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

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.

Let's address the elephant in the room - this isn't version 1.17, it's MAYBE 0.17 alpha and you can pay for the privilege of testing it. In its current form, it's a Twine CYOA that's pretty much linear; wish Crush could show up regularly and finish one story, even if that's fairly linear like this.

What's good - the writing and story made me fall in love with version 1.6.3
What needs improvement - Amount of content because this game has been "reset" several times already. We get railroaded HARD in this one.
Gameplay is decent, but let's be honest, it's a distraction. Playing dress up and rolling dice do not matter much in game with a back button.

Just a guess that each reset is because dev realises each branching choice means MOAR WORK writing? My evidence - dev's Patreon has more word count after 5+years than version 1.17 of his only TEXT game. The real magic is the smoke and mirrors illusion this will be a game someday, because just read this thread; slow, irregular updates are now a feature of this game.

In closing, there are 2 demographics that would love this game, I'm sure:
1) Those who love foreplay more than sex, because FA teases much potential BUT it has been 5+ years. Science says average male only lasts 5+ mins in bed.
2) Masochists - Because you can keep hoping for a finish, but nah. Come back to this thread to punish yourself like I do. Might take up self-flagellation in between updates.

Oh Female Agent... Oh the Humanity.

Female Agent is a game about an intelligence operative going undercover in a Bangkok titty bar. HTML-based and playable online in your browser, the production values are sky-high and I'm pretty sure that the entire system is based on a bespoke mechanical engine that has been stripped-down and rebuilt from scratch at least three times so far.

Had Female Agent 1.0 dropped without any precursor then it would be universally praised: The writing is slick, the tone is really consistent, the dev has a real dedication to accuracy and everything feels just really well-polished. The problem is that Female Agent 1.0 did not appear fully formed. It is actually a much simplified and truncated version of a far more ambitious and likeable game.

Originally, Female Agent was a game of absolutely dazzling scope. You didn't just create a character that looked a specific way, you created a character from a specific place and a specific social class who looked a specific way and you started playing them as a teenager and so you chose their friends, their favourite subject at school, they hobbies and their early sexual dalliances. Before the game's plot had even started, you'd already built a very specific character with literally dozens of separate skills.

You then got recruited by your specific country's intelligence services and went into training. Again, you were free to choose your individual areas of expertise and skill before being unleashed on the plot.

For ages, Female Agent was all back story. For literally years, the game stagnated at the point where the actual plot was due to start as rather than adding to the plot, the dev kept re-writing the system from scratch and every re-write stripped away another element of the original game. Sometimes it was an early side-mission, other times it was a nationality or a background. Again and again, everything was simplified and nothing ever advanced.

The current build is basically a crude mockery of the original game. It looks better but all of that back-story stuff and the sense of building your character by making choices? gone. All the different social classes and interests? gone. The nationalities are still there but they have virtually no impact on play beyond the odd reference and the fact that you start the game by going to a different building in a different country.

What's left is a well-polished game where you have no agency and no choices. You get to click stuff from time to time but the plot never forks, and the only thing that changes is a bit of dialogue. For all the agency you have, this might as well be a visual novel... which brings me to the root of my problem with this game:

What is the point of re-writing a game from scratch if every re-write results in lost features, lost plots, and lost mechanics? Female Agent has been re-built from scratch three times and while we started out with a really cool RPG we now have a very basic (although admittedly well-written) visual novel that could easily have been handled with a renpy/twine engine and even then, most twine-based games have more complexity and depth than Female Agent.

I'm giving this game two stars as the production values are still pretty good. This being said, I genuinely grieve for the game we once had. I would also point out that the updates on this game are insanely slow... at the moment, the game is a couple of months late on a very modest publishing schedule because the dev had to work on three tiny side-missions and got completely overwhelmed. At this point, there is no chance that this narrative will ever amount to anything of any substance.

Given that he is currently earning close to £60k in patreon subs a year, the dev really needs to hire some additional writers. Dude: Spread the love and approach some of the people on this site who are better with words than code and you'd break the log-jam and be able to focus on the stuff that actually interests you as watching you write an erotic game is like waiting two months to maybe read about two old people fucking only for the publisher to announce that he needs to completely rebuild a new printing press from scratch.

Excelent story, writing, premise, details. Very believable and with many elements from a spy's life. Not written in the flash y hollywood style, but quite precise and true to real world spies. What can be improved: Sex writing is a bit short. A little bit longer scenes (not too much!) and juicier descriptions can make text game better. Next is visuals. Clicking Next slide can get quite boring. Adding a casual small picture of some of the characters in green links (at least when you first meet them or when they change clothes) will make it much more enjoyable. The stats page is still WiP I guess, so you have no way of checking character's body and mental state. A small graphic showing when her pussy is wet or nipples are hard can be fun! I know Thailand is a hot place, but adding more clothing and accessories can make the game a bit more life like (stockings, garter belts, jewelry, accessories, etc). Combined with stats screen it can give you an idea how you look like with different clothes (if there is any difference except visual).
Since you eat spy pills for hightened perception and reaction, you can add more scenes where this matters. Example - if you have perception boost - you can see stuff in locations or on people's clothing which you usually can't.

It was very fun playing it so far. I hope the dev continues to develop it and make it even better!

Playing this game is like getting into an oven with a future decent meal and trying to eat it before it's done. And said meal suffers from an inordinate amount of attention going to the garnish instead . There's a lot that with time and effort and attention will be great, but absent those things really makes you feel the lack of their presence. I really wish devs that were talented at writing were more frequently talented at making themselves write.

I'm glad this dev is passionate about something odd, like trying to make the spy part of the game seem authentic - but that comes at the cost of the actual game currently. I'm immersed, but its in boredom. And it's not this content's fault - once it is fleshed out it is a unique and interesting addition. I keep hoping I'll come back to this game in a year or two and it will be way more than the current state. That's the most accurate thing I can say, "you will wish you played what you're supposed to play."

Hook: Go undercover in a nudie-bar/brothel. It's a erotic novel elevated with clean visuals, titillating scenarios, and solid pros. Really makes you feel like James Jane Bond.

Best:
+ Titillating and kinky scenarios. Coomers rejoice.
+ Good editing: spelling, grammar, pacing, and dialogue pros.
+ Realistic spy-like tone. Serious but not boring. Dark but not too edgy. Fun (and optional) hyperlinks for learning jargon.

Meh:
/ Simple paper doll graphics. Lots of superfluous clothing and makeup options.
/ Possible to miss scenes on first play though.
/ Sometimes reads like a travel brochure when setting the scenes.

Worst:
- What appears to be a branching narrative, C.Y.O.A. story, actually only has one critical path. Your choices amount to "do you want to be an unwilling victim or a willing victim?"

Score: 8.0 /10
Ver: 1.16
