After trying out a few of the Infinite World games linked here, and making a few edits and additions to one, I decided to try my hand at crafting my own:
Infernal Affairs is a spy vs spy scenario where you find yourself being recruited by a double agent within the National Intelligence Office, the agency you work for. The game starts with you tranquilizing and hypnotizing the agent that attempts to recruit you, Alexandra Knox, to believe she has been successful in recruiting you, and leaving the door open for you to decide whether you would like to turn her in and continue straight forward in your job with the NIO, to work as a double agent for The Guild, or to play both sides against each other and see just how much power you can grab for yourself.
I've provided some basic structure with a couple of agents, higher-ups for the NIO and Guild, and a lab tech, working on advanced gadgets you can turn to your advantage. I did some playtesting, and found that the AI originally interpreted the idea of a spy thriller setting in a pretty punishing way, making most actions fail because too many people on both sides are too cautious to be caught off-guard regardless of how well you plan or prepare. I tried to tone down the difficulty by prompting the AI to consider the player as generally "lucky", which seemed to have made things much more enjoyable, without making it impossible to fail. The game still presents you with missions and obstacles that benefit from clever strategizing, without hitting you with a deus ex machina to stop you dead in your tracks on the 5th turn of a perfectly-executed plan to take control of a suspicious internal affairs agent.
The Nexus Syndicate - The player is a new hire for a brothel at the nexus of the multiverse, allowing them to travel to any world they like and use some good old-fashioned mind control to bend the women there to their will. No programmed secondary characters, since it's designed to be so open world that the player can visit any universe they want, but there is character and item tracking, so that any object or character significant to the story doesn't disappear after a few turns.
Hierarchy - The player is just starting out at a new company in a world where animalistic dominance is the norm. Designed for those who prefer a more aggressive dominance/submission dynamic. You can choose to play as an Alpha, competing with others, dominating and defending your territory, a Beta, trying to thread the needle of securing a place in a company where people are constantly making power moves and trying to climb the ladder, or an ultra-submissive Omega, bending over backwards (and forwards) for anyone making a demand, or attaching yourself to a powerful Alpha in hopes that they'll protect and not abuse you. (Unless that's what you're into.)
The Dominion Protocol - You find an abandoned base in the middle of the woods dedicated to the large-scale conversion of people into devoted sex slaves. Converted slaves are generally useful for researching new technologies to improve your abilities to capture more slaves, improve your security to ward of rivals, or make you money to fund your operation. Very much designed to play like The Lilith Device.
The Living Doll Corporation - The player wakes up in a hospital bed somewhere in eastern Europe with no memory of how they got there, and slowly discovers that everything and everyone around them is trying to transform them into a submissive slavegirl to sell to the highest bidder. The player must try to elude, trick, and dominate those around them to avoid being made into a mindless sex slave, and save their friends and escape before they suffer the same fate. Based entirely on Bodywerks, though I haven't seen a great way in Infinite Worlds for a player to change their basic stats using finite collectible items throughout the world, or make the AI understand how to have a player succeed or fail appropriately based on what power-ups have been available.
Pleasuremancer - You are a sorcerer who can control the lust and desires of people after finding out key information about their tastes and kinks. You come from a forgotten branch of a family tree engaged in a generations long battle with the Templar, who are determined to extinguish magic. You have decided to use your anonymity to infiltrate them and take them down from the inside.
Transformagica - You meet a stranger in a bar who challenges you to a strange, erotic card game. When you win your first match of the game, they reveal that the consequences of losing are to be transformed by the winner, and you are initiated into the world of competitive CCG battles where the stakes are your own identity.
Spectrum of Magic - Based on the game College Daze, this one is designed to track a player's use of magic and award experience points specific to the magic type being used, allowing people to level up their abilities more like a traditional stat-raising game.
A Demon in Bed - You've made a deal with a demon to turn you into an incubus, with all the mesmerizing powers that comes with, but you do need to be careful to disguise your nature and not feed from the same victim too often, or you could end up killing them.
Necessity of Invention - A mad scientist origin story. An inventor who has had their ideas passed over one too many times finds themself destitute on the street. Now, fed up with not having their genius recognized and talented enough to do something about it, they've resorted to making hypnotic devices out of trash to take the control of the resources and recognition they know they deserve.
Lives Rewritten - An author, desperately in need of a commission, accepts a clients offer to write an erotic story about a woman finding joy in submission to her partner. Struggling to get the story out quickly, he resorts to using his own relationship as a basis, and is shocked to find that when his girlfriend reads what he's written, she changes to match the fictional version.
Claiming the Cult - You have lived your entire life in a fundamentalist cult, but when the leader dies and you discover that he has been using a mind control device to force everyone to behave according to his whims, in the moments before others arrive, you quickly change the settings to make the women more sexually adventurous and the men oblivious, making your community your own devil's playground, as long as you can keep others from discovering the device and putting an end to your fun.
Learned Behavior - As a college student who changed their major from psychology to religious history, when you discover an ancient spellbook with a recipe for a potion that commands absolute obedience, but only for a few hours, and then the effects are forgotten, you decide to test whether you can use operant conditioning to use that absolute obedience to change a person's behavior after the effects of the potion have worn off... and it only makes sense that you would test that potion on someone you have ready access to - your older sister.
