Unity - Fap Nights at Frenni's Night Club [v0.2.6] [FATAL FIRE Studios]

This review is based on v0.2.2 and v0.1.9. You'll see why later.

Most reviews already covered the game's pros and cons, along with its features. I'll try give my take both as a review and as a journal page. Because there are a few perspectives or some opinions people haven't fleshed out properly or touched upon. I suggest reading other reviews first before reading mine.

Story Mode

I'm usually the type of person who goes in reading as little as possible about the game and try to immerse myself with what it has. Thus for this section I'll try to not spoil much.

Got the latest version, figured I should start with the story part. Based on first impressions it's pretty good. There are only 2 nights as of this review but I am hooked, I like the atmosphere, I want to find out more. The lore is lighthearted, but the horror aspect isn't compromised because of it. It reminds me of, for those who recall, Filthy Frank, who would make all kinds of over the top or silly amateur style skits and then out of nowhere you'd get shots with well-thought cinematography, filters, color correction and so on, or an unexpected life lesson. Same with this game. It has this conflicting duality that works.

That said, there were some gameplay problems. Night 2 in particular had two sections that needed a lot of trial and error to realize what you have to do without a guide. And not very forgiving for mistakes. I'm not a fan of handholding the player thru content, but when I'm in tight corridors where at any corner there can be an animatronic with instant detection, I can't take many risks. And I can't take things too slowly either. It makes me wish I could peek around corners or have proper vantage points to plan my actions.
Not long after, there was a vent part where not only was it tedious to know if I'm making any progress, but the first time I got stuck unable to move from a wrong turn where I tried to go upwards a slope.

Oh and some of the posters or notes had randomly turned in spanish despite the language selected being english.

Arcade Mode

At first I thought the story section is a sort of tutorial for the arcade mode. Sadly only the first night gives you some insight.

As of this review, I had to download a downgraded version of the game to play this part because this mode has been currently disabled. Which from what I saw also contained the scenes gallery. So you can't fap to old stuff you may have unlocked before unless you have a second downgraded copy of the game. This could be fixed if the dev just made everything of this nature accessible from the main menu as opposed to a specific game mode that got disabled, even if temporarily. I know the data is there somewhere because I have unlocked a Krampus scene from testing the Christmas special and it appeared in the old version after I booted it.
Overall, not a good sign regarding management and long term planning if something as simple as this is overlooked.

Everything in this mode is trial and error. And you have no direction other than survive, how to access the flashlight and the laptop. I would be fine with this approach. I like exploring and finding stuff. But this mode is a management game with a lot of time constraint. It doesn't give you the proper time to familiarize yourself.

I go easy mode because I figure this is the best mode to mess around. Obviously, still learning the layout and mechanics, I mess up one of the animatronics, and because I'm taking things too slowly it spirals out of control. I lose. Not a big deal. I have a better understanding of the game. Now I'll just try aga-
"-500$ for playing on easy".
Wait what?
"-100$ for missing all these tasks"
Yea I was working on it and-
"-150$ for the scene" ...great.
And based on the way you can get out of debt, this seems like a deliberate choice to bully the players early on. I get that the intent is to make you hate the boss more, but it's just not done well. There are better ways to approach this.

I think the dev thought it's obvious how to play the game and do the chores (speaking of which, took me a while to realize the wine bottle and condom machine part because I didn't realize, that out of all the place, the items were in my office the whole time), making the money reward based on how much you survive, then imposing a fixed tax if on easy mode. I think this should've been a percentage of what you earn taxed, not a fixed amount.

It's obvious this game mode is a sort-of recreation of the FNAF game mechanics with some tasks to do so you go out and have a reason to risk your life. While I haven't played those games myself, I have watched others do it. And I even saw a video about how the first game works at its roots. Long story short: RNG elements with increasing difficulty during gameplay where various rules for each animatronic are there so you don't try to exploit the game. There are stuff to learn from it.

In my opinion it's important to focus on the foundation and add mechanics that work together in harmony all while bringing a balanced gameplay. If the foundation is flawed, then the whole thing will feel flawed. For a horror focused game, unpredictability is a key aspect.
What we get instead is timers. On all animatronics. The approach is basically the same. Sure the activity to get more time before they go berserk is slightly different for each one, but the core is the same. And that makes it predictable. There are barely any RNG elements to keep you on your toes. Once you find the optimal route to take, every night becomes one of two very similar scenarios. You could let them out on purpose for a different experience, but you're not incentivized to do so.
Not to mention that you're not in danger if you just stay locked in your room. Farming for currency becomes similar to an idle game.

I have no doubts that the creator is a fan of FNAF 2. He really liked the management and stressful aspect of that particular game. In my opinion, the arcade mode needs to be revamped with unpredictable aspects that focus on the player's ability to plan a vague route and improvise when needed. The random electricity blackout is a good start but there should be both positive and negative random events. Make hard mode the one focused on upmost management and speedrun strats.

Oh, speaking of hard mode. It's not worth the effort. Even with the "diagonal" exploit of walking faster, it's a hard and unrewarding challenge. It's worth a shot if you don't have Bonfie unlocked yet. With her it's going to be chaos relatively early.

The scenes

Compared to other people, I don't see anything wrong for a game like this to have scenes on loss. That said I can see why it can be frustrating to have to choose between advancing thru the game and getting scenes. Usually you want to feel like you earn the scene, not a complementary reward for losing. From my perspective, I still make progress somewhere, be it money to buy items or more scenes to my gallery. That's why I'm fine with it.

A major problem however is getting the scenes that require extra, usually cryptic, steps. You may need to spend a few rounds of pure money making to afford the items. Then, even if you know what you have to do, if you rush too quick, you lose a lot of cash. Money that you may need either now or later.
I'm fine with grindy repetitive games. But only if the challenge gets easier and easier with the time I have invested. At the moment the grind is a time sink that's not rewarding enough. Luckily, you can cheat to get money as a last resort.

How fappable the scenes are, that's subjective. Personally, I like them.

Conclusion

Good presentation, but I have a feeling the dev bit more than he can chew. He is basically working on two different games in parallel. One focused on adventure and horror, the other being management and scenes. Free mode needs to be made so people can practice or mess around.

The Christmas special seems like a weird thing to add this quickly in development, at best servers as a testing ground for concepts.
Also, I shouldn't need a guide for the scenes. You don't have time to experiment. So, in my opinion, the game should have a hint system to point me in the right direction. Maybe buy hints with money. Exception should be Golden Frenni . It's fine for her be cryptic or convoluted.

I know the game isn't fleshed out to its fullest, but there are ways to add bandaids to the game to circumvent the limitations until the game reaches its full potential. That's assuming the developer doesn't get burned out or milk the situation. Time will tell.

Seems pretty decent so far, however overall I feel this game feels pretty fustrating to play. The main story is still in development and its alright. My main problem is the Christmas special where you have to go through a maze and it have to start from zero everytime you fail it. It also has a FPS section? I really don't understand why its there since I can't say its a fun section at all. the weapon they give you feels awfully clunky and doesn't even seem to consistently hit enemies at times. I think there's a bug where the healing items just don't work too? It just feels strange how much effort they seem to have put into this Christmas special instead of progressing with Story.

I really enjoy this game as it has stuff to appreciate that a lot of h-games these days lack. Character and fun gameplay. You can feel the amount of effort put into this game if, like me, you've played plenty of other h-games first. I'm a big fan of the "gameplay first, sexy later" type approach it has, as most other porn games aren't fun to go through, you're dragging on for the scenes, plain and simple. This one is actually trying to be a GAME. The humor is unique and got a few chuckles out of me at times as well. Although the game is lacking somewhat in the sex department, I view this as a good thing as the devs are ensuring the game is as enjoyable an experience as possible as their main priority. Just means more time for later updates to build upon the catalog of scenes when everything else is more or less finished, and the game is hot and fun to play. Although I hardly play 3D games (because most suck let's be real), I'm happy I gave this one a chance. Looking forward to arcade mode 2.0 when it drops.

This game is a cut above what you'd usually find on this site, high production values and actual gameplay and story. With the addition of Night 2 the story mode looks to be getting really good with a murder mystery and the plot ratcheting up. Once arcade mode is fixed this game will be in great shape. I am a Fexa simp btw.

I didnt expect much, because i thought i would just be another bad made fnaf game, but this really is a hidden gem, the scenes are good and the gameplay is good and its even scary at some parts, which i didnt really expect. Truly the best fnaf H-game. Sadly there isnt that much content yet.

This is a really fun game but I can't rate it higher due to some issues.

CONS
>Settings don't save, so you have to adjust every time you do a run.
>The shop is really expensive, so expect to do some grinding.
>Some items are vague to what they do.
>The animatronics have a ridiculous sight range, which makes it damn near impossible to get pass them without the spray.
>If the lights go out, then you might as well start over, if your task are not finished or you are very close with a breaker.
>Animatronics can catch you through walls if you are too close.
>Frenni's H scene can't be skipped through.
>The flamethrower is so bad that it makes Dead Space's flamethrower blush.
>Elf animatronics can still hit you while they are in a stun state.
>Hitting more than one animatronic with the flamethrower is possible, maybe?
>Can't skip cutscenes.
PROS
Pretty good humor.
Replay value is high, due to hidden items and locations.
The Animatronics looks good.
Interested to where the story could go.
Playing at a higher difficulty rewards you better.
Club's music don't get tedious to listen to.

People in this site really don't know how to make reviews, this game really REALLY doesn't deserve above 3 stars. Lest be honest, we all came here to FAP, and I review games based solely on that aspect, the other things I also apreciate but the porn and the good time you are gonna have are my priority. And with this game you are NOT gonna have a good time.

THE GAMEPLAY it's tedious and punishes you.

THE SCENES not that bad but definitly not that great, just average scenes that doesn't deserve 4 stars, and they are kind of hard to get.

And that's just about everything that really cares for me, definitly not a good experience.

TLDR; not the greatest fnaf game here like people say, just like every other fnaf game here

The game is pretty calm and relaxing, sometimes you might get scared because it is dark and all but it's ok, there's always an exit menu.

1. The game itself it's pretty interesting, sadly the game doesn't have a complete story yet.

2. You need to keep a couple of things in check, always keep calm in case you fail or forget to keep one of them in check. You can always hide.

3. The game has a nice ambiance, at start you might download this game when you were horny but when you play it feels kind of scary.

4. The tasks are simple enough but keeping them in check it's kind of hard while doing tasks, when more time passes "their" distractions get awfully faster to deplete. So it's inevitably to one of them to escape and try to hunt you, you can always hide in the kitchen's vent (it's near the fridge) but at least complete a task or two (if you can).

5. The game has an arcade mode and there's also a shop, the shop offers quite a few useful items that are permanent and some consumables that can help you a lot.

6. The skins might need a little work since there's only the nude skin which kind of disappointed me but there are nice, of course. (Edit: nvm just found out that there are more skins, I am just blind.)

7. The lore is pretty simple and forward. A guy needs cash and takes it, in the way he might discover the truth of the place where he works at.

Thanks for reading this (I think) and thank you for your time, have a nice morning/afternoon/evening.

Review of version v0.1.9

Another FNAF porn game ,but this time you are not bound to your computer and can roam the place.....but you have to always return to your computer to keep the animatronics busy.......

Cons:
-The walking animation is way to wobbly.
-You cant adjust mouse sensitivity or rebind buttons.
-The default mouse sensitivity is ass.
-Crouching does nothing in regards to stealth. Its only for the ventilations.
-If the animatronics only see a pixel of you or feel your aura they are on your ass. No real detection or stealth.
-Dragging something from the inventory is way to dumb. For example: You have to gather certain items , you gather them all, you go to the blue spots showing what to place where, then you click nothing happens. Gamer instinct kicks in you press "E" nothing happens, you press space and get an inventory and then you have to drag every item from the item menu to the blues space., But you have to hold space or you need to reopen the item menu and maybe need to scroll to the last item in the slot because you need that one. I have never seen such a way of managing items in a game or porn game.
-The gameplay is tedious. It consists of clicking the music box at the PC, watching foxy and rewinding the microwave in the kitchen. All these things keep the animatronics from becoming active, because when they get active you can forget doing anything. And in the short seconds you have before you need to do all three things you can MAYBE do one task. Sometimes you need to do all things, get the item, repeat and place the item and there you have the gameplay loop. Watch Foxy, rewind music box, rewind microwave go do shit rince and repeat and if one animatronic does break loose just close the office doors and wait (watch a youtube video or something) to end the shift, because of the bugged "Stealth" you will always be seen by them. You could easily just stay in the office close all doors and wait till your shift ends. You would get 500 which is more if you try and fail. Even if the lights go out and you have your doors closed you get 500 in the end.
-All the above mentioned things are not explained in the game or I did not find it.
-Game penalizes you for trying to play easy to just enjoy A SEX GAME. ." No fun allowed you dumb casual, play as intended or get the fuck out of my game"

Pros:
+A shop for skins
+The models are very good.
+Good voice acting
+Amazing soundtrack
+Good Main Menu
+Interesting spin on the FNAF games.


The animations are meh. Did not saw many since the goal of the game is getting money and not getting sex. Maybe if you grind enough and got everything you can try to have sex.

This game was not made to play and have fun and its not made to jerk off to.

if im rich，i will give you my all money
and here some desires
1.plz give us a savedata list but not just only one savedata，if we ignore
the secret scene just like futa s ，so tired to cover the nearlist data
2.plz put the points on your story，and more cg！i ned it！
so do these hornys！right！

Only play this if you have played and enjoyed the game it is parodying.

I have not played that game.

As a result, even at the easy setting of arcade I have zero idea what to do. It would be alright, if the game didn't actively PUNISH you for not understanding/failing and that is just the single worst game mechanic in every game ever. With three difficulty settings you have zero excuse for punishing a player who can't orientate themselves. No. Just no.

I exit the room, i start doing stuff, eventually the girls arrive and they just go for me and take me out. Then I get NEGATIVE MONEY. At easy. I'm sorry, what!? What am I supposed to be doing?

There is no information on how I'm actually supposed to play this. I'm sure if I now go and study and watch a video of the original game or try a bunch of things I might figure it out, but I've spent about an hour and all I can do is go out, get caught, all my money disappears and I've accomplished zero and seen one scene.

Sorry, but that to me is inexcusable. I understand why you might enjoy it if you play the original, but the simple fact there is ZERO reason why "easy" difficulty still actively removes money from you if you fail is just bad game design.

Very flawed.

Models are good, but they're the work of cryptiacurves. Everything else related to the work the devs have done has issues.

Core gameplay loop isn't too bad; it's an actual game. But, it's repetitive, where there are only two sets of chores, in arcade mode. There's a lot of dumb filler content. A lot of old scenes have been removed and are completely unviewable. Save data is located in the registry, which is a pain in the ass to back-up or import.

its good what do i have to say? most 3d games here kinda suck in either lighting or graphics but this is good in both (also why in the world is the review forced to be more than 200 characters i hate it

Don't usually rate games on this site but this is criminally underrated. The game's main story is short atm but there is tons to do in arcade and special event, was a blast to grind and a genuinely good game experience with good h scenes too.

I see alot of care and potential in this game. The graphics are good, the memes make me laugh, and the effort is visible. I can see these creators care. Is it perfect, no and nothing is. The game can have moments where performance takes a dive and my computer really heats up. I would like to see more variety in missions for arcade mode. However, this game is still early relatively early in developmment and all these things are fixable over time, and I believe that it can be done. I look forward to seeing more from the story as well.

Can't give it more than 3/5.

Pretty fun for a short time, but there is not much content. Content can always be added later so if that was the only issue I would have rated it higher. The most glaring issue is the "five nights at freddy" concept.

Five nights is a horror game in which you try to stay alive. You're actively trying to avoid contact with the game characters.

But in this game even though you need to avoid the character to win. You don't really want to avoid the characters because the scenes are activated if they catch you.

I ended up just running towards the characters to watch the animations. And that was that. I mean, there's no game left, because it's not scary, nor is it particularly thrilling to hear a man moan loudly during the animations. Actually.. now that I'm reminded of that, -1 star for the loudly moaning man.

The gameplay is just not there to be honest. You have to finish all these things as long as the animatronics are busy. The game tells you, how you might avoid the animatronics but really there is no avoiding them, since they all patrol the massive room in the middle where you always need to go. At the moment, if you're hit by a blackout, its basically a 100% game over scenario.
What this leads to is basically you do all the things necessary to keep them busy, so you can finish the side quests. Or you let the Animatronics leave and hide out in your room with doors that you can close. If there is a blackout, that's it game over.
There are some things you can buy to make it easier but these are also semi-useful at best. Especially since if one animatronic wakes up, you have little options left to keep the rest busy. So if one leaves, every other one will too.
That said the AI is also not particularly smart or anything. You can trick them easily by going into a vent or they even get stuck sometimes. But then they usually patrol the same area for a while, so have fun being stuck in a vent I guess.
Animations are not so good, very clunky, quite a bit of clipping sometimes, barely anything on the models itself move.
Like its not bad when you start playing but it quickly becomes just this goose chase, hiding in your room kind of game. Stealth elements? Barely there if at all.

STORY .../5: There is only one night available in the story and makes just as much sense as the lore and story of the game this is based on. No rating as this game this is in very early development.

ART 5/5: This game uses the models of CryptiaCurves, which is a good choice. Personally these are the most attractive these cast of characters have ever been modeled. At the time of writing (Version 0.17) there are alternate outfits for Freddy and Bonnie counterparts that are all great additions to the game. Not all art is avaiable to be viewed in the gallery which is a shame, because they are incredibly hot.

SCENES 4/5: The protagonist is incredibly hard to look at and ruins scenes such as Foxy's missionary. (There is an option to hide the body during these scenes, but these always look awkward). Another issue comes with the like of physics in their asses. They are so fat, greatly modeled but do noting but be stiff during sex scenes (But I'm a boob guy so I can overlook it). Overall these are great and will keep coming back to these scenes when im in the heat for FNAF.

GAMEPLAY 1/5: This is a sex as punishment game. These games are the most common and the most annoying to deal with. Unless you have forgiving mechanics to allow the player to enjoy some sex scenes without resetting too much progress then you have an incredibly flawed game. The current bread and butter to the game is the arcade mode and in order to succeed; which is measured by ending the night with a profit. You need to complete all your tasks and avoid the waitresses .

There lies the issue, in order to progress in the game to unlock sex scenes the player needs to avoid sex. Grinding out the nights on at least normal difficulty as playing on easy punishes you by taking away some of your profit. The money earned during these nights are used to buy items on the shop to unlock more scenes and costumes. The requirements to unlock other scenes are obtuse and would need a guide for. Most if not all sex scenes require the player to wait out the timers tying the characters to their corners or waiting for an event such as the power running out. Unlocking these sex scenes end the night, thus resetting progress.

The developers try to patch the difficulty of managing the tasks and keeping eyes on the waitresses by giving you a companion that can distract the waitresses, but at this point why not remodel the gameplay loop so I don't need to grind out nights to unlock a mechanic that feels like a cheese.


FINAL THOUGHTS:
This game is saved by having a gallery mode with cheats you can find in this thread as trying to play through the arcade mode is frustrating. These characters and scenes are incredible through, I'd rather stare are Frenni's dance and listen to the sounds of sex on the cameras then play the arcade mode... 2/5

[v0.1.7] Stylish and entertaining game!

The sound effects chosen by the devs are hilarious ("Joker's" reactions ect).
I don't really play FNOF but this was fun and spooky.

I just hope they fix the loading times and change its 3 sec loop music. I usually don't give high ratings to unfinished games but this one was really stylish and atmospheric which are what i expect in games.

Adding this to my "check for updates" list

still some room for improvement, but has tons of potential. gameplay is solid, but the devs need to focus more on actual content additions (story mode) instead of shitposts and memes. the sex scenes are solid, very good. Another issue is that the costumes you buy don't show up in the sex scenes, and if you bought the futa pack, the girls lose their dicks in sex scenes.
