HTML - Completed - Damned City [v0.32 - FINALE] [S93]

This review is for the game in its current state... and I really can't recommend it. I don't even see potential in where it's going.

It needs a lot of proofreading for grammar's sake and there's very little guidance or direction or even progression. It's buggy and janky, and you can't even view your own stats. It feels like they just jammed in a bunch of ""mechanics"" from other games without any thought of how they'd work.

The author has the audacity to list it as "completed".

There are too many "what if" sex sequences to make the actual ones somewhat meaningful. Especially the ones with your sister.

Also some bugs that lets you level up certain stats without losing energy.
Shame. Wasted potential.

+ Good text, good story, good setting.
+ Excellent AI pictures (though there are not many of them).
+ The author has a great sense of humor.
+ Quite a lot has been done for the early stage of the game.
+ Interesting characters.

- The game is heavy for the early stage, it can be made 2-3 times lighter without losing quality.
- I don't like the hodgepodge of anime gifs added to real pictures. But here it doesn't look critical.

The author has great potential. It's a shame he decided to stop developing this game.

I wish you success and all the best.)

The game is set in a post-apocalyptic world, where the player controls a main character trying to survive. While the concept is not bad, the execution leaves much to be desired, as the game feels like an early alpha version with a lack of polish.

The plot and accompanying elements are underdeveloped, with only a brief introductory section that provides little information about the world or the character. There are no missions, messages, notes, or conversations that would help to flesh out the world. As a result, the world feels empty and uninteresting.
While the main goal of finding the character's uncle is present, it doesn't feel compelling, as he is merely a character introduced in a few paragraphs. This lack of depth in character development could be seen as a Mary Sue-like element that detracts from the overall experience.
Despite this, the game may appeal to adults who enjoy games with a more minimalist approach. However, without more depth and variety in content, it may not be worth the investment for most players.

Content and visual design: While there is some presence of content and visuals, including GIFs, the overall experience falls short. The number of GIFs is limited, and the content in general is not particularly extensive. While it would have been possible to enjoy the game in its current state in 2018 or 2020, there are now many other games that offer more comprehensive video content. Although the focus on GIFs may have been a deliberate choice, I believe that there could have been more situations and characters to keep players engaged.
The interface feels rough and uninspired, with a rather standard design. While it is still playable, I would not describe it as particularly enjoyable or outstanding.
A major drawback that stands out is the lack of a soundtrack. There is no background music or voice acting, significantly impacting the overall atmosphere.

To summarize, this is an early alpha version of the game. If it's completed, as stated on the page of F95, it will be a poorly made game.
If the developer plans to refine and improve it, I wish him or her good luck, as there is still a lot of work to be done. However, it could potentially become an interesting HTML RPG set in a post-apocalyptic world.

version 0.3

not a bad game. lots of scenarios but it's only patch 0.3 so not many are fully explored. possibilities of many NTR, domination/love scenes. but there are few of them so far. the porn part is nice.

but the problem is there are a lot of bugs. some pictures don't appear, and a lot of continuity problems. in one scenario your sister gets kidnapped, yet some times later she wakes you up telling you about your uncle. while she should be kidnapped.

and multiple other continuity errors. in my experience HTML games with these types of errors never get corrected and the bugs just keep increasing. and considering the still relatively few unique content i think 3/5 is fair.

i think this game easily have potential to be 5/5, i will put it on my radar and will change rating with further patches

Damned City 0.3

-No technical Problems
-Love the sandbox aspect
-Good writing
-Although i am not a big fan of real porn, its quite pleasant
-Story is interesting

Looking forward for more Updates

It has potential. It needs bugfixing and some polishing, which I can't specify everything here but, the katana was bugged. And well the story feels nice for now, but it needs content, so if the developer reads this, don't lose focus and update often. It will be nice to see what comes to life

The game looks great and promising.

There's potential for character branches, especially since some of the intended characters aren't explicitly introduced yet. This opens up the horizon for future game development.

Pretty amazing for the first game, keep on making!

The good:
• Many different characters with their small stories
• Many game mechanics, though some yet unrealized, are already there for future updates
• quite alright choice of cgs/vids/gifs and actresses

The bad:
• file size to the amount of content ratio is bad. If you continue developing it that way, the game will end up being too heavy, thus preventing some folks from trying it. Try to compress the files or use different file formats
• no quest log or anything. I ended up just clicking around to see what's up

I would rate it at 3/5 at the current state. +1 star as a hope for further development

TLDR: Although it's not a great game, it's still very good for the first-time developer. Much better than many other games out here. Really believe it'll end up being great and I'm looking forward to it
