Girl Games

Girl Games

Welcome to Feminae College, where you'll meet your new roomie and explore the campus! But watch out for Heather and Jennifer, the two most beautiful and popular seniors, because they're hosting something called the Girl Games: a competition where girls transform guys into slutty sex kittens ...

Features both forced and voluntary feminization and crossdressing content, and a full paperdoll dress-up system.

** Main Girl Games storyline now complete for both Heather and Jennifer routes! **

For more details about Girl Games, please see this FAQ!

Prologue

Leave your room to start the first encounter with Amy.

Head over to the Lecture Theater for your orientation.

Then head back to your room to meet your roomie, Kevin.

After that, go to sleep!


Chapter One

You can spend the first week exploring the campus.

Head to classes if you want (although this isn't currently compulsory). If you want to speed along to the first main event, just hit Sleep repeatedly until you reach Friday of Week 1.

That said, if you head to the noticeboard outside Simmonds Hall in the Quad, you'll see that there's a "life drawing" class that's looking for new models, and meets on Tuesday night in the hall. Why not head along and check it out?

Note: to wait until evening, you'll have to click the hourglass in the top right.

Also, on Wednesday, why not head over to the stall in the boy's washroom and investigate ;)


Friday (Week 1)

This is the first main event of the Girl Games storyline. Attend the event at Simmonds Hall in the evening (see above for the note about how to wait until it gets dark), and then choose between your two potential mistresses: Heather and Jennifer.

If you choose Heather, the storyline will be positive, affirmative and relatively sweet - with Heather guiding you through the feminization process in a kind of "big sister" role. If you choose Jennifer on the other hand, you'll open up a much more nasty forced-femme style route. The choice is yours!

Note: you can also leave the hall. In future this will activate a third "self-femme" route, although this hasn't been written yet and for now, this just means the main Girl Games storyline is disabled.


Heather Route

Chapter Two

The first thing Heather will want you to do is shave your body and wear the panties she's given you, to pass her on-campus inspection on Monday. You'll need to make sure you're shaved everywhere (wear your towel and head to the shower in the boy's bathroom), then get dressed and switch out your boxers for the panties she gave you. On Monday you'll find her at the bus stop. If you don't pass the first panty inspection, you'll get a second chance on Tuesday, and you can find Heather in the cafeteria.

Next she'll want you to meet her at the mall the following day. Simply go to sleep, then head into town the next day and find her at the mall. After picking out a bra, you should head over to the store Transformations in the outskirts, where you can choose a wig, too.

After you head back to Heather's apartment and try on the clothes, the uber will drop you back on campus. Simply head back to your room and go to sleep. Heather will call you the next morning!


Chapter Three

The next task she'll set you is to buy a dress. You need to head into the city and choose one from Forever 21 in the mall. Once done, you'll need to call her to let her know - to do that, open the contacts on your phone and click on Heather. (Note: if you don't have enough money to buy the dress, see the section below about ways to make money in the game!).

Once you've called Heather you should be able to access her apartment from the main city location, although you'll need to make sure you're shaved first - if not, head back to campus and hit the showers!


Chapter Four

Your next task is to practice dancing. You'll need to do this three times on three consecutive days (when Kevin is out), after which you'll be able to call Heather again to let her know. She'll invite you over to her place, so once again make sure you're shaved and then head on over. You'll also need to wait until evening (using the hourglass icon) before you can enter her apartment.

After the makeover, you'll need to choose an outfit from Heather's closet to wear to the party - select either a top and leggings/skirt or a dress, then head into her living room to join the party. If you want to talk to Dylan, you'll need some Dutch courage, so speak to Heather and she'll give you some drinks. You'll need three in total before you're feeling brave enough to talk to him. Note: if you leave to go to the bathroom after speaking to Dylan, he'll follow you there and knock on the door. You can get his contact number this way, but the ability to actually call him is parked for a future update.

Once you're finished with the party, head to Heather's bedroom, where she'll give you the choice to either stay in your girly outfit or get changed back into boymode. If you stay enfemme, you can explore the city - you'll be able to get into the nightclub for free and there's also some sleazy guys hanging out in the shady alley, too. Once you're done, head back to the dorms, where you'll need to go into the girls' washroom to get dressed back into your boy clothes.

After the party scene, just go to sleep in your dorm.


Chapter Five

In the morning you'll get a surprise visit from Heather. Note: if you tell Kevin the truth about what you've been up to, it will unlock the ability to dress en femme and practice dancing in front of him.

Then you'll need to wait until the evening and head into the city to meet Heather. She'll ask you to go into Jennifer's apartment to find her phone. The phone location is randomized each time, so no help there I'm afraid!

Whether or not you can find the phone, once you're done, head back to your dorm and go to sleep.


Chapter Six

On the following morning, Heather will call - reminding you to practice your dancing and study before meeting her on Friday (week 4). [Note: I'm aware that the timeline of events needs more balance. You might have to skip forward to week 4 using Sleep if you don't want to slog through two more weeks before hitting the next big scene, but be aware that your dancing and studying is logged at one point per day completed! There's also the option to buy a completed exam paper from the dealer during Week 4.]

On Friday daytime, you'll need to go sit the exam. Any days when you paid attention in class (rather than day dreamed) will glow pink on the exam sheet as an answer you know. Once you're done with the exam, you'll need to go back to your room, wait until the evening, then prepare for the Girl Games event - by shaving your body if you need to, then dressing in your outfit and meeting Heather outside Simmonds Hall.

That done, the Girl Games event will start - this will play out in different ways based on how much you practiced dancing, whether or not you retrieved Heather's phone, etc.

After the event is over, you can get Dylan's number if you haven't already by talking to him in the hall (Note: his hookup scene is still to come in 0.5.7). You can also activate the possibility of a "girly hookup" scene with Amy by talking to her after the event (note: this won't happen on the night of the games itself, but will be triggered any night in future if/when you knock on her door dressed up).

After all this, head back to your room and sleep.

On the Monday morning, you'll need to head over to the Lecture Theater to find out your exam results. Afterwards, if you didn't get an A and want to try to improve your grade, you can call Heather from your phone, who'll tell you to try visiting Professor Anderson while dressed up after dark. Do as she says and it will trigger a scene with him.

On the Tuesday morning, you'll receive a call from your parents about your exam results. This marks the end of the main storyline content and a sort of soft ending (for now!). From this point on, you can still do other things on campus and in the city if there's anything else you want to explore, but there's no more lectures and no more main content currently. I do have plans/ways to continue the storyline, but my focus for a while now will be on fleshing out the rest of the gameworld up to this point.

** MAIN HEATHER/GIRLGAMES STORYLINE COMPLETE! **


Jennifer Route

After Jennifer leaves the hall, you'll find her back in the dorm corridor. Note: you'll need to do exactly as she says, so answering back too much will lead to her storming off and threatening to make your life a misery. (This content *will* be coming in future, but she won't continue schooling you for the games).

After she's left you in the girls washrooms, get dressed and go back to your room to sleep.


Chapter Two

After her call, you'll need to shave your body and find some panties. To shave, change into your towel then head back to the boys' washrooms and use the shower. To get some panties, you'll need some MONEY, but conveniently if you go to sleep first, the next day you'll get a call from your folks, saying they've deposited $50 in your bank accouunt.

Once you have some money, head into the city and visit Victorias Secret in the mall. Once you've bought the panties, you'll need to call her to let her know - to do that, open the contacts on your phone and click on Jennifer. She'll tell you to come over to her apartment, which should now be available in the main city location.

Note: She'll ask you to jack off to get rid of your boner - if you cum on the floor, some will get on her dress, which will lead to you owing her MORE money later on.

Get dressed and leave her apartment, then head back to your room and go to sleep; Jennifer will call you the next morning, to let you know to meet her at the mall the next day.


Chapter Three

Head to meet Jennifer in the mall, she'll go into Forever 21 and you should follow. Note: if you don't protest about being unlocked, she'll give you the option of choosing between an all black outfit and a pink one.  

Once you're done in Forever 21, she'll leave the mall and go to the Adult Bookstore in the outskirts. Just like before, you'll need to comply with her demands ...


Chapter Four

Wait for Jennifer to call - this will be a couple of days later, so you'll need to go to sleep a couple of times. She'll set you the task of practicing your dancing. You'll need to do this three times on three consecutive days (when Kevin is out), after which you'll be able to call her again to let her know.

Then you'll need to wait until the evening and head over to her apartment. Make sure you're shaved first to avoid a trip back to campus! Once there, get undressed then meet her in the bedroom, where she'll make you over for the first time. Once the scene is finished you'll need to talk to her and ask her what you're going to do at Heather's. This will trigger the arrival of the cab. Then head into her living room and leave the apartment with her.

At Heather's party, talk to Jennifer again and she'll set you the phone-stealing task. Head into Heather's bedroom and steal the phone, then go back and talk to Jennifer again. After which, she'll leave you alone in the city dressed en femme. You can explore the city like this and some new things will happen - you'll be able to get into the nightclub for free and there's also some sleazy guys hanging out in the shady alley, too. Once you're done, head back to the dorms, where you'll need to go into the girls' washroom to get dressed back into your boy clothes. Then go to sleep.


Chapter Five

Jennifer will call in the morning - she'll give you three days to make some money to settle your debt, then call again. If you have enough money to pay her, you'll have the option to go to her apartment and do so (note: this will also open up the option to take off the chastity cage, should you so wish). Otherwise, she'll want you to pack your girly things in your backpack and meet her at her apartment. Note: you don't need to shave this time. There's the ability to do so at her place if you forget. Then she'll take you to the alley to work off your debt! (Note: I'm fully aware that the debt/debt owed mechanic isn't 100% accurate right now, I'm working on it!!). Then head home (or into the city for some more girly fun) and go to sleep.

Chapter Six

Jennifer should call you in the morning, telling you to practice your dancing and study before meeting her on Friday (week 4). [Note: I'm aware that the timeline of events needs more balance. Depending on how quickly you completed the previous quests, you might have to skip forward to week 4 using Sleep if you don't want to slog through the remaining days before hitting the next big scene, but be aware that your dancing and studying is logged at one point per day completed! There's also the option to buy a completed exam paper from the dealer during Week 4.]

On Friday daytime, you'll need to go sit the exam. Any days when you paid attention in class (rather than day dreamed) will glow pink on the exam sheet as an answer you know. Once you're done with the exam, you'll need to go back to your room, wait until the evening, then prepare for the Girl Games event - by shaving your body if you need to, then dressing in your outfit and meeting Jennifer outside Simmonds Hall.

That done, the Girl Games event will start - this will play out in different ways based on how much you practiced dancing, whether or not you stole Heather's phone, etc.

After the event is over, you can get Dylan's number if you haven't already by talking to him in the hall (Note: his hookup scene is still to come in 0.5.7). You can also activate the possibility of a "girly hookup" scene with Amy by talking to her after the event (note: this won't happen on the night of the games itself, but will be triggered any night in future if/when you knock on her door dressed up).

After all this, head back to your room and sleep.

On the Monday morning, you'll need to head over to the Lecture Theater to find out your exam results. Afterwards, if you didn't get an A and want to try to improve your grade, you can call Jennifer from your phone, who'll tell you to try visiting Professor Anderson while dressed up after dark.

- Note: I have spent the last couple months rebuilding the game from the ground up – although it looks pretty much the same (although perhaps a touch prettier), the underlying code and organization has been massively improved ...

Review by Zenz

Version reviewed: 0.5.2 on 09/02/2023


This game suffers from a serious illness and it's called Groundhog Day. The creator can't seem to ever be happy with what they have, so they keep starting over and some changes may be for the better, while some other changes is for the worse.

I for one is not a fan of AI generated art and especially not this style. It makes it look like the main character has ended up on a world filled with aliens and this is how they think a human should look, when it's far from it. If I was the MC, I would end up with nightmares.

This version also seems to be limiting the options in some cases compared to previous versions.

While the game showed promise at first, if this is the style of the game going forward, I will not continue playing it.


Review by Shalassan

Version reviewed: 0.5.1 on 07/28/2023


Imust say I discovered this game really late and now that it's on godot ...

 

First the AI generated art is really nice and help to give each character a nice poersnaility but ...

I read the comments cause i was a bit confused as the story falls really short and it really felt like a needed a guide to know what choice you need to do exactly to see the content cause all i tried so far end up with a game pretty empty. Past the first even there is nothing happening anymore except random talk with the 4 characters of the story ... And the interface is really clunky and not responsive at all.

 

And that's why I read about the engine change and i digged the twine version to test it man ... Yes the RL pics are less gorgeous than the AI generated one for sure, but the interface and globally all how the game was working was so much better with twine! I'm pretty sure it's a lot better with Renpy too and the ability to fast foreward. Why the hell go back to an engine not tailored at all for visual novels?

The new version I really want to follow the story but the engine is really taking me aback from enjoying it, that's a shame as apparently the devs put a lot efforts in it, but it's just not working.

Too bad ... If the dev read me, you should really go back to one of the two previous options, it would be a lot better than this.

I like the theme. But .. I got stuck. You need to go the city by bus, costing 5 $. At a certain point I am to meet with Heather in the city, but I am broke. The game won't allow me to continue, and I could not find any means to acquite cash. A pity. Starting all over again? Hope this gets fixed in an update.

Version reviewed: 0.4.1 on 04/06/2022


I agree with Yeoman, though I really don't see the point in it being switched from Twine. It was great in Twine & I loved all the previous versions (in Twine), but with all this "new development" that does absolutely nothing compared to how it was in Twine makes it pointless now (ye went from a great possibility to a pointless nothing). 

In my eyes it has gone from a great up & coming game to a total mess.  Ye really screwed yourself (& us eager fans) over with the transferring to different engines & it's like the old saying "If it isn't broken, then don't try to fix it", because it was great as it was & the content just needed to be added (along with possibly more classes, jobs, ect).  

It's very sad considering I've been eagerly awaiting this game to be updated again & then become thoroughly disheartened when I find out all this bs has been done to it. 

Good luck tryin to fix this cumplete & utter mess, but I won't be there for it anymore since ye have lost me as a player (& no doubt a very many others as well).

Version reviewed: 0.4.1 on 03/02/2022


I think this is a great example of a game suffering from Development Hell, and I never thought I'd use that term for a game on this website, but here we are.

Having played all versions, I must ask if it was really worth it to spend all that time developing for now 3 platforms?  It's baffling that the work would be done, redone, and done a third time, despite that while Twine isn't perfect, it's certainly capable enough that this game never really needed to switch from it (see games like The Good Son, Secretary, and The Company).  I don't understand why the switch from Ren'py, which is also quite capable of fullfilling the needs of this game.

With that all said, this game is getting the use of the phrase 'Development Hell' because there's certainly been a LOT of work being done on it since its last Twine release, yet the game isn't really closer to being complete than it was then.  Just like Madden, with every new feature, there's a crucial part of the story missing that was already in the game in a previous version.  I, for one, really liked the Jennifer storyline, which no longer exists and now is covered in construction tape.

The core gameplay that exists here leaves a lot to be desired.  It takes place in a University, but for a University student, I never really feel like I'm at a university.  I have 1 class I go to every weekday (mandatory attendance?) but no others.  And the 1 class I actually have is just filler without anything for the player to do or learn in them.  It may as well have been a job off campus, and that would've actually been more believeable since you get actual consequences if you don't show up to work.

I have a roommate, and I live across the hall from an attractive woman, I guess.  But this game takes absolutely none of the opportunities available to it to immurse the player in a University.  There are no extracurriculars available to do.  There are no sports teams.  If the developer wanted to make a game without all those things, why didn't they place this game in a different setting?  Is it really too unbelievable to imagine I have a roommate as an adult and live in an apartment across the hall from an attractive woman?

This game, like many others, tries to establish a routine of things to do to immerse the player in the game, with story elements happening outside this routine.  The unfortunate part of this is that the routine is lacking in content and really just feels a bore because, and this is the key point, unlike great games with routines, Girl Games never does anything to merge the story elements with the routine elements.  Perhaps if Jennifer or Heather were to become a guest lecturer or Teacher's Assistant in the Psych Class, or since they're both students, they attend the class alongside the player and mess with them.

This game has minigames and the particular one important to the story is both easy for anyone who's played any basic rhythm game and too long.  The worst part is that the player is expected at points throughout the story to 'practice' this minigame to the same long boring song.

I'm not heartless (mostly).  I think this premise is workable into a much better game.  But it'd take a developer who sticks to 1 engine, and builds on systems they've already made, rather than tearing them down in the hopes of finding a slightly better system.  I cringe to imagine the amount of development time that's gone into this game, not because it's bad to spend time working on a game, but because of the still very incomplete state this game is in.

This game is still in the Concept phase, despite what the developer has put down.  This game doesn't have a complete storyline and is missing key features that make the game incomplete.  Once Jennifer and Heather's stories are complete, the Alpha label might be appropriate.  Once side stories and routines are much more fleshed out, the Beta Label would apply.  Then, once the game is relatively bug-free, it should be labeled complete and the developer should move on to another game.

For Fuck Sake, don't move this game into another engine.
