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

Version 1.16

Wasn't a fan of the original story for the game. It was "Fine" but a bit vacuous. In it you were recruited to be a whore in brothel. You started having sex on camera immediately.

With the new engine the writer made small, but important rewrites. Now your original cover is a bartender (topless). It makes the gradual corruption and the way you sink further into the underworld more impactful.


Its perfect. Its the sort of change that takes the game from a 3 star experience to 5 and is a perfect example of how important context is for story focused games.


Edit:
Have taken a star off, simply because subsequent playthroughs kind of proved 2 things:

1. Most of your choices are an illusion (at least at this stage).
2. The game is not friendly for playing through again where you've already seen most of the scenes. *Click**Click*Click* etc. This could be alleviated a lot of the maker could bind a key for "Next" as 90%+ of screens, that's the only option you have. It'd make is a lot easier for subsequent playthroughs.

The author is not concentrating on the story but I hope he keeps going with it instead of concentrating on vast mechanics that he will probably not get to implement because it's too much work. It's really story driven and the story is pretty good now, really keeps the reader interested. You do need to be into the tags, I imagine not everyone will enjoy this.
The art always felt a little off with this one, even with the changes, but it's so minor and not worth time to divert efforts to it unless it's being done by someone that has nothing to do with the working on story.

Honestly one of the best games on this site.
Ignore the haters who act like they have all made AAA quality games with no budget in record time when they've all likely never done anything creative in their whole lives.
This developer did in fact restart the game which stalled forward progress with the story, but they did that with consultation with their patrons and have consistently communicated their roadmap and production plans.
If this upsets you, by all means, don't support them and play one of the millions of other games on this site.
If you can understand a creator needing to restart because they want to create a product that they are proud of then I strongly urge you support this dev-- if you can afford it of course.

This version of FA takes you through a somewhat linear story so far that is filled with little details and flavor that make sex scenes incredibly hot. There are plans to eventually have your choices lead to bigger variety in the story and and eventual open world but I'm not reviewing that because that hasn't been done yet.
What I am reviewing is the existing story in version 1.16.1, which is superbly written and one of the hottest on this site, especially if you're into submissive/exhibition/masochism kinks in a fantasy written from the female POV.

An Outstanding Game!
The game mechanics are refreshing, the story is simple yet terribly exciting, the graphics are gorgerous, the paperdoll system is on point... And I spent an entire game wanking on it.
You, creator, deserve a round of admirative aplause!

Love this game. The story is great and I love the setting. The updates take a while but when they come they are very dense with content. I'm always looking for new updates to arrive, probably one of my favorite games on f95.

Honestly, this is one of the best games I've discovered here by a long shot, both for the sexual content and otherwise.

Sexual content:
Visuals:
The art for the MC is great, and so are the portraits of the NPCs. It's a realistic artstyle that really lends to the setting, as well as the eroticism. Sure, all you see is the MC as far as the sex scenes go, but the way that she is shown to blush, sweat, and even have an afterglow meshes is a great effort. The fact that you can view her from behind to really appreciate the myriad customizable dresses and makeup options is also a big plus.

Actual sex:

So far it seems pretty vanilla. The MC can get with several guys for 1 on 1 action. The MC, however, always cums (sometimes multiple times), which is a big turn-on for me.

The MC also gets groped A LOT (Though I think you can minimize it through gameplay choices) and it looks like there will be some SERIOUSLY juicy content as the updates continue to roll along.

The corruption content is fantastic and, as mentioned, looks like it will lead into some seriously intense sex scenes.

Non-sexual content:

Holy fuck, what can I say. I've yet to see a game on this site where the creator so clearly loves to do their research, both on secret services/spec ops and the setting. It's incredibly in-depth, but also presented in a very digestible way.

The fact that the MC exudes so much professionalism (At least for now) while slowly going down the route of corruption is so fucking hot - and this is all due to great writing for her line on work and thinking by the creator.

Overall, so far so great! I know some people have rated this poorly because of how long it's been worked on/restarted, but just having jumped in and witnessed the content presented thus far I am seriously impressed.

Don't know if the writer/dev will read this but bro you're doing something very right for subconscious exibit/humiliation fans xD
If you're into a female MC having to recognize her lewd side and descending into debauchery the is a game for you.

This game has the most potential out of any game I've played here; however the weird structure of the game and lack of new content brings it to a 4 star for now. I seriously want to give it 5 stars but I can't.

PROS:
- Great writing and hot scenes
- I love the text based nature of the game / avatar system and how they interact. I find it better and less distracting than full pictures or real porn.
- Amazing theme where you play as an undercover agent in Thailand.
- Good world building. Everything feels like it's realistic enough to actually happen in real life. This is one of my biggest pet peeves with other games, where they throw logic out the window. Everything makes sense here.

CONS:
- The game is broken up into a backstory where you're in school but it doesn't connect with the rest of the game... it's very odd.
- The above problem is compounded by the main game having little content currently.
- Decisions are rarely significantly impactful.

Overall this is a fantastic base for it to be one of the best games, if not, the best game on this site.

This is based on the latest version at the time (v.14.1)
What is there, is not bad at all. It is a linear visual novel with illusion of choice (as of now it only affects some minor flavor text), but a very engaging one. However, the pace of development can only be described as "glacial".

This project took almost 4 years to get past the intro, and into the first section of the "main" game

All in all, do play it and enjoy it, but don't expect it to receive updates quickly.

It has incredible potential, with great writing and clean UI. However, it has unfortunately been *plagued by slow development due to indecision and late revampes of the engine, story and art. As good as it looks, feels and reads right now, its just not good enough to justify four years of *development.

Update to 4 stars: Honestly, I really like the story so far in Bangkok. I can easily tell that the writer is someone that likes researching locations and exploring the emotions of his characters.

If this game was released just at the 4th quarter last year, I would have given it a clear 5 star review.

If there was some critique, its that a few situations I would have liked if it was possible for the character to go through darker scenes in her upbringing. Because it feels lacking in that regard. Example; The scare in the motel in Africa of an intruder not being just a scare, and it escalated instead due to her indecision.

Or the flirting with the old guys in that bar in Switzerland escalating, or maybe have a choice to actually get it on with them instead.

There needs to be real consequences to these type of indecisions when the dire situation calls for it, you know? Its a minor thing in general, and its just in my fantasy files, but I would like my character to go through such a trauma and have it strengthen her resolve later in the story when she becomes an agent.

Two things in life I've been waiting for: the end of the COVID pandemic and Crushstation finally taking the Female Agent to Bangkok. Glad to see one of those things has come about. My life is still not getting any more interesting, but at least the recent update of this outrageously half-baked game shows some promise.

I actually think scrapping it all and returning to the original structure is the best direction given the previous cumbersome backstory system that chips the focus away from the game's main theme—its sexual Orientalism—where the player gets to customize their (white) female intelligence officer on an undercover mission to infiltrate the Hard Cock Cafe in Bangkok. (Fun fact: there is a joke poster in real life depicting a Hard Cock Cafe in Patpong, Bangkok's red light district.) To prepare for the mission the agent has to pose as a tourist, a farang woman, and get hired as a sex worker. This story idea of course plays on Thailand's disrepute for sex tourism and the trope of sexpionage.

It's a fascinating mixture having the agent participate in what's clearly a dehumanizing experience where colonial and imperial history in developing countries has made the seedy scenery like Thailand what it is today—an industry that caters largely to foreign men coming from the developed world. And so within this context that the agent takes her trip. What this game has done better than most is its fixation on locations. This update goes out of its way to emphasize every place the agent sets her foot on, even what food she eats. This strange obsession, which is read like a piece of travel writing, of course is the result of seeing the Orient as an exotic other. The agent's first-person perspective gradually "discovers" cultural peculiarities that stand to divide the world she visits and the world she belongs. The racialized foreign, uncanny and unsafe setting is used to generate an atmosphere of thrill, emanating possibilities for sexual adventures.

Much more can still be said about a game that lets you play as the CIA going after a Middle Eastern terrorist. Will it end at a torture site in Thailand? My bet's on Guantanamo Bay. But the point is, even in a fun sexy game, ideology is still inescapable.

I really hope from this moment onward Crushstation doesn't overhaul the game again. This is perhaps Female Agent's last chance to progress and become something. One more undoing and this project may lose the modicum of support it has left. But if it can be completed this time perhaps little will be remembered of its haphazard development, but instead, a raunchy spy tale that can stand with the likes of Misadventures of Agent Romanov in the hall of adult gaming.

Female Agent doesn't have too much right now, but what it has is gold. The writing is fantastic, the character creation/background works well, and the choices you make lead to fun results, if a little limited. Story is split into two releases as of right now, so it's worth trying out both releases to get at least a few hours of content, though from what I hear new content is released fairly slowly.

1.WhoGivesAFuck: Patreons Are Dumber Than Bricks Edition

So, Crush hasn't really released an update all fucking year. Just a sort-of-one that's more "the previous call is confirmed" dogshit.

But in May he pretty much outright admitted he's been shitting out overlong linear shit which is actually pretty dogshit for a "sandbox" game, and then he... went back to babbling about art and whatnot, because the fucking cunt clearly still has no fucking clue how to deliver sandboxy game he's been, promising for what is it, 7 years now?

I'm amazed at the sheer number of people who can't seem to muster enough brain cells to figure out the heat death of the universe will come to pass before this guy figures out how to actually deliver what he's been promising. Bricks are presumably amazed too, at both that and the realization they're somehow smarter than that despite being inanimate objects.

Fuck, I actually updated this again. The previous call is confirmed, unless it wasn't harsh enough.

1.20: I Can't Even Edition

Literally couldn't push myself to update the review for six editions. That should tell you everything you need to know, but in case you're on the slow side:

This version of the game is a kinetic novel that's short both on visuals and on writing. Seriously, the fans that think the last few episodes were good writing probably also think 50 Shades deserves a Nobel. Anyone with an actually grasp on what good writing is, however, will dislike-to-hate how choices don't matter and the pacing ain't good.

In a vacuum, now about 2 stars as a sub-par kinetic novel with a glacial development pace.

Outside a vacuum, CrushStation still claims this is an RPG, and the overall development pace is actually tectonic , so after official review, the previous call is confirmed.

I probably won't be updating this ever again, because it's blatantly obvious this project will never truly be going anywhere.

Previously: 1.13: Bangkok At Long Last Edition

In a vacuum, the most recent update looks promising. Outside a vacuum, getting to Bangkok at long last involved removing all the stupid lifepath shit CrushStation wasted the previous four fucking years on. M'kay.

Also outside a vacuum, the update is really more like the Bangkok Part of the Prologue Edition, and still doesn't offer any actual evidence CrushStation finally found a clue how to go about implementing that sandboxy undercover spycraft/whorecraft game this still isn't. M'kay.

In a vacuum, probably 3/5 for being too linear and rough around the edges. Outside a vacuum, after official review, the previous call is confirmed.

Previously: The 1.12: The Prologue Simulator, Back To The Drawing Board 3.XXX Get On With The Game Edition

So, CrushStation finally figured out he's spending too much fucking time on the pre-prologue and should get on with the game. So we're finally back to seeing some prologue, a year or so into the latest incarnation of The Prologue Simulator, Back To The Drawing Board 3.XXX, its first Get On With The Game Edition.

Except I'm still not convinced CrushStation finally bothered to actually go back to the drawing board. The stupid on-screen dice-rolling does little but detract from the story of The Prologue Simulator, Back To The Drawing Board 3.XXX, the RNG feels more random than back in the The Prologue Simulator, Back To The Drawing Board 2.X cycle, and, well, the Get On With The Game Edition still doesn't actually get on with the game.

I honestly believe CrushStation is a fucking moron who never actually touched the fucking drawing board and still doesn't have a fucking clue how the actual fucking game is supposed to work.

And while the writing is good, and the art is good, and has potential to be 5 stars in the right context, in the context of a game about undercover spycraft whoring in Bangkok that, 3.5 years in but apparently never actually using the drawing board when going back to it, as The Prologue Simulator, Back To The Drawing Board 3.XXX Get On With The Game Edition still isn't anywhere near getting to the fucking actual game about fucking actually undercover spycraft whoring in Bangkok, it's only worth one star because I can 't assign a well-deserved zero.

It is somewhat difficult to actually review this game, as any review is really only good for the time at which it was posted. That might seem obvious for an in-development project, but with this game in particular it's entirely possible that in a few months whatever is said about it will no longer apply because it will have gone into yet another rework that continues to take the story and actual game nowhere.

The current iteration is, somehow, functionally identical to what was originally released 3 and a half years ago; albeit with different artwork, a more polished interface, and allegedly different/improved RPG systems.

Regarding the game itself, it has a massive amount of potential. If the game's story ever actually starts then I feel like it'll be pretty good, and the actual gameplay should turn out to be solid as well (if you don't mind dice rolling systems akin to D&D systems.)

I supported the project on Patreon for a couple years, but I stopped when it became painfully apparent that the dev is awful at making realistic plans. Hopefully now, after all this time, the game can begin and have its potential realized.

I played the very first release of this game and immediately went to the patreon and became a supporter. I probably backed the game for six or seven months, on the conservative side. I stopped supporting the game because the game did not progress any further. The creator spent that entire time tinkering and 'perfecting' his prologue.

Flash forward to three and a half years after that first release and the game still ends at the same point in the prologue. The actual 'game' has not even begun development. The creator has spent this entire time tinkering, rewriting, adding options, removing options, and working under the hood on an html game.

In the event this game ever would be added onto, I think it could be quite terrific. Until then, it's not a game. It's a prologue and nothing more. If you want to play a very polished prologue that goes nowhere and leaves you blue balled, give it a shot. Just don't waste your money and don't expect anything to get added on. I check in every six months and find the game in the same spot as before each time.

I like the concept. But, the game has a lot of problems. Although the initial development of the main character is quite thorough, the developer keeps changing and rewriting the intro and changing the sex algorithms. I supported the title for nearly six months and it never got past the intro. I was OK with some changes, but it got tiring after a while and felt like the Dev just couldn't decide what he was going to do with the title.

The current changelog says they are finally moving the main story along, but I don't buy it. I've played through the intro enough times to know where the MC is supposed to go (Country where she is supposed to be stationed) so that the main story can continue and it doesn't look like the new content gets you there.

Edit v 1.13.1: It looks like there is finally some content for the final destination of the story. It does not bode well however that it took this many years to go past the intro into the main story. And I doubt they are done reworking the intro. For a mostly text-based porn game, that's not a good sign.

Game version: [v1.12.1]

A game with a neat concept and good writing, but it's been stuck in development hell for years now. Whether you think the dev is an outright scammer or just a misguided perfectionist beset by tragic roadblocks at every turn, the result remains the same: the game is going nowhere. Reworks of systems and rewrites of already existing content fill the patch notes instead of actual fresh content.

Instead of actually writing content the dev seems hellbent on perfecting character creation and his "sex simulation" system. I appreciate the customization options, but if there is no actual content for it to make any difference in, there really isn't much of a point to it. I also fundamentally disagree with the whole notion of a procedural sex system in place of a written sex scene. It's just not fun or hot.

Interesting concept that has promised a lot but delivers little. The story is stuck in the prologue and has actually gone backwards and lost content with updates. Currently is more of a linear life sim vn than the promised sexy spy thriller.

Review for 1.11.1

The game features a Lone Wolf adventure book style(dice rolling) in which chosen stats adds up to dice rolls in choosing decisions which looks cool but the problem of the game stems down to what it is trying to achieve. I failed to see paths/routes to take for a an engaging character development story. The previous version of 1.6.3 featured a hypnosis route which i thought was wow, finally a character changing decision. Can i now develop my character as an intelligent slut or a mindless bimbo agent? Nope, nothing of that was further explored down the road. And the highly customisable 'avatar' is really pointless, as almost none of it really impacts the story save for boob size(wet t shirt competition) and height(dice rolling) but even these two only affected events only once and was never mentioned again. I dont really care much about art/renders for these types of games, as the heart of a text game relies mostly in its execution, creative writing and engaging story lines that will exercise your brain's function to imagine, which brings another problem. The erotic scenes are, well if not bland, is just embarrassing. Even writers at literotica delivers more juicy details than this game. Now i'm not saying the dev/author should be at the level of the likes of fenoxo, because there are also lots to love in this game. The adventure and thrill of a protagonist in an unknown territory is a always a plus in my books. The dev can clearly think up of engaging story lines, and each decision should be explored more as it progresses. Drop the heavy customisation of avatars, except maybe for hair style, boob size and clothing and focus more on developing plotlines instead and we will have ourselves a unique game which comes once on awhile.

have high hopes that the dev will see some of these flaws and please, shorten the college life story of version 1.11.1 as it seems like it is taking most of the development(it's female "agent", not female "student")and pump more agent plots instead, because i think you can't be sent immediately on a top secret bankok job without having proven herself first.

This game has just enough to make guys click a donation button, and not one thing more. It has a nice banner, and the Patreon page looks good with frequent updates that mainly consist of a photo that has nothing to do with the game content. These are the hooks.

The character generator is better than some, but still not ideal because it does not have enough meaningful variation. The older version let you add some interesting details (age variation, body variation) that seem to have disappeared recently. Mind you that I am looking at the free version when I write this, but it is far inferior to the older version in available details, but better in art quality. You have to be a patron to unlock many desirable options, but these options do not yield as much fun as you might expect, because:

The gameplay is a short prologue with an ending that ends the game, and it has not expanded in a very long time. It is not clear why any sim loop has not been added to this game to develop the character, which would have increased the quality noticeably. Still, this would not solve all the game's problems, because the gameplay itself is highly repetitive and completely dependent on flavor text that looks good in the first read but loses its luster upon repeat playthroughs.

There are much more developed games out there, even if most can't match the art and style of the avatar and the game's webpage.
