MindWare: Infected Identity is a free-to-play, work-in-progress adult interactive fiction game set in a cyberpunk world where even the human mind isn't safe from malware.
I want MindWare to give players an experience that combines a tight, well-paced main storyline with the freedom to explore expansive side content. The goal is to offer players a sense of autonomy in how they experience the game while replicating the narrative intensity found in games like Mass Effect.
The game will feature a variety of mini-games that will hopefully add fun layers of interactivity to the gameplay. Among these, I'm particularly excited to integrate hacking mini-games inspired by Uplink, which will be integrated into the storyline and impact the progression and outcomes based on player skill and choices.
In MindWare: Infected Identity, you play as a former freelance hacker who is trying to get by in a neon-soaked city where pleasure is the ultimate goal for many.
Your life takes an unexpected turn when a seemingly routine dive into the cyberspace ends with you becoming infected with a gender-altering mindware, a cutting-edge strain of malware that targets the human brain.
Your choices become pivotal in shaping not only your identity but also the path of your story. Will you embrace your new identity and the allure and thrill it brings? Or will you seek to control or reverse the mindware’s effects, fighting to maintain your former self?

It's great start, the story has plenty of options and I can't wait to see which way it goes.
Usually, I'm not a huge fan of story tellers, but this game is starting to prove me wrong, maybe I hadn't had a good one until now.
Games similarly to this one, I tend to have 2 issues, either the TF pace is too slow and I start losing interest on the game, or the TF pace is too fast and I don't get to fully enjoy the transition experience from one gender to another.
This one though, great pace, and great story telling (so far), inducing the character a TF by mind control ain't new, but when said mind control gives you lewd scenes and those scenes is what influences the TF, that, is unique, and it has hitted my buttons really well.
As how it is, it's a 3/5, great introduction and tutorial that puts you into the motions, it looks promising, but it still has a long way to go, only the Dev's dedication will tell if it deserves the 5/5.
This is possibly best HTML based game I have ever played in terms of UI, interactivity, and overall aesthetics. AI Art is being used stunningly as if it was made for this, in fact yes it may lead to loss in artist money but hey not many artists will be ready to do what Porn games need at a reasonable price and devs can't even pay properly as they lack a source of funding like some big studio.
Even besides AI art it is just great game. It is incomplete yes, it is only in alpha, but I can see its potential, it has even more potential than Secretary and Company, you may say that I am crazy but play this game for half hour only and you will also say same thing.
Note, I don't know why my review was shadow banned. Again my review was removed....Lol
Good:
Bad:
As mentioned this honestly has great potential, but unless there's a game-breaking bug, please refrain from updating until there's significant updates when it comes to progression/gameplay. I sometimes find myself just skipping over an update to this game since, nearly all the time, the update wouldn't add anything of note.
With all the updates I though there'd be a lot to this game, but there isn't much there. Lots of clicking around to get started, and very few scenes of interest.
