Fun Corruption Games Edition

Hello Mind Control fans!

I'm settling into a bit of a groove where I'm talking about my writing progress/writing habits sometime on the weekend, while posting about my favorite smut during the week. I'll try to keep up this schedule, but, of course, I promise nothing. :)

I thought this week I'd go over some of my favorite corruption/transformation games from TF Games Site. There are at least four which I consider inspiring to some of the work I'm thinking of doing myself, or have already done, so they deserve special mention. They're all definitely worth a play if you haven't tried them before!

If you find any other games you consider to be amazing on that site, feel free to drop me a comment!

Free Cities

Free cities has been around for a long time, and is an amazing text slave management game. There isn't a lot of mind control in the game per se, but it somewhat makes up for it by allowing you to transform the slaves under your care into mindless, happy slaves over a period of time by forcing them to perform various tasks and by altering their bodies.

Eventually you can break slaves to your will and get them to serve under you in various roles. It gets a lot easier once you have a well trained assistant you can use to keep the other slaves in line. Just make sure you get all the military upgrades and a bodyguard, or things might not end well for you!

The game has no true end state, but there is a point after which story events stop firing due to the story being exhausted. There's enough game mechanics in the game to keep it interesting until this happens, but once I run out of story I find I start to become tired of the repetitiveness fairly quickly.

Still, it's definitely worth playing, as it can be a lot of fun to roleplay forcing everyone in your archaeology to love being lactating hucows with enormous implants.

The game has a subreddit located here, and you can find the latest version of the game on TF Games Site here.

Slugs and Bugs: Invasion

Slugs and Bugs is one of those rare games that scratches the mind control itch while incorporating some fairly extreme squick in its scenarios paired with a large amount of image manipulation. You can expect to find mind controlling slime slugs, spiders, and evil starfish hell bent on converting your main character to their point of view. 

There are multiple different endings to the last chapter, making for a lot of fun seeing how the different playthroughs turn out. I always end up turning into an evil octopus host, naturally.

Unfortunately, I found that my tastes don't necessary coincide with Animaxanes other works, but it's to be expected that not all fetish predilections intersect. 

You can find Slugs and Bugs as well as his other works linked from this page.

He also has a blog located here, as well as a Patreon account here.

Parasite Infection

This is a rather interesting game because you are infested by a parasite at the beginning of the game, and depending on the choices you take, it can gain further control over you to the point where you're forced to continue playing the game based on its wishes rather than your own.

I've only been playing an older version of the game for a long time, so I cannot say how the current version plays - some people have been complaining that it doesn't work as well as the old version, but I cannot speak to that. I can say from what I've played of the new version that it appears to have the same ideas as the old one did, so it's worth a look.

I've always wondered what it would be like to have a triple A game where a bad end consisted of a long sequence where you're forced to do things you don't want to do because you're under the control of an evil spirit or some other kind of controlling force like a parasite.

Eventually I'd like to write a game where something like this happens - near the beginning of the game, or midway through the game, you can make a choice that completely changes how the game plays. I.E. You can fight the forces of evil to the last, OR you can help them to the best of your ability and find out what happens when you give in to your base impulses. Of course, falling to the dark would probably consist of brainwashing everybody to like being slaves of the big bad one, making it a 'happy' ending. I'll talk about why I like this kind of 'ending' another time.

This would undoubtedly take a lot more effort than almost anyone is willing to give, but I can dream. I don't have nearly the motivation to make this a reality, though I have started a game in Twine in the past few years that may, if luck shines upon me, turn into something that will have an element of this.

Dark Recruitment

This game over the years has been one of my favorites on the site. It takes a lot of the elements I enjoy and puts them into one package - an evil queen, her evil minions invading a town, townsfolk being converted into her minions in various different delicious ways, fairly involved bad endings for the main heroine, etc.

Hmmm, I wonder what what that reminds me of. 

Not that this is a bad thing at all. I would love to have even more of this theme.

The story path is fairly linear, and I wouldn't call this much of a 'game,' and to be honest, the author needed a proofreader, but the ideas here are so hot I forgive pretty much all of the defects. I only wish the story had been more fleshed out before it had been abandoned, but you can't expect completeness from passion projects.

One thing I can't praise enough are the bad ends. Depending on how far you get in the game, you might end up as a very low level minion. As you progress through the game, the bad ends see you joining the queen's ranks as higher level minions. I do wonder what some of the very high level minions your character might have become - I can already imagine our main character becoming a willing servant of the Queen, teaching others the beauty of her truths, etc.

Well written bad endings can be pretty rare. Most people don't put a lot of effort into them, and that's a shame, as those should be the most interesting part of any choose your own adventure story. Speaking of CHYOA, I'm sure that will come up again in another blog post.

Weekly Writing Update

It's not really the weekend any more, but I promised myself that I would start writing weekly updates about my writing status to keep myself motivated, so I had better get it done so I can go to sleep!

Work has been proceeding apace on the narrative for "Robotic Restitution." The manuscript easily exceeds 200,000 words at this point, making this project close to the point at which I might consider splitting it into a trilogy. I'll have to make that decision after I've done a first pass at editing to see if there's any scenes that I feel need to be added (there's one already that I'm waffling about including to strengthen the narrative, but I may cut it for being samey - I don't see any need to try to show the same type of bondage twice; that gets boring in my opinion - better to keep things fresh unless I truly have something unique to show). 

I also need to pay extra attention to determine where the natural break points are. I feel it's more likely this will be a duology, but if the final draft is around 210,000 words, I 70,000 words per novel is probably sufficient to consider three books, since that would come in at around 300 pages in an actual book.

Where it currently stands it appears to me that I have approximately four scenes left to write before the story is wrapped up. This has changed significantly as I have approached the end, ballooning far larger than I had originally expected. However, for this experiment in novel writing I haven't allowed myself to skip any interesting bits, so I am determined to see this through to the end, no matter where it might take me. Not to mention that I keenly feel the need to tie up all the loose story plot points at the end, as I do not intend to write another story in this universe any time soon and thus I do not wish to leave anything unexplained.

As I naturally tend to write three days a week while I take public transit to work, at this rate of progress the first draft may be completed by the end of next week. Possibly sooner if I somehow convince myself to do some work outside of transit time, but that hasn't happened over the last year, so I don't think I should expect it to happen now. That's the point at which the real work begins, as I expect editing will likely take another month minimum. The only upside to that is that I will be free to start working on a project that will (eventually) be publicly releasable on MCStories/Literotica. I'm toying with the idea of taking a break from this story universe to finish another half baked tale I have in my backlog before returning to write the short story I want to use as advertisement for this larger project.

That's pretty much it for now - I'll leave you with a description of what it's like to write on public transit.

Writing smut on the bus isn't nearly as dangerous as you might think. Nobody cares what you're doing on your phone, and the majority of the time what you're writing isn't the actual smut, it's the interstitial story surrounding the areas that are smut. Even when you're writing the actual smut, at least for me, it doesn't feel that risque. I've never had anybody question what I'm writing on my phone - most of the time people just assume you're texting. You look just like everybody else staring that their phone.

I personally use Google Docs for writing, but many companies support writing documents on your phone so I'm sure you could find a substitute if you wanted to. I would also say a keyboard that allows you to swipe your thumb to type in words is incredibly useful to help you get certain words, though the autocorrect gets the wrong word more often than not. This is very annoying, but it's a price I'm willing to pay to get some writing done!

Thankfully, writing definitely helps to pass the time, much more so than browsing the Internet, and has the side effect of being immeasurably more production. Why not try it some time?

Crusader Kings II Edition

Once again I find myself wasting... I mean, spending quality time with some of my favorite strategy games. Hearts of Iron 4 filled that role for a large part of last year. I played the 'Lord of the Rings' mod for that game and got some enjoyment out of playing Lothlorien, stealing the one ring and betraying everyone to Sauron by becoming a ring wraith to take over the world (yay corruption!)

However, this year I find myself coming back to Crusader Kings 2. Fortunately, this obsession should subside soon enough, but while I have it, I've taken the opportunity to explore some of the lewd mods available for the game.

Specifically, I've installed Dark World Fantasy, along with Dark World Extras and Dark World: Beyond Heresy.

These mods add several fantasy races to the game, such as succubi/incubi, werewolves, vampires, dragons, reptilians, nekos, abominations, and a handful of others I'm forgetting, along with many more sexual options you can take with various characters. I've tried a few of the races, and for my money the succubi are the most fleshed out of all the races, since 'Beyond Heresy' has significantly expanded your options by adding a Catholic Heresy you can eventually attempt to convert everyone to (yes, we're all Lilithanists now!)

I'm also planning at trying out House Irae at some point (Dark Elves) as that adds religious options too, but probably after I've finished my current play through. By then I'll probably be Crusader Kinged out for awhile, so maybe later. Much later.

Depending on which expansions you have, I would highly recommend turning adventurers and great conquerors off, since they can make the game almost unplayable if you're planning on building a large empire and spreading your religion. Turning off defensive pacts and allowing theological empires to hold more land would also make this scenario more fun. Since these mods disable achievements anyway, there's no shame in making the game a little bit easier for your own enjoyment. I usually play on Iron Man so that the game runs more organically, but you can always save scum if it gets to be too much to you.

Here I'm already 223 years old, and have conquered all of Italy, attempting to spread my cult of pleasure up into Europe. You can start out as a particular 'dark world' race at game start, as I did here, but you can also work your way up the succubus/incubus ladder from nothing as long as your character has the 'Lustful' trait.

If your character has 'Lustful', you will be able to select the 'Chosen of Lilith' secret society in the societies tab. Once you're a member, you need to work your way up the rank to tier 3, 'Lover,' at which point you can infuse yourself with Demonic blood and become a half demon alu-fiend
(female) or cambion (male). Once you've reach tier 4, you will be given the option to infuse yourself with Lilith's blood and become a full succubus or Incubus.

To be fair, having the succubus trait doesn't really give you anything other than some intrigue and an opinion gain, but it unlocks a lot options for you take. One of the powers in the secret society at level 2 allows you to beautify yourself into an attractive bombshell succubus which will give you +45 approval to all male vassals, which is super useful when building your domain. You also get the ability to heal yourself of illnesses, which is amazing due to how often everybody seems to get cancer.

It also unlocks the ability to hold a blood moon ritual in the intrigue menu. This requires a prisoner sacrifice or a peasant sacrifice, but afterwards mother Lilith will offer you immortality. This makes the game pretty easy (if you survive the rival immortal event), but if you're just fooling around it's fun to play with.

One of the most useful abilities that has been added is to curse an enemy with a disease (or multiple diseases). That enemy crusader king won't be too hard to break if he's a leper with pneumonia that (oh by the way) might also be the plague.

Additionally, if you're playing a succubus/incubus, you can use the 'Kiss of Seduction' ability to try to get someone to be your lover. The event menus get boring after awhile, but there's a fairly large chance you'll succeed eventually as long as you're attractive enough. It's pretty easy to hold a realm together if you're hopping into everyone's beds.

These mods also add some interesting intrigue options and buildings which can unlock more intrigue options. Prisoners can be enslaved, trained, then kept or sold for money. A slave trader can be built which pops open a periodic event giving you the option to buy slaves. There's also some silly stuff like building a wizard's tower and recruiting Hermione, who then of course messes up a sex spell and turns herself into a dumb bimbo.

Not everything is good, however. Some of the canned events in this mod tend to fire too often, such as the one offering you to fuck your progeny when they come of age (this does, however, give you a massive bonus to opinion if you need it).

 Vampirella tends to show up early on in a game and keeps trying to seduce you, whether you're male or female. Might as well send her away if you're not interested. Bloodrayne also shows up, but she's actually useful if a rogue vampire shows up trying to kill you (pro tip, always run away from the vampire if you don't want your immortal ruler to be killed).

If you're planning to start your own religion, then it can get pretty complicated. Both your pope and the original pope can call crusades, so you can end up having dueling crusades running at the same time, which can get more than a little confusing. You need to control Rome to start the Lilith papacy, so it's a good option to start somewhere in Italy. Lilithanism only allows female bishops, so as it gets established, more and more male bishops will be removed and replaced with women. If you force a male bishop to convert religions he'll be defrocked and replaced, which can be quite useful.

I broke the system by granting my Lilith pope the county of Rome, then offering her vassalization, which she promptly accepted. Very useful because I can then keep granting her additional churches as I acquire more land and keep her under my thumb.

At this point my ruler is 297, and people keep suspecting her of being immortal. I cancel that -40 opinion by jumping into their beds, or by making them have sudden manure accidents (although I honestly don't need to do that often because everyone is in love with me).

I've conquered a large chunk of mainland Europe and I'm interested in seeing how far this goes. The only downside is that the game starts to chug with so much going on.

There's quite a bit to explore here. If you're a fan of CK2, I would recommend giving it a spin.

If you wish to try the mods out, all mods to CK2 need to be unzipped in your user folder on your C:\ drive in this folder, then enabled in the CK2 loader before starting the game:

C:\Users\<User>\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\mod

Additionally, you will need to create a free LoversLab account to be able to download them.

Happy gaming!

Cool Devices Part 2

Cool Devices: Operation Nine: Slave Warrior Maya II

This episode is actually the second part of a two parter, but I found episode eight to be rather boring. There are some scenes near the end where the heroine is captured and tortured by robot tentacles, causing her to grow a penis (the first futanari show I know about, wow!) That might be worth a watch if you like that sort of thing, but it's surprisingly not as exciting as it could be.

Otherwise, all you really need to know is that boring girl Maya has somehow been transported into a fantasy + sci fi world and is being tortured by the evil villains of that world.

Ready? Let's go!

First we start with a flashback scene or two from the last episode where Maya is being molested by tentacle arms. We never actually see what they're attached to - perhaps it's a combination vacuum sweeper and breast pumper machine.

Evil dude has a tentacle attached to her pussy. This is the tentacle that magically grows her a penis, which will come into play later.

Generic evil villain dude gives Maya to a dominatrix, who is dubbed surprisingly well in English (far better than in most porn flicks I've ever watched).

"Nakedness suits a sex slave, don't you think?"

Now it's time for some gratuitous kissing and fondling.

I do wish we see more of the dominatrix, I would have been quite happy if she had been in both episodes, but alas we only see her here.

The dominatrix eventually gets down to business, fingering her pussy to show Maya that her new member is ready for action, then jacking her off.

"It looks like you just popped your first load. Now I'll take my time teaching you the joy of slavery. Of women. Of flesh."

Sadly, we don't get to see more of that as the scene cuts away to boring McBoring fantasy people, but when we come back we see she's been occupying her time sucking people off, and has appeared to have gotten quite good at it. She visits with another girl named Leyna, and they have a heart to heart talk.

Leyna appears to be a maid in the evil castle, and tries to help Maya escape, but the dominatrix swapped her keys with jello molds while she wasn't looking.

They're caught and Maya is impregnated with an alien organism.

"Your new best friend. It's a parasite from the Rhodesia star system."

"Oh, would you look at that, I think it likes you."

"What a view. I can see right up into your uterus."

Her vagina is yanked apart by golden tuning forks and the alien is implanted.

"Once it's inside you, it becomes like a reproductive organ that controls your sexual appetite, taking over your brain so that you'll crave sex all the time and become the perfect sex slave. Isn't that lovely, Maya?"

The scene cuts away again, and when we come back, we see Leyna being dicked by a bevy of men.

She seems pretty good at servicing them, though one wonders why the men have red eyes - that's never explained. Maybe it's just because they have the evil (TM) gene.

The next part is the hottest part of the show, where the dominatrix leads Maya back in, but now her eyes are totally blank, brainwashed by the alien sex slug.

"Thanks to you, she's become a fine sex slave."

"When the parasite destroys her brain, she'll be a prisoner of her desires."

We scroll down and see that Maya's implanted penis is totally erect, with a bizarre belt wrapped around it. One might think that it would be totally impractical, and you would be right, as the dominatrix almost immediately takes it off so Maya can go to work on Leyna.

Leyna is forced to go down on Maya.

"Leyna, do me."

Leyna has some fun with brainwashed Maya.

Seriously, this scene is smoking hot. Brainwashed slave doing another slave? Yes, please.

Eventually we get to the real action, despite Leyna's reluctance.

Not without some gratuitous, but appreciated, boob action shots...

...and some doggy style riding. It's a surprisingly long sex scene. The alien slug doesn't make its presence known other than making Maya a total sex fiend.

Eventually, Maya reaches coitus. Why she doesn't cum inside Leyna is anybody's guess. Who knows whether Maya's fake dick is actually fertile... they certainly don't explain that.

And that's it. Maya is an eternally brainwashed slave, her mind broken by the parasite, doomed to serve the evil one forever as his sex slave. Over time, she recruits and trains more slaves to the ranks, all of them slowly being broken under her huge dick as they are trained to properly obey by the dominatrix.

Or, at least, that's how I wish it had ended. That would have been hot.

Instead, we get some deus ex machina bullshit where a voice over arrives and tells Maya to "awaken", that she has a "duty" and a "destiny to fulfill."

Her eyes go white, a sword magically appears, and she fights her way out of the castle, rescuing both herself and Leyna from the evil clutches of villainy!

Well, sorry, no, that doesn't actually happen either. Instead, her dick explodes in delight, her fanstasy creature friends look up at a beam of light in the sky, and the story ends. Maybe they ran out of budget. Maybe the guy telling the story found out too late that he didn't have another episode to tell it.

Whatever the reason, it just ends abruptly in an unsatisfying manner. No loose ends are tied up, the story just... ends.

No, we don't find out what happens to Maya or Leyna, and it's never revealed how she deals with the sex parasite planted inside her. Bummer. All I can do is hold fast to the belief that many more sexy times were had by all.

Operation Nine Thoughts

The sex parasite scene is the greatest mind control scene I've seen in hentai. I just wish it was further elaborated. In my mind, the evil villain is banished, and they're all being controlled like puppets by a mistress. Over time, more and more women are recruited to her sex dungeon and converted into sex animals by alien parasites, trained by our lovely dominatrix.

Ah, but only if...

No use in crying over what isn't there. But there's a lot of ideas here ripe for the plucking. I've always wanted to write a 'training' story, perhaps there's some fodder here I can use eventually.

I do wish that they would make more hentai like this again, but for some reason it's just not a topic that seems very popular. Mind control in fiction IS a fairly popular trope, but the fetish itself is far more niche. That's life.

Have you seen anything that tops these? I'd like to hear about it... drop a line in the comments below!

Cool Devices Part 1

Looking through some of the smut videos I have collected on my hard drive over the years, one in particular caught my attention that I haven't viewed in quite some time.

There haven't been many Japanese hentais that have shown BDSM themes - at least not many good ones that I am aware. Unfortunately, so many hentais seem to have really ugly, or really fat guys fucking chicks. Of course, as the viewer you're supposed to pay more attention to person being fucked than the one doing the fucking, but for me it's too much of a turn off. There's also no subtlety or any form of mind alteration going on in these scenarios, so there's no help there, either.

I only know of about three that I actually like - I'm sure I'll get back to discussing the others in future episodes, but for now let's talk about a show called 'Cool Devices,' made way back in 1995. The earliest form of pure bondage hentai I am aware of, this show was a product of its time, but it doesn't feel as dated as other material made during this time period, probably due to its relatively higher production values.

This was a rather experimental show, with eleven episodes, consisting of unrelated plot lines. There are two stories which were two parters. Wikipedia has a good summary of the show, if <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Devices">you're interested in any of the other episodes.</a> However, I only found episodes one and nine to be to my liking, so those are the ones I will be discussing.

Today I will cover the first episode, and tomorrow the ninth episode.

Operation One: Curious Fruit

The first episode opens with a montage of a girl bound and being molested by two snakes (probably the earliest form of tentacle porn I've ever seen, besides La Blue Girl, which came out even earlier). A snake bites one of her nipples and turns into a piercing, a foreshadowing of what's to come.

We then transfer to a bar, where two figures approach the bartender. One of them is wearing a transparent latex outfit, a corset, and black latex gloves, which reveals her breasts and labia. At this point in most shows the police would turn up, but luckily this is a dark porn flick.

They kiss each other as the man molests her, but it's clear that the woman is in charge.

The bartender and others surrounding them are appalled at their carefree attitude, but they don't care. They've probably done this before, which makes it even more surprising that the cops don't show up.

The scene shifts to a table near the rear where the woman from the prologue sits with her friends. She seems intrigued by the couple, even imagining what it would be like to in the place of the other woman. It's interesting that she visualizes herself nude rather than in the outfit the other woman is wearing.

They leave the bar, and our main character follows, curious as to what they're up to.

She is surprised by them, is captured, and is taken to their dungeon.

The dungeon is populated by quite a variety of girls; either they have done this before, or they've attracted a lot of women interested in their lifestyle. Their presence is never explained.

Our main character gets dressed in this delicious outfit, which has informed far too many of the outfits I've written about in my stories. I've seen this sort of thing in one other hentai, which I will have to save to discuss another time.

We get to see some other denizens of the dungeon, who are either having a great time or a terrible time. Probably great, as we never really see true cruelty in this particular show.

The 'mistress' (we never do learn her name) presides over the dungeon.

The mistress commands the guy (the strong and silent type; he never does say anything in the entire show) to give the new girl his dick. He immediately whips out a bright, shiny dong and waves it in her face.

It's amusing to me that this is censored, given that none of the female parts are, but since I'm only looking at the ladies here anyway, it doesn't bother me too much. It's even stranger because the dicks in episode nine of the show aren't censored at all.

They continue for awhile and our character begins to enjoy it (she never seems all that disturbed about what's happening - she must be sucking popsicles made of pure light quite often).

After the fellow does his business, he gives her a bit of a kiss. Hopefully they gave her a shower afterwards, too.

Next scene, we swap to watching her being exhibited at a BDSM party.

Bound and chained, she's put in another delightful outfit and gagged and whipped.

After a little bit of whipping, the mistress leads her like a pet up to a platform.

The distinctly eighties crowd watches her with joy as her hands are chained above her head.

Exposed and ready for action, she doesn't have to hang around long.

Full body suit man gives her some more whipping, which she doesn't seem too displeased about.

The vibrator keeps her ready as tall and dark walks up.

Ordered by the mistress, he goes down on her, revving her up.

She gets a boob massage for awhile...

...which ends when he gives her what she wants.

Is this the start of a new relationship based upon anonymous sex in a night club? I think so.

We swap back to the bar, where her friends are wondering what she's been up to. None of them look like they have the right hair style to live it up in a BDSM club, why is why they're here in this boring bar instead.

In walks a mysterious figure, dressed in an exposed outfit, much like the mistress we saw at the beginning of the episode.

She gets molested by the two men she came in with, a reprise of the opening scene. When she turns around, her friends all exclaim in shock and surprise!

They must have become lovers after they made love in the club. Her nipples are pierced with the same piercings shown in the intro, bringing the story full circle.

At this point the episode ends, leaving us with a series of delicious questions:

1. Is she a mistress, or a slave? The final scene is ambiguous. An argument could be made for either, given that one of the men is quite aggressive with her. At any rate, she definitely belongs to the BDSM club now.
2. Will one of her friends follow them from the bar and become entrapped in the same BDSM club that she found?
3. How long did she have to stay at that club for this to happen to her? Were certain... methods of persuasion used to make her more amenable to becoming a new club whore?

Operation One Thoughts

There's no overt mind control in this episode, but as evidenced by the final questions above, there's lots of possibilities that could have come about due to mind control. Serial recruitment has always been a hot button for me, and there's lots of room for more of it in a show like this. It's a shame there's no other show I've seen that follows the same themes.

Looking back, I think this show has had an outsized influenced in the writing I've done. The costumes, piercings, and aspects of BDSM are really fun to play with. I wish I knew of other shows like this one.
