you know, i am the first one in line to say we need more feral content. Especially feral ponies. The artwork here is god tier, amazing stuff that I hope to one day achieve myself. however, making twilight sparkle into a rapist is beyond forgiveness. Especially when, from what I can read in the comments, the only way to not have the player be raped 'in second person so its worse than third person by a few miles' is to actively choose sex. There should be an option for 'no sex' using creative decision-making, Twilight of all ponies should not be a rapist, and the rape scene didn't even come off as dubcon, its just brutal rape with a poor crying girl.
I love the fact its lesbian horse sex, that is just and proper. I kinda wish it was all original characters instead of being fanfiction (that would remove my anger for twilight here). and I love the actual artwork.
Perhaps if there's an update I'll check it out, but... i do not want to play any routes other than open whorse at this point because it sounds like the game is just going to be awful for 90 percent of players.
You need to let players know there is rape in the warning in game at least. Don't sugar coat it, just say what it is. and say that sex is unavoidable, either be a whorse or be raped. let people know before they get invested that these are the only two options.
I'll come back later to see any updates, but... this needs some work to help not traumatize people in second person. (second person makes it worse because its now 'you' who's being hurt, not a character.)
The main character is effectively a slave at a high class brothel, so having a choice can do nothing more than change the character's treatment, but not actually prevent things from happening. Although a warning would be nice.
yeah, and if we knew that going in. It would have saved us, and probably a bunch of other people. I do think the game should exist. It has every right to. (though perhaps not on itch, you can probably figure out why) It just has a lot of problems with it's own setting that causes issues. I am the last person who should be saying you shouldn't break Twilight out of character but I kind of went in thinking this was a fully original piece of work with some parody, so I was expecting like "Blightly Barkle' not actually Twilight Sparkle. Not to mention some misleading statements from the dev about avoiding such treatment. It's still a demo though so perhaps it will have a 'no sex' route in the final game. if it does I might try playing it again but I will probably hold off for further reviews next time. (in truth I might still try it out and just make the mc a whorse so its 'safe' to read.) The pov choice though is traumatizing. Seriously, most games that focus on rape-play content like that clair's quest gold, have the girl as a third person pov so you the player are not the one being assaulted, you are just a watcher enjoying from the sidelines.
I've had way too much time to think about this game. Still keep an eye on it, just man... its not something that should be without serious warning. This is one of the more violent things I've found on itch, and thats with games that have actual warnings for said content.
I think the next step for improving the overall vibe for more people to enjoy it is simple. 1: change the pov so its third person, not 2nd person. Almost no one wants to be the rape victim directly. 2: change twilight sparkle's name to anything else Dawn Shimmer, Twilight Shine, Dusk Dawnbreaker, or something. (this is entirely personal and biased on me) 3: add in a very clear warning in the start of the game that this is a rape fiction game, and what kind of rape fiction 4: add in a no-sex route so that more people can find a way to enjoy the world and story, yes they miss a lot of content, that's okay. it will help with visibility.
none of these need to happen, and I'm just one eldritch abomination who's overly opinionated on ponies. So take this with a grain of salt, or with an entire can of salt. It's just what came to mind to help make it easier for people to get into it.
It would be amazing to see this take off, otherwise people are going to have to wait 10+ years for our art to catch up to this level and then I still don't get something to enjoy personally XP
disgusting, I thought there was a choice in the game, and not the illusion of choice, plus the story is crap, just for masturbation, downloading the game is a mess
Oh... you play as a mare. Suggestion, if it's going to be a game about your character hooking up with mares, maybe give us an option to play as a stallion or a mare? Screenshots suggest you play as a maid, if it's a stallion you can easily make him a butler.
What a shame that your plans are not there. I see a lot of potential for mobile devices since since I don't have a PC and I only have a phone, I would like to be able to try it.
I made this account to soley say if you can avoid ALL. rape scenes in this I'd give it a thumbs up. I won't rate it rn because its unfinished but the rape scene leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.
But more is needed to solve the problem. Your solution entirely entirely avoids it.
Since this isn't an already named character and you instead PUT the name for the character along with how it just looks like an anon. I get the impression that this is controlled how you want it to be controlled. so for example if I were to roleplay this realistically.
I wouldn't suddenly choose the "Lusty" options because that would break the character as they don't realistically wanna suddenly fuck every pony they see. This is under the assumption you choose all the options that refuse it all for example refusing to take your clothes off. now that choice I liked because it had some actual weight to it. but if I continually choose the option to refuse being treated like a prostitute choosing the "Lusty" option to avoid the rape scene doesn't make much sense in character. You would be going from “Please don’t touch me” to “Touch me please” In the snap of a finger and most ocs don’t behave like that.
Now if you're roleplaying your character as "Get out by any means necessary" or you roleplay your character liking the place then choosing the lust options does make sense. but saying "You can avoid them. Be more lustful" does not work when you have options to refuse that. why would you add the options to refuse and struggle if the solution to avoid them was to click the other options to be more lustful?
I'm sorry for the rant but this just really grinds my gears.
Nice music, beautiful art (the backgrounds are amazing) and a super cute main character. Curious where this will lead. Maybe have an option between getting raped and jumping on him? Like either kind or an 'or else' style persuasion. But anyway, great work so far! Would love to see more.
It is a good premise. My opinion would be to lean in to the gamification and less towards the visual novel. You may be tempted to make this into a straight shot visual novel with predefined characters that asks the player to click through and experience the story, though personally I would caution against that. I would encourage you to rather set this up as a game where the main character must earn her way out by selecting and serving clients. The player could then have to manage resources such as money (she wants to be free but a girl has to eat), energy (she has to rest at some point and cannot sustain to great a pace), and even something like a submissiveness that she could learn over time allowing the player access to even more options as the story progresses. I think the standard visual novel would work here as well, but I think that this premise leans well into a resource management game. A lot of us have played a lot of similar games where you have to manage a brothel, it might be interesting to manage yourself within a brothel. Regardless of what you decide to do I think you are off to a solid start.
Oh I got a good idea for a sex scene The Main Girl gets dragged under a bed by a Clown Doll of Pinkie Pie and It's a futa one and it drags Her under the bed and fucks Her under it.

Kinky game 🥵
Obviously there is a lack of places to choose from.

Poppy looks weird without a vagina.

Will there be an option to remove crotchtits?
Why would you want to do that
Some people like it some don't
One question, have you ever tried to make a version for mobile devices?
Hey! Unfortunately no and it's not in my plans
What a shame that your plans are not there. I see a lot of potential for mobile devices since since I don't have a PC and I only have a phone, I would like to be able to try it.
I'm afraid I already implemented some mechanics only playable with a keyboard for the next episode.
I made this account to soley say if you can avoid ALL. rape scenes in this I'd give it a thumbs up. I won't rate it rn because its unfinished but the rape scene leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.
You can avoid them. Try to be more lusty
But more is needed to solve the problem. Your solution entirely entirely avoids it.
Since this isn't an already named character and you instead PUT the name for the character along with how it just looks like an anon. I get the impression that this is controlled how you want it to be controlled. so for example if I were to roleplay this realistically.

I'm sorry for the rant but this just really grinds my gears.
Actually, that's a pretty good point, I will do my best to fix that in future episodes. But still, I will go as my heart desires.
Updated My review to four stars to show how understanding you've been
Will this have MacBook support? This game looks incredibly good and wanna know if im gonna be able to play it
Definitely, I'll see what I can do this week.
Nice music, beautiful art (the backgrounds are amazing) and a super cute main character. Curious where this will lead. Maybe have an option between getting raped and jumping on him? Like either kind or an 'or else' style persuasion.
But anyway, great work so far! Would love to see more.
Curious on updates and overall roadmap for the game. Demo is very promising
I didn't think about road map >< Will do!
Cool, but I'd like to have a chance not to get raped. I don't know what your vision for this game is in the future, but it's an interesting start ;D
Hi! Thanks for the review ^^ There IS an option for alternative ending of a demo!
It is a good premise. My opinion would be to lean in to the gamification and less towards the visual novel. You may be tempted to make this into a straight shot visual novel with predefined characters that asks the player to click through and experience the story, though personally I would caution against that.

I think the standard visual novel would work here as well, but I think that this premise leans well into a resource management game. A lot of us have played a lot of similar games where you have to manage a brothel, it might be interesting to manage yourself within a brothel. Regardless of what you decide to do I think you are off to a solid start.
Android soon?
neat!
In this game gonna be impregnation and pregnancy? Liek in hte end can we hope to see lovely mcs foals with his mares?
YES! A feral horny pony adventure! This means I don't have to make it myself XD
Ok, I'll probably be enjoying this for a long time XD
Oh I got a good idea for a sex scene The Main Girl gets dragged under a bed by a Clown Doll of Pinkie Pie and It's a futa one and it drags Her under the bed and fucks Her under it.
so many amazing feels OwO
I can't wait for more chapters :3
