It's not levelling down persay as it makes you stronger, but that new Island of Penance game

Unfortunately i'm like 70% or so of the way through the game and everything after that is mostly just rape after rape without much fun new stuff, so i'm not sure how much I can recommend it as a whole ,i'll have to beat it first before I can decide.

I played through all 3 routes of the Paradise Succubus demo, and wasn't too impressed.
I found I didn't care for any of the loss 20 CG already there, maybe cause of my distaste for male MC and the artstyle, but still I had to push through to see the perma debuffs, TFs and bad endings.
Especially the chaos boss turning you into a generic mob, far too rare in H games.

But the path there felt really tedious, even despite the semi-original battle design I just found all the erotic stuff boring. The stat changes do nothing so far, there's not enough bad states and they do virtually nothing yet, the captive route is unfinished, you get rid of the cursed equipment too easily, no bad states carries over runs, and the sex is far too vanilla.
I get that its an early demo and I can only hope Paradise Succubus gets as fleshed out as Pandora's Forest eventually.

Thanks though for bringing this to my attention, I respect this artist's work and think they are genuinely interesting, high quality and probably worthwhile for many of you, but so far I really only liked the Chaos route Bad End.
Can't wait to see if the Bad Ends really become playable, and if so I will jump right back into my grunt role when the game is finished and fully translated. <3

Holy smokes I love gruntification, especially when the design is slutty but not too whorish, is weak but still somewhat humanoid, removes most original body features but retains some, makes you look indistinguishable from the rest, and sprinkles with level and name change.
Only MonCurse, No Escape, 3072AD, Mystic Knight Maya, Odyssey of Gianna, Isle of TS Monster Girls, and especially SHRIFT, has done this well from recent memory, and I've played about 250 H games at this point.
Probably my favorite kind of lewd & lesser in games.
All you other subsluts enjoy this savefile I copied for you, takes you right to the boss that makes you a sexy, generic low level mob. <3
I've ran into Shrift a bunch of times now, and it never seemed like my type of game just cuz of male mc, het pairings, and the whole you die when you cum thing- never thought it had the type of content related to this thread. Is it gender and species tf? Just corruption? How much of it is there? Srry for all the questions but I wanna see if maybe I should give the game a second look.

I’m glad you asked, cause I shared the same sceptisism as you until our good thread friend here xy90k pointed out a very specific loss based TF you can undergo in SHRIFT.
And my response to finally having played the game, I don’t regret it even if I to this date has not beat the final boss, got too tedious to figure out the trick.
But seriously try the game at least until you get to the 2nd stage, if you bond enough with Bargheists you will absolutely love the special bad end at the first level’s final boss. <3

Though in retrospect, that TF scene is really only a short, non-playable Bad End with no gameplay effects apart from maaybe name and HP bar changes for a bit?
It might even be linear and insubstantial like what I just defined above.
But what I found so extraordinarly hot about that TF is first of all, the story being told up to that point. About the species you end up as. How the extremely sadistic and superior yet cute and charming succubus mocks you, for making the foolish choices that lead you down that path. Especially how she treats you after the fact.
How this game’s artstyle and creature design makes it all feel so unique and refreshing.
And most of all how that specific TF is so humiliating and dehumanizing when

It’s just all written so damn well and in created in such a fresh artstyle, I have to reccommend just that first boss [alternate] bad end.

Not sure if you will like the rest of SHRIFT since I could not find any more instances of Bad Ends that hot, but, it will only take an hour of your time. Remember to work for a certain equipment by befriending the dogs~

Yay, another game dedicated to makinh Bad Ends playable. Reminds me a lot of 3072AD.

Not sure if I’ll ever get used to the strange swearwords, the fake accents the flat humor or the abundant small talk, but I’m interested in seeing where Gutter Blight goes from here.

The slavebot transformation, and the commands and loyalty program that follows, is really sexy.

yeah, i liked this game and 3072 AD. well here's hoping the game gets even better the more it gets developed! in the discord it's showing some of the next dungeon and how it's being developed and stuff so it shouldn't be too long before we get to the next TF!

Speaking of in retrospect, I feel like you're remembering Pandora's forest with nostalgia glasses, a lot of the criticisms you mentioned apply to Pandora's forest too.

Act 1 was only goblins and worms, no bad effects, cool bad ending at the boss though.

Act 2 had more enemies but few bad states, lame boss.

Act 3 is where the real game begins, but a lot of the changes are just text at the end of the day, lots of endings though.

This was one of the things the dev wanted to fix with PS, it took way too long for anything to happen in Pandora, whereas in PS you have a good variety at the start.

stumbled across this forum whilst asking folks about other things, but yeah, I'm the dev for that game, gonna clear up what Druiska said and make it clear that so long as it continues to be funded outta pocket, it ain't getting updated soon.
not in the sense that it won't be worked on till it gets donations, just more in the sense that doing all the art myself and holding down a job requires a lot of time.
The first dungeon took something like half a year to finish, just cause I'm that busy.

with regards to the swears, they're there on the advice of my editor, for reasons; gotta keep my smut nice and clean for folks of a sensitive disposition.
if they bother you, keep in mind that, I plan to do some narrative stuff with them by the end of the 1st act that should hopefully make them feel a little more relevant
As for the bad humour/accents/small talk, I read a lot of bad vns, notably a certain Australian tf one, and they've influenced my tastes a bunch (I like dumb trash basically) sorry if that ain't your thing, it's just cause that kind of writing is a lot more sustainable for me, mainly cause I find it fun

It is come back
1st of May release, yay! Go buy "Magical Girl Rika and the Monster Dungeon" here:


We are very lucky to see the release of this TF game at all, considering the creator died a year ago, and some collegue/friend/aquantice picked up their project to make what they could of it!
I'll try MTLing it in a month or two, when I have time again. Very excited to see the contents of this! <3

Thank you for making this game, and thank you for responding to my rushed critisism of a first impression!
Sorry if my critique came off as crass, goes without saying that it's all my subjective opinion haha.
Though the overall dialogue gets a bit tiring to read as a result of the accents and the censoring, that could just be me and I don't think everyone would mind as much as I.

In fact I would recommend everyone in this thread to try your game, since its theme could feel very right for people here interested in having a playable path of hard BDSM, being forced to serve the game's villain, mental and physical reconfiguration, and slowly increasing submissiveness~

I can totally relate to having a full time job and also be working this passionately on a spare time product.
Good luck onwards!

Eh, it's not really censoring, it's more that I am just very prone towards swearing in my writing, which harms the setting since they feel out of place, so having setting based swears with their own lore was deemed by the pair of us to be a decent way of forcing that tendency to fit into place.
From memory, I think there's actually only one character who speaks with an accent, I think? most others just speak the way that I do for the most part, with minor variance

Ah, I remember seeing the news of that. Was really sad, but it's cool to see it was successfully picked up and completed. Hope the original dev would be proud of how the game came out.
Also, I might be remembering it wrong, but wasn't it a sibling that took over?
