Caliross, The Shapeshifter's Legacy, is a fantasy-themed game, which will follow a young up-and-coming historian, as she takes her first steps outside her hometown and into the real world, to learn more about the elusive nature of her own kind, the shapeshifters. Will she become a member of the Mage guild, or of the Adventurer's guild? Will she find out more about her heritage, or will she be too busy working extra time in sleazy bars to make a living?
The game will feature several factions, each with their own goals and objectives. With your actions, you might willingly or unknowingly benefit this or that group, as the event unfolds, but the open-world nature of the game will leave it up to you if you want to get more involved with the politics of the world, or if you want to just do your own thing.
As far as the adult content goes, the game will feature fetishes such as mind control, cowgirl TF, corruption and more, depending on the paths you'll follow. It will have a female protagonist (as hinted above), and will likely have submissive themes, for the most part (I can't exclude some dominant content completely, but it wouldn't be widespread).
The plan is to release monthy updates and have the latest version be available only to donors, unlocking the previous version to the public after a month. If you like what you see, consider following me, and telling your friends about my game. ^_^
You can always find the latest public version here, on my patreon page (near the bottom):

alternatively, the free version should also be available on itch.io
Here is a link to the changelog.

Caliross is an absolute Gold Standard game. I'm hard pressed to think of how it could be done better. The main character has just enough personality to be likable, while left quiet enough that you can proect yourself into her smoothly. The game itself is an absolute delight, with an engaging plot and enjoyable challenges and if it didn't have any sex at all it would still be a fun game to play. Somehow, that has been balanced with the sexual themes in a way that doesn't make either part feel tacked on or in the other aspect's way. The Scenes cover an array of interests - the ones that line up with mine I find absolutely scorching hot, and the ones that don't are, by and large, still pretty hot, and also generally easy to see where this line is going and you just stop walking down that road. I'm just overjoyed that one of the handful of real female-protagonists games to be found just happens to also be one of the absolute best. Thank you.
Caliross is without a doubt one of the best games here on TFGames. It has a well written main story, expansive sidequests, makes excellent use of the combat of the RPGMakerVXAce engine, and offers several hours of choice filled content reminiscent of some of the great RPG's of our time. In total there is roughly 10-12 hours of content (for a character who is speeding through the game, more if you take your time to explore). The main character, Erica, is likeable and also relatable. The story progression is excellent with the main character's primary focus being on discovering the history of the Shapeshifters. Sex scenes are (nicely, in my opinion) easy to avoid but tasteful when they appear. As well as being well worth a download, there is even a walkthrough and "H-Scene" list that can guide you to missable content or (if like me you are remarkably bad at puzzles) step by step guides through puzzles. All in all an incredible experience.
There is a lot in this game more then I expected.
I give it in its current state 8/10.
This game is mind-blowingly jam packed with effort and care, and in that sense it reminds me a lot of Changer's Adventure High. I haven't even left the starting town yet and I'm already finding tons of secrets, fetishes, events, and extra dialogue hidden around every nook and cranny. But also similarly to Adventure High, I think this game is almost too ambitious. The unique spell system and huge cast of characters is something to be marvelled at, but also something that could lead to huge amounts of feature creep. The patreon seems fairly active with new updates every month, but it's hard not to be concerned about the game getting "Corruption of Champions Syndrome" where it just kind of goes all over the place and never ends up going anywhere.
But that's a lot of negativity, when so far the game is fantastic. The spell system is smart and utilized well, the fetish content is both plentiful and well paced, and the story/lore is existent without bogging down the entire experience. The game never feels too "wordy" and I'd definitely pay money for it if it was offered on itch or steam. Rarely the writing feels questionable, and some h-scenes don't have CG leading to you just staring at a black screen while text scrolls... but these are all minor things that could be ironed out in time. I'll definitely be keeping watch on this one.

Makes me wonder why this has less than 600 likes while trash like some short buggy sissy "games" with low-quality porn .gifs get 1000+.
