Midweek MC: Corruption of Champions Edition

In the world of text based smut games, Corruption of Champions is fairly legendary. I would be surprised if any of you haven't heard of it. What you may not have heard of, however, is that there is an active modding community that is keeping the project going now that Fenoxo has moved off to other projects.

You can find the modded version located here, called the 'Revamp' mod.

Fenoxo also has additional offerings linked from his web site. I'll walk through CoC and talk about what I think are my favorite bad ends. Here's Fenoxo's download page if you want to go directly there.

Perhaps this stretches the 'Mind Control' tag on the Midweek MC, as there isn't as much mind control going on in these games (quite a shame, in my opinion, since there's plenty of room in this type of game for hot transformations using mind control). Still, they're fun to explore and imagine my own bad ends.

Here's some random bad ends I've been thinking about while fooling around with the idea of writing my own game.

1. Our heroine ends up on a planet ruled by ever warring tribal queens. To run their war efforts, they need lots of cart bearing animals for transporting supplies in their logistical trains. The main character gets brainwashed and ends up as a pony girl, bearing their burdens and serving as a bed slave as they transit from location to location.
1. Or, depending upon the path you take, you can end up as a milk cow, or even breeding stock, if you're discovered by the right mistress.
2. Whilst exploring a remote cave, the hero comes upon spongy organisms that look like amoebas which cause faint feelings of pleasure when they are touched. As the situation escalates, more and more of the organisms appear until you're blocked into the cave. Some of them slip under your clothing, taking liberties with your breasts. Eventually you turn into a breeding ground for new organisms, and others come to investigate why there's so many of the organisms infesting the area (the local town starts having problems with people disappearing and being turned into breeders).
3. The heroine finds a rubber globe on her bedside table. The more she touches it, the farther she falls to the rubber corruption, which slowly coats different parts of her body with a rubbery mass. Those parts become ever increasingly sensitive to the point where she can no longer think about important things. Eventually she is taken and is re-purposed as a rubber slave for her superiors. Comments are made about 'how much of a shame' it is that she was unable to overcome the conditioning, but that she has 'been made useful anyway.'
4. To support the war effort, your heroine has the option to incubate the eggs of insect warriors that serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield. If you incubate too many of them too often, then you get turned into a mindless, egg bearing slut.

Many of these ideas would only work in either a fantasy or a sci-fi setting, and some would only work well in more of a game-y way where you can slowly trickle out the body and mind transformations. That's probably why I'd lean towards making a corruption of champions style game  over making a choose your adventure, though putting together something like that in Twine would be fairly difficult. Both story styles have their advantages and disadvantages.

I have more ideas, but I can't let all the cats out of the bag before I ever get a chance to use them!

Corruption of Champions (+CoC Prisoner)

Corruption of Champions is a text based game where you explore various areas, gathering transformative items and encountering sexual bad ends. You can find the original version on this page. The latest modded version as of this writing is located here.

I would highly recommend downloading the modded version, since it includes the latest released base game, as well as many additions that didn't make it into the base game. This includes the incomplete 'Prison' mod that has been available for CoC a long time, made by fei fei wong.

It's worth the time to explore the submissive subplot in the prison, though it's still not a completely fleshed out area, to my understanding. If you wish to explore it, you'll want to load the modded version of the game, go to the 'Options' menu, and turn the 'Prison' switch to 'On.' Then, while playing the game, when you encounter the bizarre bazaar in the game, you can access the dungeon by being captured in the back alley. Be aware that you need to be above 33 corruption to visit the bizarre bazaar, or you need to be able to beat the guardian of the bazaar.

I would recommend these bad ends in the original game proper:

• Any of the bad ends in the 'Desert Cave.' Being turned into a breeder slut with quad breasts? Yes, please!
• Any of the bad ends in the 'Demon Factory.' If you lose, you can get turned into a lifelong demon cow, having your milk pumped from your breasts via automated machinery. Also yum.
• The good old Fetish Cultist ending, where you become a latex cultist. Very hard to trigger, as it requires that you have an intelligence under 9 as well as the event has to have been triggered for you to encounter cultists in the first place (I'm unsure what's required for that). Drinking Equinum or eating Canine Peppers or Whisker Fruits are good ways to decrease intelligence early game. Just don't turn yourself into a full on horse since that's a bad end.
• Anything to do with Ceraph. It's always fun to get a few piercings from her, then make the decision whether you want to go all the way. Just don't get that last piercing or you can't fight anything.

Additionally, it's always fun to turn yourself into a drider and impregnate all those enemies who stand in your way. :)

One confession I should make is that I just discovered that the CoC Revamp mod existed while writing this, so I need some time to go explore what has been added. The wiki for the Revamp mod is available here. The forum page is located here.

Trials in Tainted Space (TiTS)

TiTS is Fenoxo's attempt to get into the Sci-Fi genre, and in my personal opinion it didn't work out as well as CoC. I've tried this several times, and simply can't get into it.

The production values clearly went up, but along with them the style of game changed, introducing new problems that weren't there before. The map is shown to the player, making it easier to see where you're going, but in every area you're given the opportunity to explore. Exploring may result in a monster encounter, or something else interesting happening - you never know.

This, combined with a slew of areas, makes it hard to know if you're ever in the right spot to find something. This makes using a guide via the wiki almost a requirement to play the game, which in my opinion is a bummer.

This coupled with the fact that none of the transformations or bad ends really hits my buttons has made me give it a pass.

But don't take my word for it! Try it out yourself and form your own opinion.

Corruption of Champions 2

I hesitate to directly recommend this game. It's well written, but it follows the same format as TiTS, which means it inherits the same problems that game has. It seems more difficult to find the bad ends you're looking for, and it doesn't appear completely finished as of yet.

Much like TiTS, I wouldn't give it a hard pass - definitely check it out if that's your bag, but so far I haven't found a lot that tickles my particular fancies here. Here's the download link.
