Your ex-wife gets in touch with you after years of silence… but what does she really want?

We're very happy to introduce our first Multipath Story... an illustrated story where you pick your own path through it. We hope you enjoy it!

"Story and code"?

That is REALLY impressive work! These things seldom have real branches. And the transitions are elegantly done. The story so far is hot as hell. Nicely done.

I'm in complete agreement. Sterling work, Daphne! Thanks.

This pretty great! Is there a way to start over from the beginning and try different paths? Once I came to the end it wouldn’t let me go back to the start.

If, at then end, you go back to the start of the chapter, you can then go back to the start of the story from there.

This was very good so far! Good art and steamy sex, but, most importantly, good characterization. I already feel like I have a good idea of who Annie and Allison are, with some hints about Lorelei (her in a tux at the wedding definitely lets you know what kind of woman she is). No explicit mind control yet, but there are implications, and I'm sure it's coming.

Thank you all for the kind words! It was a ton of fun to do. And, of course, PK and Maksim did a wonderful job on the art.

A very nice CYOA

Multipath story, please. :-)

How often will this update?  I want more, please.

Going to take a while to work all the way through this.

Do choices cross over between chapters?

This ruled

Yes!

That was very intriguing. I liked it quite a bit.

How difficult was this to make compared to a regular comic? I just realized that one of its benefits is that it's probably much less pirate-able.

Do any paths have mind control..? Mine did not.

Not spotted anything overt, but there are some possible hints: why can the women not masturbate to orgasm, and is it significant that Allison's 'special thing' makes her so...agreeable.

A fantastic piece of work, not just(!) artistically but also technically; it doesn't just go from frame to frame but also appears to generates the bottom panel links in each frame by combining individual links each time: if you look the sequence in which they are listed changes. I've not spotted them actually changing (rather than just their order) with time or routing without at least some change in the accompanying text panel but it's early days...

A really fantastic treat for us all Daphne. Of course, the bad news for you is that you've significantly increased everyone's expectations....

Excellent. Time to go out and buy more string an thumbtacks.

The artist effort was probably roughly the same... my effort, quite a bit more. :)

Just in case anyone was curious: There is nothing random in the game, except the order the choices appear in. Everything else is 100% determined by your choices.

If you replay multiple times, how does it know which path to preserve?

I'm very much hoping this ends up with the choice for the protagonist to be nice and free everyone or be mean and go ham...

If you go back to the start of a chapter, or all the way back, all of your choices go away at the same time, so your reading from that point onwards is fresh. For example, if you go back to the start of chapter 2, all of your choices in chapter 1 still apply, but it does not continue to use your old chapter 2 choices.

Speaking of, I made a small change where you now have the option of going all the way back to the start of the game from the end, rather than having to rewind first to the start of chapter 2, and then back to the start.

The story can't be made a favorite. (Or I can't find the star to do it.)

This is true. It's kind of outside the normal system of comic titles at the moment; we're working on it!

I know I’m very much in the minority here, but I didn’t like this style of story. I liked the art and the basic story line, but I personally didn’t want to choose, and didn’t want to go back to the beginning and “re-chose” to see if I could get a “better” story or outcome. Just not my thing.

Random is hard to do with computers anyway.
Now THAT is a mind control fan.

Personally loved this. Felt like a VN of sorts, I loved trying every branch. I defaulted to the breast fetishism route on more than one occasion.

I'm guessing there's metrics on who chose what XD

This was awesome. Great art, story, and mechanics. I got really hooked trying different choices until I settled on one I liked best. Kudos for the idea and execution!

Tell us how you really feel. :)

Oh pooh. Next you'll be telling me that google and facebook curate my information feeds to turn me into a good corporate slave.

That was really fun, and a nice change of pace for the holidays. I hope that it's able to become a complete story, though I imagine the amount of additional work will grow exponentially per chapter.

I did a quick bit of analysis, and there are at least 1,000 different paths through the story!

Nice plan to drive site traffic XD

I'd be lying if I denied it!

Ok, so that extended text exhange with Annie: I think every option falls into one of three categories:

1) You're a good man
2) You're a bad man
3) You're a horny man

The image that it then reacts with is based which of those response types you choose.

1) Housewife
2) Collared slave
3) Topless slut

It'd be lovely if those are your general character outcomes.

Spoiler tag! Oh, wait... :'(

And so far I have tried maybe 237 of them. I’ll be coming back to this for months. Really nice work.

And we're collecting some feedback! https://forum.mindcontrolcomics.com/index.php?topic=2803.0

I wonder if there's any correlation between people's first path through the story and their reaction to it? The more MC-ey paths took me a while to find... and I didn't (and haven't) taken any notes, so I'm not exactly sure which choices I made that led to them.

I know I'm about a month and a half late on this, but I really enjoyed the set up and am looking forward to the continuation of this series.  A Choose Your Own Adventure story with erotic mind control as a centerpiece, do carry on.  Please don't let it slip into limbo.

You are playing with fire son

Just calling it what it is.

I personally really loved this story and format. Being able to effectively play a game of sorts really hit a lot of my buttons so to speak. Is there any kind of schedule for this or no because you are trying to reward people for just staying subscribed to the site?

The only schedule is the calendar. Past that, we don't know the status of any series.

Really wish to see more of this. It's good.

It is, in fact, being worked on!

How do we reset to try multiple paths??

It's in the works. There's a lot that goes into one of the updates here...

Glad to know it's not forgotten.
