early game its very good, later it becomes very rushed i think and it falls off. the best scenes are also not animated.
So I tried this and was already half way zoning out by the bog standard writing and set ups by the time the escort offer came in.
Whatever. Let's see how this game handles whoring out girls.
Then the red flags started popping and by the time the telephone rang I was thinking 'he wouldn't do that... right?'
One bath later and remembering the 'please be nice to me' from the beginning, I took a break and came back the next day.
Well shit, that went places quickly.
So, after starting a multi-parallel playthrough and mapping out the entire thing in the last two weeks, I can only say: this is a more than adequate first work.
I've been around the scene for ten years and I've seen more seasoned developers put in more work to achieve less. You have a good sense for a story, it's pretty standard but the little connections and foreshadowing pull it together quite well. You can actually feel out how the player's decisions play out quite well, animations are solid enough to not be noticeable in most cases and, most importantly, the tone manages to have quite a variety without clashing. There are maybe a few things that could have been fleshed out more, but as it stands, you have a product that is more viable than most games that come out nowadays.
I hope you stay around, because whatever you do next, I'm looking forward to it. You got the potential to be a big name.
Just for the love of god do some proof reading.

Check the gallery it gives hints but for what I remember it has a Love and Blackmail route?!? Honestly I'm not sure but the gallery tabs on each character give "hints" on routes available.
Edit: Iris gallery have 2 tabs, one is Love/Sub and the other Blackmail so I guess it has 3 routes. I only played Love Harem route in this game since the rest doesn't interest me much. Well the solo Love routes may be interesting to follow, maybe someday when I repeat the game.

You have to choose to sleep with Megan to make Nicolas jealous, then when he calls you asking for advice tell him to move on. Back when Jenna wants you to photograph her maid cafe show interest in Carmela and then go upstairs and sex her, don't worry that it makes Jenna sad. Be kind towards Toki or whatever the name of the younger sister is and show all interest in her. Idk if it matters as I only did one playthrough but express interest in Australia girl from your gaming sessions. You end up with the Full House achievement at the end of the game.

Yep that is exactly the little "trick" to get the full house, couldn't say it better
I played with URM so was easier for me to see those paths.

Never played and never will netorase/netorare routes even if they treat the LIs well, just not my thing.
Most important this game is completed, this was the dev first project and I bet they are already moving forward to the next game/project, learning from the flaws in this and adding to the positives. So I doubt a big change/rework of the script like that is in the cards and maybe they take your and others advice/suggestions from NTR enjoyers that I saw saying the same into the next game.
I guess the main problem there was the Dev making a character like Emilie so sweet
if she was annoying af probably no one would notice how the MC acted towards her in a NTR route .

First, let me say I was expecting this game to be a solid 5 or 6, but it was actually one of the most enjoyable romantic harem routes I've ever played. I'm truly looking forward to the author's next game and it'll give me a good chance to pop on the patreon for a month or two in thanks for this excellent experience. And now for my main reason for posting.
I'm not sure if the author is still active in this thread now that the new game is being worked on, but I've been replaying all of my games and making spreadsheets with info about all the characters (Backgrounds, relations to other characters, how far the relationship with the MC has progressed, etc). One of the stats I keep track of is if the Love Interests first time is with the MC. I have a lot of fun trying to figure it out by going over statements of the character, lines during lewd scenes, etc.
I was able to figure out most of the characters in this game, but the only one I didn't have a definitive answer for was Toka. She mentioned being in an experimental phase, implying she may have been with a boy, but it is never confirmed, unlike Toki, who we know had never been with a guy. If the author is still around and feels like answering I'd love to know whether Toka's first time with a guy was the MC or before then.
Also, if you are feeling especially generous, Cassandra, Toki and Toka had all been with a woman before getting with the MC. Had any of the other girls been with a girl before getting with the MC?

There is a post reaction from AtemX, the dev, from last Sunday, in an above post from Saturday. So yeah I see that the dev sometimes check the posts and even sometimes also posts even long after the game got completed. So there is a good chance they read yours too.
Hey!
Yes I'm still active on this thread, I usually check the forum every few days to see if there are any questions and new reviews of the game.
About Toka, I like to say that what isn't specified in the game is up to the player's interpretation, to allow them to shape the story as they see fit. But if I had to develop her background a little further, I'd say that yes, she probably had a few one-night stands with boys (

As for the others, no, none of them have had lesbian relationships in the past, with the exception of the three mentioned.

AtemX, you've done such a great job with AlwaysFan, I enjoyed the Love+Harem Route, and so I hope you continue developing games like AlwaysFan. I can't wait to see what's next.

Next game is already in development, just fyi. It's called "Inanna Revenge" (and you can explore a romantic harem route in this new game as well). The MC is isekai'd to a medieval fantasy universe. It'll once again use the Ren'Py engine using Honey Select models but upscaled to 1080p in harem style game which will also include minigames. Let me quote the rest of the synopsis the dev gave from a few months back:
Hope that pumps you up (and everyone else that read it too)! Looking forward to how Inanna Revenge will unfold.

as long as minigames will be skippable
it's like entrance drug for devs - first it minigames, then freeroam, and suddenly it's a full on fucking sandbox... drugs are bad mkay, not even once

Not skippable BUT the dev said they'll try to make them as intuitive as possible without slowing down your progression. Though controversial, the dev stated "a game needs these small gameplay phases to spice up the experience". That's a fair mindset, and given the dev's track record I think folks should give them the benefit of doubt that any planned minigames won't take away from one's enjoyment of their next game. I think it's cool that the dev is trying different things to stay creative and inject fun, new aspects into their games and grow as a developer.

Hehe yeah please never never ever sandbox, only play updates of a few like 2 or 3 and only because they are top tier games like Desert Stalker but will never be on my favorite games list because they have a fatal flaw
they are sandbox, those annoy me and are time consuming so I always filter now new games to play and if they have sandbox tag I don't even try them anymore.Minigames and freeroam don't annoy me as long the minigames are intuitive (some minigames are fun) like Back said on the post above or I can progress them easily with rollback or URM help
if they get annoying. Freeroams it depends, if they are the quality of a certain top game everyone knows about (even though basically that game is almost always on that mode now, still prefer linear VN style) I don't mind but they also should be kept to a minimum and be engaging and intuitive to play, those I believe enhance greatly the developers coding skills I guess.
