I was a dungeon master in the D&D setting for a couple of years. I read the Drow novels of Salvatore back in the day and collected several rpg source books about the Drow of Menzoberranzan. You did a terrific job of capturing the mannerism of the twisted Elves and their condescending demeanor directed towards the protagonist.
In addition, the kinks portrayed in the game (femdom, foot worship, humiliation, strapon, whipping, bitch slaps) are right up my alley. The atmosphere which includes the music and underdark surroundings and are also good.
The characters depicted in the game are created with love and it is a joy to interact with them. I read somewhere on the interwebz that people complained about the first fight involving the big crawler. I had no difficulties with the critter because I made sure to keep my alter ego in top shape. You even informed the player via one of your npcs that a battle will commence soon, so nobody would have an excuse when he is confronted by the monster.
I especially like that my choices made during game play have consequences later on. When I snitched about my beatdown delivered by the Princess in the prison cell, she hated my guts. This is good game design. The game itself is fluid and I encountered only one bug that prevented me from eating cheese in the prison complex. Though after proceeding to play the game, the bug vanished.
I chose for my character during the demo only slave skills to please my Dark Elf mistresses as every submissive slave suffering from Stockholm syndrome should do. But to my surprise I didn´t suffer any significant disadvantages while encountering the horrors of the underdark during mining. As a consequence of this, you could make either the critters tougher or increase the price of food/drink because at the end of the demo my character lived like a king having access to multiple sausages, cheese, etc.
Let´s talk now about your inclusion of Futas in this game. I don´t like this kink but it is not a deal breaker for me because my alter ego has the choice to interact with these characters during erotic encounters. As long as this concept won´t be changed, there shouldn´t be big problems with the player base. Please bear in mind that the Futa kink is not as widespread like for example a Foot Fetish.
What other femdom games have I tried to judge this game? I played the demos of your other games ("Asylum" and "Femdom City") and Tower of Trample from Bo Wei. I wrote on Lover´s Lab my impression of "Femdom City" by the way. So if you feel inclined there is more feedback for you to read. Though there are two bugbears with your game and that is the absence of witty trash talk when of the mistresses has her way with the protagonist. Or in a nutshell:
The humiliation/emasculation level is too low during erotic encounters.
Yes, the Dark Elves are snobby and constantly stress their genetic superiority during dialogue but the combination of the erotic scene & humiliation is simply not there and that´s a fact that I begrudge. In my opinion Bo Wei´s game is superior in this aspect.
The other problem is that the character´s affection is reduced when he interacts/ bothers his captors. That´s a little bit too harsh. I could be wrong with this one but that is the way I remember it. Perhaps the mistresses could give the character a fair warning here before the reduction takes place. I also couldn´t figure out when a Dark Elf is in the mood. Is it a percentage chance whenever you interact with them?
First of all, thanks for the detailed feedback. It always helps a lot.
I try to make most fetishes optional...especially the more specific ones. While Foot Fetish definitely is one of the most common ones, futanari is quite popular either. It is the same with humiliation by the way, so while you say you want more of it, others just don't. It is always tough to find a good common ground where everyone can enjoy his/her favourite fetish while ignoring the ones that are not a turn on.
My version of the Dark Elves are inspired by the D&D drow, but also by the Dark Elves of Warhammer and some stuff I just made up myself, I'm pleased to hear that you like it but they don't have to have all traits of the Drow, like constantly humiliating others. Some characters do have that trait, some do not.
The affection with another Dark Elf is NOT lowered by small talk! It is stated in the tutorial text already. A negative affection button will only indicate that your affection with that dark elf is currently not high enough to get a detailed answer out of her to a specific topic :).
Oh, and before I forget...the requirements for beating the crawler got lowered quite a bit. You're playing the fixed version already. Before that, you did not get a warning and the crawler was a lot tougher ;)
you invest points and level up your character properly. it is already stated in the tutorial text: Press Esc, press the Stats tab in the menu and level the skills that you need :)
Any tips on how to defeat the crawler? Everytime I try to beat it, I miss one or two times which ends in my death, or don't do enough damage even after I've trained the two nights beforehand.
Simply mine until you are Level 2, get your health and stamina back as much as possible (that means you don't want to train, since training gives you exp but doesn't recover stamina and health) and then use the skill double swift strike as often as possible
hey i love the game but im playing on android, and in the first sex scene it tells you to hold/tap the enter button. We dont have enter buttons, and i tried double finger tapping (which is the only thing i could really think to do) and it didnt work. Any advice on how to successfully complete the scene?
You have to help me here so I can help you. What's the error? Do you have problems unpacking it? Then updating your WinRar (or the archiver that you are currently using) might help. The game is not starting? Try starting it in compatibility mode.
I can't help you when you just say: please check! Because I've checked and played it hundreds of times ;)
Dear Darktoz thanks for this great kinky game . Finished n liked it so much . Looking forward of continue . You asked when your game ending next place and hero . My choices are Abyss and Grishna . When will you make of continue this game ???
I did not really ask for that, it was the foreshadowing of a Patreon Poll where Patreon Supporters could vote on what happens next. That poll has already been done :).
Updates on the progress of the game are patreon exclusive either :) But it's fair to say that I'm working on it ;)
And poll result ??? :) i subscribed yesterday of patreon for you and made a donation too . Waiting your working on it . Please be quickly for episode 2 :)

Last but not least comes the grade:
Grade: 8/10
Have a nice day,

holy phookin shit

Any tips on how to defeat the crawler? Everytime I try to beat it, I miss one or two times which ends in my death, or don't do enough damage even after I've trained the two nights beforehand.
Simply mine until you are Level 2, get your health and stamina back as much as possible (that means you don't want to train, since training gives you exp but doesn't recover stamina and health) and then use the skill double swift strike as often as possible

hey i love the game but im playing on android, and in the first sex scene it tells you to hold/tap the enter button. We dont have enter buttons, and i tried double finger tapping (which is the only thing i could really think to do) and it didnt work. Any advice on how to successfully complete the scene?
You simply press and hold with one finger
