The Guide to Being Assertive
A downloadable game
The Guide to Being Assertive: A game about becoming a woman and learning how to control and dominate those around you.
You've been meek all your life. Pushed around, taken advantage of, mocked and belittled. You're used to it. But someone at work pushes you beyond the breaking point, and you just can't take it anymore. Your therapist suggests something a little radical, and the results will be beyond anything you expected.
Many games in the Male-to-Female transformation genre have the player become a huge slut, or a submissive woman. This is not that kind of game. In The Guide to Being Assertive, you'll find new confidence in your female form, and that confidence will inspire you to take control, through any means necessary.
This is not a game about being a nice person. This is a game about getting what you want. And what you want is for everyone else to please you.
Major themes are FemDom and corruption. There's also a lot of fetishes represented (bimbofication/sissification, bondage/BDSM, cumplay, exhibitionism, pregnant, petplay, latex, and lactation) that can add flavor to your interactions with NPCs. While this game is a "life simulator", many aspects are glossed over to better get to the action.
Please note: this game is actively in development, and will continue to expand options and interactions as development continues. Public releases here will be two weeks after private releases.

I think something's wrong with the downloads for this on the itch app. It keeps giving an error message that says "no compatible downloads found". And I'm able to install and play other games just fine.
Iirc ... downloads must be linked with supported OS ... otherwise the app cannot manage them ...
That seems like an easy change for the dev to make.
I do like the game but like someone else said how do you keep your penis without skipping the intro I want to go through it cause it gives you more options but I don't know how to get the outcome I want
When selecting your undergarments, choose the boyshorts over the panties.
i chose the boyshorts and still lost the penis so why is that
great game and enjoy playing it
when next update due out?
I need help when I close the html my saved saves reset where can I find them or what are the saves called so I can search for them
you have the mc pregnancy photos but no way to get your character pregnant? Every time the character has sex it still says she a virgin
I know this is a stupid question, but you could maybe possibly write a route where you try to be assertive and fail/ and or enjoy being a sub. Maybe you find a top to whisk you away from your shit life.
It's not a stupid question! I get it a lot. It is, however, something I've decided against. My focus for the game is a dominant player character. Adding submissive content for the PC goes against the theme (and would require a LOT of work).
UGH. I guess I have to accept that not every game can be catered to MY needs and MY wants. Or maybe you're just a horrible stinky poopy game dev, yeah I'll go with that >:)
Hehe nice one ;P
I don't know any entirely lesbian or strictly LGBT projects, cause there aren't many of them and I'm not a fan of such content, but I hope this will help you a bit:
Residents of Evilville - a RE parody, definately lesbian-friendly game about girls and bondages. Your character is a silly simpleton Claire who is dominated by a girl and could dominate over other girls herself. She usually runs into stupid and funny situations mostly related with bondages, and there are a lot of lesbian or bisexual situations. Also it's developer has some more games similiar to this one.
Third Crisis - a really good game by itself, but also lesbian-friendly. Your main character is literally a young lesbian woman who seek for her lost girlfriend in a dark lustful sci-fi world. Your possible companions are: a stripper woman (highly interested in you), gay soldier, plant girl and futa girl. The game has lots of straight cocks, but it all depends on your decisions. You could become a street whore, or stay pure and pride and eventually get your girlfriend back, or even take a shortcut - became a wife of a local porn mistress and walk into sunset with her.
Raven's Quest - an old-fashioned RPG, still has a lot of dicks, but still a bit lesbian-friendly. Your character is a young forest witch, and basically you can just explore the world, make some decisions and see what will happen. There are kinks like dominance, submission, exhibitionism, bestiality, breeding and many other. What I particularly remember is that you can invite two or three different girls (and girls only) to live with you in your house, with spicy benefits of course.
Venture Seas - an RPG about pirates where you can create your own character of any gender and romance with any of your companions. You can also have captives there and change their sex and appearance using magic potions. And there are a lot of trans and futa girls too.
Also try Deep Vault - a Fallout parody game where you could play as a futa girl banging other women.
Other games with a female protagonist that have some lesbian & trans scenes, but mostly it's straight or bisexual: Void Bound, Overgrown Genesis, Good Girl Gone Bad, Claire's Quest, Jessika's Curse, Luna in the Tavern, Rodinka's Lewd Adventures, The Wind's Disciple, The Fixer, The Island, Lyndaria and the newest Price for Freedom game. Some of them are more open-minded than the others. The first two of this seems the most lgbt-friendly to me, and the third one has an entire lesbian route. You could also try Tentacle Locker, I guess...
Games about futa girls: Hard Times at Sequoia State Park, Syahata's Bad Day, Lust's Cupid. I specifically recommend you to try Sequoia State Park.
Games with femdom (partly): Femtality, Doting Dominatrix, Pure Onyx.
Also you should try anime Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete - it's an ecchi (not a hentai) with zero boys in it - literally 100% of all characters are female. I think you'll especially enjoy episode 10 ;)
I don't really know what exactly you're looking for, but you can also search on my profile page here on itch, if you want to. Maybe you'll find something that fits you..
none of the pictures are working
How do you keep your penis without skipping the prologue?
This project is great, I'm loving the content so far!
Could you you move the Annie date patch into the next update and streamline it? I tried to replace the file, but so far have not been able to get it to work properly.
I'm getting an error after trying to progress to the next day.
The installation via the itch io client stopped working. Just a heads up.
trying to date Annie after taking her to the club the first time, results in a black screen. Ver.2.6.3.
Will try using 2.6.4 to see if that fixes it, but it was a new game on this version.
Edit: was not fixed on 2.6.4
just gone back through older patch notes and saw the thing about Annie in 2.4.7, somehow missed that the first time i read it. Sorry.
how far can you go whit your sister ?
Hi!, ehm i have a question, i download the 2.4.4 full public and the 2.4.7 version, if i wanna play on the 2.4.7 what i have to do? witch document do i have to... move or replace.. or? or what?
Replace the Assertive.html file.
witch one? the 2.4.7 file in to the 2.4.4 file ? or the 2.4.4 file in to the 2.4.7 file version?
Unpack 0.2.4.4, then replace the HTML file with the file fom 0.2.4.7.
oh!!, thnks uwu
installation through the itch.io app doesn't work since the build file is undefined
How do you get the characters to trust you and progress further? There's no option to go further with the characters beyond normal interactions
Working on it. It's a work in progress.
Does this game work in Android?
I don't know anything that would prevent it, but I have not tested it for Android.
There needs to be like a guide or something somewhere because I'm seriously confused why I'm at max friendship and obedience and I can't progress anymore with jill, or travis.
Perhaps you've already noticed these, but I found a few mistakes in the javascript in 0.2.4.7:
Two of them are in the art exhibit in the museum:
The file name for the pregnancy image is "pregnancy exhibition 1.jpg", not "pregnant exhibition 1.jpg"
The domination art has a bad condition, says "if $playerPath = "dom"" instead of "if $playerPath == "dom""
For the Annie aquarium date, the condition used "=" instead of "==". Says:
"if $annie.friendtitle == "Acquaintance" || $annie.friendtitle = "Friend""
Should say:
"if $annie.friendtitle == "Acquaintance" || $annie.friendtitle == "Friend""
Your characters have two stats related to growing the penis... "penisgrowth" and "dickgrowth". All of the positives for growth (such as from enhancecream) are given to the penisgrowth stat, which is never evaluated
Is a way to save going to be added? Evey time i try i get this error message "Saving has been disallowed for this passage".
You can only save in your bedroom by selecting the diary.
Ehm i have a question, how far can you advance through the game?, because I have managed to make everyone in the ofice, the sister and the player a full bimbo with the biggest tits and biggets ass, and also reached the rank of friend with annie and kathy
Is the mall just entirely unfinished with barely anything to do or do I need to unlock more stuff?
I cannot wait for more Pregnancy content to be added. 😘
I noticed there are some pregnancy progression photos in the player folder, is player pregnancy possible as of 2.3.5?
Not yet. Consider it a preview of things to come.
Really needs a guide. No idea how to progress and it's a bit time consuming.
So to be honest I'm kinda obsessed, even though there doesn't seem like tons to do at the moment (to be honest cant tell if im playing wrong or not but i can drug folks just not interact with them much) I'm really looking forward to future updates. has a lot of potential in my opinion, question though am I able to get heels at this moment or is that not a thing yet been trying the mall but it doesn't look to be implemented yet so I was wondering.
Heels are a work in progress (as is most of the game), but at the moment, you can't buy them. Mostly the issue is figuring out what *mechanical* benefit they'll have, beyond just being a character appearance option. I've got a few ideas, just need to properly define it.
As for the game, you're not playing wrong: there's not a lot to do in the game yet. But interaction is the next big push, so hopefully soon there will be more.
glad to hear that, I'm definitely gonna keep an eye out for updates then. definitely looking forward to seeing things get flesh out.
