Yet another mind-control/drugs + corruption/incest/harem thread

[Sirrah]

I've just read through a stack of threads with mind-control and/or corruption in the title, but most of them are either very specific requests or way out of date. If the mods think this is redundant though, feel free to kill or merge this. I know there are some great games out there that I have missed, and some real stinkers as well. Sorry for the size of this post - just thinking through why these games work for me.

I've been in the mood for a good mind control game recently, in the classic Dreams of Desire style, meaning:

• GOOD GRAPHICS! Doesn't have to be realistic, just has to not be sloppy. I associated these sorts of games with hyperreal Daz renders with good textures (MILFs need good textures!), depth of field, amazing sets, and all that. But recently some of my fave games are koikatsu, and one of the great games in this genre, Snow Daze, was hand drawn. But if the art isn't hot, then really, what's the point?
• A slow but not grindy burn progressing from things like revealing clothing, slowly adding sex acts, then going open about the situation with the full harem. There's a difference between "grind" and "tease"! It's all about the storytelling
• Which mean harem, of course
• And hopefully the harem includes mom, sisters, aunts, daughters, grandmas, mom's best friends, that hot barista in the cafe, your fourth grade teacher, the...ooops, got carried away there.
• While just ending with full-on open sex (and hopefully group activities with some or all of the harem) is just fine, it's cool if there's some extra kinks and fetishes thrown in, to underscore the corruption side of things. I don't mind stuff like humiliation (for those who deserve it), exhibitionism, sleep sex, mother+daughter or sister+sister, etc. etc. Your kinks might vary.
• Dark magic, strange potions, mystic devices, advanced science gadgets, drugs, hypnosis, all of that fits this genre, I think. It's a bit different from straight up corruption where you're just trying to seduce the LIs - I think those sorts of games are hard to pull off unless you make the interactions really plausible. Once you add the mind-control aspect, it gets a lot easier to believe what's going on.

Some things I do not give a crap about in the slightest, but I know some people freak out about:

• NTR - I could care less. Some crazy free use stuff can be hot, in my opinion. But y'all know how crazed the NTRphobia gets -sheesh. Imma stay out of that fight.
• Animation: yeah, it's cool, when it wors but it bloats a game and when done poorly doesn't add a lot, IMHO.

I already mentioned Snow Daze and Dreams of Desire. I just played through The Mind Society and even though those boobs are out of control, it worked for me. I've just downloaded Bright Lord and Shut Up and Dance, which both look like good fits. Midnight Paradise doesn't have a mind-control tag but it's LewdLabs so I grabbed it too. Take Over is pretty good, though it's strayed far from its roots now. Lab Rats 1 did the mind-control stuff well, even if it's not a perfect match.

What am I missing? And thanks for coming to my TED talk.
