Others - Not My Body! [Build 38 - 2] [Pululon]

First of all you have to be aware this game is nothing you already seen. The graphical interface is not easy to understand at first as for the quest system. BUT after time it's finally very easy. The story and the drawings are amazing you I recommand to play this game and get thought the hard start.

This is a Lovecraft like story with a gorgeous milf as main character.

Drawing is in grey color and are amazing, the story is very immersive and mix horror and porn, but in a good way. This is a deep story and you will have a lot of VERY exciting side story. She's a kinky milf with wraith in her, you will have to discover why and what his behind appearance.

The quest system is based on the contact phone app and a diary, after some time you will find this very good, because you have preciselly what is the story, what have been done and wht you should do to progess.

Pros :

Story +++
Drawing +++
Perks and skill ++
Quest system ++ (I mean after month you can read diary and remind the full story and what you have to do)

Cons
Graphical interface ---
Inventory --
Some bugs -

It sucks just trying to play the prologue. Weird shit like using the right mouse click to progress. Too hard to read. Resolution is like 200 pixels or some shit. I don't even know what content it has because the opening is unplayable.

This game has all the mechanics already implemented and has sexual content of 3-4 patreon games already. I'm damn serious, I've downloaded 5 star games that had less overall content than a single scene of this game.

Build 28:

Played the game for about 30 minutes then i had to quit. The text ist so small and combined with the black&white theme it was just to hard for me to read all. From day one you can play some demon at night but it wasnt explained at all who or what she is... well maybe it was explaind but then again, the small text and the problem with how readable it is.

So dont see my rating as about the game itself but only about the UI but this alone let me stop playing it.

I will try to be as fair as possible as I ridicule this game for all of its wrong doing's however I will stress... there are a lot of them.

Let start with the art style

At first glance it looks amazing you see this cool black and white comic book art style, very fresh and original considering this site is flooded by renpy VN games all using the same models.

Then you start playing and after a few hours my thoughts are closer to the following, am I missing something here or is this game painfully boring...... even when you do eventually find some content which might I add will require you spend hours repetitively doing the same things over and over with no information given to push you in the right direction, the scenes themselve's feel painfully slow an boring to watch as it slowly animates 10 different message boxes across the screen in the slowest manner possible.

The art style would be brilliant if this dev had a clue how to acurately draw the comic book feel, take a look at any comic book you like and the first thing you will see there's actually very little happening in each depiction, they keep it light so as not to clutter every page with unnecessary garbage the way this dev does.

It just makes my eyes hurt, it's an eyesore if ever I saw one.

Story line events are cluttered with multiple images an multiple lines of dialog but that's not all, to top it off the dev adds random sound effects spelled out across the pages in various locations it's a mess and clearly there has been 0 thought put into it.

Encase you're confused as to what I mean by that last statement think batman comics, think POW!!!!!


Next we move on to the mechanics

Everything about this game feels clunky and unpolished, the dev has most definitely not heard the term technical debt before... The UI is okay things are easy to find but its downfall is that its poorly explained you have this massive stats page filled with unlockable stuff but there's almost no explaination as to how most of it is unlocked or what any of it is really used for.

Again almost all actions feel clunky as though they need to be reworked, transistioning between scenes or areas of the map, using the seduce of steal mechanics, working or flirting all of these suffer from poor load times and clanky latency like issues that just makes the whole experience uncomfortable.

The game seems to be riddled with bugs that cause you to become stuck in conversation and locations without any way to get out, so if it's your first time through and you haven't been saving like mad man well sucks to be you because you will get fucked over at some point by this.

Final thoughts

If I want the dev to take something away from this review it would be the following, you clearly have artistic talents and a basic understanding of coding practices, you should take a step back and polish this turd before it's to late.

If your feeling overwhelmed by the project bring others onboard to help you because your game is going down the shitter fast.

Fix the clunky game mechanics, remove some of the clutter from the scenes so as to stop damaging people retina's and for the love of christ add some proper guides/tips to push players in the right direction, you have to find a good balance between hand holding the player and leaving them stranded which you currently don't have.

This is a tough game to rate because I really like it, but it also has a few issues.

I really love the idea of playing a dark and evil female that can even kill people, this tingle my sadistic side perfectly so in a way this is the perfect protagonist for me. But on the other hand, she is also quite kind at times, so it's not perfect.

The art style and foundation of the clothing system and UI is really promising, but the negative to me is that it is a bit too much grind. You also don't really have the best quest system because it highlights that something is available but nothing happens every time I go there. (the school just keep repeating everything over and over with nothing to progress)

So I like it, but the game play doesn't really do it for me much. I kind of wish this was a visual novel comic style story instead without the mini games. I would still recommend people try it because it's different than a lot of game here.

Great game, 5 stars from me. I realy like that black&white comic style of the game. Also there is a many options for dressing main character + that sandbox feel. Game can be grindy a bit from time to time, but is not insane grindy.
Keep up the great work!

Great Game, love the visuals and the atmosphere of the game, a few bugs here and there but seeing how its still being worked on i can give that a pass.

Overall a i would suggest you give this a try if you like a the black and white motif it has going on.

Good art, interesting plot and story, decent writing and plenty of stuff to do.

All of that is completely irrelevant since the game is a giant mess of game breaking bugs and horrible UI design, making it both a pain and a chore to actually play.
Avoid unless you enjoy being constantly frustrated, otherwise ,just use the gallery.

edit: further development of the game only made it worse, even more critcal bugs and now the gallery unlocker doesn't even work. avoid

It's awesome, the Art is absolutely top. Even if i am usually not a fan of black and white. The drawing is so clear that it is no problem at all.
game play and story are also great and fluid. It can be a bit confusing and there are some bugs but overall it's not possible to give this game less than a full rating specially compared with all the other stuff available.
One of the best games on here!

Great artwork, great story, great scenes. Has a few bugs tho but you can live with them as the game autosaves and you can easily backtrack.
The cheat menu helps with grinding, so the grinding is sort of avoidable. Not many games here have glued me like this one.

PROS:
Story
Artwork
Genre’s well represented
Crafting
Unique interactions with NPCs
Unique events with jobs
Female Protagonist
Combat system coming along nicely
Sand Box environment
Auto Save Feature
Tons of clothes that have stats
Powers system
Freaking awesome sex scenes
Mini games are skippable
Game is grindy but the grind is paid off with some wink wink rewards

CONS
Black and white images (Minor Gripe)
No blatant quest markers/tracking for some quests (Requires you to pay attention to what some NPCs say when you should visit them or be wearing certain clothing)
Currently bugs alot and freezes up (Thankfully there is a auto save feature that saves everytime you leave your appt)
Unverified but I believe using some of the cheats cause characters to not spawn when they should (Greg being at the Bar)
Some dialog has not been proofed yet so there are some errors
Games is grindy

It tries to be different but it's just not that interesting, UI and moving around and even skipping scenes is sluggish, the mini game(that I'm glad you can skip) is just pointless, mashing a button then pressing another has 0 thought put into it, lots of missing scenes while wearing other clothing, lots of repetitiveness while doing going for the main story too, figured a game from 2017 would've had more polishing than this.

A game about the occult with some damn fine art, story and gameplay mechanics. The style is also pretty unique in the genre and there is lots of variety.

Just the bugs, often bad performance and difficult quest progression would be a reason for a thumbs down.

Always enjoy a dark story with a self empowering play. Proper English grammar and sentience structure could be better but I've seen worse. The art style is original and the story feels very organic and not some spin off of another spin off like most other Adult games these days. Simply wonderful. I'll be crossing my fingers hoping the Dev wont drop this project. We see too many games with great potential surface and quickly drop off the face of the planet while being stuck with....the more 'common' content. I'll be keeping a close eye on this one for a long time. Hopefully maybe see it completed. A girl can dream.♥

It's a pretty interesting game, especially notable for the degree to which it's illustrated, but I recoiled in horror from the UI. The quest scenes, those where you have to click to show every next panel (sometimes several times) are unbearable for anyone with reading speed faster than the animation. It's like reading a book with someone poking you and saying "Hey, wait!" after each line. This is utterly unplayable as is.

This is a really fun game! There is a lot to do and a bunch of stuff to find. My favorite is sometimes you get different scenes based on how well you do with the mini games. Great artwork, nice clean appeal. Can't wait to see more!

Great art, fantastic premise flawed by multiple errors in coding and lack of proper English localization and proofreading. Clean up that code, get a volunteer to work the grammar and this game would be a real gem.

The good surprise of the week, a BD style superbly mastered, a beautiful potenial to come
A lot of grind, so a function to skip the many repetitive animations is fundamental, that is why the benefits of each action should be clearly notified (+ X points)

I personally feel this game has a lot of good potential. I'll write my review in Pros and Cons format -

Pros -
1. Wow story is actually interesting once i started taking time with the scenes and text.
2. There is a in-depth perk and skill tree that was really eye opening. The dev has put nice effort into it.
3. Art style/comic strip style is pretty nice IMHO.
There is a very powerful scene with two NPCs that might be a spoiler if i reveal it here.. but man, the emotions that the NPCs and MC was feeling during that scene was pretty strong and wild.
4. I easily played it for nearly 3-4 hours and unlocked couple of sex scenes.
5. Clothing that affects NPCs.. I, personally was dressing my MC decently until i realized that NPCs react to my clothing.

Over all a might good effort by the dev on this game.

Cons (Most of it is on the UI and the gameplay) Though i think it can be rectified in some update)
1. U cant skip forward or rewind. There is no history log of the conversations.
2. Its not linear and there is no current objective marker, so at times you will randomly roam about without knowing what you are doing wrong or right.
3. Excessive clicking required
4. Mini games can be frustrating, but there is a skip option.
5. Game crashed a few times. (clicking on Landlord's home, at times while talking to the Mr. Cunning and Cassandra Lomer)
6. Saved game has no numbering system or time recorded so high chances to get confused if you use all slots for saving.
