Sonia and the Hypnotic City

(Reviewed with the Unrated patch) This game delivers pretty much exactly what it says on the tin - the hypnosis suggestions accumulating were a nice gimmick, although they'd be much better if each was useful more than once! Even so, quite fun for exploring this particular fetish, which it hits very hard. Unfortunately, this is a "game" only in the thinnest sense. You are always led by the hand to the next destination, and in fact forbidden from going anywhere else. You can't even go to the right destination by the wrong route (there's a recurring event on the 2nd floor of the inn, but you can't actually go up the stairs, you have to go to your room and then "remember" to go upstairs). Sometimes it saves you the bother by teleporting you instead, and it might as well. Battles can be skipped after losing. There is text-skip and auto-text features, and the shift key removes the dialogue box (not documented). Basically it's a bit of fluff. Translation is very good.
