Good to know RE: the text color mistake - I have a doc of all the errors I’ve caught, but updating the game file seems to notify every follower, so I’m holding off until I either have a long list of corrections or have a more significant update ready.
Great job finding all of the endings! Dillon’s thrall ending was the first one I wrote, and Dillon’s freedom ending was the last - they’re also my favorite endings. I just really enjoyed writing Dillon, which I didn’t expect when I initially started working on him. Pretty sure he’s got the most dialogue, too.
Though everyone was a lot of fun to flesh out, even Throcky, who is an absolute, irredeemable piece of shit. I put a lot of effort into each of the boys and tried my best to make them feel distinct, down to their brand of hypnosis and relationship with Jarby.
It’s probably unusual for a porn game to feature a protagonist who’s super not into their situation, but the horror and revulsion and panic from Four’s perspective is what’s most hot for me, so sex scenes were saved for the thrall endings where Four is made to feel lust for Jarby and the other boys.
As a result, I can’t see (non-hypnotized) Four wanting to do anything sexual with Jarby, even if the player might, but an ending focusing more on Jarby would be nice. You might’ve seen it already, I have an idea for at least one more ending, and it would mainly involve Jarby and an entity related to the statuette in the safe. Even that ending would be “bittersweet,” though!
The ✧ before each link was pretty easy to do! You’d just add this in the CSS:
Thanks very much for playing! Glad to hear that the character writing was a highlight - I put a lot of effort into making the thralls seem distinct and interesting!
I did want to include an ending where multiple thralls are freed (a possible best ending), but at 12 endings already I realized I needed to wrap things up. At some point, I want to go back and include an ending where you make a pact with the demon depicted by the statuette and take control, but even that would be at a cost. Even the "good" endings have to be imperfect!
Thanks so much for playing, and glad to hear you enjoyed the game!! :)
I'd like to go back and add more endings, but I haven't had as much time and energy lately since I've been focusing on my career. Hopefully I can get back to working on fun stuff soon!
It would be technically possible to add a Spanish translation, but at 55k words that would essentially be the same as translating a short novel, and my Spanish is extremely poor. Even if I found a willing translator, integrating the translations into the game (or even making a separate version) would take a lot of time, unfortunately.
Very sweet of you to say I should add a donation option! Maybe I'll get around to making a Ko-fi or something one of these days lol
Again, thanks for playing and taking the time to leave a comment! Very much appreciated!
Thanks for playing! It would be such a different experience if Four woke up and was like "Yeah, this is actually fine, pass me some more weight gain shake" lol. He gets there in Adam's thrall ending, at least!
Thanks for playing! I joked to some friends a while back that Enthralled 2 would feature Jarby as the protag, but I don't see myself continuing the story in that way lol
I do want to make a game where the player is the one with all the control, however!
Thank you, that's very kind of you to say! Glad you enjoyed the game overall, even if it made you feel depressed lol
Rocky and Adam are both from a story I wrote years ago, if you're curious to see how it all started for them! They're the only two characters (besides Jarby) that aren't new
Are you referring to the app? I didn't know itch.io had one until just now. I looked into downloading it for troubleshooting, but it's not available for my device.
What I've done on my end is uploaded another file (enthralled1.1.2.html), made it the primary file, and gave it the same settings as the last file. I'm not sure why it wouldn't be installable. Do you need the older file?
Alas, Three's fate was pretty much sealed many hundreds of pounds ago 😔 It's unlikely, but there are two endings where he could be rescued in the future, if things go extremely well!
Thank you for playing! I definitely get where you're coming from - the overall tone is fairly bleak, and that's not often what people seek out in a porn game. Though there are certainly endings where you can find happiness, even if that happiness comes at a cost.
And beyond the smuttiness, I wanted to write a story with horror and tension - I can't help but take "This is probably the darkest Hypnosis can go" as a compliment lol
Anyways, I'm glad you were still able to enjoy the game! Thanks again for taking the time to play it and provide your thoughts.
Great job finding all of the endings, and thank you for playing! ❤️
It was intentional that even the better endings are flawed - either you're giving something up or there's more difficulty to come. It's a horny game, but not a happy game lol
I'd like to go back and add some additional endings in the future, including one where you can take control. Though even an ending like that won't be perfect!
Thank you so much! I'm also not sure if reviews show up on this page, but I read through it and really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
You can endear yourself to Webster, Adam, Dillon, and Rocky - basically all of the thralls that can hold a conversation. You can tell they like you enough to intervene when they're more positive towards you in the conversation "root" page, or when you approach or leave. If you're having trouble getting there, if you say one or two positively received things to a thrall and then choose to wait with them, that'll make them like you enough to speak up. Let me know if you have any other issues!
Not at this time - it's a cameo of my friend Xill's demon character, as a way of thanking him for testing out the game and giving feedback. I do have an idea for an ending involving the statue and demonic possession, so I might add that later on.
Yep, there are a few endings where you escape. You'll need help from one of the thralls, but they need something from you first. Try getting past Rocky in the bedroom, if you haven't already.
This site doesn't allow for spoiler tags in comments, so I have to be cryptic lol
