    Review on 0.2.7
    Overall a good game but is too much of a grind.

    Suggestion:
    1. A cheat menu, the game needs too much grind.
    2. The dark alley can be used as a place to obtain illegal drugs to boost your character's "growth" in a desired direction.
    3. Bigger penis options PLEASE. Even if it's femdom focused we can always have a MC with a larger penis. (perhaps through illegal drugs)
    4. The 'Lily' character storyline is very anxiety inducing ngl.
    5. Noting what kind of content may be ahead when making a choice or listing content options that can be toggled.
    6. The ability to skip the intro and directly enter sandbox mode.

    All my complaints and suggestions are related to gameplay. The story, art and characters are all good.

    I found this game by accident and immediately fell in love. It contained alot of my fetishes and I would find myself refreshing the page waiting for a new update.

    I ended up subscribing to his subscribestar with hope an excitement only for patches and updates to take longer and longer.

    I just played 0.2.2 and I have to say that was the final draw. Second week FINALLY released and it wasnt even a full week. Just mon-friday.

    The thing about this game is that if you want to try another path you have to completely restart the game ive played pretty much every path and most are pretty unfulfilling.

    Im just going to wait a few years to check back in when theres a 4-5weeks of game play.

    This isnt a full on review just few of my thoughts.

    Review is for v0.2.0
    These are the sort of games that I like to play.
    Great interface, good story, good characters, only negative is that it does feel grindy a lot of the time, and everything outside of the job just feels unnecessary right now. It's really just doing chores and buying razors in the mall to shave with a couple of events to do (most of which are crammed into the first week)
    Overall it's shaping up to be a really good game. A little more fleshing out of the content and we'll have ourselves a really good game

    An engaging. promising, but also flawed riff on both transition stories and femdom stories.

    As someone who consumes a lot of TS/CD/Futa-related content, it's interesting to note that these kinds of stories generally fit themselves into one of two specific framing narratives.

    On the one hand, you have the fantasy of having your agency taken away only for the process to reveal that it's what you wanted deep-down all along. These types of stories are generally about some dude being *forced* to cross-dress by a relative or some unlikely turn of events, him getting into it, and eventually deciding to live full time as a woman.

    On the other hand, you have stories that emphasise not the transition but the act of submission. These stories generally take place in some version of the world where women are the dominant sex and they wield that power with all the even-handedness of a 1800s patriarch. These worlds also tend to feature transwomen not as people who live as women despite having been born into male bodies but rather as a kind of third sex who are assumed to be naturally dominant, incredibly libidinous, and hugely strong. In these worlds, men tend to be naturally submissive. Games set in these worlds often revolve around guys trying to work out whom they should submit to.

    Fall 4 Love is a game that draws from both sets of fantasies. On the one hand, it's a game where you are a squirrelly little dude who is forcibly feminised by his workplace. On the other hand, it's clear that the world of the game is considerably more pro-kink and pro-trans than our world so you get fun little things like cross-dresser maid cafes that serve 'milky' coffee.

    I suspect the first set of fantasies will apply to the early stages of the game and then the narrative will open out into a fantasy of the second variety but we'll see how it goes.

    Fall 4 Love is a game that is full of potential: It is mad kinky straight off the bat and you can kind of see the early stages of different pathways into the game. Interestingly, unlike a lot of game where you choose your path, Fall 4 Love imposes a path upon you based upon your actions. The fact that some of those actions might be mistaken or based upon incomplete information only increases the sense of submission but I can understand why people would find it weird and frustrating.

    This approach to player agency is not without its pitfalls. You can miss entire plotlines if you don't happen to be in the right place at the right time and certain plotlines seem to unlock purely at random or based upon considerations that are hidden from the player. This sense of alienation is slightly odd as the game is constantly telling you that your skills and fetishes are changing but there's no direct link between actions and consequence. It's not so much a 'find-your-own-adventure' structure as 'fuck-around-and-find out'. This sense of a life governed by chance and happenstance is reminiscent of Good Girl Gone Bad and I suspect a more mature version of this game will have a similar game-play mechanic whereby you wind up re-playing the game multiple times in order to unlock all the different paths.

    The problem for me is that this kind of narrative structure does not sit well with a game where you have to tell your character to go to the toilet or where you're constantly grinding for 5 bucks in order to buy yourself a razor. Also annoying are the unskippable, over-long and profoundly un-fun mini-games that litter the foreground of the game.

    There is a lot of potential here and I really love the game's slightly sleazy vibe but it is also one of the most frustrating games on this site.

    Pro:
    • Wide variety of kinks
    • Edited images to better fit narrative scenarios
    Con:
    • Lengthy minigames with unskippable timers forcing even longer wait times.
    • Grindy sandbox with inflated grinding due to stats decreasing other stats when raised.
    • Time mechanic too restrictive, forced missing events or locking out of routes if you don't walkthrough/savescum with hindsight.
    • Repetitive daily routines that could be automated or toggled to reduce unnecessary clicks, shaving preference, urinating, changing clothes etc.
    • Kinks and cosmetics locked behind route choices, arguably for roleplay purposes? But seems excessive not to let players dress up however they want in a sandbox game where they have to look at their portrait most of the game.

    Really enjoying this so far. I am looking forward to the next update!
    Pro: I like the artwork, there are plenty of kinks available, I am enjoying the game play and it doesn't seem to have too much grind.
    Con: would like a walkthrough and the mini games are a little convoluted.

    Great concept with different routes, Would love a walkthrough. Hopefully, we will see more sex scenes and ways to get different stats up. I love the art style and character customization options too. I can't wait for more updates.

    Currently only 2 of 5.
    It seems to very niche in its audience which is fine, however there are a few more universal problems.
    - the game runs slow. not sure if its firefox acting up (sometimes the case witch broweser based games) but its far too often click and wait. especially with the hangman game.
    - - related to that: the slowness makes things like actively seeking a out a toilet incredibly tedious. if you want a piss/diaper fetish in your game thats fine, but making the player tediously go to the toilet is ..well... tedious
    - the 'dominant' choices, rarely have something to do with dominance. they should rather be called 'being an asshole' which actually seems to fit into the game a lot more since the affected stat seems to be mostly 'amiability', so why bother calling it submissive / dominant if its more often than not a matter of asshole / friendly
    - The sandbox portion is currently very boring. in part due to little events and the early stage of the game, but its also just your usual, run around, do minor shit for little money to grind out an item which may or may not unlock more.

    more content would likely make this a 3 star. faster gameplay, less grind (at least it seems like there will be quite a bit) and a bit less tedious tasks or at least toggles for them

    An extremely promising game!
    The graphics are nice, gameplay is good, it's not flooding the player with text, the scenario is nice, many fetishes are available...
    Can't wait for the next update!
    Overall the developer is to be praised for his work.

    Review based on v0.1.3:

    Synopsis:
    In a dystopian world dominated by women, the MC is a young guy trying to find his place when it comes to job and relationships. With so many beauties around, will he submit to the pressures of society or try to assert his own dominance in relationships?


    The Good:
    + the story seems interesting enough to spend time exploring the different branches, the writing is good too
    + the variety of characters even in the early version is impressive, both in terms of looks and personalities (even if some seem a little stereotypical)
    + the character 2D art looks nice

    + the UI is well done - looks clean and intuitive (one of the best I've seen around for HTML game)
    The Neutral:
    = there are parts of the dialogue that could be better polished (as I understand it's translated from French). I stumbled upon some parts of the dialogue in FR while playing EN version
    = it appears that there's a significant story branching early on when it comes to MCs job and the girls he wants to pursue, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The only downside is - it's harder to keep track of different path saves since those can't be named individually

    = at the moment there's not much content when it comes to H-scenes
    The Bad:
    - some quests seem needlessly restrictive, i.e. time-limited - either the time constraint should be loosened or it should be explicitly mentioned in the quest description otherwise the player is clueless as to what's going wrong
    - same goes for very specific stat requirements to unlock certain scenes - it's not bad per se, but given the limited amount of content so far, people might miss out on a lot of it. Doing a trial-n-error approach by restarting the game and trying to find a path only goes so far until it gets annoying
    - as can be expected from an early version there are bugs, I spotted at least 2:

    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
    The Verdict: Currently I'd rate the game with
    3.5* - I like the story and the concept it's trying to explore. With more content the rating should go up, cause the art looks really nice as well as the UI.
    There are some minor gameplay issues, but those can be attributed to "growing pains" and hopefully will be cleaned up in future versions.
    Even though the content is limited, I'd still recommend checking it out, cause it has great potential. At the moment it's already one of the well-made HTML games around.

    Advice published on 27/06/2021.

    At this point, it is a demo, therefore there is not much to tell about the story. Suffice to say that the MC is stuck at home with a « bossy » (to say the least) mother and no cash, and different opportunity to escape this situation.

    I like the style of the artist who drawn most of the images and environnement.

    But the really good point is the interface. It is really easy to get lost in a .html game, but Fall 4 Love's interface is really clear and easy to understand. We will see if it is still when we will have more options (character customization, places to go, etc.).

    I think it is a really good start for a demo. I wait the next update with impatience.

    This game is pretty solid so far and has branching paths for sub and dom

    It is a demo but it has a great foundation

    The characters in the game also change completely on the choices you make sub neutral and dom.

    all in all its a great solid start looking forward to the future for this one!

    Excellent start for this type of game. The UI is really good in this one, which is a big plus.
    I also love the the fetishes in game, finally someone includes sph.
    The art is mixed with real porn pictures, but the styles don't clash.
    For such a short demo, the amount of control you have with your choices is also astonishing. You can experience the first day in three quite different ways alone.
    I'm hyped for further updates!
