    The android version and pc version on Joiplay just crashes, with no clear indication, and then nearby saves are rendered useless as it crashes at that point at all times, it has happened in different places and is really frustrating to the point I have deleted/unistalled. I've given 2 stars because the art is nice, but in terms of mobile it is unplayable which is shocking considering its basically a point and click.

    Keep in mind that I am reviewing this version on its own, I have not played the original.

    I can see the appeal, but there are several problems that are just too much for me to continue the game. For example, when I first was able to interact with Tonks, I saw that I can improve my relations with her by hanging out with her. I thought maybe that would unlock sex scenes or something, but it doesn't seem like much has changed after doing the "hang out" action many times with her. I also find those conversations with her pretty dull, and there doesn't seem to be any way to skip them.

    In regards to the sexual favours, the game does not give you many hints as to what you need to do to be able to do certain sexual favors. It would be helpful if the fail scenes at least gave you some proper pointers as to what to do next.

    Those are just two nitpicks of mine. As for the positives, I think the art is alright, and I quite like the trainer formula. However, I don't think I will be continuing this game.

    Genie is supposedly a pervert who's horny all the time, gets a bj offer from one of the girls, Nymphadora, and he says "nahhh, Im not feeling it today, why don't you go suck off one of your students instead?"

    It was at that moment, after several hours of GRINDING without a SINGLE scene, that I threw this mod in the trash.

    Funnily enough, whoever (re)wrote this garbage had the balls to shit on the game's original developer in one of the dialogues. Well, at least the Russian drunkard finished a game (more than one actually) and with CONTENT on it. I'm not saying there are no improvements over the original, but not where it matters.

    Also, this mod lacks the "NTR" and "text based" Tags.

    In conclusion, WTS is a waste of time.

    terribly slow updates, clearly missing contents, abscence of actual scenes, features not fully fledged, too much filler stuff,...
    but hey, you got tons of clothes tho, most of which you'll never see or just don't want to

    Years ago it seemed to have potential, but the developers dropped the ball hard.
    Super slow updates that add little to nothing or take away from the existing content and the content that they manage to push out is inferior to the akabur's core game, which have been changing for the worse aswell.
    Biggest gripe for me is the new cgs that are drawn by complete amateur and are unwankable. The weakness of the new story and useless unfun mechanics that they have been adding are not helping the case.
    This has turned to patreon cash grab.

    A brilliant game turned to unplayable mush.

    The review down below me has some good points, but I loved the dress up element because it tickled my bimbofication fetish, you got to see Hermione dress up sluttier as you played.

    However, they've utterly ruined that element of the game, and guess how? By making it unplayable and buggy, because of a fancy loading screen, that requires a high-end PC... No added gameplay, or massively upgraded graphics. Nope...a loading screen, one that isn't even that interesting. The clothing mechanic is now buggy, and often crashes the game, if you're not waiting ages for it to load.

    I've played it off a cheap android smartphone, expensive tablet, and modest Pc that can handle GTA V at the very least, but it's too low end for the loading screen.

    It's been going downhill for a while, adding new girls, and never finishing story lines at an exceeding pace, but now they are starting to change Akaburs original dialogue (he is a fantastic writer as far as porn game Devs go), and messing around with pointless mechanics that block out most people and for the most pointless reasons (a rubbish looking loading screen and half arsed UI changes).

    This game ain't worth it anymore. It's unplayable. Really sad to watch it happen too :/

    Y'know what, it took me a while to realize that I just don't care about this mod anymore. On paper this mod sounds like it should be gold (or, well silver I guess) because it's just adding more scenes and girls to an alright if somewhat underwhelming foundation.

    But in reality it just doubles down on the dress up part of the game while stumbling over literally every single other thing it strives to add.
    -Luna lovegood has been entirely reworked, at the cost of losing pretty much all of her scenes and story.
    -Astoria greengrass has been reworked, but ever since she's been added she's had pretty much fuck all going on anyway so whatever.
    - Susan bones...fucking who? She still has nothing going on.
    - Tonks? You can drink with her and play dress up, that's it.
    - What the fuck is even the point of the card game that they added?
    - I forgot because it changes like the weather, were potions working or broken at this point?

    Now keep in mind these updates re adding things that were already in the game, or just removing large chunks of the game, are coming out at glacial pace. Either they're milking a fucking mod of a game for money or they just genuinly don't know what the fuck they're doing, either way I suspect games stuck in early access hell on steam like project zomboid or 7 days to die will finish before this and I just don't care to watch anymore

    I must say, I usually find Ren'py games very boring and unfun to play but this game really surprised me. I knew the original version which was already quite alright but it is even better now. I didn't find myself skipping all the uninteresting and useless dialogues, the dialogues (since it's the topic) are very funny. Absurd humour is my cup of tea so you bet I liked them. The progression of the corruption and perversion of the girls is coherent, somewhat a bit long but it is compensated by the dialogues. the girls don't go from "Oh no Professor i would never do this" to "Oh sure Professor anything you want and ask me to do" in 2 days.
    The little downside is the lack of CGs but they seem to be on their way, slowly but surely. Overall, this is a masterpiece of the Ren'py engine

    Makes a very alright game much much better like absurdly better. Removes the stupid book grind stuff but also on a negative note removes some important pop ups and mentions of certain things like for example how the bird does nothing or some solid statements that give quite clear indication on how you are coming along

    The mod definitively expands the game worthy, just like we would expect, and they added more mechanics, not only new content with girls. I just wanted to know where in the game that hairjob scene occours because i wasn't capable of finding it, but every other aspect is good as they show. Incredible increment in history and the graphics are better than the vanilla one. I really like how they reduced the grinding and made the playthrough more funny, like the interactions with Snape. Congratulations for the team.

    The Akabur content is quite good, but clearly unfinished. The Silver content, while not as good as Akabur, is at least adequate and building upon his foundation. I do wish they stuck to his foundation a bit more though, because it seems like some of the direction they're going in is either random or not nearly as interesting as the Hermione content. A card game? So odd. And I know the other girls aren't the main focus so its fair they don't get the same attention as Hermione, but honestly the level of the writing isn't nearly as good. The Silver writers can sometimes be on the QUITE wordy side, and with little payoff. The looks of the characters are mostly appealing, but their events just aren't executed as well as their design.
    Overall its a cool game, but I personally don't find anything outside of the main Hermione content to be satisfying.

    ...haven't played the latest versions, but the game was pretty fun, if I recall correctly. It was one of my first VN style games, even if I prefer management or other genres. Come to find out, it's a mod still being patched, which is great.

    I keep coming back to check the progress on this, and there is none.
    Yeah, they add "costumes". Because... reasons?

    Look, guys, if I wanted to play dress-up doll, I'd play Sims 4 with Wicked Whims installed. Seriously.

    Not to mention that the costumes you put on characters don't show up in sex scenes. Those start and end with the normal school uniforms. So in the end there is zero reason to spend time and effort and resources for those costumes.

    I get it, they are easier to make, and you can show some "progress". But we, players, want to see progress in terms of story, character relationship, lewd scenes, not in some lame costume.

    If you look at update history, it's all you see. Added costumes / outfits. You are pretty much taking Project Zomboid habit to add one towel color / update.

    1 star reduction for the terrible performance and content removal (though I understand it's probably better overall for the writing consistency).

    This mod fixes a lot of issues I had with Akabur's trainers, mainly that it is a very niche sub-genre of trainers where you are corrupting people for other's sake. Most trainers inspired by Akaur at least give you the choice between personal or public route, or alter the ending formular so that you are the one that gains the most. This mod fixes Hermione's route while keeping the writing consistent.

    The additional character they added are very diverse and each has there own twist of the trainer formula, and all have very good writing.

    How the story has layed out so far also leaves huge room for future interactions between characters post-corruption, which is always a good thing.

    I've tried a variety of iterations of witch trainer silver.

    It's strange how much of good content has been removed over time. I have no evidence for it, but I get the impression that it's morally motivated, which is a strange thing for a game that is at its heart about the corrupt trading of sexual favors at a school.

    The writing isn't close to the quality of the original game. There are many choices and options that I found profoundly unsexy, which I did not encounter in the original game. And rather than anticipating the broader palette of sexuality that the mod offers, a lot of the content HAS to be done in order to get to other content, even though the way the game is set-up gives perfect room to give the player choice which content to engage with and which to avoid.

    It's a profound failure of competence. Saved from a 1 star only by the broader selection of girls and outfits compared to the original.

    This is a review of the mod, not the game itself (which is still fantastic).
    I have been following this mod ever since SadCrab started their own separate project. It was originally done by1 guy named Mo coder, and they where adding tons of content, that was in line with the game. I want to say about 3 years ago, as Mo was getting swamped with other work, they brought on more people to help. Ultimately nobody knows why Mo left, but I have strong suspicions that it was because of the growing team hating the direction they where going.
    2 years of work, and they have almost nothing to show. They went backwards, removed tons of content, sanitized the storyline, and basically have just floundered on wanting to add their own content.
    It's the oldest game dev story, where everyone wants to add their OC, and the people brought on to help took over to make sure their waifu gets the branched out storyline.
    The fact that at one point there was a threesome with Luna is now gone, and the game now runs at a snails pace (I haven't had it crash to be fair) is pretty telling that the person who spearheaded most of the stuff is gone and we are getting someone elses game inside of a better game.

    Akabur games are pretty cool, and can be pretty funny too. I also really like his artstyle. But let's be honest, the guy is unreliable : Witch Trainer was done in quickly and is overall pretty lacking. BUT that's where team Silver comes in !
    Although development is bit chaotic (whole arcs added then cut to be rewriten what ?), the added parts are really good, and art managed to stay coherent (although they redid some of it).
    However grade is only 3 stars, because nearly every new version requires you to start over : a safe fast forward button would be greatly appreciated because doing so with cheats tends to break the game.

    Version: v1.43.2

    Make no mistake, this is a great trainer game, yet i cant give it a high rating because of the simple fact that im just not feeling this game. Games from akabur have their own distinct feel and style to it, yet, this is a mod of that game, not the original and in my eyes, it has failed to uphold the spirit of the original authors style of game.

    Despite all of that, good game.

    This game was good in the original, but the support from the team that has built this continuation is really impressive. Art and story is constantly being improved, even if unevenly or some stories are basically static between several updates. Previous version also have storylines that have been removed, tweaked, or are planned to be reworked, so there is still something to be had by playing older versions

    Even though it is still being worked on and occasionally tweaked in a slightly different way, this game has the best combination of artwork, game style, character interaction and adult content that I have found.
