VN - Ren'Py - Completed - AlwaysFan [v1.0.1] [AtemX Games]

Story and MC
Ok, so you're going to start as a poor loser with no money, no education and no possibilities, but you have this shy pretty girl who's going to do everything for you. So, what's your first idea? Lets sell her on Always Only Fans. Not really my style, but I decided to give it a shot as devs second project is one of the best games I ever played. Anyway, game is about AlwaysFans and being a photographer for your LIs. But it's not only that. There's a very dark side of this world which you'll discover and actively fight with. MC isn't a scum bag like you could think from what I wrote above. Before story he was gentle and empathehic guy who wasn't afraid to defend weaker. He still can be like that, if you pick love route. Submissive route starts with basically a rape, so I just skipped it a bit to check if later is better, but found that there are too many branches and gave up. Not a fan of having 1500 saves for one game. As you can see, choices are big part of this game (you can also get few early bad ends) and I like that dev let us choose how far we want to go with content, but I'm missing one thing. You see, you can decide, if you want big part of your LIs to upload nude photos. I'm against it, but only because, like in reality, it could affect future children or future jobs of these women. What bothers me is that there's no option to upload nudes with blur/blindfold/mask or just something else to cover face. There are hundred branches, but not a middle ground. Settings and plot theme may not exactly be to my taste, but I must admit it's very well written from the very beginning and there are some thrilling moments or plot twists.

TIP: If you don't like surprises, it's worth to have URM (Universal RenPy Mod). It helps in quizes or picking path you want to pick or at least avoid some bad surprises.

LIs and relationships
Most of LIs throws themselves on MC almost immediately. There's not much bonding before sex and MC is going to tell women that he loves them and want to spend the rest of the life with them, when he basically met them just few days ago. It's quite creepy. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of bonding, it just happens after sex. So... you don't have to be afraid of being blueballed and if you want good romance, it'll happen later. Mostly with main LI though, so others only get some scraps. LIs create a nice cast of very different women that are easy to get along with. They definetely fit their roles, offer very pleasant conversations and most of them have visible progress. Main LI is a cuckquean and she's one of the best LIs for harem games, if we consider personality. Perfect harem main mistress who takes care of recruitment without spreading corruption too agressively and is helping everyone in the main circle.

Visuals and audio
Backgrounds are ok, just ok, and girls seem to be a bit outdated, but they're still pretty. There's big variety of boobs, great face expressions and there are many amazing outfits, much more than in other games with the same style. Once or twice I've seen people seeking for games with a lot of clothes and modeling, so if you're reading it - this game's definetely for you! For the bad things, I'm not the biggest fan of main LI face and definetely prefer Cass or Iris, even that her albinism is making her original and extra attractive. Later with make-up (or maybe I get used to it?) it's not that bad, but it still reduces my pleasure a bit and she's in about 50% of scenes. You'll experience very good and finesse animations. Not just thrusting and moving in loop, but more complex situations including cumming (both LI and MC) and that's always extra appreciated by me. You can expect also animations that's not related to intercourse like dancing or moving upstairs in tight jeans. Varied sex sounds well integrated into animations and also many other that remove necessity to use part of onomatopoeias, while for example, taking photos. I only don't believe that nobody told dev in these many years that used here sound of sitting on bed/couch sounds like a fart. It's kind of funny though. Just had a scene where MC sat next to a hot girl and then ... pfffft. This game don't have much humor, but I laughed quite loud.

Summary
I wonder, if dev thought about his next game, when he started this (there are hints), but experience she/he got definetely made him/her one of the best devs on the market. Anyway, rating this one wasn't easy for me. Objectively this game is very good 4,5 easily, maybe even 5 stars. It have intriguing plot, very good writing, good cast, nice visuals and exceptional animations. Subjectively it's 3,5 as there are many things that are not to my taste: pacing, real world settings and especially, too many branches. My final rate is 5 as it's impossible to go for 4,5.

Positives:

• Lots of animations for both nonsexual and sexual activities.
• Choices have consequences, encouraging multiple playthroughs.
• The main story is fairly straightforward, with a beginning, mid, and end.
• The poster girl has strong character development.
• An achievement system letting you know possible choices you haven't thought of.
• Background soundtracks fit the atmosphere.
• The HWO minigame is enjoyable.

Negatives:

• Renders look outdated.
• Other love interests and harem are half baked.
• Majority of the content is about the poster girl. If you're not interested in her story, you'll have a rough time reading.
• Conflicts resolve too easily.

Final Thoughts:

This visual novel is all about the white-haired poster girl you see on the main page. The game shows 9 other girls' paths, but it's misleading because they're more like side characters with her as the only main girl. Ironicly, this makes playing solo/faith route unrewarding, since it differs little from the harem route.

Despite of that, the game really develops the poster girl well with a variety of choices and possible consequences for her. Plus, the animations are surprisingly good, considering the outdated render quality. And I'm not just refering to the sexual animations, but also the animations for other activties, like exercising, dancing, minigame, etc. I can tell the dev puts a lot of hearts and soul into this game. Therefore, I rate it a 5 stars, as it's a proper visual novel experience.

PROS
+ Despite lacking in quality department, the game still has good visual style, character models (aside from Emilie's face, especially eyes), and animations with not bad FPS values, along with a variety of animations/scenes. And quality-wise, they get better at later parts, even tho it still looks average, and It has a good amount of content for lewd stuff as well.

CONS
- Story is not well-written, and even feels poorly-written, and forces a lot of points, especially how it tries too hard to create tragedies, which is quite problematic, I do say. Sure we get it, Emilie experienced a lot of bad stuff, got bullied for her pale skin, had no father, her mother died in accident, she failed her school, she has no one to go, she is having financal problems, these are already feels quite forced, so why MC lost his parents in same accident, he failed his school, he has no place to go, and have financal problems, has no job, can't find any, and forced to make FMC work in that job as well? It makes literally zero sense that all of these are happening.
- Your choices matter, but only matter for annoying stuff like Quiz, Quizz Shows, blocking paths, giving you gameovers, etc, but when it comes to really important stuff like Emilie's job or some scripted scenes MC has, etc, you simply have no power over it. So the whole ''This VN is based on your choices, which will have an impact on the story, and the end of the game.'' argument told by writers at the start of the game is not really true.
- ''Romance'' or ''In Love'' with our game's telling path doesn't really feel like what it should at all. First of all, they have scripted content that romance paths shouldn't have. Secondly, the sex happens way too fast, with seeing almost nothing about romance/love at all. Even the main girl of the game, Emilie's sex scene happens right away, and you see almost zero love/romance between her and the MC.
- MC has a specific personality, and even with making different choices, some stuff he does is scripted, and it makes him unlikable at a lot of points, especially a lot of the arguments he makes feel quite hypocritical.
- Like MC other characters is not well-written either, for example Emilie, we listen her problems, how shy she is, how she can't express herself, not good with people, how she got bullied by people because of her looks, etc, then next minute after hearing MC ask her to become model, she is like ''sure let's do it, and lets him take her photos in underwears to post online... I mean... Seriously? Yep, makes sense for sure...
- Visually, the game looks old, older than the year it started development, and a bit low quality (hope only early parts)
- Emile's face design is a bit weird, especially her eyes (way too big), and teeth (way too small). She looks kind of creepy/weird when she smiles.
- It's buggy, for example, for no reason you can lose the ''Save naming: on/off'' feature, and it sticks on ''on''

VERDICT
This is one of the games that's only good to let out some steam, and not really worth investing time to read dialogues/story, etc.

Played v 1.0.1 – complete visual novel with a male mc. You and your childhood friend reconnect after several years – because both of you have money problems and fear getting kicked out of your apartment you convince her to start an onlyfans account with you as her photographer. During the story you reconnect with old friends and meet new lovers. There’s also a criminal conspiracy and the abduction of other onlyfans models.

Story is decent, writing is decent too, models are pretty enough and sex scenes have fine animations. There’s nothing that deeply impresses me, but it’s a decent story that’s also complete which is pretty good for a f95 game. The best thing about the game is that your choices do influence the characters’ relationship to you or unlock (slightly) different scenes and lead to slightly different endings (mostly concerning happiness and attitude).

The game’s main kink is (avoidable) sharing and swinging. Depending on your choices the girls are happier or unhappier with the situation. You can also choose between a loving or a submissive relationship for most girls.

Has the male domination tag, but only has light domination, dirty talk and the girls calling themselves your slaves, nothing too impressive. There’s one scene with handcuffs and another with bondage, that’s it (except for one hardcore scene with whipping and a wooden horse involving an antagonist hurting one of your girls (avoidable) – but even that one is really short).

Story: 7/10
Renders: 8/10
Animation: 9/10
Sound: 8/10
Characters: 7/10

Before I start I just want to say my review is based on love/harem route; I didn't played other paths
This game was amazing; the characters, their facial expressions, and their interactions with MC are really cute. I also liked the animations and enjoyed the mini-games.
Some things that could have been done better are the MC design; he looks like a bum, and his proportions are unrealistic, and the story kind of became repetitive after some time, which felt boring.
Other than that, it's a pretty solid game and worth trying.
Also, props to the dev for completing the game with a considerable amount of content in a short period of time.

Well, that was a dissapointment, alright

In this, so called, "sharing" route no actual sharing happening . Every newbie cuck knows that sharing is caring. In this game MC just asshole who pimps girls and treats them like some livestock.

Love path is highly hypocritical. Brings up topics about misogyny and sexism, while all the girls were just waiting for the knight in shinig armor (obviously MC) and do ahegaos.

Cute and lovely FMC, make me want to follow the Love/Harem route while normally I want to try the Corruption route first. The game kind of fall off in the end as other love interest does not have that much personality and they also have little interaction with MC. Still, the game plot and character is much better than most of the games on this site so 5/5

The game was far from perfect, but it was fun, and the story was intriguing. The diverse LI were also catchy, even if some of them lack scenes with the MC. The harem building is quite common with a principal girlfriend who is "okay to share" then every other girl is added to the team.
All in all, the story was complete, and it is quite a good fact for what I think is the first game of the developer. So clearly, a good experience for me.

There is apparently a big branching tree, but I only played the "girlfriend/submissive" path and it felt fun.

AlwaysFan [v1.0.1] [AtemX Games]

Eh, could be worse, but 'meh' writing and dislikable characters ruin everything. And good animations with not bad models won't save it.
Pros:
1. Most of the models.
2. Ig, branching, but meh. (I'll take GOOD story over branching story, 100 times out of 10 times.)
Cons:
1. Animations. Mostly default loops. Tho, it gets better.
2. Shallow, super "anime-cliche" characters. Even my plate of soup is deeper than almost all of them combined. 'Don't care' and 'skip' will be your best friends. Again. Most of the cast is forgettable smocks that you have to engage with. Real chore,
3. Writing like in some C-rated anime.
4. Story itself is pretty boring and all over the place. Tho, I did see it through. It's somehting, ig.

This is the first review I’ve written here, and this game genuinely deserves it.


The story is well-written, with a cast of distinct, likable characters, each with their own charm and personality. The range of choices is impressive, and every decision has real impact on how the story unfolds. It’s one of the best true harem AVNS I’ve played, offering a variety of endings that can be happy, bittersweet, or deeply tragic. The replay value is excellent, and the narrative stays engaging throughout.


It’s clear the creator put genuine effort and heart into this project, and the result speaks for itself... a standout work in the genre.

Overall not bad, but the Quiz shows, and the searching for evidence were both giant negatives. Although there were some errors, they were small (Like a reflection etc) and I would of given this a higher rank other then the glaring flaws. If you put the people in a spot where they are 'soft-locked' until they google an answer then that is really really bad. Also I learned afterwards there was a cheat to the Quiz, if it would of been pointed out better I would not of minded it as much.

If those two things were not there I would recommend it, but with these things I would never recommend to play this game. So poor it is!

It's got a great and engaging plot, plenty of choices that actually affect the story and an abundance of lewds to boot.
This is the XXX 'choose your own adventure' I've been waiting for since the 80's.

U know, finding a good adult game online is like striking gold in the Wild West. But with this game, it truly is a gold mine. The visuals are a bit below today’s standards, but the storyline is fantastic. The characters feel alive, and the love route is just irresistibly adorable.

i like this game
but its also naughty
low quality
and perverted experience

game contain a lot of non-optional things that im not fully okey with
rape scene with woman we could not save
sex with other woman when my main gf is not present or at least fully aware of it
complete lack of main character choice towards what new thing to try with GF
she is the always the one with ideas and innitiative, i can never pick anything new, i can only chose which sex to repeat
lack of difference in Fan-count whenever i go with nudes or without nudes
if you fuck up minigames or quiz it can result in game over which is kind of stupid, but luckily game let you retry game overs, sadly no skip
Your Main GF have no shadow even static shadows would do big difference she looks like very poor render
it feels a bit wrong to push OF carries with your woman rather than trying to get side-jobs and do it as hobby or side hussle, its a bit unrealistic
despite doing Live Stream with her, we can not do live-fiuck or anything
shit also didn't worked for us in views or notoriety so idk whats up
you can't chose costumes for her for the photo shoots at least most of the times you can't chose, it would make the whole thing a bit more engaging
despite doing it for money game does not display fake money/bills balance that does not need to do anything, but would be cool engagement to have for the game
game let you be extremely jelous and controlling of your GF in mmo despite having 1-sidely open relationship with her
Game clearly have better and worse choices and its literally cry for walkthru mod build in
i could not get it to run on mobile despite having clear as day instructions and following them 1:1 shit didn't worked

Summary: despite all my mehs and cons i like this game
its VERY LONG and it has a lot of action,
it does not feel slow or needlessly drag you to side characters
try it if you don't mind a bit perverse relationship game

One of the most fun games I've played on here, just sadened by the lack of megan content, especially with there being no content of just her and mc alone and not needing emilie there. I'd also have preferred there being a route where you get her without having to be an asshole to your friend and lie about it. To me she was best-girl. But still very good game

Really good for a first time game. Lots of story and girls, story is nothing to write home about but entertaining enough to not skip through. Interesting and unique main girl, overall really good. I'm looking forward to seeing the next work of the dev.

Really enjoyed the game tbh i wish it had been longer i felt there could have been more available like court case, extended weddings etc it was good nough to keep going i was a bit gutted it was over.

Well done Dev on a great game

Very good game! I enjoyed it a lot. Nothing extreme the graphics are not the best by todays standards, but it's really solid in all aspects. Solid story, good dialog, good scenes, good looking women and it actually got finished in a timely manner with good endings. I played it to completion more than 1 time (rare for me). It deserves the 5/5. 5 does not mean perfect, but it is in the top 20% of games. Recommend it!

Great game! I really like it, just end my love route and I think that I will play again in future!

Pros:
- Animations are little dated and weird sometimes, but they were very nice and funny. I liked this part of game. It's clear a lot of work has gone into this and I really appreciate it.
- I also likes music - even some of songs are on my playlist xD
- Story was really good. Mayby have some flaws, but they weren't too much noticeable. I liked the plot; I was curious about what would happen next, how it would unfold, and it encouraged me to play. And there were a few moments where I burst out laughing, which is also a plus.
- MC was.. really ok! He looks nice (better then many MC from other games), he was smart, know what to do, how to act. I like him.
- Emi is the cuttest thing in this game! Slightly strange teeth and eyes, but it had its charm. In my harem was her, Amanda (by accident, but I'm glad it happened), Iris, Jenna, Abby and Lea (mostly for Jen). Each of them had their own character, their own preferences, and brought something to this "family". The are not "ctrl c", "ctrl v" characters.
- In the first part of game I was thinking about Cassandra, cause she was childhood friend, even if she was.. bland, but I gave up on her. She's bi, uses a dildo, and her... crush on Emi was creepy. It's not for me. Still it's great that she and so many other characters are in the game, with they problems, preferences and history. Even if you don't want to, or can't fuck them.
- There is very big "+"! In this game, the harem and threesome can be handled without any lesbian action. That's a huge plus, something most game developers fail to grasp. Fortunately, this (and a few other things) can be avoided here. For that alone, I would have given it 5 stars, if not for one irritating detail..

Cons:
- There is a Big Nope and that's the reason the rating dropped slightly. While other things could have been avoided, unfortunately LI masturbation and sex toys weren't. Their use was forced, for no apparent reason. For someone who isn't a fan of them, this is a significant drawback. Fortunately, it was rare and didn't spoil the overall fun of the game.
- Another minor drawback is that all it takes is one different choice for the romance to fizzle out. Just like with Natache. I didn't want to take advantage of her when I came to hack into Marcus laptop, so I didn't start making a move on her. And that immediately ended the romance with her, even though there were situations later where it could theoretically have been revisited.
- And another minor minus, at least for someone who's a long-distance runner in bed, it's the fact that the MC comes so quickly. He boasts about his stamina, but almost always, he could barely manage a single orgasm in his lover before he himself erupted. How on earth can someone come in less than 10 minutes?! Even if I rush and force myself to orgasm, I still can't (fortunately, actually) do it in such a short time. The girl should climax at least a few times before he finishes once. This is unfortunately a bit irritating, especially since it's the norm in this type of game (and it would be nice to finally see some variety), but it's not something that would bother me much in the long run.
- And the last tiny minus is that the sex was almost always purely vanilla. But it was bearable...

Either way, even with these few flaws, the game is very enjoyable and addictive, and I can recommend it with a clear conscience!

Honesty, this game is a rarity.
Why? Because it not only has fully realised and well-crafted storylines and routes, but also a well-made ending!
There are so many abandoned games or rushed endings with these types of games, but there's none of that here.
Are there flaws? Yes.
Is the devs second game, Innana's revenge, much better? Also yes.
However, this is a solid four-star, fully realised, bugless game with a variety of kinks and meaningful choices that I'd recommend to anyone.
