Summer of Shame (Office Bully 2)

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.

This isn't a sissification game although there's a tag and pictures showing as such. There is no such route. I'm not sure why the creator would do that. Since the beginning of the route, the game insists that the player is a girl and not a sissy. Even at the chastity scene there is a choice and the dialogue insists that "even though you are not a sissy and this thing is for sissies you can put it on but you're not a sissy"

If you're uncomfortable with writing sissy content (which is perfectly fine) then don't lead players into thinking this is! that's just plain wrong

Logan Scodini's games, like Anaximanes's games, have a very distinct flavor. If you ever played one, you kinda know what to expect. Myself, I like his games. Yes, they're more visual novels than games, and that is fine by me. I also understand that not everybody enjoys how comparatively quick the journey from ordinary person to submissive slut happens in his games, but once again, I'm okay with it. I like fast change, even when the mental aspects are a bit unrealistic. Then again, I'm the sort of player that always goes with the "non-resisting, 100% slut" in corruption games. :)

The 3d renders can be an acquired taste. One reviewer below said they've been spoiled by games that use porn gifs. That is a fair point. But I still think the renders are a bit more immersive, since the creator can mantain an uniformity of style and character that is impossible by using porn gifs from disparate sources.

There is, however, one criticism often directed at Scodini that I sort of agree with. The way the stories are very linear make it so you WILL have to go through fetishes that are not your stuff, to get through the scene. One review of Dream Therapy complained about being unable to avoid MF content. I have the opposite problem. I don't much care for lesbianism and fem-dom directed at me. When I'm changed into a woman, I like to be fucked by guys. I think Logan's games would be better if there were more choices, for players who are mostly into MF, FF, or both.  

The games/stories of Logan Scodini are unique and they worth to be tried at least once.

Saying that, I began to skip the latest updates and my interest cooled down. Kolka's review (below) explains everything I could say.

I found earlier games more interestinng and less monotonous. Transformed in Wonderland, for example - never completed unfortunately.

Anyway, it's just me. Give it a try.

Played the original office bully and now this, so story-universe is definitely continuous, or, rather, it serves as a backstory for this game I guess... Many of the choices are pretty straightforward, if you start taking strange pills from a bimbo-looking character, be warned, you might get exactly what you expected. So, overall, think less game, but more a storyboard with branching choices that pretty much lead down the same major route, with some minor differences in side content.

Anyway, it was an interesting game... well, half of it at least. The renders are still the same 3d ones, but I can clearly tell that at least some attempt was made to make them vaguely emoted, such that they almost do have decent facial personality, instead of just being wax mannequins. So, at least visually, it's better than quite a few 3d rendered games out there. However, the game doesn't really seem to involving for all that effort. Maybe it's the long-winded conversations or something, but I seem to lose focus and will to continue replaying it once new versions come out, just out of that fear that I will have to sit there and mindlessly click through boring dialogue.

For those into verbose content who are story buffs, you'll definitely enjoy this. Again, for a mad fapper like myself, it's too lengthy and the explicit scenes weren't all that impressive. Everything just feels a bit off with the 3d renders, or maybe I'm too biased because I've been spoiled by other games using porn gifs. Anyway, not sure where to put this game. On one hand, the renders defenitely took effort and I don't want to downplay how much time it takes to create the various scenes, etc. On the other, I personally feel like the characters, despite a clear improvement in office bully, still lack that basic humanity that would make them believable. Suddenly a Girl used 3d renders, but only for the character stills for portrait or conversation avatars, I think that approach is definitely better than trying to create a 3d backdrop for each scene. Perhaps making a 3d room image for where a conversation takes place and simply using avatars and chat bubbles would be a more time-efficient way for the author to save development resources, so I hope this finds you well.

In any event, give this game a shot. Again, it's verbose. Again, xxx scenes are so-so. But the story is there, and so are the renders.
