HTML - A Photographer's Lies [v1.106.0] [skullcam37]

Started off good but has now descended into a grindy mess. The Core mechanic of photographing girls is boring and takes ages.

Just look at any of the last few pages of comments 90% of it is people getting stuck not knowing how to advance the game.

four out of five.
the game is really good, there are many extraordinary models and once "acquired" taking them to the final scenes is very easy... the story continues quite well and linear too, with only one flaw (here's the star less) in the various achievements of objectives of the various chapters, many times it doesn't say anywhere that you have to unlock all the girls to move forward. you don't know where to find them and there are too many dead spots that are very boring... there isn't a detailed guide, and even the help you should have, often you can't find them, because you haven't unlocked a girl on one side of the game world. it could be improved by allowing the player to see not only the objectives to be achieved in the various chapters, but also a suggestion on how to solve them.

Solid game with major flaws.

This is on the "nearly stopped playing at the beginning" pile because the early game involves taking a lot of photos of clothed girls building up to the small reward of nude pictures. The locations don't do anything at that point either. Just gotta keep clicking. I'm sure the idea is to start small and have the world open up, but the design flaw is in not offering more to tease the player and show them what's coming. I suspect this game might lose people early that would've enjoyed the game.

I persisted though, and things do take off. Characters are introduced, pictures turn into porn clips, a lowly photographer turns into massage parlor owner into brothel owner. It's an (occasionally) hostile takeover of the sex industry. Nice.

The grind though...I don't mind grind but I get the impression I'm more tolerant than others. You're going to be doing a LOT of button clicking repeating shoots in order to build up the required money and to get the scenes out of each girl. There are periods in the game where it feels very much "click click click" and not much else.

Acquiring some girls and progressing the plot is often random guesswork I solved through searching the thread (thanks, F95zone, you always had the answers). There is far too much "You need to talk to this person who is in this location at afternoon on a Tuesday" and then you go "Damn, I only spoke to them there on a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday while I was desperately trying to progress the game and there was no hint they were important anyway". The sign of a good puzzle is that when you see the answer you realise how obvious it should have been. It shouldn't be "Why would I have done that?".

Those criticism out of the way...I've still been following this for several updates now. The biggest plus is the sheer number of women in the game. Okay, most of them are just models and not characters with any depth, but it's an abundance of porn and that's never bad. The plot is definitely a backdrop but it's good enough to provide motivation for the main character. The dialogue is well written enough but again typically secondary to the vehicle for more porn.

If you're willing to look up the answers when you need to and put in some button clicking then there's absolutely an enjoyable game in there with more content than most games provide. It's fun, and I'll keep following it, it's just that I think there are fatal flaws that will keep a lot of players from seeing it out. And that's a real shame.

This is mostly a gif generator. You have a list of models, you pick one, and either do photoshoots or porn of them depending on your progression in the game. It's not very interesting beyond the point of getting off.

good scenes and a good game set up. has clear potential to be a 5 star but as of 1.84 it really isnt. not good at creating a unique story and thebiggest worst part of the game is the lack of sound if this replaced all gifs with videos it would be a 5 star

Well-made, lots of content, great selection of sexy photosets. The game even has mods, which let you add 100s more girls, but for a first playthrough, it's probably better to play it vanilla. Giving this a score is a bit hard since I kind of enjoyed it until I suddenly didn't. Quite a few hours of entertainment at the start, but it suddenly shot past my repetition threshold HARD at a certain point and I abandoned it before finishing.

If there's one word that sums this game up, it's grind. The sheer amount is going to be a deal-breaker for a lot of people. There's an overall objective system with chapters, and this gives you a goal to pursue. You'll unlock new locations that can be upgraded and give some variation along the way (studio, then massage parlor, then brothel and so on) but they all generally follow the same template. Still, this part of the game is pretty good and you'll be trudging along at a steady pace, with new girls and scenes being unlocked as you go. There's also some dialog with the girls which I felt was really well done. It manages to give some character and context to the girls, without being overly verbose, and if you like you can just look at the pictures.

So, back to the grind. I generally like some repetition as long as:
- the game makes you feel like you're making steady progress
- don't need to repeat the exact same action a ridiculous amount of times.
- actions feel somewhat meaningful
- game serves you some new content/variation at a somewhat steady pace.

Unfortunately, this game kind of fails at that. It isn't the grind so much as the sheer feeling of pointless repetition. It got really infuriating once I got to the city studio part. You'll be repeating the exact same menu actions for several in-game days with potentially no gain. There's no bad luck protection, so you'll potentially be repeating the exact same menu clicks hundreds of times or more to complete a picture set and be able to advance. When the menu layout itself is also infuriatingly clunky, with lots of sub menus you need to navigate in and out of, the game exceeded my level of tolerance and I just tapped out and couldn't be bothered any more. All these sub menus should have been a single screen. To top it all off, you can generally take two "actions" per day (AM & PM) so you get some navigational clicks to/from bed at the start and end of each day as an increasingly tedious bonus as the game drags along.

So, yeah. In the end I feel the game is really well made, but the repetition killed me. Give it a shot if you're into games that let you upgrade, collect and unlock things, and you're not afraid of repetition.

For an HTML game there's a suprising amount of content here. Gameplay consists of unlocking new contacts that you have to get to know better to unlock new, saucy content with a decent amount of side content, like managing a strip club, brothel and special events. Story is slightly above average but makes sense and is more down to earth then a majority of similar games. There is a bit of grind here and there, but the grind usually rewards more content.

Collections were added a few months back which allow you to view images that you've already unlocked and gives you a good reason to go back to older shoots and collect them all, instead of just spamming the highest comfort gaining shoots.

A recent update added more management options with a new studio. This new studio allow you to hire models that you can do shoots with to try and collect all the pictures in a shoot to earn more money when they are sold. Market value for collections is a thing and that requires a bit more thought to how to make money as trying to sell the same set too soon decreases the value. it's suprisingly addictive to try and get those last few images you're missing.

One thing unique to this game that gives it a high score from me compared to other HTML games is the moddability. There are a couple of modders who have added many more models to the game that you will never get bored. Highly recommended.

Really grindy but the content makes it worth it. Its kinda like the company where theres so much you dont know wtf to work towards. I dig all the girls and different businesses, though a lot of the other locations feel underused. I wasted a morning playing it, it was straight to me

V1.34.0:
-Nice graphics.
-With sound it would be excelllent.
-Very fun game, hope that the game will be updated
-Scenes are very good
-Played it more than 5 hours straight
-Missing some of my fav pornstars like Jessa Rhodes and Krissy Lynn (love to see them in future update

There is no strategy and the management part is only on the surface.
The "stages" you can unlock may give the slight feel of a game.

Appart from that it's just a lot of clicks to see the same pictures over and over again and can hardly be called a game.

I really wonder where those 4 stars come from.

It's more of a slideshow than a game. The grind is boring, the girls are characterless, some mechanics like city travel are useless. There is no management of resources, no real corruption... All in all, it's not much different from browsing for porn pics yourself

A great game, starting from a simple promise and developing in an interesting and daring resource managing game. It never rises to a fully challenging game, but that is probably not what people seeking a porn game are looking for. The models are gorgeous and varied, the flow of the game is steady with minimal (although not completely absent) grinding which continually rewards the player with new nice images of the models. The UI is simple and effective. The story is not overly complex, but more interesting than "meet these girls and just fuck them all".

Thanks for the great game skullcam37!

I like this one. It's simple, but it gives growing challenges and has a pretty good flow. The TITLE makes no sense, since telling the truth seems to be the winning strategy anyway, but yeah. Clean UI, clean navigation, very solid HTML title.

It's not a bad game at all, but it does get a bit repetitive as others have said. There's a lot of potential with this game and with a few more story lines, this would be even more fun. The ideas are great and can't wait to see it implemented.

I will admit, I kind of would like the mechanics to change a bit where it's not so repetitive and looping. Maybe a few conversations to move along the comfort points or "choosing" the best angles or outfit in a photoshoot based on the girl's hints or something.

Otherwise, this is an overall fun game with lots of potential.

There's no much as far as story goes, but it has a decent amount of content for what it is. The biggest issue is how girls go from a regular photoshoot to porn in a matter of days. The game doesn't provide much of a challenge and you're gonna spend most of your time grinding your way towards unlocking all the scenes on every girl.

tl;dr just fine if all you want is a quick wank.

For an HTML game, I say this one is excellent, especially for my tastes, ie: management, incest, and bimbofacation
The grind can get a bit much but it is still many times better than most out there, IMHO. Thank you.

Really like real porn HTML games. This one not so much. All the real action starts before the game begins, so the first girl you meet ends up posing nude for you in under 3 minutes. Sorry, I can download porn in less time. I play these games for a bit of a challenge. Hope this gets modified in the future but for now, too easy

It's a fun game, I like the flow of it! The story is good, it makes sense. The content is nice. I am looking forward to more updates. Keep up the good work!!!! It's a fun game, I like the flow of it!

I really love the concept behind the game and it's pretty well put together. The grind is a bit annoying at the beginning, but eventually you make enough money that it's not a concern. While I really enjoy adding all the new girls, I'd like to see a bit more narrative and story rather than just clips. The Stella and Cherie parts are the best in the game, and I'd love to see more of that (and even deeper content) for some of the other girls already in your contacts, or the various girls working around town. Most of the girls don't have much personality after your very first interaction with them.

I love how it's being contantly updated. I also enjoy the cast of characters used so seing new ones I know is always enjoyable! I would honestly recomend anyone who has played this to come back once in a while and see the new ideas that have been added.
