Mastermind – Hypnosis Harem RPG with Deep Strategy

Story Premise

This game starts with the bare minimum: you’re a guy with hypnotic powers, and the world is your oyster. No lengthy cutscenes, no hand-holding—just point yourself at a heroine and start corrupting. You’ll meet 24 unique characters across various factions: adventurers, mercenaries, holy knights, a vampire, a barbarian queen, even a saintess. Each has her own personality and scenario, but the game doesn’t force you down a linear path. You’re free to recruit who you want, when you want, and build your harem empire at your own pace.

Core Gameplay

Random-Command Combat

Battles use a unique system where four skills are randomly selected from your party’s pool each turn. This keeps fights fresh and forces you to adapt on the fly. There are 10 distinct status effects, each with its own quirks, and some characters even have special forms. You can also adopt the “Counter-Hypnosis” system to nullify enemy mental attacks by applying your favorite status effect as a defense. Equipment is limited to lower-body gear—three types of lewd accessories that you can craft and customize.

Dice Exploration & Naked Shopping

The exploration system is built around rolling dice to move across the map, with events and encounters determined by where you land. You can also force your hypnotized servants to shop naked in town, watching NPCs react as you hunt for bargains and rare items. It’s equal parts humiliation play and resource management.

Harem Learning

This is the game’s signature feature. At inns, you can engage in harem H-scenes while simultaneously training your skills. The more servants you have, the more bonuses you unlock—but the bonuses are randomized, so expect to reload a few times if you’re chasing optimal builds. Skill trees let you unlock perks like “sensitivity x1000” or “lewd crests,” though reviewers note that many unlocks don’t always tie directly into visible H-content.
