Full disclosure: I didn't get very far into this game at all. I assume there's more content than what I saw, but even minutes into the game I was having to grit my teeth through the pile of annoyances, trying to endure long enough to find the game's redeeming qualities... Which I eventually just gave up on.

The writing is pretty subpar. Nothing majorly offensive (hey, the grammar's correct, that's not always a given), but the prose is consistently clunky and inelegant, the characters are forgetable one-dimensional tropes that come and go without leaving an impression, more like cameos than people I should actually get invested in, and what I saw of the story's structure was, to say the least, contrived and unimpressive. Despite this, the text manages to be shockingly verbose for a Visual Novel, which contributes to a general feeling of drag. It feels like the writing could have been improved tenfold by being slashed to a third its current word count.

The art is similarly rather low-shelf (I'll give Kudos for doing their own art, but it just looks like one of those Scholastic "draw your own manga in five easy steps" books)... or, I should say, it would look low-shelf if you could actually see any of it! The decision to make the text box occupy the whole screen in front of the character art is just... baffling. What's the point of having art at all, custom art at that, if I'm barely allowed to catch glimpses of it behind the game's big grey walls of text?

Ultimately, this feels like a Leader Price version of Student transfer: aesthetics, characters, UI, writing, premise... Everything is similar enough to feel like a branch from the same tree, but noticeably worse in every aspect.

So the question that I kept asking myself while trying to get into this game was... Why aren't I just playing Student Transfer instead?

One of my favorites on the site. However, I also feel it has some missing potential. At the start, you edit your own genitals jokingly, but you never edit anybody again. Only clone/bodyswap etc. But nobody's body gets directly "photoshopped" other than your own, at the start. Which you immediately reverse I might add. Would love to see more content like this on the site. Another good one on a similar vibe is press/switch.

This is a mainly text based html game which is being ported to a low tech visual novel engine. The strength is in the original writing which gave you options to pursue a big variety of tranformations (you might need a walkthrough to find specific stuff). The art isn't glossy but it does add something. It's quite a good amateur TF game as long as you don't expect it to feel professional.

Sooo i like smut part of the story,

Tho to mine oppinion the start is a little dragged out.

But that just means the dev takes care in to the story he takes. Even tho im not super interested in to the entire background of the app its good that he pays attention to it.

 

I have to agree that the big ass textbox over the charracters pictures is a bit hindering. 

But he has so much text writen down that i get why he did it like this. But you can put it in smaller dialog boxes for sure.

Making it a actual CG story where when a charracter speaks put that specific line in 1 small text box with the names above them save alot of confusion!!!

Tho the colors do really help with knowing who says what.

 

For people that dont know basic controls of these kind of games you can actually remove the GUI with Spacebar so you can see the art!

This game is still being updated, its just that everything except the 1.0 version is patreon exclusive for now it seems. version 1.3.9 (the latest version) has a few text lines missing. but otherwise it is good.
