While recommendations are nice and appreciated, general corruption isn't really the focus of this thread. Looking specifically for gameplay altering changes like the mc becoming incapable of attacking, losing levels, or some sort of permanent handicap.
You said it.
Corruption is a pretty hot and diverse fetish, but if all it does in games is to unlock progressively naughty outfits and H-scenes, instead I might just go look at the many corruption-themed hentai and smut stories out there.
Nothing wrong with those of course, but I'd much rather see what redghost14 mentioned in this thread.
I guess in my original post I didn't put enough emphasis on
game mechanics, getting inhibited or handicapped in a sexy but also gameplay-oriented way. And, getting to continue majority of the game in a progressively weakened, yet sexy state.
To sum up, these are the best examples I have that exhibit these traits:
1) Odyssey of Gianna: Your playable characters are visibly changed and their skills change with the 50+ ways of being TFd, constantly switching up whether you use them as leveled down party members or as literal tools/objects/decorations/resource.
Although it could use WAY more meaningful interactions and hibitations between the 10 characters and their surroundings, it's already a pretty huge game with its creator actively expanding on it still, and one that is completely free to mod and improve upon with its community.

: All stats and appearance change with every small TF in a uniquely dynamic and free way, and it's fully possible to lose your sight, lose your ability to act/move, even be hypnotized and forcefully have your character moved in any direction your captor wills.
3) LonaRPG, Lisette's Maid, Wings of Roldea: If you're defeated and captured by mobs, you're bound and physically forced to sneak/struggle your way out of some lair/prison/dungeon before continuing the main game, but in
a severely weakened state. Often you'll have all your equipment and clothing removed, sometimes chains literally prevents you from picking them back up, and collars/tattoos prevent you from entering certain districts because those are much too civilized and clean for a dirty slave like you to be in.
4) Mission Mermaiden (McSwagger mod!)
, nulful's Brave Female Iruru (and its sequel), Above a Damage Tile games, B-Ground Unchained: The statuses you're inflicted with in these games, are so damn well integrated with how your controlled character moves, attacks, and struggles against binds/hypnosis/lust. Naughty experiences slowly accumulate until you get one trait after the other, that all create semi-permanent weaknesses that actually impact gameplay, instead of just being name titles or ways to unlock lazy CG sets.
Only thing they're lacking are
more of these statuses, and forced items/equipment that de-levels or gruntifies you.

: Handful of items that change the way you speak, act, move, and change your body that can both be forced/hypnotized upon you and in some cases
extremely permanent. All of the 6-ish chapters you go through, more or less forces you to play in a severely de-humanized and sexualized form (like boobslug, milking cow or 3-headed hydra!). The gameplay embraces these situations fully by f.ex. having you drool slime wherever you go, taking control of your character to cater your drug addiction or mission as a pack-beast, making you pick up more cursed items, etc. etc.
Its content is unfortunatly small, slow to update, and requires a monthly 10$ to even access, but what little already there
needs a recommendation in this thread. Exciting little game.
6) Lost in Laminate: Text-based CYOA, but top quality. Start out as a regular woman on a planet where even the most successful women are treated as complete inferiors to men. There are a multitude of routes to climb up, but mostly down the hierachy of slavery, effectively deciding just how much player agency you get. Pretty early on there are
several ways you can lose your ability to speak/walk/act normally, be treated much differently from how you started out, and even have the entire rest of your playthrough taken over by whoever gets to be your master/mistress. Even if technically not all that gameplay-oriented, it goes beyond most text games in terms of immersive and gradual submissiveness.
More text-based recommendations like this are welcome.
7) Some other games I've yet to try or yet to write about, out of the ones you guys have submitted so far. They're all good recommendations, just not all that suited for this thread. My bad for being vague thus far, but please do keep your eyes out looking for games adjacent to the above! ^_^ <3
