TL:DR Came for the fap, stayed for the story.
I've sampled a great deal of what this site has to offer, but I have yet to write a review until now. This CYOA, as another reviewer mentioned, is very well written and a refreshing change from much of what is offered on this site. Though I tend to prefer slow transformations where the main character grapples with what is happening to them, this author manages to pull off a sudden change and allows the reader to follow a path of denial and confusion which help readers suspend disbelief and better immerse themselves in the story. For those of you who find it hard to get into TF games/CYOA where the main character changes and then immediately starts sucking every dick in town, there is a path for you in this story.
Also, I find the hand drawn artwork to be charming and perfectly suitable for this CYOA. This too is a refeshing change from the usual fare here, and it also gives the impression of a more personal touch by the author. You can tell the author takes pride in their work by what I've already mentioned, but also that there are very few typos and the ones that exist do not overly distract from the well written story. I was so engrossed, I forgot to fap.
Very well done and I am looking forward to seeing how the rest off this story unfolds.
This is one of my favorite games on this site. One that I keep coming back to time and time again. An excellent CHYOA style game with excellent writing and wonderful flavorful choices. My only complaint.... not enough updates.
Honestly, my biggest "gripe" with this game is its lack of content, meaning illustrations and such. These, of course, are simply a matter of the dev having the time and resources available to them to do all of this supplementary work.
in terms of the game itself, I am very impressed. The writing is a breath of fresh air from a lot of the other games on here. Escapism can be fun, but pressing through a plot that feels more grounded was a super pleasant experience. I absolutely loved the descriptions of the PC's female form in a way that mirrors how one actually sees themself. When the game does lean into eroticism, it's hot. The writing is demonstrative of clear skill, both in terms of the smutty descriptions and the actual literary techniques. I am also just a sucker for positive trans tf games, and boy does this have some really ooey gooey heartfelt trans-themed writing.
I'd like to echo another reviewer's suggestion of multiple options of a single color though. Even if they lead to the same outcome, I feel that having a few choices that are worded differently can make the PC feel more alive and more like a reflection of the actual player. There's a visual novel called 'Our Life: Beginnings & Always' that has color coded dialogue prompts that indicate tone. In that game, some of the prompts have no larger impact on the story, but it still makes the game feel more dynamic, just by giving the player what feels like more control.
This may well be one of my favorite games on this website, and I am very excited to see its continued development. I'd highly recommend for anyone that wants something a smidge more "down to earth" that still doesn't shy away from being a work of erotic fiction.
I'm all about the story, even in supposedly CYOA games. If there's a compelling story and interesting characters, whether or not you're being railroaded is irrelevant. In a game like this, the changes serve the plot, and not the other way around - which is why it's one of the best games on TF Games.
That being said, the individual elements - the art, the UI, the personalities, the world-building, etc. - are all mostly just above-average. The game isn't as esoteric or outrageous as many other games on the site; it's vanilla compared to some. But dining on exotic, fancy food all the time can get stale; it's good to settle in sometimes with a well-made sandwich. The sum is greater than its parts. I'm looking forward to see how this continues to develop.
v2-0.1.7:
Writing for this CYOA is good with a solid story and motivations for all of the main characters you interact with, along with even some of the secondary characters: you'll always know where you are and what is going on around you in the game world. Interaction is solidly railroaded with classic CYOA choices, but they do seem to tally up and affect the scenes to a degree based on how you're either accepting your situation, neutrally tolerating it or negatively mental breaking about it. Images in the game are limited but serviceable with almost everything tied to the characters you meet: this is very much though a "tell don't show" game with its CYOA writing. Transformations in the game are (currently) a one-time action at the start and that's it with (currently) zero ability to influence its outcome.
This was a tricky game for me to get an opinion together on. It is certainly a strong story about acceptance as well as knowing one's self identity and worth, but if you're not after a CYOA novel but a game you'll find yourself bitterly disappointed. And the game creator clearly warns this in the TFGS description posted with this game submission. I treated it as if I was reading a classic CYOA game book and replayed it multiple times to see how things changed, but at heart I found myself not really invested in any of the story pathways beyond curiosity. And this is the crux of my review: I'm fairly certain this CYOA game isn't meant for someone of my tastes, despite some of the story paths getting an edge of horror to them on your avatar's situation.
Certainly worth a look. But know that you're going into a CYOA story tale akin to a visual novel (without the images) and not a "game" in the literal scene of the word.
Cautiously recommended.
