RAGS RAGS Games Megathread [2024-11-19] [Multiple Devs]

[Tsugumi]

Datawungui Pace aside, Bedlam said that the RAGS side of No Haven is over and done with (at 0.991). I would say it is the perfect time for being added because it will never need updating again (since Bedlam is porting NH to Twine now).

But yes, due to Bedlam-speed the game as a whole is almost guaranteed to be slapped with "Abandoned" on F95.

I remember "MotelS" being pretty good, mainly mind control/hypnosis, but I'd also recommend "Tales of the Drunken Cowboy" (Which is RAGS, but not on the list).

Tales of the Drunken Cowboy also got a HTML release:

Some amazing, unfinished Games.

Tales of the Drunken Cowboy is/was a great game.
Been ages since I last played it

Many Rags games of transformation theme were first released in the tfgames website. So you can find their authors' names there in the website search engine.

Well, turning up in a bundle on F95 wasn't on my bingo card today, but here we are!

Most of the games are either mind control, transformation or a combination of the two. If you don't want to wrangle with RAGS, and it really doesn't work well with modern systems, I'd suggest running the games you're interested in through

.

For completeness, The Doll & The Jade Ring are my conversions of the other authors' work, whilst The House that Jack Built was White Washed writing and my coding. Oh and not mine but the Little Slave Lost games are by Morbo and Genie Gone Wild Xiriel.

And the above recommendations are pretty solid, most mind control games as it happens!

Holy hell I didn't know you were on this site, been years since I played one of your games...or anything RAGS related in general.

Talk about a nostalgia hit seeing your games then you actually here commenting in the thread!

I just wanted to say, a very serious and heartfelt thank you for all the work you've done over the years, your games have always been a treat to play and really helped myself and others discover a helluva lot about ourselves and our feelings.

OP, thank you for taking the trouble for pulling that list together. There are a lot of familiar names on there, for those who were around on tfgames and hypnopics-collective back in the day.

One of the interesting elements of playing through these games is recognizing how many of the tropes, mechanics, narratives & characters from these "old" games got picked up and repackaged or refined in newer engines and iterations. And, of course, these RAGS games owe a lot to the ADRIFT games that came before, and so on...

*** Recommendations ***

Some game recommendations for those who haven't seen these before:

• Rough Landing 1 & 2 - a great two part series, worth playing all the way through. Part 1 starts off a little slow, but quickly blossoms, and Part 2 is great all the way through. Mostly mind control & corruption, with Part 2 bringing in optional genderbending.
  
  
• Overseer - huge & complex game, really playing around with a lot of the tropes of a mind control game. Can be a bit daunting on the mechanical end, lots of details to track.
  
  
• MotelS & Nefarious Evil Plot - both by the same author (bobdenard32) - complex and interactive mind control & corruption mechanics. MotelS is the X-rated take on the "girl's roadtrip gone wrong/right" trope. Nefarious Evil Plot is a superhero origin story, and probably the "stronger" game of the two, but if you like one you'll probably find something to like in the other. Both are unfinished, but plenty of Bad Ends to find.
  • Note that Nefarious Evil Plot has a newer version available on hypnopics-collective (v .18) and has been transferred to HTML.
• Space Ditz - x-rated scifi mindcontrol, corruption and bimbofication galore. Has a full turn-based combat system, power ups, level ups, the works. Many recurring & presistent characters, lots of Bad/Good ends.
  
  
• Bodywerks - more mind control & corruption, with a turn-based combat system and a ton of Bad Ends. A lot of care & attention to detail from the developer, many characters have more than one resolution to their story. Satisfying conclusions ranging from pure escape to total corruption.
  
  
• Magic Portal - fairly standard "fantasy adventure with porn" - lots Bad Ends, mostly of the mind-control type.
  
  
• eTranz - a well made & designed mind-control & corruption adventure, with a focus on stockings & socks as fetish wear. One of the more refined and polished iterations of this type of game, which was very common on hypnopics-collective years ago. Other "similar" games worth checking out:
  • Little Slave Lost (& the prequel)
  • S.U.B. Mission Spa
  • Corporate Takeover (has an updated version out on hypnopics-collective, and is a little bit different from the others on the list)
• BloodWars - modern-day fantasy with vampires, demons, mind-control & magic. Mostly focuses on a player-dominant approach, in contrast to many of the other games on the list.
  
  
• Tales of the Drunken Cowboy - spacefaring sci-fi adventures, focusing on mind-control, bimbofication, corruption. A fantastic game, and apparently a sequel is in development. Highly recommended.
  
  
• Others: plenty of other great games in there, this isn't a comprehensive list of the "good" ones. MissAdventure, Sweet Satifsfaction, MicroMachines, Blanked, virtually everything by NandiBear...lots of others.

***
I'll note that my own old, unfinished game is part of the upload, which is strangely gratifying. I still have occasional ambitions to go back and finish up the narrative...

So coooool, thanks for the share !

 

[MoolaMoona1]

Games will not be added to this collection.​

If you have a game to share that is not uploaded here or elsewhere on F95, make the thread yourself, or make a request thread and share it there. Then, report it as game update so an Uploader (like me) can make the thread and reap all those sweet, sweet likes and reactions that you were too lazy to work for.

Enjoy.

So then what is the point of this thread?

 

[blubbat0r]

How nostalgic... A lot of games in there I haven't seen or thought about in a good decade or more.

 

[Konz83]

Does anybody know where to find the walkthrough for "A ghost story"? Thanks!

 

[Sunshine999]

What is that SQL tool being linked?

 

[Butttman]

I keep getting errors when I try to extract any of these part 1, 2, or 3 files. what am I doing wrong?

 

[Crow Armbrust]

THX

 

[watdapakisdis]

Buttman,
Are the 3 files in the same directory?
Not corrupted?
7zip?

Needed for rags

 

[Butttman]

Buttman,

Not corrupted?
7zip?

Everytime I try to unzip the first 2 i get an error telling me Its missing the next part, and then if I unzip the part 3 it just says " Data error : RAGS_Megathread_Games.7z " even if I try to unzip them all at the same time it still breaks and the unzipped file "RAGS_Megathread_Games.7z" is an empty file that cant be unzipped either.

That's a list and a half of games! It's darn impressive!

However, and I don't mean to downplay the fact that you've got a 116 game jamboree going on, but I believe that having the completed games as their own separate category would save a lot of fellas a lot of trouble.
Especially since you don't know what you're downloading in each individual part.

I agree. However, I was faced with a member having graciously shared this collection (although with games already on F95 in it, and sadly without dev names) as one huge bundle. It was either do it this way so we have them on site preserved, with some sort of order to them, or do an individual thread for each game, which I actually had considered for longer than a few seconds, before I had to slap myself back to some semblance of sanity. This is a living post, so it will evolve (slowly, but surely), into something more cohesive. Once we get a torrent of it up, then people can use that to download the games they want individually.

I don't see No Haven or Incarnasoul (I think this one might be unity though I forget) recently tried the Doll one but it was a much older version so thanks will try it out again to see if it is just as short or if they added more.

No Haven is on F95 in it's own thread. You can find it with the link I provided next to "Other Games" Incarnasoul wasn't included with the collection shared, or if it was, it was corrupted and I removed it. I had maybe 3 games that were corrupted (I don't mean Read-Only or incompatible, I mean corrupted, like it froze my shit up.)

So then what is the point of this thread?

This is so they're on-site, and the collection someone shared didn't go to waste, especially with how seldom RAGS games are uploaded here. So this is a one-off anomaly for the games category here on F95. We don't do collections for games like this, so future game shares should be one game at a time and have it's own thread, per usual.

 

[KaltesHerz]

the Lilith Device if I"m remember right will give you carpal tunnel, is that the one by dollmistress?

i may be getting them confused but its by far the biggest game in terms of size and completion but it's sooooooooo clicky it's painful

still a fun game though, LD and Cursed I put a lot of hours in back in the day

anonymous man was a really excellent developer but either lacked time, commitment, or attention span for his games

Everytime I try to unzip the first 2 i get an error telling me Its missing the next part, and then if I unzip the part 3 it just says " Data error : RAGS_Megathread_Games.7z " even if I try to unzip them all at the same time it still breaks and the unzipped file "RAGS_Megathread_Games.7z" is an empty file that cant be unzipped either.

Download all 3 parts first. Just keep them on your desktop or somewhere else in same folder (All 3 parts in the same folder, I mean), then just "extract to 'RAGS Games Megathread.7z'" on Part 1 only. It'll gather and extract the other 2 parts automatically. If you're having issues, download Winrar to do it. I think 7zip might have issues with parts. That, or just you do, lol. jk. But yeah, try that and it'll work. I just did it myself with the parts on the OP.
