Unity - Fap Nights at Frenni's Night Club [v0.2.8] [FATAL FIRE Studios]

Played this for quite some time and IT WAS GREAT.
It's actually fun to play for starters BUT I just wished the devs would work on it more frequently but regardless of that everything is nice.
The arcade mode is actually quite challenging and engages dumbasses like me to actually deadass learn how to play the game.
This game to sum up is a must try.
rating it a 9/10.

This game has really fallen off. At first it was basic animations and a story that was passable, then it was stopping the story for holiday themed minigames with decent animations. Now finally here we are. The story has been cut and we have exclusively arcade mode, new scenes are drip fed to us and there are tons of pointless cosmetics in the name of "content updates"

Don't waste your time with this game people, they even put in a god damn anti cheat into the game to stop people from cheating money and unlocking scenes, which half of them you won't even care about because they have no penetration.

So overall I would say is fantastic.

There is 1 problem, reason for 4 stars and not 5, but I will explain at the end.

Gameplay wise, is excellent. It is actually fun. You have some task to perform each night which require you to go out of the office, putting yourself at risk of not restarting the girls timers. The difficulties are nailed. Easy is easy, extremely so, and perfect for learning the mechanics of the game. Normal is pretty nice to play casually, is entertaining, and you can slightly mess up and still complete all assignments. Hard is the best "hard" I have played, it is not easy to be boring, but it is also not impossible. I would say that everything gameplay wise is nailed in this game except for the lewd stuff (again why at the end).

That's it for arcade. Story wise is a little green. There are only 2 nights, the first one is more of a learning experience, and there is not much to experience. The second one is good, like there were sometimes where I actually got scared, and jump scared since I could not hear chiku (not using headphones). So I must say for a lewd game, the horror aspect of the 2nd night was decent.

Scene wise is also good. Sure, there is some clipping and the fluids are a WIP, but I would say there are well-made enough., for a sort of demo. I really liked some of them, and having a shit ton of costumes, did help extend its replayability.

The problem is with the HOW to get the scenes. There are some games, specially side scrollers, where you have to lose to get the scenes. Fine you just got back to the checkpoint and done, you have the scene and there is not much impact to game flow (there is still impact, I am just saying it is not that bad) The problem here is that the scene ends the night. And considering you are paid hourly, that is actually an extremely effective way of choosing between lewd scene and gameplay. Besides, you are charged more for doing lewd thing with the girls.

Normally I do not complain about losing to get scenes types of games. But in this one is awful. Like the game design goes way too much against the porn content of it. I believe that for a lewd game, having a gameplay that not only goes against lewd, but severely hampers it, is a big downside.

I am still giving it 4 stars, despite the terrible incorporation of the lewd side to the gameplay, because its quality is really high. Non-lewd gameplay is fun. And the lewd aspects are actually arousing/creepy, which is what I believe suit the game style.

So overall, if there is some way of joining both porn and gameplay, without breaking either one. It will become an instant 5 star, and one of the fucking top ones, since I believe very few games can top this gameplay. Maybe Karryns prison, or captivity. But really it has been a while since I have fun playing these types of games... like not the arousing type fun, but the fun fun.

Funny story, enhanced fnaf like gameplay with many little extras that show a ton of love for creating the game. Also banger soundtrack that i also listen on youtube music and voice acting! High quality production.

best game the story is really cool with the character animations and the sounds really well made the Christmas event i rely enjoyed i hope they continue that one fits the theme well . just hope they made the updates faster and its free to play not like other greedy gamedevs

Nice game hope to see more in the future, also a steam version would be great in the future if possible. the renders are insane tbh, the humor is good too......................................................

current ver. at review time is v.0.2.7x
i'm only reviewing the arcade mode now since the story mode seems to be taking a backseat in development anyway.


CURRENT STATE OF DEVELOPMENT:
costume-focused feature creep is pushing out any other interesting development and i think the dev is either speading themselves too thin trying to co-dev the story AND arcade modes or just falling into apathy over actually deving the game and instead just pushing out skins and gacha cards to make some illusion of progress. either way i hope they find their groove and get more significant development going- i actually really liked the story mode update and think the arcade mode could benefit from some of its features making their way back (especially a bigger map, please god a bigger map.)


GAMEPLAY:
you spend half the night doing tasks while holding the girls at bay, then the other half doing a slide puzzle and hiding in a vent. it seems like the game really wants you to actually engage with the girls as they eventually escape their rooms but the map is way too small for that. it's a deathwish to wander into the main area after even a single one of them escapes, and if you haven't finished your tasks by then the best choice is to alt+f4 and try again.

the tasks are what you'd expect: clean this, refill that, pick up garbage, move boxes. it's a lot to do for such a tiny map and it can feel like a real slog when you can only do one or two things before you have to sprint back to the office to reset a bunch of timers.

the shop offers very little in terms of meaningful upgrades, and once you get what few there are the rest of your green is spent on skins for the girls. not much incentive when you only see them through blurry cams or for the 3 seconds they're chasing you before you gameover.


SEX CONTENT:
the animations are... fine. some clipping and wonky spraying fluid vfx and stock sound effects make them a little awkward but there's enough variety and quality to at least make the game fun enough to replay until you unlock them all. some better hints/direction on how to unlock specific animations would be nice, though i guess that is kind of asking the game to hold your hand a bit... can't say i find myself revisiting the gallery for them though, and i'm too busy tryharding to enjoy the animations when they actually show up in-game.

i think the game might benefit from finding some way to work in sex as an actual mechanic- maybe instead of an instant game-over getting caught would give you a time and pay penalty, but reset the girl to her room and continue the night.


OVERALL:
a half-decent fnaf-like that has okay animations and very poor difficulty scaling. i think the game could benefit from a lot of way way way overdue balance and mechanic tweaking.

if it weren't for how fast the girls' meters run out, or how small the map is, or how tedious it is to manage 4 separate timers at one time, the gameplay loop would be a lot more interesting. all of these together basically make the game unplayable once you use your padoru 3 times and she fucking padoru-splodes. at least there's a gallery, but the devs' feature creep is making that less and less of a pro as updates march on.

Honnestly, a masterpiece in humour and the scenes are fucking great. Haven't tried arcade mode yet but seems to be the most replayable part of the game and the skins look dope. Only critique I could make is some dialogues can be annoying to witness after the first time, but that's honnestly not a real issue

Shouldn't work but does!

Gameplay 6/10

Extremely grindy, "christmas" event has to be completed multiple times to unlock a single scene.

Other game mode is FNAF styled, but you go around the rooms collecting stuff before nightfall, you just hide the rest of the time.

Art 8/10

No motivation to run away from these hotties. The CG ain't great but is super sexy.

Story 7/10

FNAF job but you gotta try not to fuck the animatronics. It's a comedy with some decent funny moments, christmas event is voiced.

Amount of Content 6/10

Needs mores porn or less grind. The Christmas event gets super repetitive real fast, I don't want to do it 4 times to unlock a scene

v0.2.6.
Probably the best FNAF parody game available - and, no, I didn't make a mistake and mean to say FNAF *porn* game - it would still be the legit best even if there was no lewd content. The gameplay loop is innovative while being true to its roots, and having character progression available through unlockables is a nice touch that encourages replayability and challenging yourself. The story mode is actually very good, particularly night 2. Night 1 feels like a tutorial but night 2 has compelling horror elements and new gameplay. Now, for the negatives.

As many have already stated, the game is in development hell, and although that is mostly on the dev, part of it is because the fans who help fund the game seem to keep voting for more and more frivolous cosmetic content instead of meaningful game progression. Despite my praise for the gameplay loop, it eventually capstones and ultimately becomes a grind to unlock content. The porn scenes are acceptable quality but limited (I think some other reviews already described this well). Basically, enjoy the scenes if you want, but don't play it solely for unlocking scenes. As far as bugs, naturally games will be slightly buggy in development, but nothing has outright broken for me yet.

Story & humor is very subjective. I will say that the story seems to be thought out already and not made-up-as-you-go, so there is a strong foundation there. Overall I would say that the writing is good, and the jokes are consistent with the game's style. Basically, the story & humor are well done, but you have to have a taste for these kinds of jokes to enjoy them.

The tldr: prioritize playing this if you want a solid 3D free-roam FNAF parody, with bonus points if you enjoy lewd anthro girls, but the gameplay stagnates quickly into a meaningless cosmetic grind.

3.5/5.0, game has a lot of unrealized potential. Hoping for more, but not expecting it.

I like this game, I hope to play the sequel soon.
I hope they continue to release more story mode, I really enjoyed chapters 1 and 2 and I'm looking forward to chapters 3 and 4.
Congratulations on the art and story of this game.
Please don't stop making this game.

it is 4 am
arcade mode 0.2.6:
for a free-roam fnaf game the gameplay loop is alright, for a normal game it is boring. there is very little variation in the tasksets. you can sum up all of the tasks to pick up stuff and put them somewhere. the biggest variation between tasksets is a blackout but they just ruin the run. the main appeal of the gameplay to me was trying to speedrun the tasks. however, you have to constantly check up on the animatronics.
grinding for the scenes was definitely not worth it. it took me 5-7 hours to get all the scenes. also, there are like no hints on how to get the scenes. the design of the models are great but the animations are poor and the sounds are barely synced and don't really match. getting all the youhube videos took me an extra hour because you have a like 1/10 chance of getting one every night.
xxxmas special 0.2.2:
part 1 is ok. it is just a maze that gets you a scene when you die. part 2 is very annoying. you defend yourself against robots with a flamethrower. it has way too much cutscenes that take up like half of your time playing. enemies get stunned when hit but can still attack you. they explode which one shots you and has a long windup. you are forced to trade damage with the flamethrower enemy (the only ranged enemy). on hard mode they deal 30 damage and die in 2 hits. in one section multiple of them can spawn. checkpoints are badly placed; one starts you way too far back and one sits you through a cutscene.

Story Mode RATING 3/5
Actually not that bad (for a porn game)... somewhat cringe at times with shitty memes and especially the ara ara stuff is really cringe, but overall the graphics are nice and it could have potential. Sadly it's not that interesting, the scenes are mediocre and you only get them if you lose (classic shitty porn game idea of gameplay), the models are great don't get me wrong but you don't really get to see much of them in order to enjoy them. Only 2 girls "stories" are currently available to play and the first one is pretty underwhelming as I guess an intro to the game, overall it's not great but whatever I guess you can give it a try it's pretty short.

Arcade Mode RATING 3/5
Well it's just like everyone else says, it's insane how much money you actually need to unlock anything, I instantly went into regedit and changed the money. And if the gameplay was actually interesting and fun I would say alright I can put up with this, but it's pretty repetitive and not that fun, it's nice that you can dress the girls in some different outfits but other than that I don't see why the scenes need to be so hard to unlock anyway it could be done a lot better.

XXXMAS Mode RATING: 2/5
Absolutely dreadful, the maze was kinda fun but all that ends as soon as the second part starts on the elfbot fighting, holy shit it’s so ridiculously easy to die, especially against the flamebots, I lost my shit and I had to use cheat engine for a lot of candy so I don’t die a lot. But even then I died way too many times(I might have played the game on hard but I won't play this shit again on easy just to test that theory), I can’t say it’s really worth it playing this mode at all if you ask me and it’s ridiculous how hard and quite boring the "story" is.

I laughed a lot when I've found Dorime easter egg. However it was pretty fun to play this shifts. And girls... Oh, really nice models, but... I dunno... maybe a bit more variants of interaction?

I wonder what's developers will add next.

Yes, Thank for this game type "Timeskip". Actually don't believed that game exist, when see some .webm. Well I love that 3D models, very ahm... Thicc? Usually I like flat body but here, not flat, look's garmonic, don't know why.
Well cool, yep.

You'll want cheats installed so you can just access everything. The gameplay loop isn't terrible, but at that point, just go play base FNAF. Scenes and models are god tier however. Appreciate all the work put into it though.

This game probably has the most "content" of any other FNAF +18 parody, but most of that content honestly isn't very good.

It seems to be in development hell thanks to letting patreon voters decide what gets worked on, which is probably why the game is filled to the brim with meme references, the biggest of which being the Christmas special which is probably double the length of Story mode at this point with half of it being a parody of Resident Evil 4, but it only has two H-scenes and middling gameplay that just pads out time to around an hour or more.

Because the game is separated into Story mode, Arcade mode, and the Christmas special, development moves at a glacier pace for anything to get done since work is spread out across all three modes rather than dedicating work to one mode and finishing it. Arcade and Story mode were bugged for the longest time and eventually had to be separated into different builds that you need to download.

Story mode is whatever, it's a meme filled campaign with tons of jokes of you getting raped or fired. But whoever was in charge of Arcade mode needs to go back to the drawing board or get fired. Gameplay just consist of running back and fourth between your PC and resetting the pizza oven to keep the girls from going berserk. This leaves you with hardly any time to get task done and upgrades are exorbitantly expensive for how little you make per night. And with how small the map is, if one of the girls starts wandering then you might as well reset the night because winning after that is basically impossible. And once you do finish all task, you just AFK in the office while running to reset the pizza timer to keep Chika from wandering.

Then there's the quality of the sexual content in the game. A lot of the animations are pretty basic and on the lower end of what you'd expect looking at this game. They have awkward camera angles, not enough motion, no physics, and no actual penetration/deformation that you see on other 3D games, and a very weak climax with an ugly protagonist. Scenes have a POV mode as a bonus, but you cant control where the camera looks and you mostly cant see anything anyways due to being too close to the characters/how large they are. The main draw of this game seems to be playing a harder version of FNAF with sexy girls rather than the actual 18+ content itself.

Evaluating this game in its current state is quite messy, since there are 3 different modes that seem completely unrelated to each other (The Arcade, The Story and the Christmas Special), they are even divided into 2 separate builds.
If I had to judge the story mode by itself, I would say that is a parody project with great potential, but for me the arcade mode is unbearable and the Christmas mode is an insult and a waste of time.

The Arcade is grindy as fuck and the game loop is broken from its foundations, since very unlike FNaF (the material to be parodied) surviving the nights here is summarized in running like an maniac between the computer and the microwave preventing the animatronics from waking up, leaving you with a miserable gap of time to complete the secondary goals, I would appreciate a fucking minimal key binding since pressing LShift almost permanently destroys my pinky, or at least the sprint act doesn't require to holding it down all the time.
Once they wake up it's almost impossible to win, plus, like many erotic games unfortunately, we have the dichotomy between punishing the player with sex content when this should be the reward for playing right, not the opposite. This means that to see the content that this parody deserves and is intended to be, you have to lose on purpose.

Then, we have the Christmas mode, a clear demonstration of how not to cannibalize the development that could be invested in finishing the main story, since the Christmas special almost triples the duration of the current story mode and it's clearly noticeable how the creative vision regarding this special took turns from one moment to another.
At first, it looks like a festive relief that's rewarded with a juicy erotic scene, but then it loses its way and suddenly you have to embark on a strange satire of Resident Evil 4 that is gamewise atrocious, devoid of sexual content and drags on to infinity.
That Christmas special destroyed all my patience and good faith for the game.

Outside of that, I highlight in the project a great sense of humor and a disproportionate use of memes, especially latin american ones, which if you aren't a Spanish speaker, the english localization kills the meaning of many jokes due to its jargon and local nature.
An overload of memes becomes cringeworthy at times, but it fits with the atmosphere of the project and the fact that it's a parody.
And finally, there is a lot of variety of costumes but the game lacks the most important thing, variety of sex animations. Since always seeing the same ones for every occasion gets old very quickly. I also don't understand why, having a budget, the creative team uses free-royalty music when they could perfectly afford an original music composition.

5/10.

This game runs great and I like the gameplay loop. One of the criticisms is that the map is a bit too small and is extremely hard to move around without spray and a little companion with the ability to stun. Also I wish the developers would add more content to story mode. Not just sex scenes but cool easters eggs or mini game, honestly anything. Meanwhile for arcade the developers should add alternatives sex scenes because I feel that the game is lacking in the department or just experiment with expanding the map with new objectives.
