There were some things I liked about this game, but overall it's a thumbs down. I liked the ability to move the camera around. The story started out OK, but I lost interest as it progressed. The sex scenes were decent. The artwork was average at best. As far as game play, there wasn't any. This should be in the category of VN. The pleasure/intensity bar was mostly an annoyance. My biggest complaint was that the speech volume was based on the camera distance from the character. Every time I got close to one person, I could not hear the other.

I have to say i was impatient to try this game after playing almost all other games of this dev, but it was a disappointment. It's lacking life, the characters giving the impression to be robots during the dialogues. There are display bugs too, like a dick going through the dead of Angela, for example. So, even if the main character is really pretty, i was often bored and in a hurry to complete the game to play something else.

This is one of those games I wish Steam had a "Maybe" button of some kind for. First off, its a linear story with no real decisions. So not an actual game. However, you do get to adjust the lighting, angles and some other items during scenes. That's kind of cool. The voice acting is some of the best I've come across in a VN and the models are really well done. The things that detract from the experience are that everything is SLOW. The talking, the walking, sometimes the buildup during scenes, though mostly this part is well done. I'm hoping this is just the initial work into expanding this type of engine into a more choice driven format.

This game is a biggest disappointing in my life. I even asked to refund, but unfortunately two weeks have been passed already. It is just ugly plastic "story" with the the dumbest game mechanic and disgusting flat characters. The idea to make "novel story" is 3d crashed about completely emotionless characters and ugly animation of whatever they do. Back in 2011, developers were able to make emotions on characters faces, but not in 2022. And it's a big fail, especially taking into account the game context.

*Warning 18+*
Angel's Awakening is a Noir-style interactive erotic story. Taking place in the 1940s, you follow the story of a sexy yet nieve librarian who is on a search for her best friend. She enlists Detective Malone to help on this search, which will bring them to places and acts of a sexually nature that she wouldn't normally consider. The graphics are really good, as well as the voice acting. My god, the voice acting is actually really fing good. And the sex scenes and the animation, like this is the diamond in the rough, one in a million, good adult games on steam in my option. But I'm starting to think i'm bias for sex cult games at this point.

Okay--what this game does well, it does really well. The 3D walk-through style is refreshing for this genre, and the free-cam option is nice. The girls are pretty and willing, and in fact, pretty willing, and Miss Angel is certainly a fun girl.
I'm sick of listening to the detective tell her how she doesn't have to do this every da**ed scene, then tell her how great she is at it when she's finished. He feels protective over her for no good reason, and it would be such an easy add to the story--"she's the daughter of my former partner who was killed in the line of duty." There. It's hackneyed, but the VN genre doesn't seem to care about that. At least AA has no horny college students--that's a relief.
There are no choices in this. None. You can change sex positions in some of the scenes, but that has no effect on the outcome. All "cum" scenes will happen at max intensity no matter what you were set on when you selected the button. You interact with nothing except for a camera and a roll of film [/spoiler] (which you will find in the bedroom and on the hallway table, respectively), [/spoiler] and I have no idea why the Dev bothered to put that in. The same thing happens for the ONLY choice you have in the game--you can "f**k her" or "make love to her." but the outcome doesn't seem to change. You watch the story play out in front of you with no choices to effect the outcome at all. It would be nice to have a few at least in the sex scenes, but there are none there either. It's like watching a movie that requires you to mouse-click to progress it.
I don't know what happened in the orgy scene, but whatever came out of those penises and landed on that girl's face was not human--it was not close to human. This looked like something I would expect to find in a Wii sex game, if there were such a thing as Wii sex. (there should be.)
The voice acting for the females is really good. The emotions are true to the scene, and at times cute enough to be funny. The actor for the detective seems to have a very large stick rammed in an uncomfortable place and someone, for some unknown reason, twists that stick right before the actor speaks, perhaps not painfully, just enough to remind the actor that there is a rather large object shoved up there, and he needs to speak as if that's true. Just a theory, mind you, but one that explains everything. The guy sounds like a detective from a 1940's film--which he's supposed to, I get it--but he sounds too much like one, if that makes sense. He's over the top with it and it almost turns this into a spoof of itself, which it's otherwise not trying to be. Right now, he sounds like Dick Tracey OD'ing on testosterone.
This has the feel of a young Dev working out the kinks in his talent, and if that's true, it's an outstanding job. It's not 100%, but the good parts far outweigh the bad. Angel is cute, sweet, and she has a great butt. What more could you ask for?

Unfortunately its a bid disappointing.

Pros :

Voice acting is surprisingly good.
About the only saving grace.

Cons :

Not really any choices. This might have been better as a movie than a game, interaction that you have doesn't really matter at all.
Characters are low poly and look really dated.

I would give a mixed rating if I could.

If you loved Mandys room you will like this i think this is a bit slower than mandys room but its a big step up from that game am not sure what i found slow or boring maybe the game play was slow not sure but anyway its a good game to play

Nice idea, poorly executed, and painfully boring. My recurring thought through the 3 hours I could tolerate it was "God...this is stupid!". From the model rendering, to the animation, to the story in general, everything felt robotic. No heart and soul here. Nice they have speaking parts, too bad it sounds like bad actors being paid minimum wage to read a dreadful script. Like I said, from the speaking parts, to the rotating camera, to attempts to get you involved in the intimacy, it was a nice idea, but painful to endure. It doesn't take long to realize you don't much care about any of it.

I liked some parts of the game but overall its disappointing. The story is not really great.
Its about a "good"/"shy" girl. however she is running around without panties from the start. If something has pulse, she is doing it. Like 20 times, day & night. well, atleast It serves its purpose. Anyway, graphics are not good enough to get you in the mood, and story is kinda meh, NPC's missing some euh.. parts, gamplay & replayability is absent. So there is not alot there to enjoy.
The voice actors did a great job tough.

It was enjoyable for a single playthrough, but I doubt a second playthrough is likely anytime soon.

I don't regret buying it, neither am I looking forward to a sequel.

If you have the time and money to spare it's worth a playthrough, but you won't be missing much if you pass either.

A solid, pleasant game. Especially if you appreciate its art style.

Is this game perfect? Absolutely not.

However, I personally really enjoyed my experience. The noir detective twist of the story was of interest to me and the option to play in two visual modes was a nice little caring touch. Additionally, the music was also noticeably enjoyable, really helping to portray the time period in which it is placed.
All things considered the voice acting is decent as well as the ability to be able to move the camera completely around during scenes; allowing you to look at any angle you’d like as well as adjust the lighting and so forth. This is not something I’ve typically seen done in this way in many “adult” games, so for me it was a nice factor.

This particular game is a huge step in the right direction as far as the games HFTGames has made, a direction I hope continues to grow and move forward. If you like these type of games as well as the time period it takes place in, I would recommend giving this piece a chance. I wouldn’t replay it, but for the price and what it is the experience is quite pleasant. I personally felt like it was well worth the time I spent playing it. ♥

I've requested a refund. There aren't subtitles available, you can't adjust any gameplay settings whatsoever (but apparantly they made the effort where you can change multiple VISUAL settings that you usually wouldn't bother doing anyway???) and for a game made in 2022, the visuals are just so... stale.

Simulation game. Good voice acting. Not impressed with animations. Story line mediocre. Less about Angel's Awakening and more about how many people she can be with at one time. Angel was already awakened when she began looking for her friend.

You play nick valentine, Nick valentine get's immediately Cucked. Quit pretty quick maybe it changes and nick valentine gets laid but as soon as he got cucked I was done. Also innocent sweet heart girl who hires you immediately turns into a whore for like no reason at all. She immediately asks the guy who supposedly kidnapped her friend if she could suck him off entirely unprompted he didn't even ask. its like some really cheesy porno writing except the weird porn guys could write better. clearly not the vibe they were trying to go for but it's what they did..... Also boring and slow, wish it was tedious because then I would actually be playing something. basically a boring 3d movie with shit camera controls. They have these super long drawn out conversations but they didnt set up any shots to make it look cinematic and most characters dont really move or do things during conversations they just kind of stay in position till the next scene.... voice acting was pretty good and the visuals werent horrible but it's a stupid "game" do not recommend. The developers other game is not the best either but I would suggest it over this.

Quite refreshing for a game of this genre. Though the dialogue may be cheesy, it kind of fits the whole "detective noir" style it's got going for it. The voice acting was actually pretty good for the most part, especially Angela. I had fun with the free camera, though I mostly just took it inside the character models and out of bounds when I got a little bored during the cutscenes. I like that Angela was willing and eager for all her scenes, and it was kind of cute watching her open up.

It's a little slow at times, but if you like a little plot with your pron, I highly recommend.

If I had a criticism, it would be that while there was no shortage of lesbian action, there was never any sort of male on male acts, even in the grande finale where there could have been at least one couple. Having one without the other feels a bit weird. Otherwise 8/10.

I do not agree with almost all of the reviews for this game. Interactive my ass. The ability to skip a scene you do not care to see does not exist. Most of the scenes take FOREVER to finish. The females look like sex dolls and/or androids. The story line is complete garbage. They make sure the game takes forever so you can't ask for a refund.

Like I stated, it's impossible to skip ANY of the sex scenes. It doesn't matter if you want to or not, it's impossible. When you get to the end of a sex scene and you click on the "Finish" button just know that the scene might finish in 3 to 5 minutes, Another annoying feature is the walking pace. JESUS HOLY FLIPPIN' F U C KIN' PANCAKES! F u c king dead people rot faster than the character walks. It really is a bad investment for your hard earned money. There is no way I can give this a positive review.

You really do not have to trust what I and a few others have stated negatively about the game as it's your money. Just trying to keep some from making the mistake we did.

Solid plot and period piece, I don't know why anyone would want to try to speed run an erotic game just to get to their particular flavor, this has a bit for everyone. Not perfect by any means but a strong first of it's kind, i'd like the option to switch between preset angles in the future, it's a floaty cam, you're definitely going to Casper your way into someone head and give yourself a heart attack.
Looking forward to whatever else this developer has in store.

A disappointment.

I was initially excited for the refreshing art design and (what I imagined to be) an interesting story. But in the end, this just feels like a cheap demo of what it could have been. Here are a few main thoughts:

- Some people are complaining about the lack of subtitles, and I agree. I just don't think it's justified to leave it out. What if I want to play the game on mute (you can imagine what reasons I have for that)? How about people with hearing disabilities? And sometimes I just cannot make out what the characters say, so subtitles would really help me in following the plot. It was a mistake to not have subtitles.

- There is no clipping almost anywhere! It means that you can move the camera anywhere, literally anywhere. This is bad because it pulls you out of the immersion when you see that the characters are just a bunch of textures, and the environments are ultimately really simplistic. Moreover, when you are walking around as the characters, they don't have any clipping either! So you can walk through various objects ...

Also, there are a bunch of other graphical glitches. For example, the windowed mode is buggy, and jiggle physics are also broken. Not good, it starts to feel like a demo ...

- The story is really simple, repetitive and predictable. There is nothing that really grabs your attention in the story. I started to browse news to pass the boring dialogs ...

- Voice acting is a bit hit and miss. The actors probably tried their best, but still it comes out a bit contrived.

- The adult scenes are ... ok. There is a bit of interaction, which is nice, and again you can move the camera around freely. So it's not bad. But some of the controls are not explained very well and I actually got stuck at least once when I didn't know what to do.

- Another oversight from the developers is that you can access the scene menu at any point in the game. In other words, you can see in advance what is coming, ultimately spoiling the plot. Another grave design mistake.

- Perhaps the best part of the game is the imagination that went into the adult scenes. There are a few interesting scenes that are worth seeing.

TLDR: Mostly disappointing, feels like a rushed demo.

Wait a minute, this game speaks the story of my life, highly suspicious. Those birds peeking into my window every day must be spies made by this developer! Also, on a less important note, graphics and animations are aight at best, but good for this price. Everything else is nothing to complain about, finally an wholesome Sex Cult story for a change.

Honestly, I wanted to like this, but it barely qualifies as a game. There are no meaningful choices. It's basically an animated porn movie. People talk, which leads to a sex scene. You can move the camera around, but that's about it. There are no dialogue options (though it pretends there are by letting you click a question to ask, but usually you're choosing 1 of 1 option, or you have to select all options before the scene advances). Sometimes, you have to walk the character through an area to get to the next scene, but you can't interact with anything, there are no optional conversation, you just move to the next point rather than watching an animation of walking.

The sex scenes themselves are sort of diverse, but you have next to no control. They have sliders to control the lighting, you can move the camera angle, and there is usually one slider that controls pacing between Slow, Medium, Fast. Bars fill up at the bottom of the screen to pretend like it's a game you're controlling, but it's basically just "How long do you want this scene to last" and "How vigorous do you wan them to go at it?" Click button to finish. Sometimes, 1 button lets you switch between 2 static positions. The animation quality is very good for 3D models, but it gets boring quickly because you can't do anything but watch them do their thing. It makes VNs look good by comparison.

Worst of all, there are no subtitles, and no dialogue skip options. When you choose to skip (Which isn't always available) you skip the entire scene, not just the current line of dialogue, which I guess is fine, since you can't read ahead, you have to listen to the voice acting. 50% of the game is watching 2 3D models stand and talk to eachother while playing a minor idle animation. I would love to be able to speed read and skip to the next line, but I ended up starting a scene, alt + tabbing to do something else while they talk for several minutes, then tabbing back when some input was required to continue. You can't go back if you missed something without replaying the entire scene from scratch.

The voice acting is pretty mediocre. The main character "Angel" is there only performance that felt really good. The main male character is *baaaaad* and most the other characters are chewing the scenery hammy, which is fine, but again, can't skip a line of dialogue or fast forward.

Ultimately, I don't recommend because it felt like a slow, poorly acted, porn movie (so... you know... a *porn movie*) without the ability to move freely forward and backward through the scenes. The ability to move the camera freely and speed up the action slightly was kinda interesting, and it features and novel escalation of scenarios, but the bit wore thin quickly, and I don't see myself going back to replay or even rewatch scenes, especially considering the "Scene Gallery" is replaying each scene, dialogue and all, from the beginning.

Angels Awkening had promise because the plot and time was unique for AVNs . I really want to encourage the creator to expand the possibilities of higher resolution graphics , dialogue , music and motion animation . I give the story a A++. I wanted Angel to be able to interact with more party guests even if it was a short time . let her flirt with other women or men . Making us wait for her arousal and excitment was very interesting at first but i wanted more variation in screens not just her moaning for 10 mins . Get in close like other great AVNs. Look at being a DIK , Isabella/MC sez scene was probobly one of the best ive seen in any AVN because of the varity of scenes . I love when a AVN that suprises me and this one did , It just didnt go to the Moon like i hoped it would as far as scenes. I know the Bar for a great AVN is high with DR. Pinkcake and others but there is room for more creators . Keep improving.

This is the first NSFW game I played that actually feels like they understood the assignment. Instead of renders of the same 3D models, you get control of the camera and periodic control of the characters. If it was longer, it might've dethroned Treasure of Nadia as the best adult game I've played.

This game reminds me of 1985 film "Trashy Lady," an adult movie produced at the end of the Golden Age of Porn. Like "Trashy Lady," it is a visual masterpiece about the sexual awakening of a girl, with the major differences being this game takes place in the 1940s (instead of the Roaring 20s) and does not involve the criminal underworld (well... at least not much of it). Story-wise, the writing is good enough, though it's nothing to write home about. I do feel detective Malone is a bit too much of a bystander in his own game and would have liked seeing the romantic subplot between him and Angel as something like an optional path. There is also one glaring historical inaccuracy: rock and roll did not exist in the 1940s.

Visually, as mentioned, this game is a masterpiece. We need more 3D adult games with a strong focus on lighting and visual style. The animations are smooth and blend nicely into each other, and there is soft body physics on the genitals (!). That said, it's not perfect: there are instances where the hands and bits of clothing clip through each other, and the daytime scenes are somewhat lacking (this is especially glaring with the grass).

The sound is rich and crisp, the voice acting is professional, and the jazz music made the game relaxing outside the sex scenes. Like the visuals, there are still issue: the volume changes drastically, ranging from nearly inaudible in some third person scenes to borderline deafening in the first person scenes. Subtitles would have been nice.

The best part of the game for me was the photoshoot. As a photographer, I had a lot of fun composing shots of Angel. I had even more fun composing shots of the sex scenes. The game is basically a boudoir and erotic photography simulator; you can adjust the lighting, vignetting, film grain, and coloration. I actually wish this game was about an erotic photographer who can romance his models.

Final verdict: diamond in the rough.

Holy cow. Now this, this is how you make a NSFW game. Angel's Awakening makes other developers look like cheapskates and their game like outdated relics. This game sets the standard for what a great NSFW game should be in 2022 and forward.

Pros:

- Compelling and original plot;
- Film noir style (optional), coupled with quality graphics (i.e., excellent visuals);
- A riveting music score that captures the film noir style, the era, and the sentiments of each particular scene;
- Professional voice actors that bring the characters to life and accentuate intimate scenes;
- Limited ability to control the characters in some scenes (both SFW and NSFW); and
- NSFW scenes are are gorgeous and sensuous (i.e., fappable);
- For NSFW scenes, you have to balance the intensity of the act with the character's feelings which reinforces your involvement in the main character's development (i.e., her lust); and
- Coherent English is spoken and written.

Cons:

- Some glitches when trying to choose dialogue options;
- Mouse cursor becomes inoperable at times but you can get out of that glitch by hitting esc;
- Some out of sync dialogue;
- You can't personally save a point in a game but you can return to the scene by returning to the "main menu" and going into "scenes."

* I also don't fault the developer for only providing English language options. The store page clearly notes English language only.

All in all, I would recommend buying this game at full price and supporting the developer. We need more quality games like Angel's Awakening. Notice they didn't approach the consumer with a "beta" that fell short. They came out with an excellent product and any flaws are minor.

only half way into game story.... Thumbs up for all the work put into video. it's that effort that bring game into approval status. I really cant support this game though; Its story line a very BETA male. Your detective is a ride along cu k, to girls sexual awakening. Poorly voiced, but forgivable, more than most of these style games. The language and attire is from a perspective of a modern 20 year old on how 30/40's would look and feel. ie. Malone tells, Angela to dress risque to meet a mobster... tells her to vamp it up, only a modern audience will get that. No one in 50/60/70's would even say that. That's a goth term. Your detective walks around in a crappy hat, a wanna be Fedora, and never puts on a jacket or coat... just walks around in a shirt and suspenders. Which is considered rude at the time btw. Suspenders/braces are usually covered. a vest or jacket would do. and the 'vamp' it up style or walking 'sexy' in public!? isn't done. Sexy is for behind closed doors. Its why leg exposure or 'gams' was sexy and provocative. But yes, its just a game.... With what point to make!? Detective hasn't made any choices, and doesn't do any detecting. Just a story bit, to explain why a guy character exists and we get brought along for cu k performances.. well played in really long videos... with no skip or ffwd options. in long run, a well video'd story of cu k holding in a NOIR package. So if being BETA is our thing, VERY POSITIVE would be a rating for you. I just cant.

A short but high quality visual novel style game that demonstrates yet another improvement over previous HFTGames in the franchise. If you want to see more high quality games, support these devs.

Pros:
- Very high quality texture environment, almost too high quality, it's photo realistic. Good quality models but I feel the clothing and models themselves need the bar raised a bit in this department rather than having perfect environmental graphics.
- Decent story, but I would have liked to see some twists, some more romance.
- Great sex scenes, kissing.
- Voice acting is top notch as always and I really enjoyed the detective's character and voice over especially.

General thoughts
- Towards the end there were surprisingly animations (outside sexual), like dancing and playing a piano, it felt like at this moment I was playing a different game, it brought more life to the scene. Devs take note.
- Playtime to complete: 4.5 hours. Would have liked to see 6+ hrs.
- Character model quality needs improvement, including the design of the face, I don't know if it's the dead eye look or the expression but I feel there is room for growth in this area.

Cons:
- A few bugs, like the checkbox setting in opposite polarity to the function in some scenes, walking through doors and falling through the floor, can be fixed by going back to menu.
- Game is very dark! Easy to workaround using ESC which gives you direct access to the settings.
- Minor clipping on some clothing, no biggie.
- No facial expressions, I hope that in future games this area is given attention.

All in all I did enjoy it kinda, but I do enjoy more playing games where you can do stuff, collect items, level up etc like in Wanderlust, just wish that had a generation above in policy/quality and proper endgame. Waiting patiently for the devs to make something superb in the future again.

Cheers

Visuals - The environment is of high quality, but the models and clothing were not given as much attention. It's odd that the environment is of high texture quality, yet the models and clothing were given far less attention. It seemed that most of the attention for the models was given to their private bits and faces, with the clothing looking very bare basic.

Voice Acting - The vocals during intimate scenes are very well done, none of your "Oh my gawd, it's sooo little" here. The voice lines though were quite bland at times and made me cringe.

Intimate scenes - The main reason you are here.. you have to move a lever to control the intensity. Everything is fairly easy to understand and there isn't much room for messing up. You can change the lighting and often make the legs open wider. They can get you in the mood if you allow them to.. but, they can also growing boring quite quickly. Most of the good stuff was blocked with the angles presented, but the audio is really good.

Story - I quickly grew tired of it and tried to skip forward, but there is quite a bit you are forced to hear. I could care less about Detective Malone' s monologues. I got nearly half way through the story before deciding that the game wasn't for me, which took me about 70 minutes. However, I had started to skip some of the dialogue. No detective work is actually performed, you just got this guy that follows the girl as some sort of bodyguard for the story and providing lame lines. You get 3 lesbian scenes in a row and he is literally like "I see they got along." Wakes up 2 hours later and finds them still at it. "Wow, they must really be getting along." It wasn't that exact line, but you get the sentiment. It honestly takes away from the mood and makes everything really cheesy. The game is just an intimate visual novel that lets you move the camera, walk, move sliders, and occasionally skip dialogue.

Issues - The game is glitchy at times with mouse cursor not wanting to work (hitting esc to pull up settings and resuming usually fixes the issue). Lots of clipping with clothing, skin, and walking through people. Moving around in the game is honestly a chore.

Chapters - There are 22 chapters according to the scenes's list. The final 5 chapters have orgy in the title.

Good game

All visual novels makers should play this game and step up to the next level. No it's not a perfect game such as- in game glitches

Story line was cheesy at times but since it's based off a 30-40's detective movie i'll give them a pass on this.
Some clothing and poses did not look like right or was not given enough thought in rendering.
Some NPC had no movement at all so they looked like statues at times. Example just walk up to a maid and you will see what i'm talking about.
Some poses during sex hindered you looking around for the best bits. Sperm rendering was one of the worst I've seen and I only saw it one time in the game, no vaginal secretion during sex made the model look plastic at times.
Anyways you get my point right?

For all the bad things I could point out in the game they made a "movie" you can walk around in and interact. In my humble opinion this is were visual novels should be reaching for.

Thank you for making a good game I do hope you will make a part two of ANGEL'S AWAKENING!

I wasn't sure if I want to buy this game. No regrets now. Fully featured real-time 3D rendering adult game with a good story for such a price.
Store are genially good for me, but it's a bit on art house movies side. It's a light novel inspired by Eyes Wide Shut in Noir era. Main character are shy little girl that doesn't wear panties in a public, but wears at bed (just silly). You will bang your way to find your missing slutty sister neighbour with a help of cuckold gentlemen detective bodyguard that you hire. This isn't a sandbox and there no free roaming. There aren't many mechanics because of railroad storytelling, but there will be a photoshot and dressings. Gameplay will be 50/50 of story telling with amazing voice acting and adult scenes.
Totally there are 20+ adult scenes where you can play with lighting and sometimes poses. Almost every scene contains 2 stages, so I would consider it's a lot. Scenes are pretty light in start and finished with rough stuff at the end, but overall there aren't any weird hardcore stuff or fetishes.
Overall quality are superb for adult game. I took 400+ screenshots on completion. It's need some polish to be perfect: dress and hair clipping, low shadows quality and pose transitions. But I didn't find it distracting enough to affect gameplay.

If you liked HFT's previous titles you will like this one. It is more story telling than running around in an open-ish world.
I think they need to work on the characters' eyes, they blink but they never move. It's kind of creepy.
Other than that, good stuff. I hope in whatever game they make next that they return to making something more open world however. Also, not a huge fan of the noir setting. Much prefer the more modern colorful look of the last games. But, that's just personal preference

I like developer idea but there is gap for improvement.

Visual
-model -> great
-animation -> nice
-texture -> need to improve fluid texture
-lighting & shadow -> acceptable
-building/scene -> need to be more immersive. The light outside detective office is always red no matter the time of day. Plus I notice the red coffee cup that does not suppose to exist on the timeline of the game.

Game-play
-Not much to do just move the camera while conversation. Move protagonist. Select a choice. Click on GUI on the NSFW scene. It could be a lot more interesting if the game is able to explore something, finding a clue to unlock part of story/scene. mini-game on sex scene for reward, etc.
-Movement control of protagonist is too slow.
-Need collision checking for camera, It can penetrate everything.

Story
-voice actor -> cool
-I'm not sure that choices have consequence or not. It feel like a straight line of story. I'm frustrated that my decision does not involve the development of the protagonist.
-some conversation should be able to skip or make it concise.
-btw, I like the composition of the story. It included...
Gender
M/f, MF/f, F/f, F++/f, M++/f, M++/f++
Activities
D/S, female submissive, orgasm control, humiliation, exhibitionist, ENF. Orgy

My score is 5/10. It looks promising but, still can't recommended for now. Hope more improved projects in future.

Brilliantly voiced. Good non stop story. Good graphics. The exploration is quite limited. I am totally in. I qppreciate the effort to create the imagery and the story.

Its a high quality game with a full story in a genre that doesn't typically try to do anything beyond the bare minimum. If more games were made like this we could see a real revolution in the genre.

Obviously it is nothing exceptional by mainstream standards, but you can tell the dev team put some time into this, and the voice actors cared enough to try and get into their characters instead of just phoning in lines while bored.

Due to Steam's abusive and punitive rule enforcement policy I no longer post game reviews or screenshots to the "global community." But I do highly recommend this game!

So you're browsing through the adult section of steam and you come across this game. I will first off state this is more of an adult interactive cinematic 3D experience rather than a video game. At the same time it is definitely way more than a stupid graphic novel in which case you flip through still pictures and and read dumb dialogue. it is definitely light years Beyond the adult graphic novels which I do not count as a video game at all. For the people that gave this game or AKA experience a terrible rating. I only can imagine what kind of rating they give the stupid graphic novels that should be taken off of steam and do not count as a video game at all. As for the texturing on the characters I can see some opinions would be biased however, I think they look very good and they look in the manner that they do because they're meant to be a cartoon art style which is not because they have crappy textures it's because that's what the artists were going for. this game actually has phenomenal graphics and pushes my RTX 3090 to 387 w which I didn't even know that it could go to the acting is superb and hilarious it keeps asking me that I can skip the dialogue and I can't get enough of the dialogue because it is spoken to me out loud and there's no reading here ladies and gentlemen ,we need more games like this. this game completely destroys wonderlust or whatever the hell it was called, the developers previous game I thought it was terrible unlike the rest of steam. But this neurotic 3D interactive experience is a genre defined title and sets the bar for a whole new generation of adult games to bow down to. If you're used to the stupid graphic novels this game will completely blow you away.

It's an interesting take on the erotic VN game. I defently recomend playing this game to anyone. The story even tho it's quite short, is good too. Over all I would give this game 6/10. It would have got 10/10 if it was more polished.

However if there is a sequal to this game I hope to see more resources put into animating the faces. I rather have less aria to move the camera in and more focused on animating the characters facal and body language to express more emotions. Also the voice over was refreching, but it could not hurt to get better voice actors next time. They have a bit to learn if they some day like to win an Oscar for there voice acting, to put it mildly.

I really would like to see a AAA $80 version of this game with some actual game play in it, maybe a few detective puzle game play like in Rockstars LA Noire, including a story that last at least 20 to 30 hours.

This game plays like your the Director of a High budget Adult film. From being able to change the Lighting To Camera Control to the Film Style you prefer to view the game in. The Interface is intuitive and easy to use. The Graphics, Art, Voice and Animation is top notch! The Story is Interesting and engaging! Every Encounter has an obvious purpose and clearly advances the story. Too many other Adult games seem to throw encounters in without serving a purpose to the story. In this game Story and Encounters are all well done and very erotic. I will definitely play this many times!

I just want to start by saying I'm not big on Visual Novels but with that being said, if you are one of those people that do enjoy them then this might be the best of its kind as it's not just still images clicking 'Next' to further to conversation. This is a fully 3D interactive kind of game with moments of actual control to walk through areas of the game so with that being said, I recommend this.

I could't find anything that I liked about this game. Most of all was the dialog. It was so tedious that I started to use the skipping feature hoping it would help get me through this. Spend some money on some decent writing

This is not your standard VN. The main protagonist and any sex partner are fully rendered 3D actors which you can change the camera angle at will. 100% voice acting which I believe is on par with just about any AAA title I have ever played. The writing is done in a film noir fashion and is very good. The plot, while a little contrived, is serviceable enough and you don't really notice it's very minor shortcomings due to the voice acting and other strong points of the game. I have played 3 hours and I am a fraction over the 1/2 way mark.

The controls are simple enough, though not completely intuitive and for the most part stay out of the way of you enjoyment of the story being brought to life. This is not a perfect game but there is so little to complain about here, and nothing that stands out allowing the fantastic voice acting and very good modeling to shine.

Not a fan of the story but not the worst one out there don't see the point of the Detective, and he starts as a MC but you really have no control over the choices he makes. Which is frustrating.
movement mechanics is really clunky and you can get stuck on the smallest things whilst just walking around. Although Angel walking naked looks awesome.

I don't think this game is value for money due to
1. the movement issues around the environment and
2. the camera mechanic are really touchy.
3. Story is slow
4. Scenes are laborious to watch and play
5. Scenes have limited choices for players

Will acknowledge that the game being fully animated is a difficult task for any developer but I just think that with what you pay for the game it should be a little more polished.

Short but Sweet. This is the direction Adult games need to go. Once the development and game engine catch up to triple "A" level. This genera will take off....👀

The writing is cheesy af! Game breaking when I hear a masculine voice say, "panties" with a crap accent! Expect clipping and poor graphics, hair sticking out of hats and etc..

I love what you guys have made! for the life of me i was shocked to find out it was fully voice acted and not like all the other VAs out there! TBH i was playing it from a cracked version but i was like nah they definitely deserve my money for this! hats off to them!
Only issue with me is that when you skip a conversation it skips the whole thing, there is no way to speed that process up. But i can understand why that maybe the case ...a show of respect for the VAs hard work! still to be able to hear the story and not have to wait for the time gap between response would make its less frustrating.... or maybe thats jus me who has gotten used to cookie clicking all the AVAs...lol
Its a really high bar you set for yourselves... hope the next one is just as great!

Not sure what to say about this game, I think they had a good idea but lost patience during development. Story is shallow and progression doesn't make much sense, characters are cookie cutters, a lot of times I wished I can just skip the videos/scenes but there was no options to do that. Pace is very slow and you can only walk slowly when you have control of the character. There is almost no interaction with the environment. Sex scenes are like videos that you can see from different angles and have limited control, the visibility is not well done. The voice over is a nice touch but that's about it. I lost interest after less than an hour. Maybe next game from this developer will be better, but this one I cannot recommend.

I loved this Game So Much!!! It had a such erotic storyline. The sex scenes was awesome! i havent played many Adult Games lately but i really liked this one! I just wish there was more lesbian sex scenes. I like the characters and the visuals of the game. I would love to see more games made like this One! Ill give it a 10 star rating! Keep it up! :)

"You don't have to do this." "Amazing," "Wonderful." "I usually don't do this." they are said so many times it's just annoying. The game is highly repetitive. Some scenes can't be skipped and take forever to complete. The idea is nice and different from the average adult game, but the conversation couldn't be duller. The words mentioned above are said tons of times. The conversations are boring. The girls look like mannequins; the sex scenes are pretty bad. There are no details in a females genitals, so being able to roam with the camera is useless.

And i have no clue what the detective is here for.

This is by far one of the best erotic games Ive ever seen. Erotic scenarios, great voice acting, interesting story! Probably the sexiest game I have ever played!

EDIT: So I just finished it. And wow. Just wow. This sets a whole new standard for erotic games.

Scissorhead

One of the most boring "games" I have ever played. I have played many adult games, and this probably one of the worst, stiff animations, long boring monotonous repetitive dialogue, the story is so plain and uninteresting, and the scenes are again, very stiff, no facial expressions, this game was a test of fortitude and one of if not the only adult game I have chosen not to finish. I cannot get through it, and you only get so much life to live, trudging through this game is not worth it.

This is probably the best sex game I've played, but it is not without faults. It has a great vibe and I like the story and progression of things.

Some of the voice acting is cheesy (though not Angel). The script is pretty good for the intended purpose, but Angel overcomes her natural shyness and reserved nature a little too easily.

Angel never goes full lesbian- she feels up other women and kisses them, but nothing more. Anyone wanting rimming / anilingus will be disappointed as well.

I would have preferred an ending where Malone (the detective protagonist) walks into the rain alone, sort of a "Forget it Jake. It's Chinatown" vibe, but we can't have everything we want in life.

Some choices with consequences would have been good too; at least to provide more replay value. I think there is only one scene in the game where the player's choice influences the following scene.

As advertised, it's less of a game and more of a "control the view" story, but that's okay. A lot hinges on Angel, and the performance there is very good.

I did think it was funny that some internal parts of female characters are modeled, but not always used (even when they should be).

Looks like a well made game to me, unfortunately my laptop is a work laptop and not suitable for games with a high demand on graphic process.
So I am unable to play it at least on this laptop. I might play it on a different machine in some future.
A pity as it looks like a decent game.

A little slower pace in comparison with their earlier games, but the quality remains very high!

This game is like the hidden levels of Mafia and The Godfather game series.

These devs are awesome and they have done again a masterpiece of an adult game.
