This is probably one of the best game out there. Didn’t thought it would make me emotional at the end. Holly shit the story is just brilliant. I loved the good ending. I haven’t played the evil parker route yet so idk about that

Wow! Thank you very much! I hope the other path lives up to your expectations.

Total Clickbait! Porn game with Family in the title, but no family fun times. Not even a patch.
Sad day. :cry:
I accidenatally grabbed this game ( cos i'm not digging into projects not branded VN usually these days ). I have to admit it is worth every bit to download. Not a very big project after 4 years of development, but very good playable (readable) content to size ratio.
I have one idea to combine this game with other one - TPoNR, cos one cop jailed seems like twin brother of evil character in the last game. Epilogue of FFaS could be a prologue and starting point to further convicted cop's story - developed well in TPoNR.
If both dev's could working with each other it could be a great story and big project, but simple patch is doable even now - i'm sure. I have this idea - to combine two or more games with similiar characters - since few months, so finally i've found good candidates for my first mod. :p In TPoNR family fun is well developed so even both titles fit well each other :cool:
I hope both devs wont want kill me if i do the patch :LOL:

Unlike some others, this is very much a "evenings and weekends" project for me, and my availability to work on it doesn't always match my desires. So, yeah. But at least I'm still pounding away at it, unlike those projects that fade after 0.2 or 0.3... :D

I think he means game “the point of no return”

Pardon my stupidity. TPoNR?
Yeah - The Point of No Return. So I quess it is not bad idea to link both games each other just for fun. A lot of players are unaware of similiarities in these games i quess. Larger content is more inspirational for dreaming - what bad and sexy things would happen if interactions were possible between characters in theses games. I like dreaming.
But for now i didnt tried yet the tool which is able to decompile files in python 3.9 environment. Unren 0.91 is unable to do this job. I'm busy now with developing my python tool for 2.7 version - for counting translation seen/unseen nodes in games and for looking for different paths in games - to print some stat info or generating walk-trough tips to file.
To do what i want - i dont have to decompile games however. Extracting translations nodes is possible from ast class in dev mode - just minor fixes are needed to adapt my tool to python 3.9 version - to run in both pythons. So i see you have 10k text nodes and 520k chars in your game. TPoNR at the other side have more than 100k text nodes but only just 20 k are unique - so both games are comparable in readable content size for now. I'm not going to public any patches without consent of both devs. It is just my idea for now. I'm sure it could be profitable for you both. Each game would gain a lot of extra context without any substantial additional work. And more players woud be more happy to following longer story together in both parts.

Thanks to all for the... "translation." LOL. I'll have to check that game out.

While you obviously and build your own tool if you want, you may want to look at this thread: https://f95zone.to/threads/unren-old-unren-forall-v8-7-unren-powershell-forall-v8-7.92717/
It's pretty up-to-date with Ren'py.

Is there any walkthrough?
Oh, come on! Have you actually read the OP? It starts with

Family, Friends and Strangers is an adult Kinetic Novel. (i.e. not a game). Please know the difference.
and the first item in the FAQ is

1. Why aren't there any choices?
SPOILER

Well, in fact, there is one choice in Chapter 9. But this was designed as a Kinetic Novel, not a game. If you don't know the difference, . So, there's no walk-through (because one isn't needed) and, with the exception of which fork you take in Chapter 9, you can't avoid any of the content.
Please get a clue!

Hey Rich,
Will you be willing to pick up an Abandoned game called The Runaway princess that got abandoned recently. That game had a lot of fan following.
BTW I love your work.

I don't know the game, so I have no idea if it's "my thing" or not. However, right now I've still got plenty of work to finish up FF&S, so there's no way this could happen in the short run.

Played this game years ago, just had a quick question, is there any fun times with mommy yet? The cops had a lot of fun with her, but does the boy get a chance??
