after playing 2 hours i got bored from the evil and angel non uneful talking
i think iam not going to continue it

It exellet. It deserve 5 stars.
All good.
Corruption are well written.
Story is awsome.
Succubus and Fairy are good and reflect each other like all of us.


It will be nice If someone make it as Visual Novel in Ren'py. Cause I would love to see how it gonna end in the end look like and if thin it gonna be greet like this one..

I dont knwo if this improves at some point but, this rpmg is slow, there are a lot of moments wher you have to wait or an nimation to start, and then they play and cou can only speed them up wiht the skip button.
Those animations are horrendous, theyare 2 or 3 frames lopped, and more like animations are slight chage in poses, one of those you do in 15 seconds moving a couple of joints.

There are people out there who does this type of game, doesnt use animations but their renders are good and tell stories better and make their games at least fappable. This may be the last game of this "female prrotagonist" type that i would recommend to anyone.

This is the game that hasd the most amount of GB per piece of enjoyment. Its 5 GB and 0 pieces of enjoyment.

Very long and dragged out, nothing happens for very long periods of time before anything interesting starts.
the animations could've been done better to

It gets one star for animations terrible
it gets minus one star for long and dragged out conversations makes you sleepy
It gets three stars for average corruptions mechanics
it gets minus 2 stars for the non-working blue portal in lustland
it gets four stars for the hot succubuses

I had to write a review since I almost passed on this based on the prior ones here. That would have been a real shame, since this is a real good game. Yes, it's rough around the edges, the story and art is bit clumsy here and there, but only compared to the better games out here.

So why did I like it?

The story is unique and fairly nuanced. It's been a while since I played a game to see what would happen. Unlikeost games here it's not just a vessel for porn content. I really liked it.
The devil/angel set up works well and injects humor into a rather dark series of events. The balance is well done. There is several endings, which are very different to each other.

There is actual characters with agency and a protagonist that's not completely brain dead. This may sound like faint praise, but it sets this game apart.

The RPGM engine is used well, the areas are small and well contained, no endless wandering.

If you can handle darker themes and want a decent story, give it a try. This is a much better game than it seems from the other reviews. Thank you for trying to do something different with your games.

Story and characters: 2/2
I like the idea of the story. Choices appear meaningful but in the end didn't seem to matter that much. Both routes seemed different and are interesting. Fun main and side characters. Especially the little mini versions of the main character. (Just those two turn up to score from 1.5 to a 2)

Content and bugs: 0.5/1
Didn't encounter any bugs and a completed game with a good amount of content. But it is in RPGM and therefore limited in functionality.

Graphics and sound: 1/2
Graphics are okay. Typical, mediocore daz 3d renders.

Conclusion: 3.5/5 and 3 stars.

Note: Normally I would round up but since this was one of the first games I played from this site I might be a bit biased.

Something is wrong with the game engine, it uses too much processor. Either the game is badly done or does some funny business like mining bitcoins. The game also crashea at random points. Don't waste time downloading it.

I really wanted to like this game. Graphics are good. Story has some complexity. The MC is hot. But . . .

- Pauses. Lots of pauses. Between pictures. Between text streams. Completely takes you out of the moment and probably made the game 33% longer to complete. [And no - not because of my computer -- haven't experienced this on ANY other RPGM game.]
- Pauses were SO annoying that I didn't even try to play this on my own. I typically try it without a walkthrough first and then go back with a walkthrough to get most / all of the scenes. No way was I doing that with the time it took just to Enter through each screen / text box.
- Pointless RPGM content -- I don't mind RPGM. But playing hide and seek with no payoff? The first rounds of special quests are just walrking around with little to no story development or sex scenes. Just annoying.
- Plot / Character development -- I didn't think it was that "rapey" as other reviewers have commented. Zoe just became a slut almost immediately. So there was no "tension" in the story. No sense of control for the player.
- Sex scenes - there are a lot, but only a handful are actually sexy. A lot of different positions, but the point of view was often uninteresting (e.g. girl-on-girl where all you see is the back of the head moving).
- Laaaaaaaaaaaaaarge RPGM world. The house (where much of the action takes place) is huge - so lots of walking. the outside world was also spreadout - so when you had to walk, you were walking far.
- Crashes. For a "completed" game this thing crashed a lot. Probably a dozen times. Save often!
- No features for the player - such as "W" or "CTRL" to speed through text. No button to hide the text box (e.g. "H" or "SHIFT"). I did not find a gallery.
- Petty annoyance example that takes the player out of the moment: the main house has three pianos . I noticed this too often and found myself wondering "Why the fuck do they have three pianos?" when I should have been interested in the story.

Advice: If you're gonna play this then use the two walkthroughs. The ridiculous amount of time it takes to "Enter" through the game makes it too annoying to play on your own and then follow different paths. I used the "spreadsheet" walkthrough for decision making and the "blog" walkthrough for the special quests.

Summary: If this had some standard features (and no long, recurring pauses ALL THE DAMN TIME) then I might have given this 3 or maybe even 4 stars. But as designed, the game is nearly unplayable. Unless you have the patience of a saint - and I'm betting not many saints are playing porn games.

Amazing concept and the actual corruption without losing personality or independence much better than the standard airhead bimbo closet nympho has sex a few times and fully corrupted cum addict.

The renders were also great.

The endings were quality and varied unfortunately the path to ending not so much.

Sadly the story had massive holes a truck could drive through and a lot of them, plot devices were whimsical and often stupid or counterproductive. The lust path especially bad, in creating corruption tools with two agents of lust there is no way any person would not have been driven straight into siding with Fey. There is no character driven reason a person with even low intelligence would have joined the lust side and only reason is to see all the H scenes and endings. Darius was a great character but totally out of place in this game.

There are way to many pointless renders that not erotic, not adding anything to story or even useful as background for text. Render time that would have been much better spent on adding extra frames to animations. The two frame animations just a waste of effort and over a decade out of date which a huge waste considering quality of renders and the morphing tools between frames.

The wrong engine used, although some effort went into playing with the free roam system it was never really used for more than hide and seek or pointless marker chasing. Added to issue RPGM has with going from dialogue to menu choices using same keys to progress dialogue and make choice leading to first option in menu getting picked repeatedly unintentionally and lack of rollback to correct always leading to lost of wasted time.

Sorry but the complete ineptitude of two recruiters was to much, I not sure if it was meant to be comedic but considering how dark results were each time it really wasn't funny.

Seeing quality of his other work he either learnt a lot in this project and/or he lost faith in RPGM early but wanted at least to finish game . (It actually started out very well and holes really only started appearing during the snow trip. There is still one item in each of the initial fey and lust training menus incomplete.

Some people seem to say choices made a lot of difference,,,,I beg to differ. It changed H scenes but you could go all fey or all Lust entire way and the story progression was unchanged and at end you could talk to elders to pick either ending or you could go a balanced path entire way and chose either direct ending at end...and all 3 paths had exactly same storyline even if you took M&M up mountain with you the next day they suddenly were never there and didn't ever mention losing a days memories.

What can you say. Amazing characters, superb writing & backdrop for the story, good quality CG, good pacing & interesting choices a lot of the time.
It could have easily been a 6/5. This is the first game where I actually want to read all of the dialogue instead of skipping anything. It's that good.

But 9/10 times the main character is not "tempted" as much as having her hand forced and violated in situations that don't leave you a choice but leave you frustrated.
You get a good buildup and then the game spits you in the eye, forces you to completely drop out of character and kills all of that.
Even some of the benign sexual encounters are lacking in chemistry between the participants.

It's a puzzling disappointment. After/on day 6 I couldn't take it anymore and had to quit even though I really wanted to see the characters progress. I Pushed myself through day 9 and the forced narrative/rapeyness just keeps getting worse.
You can only get smacked in the face so many times before it stops being fun.
Huge shame.

If engagement doesn't bother you and you're only after the CG, it might be a 3-4 rating for the good quality CG, but in that case, progression even when skipping would be painfully slow, so it'd be better to just enjoy the source images directly & outside of the game.

I really don't have much to say about this one. I honestly kind of hate myself for being a perfectionist that had to see it through to the end. The only great things I can say about it is the image quality is solid and your choices actually seem to matter most of the time (when you're not going to get raped at least).

I guess I'll start with that. This game is way too rape-y and I tried to avoid it as much as possible. Part of me is hoping the writer was using Zoe as some kind of metaphor for America and how it's used and abused by threats both internal and external, but that's just an insane theory. Seeing her raped over and over and somehow end up fine at the end just makes her look naive and dumb and not strong.

This game also has zero reason of being on RPGM, it's really just a visual novel. I'll admit I am not a fan of RPGM games but when I play them I expect at least some combat, otherwise it's just shitty busy work you're doing unless you've got some kind of daily schedule (which can also be done quite effectively in Ren'Py now from what I've played). You're constantly going to a shiny spot on the map in this game to progress the story, which gave me a bit too many QTE flashbacks.

While there are some fine scenes and concepts, there are much better games on this site in my opinion. Possibly check out Lab Rats if you're into the whole influence thing.
In the end I was both glad to have finally been done with the game and mad at myself for having played it. I instantly deleted it from my hard drive and after this review I'll probably never think of this game again.

This game...


Honestly, I played the 0.8 version, and this is the gripe I have with the game.


It works fantastic as a story, just not an erotic one. The writing is fantastic, and if this dude/dudette made this game into a novel and cut out all the bad sex things... It would be good.


Honestly, at one point I was so touched by the story in this game, that I stopped touching myself.


The thing is, that the sex scenes in this game are not interesting. Its just standard porn scenarios. Hot people having sex. Nothing more to see here folks.


Its the story that is phenomenal. It just makes me sad that this game has so bad sex scenes. I have repeated that five times or something now, but they were just so fucking disappointing.


TL;DR

Story: Fantastic depth of characters, fantastic dialogue, characters have arcs.

Sex Scenes: Just two hot people fucking, or sometimes three. Nothing special whatsoever. Incredibly lacking.

It is a really good game, You can choose between evil and good. The Decisions effect the gameplay! The game is easily 10 hours and it had a replay value!
Graphics: 9/10
Gameplay: 9/10
Playtime: 10/10
Awesome game!
