Forced by AmneLeGrand3

 

A short scenario by Harem's author that includes the usual shenanigans in Stream of Consciousness Power Trip scenarios like complete lack of human logic, empathy, and usage of power regardless of any morality or ethics, but does not bring anything new to the table and ends up too soon without leaving too much to enjoy to any kind of possible demographic it might have.

Guys that mentally slaves his crush, a guy that possesses his mother and sees her naked body, it offers several ideas, but well, it ends them up all soon too, just like any other.


A few things to mention about this scenario is how it tries to create its own magic lore, setting up the action on Spain, and present magic "rocks" with different kinds of power, but all backgrounds are taken from real-life pictures and applied a posterized effect that doesn't look actually good (cartooning real-life pictures is usually a complicated process, after all), people told me that there was also a version with real-life photos of people, but I didn't see it anywhere and it probably isn't available either.

People who want a bit more of the whole madness of this kind of scenarios might check it out since it also has a few unintentionally memorable and pretty crazy lines, but people who want the scenario for its sexual appeal might end up dissatisfied since everything ends up so quickly, just like so many other recent scenarios. People who new to this kind of scenario with the ironic appeal should rather check Harem or other scenarios that have a lot more content instead.

DuelSisterFun by Thalcynnas

 


This is the last scenario of the original Thalcynnas scenario trilogy, again, everything that happens is pretty dream-like and surreal with illogical decisions and cryptic writing.

The plot is about Katrina dying and taking her sister to possess other people, at the end, they try to distract and possess Setsuna and find other people's bodies to have fun for the night.

This one has a bit more comedy a difference from the other two, the writing is not really something to take seriously but as the other two it ends up in 3 minutes so I can't recommend it, either way, no matter the appeal it could have had, it just ends before it begins, just skip it.



Jess New Life by Thalcynnas

 



Let me copy-paste my review of the previous scenario, done by the same author.

Just a quick, short stream of consciousness scenario with cryptic writing, illogical decisions from the characters, and an accidental dream-like atmosphere, but unlike that one who might be enjoyed by Harem fans, this one has Jess possessing adults and fondling her boobs. I wouldn't really recommend this scenario to anybody really, and it only has like 2 or 3 minutes of content.

This is bad, no further comment.

Electric Disaster by Thalcynnas

 


Just a quick, short stream of consciousness scenario that Harem fans might enjoy thanks to its ironic appeal. It has cryptic writing, illogical decisions from the characters, and an accidental dream-like atmosphere.

Basically, John gets access to an app (or something, I didn't understand well to be honest) that lets him possess people, he possesses Katrina first and then Allison, he then he tells her the truth and she tells him that for compensating they have to start dating each other, from now on Allison will let John possess her at times if she is in the mood and with an app option John can give partial control to Allison while she is possessing her.

Katrina and Jess were living with John for some reason I don't remember and once Allison moved with John Katrina was starting to get jealous, but nothing is developed from there, the scenario ends up in a placeholder, maybe for the best.

Absorb by drago625

 


Okay, when we will learn people? When will we learn? This scenario is 61 lines of code long, that's like 2 or 3 minutes of content at best.

This scenario was promoted as a test only, but as you can see, it was abandoned, and even so included in the scenario list for the frustration of all ST players, it's not even a successful test! It does have one error in-game and it is not even exported correctly! You have to add a ZIP extension to the blank file you get and create a story folder for the template rpy file, because it doesn't even have a structure.

God knows I have been patient, I have tried to be as fair and unbiased as possible with all scenarios, all of them, but even I have limits on my patience, and the more scenarios I find stuff like this WHERE THE AUTHOR DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER IN CONTINUING AFTER WRITING FOR 10 FUCKING MINUTES I get, really, really pissed off. One empty scenario? That was passable, two? that is bad, but this many? I just can't keep going with this project, because you know most people don't even give a single FUCK about this! I don't even care if your scenario is bad, just give me something! Some effort! Even Harem is better than this, it can appeal to some people, it is at least something! Something!

What does happen in the story? Well, the author says John's parents died and he has been struggling to keep up working and going to school, he even saved a girl once because he doesn't feel like living anymore, and then the author tells us to have fun with the story. Yikes.

One scene happens and after John accidentally absorbs a girl in the park he goes home and morphs into her. Yes, he doesn't think about how he totally murdered someone in the street despite being presented of being of good of heart, and the scenario just ends there in a bittersweet placeholder.

While I find the concept of absorption pretty interesting (absorption vore is one of my favorite fetishes) this scenario just doesn't have anything going for it, don't even bother.

My New Family by R0nnyA


Basically, just another Power Trip scenario in the vein of Harem, just with a lot less content. John is unhappy with his current family, Sandra didn't wake him up for school in time and Holly is distant, so when he gets the remote he changes his family to his own desire.

Depending on the choices he will make Holly his little servant sister and his mom, Sandra, either his girlfriend, sister, or close friend. People who appreciate morality on the side of the protagonist should probably skip this one, otherwise, you can check it out if you are into Mind Control and Incest, it will be either hot or plain creepy. Even then, is also pretty short, with only around 10 minutes of content.

This is the issue with most scenarios, all of them are not just incomplete, but also abandoned at their own very beginning, they create a setup and they just end, and I have tried to be as positive as possible about these stories in the past, I say, well, it is not a good story, but they offer good ideas, I try my best to think about someone who might fit the demographic the scenario is aiming for, but the truth is that checking stuff like this at the very end will be frustrating for a lot of readers, any kind of readers, even if you are the person who likes this kind of stories, you are just going to get teased and then left completely with your pants down! 

If you are going to write a scenario in the future, I would say work in giving either a complete story or at least... one hour of content? At least in that way, you will make sure that there will something for the people who decide to check your story. What are you saying? Publish something as short as this as a proof of concept? No, don't, we have enough of those already, and people end up abandoning those "proof of concepts" most of the time anyway! I am sure we can discuss the concept you want and the story with you in the forum or the Discord.

Now, there is just another little thing I can mention about this scenario, let's talk about the how-the-protagonist-gets-the-TF-device-trope!

So far in the community, we have seen:

A car dropped it by accident and I picked it up (Press Switch, Bodysuit 23)

Aliens gave it to me (Student Transfer Remote)

I found it in an old abandoned old place (Student Transfer Magic Book from Kat's house, PDA device from a library or so, I think)

There is also other stuff like magical events in Freaky Friday and stores that when you try to come back do not exist anymore. In this case, we have a variant, John gets the remote thanks to an old guy who offered him "a universal remote that does whatever he needed" but I feel that's the worst variation of the trope, why somebody would give a remote like that to a stranger? Just because they are the protagonist? Anyhow, for fetish and sexual-focused stories, it does the trick, but for more serious stories, I think is something you might want to take into account if you are going to write them.

Inheritance by drago625

 


Just another short, abandoned scenario with around 10 minutes of content only. Paul discovers that he can body swap with people if he thinks about them hard enough. There are several routes open where he swaps with a princess of another nation, his friend's wife, his friend, and a pregnant neighbor.

Things happen pretty fast and characters accept things quickly, in the friends' wife's route the wife tells her if they could swap back since she always wished to be someone else, but Paul disagrees. 

"Oh did you just swap with me, oh well at least you are my husband's friend oh okay oh yeah I was having sex with him so you are overwhelmed for having your first time as a woman yeah sure don't tell my husband by now he is your husband whatever."

As I said before, logic is a bit loose in most scenarios, or sometimes, very loose, but as I said before even if I find it dumb the truth is that some people just want to go to the point of the swaps, be fast since the fetish has also a sexual appeal, there are people who will like this approach "directly to the point", just a quick realization without too much drama or trauma, so I don't feel there is a point in criticizing it, just mention it to let people choose what they are going to do with it.

Most routes end up in a placeholder right away, the neighbor route was going to continue in Paul giving birth in that other body which I found interesting, but it ends up just right after. Since there are very few ideas to showcase here and the content is very short, I can also say that you can skip this one as well, there is nothing else I can comment on here because simply isn't there anything to comment on.

It has one interesting idea, it finishes soon, things happen too quickly, characters accept things too fast, that's it, what you see is what you get.

Unexpected Sandra by tonal815

 


Just another short, abandoned scenario that ends too soon. Sandra finds the remote in the living room and accidentally use the "Astral Projection" function that lets her become a ghost and possess other people. 

In one route she wanders around and ends up possession either Tori or Vanessa, if it is Tori, she talks with Vanessa and tells her the truth (for some reason), and asks her to go and see her in school time so she can believe her so they can both figure out the remote. You end up asking yourself, why Vanessa? Why not John? Why a kid she barely knows? Well, it finished in 10 minutes, so who cares.

The other route proposes an interesting idea, Sandra sees Holly enter a home by the kitchen and she sees her enter again through the living room, which makes her wonder why there are two Hollys and if there is someone impersonating her. It would be interesting to find out the identity of someone who might have used the remote, but the execution is just dumb. Why would the remote be there? If it was John, why would he leave it? Why was he, Holly? Why doesn't Sandra use the remote to transform them back? Why doesn't she confront that person since time might be at stake?

Logic is a bit loose like many scenarios, and overall it just doesn't have any substantial content. Some possession fans might, maybe, probably, would like, a glimpse of the possession content here, but for most of the people I can say you can totally skip it, it just has an introduction and it is abandoned.

Did you want a bigger review? Well, that's all there is, just 10 minutes of gameplay, and none of the ideas it proposes stand out, so, that's it, nothing else to say here, the review is over.

Cross the Line by simmitar004

 

Cross the Line reads like a project of a teenager who wanted to make his own story inside the game, all characters had their names changed to very specific ones, the story is on the line of stream of consciousness and overall the writing is almost on par with Harem, just without any of the lewd parts.

The story presents Claus, now named Derek, and his three friends, Eric and John (all have different names here but I forgot them), who find one day an unconscious girl by a trash can, after Claus checks her fever (somehow, we don't know), the girl wakes up and tells them that they are the ones who can fight against "it" and all of them faint right in the spot.

After being taken care of by the paramedics to the school's nursery (for some reason) each one of the guys discovers that all have gotten new "super powers", John can use astral projection and possess people, Eric can shapeshift and Claus can body swap, and the player is given to follow each one of them in three different routes.

Most events are rather silly and almost oniric, Michelle gets mad when she sees Claus in the garden, saying all guys are the same and that they like stalk girls, Claus accidentally uses his powers, and Michelle, now in Claus' body decides to take "revenge" against guys with her new "powerful body".

The plot seems was going to take an adventure and mystery-focused direction with the three guys trying to investigate a ghost in an old building after John had spotted them in one of his astral trips, and the scenario pretty much ends there.

Harem fans might like this but at a difference from that scenario in all its bizarreness, this one is pretty short and doesn't have too many memorable lines so it doesn't offer too much ironic appeal, either way, it is just a failed piece writing that ends too soon. Inoffensive, quick, bad, nothing else. You can skip it without any remorse.

Chasing Setsuna by Troopage and CoreX

Chasing Setsuna has proposed so far the most interesting and intricate ideas for a drama that I have seen in the community, and its concept a lot holds the potential for an awesome story in itself.

What is the plot about? Nemuri dies for unknown reasons, and because of a mistake made by Setsuna while trying to send him to the eternal realm, Nemuri ends up as a ghost and decides to escape, since he wants to continue living, but Setsuna, as told by him in his life as a priest, can't let him wander around like a lost soul.

Why so? Well, in this story ghosts end up losing everything that they had as humans in their past life, their own personality, and everything that made them themselves alive beings, and due to their desire of living, they end up possessing people and causing mischief. Nemuri himself ends up possessing a girl by accident and starts liking it, then, due to his increasing nature as a ghost, he starts to like it more and goes on a rampage looking to possess more girls as he pleases.

After possessing a girl while trying to hide his aura from Setsuna, his own obsessions as a ghost turn to Setsuna, which he decides will be the best body for him to possess. This just opens the possibilities for an amazing drama and an engaging story, the implications for Setsuna are either to take her father, already unrecognizable from what she knew, back to the spirit realm or lose her body and life in the process.

The scenario ends pretty shortly, but the idea is simply amazing, Setsuna would be trying to chase Nemuri with the help of her friend, half spirit half-human, Izuna, who has a contract attached to her, and Nemuri would try to weaken her mental state controlling people close to her so he can find a chance to take over her body. This would allow giving a lot of tension to the story.

It is overall, two people who love each other, or that at least loved each other before, Father and Daughter, try to win a chase one over the other. In this case, we are sharing the perspective of the antagonist, which allows the audience to see some fetish focused action like MtF possession and where Nemuri gets the advantage of the bodies of who possesses, there is also some mind control since all the thoughts he has and actions he does while possessing others are felt like their own by the possessed when he gets out.

While it sounds like Setsuna doesn't stand a chance due to her lack of experience as a priestess, her friend, Izuna, is shown as a powerful being who carries a sword that can kill any ghosts and aberrations without any difficulty, and overall her character is given a mysterious aura; as I have said before, she is a half spirit half-human who was taken care of by Nemuri as a kid and now, respects him a lot, because of that, she is ready to keep Setsuna away to help Nemuri live his new life, nevertheless, due to her contract, if she is ordered by Setsuna, she has to take care of Nemuri; that just adds another layer to the whole picture of things, touching topics like loyalty, friendship, and some High Fantasy since Izuna is part of the spirit world.

Some people would say that this version of Nemuri takes too many liberties by making him the same as a horny teenager, but I think this depiction is quite fair with his nature as a lost soul. Nemuri going from a respected priest to lustful ghost plants a lot of questions and implications for this character, a complete mind degradation so to say. In the end, he could become an evil being with his plan of taking over Setsuna and become the new priestess of Izuna. Izuna as a half-spirit character that has to take both sides between the father and the daughter is interesting as well because that morally ambiguous, completely loyal, and skilled character interpretation, fits her a lot.

Sadly, this scenario was put on hiatus in very early stages, and even when it hasn't been totally canceled the last update was done 3 years ago, and this time it hurts a lot because the story and the plot it's just so good. It has several leads and has a big fetishistic appeal, yes, it's true, a lot of the possessions are used just to make you feel horny, but the story in itself can offer a lot for those who want some great drama, if you do not take it that seriously and let the scenes that are only for sexual appeal be themselves, you will enjoy this scenario, it really seems that it can offer the best of worlds, but the rest of the story is yet to be seen.

Overall, in the state it is now, I can recommend it if you want some MtF Possession action (sexually-focused) as well a bit of mind control, but I can also recommend it if you want to check out more about the whole concept by itself, which is sincerely awesome, even when not a fully-fledged story. (it ends just as it starts and plants the plot) it's a good concept for a compelling story.
