HTML - Becoming Prom Queen [v0.6.0b] [The Nook Erotica]

An open world html game done so well.

Unlike so many html porn games, Becoming Prom Queen shows incredible production quality. It does not have a garbage UI or buggy code that results in either errors or raw html/js being displayed in text. The pictures displayed are so often relevant to the scene and, impressively, often consistent with the transformations that have happened to the character.

I am especially impressed by the way Becoming Prom Queen finds a way to blend its storytelling in such an incredible way between real porn pictures. The way that "Leo" transforms into Ella Hollywood, or the way that Eva progresses from cute to bimbo makes you almost forget that these pictures come from porn stars with their own lives, and are not in fact the lives of the characters in the game.

Finally, I want to commend the author on walking the line between being either too safe or downright offensive on the topics of race, gender identity, and feminism. I loved that no matter what type of character I was playing or the choices I was making, the writing seemed to fit my character's outlook and respect their choices. Becoming Prom Queen is just so well-written in so many ways.

Sure, there are some things about this game that maybe aren't perfect--like the way some stats become grindy and seem to lose relevance so quickly that I wish they had a cap, so I knew when I could stop. Still, the grind didn't even slightly stop me from replaying this game so I could see more paths, so I have to give it 5/5.

I have been greatly enjoying this game. It offers some really interesting options for the MC, no matter what way you lean #teamyara

Starts out decent enough, but by the end of the content the game just breaks everywhere. The "quest" or to do icon shows over characters and then never does anything, and you have no idea of the conditions your trying to meet.

The real porn used is ok to pretty decent, but there are picture size issues with some of it and others there is very little content so you're seeing a lot of repeats.

Grind is ok and there is a reasonable amount of content to get through. The main problem is, for me, it is very poorly written in places with some passages barely understandable.

On the whole, it's not brilliant but its good enough to while away a few hours of fappability.

v0.5.0d Review:

TL;DR:
Boilerplate interactive fiction/choose-your-own-adventure style gameplay with some light grind to unlock scenes. Excellent writing and pacing. Tons of content. Heavy investment on specific kinks (option to block) that might not be for everyone. Interface is fine (significant refactor on the interface from the previous version), but there are unfinished elements (the way you dress/look doesn't appear to do anything currently).

Full Review:
This game is heavily invested in 3 specific kinks: BBC/BNWO, Trans, Submission. Even though a lot of the content isn't to my specific preferences, there is a ton of it for each kink, so it might be worth a play through even if they aren't your favorite as long as you're not totally put off by any of them. There is an option to block content you don't like, but the density of content will suffer pretty significantly for each item on your blacklist which will make the game feel more grindy.

The writing is really well done for the smut and there's a pretty good distribution of prose to visuals (maybe a little heavy on the prose). The variety of the pics is broad and story scenes have mostly unique visuals to go with them so it always feels like you're seeing something new. Most of the visuals are still-images, and the animated pics are short (which I tend to prefer for text-heavy games since I can't read and watch at the same time), so if long videos is what you're looking for, this ain't it.

The pacing in the current version is excellent, although uneven for all the paths. On the BNWO path, there doesn't feel like there's a lot of runway left before you'll run out of options to escalate. The trans and S&M content feels like it's just starting to get serious when the game reaches its "end". I say "end" because it just sort of stops working near the end of March instead of letting you know there isn't any more content (~90 days with an average of 2 significant scenes per day is a LOT of content, especially if you read everything).

The interface is pretty typical for HTML games with a 4 part schedule where you pick the four things you do every day. Certain activities raise stats which unlock optional paths in story segments, and unlock new interactions in sandbox areas. There are some unfinished elements in the game like inventory, wardrobe, and appearance changes that don't appear to do anything currently, but it's almost never obvious which will or won't have an affect on gameplay which is a shame.

Overall, solid unfinished experience.

The amount of effort and creativity put into this game is incredible, the dev is responsive, consistently updating, and building on the different plot lines.

Excellent character writing, a diverse cast of characters to interact with, corrupt, dom, sub to, whatever. The game is packed with things to do as well!

Highly worth your time.

This game is awesome with all the numerous routes , plenty of kinks covered for everyone as the MC finds herself in the story. The passion from the dev is clear to see and love all the effort they continue to put into this!

Novel premise of a female protagonist in a corruption/sissification game. Nice slow burn story with interesting characters.
Developer responds well to feedback and has made great strides to improve game over the course of the past year with regular updates.
Very slick interface for a twine game.

This game totally took me by surprise. I am not big on HTML games lately (mostly because saves are just annoying when your browser crashes / restarts and you didn't save to disk, and you can't remember what any of your disk saves mean, etc). But that's about Twine's limitations, not this game specifically.

So this game starts with a straight forward premise - girl, kinda good, corrupt her into a slut of some kind. And the paths you can corrupt her are your basic kink paths - bbc/bno, Dom/sub (to girls or guys), bimbo, sluttification, etc. You can see the tags. But! I went in with some idea of what kind of content I wanted and somehow, through its mechanics, through its great and clear character writing for some of the characters (some are certainly for fleshed out then others, or more interesting), graphics, layout, order of events.... I actually became invested. To the point where I was changing my mind and moving down different paths, turning characters down different paths then I'd originally envisioned for them, curious where things would open up...

Don't get me wrong, some of the stuff is certainly hardcore deus-ex-machina. Like, porn-level 'oh mr plumber however will pay' level of suspension of disbelief. And yet, because of the amount of control you get over the character, you get ok with it - because you are part of what's pulling those disbelief layers, you are the 'deus' in the machine, so its ok.

I can't quite put this game into a good enough box without referring to other games (a no-no in reviews) to describe it... I'll just say if any of the stuff in here is your kink, you should give this game a chance. Because you can kinda navigate just one or two kinks and still be pleasantly surprised.

I tried this a long time ago when it first came out and though it was ok but wanted to wait till it had more content.

The developer has now done a great job of polishing things and making a decent interface and there seems to be quite a lot of content.

There are not many games which have MC lesbian submission content and less in this style where it is more personal discovery based over a dominant boss or similar. If that sounds like something you would be interested in you should give this one a go.

It does also have BBC dom content as well but that path can be entirely skipped if you are not into that.

This game is amazing, combines so many great kinks into one fun game. The only thing i can say that I do not like is that you have to restart or use a "quick start" every update. Other than that I am really liking it. I think the NTR/Cuck path is a little light but I LOVE the BLM bath and the sub path. So good so far!

Female protagonist game where you slut your way to trying to be homecoming queen.

The loop is pretty sterile: Wake up -> Go to School -> Event? -> Grind Cash or Stats -> Sleep and Repeat

Having a content filter is definitely a pro, but most of the content is content seems geared towards BBC/interracial. There's a fair bit of sub content, but it usually felt like a I was just making the best of a bad situation with lesbian routes to avoid the other kinks since they're still in the game, but just reduced by toggles. The childhood friend might have been a vanilla route, but I avoided it since it had been tagged NTR as a precaution.

It's playable now, but lacks in content.

The gameplay is as follows:
You wake up, go to school, talk to quads, go to a point of interest of that day, go gym/library, then sleep/masturbate. Rinse repeat.
Sometimes to advance a scene you have to get to a specific hour in specific day.


The red exclaimatation marks are not working properly (but it's good that they are there at all). You finished an event and these still signal something. The same with phone: you finished answering sb's SMS and the text informing you that you got phoned stays there.

The best part is that "target" icon which makes sure you know how to advance to get a scene, so you are never lost.

The mirror and portrait features are useless. Maybe copied from similar games, but so far only work with 1 short quest of buying bigger boobs at Plasticity.

The option to switch off certain fetishes was a very good idea. This review got extra 1 star for this alone.

In general it wasn't bad and boring, but long and lacking in content.

The story is okay. The videos/images are okay. It's clear that the dev has a lot of interesting ideas and has put a lot of time and effort into it. But...

Frankly, the interface is awful. It's not consistent, it's way too busy, the way that it's busy doesn't lend itself to the story, and some stuff just doesn't work. (There are a couple of soft locks, and tons of image errors.) It appears like the dev struggled to figure out ways to do things, and once they found something that sortof worked, just left it. Take the bedroom for example. There are several things to do before you go to sleep. One of them is to visit Instagram (um, dev, you might want to provide a generic alternative before G00GLE sues your a$$) and do your "Post of the day." Then, try to tap the Sleep button. It takes a couple of tries because when your mouse passes over "Post of the day" you get a helpful(?) popup telling you you've already done it. Over the grayed-out button. That you've already just hit. The popup appears right over top of the sleep button and takes the clicks. You have to maneuver the mouse out of the way before coming back to the sleep button, carefully winding around the "Post of the day" button so that you don't set it off again. The sidebar text is way too small on my monitor with no way to make it larger except to zoom in on the entire window. I was tearing my hair out over the wardrobe "system" until I figured out it didn't mean diddly to the game, at least at the moment. The interface implies that you can set different wardrobe sets for working out, sleep, etc. but it doesn't remember what you've done, and I don't see any kind of "save as" button. The wardrobe itself is klunky and non-intuitive. The navigation system...ah well.

I guess what I'm saying is that the game has a lot of potential, but it's not fun playing it at the moment. There's precious little sex aside from watching porn. You get the illusion that you can guide relationships with NPCs but it's not ever clear how. Is the only way to get with Eva is to bimbofy her? You have to be a sub to be with Yara? "My friendship with her has reached its peak, I need to do something special to evolve it now." Like, what??

A lot more time needs to be spent on presentation, tightening up the story, and making the whole game a bit more consistent. A true quests system needs to be implemented. Images are sometimes way too small. There ought to be a zoom popup or something to see detail. The little icons are almost worthless: they're so small that you can't tell what some of them are, and out of context, they mean very little when it comes to making a decision. That's where the quest system would help immensely. All of this should be done before adding any new content. It gets geometrically harder the longer you go if you don't.

Review is for v0.3.3b
It's pretty average. Unfortunately, has the same issues that so many of these sorts of open world games have. Grindy and lack of end game content.
Taking a step back from the negative though, and there's a lot of good going on. The grind isn't all that bad because there's events going on to fill out the days. The stats are honestly pretty fleshed out already, they have meaning and doing different things leads to separate events. There's a nice assortment of characters to choose, and they all have a decent amount of content.
On to the nongeneral negatives. I would like to see a romance/boyfriend route or some sort of blackmail route, that allowed for sex earlier. As it is now, it takes forever to get to any sort of content, and if feels like it's going to go from 0-100 in one day. Adding a route that allows for sex early would still fit, realistically, and help break up the early game grind. Second, the job isn't all that good. If feels tacked on because there needs to be a way to gain money, but none of it seams to matter in the grand scheme of things. Lastly, the UI could use some updates, Actions should have times associated with them so we know how long they will take, and stat changes should be added to the dialog box when applicable. The stats changes do show on the side, but when there is anything like your phone or Instagram being open, then it's really hard to see what goes up or down.
Overall it's a really good game, There's a grind, but it's not all that bad, and there's a lot of early game events to break it up. Very excited to see what's in store in the future!

Probably the best HTML game being produced right now along wit SUP and Blue Swallow (I obviously have a bias towards this type of game but anyway).

It's obviously still has a while to go in development but it already has enough content to warrant multiple playthroughs unlike alot of other games with more updates.

- A lot of diffrent fetishes that are properly realized.

- Hot gifs.

- Activities that really adds to the immersive life sim elements.

There are still some cons but some of them might change through development.

- The game is quite grindy but you can use the sugarcube.state.variable to shorten it alot.

- While I love character customization both the starting character creation and dressing up in different outfits adds nothing to the actual gameplay as of now. I would like it if characters could comment on your clothing or like you more for wearing different types of clothes or having blue eyes or whatever. Like if you wear the QoS panties when you have sex with black men you would get an extra bit of dialogue for a more concrete example.

- On the same topic the artstyle for your MCs appearance clashes really hard with the real pictures of other characters. Something like chosing between real pictures or preferably some sort of AI-generated realistic face face would probably mix better.

But as already said amazing game very much worth a download and keeping an eye out for.

Updated review for v0.4.0d

The progress feels much better now. Even if it still takes a while to get to proper sex scenes, there is a lot of good build up to them, and the addition of those social media pics are done much better than in other games - they add value to the slow descent of the character.

I'm bumping it to 4 stars.

--------------------------------------

Old review for v0.3.1c
The game has a lot of text content - this gives life to the school and the interactions with other characters.

Unfortunately, the game doesn't really work as an adult one - the sexual content is extremely low, and it gets to a point where a slow burn can be too slow and become a turn off.

I got the first sex scene after close to two hours, and it was a bunch of cropped low quality pictures between massive textwalls describing an entirely vanilla scene.

The gameplay itself is repetitive and features the usual senseless grind that plagues HTML games: repeat an action a dozen times to unlock the next step on a path. Rinse and repeat.

There are some random events, but most don't seem to do anything, or maybe they require a yet longer grind to trigger something else.

I only found one bug, and it went away after skipping a day.

I'm giving it three stars because jesus, that's a lot of text, and coding so many different class scenes and chats takes effort. It's honestly unfortunate that the sex content is so scarce and poor, because the dev clearly has the skills to make something better than the usual real porn HTML faux-sandbox.

It's not bad, the content feels like you've got a slow burn going on but just as it gets to where you think content will start happening I realized I hit the end of the development paths.

A lot of the buttons for transitions and the phone etc are too small on a larger monitor, making clicking through the menus slow and tedious. That's half the fault of the HTML game system.

I found the way some of the menus and stats worked nonsensical. Where was I supposed to get media literacy? Why did my school performance keep going down even though I went to class every day? Why was there only a total of like 8 text messages in the whole game"?

On that note, I loved the phone app but it wasn't used nearly enough.

Very well planned game. I love it there are hints which explain if you're to miss some content. Text is not particularly interesting and a bit long from time to time, but the overall game is good. Characters have uniqueness and are interesting. I wish it was a bit more graphical during sex scenes. Good luck to the dev!

Not only full of bugs, this game will shame you for playing it. So far, it has basically no content. All of this can change, but we'll see.

As a demo of concept, this would be great. But for a game started, it is very chaotic. There are some paths, like the Leo sissy path, which can be avoided, but it is unclear if this choice leads anywhere. Many paths lead nowhere, maybe with a future intention, maybe with none. A lot is unclear, when playing the game. Except for bugs. Sometimes the "back" button will not help you escape them, and an emergency escape button is lacking. Playing this game yields no rewards, you know what I mean.

This game has potential. It should not have been released here yet in this condition, but that is not the fault of the dev. It is structured well, but it suffers from a lot of bugs.

Being honest this game in this state doesn't deserve a 4 star rating it is more like 2.5, but it is very early on in development and giving it that kind of rating could hamper it. Wich is not what I want to do, because it has the potential to be a good game. So to the dev, Progress your game and fix the bugs fast, because they are the biggest problem right now.
