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

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.

1.20: 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.

It stars a Western intelligence officer, sent undercover into Bangkok's red light district. She'll have to navigate her way through a sex-fuelled urban underbelly to take down a dangerous international terrorist.

Will she succeed or become trapped in Bangkok's criminal underworld?

Click to expand...

I have played just about a dozen of games posted on this forum/website. Most of them were basically more or less visual novels rather than actual playable games, and a lot of them were also incomplete, or basically in development, but ALL of them, with no exceptions, included the game or the story that they had advertised, except this one.

This one is nothing but a basic character creator with needless, pointless customization options. You basically create a character using it and then try to imagine how it would be to play the actual game given in its description, with this character. The quality of your experience naturally varies depending on how powerful your imagination is.

This game has potential.
However, three years in the making we have right now a barely functional tutorial and nothing else. The developer decided to rework everything from scratches ('everything' was the prologue of the story).
Honestly i don't think this game will ever be finished; the developer talked about dropping it numerous times in the last years so keep it in mind if you ever decide to donate to his patreon.

It's a real shame, but i think he dreamt too big for his own possibilities.

Never thought I'd give 1 star to any game but this one definitely deserves it for the development hell it's in. 1.6 was fun, but the overhaul to 1.8 literally progresses backwards. Most of the content has been stripped, the overall aesthetic has been downgraded, and even customization has become more limited. In what world does this make sense? The previous system should not have been that difficult to develop for (it's just Twine + SugarCube). Hopefully someone adopts and branches off of 1.6 (you can download the HTML and import into Twine).

Never going to get to Bangkok, which I'd kind of resigned myself to. But now the avatars have been made far uglier for no apparent reason, the game has been cut to just childhood (which really isn't what anyone is here for) and most of the customisation options have gone. All round terrible.

It was a promising project... years ago...

after reworking it several times and now deleting all content to rework it from the scratch (it's still only the prolog, the main story and its open world concept never started) I can't rate it otherwise.

Don't waste your time (or money) because he will never reach Bangkok and start with developing the actual game...

I played through the first hour or so of content for Female Agent and was pretty much prepared to give it a positive review and add it to my watchlist for future developments....
That was until I hit a brick wall content-wise in the airport and could not advance to the actually beginning of the story. It was until I found out that when it comes to developments for this game they are basically non existent and have been that way throughout its 3 years in production.

What you have here is a superb and highly fleshed out introduction to a story with top notch character creation mechanics. The problem lies with the fact that unfortunately that's really all there is to it. This game had the potential to be brilliant but I get the feeling it will never reach that stage and for that reason alone it has to get a negative review.

Do not play this unless you want to be blue-balled by the lack of meaningful game content or unless you're just really, really, into character creation.

I used to defend this guy but the more I see his posts and the development pace, the more it seems like a money milking scheme. It's been 4 months since he's announced the MFAGA plan and we have about 30 minutes of gameplay to show for it. Mind you, he's making around 6.5k USD per month, that means about 26000 dollars went into the development.

For the past month he's been working on adding facial features. He's got an illustrator (Victoria). Why the hell can't the story progress while Victoria works on the illustrations? Aren't the story and illustrations worked on by different people? Makes no sense to me.

Probably one of the best adult games I've played so far.

Female Agent has some of the most complex and diverse storylines I've seen in any adult game, closest is probably GGGB. It does something none of the other games do, give your character a personality. I absolutely dig the character creation and early life.

Many people are bitching because the developer took some time out to make some fundamental changes to how the base game is implemented which was slowing them down. With the new changes, v1.8 was implemented in just 3 weeks. Given this new pace, I'm sure we will start seeing content at a much quicker pace.

I also love the new character models, they look much more realistic than the doll figures from the previous version. The new layout looks awesome too.

I have nothing negative to say about this game other than maybe the slow development pace, but with the new changes that is expected to change. I wish more games like this existed.

This game today is further away from completion than it was when it went public three God damn years ago.
Even the content that was well written and worthwhile to play through has been stripped away.
Avoid this game.

Very promising start.....when it was first released.

After literal years of no new content, this is probably never going to be enjoyable.

The game is about an agent whose going to work undercover, but after all the training, all the backstory, all we get is "it'll happen in further releases".

The actual game is missing. All we have is an empty system.

The most overrated character creator being in "active" development.

The story progression is literally negative development-wise. Instead of expanding the story on the very good the base the developer created with literally the 1st version, they introduce new features and rework the introduction and the underlying game mechanics. As it stands now the game seems to be a prequel in the form of an overblown character creator.
I mean cool, random rolls add replayability and I sure like the idea that hidden stats (the agents backgrounds) influence mission success and so on, but replayabilty requires content in the 1st place.

For sure a dozen hidden stats and early branching (diversity) will translate into a faster development...

Excellent writing, hits all my exhibitionist fetishes. Definitely worth a playthrough, the game has a linear, but branching storyline, giving a good hour or so of content and replayability. Pace of development is slow.
