2D Game Anal Sex Corruption Furry Gay Humiliation Male Protagonist Mind Control Rape RPG Sex Toys Turn Based Combat

In the decaying ruins of Midnight City, danger and opportunity lurk in every shadow, beneath every flickering neon light. For Mezz, a cocky and capable crimefighter, a new chance at both has just opened up: A dusty data disc that may be a ticket to the Towers, the gleaming, guarded enclave of the elites. But getting his paws on it may take longer than expected, as the trail leads him straight to the dark, filthy heart of Midnight City: The Gutter.

v1.0.7 General Fixes: -Mezz will now be visible in gallery replay scenes with map sections v1.0.6 Tweaks: -Upgraded lighting engine -Tweaked datacrystal handling -Added Load option to in-game menu v1.0.5 -The glory hole addiction timer will no longer keep running during capture scenes in the alleys, and will reset after the scenes finish. -Added Eiga-xx to credits for Japanese translation work. v1.0.4 General Fixes: -Playing the tunnel scene from the gallery part of the way through, exiting via the locker and then immediately playing it again would result in a number of things being in the wrong state because switches and variables were not reset. Switches and variables are now reset on exiting via the locker, and the scene should play through normally on restarting it. -The "2" on the glory hole oxygen gauge is now at the bottom corner of the O, not the top. v1.0.3 The third and final content pack is finally on Itch! As I said in a previous post, this finally completes GutterTrash, bringing it to 1.0.3. If you missed the previous post, this pack adds a blowjob mini-game as a second optional job in the plaza, as well as a scene gallery at the main menu. The gallery can be unlocked normally by reaching each scene, or by copying over the Gallery.js file in the "Gallery Unlock" folder to www\js\plugins. And as always, if you'd like to skip right to the new content, a starter save has been included in "StarterSave". Just copy both files there to www\save (you will need to create this folder if it doesn't exist). It's a strange feeling hitting 1.0. Accomplishment at going up and down one mountain, trepidation as I look at the next, waiting there for me. But despite the best efforts of the rock I call a brain to the contrary, I do seem to be learning as I go, and there is excitement there too. There's still a LOT I want to explore with these characters and this setting. Looking up the dates for the new copy on the main page, I've discovered it's been a little over TWO YEARS since I first announced work on GutterTrash. It certainly doesn't feel that long. Details will have to wait a bit though. I'll be monitoring this release for further bug fix needs for about a week, then moving ahead with Eiga on the Japanese translation (I'll patch AFTER too obviously, I'm just hoping to catch the majority before then). I'll also be working on finishing the gallery for the first game: the programming is fairly straight-forward, but I wanted to create a few new bits of art for it, so getting that finished will probably keep me busy for about two weeks out. All of that to say, roughly speaking, I MAY be getting into talking plans and deadlines for Chapter 3 in about two weeks, but that's only a rough date. It will be happening soon though; I'm VERY grateful the reception to these packs has been warm enough to make them possible, but I definitely need to finally get started on the next full game before too much longer. In the meantime, thank you all once again. GT may seem small compared to a lot of games, but for one person working alone, it really did feel like a mountain, something I had to be careful to never think about in totality for too long at any given moment. And now it's done, because you all voted, with you money and in some cases your time to make it so. Hard work is essential for a project like this, but all the hard work in the world is useless if no one cares. You cared. v1.0.1 Third Content Pack Complete! Both ahead of, and behind schedule! The third and last content pack for GT is finally ready! This pack adds the long-requested gallery feature: just choose it on the title screen. Scenes can be unlocked by reaching them, or by copying over the gallery unlock file included to the proper folder. More importantly, it also adds a second job to the plaza! For those who want to head in blind, you can get the new version here (Updated to 1.0.1). Use the included starter save, or any save right before meeting Mahir for the first time, then head over to the strip club and talk to the bartender. I won't spoil anything. For those who want to know ahead of time though, keep scrolling. Including new music, new, very fun sounds thanks to OpenNSFWSP sound pack, and a bunch of new art assets, along with a few other extras here and there (be sure to try to play through Entertainment District 1 after you lose all three times!). For the sake of programming complexity/my sanity, you are locked to one job once you do the first scene, so keep that in mind: you can't bounce between them. And with the completion of this pack, GutterTrash is now, officially, at 1.0.0! I'll be getting into the third game before TOO long here, but there's still a few fiddly bits first; getting a gallery into the first game for one thing. But in the meantime, enjoy, and as always, let me know what bugs you find. v0.7.2 -The center path, at last! A new area to explore, and potential "easy" "shortcut", though knowing how things turn out for Mezz, maybe not so much. -Mahir's bad end, when Mezz loses to him, is now fully fleshed out! -A new outfit! -A new mini-game/gameplay loop -New scenes! 4 new scenes, 4 mini scenes, 6 unique CG, and 28 new images overall. v0.6.2 N/A 0.5.6 -Fixed the "fix" for the plaza. After completing the first of Mahir's "jobs," the player has to talk to him before before being able to leave the plaza. Jobs 2 and 3 don't require this. "Fixing" this broke other things, as the interaction with Mahir sets several flags. Hopefully this is resolved now. 0.5.5 -Fixed bug preventing player from leaving plaza after completing job for Mahir...again. This time for sure! 0.5.4 -Fixed porn shop job bug where using stairs to trigger scene wasn't triggering the correct switch to allow Mezz to leave the plaza. -Fixed collision bugs in hub, Ent. Dist. I -Fixed typo in Raspy Voice scene. -Redid alignment on chairs in basement party to tidy things up a bit. -Added to kitsune dialog in harem to account for different outfits -Clarified Satin's text-entry box in his quest. 0.5.3 -Added text file describing DataCrystal system. -Fixed porn store clerk getting stuck on other npcs when he comes to check on you. -Simply talking to the porn store clerk no longer allows you to leave the plaza: you actually have to do the work. -Fixed typo in battlesex. 0.5.2 -Increased save slots to 30. 0.5.1 -Secret hamburger in Haven now actually gives you a hamburger. -Fixed typo in lore computer entry. -In fight with two Strikers, defeating one while it's wound-up shouldn't freeze the other now. -Player can no longer interact with anklet Kitsune while running from hyenas, which caused various bugs. -"Should I fight him" scene no longer triggered outside Mahir's if player has fought him and obtained charm. -Added a patch plugin to address a weird render glitch effecting systems with powerful graphics cards and high-refresh-rate monitors. -The fridge in the Abandoned Bar can no longer be moved while standing beside it, only below, avoiding troublesome collision and movement issues. -Dazzle Blast is now gated from the final boss fight, and will be...artfully removed before the player reaches it. -When Mezz is captured while sneaking in Entertainment District I and stripped after scene, the scripting now removes, and gives back, the bunny suit as well. -Fixed "Beg", "Flatter" and "Serve" skills sticking around if Mezz loses battle with certain timing. Will keep an eye out for other stray skills and statuses not being reset correctly. v0.5.0 Initial Release

Probably one of my favourite NSFW games out there. Great art, amazing writing, great enviromental design. If you're at all intrested, it's definitely a must play. Was so good it got me to actually buy the thing instead of just pirating.

Quick Overview If you're into gay furry stuff, hypno, masochism, and degradation there's a lot to love. Writing is a cut above a lot of other stuff in the same genre, really elevates a lot of the scenes. Was initially skeptical of the art style, but it really grew on me. Overly Long Diatribe One thing that I find to be a stumbling block for the design of these sorts of games, where the fail-states are the different erotic scenes that one plays the game to see, is that the player is mechanically disincentivized from seeing those scenes. Games generally give you ways to avoid losing them, and players who play optimally will avoid these fail states with relative ease. This causes dissonance since, y'know, I'm playing these games in no small part to get off. This leads to a very silly, very game-y play style, in which one loses on purpose once, then goes through optimally to see new content, then loses on purpose again. This is annoying for a few reasons. It makes a lot of the content feel redundant (you'll need to play through several times to see everything) and it punishes optimal play (you miss out on the stuff you're there to see). An example of where this is really egregious is the FNAF-like games on here, where you basically have to sit and do nothing at the start of every level to see the pornography that you downloaded the game for. Cruel Serenade: Gutter Trash resolves this in a really elegant way by having the arc of the game be the temptation of your character towards the consequences for sub-optimal play (getting fucked), making the player's temptation to fail purposefully mesh with the character's. This is not unique to CR:GT , what elevates it further is that the game is allowed to continue, even after set backs or failures. Rather than being shown a black screen with BAD END on it after a failure (at least usually), you generally are allowed to continue, as the player character is increasingly degraded by the failures in a way that recontextualizes everything that comes after. This makes losing a fight or needing to give up on an encounter less of a death sentence, and makes the player more likely to actually keep trying after a setback, rather than just reloading a save for a perfect run. This all serves to give you a chance to actually be degraded, which if you're playing a game like this, you're presumably in to. To have your will as a player ground down over several attempts results in, rather than dissonance between mechanics and the player's desire to get off, creates a beautiful consonance between them. This is a lot more than I ever intended to write about a game about getting violated by hyenas, and I'm not totally sure how much sense it makes, but I found this game to be a lot better on a design level than a lot of others that function in a fundamentally similar way.

My only gripe is that the game isn't longer, there is a few moments where the game can be luck based for your progression which can be annoying but not awful since you can save anywhere, there's multiple routes that you can miss in the game as well so replaying the game is actually worth your time, this developer has some great great ideas here and I want to see more.

I love this game. It's a really well balanced RPG that's a ton of fun to play!! The art and game play mechanics just keep getting better and better with each update. I would say the story is mainly for gay furry submissives, but the sound/animations of our Bunny fighting back are also quite satisfying. I happily paid $10 to support this creator. Especially since the first game in the series is free!!

A great game for anyone who likes furry or hypnosis themes. Replayed a game a few times to see all of the scenes. There is decent amount of content but I see why for some people that might not be enough. Still there are a couple big content updates that should add more scenes. Lastly I really liked the quality of some scenes in the first half of the game. I'd say it's a 4/5 game but it gets an additional point from me because it was the first game to successfully hypnotize me.

JaegarXY 2023-11-26 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

The mechanics of the game, as with the first installment, enhance the erotic aspects rather than slow them down. Very degradationist/ Mind Control/ corruption themed. Good replayability when new updates drop or just for fun.

Remmyk 2023-11-10 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

This is finally a furry game I love and I hope it makes it to the end! I love where its at and going and hope this project makes it to the end! The story is very fun and the different side stuff you are able to do it also fantastic in my eyes especially making the porn! Please keep up the good work!

SillyToastedBread 2023-10-16 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Good writing, decent gameplay, average rpgmaker porn game tho kinda generic in that front, I liked it, M/M only, has got some story going on, 5 star because you can't be picky with porn games and the kinky stuff in it is fun

I say this after having dropped the game at the very beginning. Maybe it's just me but I'm tired of RPGs wasting your time on purpose, doing fetch quests and overall just forcing you to grind for no reason other than... I don't know, waste my time? First map, go pick up an item, bring it to a guy, leave map. The map is that of a city, pretty big and the fetch quest requires you to go into an alley with no shortcuts because of course it does. Then the second map... is the same map! What you don't want to do the same thing again? Too bad. Then you exit the map AGAIN and go look for the data disk in the description. You end up in a scrapyard of sorts, hyena gang ambushes you, scripted fight, alright. Then you explore... and the enemy chase you down with your same speed ensuring they will catch up to you the second they spot you, since they chase you with perfect accuracy and matching your speed. Now, that wouldn't be too bad... except the escape option is disabled. You're forced to fight every single enemy you encounter. And the combat is basically a loop of "use skill until mp runs out, concentrate, repeat until fight is over". And this is where I dropped it: if a game cannot respect my time from the beginning then I can't expect it to respect my time afterwards. If the creator is reading this please stop with this idiotic gameplay choices: tired of western games wasting my time with tedious activities just so maybe I can see something interesting later. Either cut down the tedium or make the tedium fun.

Golden Twink 2023-07-21 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Honestly found this game in the series to be quite lack luster in terms of content. Half of the game isn't even implemented with a pop up saying "only so-so path is implemented" leaving a feeling that you're just playing some sort of visual novel without any choices instead of an RPG game, especially an RPG Maker game. The fights are a lot more improved compared to the previous installment and most other adult fighting games where sex doesn't always result in an end game screen. Some of the fights still do which still leaves that bitter taste in your mouth causing you to backtrack a ton if you're not saving often. Overall though, I wouldn't really recommend it. Most of the scenes are very lackluster compared to previous along with some very infuriating gameplay and map design choices and a lot of the core gameplay just seeming to be lazy balance design rather than compelling decent gameplay.

I don't really know 2023-06-19 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I went into this not expecting much, I'm not into furry or the almost pixel like art style. I have to say I'm impressed with this one. The story, plot, and erotic lines were executed so well it made the art style work and I couldn't stop playing. I'm eagerly awaiting further updates and future games from Dev Bitshift.

LionSex 2023-06-19 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I payed for this on itch.io very nice standalone game and a good sequel to the second game. The dev says their is more content updates on the way. The writing and art is good, the lewd scenes are done really well too.

I was actually one of the earliest tester for Cruel Serenade back when it was 1.0, where I did leave feedback on Bitshift's FA. Now, is the game worth it for $10? I'm not too sure, as Star Wars Battlefront 2 Pandemics was sold for 15 and it was not only a completed masterpiece, it is still unrivaled in Galactic conquest and Space Battles. If it was a $5, I'm more inclined to being deserving. Now on to the game (which is still incomplete). The gameplay is slightly improved with the regeneration of Mana, more NPCs to interact and adds an anti crowd ability. Aside from that, it doesn't really stray that far from its predecessor. It goes something like this. 1. You enter in an unknown area where you will be approached by a group of 3 Mooks. Cue cutscene. 2. On the way, you will receive a special powerup that is required to beat the boss battle. 3. No substantial upgrades on equipment. Considering the slut option is still unfinished, I'll consider the story on what is completed. Honestly, it's neat. I can say the gameplay aspect of the game is the only thing lacking. And that's pretty much it for my review.

Lord of The Negative! 2023-06-19 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Updated/Edited Review; from v0.6.2 and amended after v1.0.1 In my previous review I'd wish for this game to have taken some inspiration from "Circlekame" and other hentai games, with clothing damage, and sexual combat. As at the time I thought that was the direction this game was heading, now, after playing the Club and brothel stages, I've had a change of thought. It feels like Mezz's fate is predetermined to a life under hypnosis and brainwashing, as such I feel that the inspiration focus should also be changed, with the mechanics I feel should reflect that vision, from a different game's mechanics, then what I previously stated. So I suggest Pandora's Forest, by Shiganoma, and their "Uruk Enkidupu" and "Cosled Del Bull" stages would fit this game more, (though I would still like clothing damage and better sexual combat.) As normal, straight Hentai games have set a fairly good, precedent for minimum quality. Such as fetishes include "Glory Hole," "Molestation," "Sexual Harassment in/out Combat," "Tentacles," "Clothing Damage," and "Alt-Clothing." And this game has only a few clothing options, such as Nude, Street Clothes, or Bunny suit, however none of which can be seen in combat, nor in the combat stills. What I see at the moment is that there are no actions, to make this game more appealing and based on the fact that they are being sold not as games, but as chapters, I don't feel my optimism for this being a good game, will ever be rewarded. You have a few moves, "Focus" (your energy regen skill), "Hard Knocks" (a random 3 hit attack among the enemies), and "Hard Times" (a random 7 hit attack among the enemies) for combat. While out of combat, you have "Patch Up" a healing skill, but leaves you with less energy (your energy bar gets fully restored after a fight, and you can't runaway from and combat interaction) when you enter combat. There is no full Health and Energy restore function, (such as a bed/sleep function,) outside of a complete loss, (which can only happen 3 times, till you get a Dead End). And no gangbang fetishes here, nor taking care of multiple people, in combat sex, (as you "serve" only one person until they cum, then you can "serve" a new opponent when THEY engage in it). You will struggle to keep your health bar up, and your enemy is always RNG, hardly ever a skill issue. There is very little enemy variety as you have three enemy types (they have names, but I just call them "coats"), Purple coats (the main mobs you'll see, they have a double attack), the Green coats (They have no attack, but to drug you), and the Yellow coats (which will only attack every other turn). You have three in combat sex scenes, Straddle, Standing Wall Fuck, and Lick Dick. All the images are stills (like 3 or 4, with no animations), that lead to the same "Knocked Down" state (that is what I call it), with you only able to use Items (Discarded Keys breaks you out of "Mind Control" and if you get up, you are open to an attack by 2 or more mobs often). Mezz isn't much of a character, nor has he developed much as a character, he isn't even "cocky." If he had quips that fell back on him, I could enjoy his fall, and he uses a Polearm, making the perfect stick puns and jokes, easy! Something like, "Hey doggy, I’m feeling pretty stick-tacular today" to then lose and the enemy repeats his line back to him like, "Hey Rabbit, I too am feeling pretty stick-tacular today, in your ASS!" At the start of a new fight, after a loss, Mezz could tell himself, "Its okay, I wasn't top of my game then, but NOW I am!" To boost his ego. To then get beaten down, again, and again. Maybe even with his lines becoming more sex related, as a coping mechanism. Like, "Doggy, "DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE GAY RABBIT?! He found a hare up his ass!" But there isn't any, he gives up after cumming three times, (while in combat,) or when you lose all health, three times. Where is the "cocky" or the "skills" for that matter? As far as progress goes, it started as a game that loved to waste your time with an equally weak story. As in the beginning the only "fun" you had, was with the sexual combat which was weak as you only had, "Beg," "Flatter," and "Serve" as a response to your opponent's dialogue. Now it is a little better, but not much. In the Club you can find use the Left or Right Arrow keys to relieve your client. In the street you have to play keep away while finding clients. And in the brothel you gamble with RNG, where if you tie (even on 21,) you still lose. And then there is Khazeem's HQ, you unlock the ability to stun-lock your opponent, with one of three moves, "Tease: Lick," "Tease: Ass", or "Tease: Stroke". However you must then "Serve" them with the interactions previously mentioned, ("Beg," "Flatter," or "Serve"). Overall it was okay previously, because it was still updating, it did waste your time, but I hoped it would get better, it didn't. Now it can't use the excuse of being lackluster due to being an opening act, as THERE IS an opening act before this chapter, both of which now seem "finished," and the Dev will be adding more chapters, not content. Future chapters desperately need outside inspiration, like other Hentai games. Standing Pictures, striping mechanics, and definitely better sex mechanics, as those would do this game justice.
