[Shattered]

Locked Servitude

You don't need to have played any of my other teases to jump right in, but Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall... is reccomended,

There is a feedback poll at the end, else you can leave any comments or bug reports here - but please check the known bugs, as there are a few I can't fix right now, but at minor. Any major bugs please let me know asap!

Hey hey, awesome to see another tease from the miestro!

Ran through it as instructed and it was a lot of fun, but I found a couple small issues and then the game softlocked itself.

Spoiler: show

1. At the writing lady, the "Don't Write it" button persists forever unless you press it.

2. At the blonde lady by the window, when the metronome first changes from 60BPM to 120BPM there's an overlap of a few pages where *both* metronomes are playing. It creates an interesting rhythm, might be worth playing around with in order to get some more unique beats into a tease... but I feel like it wasn't intended here.

3. At the blonde lady is where I encountered the softlock. Once you do your first edge and she asks what that was:
- there are 2 buttons to push with different dialogue > Going down either path directs you to the same I don't understand page (seems intended) > "it means spill my seed" button > ewww stop page > push the "stopped" button > returns you back to the what was that page.
I went through the loop a couple times, tried waiting to see if there was a timer on the stop page, still had the "Don't Write It" button lingering, so tried pressing that, got 1 line of purple text from that encounter and then returned to the loop where I'd left off.

Anyways, yeah! The tease was great, the focus on play with the cage on was a lot of fun, definitely something new and something that would be really cool to see more of in any of your future content!

Looking forwards to seeing the rest of the tease once that pesky softlock has been patched.

Cheers!

Appear unable to bypass the 'hands on your head' part.

Fixed!

If you wait 10 seconds with your hand on your head, you cant push a button But I made it clearer.

Well you ARE meant to stay there the whole night XD

But yeah - I found this too. Doesn't quite seem right.

Fixed, so close to the end it was a last minute change that screwed it!

Hey Shattered,

I've been playing your content for a long time, and this is perhaps the first time I'm left unsatisfied in a bad way. It felt short, unfinished, like there was a lot more to explore... spoilers below.

Spoiler: show

I feel that at least the "questioning" in the morning should've been part of this tease, or perhaps the weekly milking? It would've ended on a more positive note, even if negative.

I can't remember one of your teases being this short since Deity Denial.

I'm not sure if you plan on adding to it, or the next part will be stand-alone, but I believe it should have more content, because as it is, it falls closer to a mini-tease than one of your usual.

Other than that, it was interesting, and I'd personally like to see more chastity in future projects. It's a bit ironic that there's more chastity after you've finished the chastity series, but nevertheless.

I have played through the tease a some time ago and in my opinion this is one of your best so far . That being said, there are a few points I would particularly like to mention:

1) There is no apparent tease downtime. Other teases often have something along the lines of telling you to watch porn for 30min and do something while watching but this tease never does something like that. Instead, it always tells you what to do and does not leave you on your own.

2) The tease leaves you in the cage for a substantial amount, which I enjoyed because it makes the unlocking that much more rewarding. (I am not much a fan of lock/unlock cycles that last a few minutes)

...the next point contain spoilers for this tease and 24h with Hailey:

Spoiler: show

3) Given that structure of the tease's story and also the trend in your recent ones I am worried that it will lead to a full orgasm equals good ending. So, if everything is done right that player is rewarded with a full orgasm. However, from my experience denial and ruined orgasms are often not intended as punishment. I agree that a "denial" ending is always a bit of an open ending and when playing a tease most expect some kind of ejaculation. Most of the time my gf ruins my orgasm(s), it is not intended as punishment, she does it because she can even though I did not make any mistake. Thus, what I would be looking forward to is not a full=good/ruined=bad ending but rather something that just fits the narrative or would be fun for the teaser in that particular moment. (One example is the 24h with Hailey tease where your orgasm is ruined because you fail in the last hour, but if you hold out you are rewarded.)

4) It is clear you like fantasy but I would also recommend to avoid forcing an over-arching narrative into the tease. For example, in your goddess' series this goddess (almost) always made an appearance and while it would have been fine to have the tease set in the goddess universe, I would have preferred those teases with the goddess.

That's fair, thanks for the feedback :) It isn't for everyone. I posted on patreon that this year I am trying something new in releasing teases more often, but shorter and standalone. There's been good and bad feedback and it's definitely a deviation from the norm. I have part 3 of this I'll be starting next month that is likely the conclusion, and the 3 parts basically make one 'normal' tease. Then I have a larger tease planned for after that, more 'business as usual.'

And the reason I started writing teases was to get more Chastity ones on the site, so that's never going to change :D I havent done one with such a large % of active chastity time, and I couldnt with the normal length and what I'd want to write, so I've enjoyed getting to try something different.

Instead, it always tells you what to do and does not leave you on your own. Was this a good point or a bad point? The length being shorter for this tease has meant I can just fill in exactly what I want and move on, no need to create something for downtime.

For me the tease being "shorter" is a good thing. (I have also put shorter under quotes because technically it is still a long tease but only short compared to your other teases)

4) - You said Goddess so much I've lost what you mean . This 3 part series is it's own thing, aye: What I meant to say was that sometimes the occurrences of the Goddess seemed forced as if you wanted her to be in the tease just to be part of the series while the tease could also have served as standalone.

Tried playing this but at some point (not sure exactly when) when I came back and clicked "Continue the tease" it got stuck on a screen with caption "left cap new thing".

[Gurgl]

Oh, gosh! I realized a made a mistake yesterday when rating Mirror, Mirror five stars. Because this sequel is even better, but I already maxed out at five stars!!!

And it's a perfect length to! You have the codes to accommodate for breaks, which is a great option, but I prefer playing in one go. And it's just the right length for that!

Some feedback to further improve this tease, and help others.
The toy list is missing...

Spoiler: show

A gag.
And possibly clothespins, since you do refer to these in the script (although with the option the player can use their nipple clamps as a substitute).

I like that you need to keep track of the different names, but wouldn't hurt (or it would hurt... ) if you made it little more tricky. I could remember...

Spoiler: show

The first letter, "it was something with an N...". That was enough for me to make the correct choice. But what if you added another name starting with an N, and being just enough different to be possible to mix up?

When going through the mail in one of the tasks, you can select to take the letters from the top, or from the bottom. I opted to take them from the top, but then I got the line "Go on, take one from the top this time! Let's not get some old news...". So it's like the program thought I had selected to take them from the bottom. Or you just don't switch the conversation based on actual choice here? Then consider rephrase to something more neutral?

When helping the next Lady to write...

Spoiler: show

There should be some sort of spell check, and punishments associated. I spelled like heck, full of mistakes, but it passed unnoticed. Both there, and in the summary in the end, I just got praise for a well done task.

And just before the Dome session end, the...

Spoiler: show

"Carisha-Checkpoint" is the line "Oh, but of course, remove those clamps first. I almost forgot.". Thing is, the clamps are already gone, because she previously instructed to rip them off.
I'm sure of it, because I remember that, remember that pain, very, very well...

In the end, trying to convince my Lady I've earned a release, in the option...

Spoiler: show

"I hurt myself for you", the clothespins come on. But you miss an instruction to remove them again in the end, before returning to the list of arguments.

For the belt mentioned in toy list, the intended use in the tease is...

Spoiler: show

To secure yourself to the chair, with the vibrator turned on. Here it is missing the instruction on what speed the vibrator shall be. I guess speed shall be "Low", now that I know the rest of the story, but I had no idea at the time.

And that entire part is actually my least favorite part of the entire tease. Because in the story the character is not bound or restricted, not even gagged, just sent to sleep with the vibrator on. So IRL I’m doing something, not synced with what is happening in the imaginary world. Would be much better and make much more sense if I'm simply instructed to go lay on the bed for the same amount of time.

Just some of my thoughts. But main feedback: This was awesome!
