RPGM - Manila Shaw: Blackmail's Obsession [v0.37b] [Abaddon]

Hm really good game nearly every fetish of mine but not one of the best atm.

Pros:
- big tits
- decent looking girl
- much blackmailing
- impregnation
- old guys
- some really hot ideas and outifts
- hopefully there will be more scenes in her asian kimono outfit and her agent outfit. Sexbomb outfit is always welcome.

Cons:
- it’s too exhausting and annoying at some points:
She can get fucked by plenty trained young guys but I am HOURS into the game and still can’t let old guys fuck her... I want to see Mr. Burke, Sensei, John Doe and the Black Rich father fuck her but still nothing happens hours into the game. Just teasing and getting fucked by cocky trained young guys...
Its frustrating.
- her face could have more character looks a bit bland
- her hips and thighs could be curvier imo
- some fights are too hard like with that Blood Moon girl
- can’t skip animations earlier last two long for a simple animation pls let them skip ...
- at the asian temple you can fight 3! Times in a row... makes no sense, you can’t win all + I don’t want to fight 24/7 I want to have sex! At best with old guys!
edit: could get fucked by one old guy after about..4? 5? Hours into the game and plenty exhausting fight scenes.

Got headaches of playing hours and fighting annoying fights

If you avoid sex with the cocky young guys you don’t have sex at all HOURS into the game! And too much fighting!

TOTALLY ANNOYING UNBALANCED FIGHT SCENES!!! Really far too many misses, too strong enemies, killed characters are alive when defeated, no chance to train the mc in the short duration between fights! only solution is to invest plenty of money into really good but fucking expensive stun guns.

This is an opinion. Not everyone will agree with me.

Lasted about 5 minutes no joke.

- 27 years old
- Beautiful
- Big breasted, I assume they are implants because of the shape
- Non dating

Little bit of stretch so far but that's fine.

- Virgin

NOPE, I'm out. I can not suspend my disbelief that far. If you want innocent then go younger. I can believe a senior in high school might be a virgin. Even in College you will find women who are virgins, but when you start looking at the factors such as her breast size, and overall beauty then you move into the improbable.

Also RPGM is a negative...

Renders are par for the course. Not bad, not good. Ugly fat male characters. Note average renders is a really low standard, everyone should be better than this.

Writing is poor, but not horrible. Falls on tropes INSTANTLY.

I can't take anymore. I didn't even made it to the plot of the game.

There is no saving this game for me. Sad, because the topic of blackmail and sexual violence is interesting.

1/5

There are few games that effectively weave the choice of pregnancy into the storyline and have more content than a single birth scene. This alone puts this high on my watch list. However, the big problem in this area is that it givesy ou a fertility rating that is entirely misleading until you hit a certain cutscene. Why would it not simply tell you that using fertility treatments can't happen due to infertility. Look through the comments with how many people this system has confused.

It has many common sins of RPG games - namely tasks that are not optional, highly repetitive, and only serve to pad the experience. It is hard to find someone the quest is telling you to speak with if they teleport to different areas and it doesn't tell you where those are.

I did feel like I had a decent set of choices to make but the game sure makes certain paths more boring than they should be. I also wish there was a bit more of a sexy "ramp" in clothing. Your police uniform starts off incredibly tight and sexier than her casual clothes. The first sexy dress she gets is the most revealing thing for the rest of the game. I feel like most of my issues are relatively easy to fix.

Gameplay -6/10
Future Promise -9/10
Art/Scenes -7/10
(I consider 5/10 an average rating)

This game lost me before it even started.

First the slow af dialogue that I don't care about because who gets invested in a character's slice of life before knowing said character? And you can't even skip it. Slogged through, thinking it'll be better once I know the MC.

Then next comes the slow pictures. Fading in and out. Really? First time I saw it, my immediate response was to close all other application and a few background apps from task manager. It still didn't work.

It never occurred to me that it's a deliberate feature.

And so of course, being the idiot that I was, I look around a bit for a "fix". Things to make the game run smoother on an old PC. Guess what? The delay wasn't my computer being slow, the dev just thought it's a good idea to pad the game by literally slowing everything down to a crawl.

Solid nope.

It's the porn game with the best story I've ever played. Lacks that the updates are faster and with more content, in addition to some porn scenes somewhat better. For the rest, it is a story that makes you think that you are living in reality as the protagonist, where you will have a good time of fun or despair for the situations of the protagonist, but that does not leave anyone indifferent.

So after playing this game through this game I can tell you that this game loves wasting your time. You will spend most of your time looking at repeting animations(Shower Scene, Car Sequences, Elevators, you get the picture) and such and repeat the same cycle of filler until this game eventually decides to give you a little bit of the content you came for.

The Plot is stupid if you really give it a thought, basically in the world of this game no woman can get pregnant(or at least almost none) except you, for whatever reason. The Antagonist of this game is actually the good guy who tries to find a "cure" and make woman become fertile again but the doesn´t care to explain that to anyone except his followers ofc.
No matter which route you take, you´ll actively try to stop him - the only difference is that you can win/lose fights which at the end of the day, don´t really effect the outcome overall.

TL;DR
Pros
- 3 Routes (Good Girl/Nice Cop, Corrupted and Blackmail)
- (Sometimes) Exploring/Doing Sidequests allows for different choices
- Avoidalbe scenes(If they are not for you´re liking)

Cons
- A lot of filler(waiting for animations, doing the same stuff over and over)
- Weird orgasm/cum sounds
- Apparently everyone is a pervert/rapist
- RPGM Fights that can take way to long

Alright guys - I'm sorry, but this game really, really, annoyed me. Now I have played a lot of porn games before; I have disliked, hated a lot of them - but Manila Shaw managed to annoy me like no other.

The thing is - this should be a game like I like - the renders are good, the story's intriguing, the animations are meh - it's not bad, you know? Solid 3,4 stars. But the gameplay - oh, the gameplay makes me SO ANGRY THAT I HAD TO TYPE IT IN ALL CAPS AND GIVE IT A -1.

1.) You can't skip dialogue. Believe me, I have tried. A minor point, some would say, but this is only the first of many. It's frustrating, cause you'll be sitting there, pressing Enter key after Enter key, and image would fade out and a new image fades in - and the entire thing is SO SLOW THAT I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT. It's even more bothering mostly, you'll be traveling from one conversation to another - and watching the same scenes takes a toll on my body. (More on that later).

2.) Everyone moves slowly. Even with the dash command on, it's just bearable.

3.) Everything seems just so repetitive. Here's a few -

3a) Every morning, Manila gets up and says she needs a shower. Now, I think it's a good thing that the dev cares about hygiene so much, but really? Every day? It's a game, man. The world isn't going to end.

3b) Shower scene - A choice, everyday, for which shower scene you want to see. Really? What if I DON'T SHOWER?

3c) The car - Every time anyone gets into the car - it takes three seconds for them to leave the FUCKING SCREEN, and three seconds to ENTER THE NEW ONE. EVERY DAMN TIME. And you'll be entering and leaving the car, MULTIPLE TIMES IN A DAY. I never thought I would grow sick of a car engine noise, but here I am.

3d) Working - I don't know who the dev thinks I am - but please, please, please PLEASE, DON'T MAKE ME WORK IN A PORN GAME. AND IF YOU DO, MAKE IT QUICK, OKAY?

3e) EVERY DAY - SIT AT DESK - SCENE CUT - GET PRINT - QUEST UPDATED - GO TO THE ELEVATOR (WAIT THREE SECONDS FOR IT OPEN) KNOCK ON THE DOOR - DUDE SAYS IT'S OPEN (BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO KNOCK EVERYDAY) - YOU ENTER - HE GREETS YOU (IMAGE CHANGE 1 SEC)- YOU GREET HIM BACK (IMAGE CHANGE 1 SEC)-
And I can't take it, people. Really, I have seen this scene 5 days a week everyday. I have seen this scene more than any fucking porn in this game. PLEASE, SPARE ME - at least if I had a option to breeze through it - but no, you can't skip dialogue - and you have to watch this, everyday.

3f) You have to go home, wear lingerie, come back to the TV, spend till midnight doing nothing, return to bed, for a day to end. That's five things that are completely unnecessary and serve no purpose whatsoever, and yet you do them every, fucking, day. I CAN'T TAKE IT.

3g) Manila is environmentally conscious - I like that she switches off the lights when she leaves at night - but REALLY, after the rest of it all, it just grates on me. Just.... why ?

3h) You can't cross screens unless you're on a sidewalk. Uh, WHY? IT'S NOT LIKE THERE ANY CARS RUNNING AROUND!

4.) You can't save in image showing dialogue mode - which means you can't save just before a choice. Really?

5.) I still can't make sense of the combat system - you equip martial arts? How does that work? (This is a minor gripe)

I can't think of anymore at the moment, but I'll add it to the list if I do. While all these are minor things, that's why it bothers me the most - these are all minor problems. I have played RPGMX VX games before - none of them have these. The porn in this game is covered by a lot of padding - which is okay - but the quality of the padding is so bad that it sucks the fun out of the porn parts. It's just so.... SLOW and ANNOYING. Only the weekends are any fun. If the dev was going for realistic simulation of life, he has it. But ... why? WHY?

Just fix the issues, or allow me to play the game at 3x speed, and I'll give it a 4 star rating. I'l go take my meds now. Peace out.

A promising game so far, as usual, it ends as it starts to get really interesting
It would be great if there could be a mechanic implanted to step back in the story and dialogs a bit. I am trying to play it a second time to try the corruption path and it is totally annoying, if you have to start from the last save point again, just because you hit enter one time too often

One of the best games ever. Female protagonist with many routes makes for interesting decisions. Can't wait until the pregnancy switch is activated. Would be good if a future update allowed for Mnila to defeat J. Blue/Red Robin and their evil leader.

One of better games on this site. I actually like RPGM format, at least it's a game instead of static visual novel. Manila's morning routine is quite boring, but besides that it's pretty much cinematic experience.


Pros:
1) It's corruption game from female perspective, which is my favourite. Many naughty scenes.
2) Manila as character. I like her model, she's badass & has interesting proffession. I also love that she starts as virgin. Very few western games have this option. My only nitpick would be very revealing constumes since very beginning (especially red dress). It would be better if her taste would change along with corruption level.
3) Character models in general. Very few female characters, but all of them look great. Also, it's a nice change that most of male characters are fit & good looking. I almost puke when I see all those fat ugly bastards & old hobos fucking hot babes and it's unfortunately standard in other corruption games.
4) Story in general. I'm fed up with 'slice of life' kind of stories that go nowhere. Here we have plot, mistery and police theme.
5) Witcher-like choice & consequence mechanics. It's amazing that every choice opens posibility of new unique scene or plotline in the future. There is more than pure or corrupted route & that motivates player to try every posibility. Kudos for virgin route option.

Cons:
1) Not enough narrative during sex scenes. I would like to see more descriptions & internal thoughts of Manila before, during & after sexual act. It's corruption game after all. We must see how Manila's perception of sex & feelings towards her abuser/blackmailer/sex partner changes as times go.
2) Where is recollection room?
3) Not enough save slots. With this game I have to save every 5 minute, becasue thare is many different routes.

This game is shaping up to be the greatest RPGM games on here. You can see improvements in animation quality as the game shows signs of progress don't be thrown off by older reviews. The game starts with a virgin protagonist and you can be corrupt or just. You don't get game overs from losses. Eventually, there will be the option of prostitution. Who knows we may see a Renpy conversion one day.

I think if I had reviewed this game several months ago, I would have given it 1 or 2 stars, but the story is coming along nicely and there are a lot of things to like about this game.

First of all, Manila is a bad ass and she can opt out of most of the situations. There are few drug induced moments where she has no idea what is happening, but for the most part she can control her own destiny. Also, the animation and pace has started to balance itself out and there are several enjoyable scenes.

On the downside, and this has been said before, it is just way too repetitive in spots. The shower scene in the mornings, the speed of the transitions, the police station routines. There is also no way to replay the scenes.

I am looking forward to future updates.

In a world (made by Abaddon) where everyone is searching for the ultimate individual in human kind Manila stands tall and shouts "Here i'm..Worship me.." One of my favorite gaming characters Manila has it all big tight boobs big tight ass and in general a body to die for not to mention the beautiful face and the expresions that she makes , simply gorgeous..

Pros: 1) The character of Manila and all the above..
2) The lack of other female charaters and that means more content with Manila only..In a world full of meat sticks Manila will catch them all..
3) The story is very good and the kind superhero elements here and there are good too..
4) The pregnacy mode that the creator planning to implement in the game is intriguing to say the least..

Cons: 1) The early animations of the game..Indeed the creator did a great job with the latest anim but the early game is lost forever (or Abaddon will surprice one more time and remake them too )
2) The mistakes in the dialog..Is only logical when English is not your native language but is distracting non the less..

Thats all..The game is awesome and Manila fucking HOT HOT HOT

PROS:

- Lot of hot/lewd situations and full sex scenes already included
- Animations are done well and fluid enough to up the fap appeal
- Backround cop story setting is unique
- Character Models look good
- English translation isn't hard to follow

CONS:

- The sex dialog and cum sound effects are cringe'y as all hell
- The daily repetitive task grind steps in *both* waking up every morning and once you get to work

SUMMARY:

Game feels and plays out pretty much exactly like your typical corruption game such Anna's Affection or Elena's Life for the most part, although I ultimately enjoyed those 2 more then this one. Pacing was faster on this one though, which is obviously a subjective like or dislike.

While I'm not against playing the RPGM format in general (obviously) , mainly due to my preference that games have decent animations on the sex scenes (which RPGM games generally do well on), I'll also note that my overall interest lost a lot of steam after hitting the first couple of them. Which granted in my own case is actually pretty typical with these games. Lot easier for me to overlook the clunky/tedious RPGM play in the name of having those decent animations on the corruption build up then it is once I pass the..."breaking point" so to speak, and then hit the point of just essentially grinding to the next sex scene.

Lastly...I get it. This game is leaning hard on appealing to the whole pregnancy fetish. But jesus freaking christ. You don't need a million and non-stop barrage of different before/during/after dialog references and thoughts to how a somebody wants to fill her womb with cum. And the "SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH" sound effect....too much and too heavy handed there.

Overall it's an average been-there-done-that game, and probably worth the play for a fap or 2.

the game is very entertaining
In addition to the main missions you have the secondary ones every decision that you take influence later
the batlla method seems very good
the only thing that would correct of this game are the animations (they have to improve)

For someone that generally doesn't like RPGM games; this wasn't too bad, actually it was pretty good. It's not very grindy (so far) and the story is progressing very naturally as you do the all quests. Quests are nice and simple, but you can make your own decisions depending on the route you take in the game. Corruption is the obvious route for most people, and I'm not really sure what benefits there are to playing the "good-cop" route yet. I'm not even sure if we can even call it a route, because it seems to be structured in that way where you can make different decisions (good or bad) in different situations. This is also what I prefer personally, because usually routes become more "locked down" once you have made a certain amount of decisions in one direction.

The animations are a bit static and clunky but hey they get the job done, and I feel like that aspect can be improved on later on. The biggest "annoyance" for me would be the quest updates, because they happen so frequent I found myself always going into the quest log to see my next objective/tasks. Of course with many of them you could guess what you needed to do next, but at the same time it could be solved by "simply" showing on the screen what your next objective is. Like a on-screen box that disappears after a while, similar to what you saw with the "hints" that were triggered sometimes. Overall a good game thus far, and I'm looking forward to the future updates (v0.09).

A role-playing game must have a good adventure to become a good game, even a porn game. A thrilling plot in an adventure must include that the protagonist experience crises. So I find that I always look for porn games that are starred by women, because women who play the leading role in porn games always experience crises. And a smart, talented author will make the female protagonist have a choice in the event. After I played so many porn games with female protagonists, I found that if you think that the heroine in the game is wise, it must be the author of the game is also wise.

I review the demo, and I must admit it's very good for a start. It have more contents than some games which are labelled finished. The game as now is very polish, the main character is very gorgeous, and seeing a police officer being blackmailed is not usual. At least you don't have the impression to play the same game with another skin.

Smoking hot babe with an amazing and sculpted belly.....Love you Manila...
Branching storyline is one of the highlights of the game., Animations have improved when compared to the older versions but still needs work. The render pics look lovely. The lighting is fantastic.

This game have a really good history and i think this Project can go far its already in a good version for download and try the variables routes u have to play for me the only problem is the animation of the scenes i think can get better but the game is really good. Its not a problem but im not a fan of RPGM but this is really good
