While this game doesn't really take itself seriously it also doesn't have a whole lot to offer, particularly for the time investment. I might say that the game is worth the time if it didn't try so hard to be a game. The game mechanics are completely unnecessary and mostly just involve a timer that forces you to enter extremely long generic scenes to grind points and keep from losing the points you have already accumulated. The points themselves are just for outfit unlocks, which means you can either do an insane amount of grinding at the beginning of the game, or gain outfits near the end when there isn't much use for them. The sex scenes in this game also seem to be geared towards some very specific fetish that I've never even heard of. Casual conversation about mundane topics while engaging in sexual acts might be the fetish, if that's your jam, and if so you will probably really like the game. There are a few good aspects of the game. The graphics are pretty nice, Annie herself looks decent and the sex animations aren't bad and involve a fair number of sexual acts, positions, and situations, although all within the framework of the aforementioned fetish. Overall I consider this game a complete waste of time and I do not recommend it.

I'm actually grateful that the developers made a game where the main location is based on a beach resort, since this topic is the closest to me.
Overall it's a decent game, but it lacks those elements that could make it great and thrilling.. Most of these shortcomings have already been described before me, but I want to write them in my own words as well.
The story consists of welcoming various guests, whom we have to pamper in different sexual way. This seems interesting at first, but after a while it gets boring.
When we wander between two events, there are usually only a few idle npc in the resort, who passively wait for us to interact with them. These npcs are of course voiceless, soulless and each of them has just a simple animation that you can get bored of in about two minutes.
Fortunately the animations of the story are somewhat more demanding, as the scenes are longer and accompanied by voice acting too. However the essence of a story in a game should be that to make the erotic events even more exciting, but since the sex animations here aren't preceded by any kind of build-up (which is responsible for the lovely blueball), the game's sex events will barely have any effect on us. So the whole about some kinetic - forgettable porn which includes some pleasant voice acting.
The problem is that it is difficult to make such prostitution stories interesting and successful, since there aren't too much potential in them.

While rough this is a good game trying something different.

Wish more developers would step outside the Renpy/RPGM comfort zone.

Voice acting? in English!?! yes please (mixing is a bit rubbish, but fine)

To Dev, if ever read. small nit-picks-
Clipping is pretty bad :/
Please give camera movement to right mouse button.

It started pretty well, the first introductory scene was particularly good. But as I progressed in the game, I began to lose my interest more and more, since the story couldn't really be renewed. In fact the final scene was the worst. I just wanted to get over it as quickly as possible.
Despite this I still put the game in the recommended category because of the great animations and the talented voice actors. Maybe this game is perfect for trying something new, and to keep you entertained for a while.

Affectionate Annie is a linked group of short stories featuring a slutty beach resort hostess.

It's really more of an animation showcase than a game. You play as Annie and progress between scenes, each with their own circumstances, but all featuring at least the main character. The individual story segments are reasonably imaginative, but nothing to write home about.

The scenes/animations are pretty good. There's a lot of different positions in a number of different locations around the resort. Annie's voice acting is pretty good, but most of the other characters are downright disastrous. The volume balance on a lot of the voice lines are headphone breakingly brutal.

The fact that walking around the environment and manipulating the camera require both mouse and keyboard is pretty aggravating given what this game is for.

Overall, the game is only worthwhile if you're particularly interested in a slutty beach resort hostess fucking everyone she sees. While the scenes and animations are decent, the story and gameplay are just filler.

The game's greatest strength is the pleasing atmosphere and the explicitly erotic sex scenes. It's unbelievable how much the quality of the game is influenced by a cozy place and the tasteful decoration.
In terms of porn animations I don't know too many games that can compete with HFTGames. This was evident even now as well, but it should be also noted that especially the voice actors make this game unique and unforgettable.

However don't expect a truly complicated story. The devs didn't deliver anything outstanding in this regard, so the game can feel a bit simple because of this. We literally have just sex quests here, and what actually changes are the participants, the dialogue, and the sex positions. This cycle continues until the end of the game. This wouldn't be a problem in itself, but we already have a Pleasure Party 1 and the second for this orgy quantity, which were much better than this game. It would have been much more profitable to further develop the Pleasure Party 1 or 2 until it has a large amount of content and the most ppl are already satisfied with that, rather than starting several smaller new games that are less popular.
~Suggestion for a new game~ (Last edit in 03.04.2024)
I don't know the developers or what kind of kink they like and interested, but I've always wanted to see an NTR-Voyeurism game from them (just without the interracial kink and stereotypes ofc) which is mainly based on the secret peeking.
My idea is about a young newly married couple where we take on the role of the beautiful wife as FMC, but unlike in other similar games, their marriage and sex life work pretty well here.
The story is at the beginning of their marriage, and the wife is living the best period of her life, but then one day she accidentally finds out about her husband's secret fantasy of seeing her (the FMC) with another man. She is mad at first, but then she gets more and more excited by the thought that she is the main character in her husband's fantasy.
So she decides that instead of confessing to her husband that she already knows about his secret, she rather goes along with his fantasy without permission, and creates situations where her husband can catch her with other men (with flirting, kissing and laters under the sex), trusting that he won't interrupt angrily, but rather remains unnoticed and watch her (secret) game from the background. The FMC's partners could be one of their close friends or the husband's coworker etc whose already have a big crush on her since long. It is important that she does not tell them about her "game", just simply seduce them so they can't resist. The bulls must have a strong personality and sexuality who take initiative as soon as they are alone with our FMC, and not that prudish shy rabbits whom must be "picked up" by her. The cheating events can happen at home and during a vacation and so on... The point is that we need a kind of gradual build-up which makes every event something special and exciting. We can start at an "innocent" footsie cheating play under the table, which is later taken over by the harder sex events..

Overall I like this game as well, but I hope the developers will find the right path one day, and finally successfully make a game that is perfect from every point of view.

Holy cow what a game. I mean it's far from polished but a nice linear free roam game that's got great sex play in it. Characters are voiced which is a nice touch (Men sound awful but the female characters are great). Good amount of content too doesn't feel like it cuts itself short. Totally want a polished sequel for sure. Had no bugs through my play through with the minor exception of one wife character's lips stuck in a sucking position during the sex scene.

If you don't like linear games and only want pure free roam this game isn't for you. If you're looking for free roam linear action that can net some quick wank fuel. This be your gem.

Fucking game made me wish I knew how to design, cuz I'd take this foundation and run with it to create an epic masterpiece! Giving it 4 stars due to polishing in graphic details and fixing the male voices. This needs to be the future of VN games.
