Office Bully

Logan's games - they really really leave me in a twist.

Technical:
I run Linux.

And Logan says its HTML. It isn't. Its either an elf or an exe.
And the elf doesn't run.
"error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
And when this is fixed it fails again.
"Segmentation fault (core dumped)"
Someone really fucked up here.
Also the UI, including saves,  aren't good.

The graphics and sound is good.
The game-play is good. Some aspects are too staged. But compared to most of the rest nothing to complain.

You get more or less turned into a girl.

If the game would be HTML I would endorse the game without any doubt.

But so the Linux variant doesn't work.

Online it is slow. Offline it faster, but not fast.

The online 'Play Now' game is *painfully* slow to *repeatedly* load, even with a broadband connection, so I gave up and downloaded the game. That proved much faster, but the game (demo?) is a very small loop.

Wake up > Go to office > repeat one of 3 scenes > Go Home >Masturbate > Go to sleep. >

The nightclub is locked, you never earn enough to buy clothes, so it's just the loop over and over again. I suppose it does give an idea of what the paid version offers ...

Excellent visuals. Okay audio. However this is definitely a visual novel rather than a game, with two potential plotlines that both end up with the MC being a submissive slave, with the only difference being how feminized the MC becomes. Limited replay value, so I recommend playing online rather than bothering to download, as I can't imagine many wanting to replay it once they've experienced the two plotlines.

I'm not usually one for sci-fi magical tranformations where you just take a pill and BAM GIRL but this one was nice. It was pretty decently paced if you are a good reader and took me about an hour to play through. The characters are strong which is nice, there is a sex scene for basically ever chapter and the story was simple to follow. The art is fantastic and very immersive, combined with some decent animation to create some fluidity.

Of course, the main complaint I and others have are the lack of choice. Sure there are choices you can make in the moment, but none effect the outcome of what comes next. And the music only exists in the chapter screen, and the sfx is very sparingly used. I think it worked once. Still if you like a story where you become submissive to women go ahead and try it. 7/10.

The creator of this "game" has invested a considerable amount of effort in setting up scenes with character models, lighting and rendering them. They require you to play it from their site, and the amount of data served must cost something. I don't really understand why the author is choosing to bear that ongoing bandwidth cost, but that's their business. It didn't really trouble me that I had to play it on that site, but I imagine they were harvesting as much data from my browser as feasible; no different from many other sites, but one more you could have lived without. In some cases the site was slow at serving the images though.

Despite the effort lavished on this "creation", I can't really recommend it unless your kink is rendered CG characters in stiff, awkward poses.

I'm sure there are people who love this stuff, and if you are one of them, then this is for you. Everyone else should probably look elsewhere.

There are a huge number of similar looking images, employing models and textures that feel ... a bit familiar to me ... almost like I've seen these assets somewhere before, and I am certain that I *have* seen many of these assets elsewhere.

In terms of story, it's got the usual tropes and cliches that M2F games rely on, but the dialog and images aren't immersive or exciting. They push you out of the story, creating little interest, leaving me caring nothing - just like the main-character, who really doesn't seem to care at all about anything that happens to him/her and just drifts along, indifferent to being turned into a different man, and then a woman over the period of just a few days. Of course the first thing you do after waking up as a woman is suck some cock! Why wouldn't you? I don't think the author really sold that scenario in a way that made it believable. Instead, it simply felt unconvincing. It only got worse when having a single sex dream with a bit of anal made her into a helplessly compulsive submissive. The tags indicate the transformation as "slow", but compared to most games it's almost instant.

The text and dialog is weirdly formal and inappropriate, including some odd idioms that no native speaker would use. The author does his best, and there's no doubt you can understand the dialog well enough, but it's not colloquial English, and unlike some non-native authors who have a good sense of humor that more than makes up for any strangeness, the dialog here is all "on the nose", tell not show, heavy-handed with exposition and using ornate language that feels way out of place next to the childish crude gestures the characters use (and the non-stop sex and nakedness).

"Ah, this dress beautifully draws attention to your heavy breasts."

"Yes. You will make a stunning entry in the circumstance that we are required to circumlocute the beach."

"Indeed. I surmise you will draw the attention of all and sundry as you make your promenade."

Well... Those aren't actual lines from the game, but they sum up pretty well the flavor you can expect. It's as stiff and awkward as the character poses.

Another quirk is the repetition of the same exposition phrases, over and over. "Am I now nothing but a sex doll, to be used as some kind of toy?" "This is to be my fate from now on" and so on (I paraphrase).

The repetitious exposition is as offputting as the creepy realisation that everyone has the exact same set of teeth.

I found myself nodding off while trying to play this and eventually gave up out of boredom. I later struggled through to the end, but felt underwhelmed. To say that's a plot is not really describing it. Events just happen, characters come and go, but they all say similar things and then at the end there's a little scenario. It's a valiant effort, but the author lacks the writing skills to carry it. It's not particularly erotic, or funny, or original, and there are many other graphical stories more lively and enjoyable than this.

The characters are devoid of personality, probably because every line they speak is dripping with exposition, pushing along a story that ceases to matter when it's naked image after naked image. There no sense of control, no suspense, and little in the way of surprise.

If you instantly love the images, or the odd writing hits your buttons then keep on going. But if it doesn't spark for you immediately, I suggest you quit while you're ahead.

If you are doubtful at the start it's probably not worth investing time in it hoping that it will get better once the "plot" gets moving. I don't think it does.
