed that lead to further events of debauchery, just go to class, bang them, fail them, have them like failing and keep the cycle going. Maybe do a photo shoot, but there's really not much to do after that fact unless you want to start a new loop of getting new girls to replace the old ones.

    That's been the gameplay since the beginning and it'd be nice to throw more variety in it past that point, such as more actions that open up once they're totally open about everything, like, why not just turn the class into an orgy sesh? Or how about training one of your students to be a student aide "helping" you with newer students? Maybe even open up the staff more and give characterization to them in maybe seducing the very board itself? Maybe more dialogue for different traits that every student has rather than the same sentences you see every time?

    These ideas are nice but every new edition feels like just more clean up and additions to keeping the money balance going rather than anything substantial at the moment in expanding the lewd, unfortunately. On top of this the mods can only do so much as in the end, it's just adding more girls, maybe a handful of other actions you can do, an event here and there, but things feel rather ramshackle at the moment in contrast to the base game. And on top of that, you have to be very okay in allowing the many images you'll be seeing not pertain to the actress being portrayed, as many of them are just random and only display the context of what your doing, rather than adhering to the actress herself alone. Hence, get ready to see a rotation of say a dozen different gifs represent say groping for one girl that cycles through a variety of different body types and faces. Not that I particularly hate that, more so just bringing it up for peeps that want things to mesh better rather than seeing a plethora of porn barely adhering to the person you're supposedly trying to fail.

    In the end the game is fun and don't take these three stars as saying it's a bad game, more so that it's really needing to have some means of direction and/or expansion that either goes beyond the classroom, or makes that loop much more engaging rather than the rail road cycle that's been here for quite some time. As after you finally figure out said loop, that's the entire game, which has a limit at some point of just being porn with buttons rather than being a game. Overall, I do recommend giving this game a once over as it's not very long, and it is enjoyable for a time. Overall 3/5, maybe a future 4 or even 5 if it starts to truly grow beyond what it is currently.

    I like this game.

    It hits a very specific formula on the head. That formula is a slow-paced corruption game across many girls that rewards you for the grind with exhibitionism and sex.

    The game is still in its very early iterations, but it already has a fun playable game loop. However, every update at this point, adds a lot of new material and functionality to the game.
