But what about an awesome adventure that takes place inside your dreams because your dreams are being invaded by an evil entity and if you die in the dream you die for real? :O
The last time that happened to me, it did not go well for the evil entity.

Also, I haven't read most of the posts in this thread, but if you do decide to go the metroidvania route, might I present a few ideas?
I believe it was mentioned before to give her various "forms" where she is under different types of hypnosis. I like this idea, but I'd like to make a suggestion on how to do it. Give each one 3 different actions, plus a jump button (in most cases). Here's some forms and actions I've thought of:
Hypnotized Form (aka default normal form) I like this
Notes: A typical Metroidvania-esque character style. No special passive traits.
Action A: Attacks with a swinging pendulum like a whip.
f Action B: Swings the pendulum around in circles while making a glowing spiral effect.
Action C: Trance. Makes her stare at her own swinging watch with a dazed expression. This causes her Will (health) meter to drop slowly. It's basically a suicide move that has no effect other than to let you see a sexy scene of her being defeated and hypnotized by a nearby enemy. To make useful, exchange will for a massive boost to special meter. Also, does this do a generic ending animation when used not in a boss area, based on the closes non-boss enemy or just based off of the area.
Corrupt Form (demonic, evil Hypno-tan)
Notes: More powerful than other forms, and can double jump due to having demon wings, but also takes more damage from attacks.
Action A: Wave of Darkness melee attack. Does it corrupt?
Action B: Multiple fireballs of darkness projectile attack. Consumes special meter.
Action C: Creates a black hole that draws enemies in. If action A corrupts enemies, you can have this just draw and stun enemies If an enemy comes into contact with it, it gets a dark aura around it and it becomes your familiar until it is killed by an enemy attack How many familiars?. Consumes special meter.
An ultra powerful form might not be appropriate for use... you could have it be accessible only through an in map pick up like the pimpronomicon and dark alters... the difference being that you can use the former once and the later many times. That idea risks bloating the game though. Does getting taken out in this form cause a special end scene?
Bimbo Form (Like, totally hot and sexy Hypno-tan *giggle*)
Notes: Lowered attack and defenses, but gains more EXP and Money What is this used for?
Action A: Blows a kiss, making a heart projectile float out towards enemies.
Action B: Hold the button down to chew bubblegum. Release to blow it, making it slowly float forwards to pop on any enemies it comes into contact with. The longer you hold it, the bigger and more powerful the bubble and subsequent explosion. Consumes special meter. Potential to be used as a platformer if the bubble instead floats downwards until it is stepped on. Potential to be secondary suicide effect, with bubblegum bondage ending scene.
Action C: Does a sexy dance. Nearby weak enemies will throw money at you. Stronger enemies won't be affected, however. Consumes special meter. Does it just effect every enemy on the screen? Do they need special animation or can you just palette swap them pink? Are they stunned and can hypno-tan move?
Robot Form (mecha Hypno-tan)
Notes: Moves slowly and robotically, and can't jump at all, but has the second most powerful attacks (behind Corrupt Form) and the highest defenses. Immune to all environmental effects accept electricity. Sinks into water if water is implemented... whether it can breathe under water or not :|
Action A: Fires a hypnotic ray gun. Long range and powerful. Hold down the button to aim, release to fire. Aim with jump, crouch buttons to toggle between angles. A charging allows over penetration
Action B: Fires rockets from her boobs, which explode into a hypnotic gas with massive effect range. Consumes special meter. The image of rotary barrel breast grenades is amusing to me, especially if they go in a lobbed arc and hit a low ceiling. Would be amusing if other versions of avatar could get incapped by the gas.
Action C: Hypno Virus: Interfaces with electronic devices, hacking them and manipulating them in various ways.
Complicated idea. You have to implement 1-2 other characters or else this is just a garage door opener. Also, what happens if you get nabbed while interfacing with something?
Puppet Form (Hypno-tan on strings)
Notes: Turns into a wooden marionette on strings that hang from the ceiling. Has low stats overall, but has the best vertical movement of any form, and can become nearly invincible.
Action A: Wildly swings around limbs for melee attacking. Potentially, you could re-use the watch whipping animation by having her swing strings. Lengthen the chain, do some palette swapping, remove the watch...
Action B: Gets pulled up to the ceiling by her strings. When you release the button, she is slowly dropped back down (like gliding).
Action C: Her strings get cut and she slumps to the ground, helpless. However, she's so low to the ground that many attacks simply pass over her, and she becomes immune to damage by only physical contact. Press again to fix her strings. Consumes special meter. If a character can crouch this is redundant... assuming the character can crouch :) . Can the avatar move?
Futa Form (Hypno-tan just can't resist stroking her new cock...)
-For some reason this doesn't want to italicize :.o
For the sake of other peoples prefences, may want to implement another palette of this:
Slut Form (Hypno-tan just can't resist stroking her cunt)
In all respects it is the same, except the cum shoots out a bit further and there isn't a gigantic penis involved.
Otherwise interesting because its a form that can have high offensive stats and weak defensive stats. Or that takes constant will damage.
Notes: Faps every step she takes. Walks around like some sort of dick-zombie, dazed and slow moving, taking special care to please her cock.
Action A: Squirts a string of cum. This cum deals moderate damage, but more importantly has a piercing property and also slows enemies down by covering them in jizz. However, it has extremely short range, except when you do...
Action B: Masturbates furiously with a look of pure pleasure on her face. The more she masturbates, the more cum she shoots out with Action A. Consumes special meter.
Action C: Slowly drips cum from the tip of her cock while staring off into space blankly. This cum deals massive damage but it only works from above, but it also passes through passable platforms. If she squats and drops cum directly below her, it's easier to implement the slut idea. If the slut idea gets implemented. It's tricky because the concept of an avatar overcome by lust is really interesting, but it seems like it might require two versions of art if you pursue the futa idea... yeah preferences are that strong.
