Others - Abandoned - Glamour [v0.57] [Dark Silver]

A very detail game. The story is interesting and gives good hope on where the journey is going. The models are beautiful and the overall aesthetics are quite stunning. Each character seems to have their own little secret which I like and it adds to the realism and mystical. There is a nice amount of locations to visit and things to do in this current version. Really looking forward to what happens next.

superb cg, still having hope that the adult content will be good once its here.
Strong foundation that has to be build upon now. Could be another great one from Dark Silver, like Big Brother which also had great cg but also way more adult content early on, so fingers crossed!

Dear adult game lover;

Welcome to the Dark Silver's Grinding Feast. A year past but still little content, very good visuals, average game interface, average story, poor freedom of game play and specially more GRINDING then most of mmorpg's.

With the offline Version the game is finally playable and I really liked the story. There are some h scenes but its not a complete fuckfest. The female perspective is a nice change and I hope the introduction of the MC doesnt halt the female route. Models and general graphics are pretty good compared to other games.

Edit: Game went downhill fast and turned into a budget version of recyled BigBrother content without the charme of the original. There is no story left that makes any sense at all so everyone looking for good renders might be better off with the GC rip as the game is now the usual grind to see random h scene.

Very well written characters, awesome graphics, very good idea about game and finnaly pretty nice story - almost unexisted in any other porn games.

Still this is not final version - just 0.10, but it already have many hours of gameplay.
It could be less grindy, or let people who want any cheat version, also some quest in house happening only on certain hour is bad idea, because getting all scenes are pretty hard, but it can be improved in next patches.

It's become an alright game now with some good changes from the dev.
Very nice renders as you could expect from DS.
It doesn't have a lot of content yet, but then again it's only ver 0.10.
Recommend everyone to play the female MC for the best experience right now.

Negatives are it's extremely grindy, a bit too much for my taste. Conversation system is somewhat inconvenient.

I think its best graphics on adult games. And BB heroes is back - I think after 5-6 months DS upgrade BB line and all BB patreons is back. BB is closed more than 1 year ago and look thread - every day have new messages.

My life is rather boring, but less is happening in this game. 20 minutes of clicking and reading and nothing happened. When it comes to drawing, it's like 90% of games quite good, but it's a pace - badly.

First of all, this is my opinion.
This game is terrible.
There are few parts to enjoy, there is nothing to see and control is inconvenient.
I do not know how good the online version is.
However, I do not think I need to play offline version.

I love this game.
There are a lot of grind. But I like it.
There is something in this game that makes it different from most other adult games. The same what made Big Brother a great game.
And now with offline version it has all chances to become as popular as Big Brother.

This game looked interesting at first, but it really is not.
I tried using the offline version, since I'm not a fan of games which require an active internet connection although it is not needed for the gameplay, but it did not work at all (keeps freezing on start).

The game itself has almost no content and is really annoying to play.
It's kinda like a huge grindfest, clicking through the complex and non-intuitive interface, which gets you nowhere.
IMO the gameplay itself would be much better if it was written in Renpy (at least it would be a little less annoying when doing the grindfest with the keyboard controls, skipping, console commands, etc.).

The renders themselves are looking pretty good, but with such a low amount of content and that very annoying gameplay/GUI it's just not worth wasting your time with this.
Maybe in 2-3 years it's sort of playable, IF the developer does not abandon this game just like "Big Brother" before.

Thanks best Role Play Game but
Alex should be given more attention
Alex stays in the background and the dialogue options are also restricted
I think this should be one of the elements that the game developer should be aware of... and
Please update ofline version new version v010!

DS Really knows how to tell a story and produces wonderful artwork.
I miss animations thats why this is not Excelent

Story has a lot of potential to develop, several paths are opening up.

Characters are interesting, and story is also

HUGE on possibility!!
Is it grindy-yes
Is it repetitive? -yes

but it has a great cast- the story (yes there is one) is very good and the writing is done quite well, too. It also includes characters from at least 1 very well known (in this forum, anyway) game that has gone abandoned- but still has background stories being filled in!! Looking forward to updates!!!

Updated for Version 0.44 Offline -- Kate path

I was rather harsh to this game in my original review and thought my complaints about lack of content are probably a bit unfair 34 revisions later, so I decided to give this another try to see if it is worth playing now. Sadly my old save didn't work so I had to start from zero.

However, instead of adding stars for more content I considered dropping the game to a single star. While there technically is more content now it is spread even thinner than in the original game. This seems impossible as the core game mechanic of these corruption games is that the longer you play the more material you unlock. How can this be? The answer is grind. Despite many early complaints about the boring padding built into the game the dev has doubled down by locking most storylines behind a long chain of previous story events. In order to progress in the current mission you typically need to finish off most of the other content, which usually requires many days of clicking "next" to bring up the right time to possibly advance a fairly large counter by one.

If multiple storylines could be pursued at once it might be a fun game, but since you're locked into waiting out each storyline one at a time it takes literally tens of hours to finish the current content. I am not exaggerating, the grind is mind numbing. While there are a decent number of sexy scenes it can be an hour between seeing a new one, or one that isn't just a slight variation on the one you previously saw. You get to re-watch scenes so many times you'll be sick and tired of them.

About halfway through the game I started role playing Kate as a depressed person who lays down catatonic on the couch for days on end because it's Friday and the next chance for the only possible event to trigger again to advance the counter by 1 is next Tuesday and she has literally nothing to do beyond maybe make $30 at her dead end job.

I have not managed to start the Max path, I've already wasted way too many hours on this game.

Reviewed Version: 0.9 Offline

This is a review of the female protagonist branch, at the start of the game it says the male protagonist path is low on content and discourages running it at this time.

This is a game that promises a lot, but in its current form does not deliver much. Worse, it has an incredible level of grind to unlock what sparse content it does have.

Story Overview:
You move into the city to attend college, but have no money nor are you willing to take on student loans, so you find a school that is free but has strict rules with implied sexy punishments* for breaking them. This seems like a strange choice because the main character is about half a step away from being a never-nude. She can't even change into gym clothes and somehow this super strict school is ok with her skipping it every day. It's clear from the start that there is something weird about the school, but you join anyway. There are a number of classmates you can build relationships with for more sexy content*, as well as teachers that you can build relationships with for more sexy content*. There is a school nurse who is involved with some shady drug business that may lead to sexy content*. There is a gym that promises plenty of sexy content*. The basement in your house has tons of potental for sexy content*. Your classmates do sexy photoshoots*, cosplay*, and have their own groupies in a band*. Most importantly your roommate has a boyfriend that needs help in satsifying her*. You get a job where you commute an hour and a half every day to clean one single room in a hotel for $30. Most of the implemented sexy content is through this hotel, and it is also your only source of income.

But in order to unlock any of that you need to spend many real life hours watching the clock like a hawk to go to make it to every activity on time and trying to figure out what moon logic event will trigger the story to continue. A big part of the game is memorizing the slightly randomized schedule of your roommate so you can get her to walk in on you masturbating, bathing, or showering as much as possible to advance the storyline. Many events are locked behind random checks so you may be clicking through many days before it finally triggers. Storylines tend to be require that a previous storyline be complete or nearly complete before it can start, so you can forget about reducing the grind by running multiple storylines in parallel. This developer is adamant that boring grind is crucial to the game. It's made all the worse because pretty much every other character in the game is just itching to jump her bones, but she's reliably says no every single time.

In its current form it's hard to recommend spending the 15-20 hours necessary to unlock all of the current content.

* Sexy content not yet implemented

text, text, text & no action, no sex nothing of interest.
weak walkthrough, story could be good but actions are low.
Developer should look more to players interests in a game.

Offline doesn't work it's always via Patreon account, so...

Review of version 0.9

I am basing my review score on a offline version, but I did include both versions in pros and cons. This game has its highs and lows, but I think it redeemed it self somewhat with offline version.

Pros:
-Amazing quality of renders
-interesting story and side stories
-beautiful and visually polished UI
-page where you can see the state of main story and side stories
-finally offline version (with 0.9)

Cons:
-plenty of grind needed (some people like that, some hate it), I think this should be dialed down for at least 30%
-Linux version promised and not delivered
-offline version runs separate exe file for fake server which needs firewall authorization
-online version requires connection to Patreon account
-online version connects to an unreliable server (makes game slow sometimes)
-super slow talk system between characters, this needs work (I usually hit the skip button then scroll back up to read at my own pace if needed)

I only played the recent 0.9 offline version. Story is alright, renders are great. A bit of the same issues as with Big Brother. Too much grind and slow pace before things finally start to heat up. Still very promising, but patience is needed.

Content is low and it's quite gridny, and to top it off, you can't even cheat away the grind. The grind seems to only be there becasue he releases little content each update so needs to pad the time with grind to make it look like there is an actual game.

How can someone make one so popular game, rake in money and then abandon it and make such a poor attempt at another game is beyond me.
This one has no real story, no interesting characters, even the models are looking completely lifeless, like plastic dolls. Why is anyone funding this game?
