v0.82
0.82a Patch notes:
Important Notes:
Certain Backtracking quests were added to make sure everything transitions properly. It is recommended you restart a brand new game. If you do not it will not affect game play but there is some small changes to quests before when Grace is promoted.
A work around for those that do not want to start a new game is press "Shift O", type in "$grace_suggesion_steal = False", type in "$izumi_and_grace_done = False".
Ease of Life Changes:
Added Skip time feature Izumi House.
Added Various Opportunities steps to make it harder to get "lost".
Changed Some Opportunities description to make it easier to understand what to do next.
Add Opportunities for when Grace is promoted to make it more clear on what to do next.
Balance Changes:
All Izumi and Grace Conversations in the house no longer give REL or Fear.
If threatening Grace in her bathroom (Izumi Promoted) now gives Fear
New Content:
Note:
The game now works in a way where no matter what you do with Izumi and Grace, how you promote them, if they fear you or like you, they all lead to same base content. They are different as far as some of the content within them, but they all eventually lead to the same spot. This means you will no longer need to have multiple saves to play different parts of the game.
A lot of work was put in to making this work and work in a logical fashion. It took much more time than I thought was reasonable, but it is hopefully working as I intended it to.
A full Izumi Fear Route progression is also working both for if you choose to promote Izumi and if you choose to promote Grace. They have slightly different content but ultimately lead to the same thing.
What's been added:
Added Full Izumi Fear Route Progression Including:
Added Izumi fear route Progression if GRACE PROMOTED
Added Blackmail Izumi Quest if GRACE PROMOTED (Need to start new game if progressed already too far) (This is to make the transition smoother and is optional.)

Added changes to all Sex scenes at Izumi's House if Izumi Fear route
Added New Quest for Izumi Fear route at Izumi's house to get her to talk to you.

A lot of the code was changed from previously, so there may be issues with previous saved games.
I've played many versions of the game, every update made it that much better. The depth of the progressions is excellent for this kind of game, not complicated but really satisfying. The options between being moral or corrupt with the girls are really well made and it gives you the kind of power many other games fail to give. Shame its been abandoned, I would love to see the finished end product and what you could do as a fully levelled up Byron.
I found this AVN depressing. MC is a workaholic (there is A LOT of grinding at the workplace in this game) and his girlfriend, who he lives with, is a straight up alcoholic, who passes out every night when they hang out in their bedroom, and the pair cannot have ful l sexual intercourse without getting high on ecstasy. How depressing is that? MC meets other women, but he connects with none of them, he stays a manipulating narcissist, always keeps his distance, never really caring about anyone. You can choose if you want to play a "good guy" route or a more evil one, but the good guy route is weird because MC cannot ever be really nice to anyone, he is always a dick. It is fun, in a way, to juggle and maintain the different relationships, kind of like having pets to feed or something like that. But it is hard to truly engage in any of these relationships, they all have a numbness to them. Being an anal fan, I was most interested in reaching those scenes, and while they were pretty well done, they too felt numb and depressing. Izumi is corrupted, yes, but most of all she just hates the MC and gives up her attempts to struggle against his wishes, because he blackmails her and has the upper hand. Like so many AVN's, the MC here has no friends or family, no relations, all he has are these women who he manipulates and distances himself from, so he feels like a true psycho.. I have to give the game 3 stars because of the good-looking renders and the anal scene, and playing this game was not completely uninteresting, but it really is flawed. Also, it's hard and grind to get truly rich, which is one of the main goals of the game.
TLDR: Despite significant issues it's a good game. Girls are extremely hot! Very sexy exploitation, corruption, degradation. Good anal, but otherwise mostly unsatisfying sex. Unfortunately, your LIs fuck other guys. Frustrating progression. Missable content, exclusive paths. Annoying UI. Some bugs. Positives: Girls are extremely beautiful and have perfect bodies. Truly hot. a2m from one sister's ass to the other's mouth. Nice story setting. Working in finance, gaining promotions, researching, tech, and more... In theory the character attributes, gaining levels, and relationship progression is quite nice. (But in practice it's flawed.) Anal. Some of these scenes are really hot. Exploiting, molesting, fucking the subordinates. Animations. Towards the very end of the game a couple of the scenes have good animations. Earlier animations are basic. Hypnosis. Invisibility. Non-consent. Threesomes. Great one with GF and her sister. (But sadly no options for MMF or gangbang.) Public sex, exhibitionism. Choice to make GF an addict and focused on you. (Interesting option but doesn't have much impact.) Good dirty talk in some sex scenes. Incl. degradation. Cucking a guy by fucking and using his hot wife in front of him. DP. 1 scene, a bit awkward since you're DPing a girl together with a trans girl (not my thing). Still nice with DP. Negatives: Must watch an LI being fucked by other man (without MC). And must see flashback of your GF getting fucked by two guys. Missable content. Frustrating. The LI with the most content is literally whoring herself out to another man. Sex is mostly unsatisfying, boring, except for the anal scenes. Particularly orgasms are unsatisfying, muted, almost ignored. Little dialogue during sex. This gets a bit better after a while. Grind. Unskippable "cutscenes" during sex. Abandoned, no satisfying conclusion despite some endings. "Choice" screens that are just one option. So it often stops the flow of the VN and forces you to click, for no reason. Several exclusive paths. You don't have the _option_ to see/unlock all relationships/scenes. Instead you have to replay, which I won't spend my time doing. Animations in the first 2/3 of the game are outdated, short, basic. Progression is confusing, frustrating. Can't decide MC's name (or anyone's name). Bad UI. Tedious, lots of clicks, often can't use spacebar/enter, instead you have to pause and use mouse. Feels like unfinished writing. E.g. characters just abruptly appear as if we're supposed to know them. Many unused characters. Bugs: Working "too much" leads to quests getting bugged, not progressing. Had to restart the playthrough. Bugs: certain quests don't show up in the journal even though they're supposed to and have a quest marker. Bugs: Events happening out of order. E.g. events talking about how the sister moved in when that hasn't happened yet. Irrelevant bullshit dialogue/inner monologue. Even sometimes _during_ sex. Like the dev read some pop psychology books. Gimmicks that are completely underused. E.g. MC invents a literal invisibility suit but it plays only a tiny role. Forced footjobs. Endings are extremely similar. They're also not truly "endings", they basically leave almost all story unfinished. Number of scenes with MC. Every scene & ending in gallery. Replayable scenes/variations with just text changes only count once. Vaginal: 47 (Grace: 15. Izumi: 9. Angela: 5. Alice: 4. Ida: 2. Emily: 1. Olivia: 1. Layla: 1. Pei: 1. Bailey: 4. Jasmine: 1. Eshe: 1. Sora: 2.) Anal: 9 (Grace: 3. Bailey: 2. Izumi: 2. Alice: 1. Sora: 1.) DP: 1 (Layla: 1. MC and a trans girl DP another girl.) (Version played: 0.95.1.2)
Excluding the mind-numbing grind there is actually not that much content. Sex sceres are not only scarce, but also poorly executed. Clickfest with default animations or more often even no animations at all. No sound effects either. Most characters are unlikable and not worth your emotional investment. Like maybe if you're starved for office power harassment experince you could give this a go, otherwise I can't figure out reasons to bother with this game.
I'm enjoying the game so far, the graphics are pretty good as well as the charecter models, but what would make the game even better is if I could actually read half of what the dialogue is, its pretty hard to read especially when the text and the dialogue box are white when being in a bright area of any place in the game makes it very difficult to read anything...Please do something about it...Thanks in advance.
A strong game for those who like dark corruption and power. There is a story somewhat forgettable but the corruption of those around you is definitely fun. Updates have been slow but there is a good deal of content here now so a fun way to kill a few hours.
I honestly can't give this VN any more than 3 stars. There is a solid amount of content, but it isn't good enough to push it into 4 stars. First and foremost, why isn't there an NTR tag? Seeing how it's all over the place with what I'm assuming are LIs. With that out of the way, here goes the review. Average is as far as I can go. Yes there is a lot of content. It almost comes across as being bogged down with shit to do. I recommend dropping the harem tag and leaving that aspect alone. Because there's not an actual harem going on here with all of the cheating and NTR, cucking going on. Give us the option to kick the drunkard GF to the curb and keep her sister. Seeing how that relationship started off with cheating. LOL The money making is actually quite easy. You just amass so much you don't have anything to spend it on. Good job there. The condo you buy could have been a nice place for a harem if this was actually a harem VN. 2 bed rooms? Why? The warehouse is completely not needed. You could've done the AI right there in that condo. Only if the condo would have been done differently. So, IMO this VN could have been done at least 2 years ago. Seeing as I don't actually remember the first time I came across it. Yet here we are in 2024 and this one is still going. At least this MC doesn't have cockzilla going on, and all the women aren't madly in love with him from the onset. Either way, this is only based on my opinions. I wouldn't want anyone to pass judgement because of that. Give it a try. Just skip the cheat mod. The only thing it really does is fix relationship points with some of the women, and your stats. Which is good.
You can tell there has been a lot of effort put into this game, but that doesn't make the final product good. This is another very grindy, very tedious sandbox game where you micromanage everything, down to the very basics of being alive, like eating. There's really not much to say here, the girls look ok, the graphics look ok, the game technically plays fine, it's just a grindy snoozefest sandbox. Honestly pretty damn disappointing because if this was either a VN or a sandbox where you just used it to have freedom of choice to explore your own paths, that would be significantly better and would probably be a decent little game. Instead, this game wastes your time by having you eat food, take a shower, and work out at the gym to keep your stats normal. Very sad.
Originally one of my favorite games on the site. - really attractive women which still hold up really really well, even though the overall render quality is probably about average at this point in time, but the character models themselves are unique and actually look good - office theme is done better than most games of similar nature - good sex scenes and scenarios, though animations are sometimes very rigid and unnatural looking - main character is smart guy and not a beta. women do flock to him but usually don't instantly sleep with him, so there's at least progression - well developed power dynamics - plenty of content - not sure why others are saying there's not a lot, also qualifying these by saying "not a ton for 6 years" should be completely irrelevant when reviewing. The point is for anyone new who takes on the game there are a wide range of scenes, especially with certain characters having multiple scenarios/paths. neg - can be grindy, some will mind and some don't. I will say at the very least you get into a rhythm, and honestly events can always be found while you go through the days - story probably has too much going on by the end - huge game size + not great performance - not enough Olivia
High-Rise Climb [v0.94a] Pros: Nice Premise Neutral: Some Character Models look decent, but others look too aged Cons: Boring Story Way too grindy Poor Sex Scenes Not much content Terrible game performance Animations are dull Some choices are forced upon you Conclusion: The plot really convinced me to play this game, because I do like corruption games, and the idea of the boss corrupting female co-workers hasn't been done that often, and mostly with bad results. Sadly this game is no different and has countless issues. From a content perspective, it's hard to believe that the development of this game is in it's sixth year, when there's still not much content here. I can look past a boring story, bad writing, lack of content or aged visuals with lackluster animations. But the game feels really half-assed, is filled with grindy filler, doesn't do anything interesting with the promising plot, and doesn't make you want to play this game more. Not only that, but this game runs like absolute dogshit, and leads you wanting to uninstall it. Because the dev doesn't seem to be able to optimize a 6 year-old renpy game, that feels like me trying to play fuckin Cyberpunk 2077 on an GTX 750. It's laggy, there are countless freezes and crashes, which makes this game unplayable at times. Is it maybe an old version of renpy? I definetly never had these issues with other games before. So, without the terrible performance of the game it would've gotten 2*. And maybe even that would be too nice, considering in what a poor state this game is in after 6 years. There's no way I can recommend this game, and this one will take a place in my ignore list.
Renders are good Cheat mod is good Story is meh not really interesting Fear mechannic feels useless No bugs Events not always triggering Option to make the The wife being alcoholic just is bad rsearch items are really good
Really nice renders and girls . Loved the game , well done smokey dots . I hope your team is proud of what they've made . Story is a little predictable but that's expected in the genere , good luck for the future of the project and i hope it goes well!
Dident really enjoy much in this game, the stories are boring and plain, the girls dident really do much for me either they felt emotionless and about 95% of them i dident like how they look and its mostly the same build body wise, i just couldent get any feelings for them. And the sex scenes with text like in, out, in, out when MC is fucking a LI is just not how you set the mood in sex scenes. Also not really a fan of being forced to be with LIs i dont want to be with, but if you dont then quest lines cant be done, so expect to be forced to brainwash LIs into doing things they dont want, and your forced to do drugs as well. Its really more like a kinetic story for the most parts and very little freedom. The animations are very short and alot of scenes arent even animated which makes it feel cheap and rushed, the 3-some scene is proberly the only one that is decent. Sandbox is also making it take forever to get anywhere in the stories, but it wasent the worst sandbox ive tried atleast. Story 2/5 Boring, Kinetic feel, long with barely any rewards, any by long its not due to texts since the stories them selfs is maybe 2 hours worth if that, its long due to the grind. Animations 2/5 Alot of sex scenes is picture to picture and 99% of the animated ones are very short and boring with text like "in, out, in, out" ya i am not kidding... Girl 2/5 They where just not to my taste, alot looks older then what they are supposed to be and i dident really like most of the face designs. Music 3/5 Standard background music nothing mood setting but better then silent. Sandbox 3/5 Not the worst but its still a grind. Updates 1/5 Well game is close to 6 years old so maybe in another 10 it will be complete, its just to slow.
I would avoid this game even though the plot is cool & its a fairly unique premise + the characters are decently written. Don’t be fooled. The game has been around for 6 years, but it has about as much content as many games do in 6-12 months. Outside of the grind mechanisms, there is about 1 hour to 1.5 hours of content. Thats ridiculous for six years of development. The majority of characters in the game are either introduced briefly once, or there is no way to interact with them. The game is also not polished and there quite a few bugs. Additionally, for some reason, the “opportunities page” does not work for half the characters, and some characters do not show up at all on the relations page so you have no idea what the stats are for them. If you play the smart way (don’t spend any money until you have around 40m due to interest compounding) the game can be completed in about 6 hours due to having to grind and click the same buttons endlessly. Given the pace of development for the game, it is highly unlikely it will ever be finished in a satisfactory manner.
Review for High-Rise Climb v0.93.1c: Overall: 3/5 - I started this game a couple years ago and ditched it because it was just too complicated and I didn't have the time. I tried it again this week and played through the available content and came to the conclusion that it's OK, but the entertainment value just isn't worth the time spent. Story: 3.5/5 - The story started off kinda slow and boring and eventually turned SciFi, but the SciFi aspect just got started before the end of the most recent update. Various love-interests have their side stories but none of them are very engaging by themselves. Writing: 3.5/5 - The writing is mostly good. It actually appears to be written by a native English speaker. However, there are quite a few typos and other mistakes especially in the later content. Obviously, nobody is proofreading. Renders: 3/5 - Most of the renders look dated. This game was started in 2017 and that's exactly what I would've guessed if somebody asked me when the game was made solely based on the renders. They do improve some over time, but they're not even close to modern VN quality. It shows that the game has been dragging on way too long. However, the models are pretty and you've likely seen a few of them in other games. Animations: 2/5 - The animations are a sore spot for this game. It seems like most of the animations for earlier content are missing, like the developer intended to insert animations for some scenes but never did it. The animations that are in the game range from poor jerky 2-frame to smooth and mostly natural-looking. The better animations are in the later content, which makes sense. Too bad the animations for older content were never added and/or updated to benefit new players. Sound: 2/5 - The music bored me to tears. I turned it off after an hour. Content: 2/5 - Content and especially lewd content is lacking for a game that's been in development for 5 1/2 years. Build-up to the lewd content is kind of poor. The lewd content available with the MC's live-in girlfriend from the start of the game is really weak for no reason and the only repeatable sex scene with her is when they are tripping on Ecstasy. Basically, players are going to put in a lot of time, but they won't see much adult content. Also, there are many weird continuity errors in the content that break immersion. These are likely due to the sandbox design combined with a lack of overall design and testing. E.g., MC hypnotizes Angela to stop drinking, but she still drinks in repeating scenes. Angela tells MC that he can fuck her sister, but Angela goes ballistic when her sister stands in front of MC wearing only underwear. There are many others. Gameplay: 2/5 - This game is overly complicated, the sandbox is overly tedious, and the balance for grind vs. content starts off really poor and barely makes it to average by the time you finish the most recent update. The sandbox is a bit of a mess. With the gameplay being so grindy, the sandbox needs to be consistent and optimal. The interaction UI works differently for different characters, the navigation UI works differently for different interiors. It sucks, especially when you have to get re-accustomed to the inconsistencies every few months when playing a new update. Bugs: There are some "opportunities" that can't be completed because the game doesn't check dependencies before allowing the player to progress in other opportunities. The sandbox user interface is full of dumb little bugs. They're not game-breaking but they are very annoying. The coding underneath the hood must look like a bowl of spaghetti. Here are some examples: The time of day can roll over from 23:00 to 24:00 and 25:00 instead of 00:00 and 01:00. Stats for work-level, body-level, and research-level are randomly displayed as negative or have values over 100%. Relationship level isn't a percentage, and it can go well above 100, but when it's above 100, certain actions will reset it to 100. The current location indicator says "HOME" most of the time, even when the MC is at work, or other places. The "WAGE" stat starts to go backwards when it reaches about $308 million. All of the little bugs and typos that have existed for so many years are an indication of how little the developer actually cares about quality and the player's experience.
Sexual harassment, workplace, public, and corruption? Yes, please. Wait, the development began in 2017? 6 years ago? And there is so little content in it? And I have to grind hours to unlock low frames animations with terrible animations? No, thank you. You can play nice by grinding the "like" stat (around +6 a day with upgrades) or play less nice with harassment by increasing their fear. Wich unlock... Two scenes for two characters... Wow. Then hours later, the story finally slightly moves on and unlocks some new scenes and that's it. 6 years, barely a dozen of scenes, almost no story.
Dated compared to the more modern games, but the models and story are still enjoyable. The girls are distinct to choose upon, and is still okay for a playthrough. It can get grindy, but renpy games can be cheated to make it less grindy
Its ok. The presentation is great both in renders and UI, with some good ideas like the Xray glasses option, that adds an extra level of enjoyment to the games story and world. The animations are pretty good as well. There are many characters to interact with, though the grind necessary to progress the relationships with any of them can get quite boring and tedious. The grind in general can get extremely tedious. As for the love interests, more variations in body proportions would have been greatly appreciated. As it is now all of the female characters seem to have the same build with minor variations. But this is overall a small complaint. The writing is ok, characters have their own personalities and interests, but i definitely felt the need to skim through it most of the time. Overall its a recommend, it is a quite polished experience.
Verision: 0.92a Definitely a great game with a ton of content. Not sure I got everything, but it was definitely nice to so many options for how to work with the characters from love to outright predation. For the most part, your character is as moral as you want them to be, no preachy moralizing. The scenes are hot and creative. Only down sides would be: some scenes need more narration and the creator clearly learned to animate in the development of the game, some scenes don't move, some stutter, others are completely fluid.
High-Rise Climb (0.92a version) is a game I really wanted to like as I love office stories. And in this case, the result is somewhere in the middle. Gameplay-wise it's a sandbox with little grind, which is nice, that allows you to progress with an adequate amount of freedom and choose which girls you're interested in and which you are not. The thing is the story, it takes its time on the begginning which is great, and then just starts going very quickly as you unlock some skills. This makes the whole story fall a bit apart as things just reach a rythm that doesn't feel believable at all. I know it is a porn game, but I think in a game like this story is very important to set the mood, create tension and so on, and in this case it fails a bit on that as it advances, specially with certain girls. Render quality is very good, no doubt about it, as are the character models. Animations, especially during sex scenes, are not that great though, and in general sex scenes are a bit on the low quality, with unneeded clicks and other interruptions. As for sound it has some music to it, but it ends up being a bit too repetitive, so in the end I silenced it. Edit: So, all in all, I kept following the game for a while and playing it's updates but it ended up not being worth it. Dropped.
