HTML - Female Agent [v1.20.1p] [Crushstation]

This was a game that grabbed me -- grabbed a lot of people as well. It's got a substantial following because of where it's been and the promise it offered.

That was...3? 4? 5 years ago? And what has happened with the game in the interim?

A couple 'restarts' where content that was great was scrapped in lieu of forward momentum. And that forward momentum? Still waiting.
Where the game used to have arcs and choices and customization, now it's a railroad Visual Novel without many visuals.

'Features' like your spy's cover being blown exist for all of one update and then are ignored/forgotten/discarded.

Character consistency is...negligible at best. Even with a one-path story, the author can't seem to figure out what kind of character he's trying to have as his protag.

And then...the development cycle is absolutely abysmal. The paltry content released each round takes him 3+ months. And that's with all of the issues I just mentioned.

Avoid this game like the plague if you are considering supporting it. Enjoy the free content when it hits here and then feel free to forget the game exists for about a year or so and come back and see if there's anything new or interesting.

There won't be, but at least it will have enough content after a year to have an interesting playthrough.

After X years and from what i understand equal amount of rewrites/do-overs i started to play it i like the idea i liked some of the things... BUT the game mechanics are all over the place.. its like the Dev found something he liked, integrated it then found the next shiny thing and forgot about the one before, rinse and repeat as for now a linear VN would be better, since practical choices don't matter. i'm sad to see that a good idea got fubared so badly.

the waits are long between updates, but it's worth it. the creator isn't rushing things for quick payoffs and is really taking his time with it. Even managing to throw in stuff like emotions, you can't make the MC a filthy slut immediatly, he makes you earn it.

Honestly a very tough game to review.

This was one of the first games i played here 5-6 years ago.
I really enjoyed the game, but it was in very early development.
I followed the game for some time, but the updates were so slow that i eventually forgot about it.

I found the game again back in march and enjoyed how much content had been added since i last played. The update in april came not long after i rediscovered this game and was quite good. This last update today however was not worth the wait and reminded me why i gave up on this game in the first place.

The game it self has quite a good story, but not much game play.
There are a few customization options, but nothing that really impacts the game. There are a few choice and dice rolls, but they only give minor branches for the specific scene, but no impact on the game otherwise.

This game has the potential to be one of the best, but at this pace it will unfortunately never get there.

If you have never played it before, I would definately recommend that you give it a playthrough, then come back in a few years.

A very difficult game to write a review for. It's undergone multiple re-writes and overhauls over the years. The way I see it, given that it's obviously not finished, is that the only way to fairly review something like this is to judge not only its current content but also its future prospects, meaning that things like the developer's behavior play a part.

On paper the game seems great. The writing/editing is done by somebody with a decent grasp on the English language, which isn't always a given in this genre. The game is easy to play and doesn't make any obvious, frustrating design failures like removing the rewind function or limiting save scumming, meaning you can play the way you want. The currently available sexual content is decent and it feels like you're constantly uncovering new avenues for future sexual encounters.

Unfortunately that's all the nice things I can say about it, and there's caveats to those things as well.

While the sexual content is nice it's also almost completely without player agency. You WILL get fucked by your boss, multiple times, and your character WILL enjoy it, even if only subconsciously. There's also very, very little of it. If you read through the entire thing without skipping it'll take hours and you'll maybe stumple into a sex scene every 30-40 minutes. It's also just sex (but only with your boss) and a few blowjobs, nothing particularly racy or raunchy.

Those avenus for future sexual content I mentioned? Almost none of them have paid off in even the slightest way. You're constantly being introduced to new patrons at the club, guys from all over the world that want to get their hands on your character, but they never really do. They might grope or paw here or there but you can't do anything with them. When they ask your only options will be "no" or "flirty no". The same guys have come in to interact with your character 3-5 times each across multiple updates and yet they've done absolutely nothing, and there's nothing on the horizon for them either. At this point I think there's probably around 15 different characters that have all had some sort of set-up with zero signs of payoff.

The writing might be good but it's also needlessly verbose and directionless. Every shift at the bar is basically the exact same thing with one or two minor details thrown in to direct the plot followed by the actual story segments where something happens, but the shifts take up the overwhelming majority of the text. The end result was that I just found myself skipping through the "super sexy, so fucking hot " stuff to move the story forward because I knew damn well that nobody was getting fucked or sucked and it was wasting my time.

Crush himself is one of the worst developers out there. This isn't a moral or character judgement since I don't know him personally but purely a criticism of his work ethic and work quality. You need only look at the game's original release date to see that. Nearly 6 whole years, many thousands of dollars in funding and almost nothing to show for it beyond some slightly above average literotica. Your choices do not matter, the story isn't going anywhere, you have no control over your character, the artwork is purely utilitarian and nothing worth mentioning, there's almost no sex and it's unlikely that this will ever change. Just to put things in perspect, Stardew Valley celebrated its 7th anniversary earlier this year, making it only ~1.5 years older than Female Agent, and that's also a game created entirely by one person. I think the comparison speaks for itself.

TL;DR give it a download and try it out if you really enjoy foreplay and public exposure that never goes anywhere, you'll probably bust huge nuts. If you want an RPG, choice, sex variety or anything like that steer clear because it's not there now and it probably never will be.

Very enjoyable. It is a text based game, a paperdoll kinda representation of your character (Female Protag in her 20s)

Images - the graphics for the FMC are nice, even well done. Some drawn images and some real images. Not really any actual porn images used, the feel seems to come directly from the text rather than the images.

I played the Canadian version CSIS, not sure on the others but the attention to detail for both Thailand and Canada were true on the mark. I served in the Military in Canada, and it was surprisingly accurate with many things. Lots of mention of Canadian locations, some slip ups but considering how any representation of Canadian Int or Military in the media is just messed up, seems really good.

Suggests a very wide knowledge base of the Dev, especially if they can be this accurate with the other int services/military refs.

Gameplay was smooth, very well written. No bugs and an awesome progression of the FMC. Finally, no blackmail or porn logic...it makes sense and is rather exciting.

Sex - well written and for a text game, rather fapable.

Recommendations - really some tasteful, sexy porn pics to spice it up a little more. for the sex scenes. To be honest...thats it.

Long gameplay for where it is at in Development.

Enjoyable.

1.18. This mostly-text game deserves a ton of credit for its effort to create some realism with its story: spy jargon, Thailand life, side missions that are gritty and authentic feeling, and believable professional/reputation dilemmas.

Personally, I think this does wonders to make the adult content more enjoyable, and as the game appears to be on the verge of taking a much sharper turn into sex content, I really hope the authenticity doesn't take a hit.

Also some credit for the clean-feeling UI, fluent English writing, and a somewhat non-impactful but still fun character creator and dress/makeup selection.

Not much to the game. Some character customization, but barely any content at all, and a very slow update schedule make this 'game' dead in the water. There's some potential if the developer ever decides to plan out a proper roadmap and remove feature creep (that doesn't advance the game at all).

I am gladly giving 5 stars to this novel

It's best html game i played along with sluted so far.

Narration is awesome and not boring no too long not too short its just on the balance.

Storyline is really interesting and the way of delivery is top notch

Plus since i visited thailand and Bangkok it feels really real for me to visiulise in my brain.

If i may give an advice more sex scene illustrations thank you in advance

keep up the good work !

I've been following this game for a very long time, a lot has been written about the time, removing features and all of that other stuff so I am just going to focus on what we have.

PROS

- Well thought out and well written, the world does feel like a modern setting that we could be living in. Lots of content. Same applies to the story, especially from the character's perspective where she sees realistic situations as something sexual or strange. It's simple but effective.

- Clean UI. Easy to read. Well tested. No errors. Consistent.

- Customisation is great. It isn't something I focus on, but it is really in depth even if it doesn't have too much of an effect on the gameplay.

CONS

- Illusion of choice. My biggest gripe by far. A lot of the choices don't appear to matter. The same goes for the dice rolls. I've actively tried to sabotage the mission, be completely incompetent and it doesn't matter. There is a whole mini-game where you're trying to roll to see key combos. This comes into play for an infiltration mission later - but what was the point? It doesn't have any effect. This happens over and over. I've re-rolled dice and failed, but at best it is just some extra flavour text.

- Forced rape. I never like this in games. If I'm a bad ass agent then I should have a degree of agency even if it means rolling a dice or making a sacrifice. As it stands, you're forced into various sexual acts with no alternative.

- Mentioning the dice, it is a neat feature. But has little to no consequences. I guess that is my overall point - the game is more of a VN with illusion of choice, there are no major choices, there is no femme fatale, you're just dragged from passage to passage.

After playing a lot of html games, i can say this is the best one i've played so far. First of all, the character creation is decent, let's you really feel the character you want to play, but also, after playing through the prequel, you feel in a way more connected to the agent you've built through your own playtrough. I love the interactions, the options, the randomness with the dice rolls in the events, it ads genuinity to the whole story; but so does the characters, i really felt inmersed in the story, thing i don't feel with lots of games after an advanced playthrough. It's, in my opinion, everything i could wish for a good erotic game to have, but with also great new ideas that are being implmented, i hope it'll go for a more enthriving history and fun interactive playthrough, even though, it already has it.

Picture this: You’re browsing the HTML section of F95 and it’s nothing but the usual: Real Porn gifs, stolen art, dialogue written by barely-literate third worlders, just piles of garbage as far as the eye can see. But wait! You see something shimmer under a particularly rancid mound of shit. Can it be? A Twine project that isn’t a shameless cash grab? Impossible, yet true. Female Agent seems to have finally figured out how to do things right. The game offers a dizzying array of customization, from the usual flair of looks and clothing, to a large list of RPG skills that stem from the many life choices you can make throughout the plot. Even minor details, such as getting a trashy tattoo, are noted and brought up in the game. The demo ends before it can start on the main quest, but what you can gather, the project is easily shaping up to be one of the best open-ended porn RPGs on this site.

And then you realize that this is v1.6.3, and that version of the game has been long dead.

Female Agent, in current form, can’t even be called a shell of its previous self. It’s a linear Visual Novel with none of its former attractions still attached. All those RPG skills? Gone! The in-depth character creation that followed you from birth to college? Axed! While the original demo had some placeholder graphics, that habit has not changed at all despite the fact that the project generates thousands of dollars a month on Patreon. Hope you like stock photos and screenshots from Hitman games! The dynamic sex system teased at during the club prowling sequences has been removed for scripted scenes, which, so far, have all been extremely vanilla. Even the original premise of going undercover as a prostitute was nixed in favor of a much less titillating aspect of just being a topless bartender

Don’t bother with this game. Any potential it had has been dashed and squandered for a much more bland experience.

I love corruption in a very slow setting, with a female protagonist. This is the best game I found with these features.
It also helps that the writing by Crushstation is excellent, as is the technical aspect of the game.
The sole thing that is lacking is the possibility to navigate using the keyboard.

-The last update was indeed brilliant, despite the complaints, the concerns, the story was well executed.
-It is a positive to see an update coming out timely, it seems like we are finally seeing progress.
-The background portion of the game is however necessary, perhaps as a part 1 of the game with a portable save, idea would be whatever skills are acquired, have an impact on the difficulty of the dice.
-For those who play these games from 1st release, it is indeed understandable as to why the frustration.
-For those who haven't played it yet, as from the last update until now and hopefully the momentum continues, it is worth playing the game.
-I hope the next update comes in timely and filled with content also.
I am playing from version 16 and now 18, I mustve missed 17.

It has been 5½ years now, and the pace of development is glacially slow. Initially, I liked the illusion of choice in character generation, but once the game begins all of this is smokes and mirrors and doesn't seem to affect much of anything.

It is extremely linear, and without much rendering or graphics work, the pace seems like pure exploitation of patreons from the developer. It is basically a story (very minor branching and not much in the way of images), so why isn't it finished yet, or at least have twice or thrice the amount of story?

Pro: Good story if you like playing a slut or a character getting repeatedly raped.

Cons: Don't expect to have much or any agency, as choices doesn't matter. While the story is good, it is not a "game"

If you like the subject matter, you will be better off searching somewhere like literotica to get your kink tickled, as this ain't worth the time.

version reviewed = 1.18p

I'm pleasantly surprised this game has progressed to the main plot after all of these years.

I played a few versions years ago and nothing seemed to be happening. The "game over" part always happened prior to the agent ever starting her journey to Bangkok. At the time it seems like the game kept being re-designed and re-implemented with nothing much to show for it.

I recently saw the game show up in the 1st page of the downloads and thought "huh, updated again? maybe I should try it again?"

So I did and I was pleasantly surprised. No more "end of content" prior to getting to Bangkok. In fact, once in Bangkok there's a surprising amount of content.

The story is well written and engaging - I like the whole undercover espionage aspect.

The game flows well, the interface works well, and I didn't notice any bugs.

I hope the game continues to be updated.

Hooked with the story and the game features. Text is an easy and exciting read, well written and good grammar.
Being an undercover spy is cool and can't wait to see where this goes.
I like the dice rolls for skill checks, and the hover over ability on some words to define or explain them. I like how character names also can be clicked on to show their picture.
I would love to see more images/photos/drawings as well as more impactful choices.

I wish more games just required reading. The writing is good. The progress is fairly slow, but I don't have fears of it just being abandoned. And what progress there is high quality so I don't really mind the wait. Finally the game is linear, so far at least, which I like.

Looking at the screenshots I did not expect much from this one, but decided to try it for the story as it sounded fun. Instead I played the entire thing in two sittings and I have to say, the style with only a model reacting to the text makes this one of my all time favourite games of this type. Strongly recommend if you don't mind reading your smut instead of seeing it fully.

Female Agent is a text based female MC game thats puts you in the shoes of a young intelligence agent working undercover as a topless bartender in Thailand. It is a controversial title that has undergone multiple reboots over years of development. The reviews range from 5 star praise to 1 star condemnation of the developer. My review is less concerned with all the drama surrounding the title and answers a more simple question: is Female Agent 1.17.2 a worthwhile play? In short, yes, absolutely yes.

First what shines the premise. Playing as an undercover topless bartender forced to undergo all sorts of harassment and humiliation to maintain your cover and investigate organized crime in Thailand is hot as hell. The corruption builds at a natural and satisfactory pace as the MC finds herself enjoying being so on display. The recent development of her CIA superiors adding surveillance to the club so they will witness her corruption first hand is so fantastically kinky and could go in so many depraved directions. It might be the best and most unique corruption premise in lewd games.

Hand and hand with the great premise is great writing to support it. Descriptive but not overly explanatory, the writing and dialogue are perfectly paced with little to no typos or mistakes.

The game also has some fun and informative background on both life in Thailand and life as a spy. Go to Thai festivals, execute cleaning runs, sample local cuisine, memorize your cover, Female Agent does an excellent job of cultivating the vibe of a tourist and an undercover operative.

Where some light criticism is deserved is the structure of the game, which is primarily linear. There are several sex scenes that you have to go through, with your only choice being enthusiasm or reluctance. There are also numerous prompts that say NPC character liked or did not like your action, which at this point appear to be entirely window dressing. While I do not think the mere requirement of sex with a character is a per se negative aspect of a game, overall Female Agent could use some more agency so I feel more involved than just along for a text based ride. However, there are some little unique choice based events already in the game (trying showing up day 1 in the pink boy shorts), so this negative could be resolved throughout development.

Beyond the linear structure I don't think there are many significant criticisms of this version of the game, and most of the hate it gets stems from the multiple rebuilds and pace of development. Female Agent first began as a sprawling life story that puts you in the shoes of the MC at birth, with class, nationality, and upbringing all having a significant impact on the branching narrative. If you have supported the game from the beginning I get being upset that the incredibly ambitious life story structure has been scrapped. I'd argue that it was always doomed by its scope from the start, but none of that matters because debates about old versions of the game miss the point of what these reviews are actually for.

Is Female Agent 1.17.2 a worthwhile play? Yes, absolutely yes. If you love corruption and don't mind coercion there are few better.
