Having got the hang of the controls and played for several hours I can give more detailed (and hopefully more balanced) feedback.

First of all I really like the game, on many levels. The art is great. The somewhat challenging difficulty, while a surprise in this genre, works very well. The dialogue is (for me anyway) the perfect balance between fetishy and funny. The characters have real difference and real integrity, and (so far in the story) appear to be showing progression. Again, very rare in this genre (rare enough in games in general).  So that's outstanding. And taken as a whole, this makes the game succeed as a roleplay of being a slave, vulnerable at the hands of very powerful and quite dangerous female captors. This could easily have been constructed as a disguised "harem game" with a Femdom "skin".  You have consciously and skillfully avoided that, and that is also impressive.

I'm stuck as I can't figure out how to select the improved attack (double strike or whatever) on Android in the battle with the crawler. Great game however!

ok right - it's in the Stamina menu - that really makes no sense, but, whatever. 

Similarly you need to say, in the first animation scenes, how Android controls can speed up or end the scenes. I have no idea how to do either, and the two finger tap does nothing in this situation. 

Stamina is the resource that is used in the game for all actions. Not only battle, but also mining. It is represented in the game with the blue bar. Every special attack costs stamina, that is why in the battle menu these attacks are in the stamina tab. If that makes no sense for you then I'm sorry, but that wasn't really an issue for other players. In fact, you're the first one who brought that up.

You can't speed up the scenes in android. The port is kept very simple, it is a basic port of the windows desktop version. The scenes end when you press your finger on the screen. I think every android user is capable of figuring that out. Speeding up the scenes only works in the windows version because of the way android handles input variables.

Thanks for that clarification. Yes it was clear in hindsight that that's how Stamina works. It was just weird to find special attacks under a menu called Stamina, rather than say, finding them under a menu called Special Attacks and discovering - which would not be surprising - that they consume Stamina.


I'm very grateful the game is starting to be multi-platform otherwise I wouldn't have played it. I think as part of making it multi-platform you will have to remove in-game instructions that are Windows-specific, like the ones that appear on the first animation. I did figure out how to stop the animations but Ialso spent a long time trying to guess how to speed them up. Now you're telling me that's not possible in the Android version, which is fine, but that needs to be communicated. So the hint messages either need to be made more generic, or customised to be platform specific. Again I realise this is the first iteration on Android so it's totally understandable.

I want to say, it's a really good game, not just superficially but it's clear it has proper game design thinking behind it, which is unusual for an NSFW game. Please take this feedback as constructive. 

Hey,

First of all, thanks for your work, I really appreciate everything that you are doing and it's simply great to see other ppl creating and... "enjoying" art of ... morally questonable context. Talking about y'all, pervs.

I have just one minor problem to report. (possible spoilers of ep.2):



When i touch the 2nd altar the scene with arachna is being played, and after having some of my stamina being drained the whole screen goes black. I see hp and sp bars in top righ corner, I can keep interacting with the altar (the text: "the stone is stil warm..." is being displayed), i can walk around and interact and stuff, I just can't see a crap XD

I have even memorized the path that leads you away from that particual cave section - and I did left it, But the cave with other slaves and elfs is just as dark.

Dunno if it's error on my side or some bug. I am really looking forward to hearing from you!!!

Muchos lovos.
Darkt, may the kink be "stronk" in you!!! 




You downloaded a pirated version! I can't help but feel a bit satisfied that this version got pirated right away by idiots that couldn't even wait 30 minutes for me to fix this gamebreaking bug!

Episode 2 is not released to the public, only patreon supporters have access to it!

Weird, I am pretty much sure I downloaded it from your site (I was also quite surprised that it was already here, but I even saw the regualr "donate - name your own price" tag that I am seeing on your other games.

The question - is there arny other way to support you (and get access to that particual game) than Patreon? I don't mind making one or two bigger donation, but patreon just isn't my thing.

If that is your problem then why don't you just donate through patreon, get the game and ignore the rest of its features?

Patreon is the best way to support me, because of the low cut that patreon takes. Plus it's easy to handle and supports Paypal.

Have some respect the only thing you accomplish by nagging is pissing the developer off it will be done when he finishes it no sooner unless you really piss them off then never because it becomes no longer enjoyable to make when it starys becoming expected remember there doing this on there free time not yours you want it sooner do it yourself or shut up

How is the progress going my good sir?

Updates on the progress are patreon exclusive, sorry

Hello Darktoz,

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?

Last but not least comes the grade:

Grade: 8/10


Have a nice day,

Foot Fetish Fan

holy phookin shit

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 ;)

Hi, this game is  great but when i'm having a sex scene  i always fail to service properly the dark elves , how  do i succeed  ?

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 :)

Thank you, i didn't noticed it. Your job is really great i will try to support you as soon as i can !

thank you very much :)

Wow, such a great game . Love it l. Thanks for creating it.. waiting for part 2. 😀

thank you :)

Can't wait for episode 2 as well as any further ones

Thank you. I just finished another game of mine, The Asylum. So I will start working on a new episode soon!

Sounds great!

hey, where can i find the save location for android apk?

Oh, I have no idea. Sorry

hello. Why there is no menu in the android version - save buttons or something else?

hello. please just read the instruction on how to play on android. of course there is a menu

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

Thanks

What's new in this version?

Like it is already stated above: A complete new Episode!

(+1)

Well, tomorrow necessarily play a game:3

when is the new update going to be released?

I'm afraid update schedules and release dates are somewhat patreon exclusive ;). All I can say is that I'm currently working on it

your work is so incredible. It will be perfect if you translate the game in french :)

thanks. It will most likely be english only :)

when the next update ? want to play this amazing game more and more <3

Thanks for your interest :). Hopefully at the end of this month, it will be patreon exclusive for the first weeks though ;)

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

I can't wait to play the full version, nice job dev :)

thanks :)

I love all your game

but Dark Elves: Arachna's Return 

   not open(work)  please   check 

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 ;)

Deleted 4 years ago
