This is extremely well written. A good mixture of body horror, regular horror and lewd.

I noticed a couple of minor spelling issues, but the only thing that stuck out to me was that you have a portion of Rocky's speech in his Thrall Ending colored as Jarby's speech.

I puzzled out all 12 endings. My favorite is probably Dillon's Thrall Ending. It's... comfy, if a little melancholy. The 'best' ending IMO is Dillon's Freedom Ending. It feels like it has the strongest setup for 'doing something about it'.

Spoilers  below:

I appreciate the inclusion of things that grey the water on freeing people. Andrew preferring the hypnosis to his old life is a good touch, and Rocky being completely broken  without it is an interesting (and horrifying) wrinkle. I like the  plot detail that the more hypnotized a thrall is, the dumber they are. It's a well thought out drawback to vampire thralldom.

I love Andrew and Jarby's relationship. I love that, despite Jarby clearly holding all of the power, Andrew can boss him around like the Big Bro he's hypnotized to be like.

I love all of the characters. Except Throckmorton, he can jump off a bridge (I'll help). Everyone has an interesting bit of nuance to them, and with all the enthralled folks, the little peek at who they were before they were enthralled is very interesting. Lots of unanswered questions that are interesting to ponder.

IF you were to ever return to this project (I read that you at some point just had to call it done. I know what that's like) I would personally like to be able to get more lewd with everyone. It's possible my particular path veered away from some of that stuff, but the scene where you just ram your face into Andrew's armpit was  👌👀💦 and I was hoping for more like it. It does sort of undercut the frantic nature of your attempt to escape, but there are some hints that the MC is kind of horny about his predicament even if he's also horrified by it (and horny horror is my favorite kind of horny). Dillon's huge cock comes to mind...

And there feels like a huge lack of overt interaction with Jarby himself. I was hoping that waiting with any of the NPCs would allow an interaction with Jarby, even if it's just a few words of terse conversation before he knocks you out. Maybe just an option to suck his dick while he's sleeping, or bury his face in your armpit (to smother him??? He probably doesn't need to breathe.). Jarby is heccin cute, even if he's a goddamn monster.

Anyway, thanks for coming to my ted talk. Sorry for posting a wall of text, but I really enjoyed this. It's got me thinking about how things could go. How  one might achieve something resembling a good ending. (Get a steel mirror and force Jarby to hypnotize himself into not taking any more thralls and freeing you, Dillon, and your beau? Would killing him break the hypnosis for everyone? Could you become a more powerful vampire and take control of Jarby's situation?)

So, uh, good work uwu. Keep it up!

P.S.: I like the way you marked the choices with a star. I think I'm gonna steal that for my own twine thingey.

Thank you so much!! <3

Good to know RE: the text color mistake - I have a doc of all the errors I’ve caught, but updating the game file seems to notify every follower, so I’m holding off until I either have a long list of corrections or have a more significant update ready.

Great job finding all of the endings! Dillon’s thrall ending was the first one I wrote, and Dillon’s freedom ending was the last - they’re also my favorite endings. I just really enjoyed writing Dillon, which I didn’t expect when I initially started working on him. Pretty sure he’s got the most dialogue, too.

Though everyone was a lot of fun to flesh out, even Throcky, who is an absolute, irredeemable piece of shit. I put a lot of effort into each of the boys and tried my best to make them feel distinct, down to their brand of hypnosis and relationship with Jarby.

It’s probably unusual for a porn game to feature a protagonist who’s super not into their situation, but the horror and revulsion and panic from Four’s perspective is what’s most hot for me, so sex scenes were saved for the thrall endings where Four is made to feel lust for Jarby and the other boys.

As a result, I can’t see (non-hypnotized) Four wanting to do anything sexual with Jarby, even if the player might, but an ending focusing more on Jarby would be nice. You might’ve seen it already, I have an idea for at least one more ending, and it would mainly involve Jarby and an entity related to the statuette in the safe. Even that ending would be “bittersweet,” though!

The ✧ before each link was pretty easy to do! You’d just add this in the CSS:

tw-link::before {

  content: "✧ ";

}

Thanks again for taking the time to play through the game and leave your thoughts - and for the absolutely wonderful sketches you drew of Webby and Dillon!

The protagonist's perspective is actually something I like. I'm kinda super into noncon/dubcon, so the fact that he's very upset with his situation, but shows signs of being somewhat aroused by it clicks pretty well with me. I'd definitely love to see it if you came back to complete the statue ending  👀

Thanks for the tip, that's tidy~!

And I'm just glad you like the art! I'm always worried about drawn fanart, can never be sure how folk might respond.
