I certainly like the sound of the concept from the blurb. How it's implemented, though, I'm not so sure of. Technically, it seems fairly well made, but regarding content I see this:
Picking gluttony further down the road will unlock the option of cannibalism, while Wrath will unlock beatings, gore, and so on. Be aware that these are meant to be overpowering urges, hence once you commit to them, you'll likely be able to kiss that NPC goodbye after the scene is over.
Yeah, all of those things are hard "no"s for me. If those are just examples of some of the most extreme things that's fine, but if that's going to represent of a significant amount of the content I'll have to pass.
Also, there are a couple of bugs/oversights that I've seen; the moneychanger in the bank only appears to let you change money upwards, you can't exchange the silver you get from the oxagle quest for copper, or deposit silver and withdraw copper. And if you choose to play as a woman, you get a flat-chested woman with a penis. Who is referred to as "lad" and "boy" (also "sir" by the codex, but you can set that to "Mistress" just as easily as you can set it to "Master" so it's less of an issue).

So what I could see in the image folder, we got... 3... Sexual pictures and one of the guys look like the joke version of some hipster. Then people are talking about it having text fade in. Is this a joke? Like some sort of satire on HTML games? If it's not, you may have wanted to have let this one spend a bit more time cooking in the oven.

Hello Master of Puppets and welcome to the thread. Regarding your "hard no"s, I personally do not take any satisfaction in said content, however, it will be included for the sake of realism. This project is an adaptation of a homebrew tabletop setting, thus, I'm being faithful to the character it's meant to portrait. That being said, that kind of extreme content, though present, won't be the majority, and all "abnormal" content will be optional with the player receiving plenty of warnings from the MC's inner thoughts. The more significant part of the content will be focused around the domination of NPCs who are by nature evil and will follow your leadership, and the corruption of neutral and good NPCs into doing the same.

Regarding the bank limitations, these are issues I'm well aware of. You can only scale CP upwards as I was testing if it worked properly, and you can't deposit silver and withdraw copper due to coding limitation (i.e., I haven't bothered writing it yet). The reason behind it is that the bank serves no purpose other than to flex how much money you have :LOL:
In future releases the amount of money you have on your account will determine how much money the bank is willing to loan, and you'll receive a small savings deposit every week/month. Since now that's not working, I didn't bother putting it in yet.

As for the being called a sir and the rest of the body desc whilst being a woman... that's definitely not supposed to happen, thanks for the warning. (y) I'll fix it for the next version.

So what I could see in the image folder, we got... 3... Sexual pictures and one of the guys look like the joke version of some hipster. Then people are talking about it having text fade in.

Welcome to the thread. It's indeed not a joke! Well, the hipster face is I suppose, and there are some inside jokes as well. As for letting it be in the oven, I couldn't disagree more. Placing it out here was the ideal decision, I've already got lots of feedback for things to change and add that I wouldn't have thought of otherwise. Feel free to leave anything not yet said by other as well (y)

Is there any content in game? I couldn't find -_-
For all of you having trouble from lack of guidance a Quest log will be added on the next version. Regardless, most of it will be at the Academy for now.

That sounds more like the kind of thing I like. What kind of corruption do you have in mind, are you thinking more subtle manipulation and temptation? Or more like rough and forceful mind breaking? Or even being able to choose how you bring each NPC to your side?

I personally prefer the 1st but I'll write both of them. Ultimately however, it will depend on the NPC. Some of them will require unique approaches, but most will allow you to choose your methods.

Sounds cool. I know some people like when there's an identifiable moment when you've broken them, but I think the entire process being gradual without one discrete moment is just as hot.
Also, while some people prefer the end result to be a completely different person, I think it's better when you can clearly see who they used to be in them, just twisted.
Given the "Seven sins" theme you mentioned earlier, I'm imagining NPCs having one or more of those as their weaknesses, and you turn them by tempting them into indulging that weakness. Bonus points if their personality when you're done depends on which sin you used to turn them.

Oh my, have you been sneaking looks at my notes? :LOL: Indeed, exploiting people's sins and drive them deeper into them is exactly the main method of subtle corruption I have planned. It's a great concept overall, and I'm glad to see you thought of it as well.

I'm sorry, but a game where I lose in three turns so easily and have to restart unless I saved right before an unexpected fight immediately after chargen is not in any way "fun".

This game seems interesting, i enjoyed what there is so far. Unfortunately dev has different taste than i do. He prefers text only if he can't find good enough picture. To me though, its very important to see stuff in porn, even if some pictures would seem very out of place. So this may not be my game. I hope there will be enough pics/videos for me to enjoy this game, or mod at some point.

Good luck for the game!

So far I've found how to increase STR (warehouse work), INT (library), and CHA (mirror in dorm room). Are there ways of increasing the others? Particularly DEX and CON seem important, if they're tied to hp and ep.

I need to know, is it a bug when you are a woman to have a penis or is it intended to have both man and woman pc have a penis?

Oh ffs... just put the intro on screen and let us move on to the next page with a button or whatever. Not everyone reads like, "The... big... dog... jumped... over... the... little... cat..."

Also "Choosing CON or STR makes this fight a lot easier" By easier do you mean winnable? Cause it sure as hell isn't otherwise which begs the question... why let us choose? Demon has 20 hp and you do 2 points to it per hit. It does 3 to you and you have 8. Do the math.
I found that if ye repeatedly do this method & eventually ye will win (though it seemed awful grindy to me): Endure twice, Struggle once till ye win.
