Ren'Py - Agent17 [v0.24.8] [HEXATAIL]

A very good game on the doorstep of my top 10... the level has become very high, but Agent17 is the standout favorite. A big favorite. I don't want to hurt the girls, even out of sexual interest, and that's the first point that bothers me. It's not about acting in a perverse way; it's about the fact that the game is incomplete, and many storylines don't offer choices. For example, with the first blonde (no spoilers), I choose to forgive her, and that's it... no further progress possible. Yet, it's open in the other path... so that really bothers me. I would have liked to play both storylines, provided that both offer development and the ability to interact with the girls regardless of the path we take. Anyway, sorry, I may not be very clear... In short, there are many good aspects, the sandbox is great, just enough possible feedback, and progress whenever you want. I've been looking for a game like this for a long time, so it's perfect. There's an atmosphere, and I love the relationship with Agent17; it's subtle because at first, it's just a phone, but little by little... once again, I find it unfortunate to have discovered the game just during its development; I would have loved the final version. Too bad.

Holy Moly. When I first saw the girls on the front page I was like: HOT DAMN THOSE GIRLS LOOK CUTE; LETS TRY THIS.

So I tried aaand....
I WASNT DISAPPOINTED. The opposite, I was so surprised about the amount of quality and amount of content even tho its v0.21.7
The quality of art, renders, music, girls, storytelling (still in early phase but its interesting enough), choices..
Everything is really high quality, its freaking amazing.
AND the CHERRY on top of the ice cream.. you get to choose to go complete saint or corrupt scum path... aah, i just love that you get to choose those paths.. its just somethign different.. making you want to try out different routes for each girl..
Crazy.. I love this game, its really good. Cant wait for more.
I just wished one would get more fun with the blond nurse (Julia?) but being able to get BJ fun is enough (so far)

Btw I read a lot of whining and crying for the DEV putting in anti cheat codes... Hell, deal with it guys. Its not that hard to invest A BIT of time to grind some money. If the dev wishes the players to commit a BIT of time for the hard work he/she is putting in.. hell, no one has any right to complain...
Quick tip from me: Invest in bathtube cleaning stuff from market early, help the blue store hair girl a bit with sorting figures, donate sperm to hospital and invest in the vault gadget from the nerd girl in the library.
As long as you dont invest your early money in lewd scenes early on, you are good to go.

Amazing game 6/5* Peace.

This is a pretty great game with amazing renders... if you used the anti-cheat patch. If you didn't then prepare for a pathetically bad, time wasting grind. I accidentally used the old method, still linked on the front page at time of writing, and now my install is basically borked. Not going to waste the time downloading this again just to get around the developers pathetic attempts at padding by making you waste time.

Even if you get past the stupid, stupid money grind there's just numerous instances where it feels like the game just doesn't respect your time. As an example:
* Go to unlock a safe. Search room for a clue to get in.
* Attempt to use clue. Fail at it.
* Go talk to someone for a tip and go do it again. This process requires that you click nearly 50 times to solve.
* Get one object. Deliberately leave an obviously important item.
* Go to a new location and be told you can't enter without the obviously important item.
* Go back to the safe the following day. Click 50 more times to get obvious item. Wait until night and go back.

None of that needs to happen. It's not interesting. It's not world building. It's pointlessly wasting your time. With the developer putting a laughable amount of effort into preventing people from bypassing the money grind it makes it feel like they have very deliberately set out to waste your time and are offended at the idea that you might have other, better, things to do. Hard pass.

At it's stage the game shows a lot of promise. There are different paths and each player can find what he seeks. The graphics are good as well (to my tastes at least). Of course there are some characters who are yet to be introduced into the playground, but it's always like this when the game is not completed. So go on DEV! Can't wait for the new updates.

Pros
Mediocre Story
Amazing Models
Good animations

Cons
Stupid anti-cheat system that u can disable i hate when i see stupid stuff like this in a game
The protagonist is kinda dark....
The events are kinda buggy and sometimes they reset?(?)

Fantastic game. Greatly executed male domination, wincest. Charachters are believable and interesting. Models are all different and beatiful with natural proportions (slightly exaggerated breast size to my taste)

There is still room for improvement though: English version to me (a non-native) seems to be badly translated. There is also a problem with a large number of LIs, but limited content with each of them.
Both of these problems are relatively easy to fix: 1st requires a good translator, 2nd requires more time and content

Despite the abovementioned problems the fundamentals of the game are solid, thus 5 stars

I had a lot of fun with this one.

First of all: Do apply anti-anti cheat mod as well as the Phone Mod. Makes the game a whole lot less frustrating imo. Playing it legitimately only artificially lenghtens your playtime with annoying stat/money grind etc.

I do not agree with the anti-cheat dev policy but hey, I am not a supporter so I don't really have a say and won't have it impact my rating.

Besides that, really cool corruption game. It's on the darker spectrum with mostly non-con content. There's also more vanilla scenes but yeah MC is mostly a bad guy. There's fewer and fewer games like that so I always like stumbling upon newer ones, especially good ones.

Sandbox is okay. There's the classic event grind where you have to do this day 1 and come back to do that day 2 etc but nothing too tedious (once again, I recommend cheating money and points). There's a good amount of locations and girls.

I personally really enjoyed most of the models. There's a good variety of personalities and backgrounds. Scenes are hot and the animation is good.
Particularly fan of the little sister. Her innocence/slow corruption is extremely hot and I'm really looking forward for more!

For futures updates, I really hope Hexatail can manage to focus on the already extensive roster and the main story rather than seasonal stories. Christmas one had very good scenes (but was grindy as shit for again no reason) but I'd have prefered a continuation of the story instead. There's plenty left to be done.

Honestly, this is one of the best villain-lead games you can play. Admittedly, you can choose to just be kinda scummy instead of an outright villain for some of the girls, but the core premise is essentially that a horny teen with no scruples is given control of a top of the line secret agent. Using her, he leverages her abilities to bang everyone he wants, by hook or by crook.

Part of the somewhat low rating is due to a huge influx of negative reviews when the dev started a hopeless war against cheat mods, presumably to encourage more people to sign up to patreon for cheats, which, kind of a terrible idea that clearly didn't work out.

That said, the game is absolutely amazing with some of the best animations and non-consensual scenes you can find. Blackmail, drugs, coercion, taking advantage of innocent girls, the art is spectacular and the content impeccably degenerate. The only downside is that the minigames get painful after grinding a while, and the cheats are awkwardly implemented.

Still, my first playthrough (without cheats) was still reasonably paced and it remains one of my favorites in terms of corruption. Could really use a gallery though.

it's perfert game. like being a dik.
this make me perfectly of own fantasy of sexual and desire. so wonderful. how cam he made this master piece. thanx so much hexatail!!!
wonderful story and art.
animation too, maybe he make all most of asisan's school time fantasy. need more updates. looking forward to completed this game. and want more ntr. need to like erik characters. so he stolen alll ladies. having huge something.

I love this game, have a good graphics, smooth animation, good story, pretty characters and i interested to NTR Girls to Principal. I hope Hexa will added more NTR to this game cause it's so good and i'll always to support this game ❤

Absolutely amazing gameplay experience, the character designs are pretty much 10/10! The game is kinda stingy with its in-game cash tho so the grind is not very much smooth sailing, not to mention the skip cooldown which can be frustrating sometimes.

The game is about a mysterious agent who can apparently do anything you want her to do, starting from gathering any information or blackmail material to solo winning any fights including breaking into prison and dealing with a whole gang of battle hardened criminals inside. I can't imagine anything more ridiculous than that.

The basic gameplay loop consist of doing an event with some girl, without any thought put into common sense or character development, then working for money using the most idiotic minigames you can find free code for and then using the money earned by abusing your mouse to buy gifts and items required for the next event.

And the only things that are somewhat positive are the models and the animations, but of course credit for that goes to Illusion, the maker of Honey Select, not the developer.

Overall waste of time, avoid at all costs.

This game provides good h-scenes with the girls but the only letdowns are the following:
Translations - There are minor mistranslations and a few untranslated words.
H-scenes - Looks like they are lagging/low fps when performing slow movements on android.
Character - The MC is the most despicable and scummiest person who ever existed in porn games.
What about the grind then? It is alright you just need a few clicks here and needed with basic memorization skills.

The girls and scenarios are very hot, and if you can endure the grind, sandbox format, and maddening mini-games: you might really like this. I got part-way through the 0.19.4 update, and realized I wasn’t enough of a masochist to continue with it. YMMV.

I don't know and not understand why the game's rating is somewhat low compared to its quality, but I do respect other opinion.

For me, I love this game especially girls and animation. Every girl has their charm and loveable. The animation is flowing especially boob motion for boob lover like me

Because the girls are lovely, I want them all and want to be kind to them. On the other hand, a ntr, sharing, pimp and corrupt is interesting as well, so I love both path and love to play both.

The story is not that bad but not good at the same time because MC is too much asshole but sometime too coward and good suddenly. But I don't care much about this perspective. There're good and bad, but overall, I love it.

Played on version 0.19.2 but did not get very far into it.
For starters I love Sandbox games(I rarely play VN's) and for the most part a games "story" is completely unimportant unless its as bad as this one.

It started out fine, you have a phone that lets you give an agent missions, alright haven't seen that before so good to go. I don't mind grind(I played both Straitened Times and Corruption without mods) and it didn't seem to bad. Graphics are good and girls are great. Mini games.... err I have yet to find a game with minigames that was good but hey maybe they wont be to bad.

Shortly into the game you start running into the darker content, which is good in this case, I don't care what your reason is, if a character has the MC beaten up and steal from him don't think for a second I'm going down a "love" path no she's getting kicked... a lot .

Then the first big red flag, the safe, what kind of stupid minigame was that? But fine at least you only have to do it once... wait... you only have to do it once right... My enjoyment of the game went down real fast.

Then what made me stop playing,
That was enough for me, I get light stories or even stupid ones. As I said I don't normally care for VN's mostly because they take themselves to seriously and spend a lot of time talking about feelings and things that don't matter(If I wanted to read/talk about feelings for 10 hours just to get a handjob I'd get back together with my ex). So stupid story is fine/good but this just crossed the line into moronic which is a no go. It sorta reminded me of a Robin Hobb or George R. Marten book, the story doesn't matter it's all about torturing the MC, so not not worth the time and I spent way to much time writing this.

Personally I'm a vanilla bastard but I'll occasionally venture out. In this game MC is simply a scumbag and not much you can do about it. You could probably count on 2 hand the amount of consensual (no blackmail) scenes. And this game has plenty of scenes

The visuals are good, way above average and plenty of good animations. Character design and characters are good and variety is plenty. The dialogue isn't cringy most of the time, writing is pretty good IMO and the story is okay. The plot is mainly driven by MC's dick although a few plot lines are moving towards actual conflict.

Gameplay is a renpy sandbox, it gets repetitive with a few repetitive minigames. Way too grindy, without mods I would not be giving this game a review. There's a good amount of content, a few hours worth.

8/10,

version 0.19 review:

I think this game is criminally underrated for fans of darker content. If you're mainly a pure path player, just keep in mind that there's a lot less content for you. Some of the girls, for now at least, have only blackmail content. You have been warned.

NTR is completely avoidable, although you may have to choose between pure path vs ntr/dark path for certain girls down the line. I'm not the biggest fan of NTR, but am usually a dark path follower, so that choice becomes harder for me. Would've liked an option for dark path without NTR as well, but it's not the end of the world.

I think the models/animations of this game are done using HS2, and they're pretty decent. HS2 tends to make all characters look a bit asian/anime, but I do find them attractive. HS2 also means theres a ton of animations and sex content so far. No complaints here.

Probably the biggest complaint I have about this game would be about the grind (it's a sandbox). Luckily, if you are a supporter of the dev (or browse the comments) you'll get access to cheat codes that completely eliminate that grind for you (sandbox nature of game remains, of course).

Not much to write home about regarding sounds/soundtrack, but that's the case for the majority of AVNs here. I won't detract stars for that.

I haven't been following this game for that long yet, but I believe it updates every few months, so I have no reason yet to believe the dev is trying to milk patrons.

TLDR: give this game a shot if you're a fan of darker content. Rated 5/5 since the dev produces a free game full of darker content and many branching paths. Upped it from 4/5 original after seeing the dev release on a regular basis for free!

The girls are certainly cute, some of the scenes are pretty good, and the plot, premise and sandbox gameplay could have been very good, but in almost every other respect this game is an absolute mess. Some highlights:

• Almost every single sex scene in this game is non-consensual and involves some degree of blackmail, coercion, or just straight-up drugging and rape. Normally this is just down to taste, but it's not clear if the worst bits will end up being optional or required to unlock future content. Either way, eventually someone will come along and report this to Patreon and it'll be booted off the platform forever, leaving the game's long term prospects questionable at best.
• If you're looking for any meaningful character development or interactions, this ain't it. The fan favorite that was voted for by the patrons has about a room temperature IQ, so that's not the fanbase's focus. But hey, maybe I could be surprised here if I end up playing future versions.
• Most of the minigames are absolute mind-numbing drudgery unless you enter the Agent Patreon code, which allows you to skip all of them.
• The choice was made to incorporate a ridiculous anti-cheat system instead of basic features like a scene gallery, making the progress tracker actually useful in any meaningful way, or of course more content. Their motives here are pretty clear.
• The English is generally pretty broken and terrible, but towards the end of the v19 Christmas event, several lines of dialogue are left completely untranslated from the native Korean. This would have been noticed on a single playthrough in English.

I'd like to have rated it higher because with the Agent code some few parts of it are worth playing, but the hostile user experience leaves a lot to be desired.
