Gameplay - 6/10, solid gameplay overall, fun little card game to play for a couple hours.
Story - 3/10, vaguely present at the start though doesn't take itself too much after.
Sexual Content - 3/10, lacking overall, there aren't really sex scenes, just scenes implied by cards that "satisfy" people.
Transformation Content - 6/10, good transformation experience from start to finish, though you don't really get any scenes of your character's reaction or anyone else's to the transformation aside from unlocking new cards.
Graphics - 5/10, servicable, standard card game graphics.
Writing - 3/10, gets repetitive extremely quickly, and the repetitive writing isn't aynthing to write home about.
Overall - 5/10, par for the course card game, decent amount of content though feels extremely grinding after 2 or 3 hours and like you aren't unlocking any of the 40 out of 80 total cards left.
The gameplay is a bit confusing at first, but if you stick with it things become self-explanatory in short order. The game has some really good core mechanics, but could use some tweaks and some depth. As it stands right now, it's pretty easy to achieve the win condition of paying off your debt, but you'll miss a lot of content that way. I ended up playing it as far as it would go without paying off any of the debt, and just tried to get promoted as far as I could go. Made it to Top Secretary before the game just stopped, probably due to end of content.
Well worth a look!
Very promising game. Most of the things that I would complain about are things the dev has already promised to fix in the main blurb, and it's in a very early state. The bones and structure are there, and I'll update this review around, say, 0.8xx or 0.9xx, to have a bit more meat and talk more about what's there. Good luck!
Bug 1: Opponent keeps playing even after I've lost.
Bug 2: Opponent keeps playing even if I have exact 21 score.
Suggestions: Need to play less BlackJack per change, option to see which enhards I have, making the difficulties actually matter (I kept winning at Impossible, I had good cards from the beginning, but still too easy), option to buy specific enhards / changes and naked avatar option.
I can't see which enhards I have and almost everything is WIP other than the BlackJack game. Playing blackjack game 10 times then getting some changes.
I'll be back when there's more in game.
v0.100s:
Graphics work well enough with simple cards to understand the game mechanics (it's transformation blackjack!) and a good avatar representation, but the rest of the game engine is standard Twine layout. Writing is solid and fits the game well enough so you know what's going on: there is a tutorial for how to play. Interactivity right now is the main game mechanic, avatar display and some store purchases, but not much else: no doubt more to come. Transformations right now in the game are one-way as your avatar is punished for their losses, but what is there is amusing with its slow transformation progression.
Overall I had fun with this game, but in its current alpha state you can get away with gambling when you are $0.00 credit with little punishment for it. And if you know your blackjack the current programming mechanic is a very forgiving RNG, so sticking with the highest betting amount is the fastest way to complete the game with minimum risk of ever being transformed.
Worth a look.
