Corruption is not just a bar on the screen here, it feels like a mood that slowly crawls under your skin while you click “next room” again like a degenerate. Forbidden Dungeon throws you into a fantasy world that pretends to care about saving kingdoms and slaying monsters, but everyone knows why you’re actually there. You start with these “heroes” who look serious for about five seconds, then the game starts stripping them, shoving them into traps with tentacles and cursed toys, and suddenly every combat choice is also a sex choice. You’re staring at a turn-based fight, thinking about buffs and debuffs, but also thinking “ok if she loses here, how badly is the dungeon going to fuck her this time?” Then you lose on purpose. Or you tell yourself it was a mistake. Sure.

What I like is how the dungeon feels hungry. Rooms are not just “fight skeletons, get loot”. You open a door, get a weird altar with a glowing toy on it, and you have that awful nice feeling like when you know you shouldn’t click “accept” but you do anyway. Take the blessing, your stats go up, your “purity” goes down, next encounter she is more sensitive, more aroused in the art, more easy to push over the edge. At start I was trying to play “correct” like it is some hardcore roguelike. After a few runs I was basically feeding my party to every corrupted slime just to unlock new scenes. There is that one event with the breeding pit where you think “ok, this is just some background lore thing”, then suddenly your character is on all fours, tentacles holding them open, multiple penetration from things that do not even have a name, and you are sitting there like, yeah, this is fine. Also the little text line that casually mentions the chance of pregnancy like it’s just another status effect, that got me. It is not like a soft romance thing, it feels more like the dungeon is marking them, making sure they stay its toys forever.

The parody bits are funny in a really trashy way. If you know those edgy solo-leveling memes or you played Darkest Dungeon, you will recognize some scenes twisted into horny nonsense. A “heroic” speech turns into a submissive pledge to serve the dungeon, that kind of thing. It keeps trying to pretend there is a noble path, but the more you progress, the more the skills, gear and even the AI-generated CG push you toward naked, chained, displayed in front of monsters. Exhibition stuff hits hard here because the game keeps throwing you into situations where the character should be ashamed, and the UI pops up like “Gain +10% damage if you let them watch.” Grind a bit, unlock another protagonist, and suddenly the same corridors feel different because you know exactly which trap will drag them into that familiar tentacle nest. I really wish the game let me corrupt the town hub more, like turn the whole support cast into willing dungeon slaves or something, but I guess that’s my brain asking for DLC already. Anyway, if you like your runs to end with your party fully broken in some dark corner of the map, soaked, pregnant, and still going back in because loot, then yeah, this dungeon knows exactly what kind of player you are.

This one starts almost too sweet. Sunny girl, big smile, good news in her pocket, suitcase ready for a romantic island trip with her shiny perfect fiancé. Happy, normal, Instagram kind of life. And you just know in your gut the game is watching that happiness like a hungry wolf. The first time I played I honestly thought it was going to stay light, like a naughty honeymoon teaser, some playful masturbation scene before the flight, a bit of oral, something soft. Then you hit that first serious choice, the one where she decides who she tells the news to, how honest she is, if she keeps that little secret warm in her belly or opens it up to someone who really should not know. From there it stops being soft. It turns into this slow, sticky slide from “good girl with a ring” into “how far can you push her before she breaks or likes it too much”.

What I liked most is how the game does not scream “corruption route” in your face, it kind of just nudges. A small bit of teasing here, letting her flirt too long there, accepting a drink she should refuse, letting a hand stay on her thigh when you know exactly where this shit is going. You tell yourself she is just stressed, she is just horny because of the pregnancy hormones, she just needs to masturbate to relax. Then she is on her knees, doing oral to the wrong man, and you are like, hm, that escalated but also I kinda built this, no? Sometimes the scenes feel like you are watching a car crash in slow motion and still you press “continue”. There is a straight path where she stays loyal, sure, but the game clearly wants you to wander into cheating and ntr and see how much you can humiliate the poor fiancé without him even knowing. One ending had her walking down the aisle smiling while you know damn well the baby inside is not his. Another run I went full trash, pushing every nasty choice: unprotected, creampie, let it happen again, open her up to anal once she stops resisting so much. That ending felt less like romance and more like a porn studio contract written in her soul.

Not everything hits perfect. Sometimes the pacing between emotional scenes and sex feels a bit rushed, like one minute she is crying about her future, next minute her ass is getting worked and the game expects you to feel both guilty and horny at same time. It sort of works, but also not really, and I still keep thinking about this one tiny thing: one side character keeps using the same little pet name for her in two different routes and it drove me nuts for no reason. The animations do a lot of heavy lifting though; when her face shifts from hesitation to that “fuck, I like this too much” look during a risky vaginal creampie, it hits harder than any fancy dialogue. On corruption-focused routes, watching her go from shy touches during solo masturbation to actively guiding someone back inside her after they already pulled out is... yeah. Nasty in the best way. The multiple endings feel like different flavors of wrong: quiet, soft corruption where she pretends everything is fine, totally broken toy where she is basically a pregnancy machine, semi-wholesome where she stays true and still gets dicked properly anyway. The game is cruel, then suddenly romantic, then filthy again, and it never really decides what it wants to be. Which somehow makes it feel more alive than half the polished porn games on Nutaku or F95. It’s messy, a bit mean, kinda beautiful, and absolutely not something you “play responsibly”.

Dragons, horny idiots, and way too many bad decisions, that’s kinda the tone here. You start out in this messy fantasy world where everyone either wants to stab you, fuck you, or make you solve some weird little puzzle before they tell you where the next dragon clue is. The game lets you pick who you are right away: guy, girl, or futa, and it actually matters because people react to you a bit different, and some scenes just hit different when you’re a shy virgin futa trying to act cool in front of a monster girl with more confidence than common sense. It’s not subtle. One moment you’re trying to think through a puzzle with glowing runes and pattern matching, next moment, you click the “wrong” symbol and suddenly you’re on your knees in first person, mouth full, and the camera just stays there a little too long while the animation loops. In a good way. Mostly.

The “visual novel plus sandbox” thing is a strange mix that kinda works and kinda annoys me. You’ve got this hub where you wander around to find your companions, poke at side quests, and sometimes you just want to jump directly into the next romance scene, but no, the game makes you trot across the area, poke some shiny object, do a small puzzle, listen to a bit of lore about dragons, then, boom, here’s the lesbian scene you were actually waiting for. There’s a moment where my female MC finally hooked up with this monster girl with claws and soft voice, and the build up was cute as hell, all tension and “is this really happening,” then it cuts to animated vaginal and oral, lots of wet sounds, POV angles that actually show what’s going on instead of hiding everything behind a single static shot. I liked that the creampie isn’t just a flash, it lingers, drips, the camera actually respects that people want to stare. But the accessibility side is honestly rough sometimes. The text box has decent font size, but there’s no real text-to-speech, no configurable high contrast mode, and some of the puzzle highlight colors blend into the background like it’s 2010 again. I had to squint more than once, and I’m already using Windows magnifier because devs keep pretending everyone sees fine. Keyboard navigation is half-baked too: you can tab through some choices, but not all, and some mini-games want mouse precision without any assist options. Makes me want to yell at my monitor a bit.

Still, the character stuff sticks with me. There’s this companion quest where my futa MC decided not to romance the guy, just help him deal with his dragon-related trauma, and the game actually respected that. No forced sex, no “secret” romance flag, just quiet scenes and then later I went for the soft, clingy romance with a female character instead, and that route spiraled into pregnancy talk that did not feel like an afterthought. Watching the belly show up later in a scene while she rides you, full on animated, is weirdly intimate and also kinda filthy, in a good way, because the story mentioned it earlier so it doesn’t appear out of nowhere. There are also handjob scenes where the camera goes very close to fingers and shaft, very deliberate strokes, cum shots that actually match the motion instead of the usual lazy splash. It’s horny, sure, but sometimes it slows down and lets the romance breathe, and then ruins the mood again by tossing in a puzzle with tiny icons that are absolute hell if you’re playing on a trackpad. I kept thinking “why is there no option to simplify this for people with shaky hands” while my character was getting railed from behind in another scene ten minutes later. Also, whoever mapped the skip and auto-advance buttons clearly never used a screen reader, because the clickable zones are tiny, and I almost clicked past a really good scene with a futa-on-futa blowjob followed by a messy double creampie that honestly deserved its own replay gallery filter. But no, you just scroll and scroll and scroll. Not fixing that, I guess.

Michael starts out like that dude in every village who swears nothing ever happens there, and somehow the game actually sells that boredom. You click through a couple of sleepy days, fields, mud, stupid chores, that tiny church everyone pretends to respect, and then suddenly your childhood friend Maria is looking at you in a way that is not “we used to eat berries together.” It’s still kind of innocent at first, lots of teasing, light touches, super awkward flirting that feels a bit too real. The game lets you sit in that tension. Slow burn. You get hand-holding, shy hugs, those moments where you both lean in and pull back, then lean in again. And yeah, obviously it doesn’t stay innocent, this is not Sunday school. When the first blowjob scene finally hits, it feels like both of them are about to explode from nerves, not just lust. She fumbles a bit, you can see the little animated hesitation, then she gets into it, drool, gag, eye contact, the whole thing. The camera gets close enough that you kinda forget there’s a “plot” and then suddenly they’re giggling about it afterward like idiots and it goes back to being cute. It’s weirdly sweet for a game that lets you fuck this many people.

The medieval adventure part sneaks up on you like a drunk bard. One moment you’re experimenting with Maria under a tree, her tits spilling out while she rides you with that “I might break if I go harder” pace, and the next you’re getting pulled into some quest nonsense at the edge of the kingdom. The tone keeps swinging between wholesome romance and “ok I just came on three different girls today.” You go from protecting a caravan to getting dragged into a tavern room where a busty barmaid gives you a messy titfuck while another girl kneels between your legs, taking turns on your cock like they practiced this. There’s this one scene in a cramped wagon on a rainy night, your party half-asleep, and you end up slowly fingering Maria under a blanket while she tries not to moan, and it’s more intimate than the full-on group sex tent scene that happens later. That tent scene, by the way, is absolutely stupid in the best way: naked bodies everywhere, some soft interracial combo with a dark-skinned warrior girl grinding on your face while you fuck Maria from behind, anal in one corner, someone getting creampied in another, and the game treats it almost like a messed-up campfire story. People joke, someone cracks a line about “party composition,” and you’re there thinking, yeah, this is what min-maxing charisma was secretly about. The pregnancy hints slide in slowly too, first as light jokes, then as serious “what if” lines during pillow talk, then in a scene where you cum inside Maria and the camera just lingers a bit too long on her hand on her belly. It’s romantic. It’s trashy. It absolutely can’t decide. Which is kind of why it works.
