The Secret Life of Dorian Pink | Prologue

(spoilers??) Amidst the many Dorian Gray retellings, this narrative-based RPG game gives the story new life (literally). As someone who has read the Wilde classic several times, I found the pink change to Dorian's character a comedic addition to this urban gothic. I particularly liked some of the more crude jokes and language produced by the characters. The devil, for example, is a bit flirtatious, giving a light-hearted approach to the idea of how corrupting the dark side can be. The stealing away of Basil from our romantic playable character leads to him jumping through his cursed portrait to re-live the events of his past (the classic tale) in an effort to save the beloved artist. Opening, specifically, with the painting of the picture that started it all. Lord Henry enters the scene soon after, and this scene was very funny to me. Specifically because, in the book, Dorian was very interested in meeting Lord Henry with Basil trying to play keep-away, and now the opposite could be said as Dorian disregards Lord Henry to pursue a date with Basil (or, at least, that's what my choices led to in this series of events). Choices made will dictate, to some degree, how the story progresses further and seems, for now, to be the most influential on tone rather than plot (so don't worry about making a 'bad choice'). Perhaps because I was intent on flirting with Basil in my progression, I made choices that might be a bit more confident and endearing (or so I hope), but what this will mean in the long run depends a lot on further updates. At max, about 30 minutes of play in the prologue (and really closer to 10 if you speed through), I think that this game is worth checking out. Particularly for lit majors or fans! It's casual, fun, and--overall--easy to digest when compared to some of the more text-heavy approaches people often take to re-envisioning Dorian. Beware of some language and imagery, though! You'll spend a portion of your time in this playthrough with an animated genitalia-inspired art... ahem... 10/10 - Added to Wishlist

I just played the Secret Life of Dorian Pink Prologue and my only regret is that it is not a full game. It looked great, it was funny, and it was SMART. Highly recommend

This game is very fun and funny. One of the best prologues I've played in awhile. I cannot wait for the full game!

Oscar Wilde'ın Dorian Gray'in Portresi adlı eserinin alternatif evreninde geçen, seçimlerin önemli olduğu bir anlatı RPG'si. Şüpheli seçimler yaparak, müttefikler kazanarak ve donutları patlatarak erkek arkadaşınız Basil'i Şeytan'dan kurtarın.

Wow. Wow, the art was varied, contrasting and while much was surreal it hints at something deeper. The story is super captivating and the choices are... difficult. Points to a lot of meaning and a good bit of cheeky fun. Time well spent. Felt like a chapter of a longer meditation on this ol' life. Exceptional, truly.

I didn't know much about the Dorian Gray novel so I recommend learning a little bit about the back story before playing. I did, and it made meeting each of the characters more enjoyable. Only 10 minutes in I got a quest to help the crooks and the completionist in me was sad that it ended there! Considering it was created by a 1-person team the game art looks great and the music is charming. Wishlisting it so I can continue playing when the full game is released.

so fun!!! so cool!!!! so visually beautiful i loovvee the art style and i cannot wait for the full game fourteen thumbs up out of ten
