Hello
I know there are already topics on corruption games but none with the added "good pacing" modifier.
What I mean by good pacing is that even if the game is grindy, unlocking corruption and h-scenes should be regular. No need to spend hours before having a new scene.
A great example of what I'm looking for is: News Desk by Pyorgara
Why ? Because even if the game is insanely grindy and gets repetitive, we still unlock a new scene every in-game day with significant material. It starts slow, but the progression is exponential. It also helps that I love deckbuilders and that the game had some great ideas with how the "kill the boss" system was done, basically the h-scenes are here so you depower an overwhelming force until you can take it down. The porn and the gameplay go hand in hand wonderfully.
A great example what I'm NOT looking for is: Star Knightess Aura by aura-dev
Why ? Because even if the game itself does corruption very well (one of the best I've played !), you can spend hours upon hours of standard RPGM gameplay without encountering significant progress on the h-scene side. You get progress on the corruption, sure, but middle of the game is barren in terms of porn which makes it frustrating to continue playing after a while. While both parts the game are good on their own, they don't fit together quite into something I enjoy experiencing.
Other good examples if you're like me:
- Hero Party Must Fall (somewhat slow burn VN with light minigames, one of my absolute favourites since the scenes ramp up really well once the corruption gets going. Play this if you love pixel art),
- Long Live the Princess (Fantasy VN with good writing and emotional moments. The corruption is slow, focusing on magic manipulation, but progress is constant. This is one of the very few 3D VN games that I loved for both the porn aspect AND the overall fantasy story)
- Naked Ambition (Also one of my favourites ! Pixel art, different routes and a card system that flirts between frustrating and genius. But I never regretted my playthroughs so far)
- Witch Trainer Silver (The classic Akabur Harry Potter parody mod/sequel/enhanced edition, a must play),
- Four Elements Trainer (Avatar parody, one of the best Akabur-like I've played)
- Claire's Quest (This has the potential of being a masterpiece ! But just like Star Knightess Aura, it's held back by poorly paced stat grinding. However, if you're into grimdark sandbox with some "true" RPG choices, this one might be for you. I still consider it great and h-scenes are farily well paced on the different routes)
- Snow Daze (charming VN with voice acting, laid back experience overall with cute characters. On the cute side of moral degeneracy)
- Detective Girl of the Steam City (RPGM without a lot of grinding, good pacing, and I thought the characters were endearing.)
- Goons Raid Her (Tomb Raider parody. Brilliantly funny.)
Other BAD examples if you're like me:
- Corrupted Saviors (Great concept ! Great system ! It's a shame everything is so opaque and punishing making progression feel like math. Can't wait for someone to rip the idea and make it more accessible, because this has huge potential)
