Ren'Py - Fetish Locator: S&M Studio [v0.10.15] [ViNovella]

Render quality is quite good. Sound design is very, very good, with brief character voice lines for each dialogue which vary depending on what they say and intonation. As of 4th of August 2025 it has a decent amount of content, and it is updated fairly often with meaningful additions. Characters are varied and likable. Plenty of choice of what to engage or not engage with. As far as sandbox games go, it's entertaining and fun, though if you don't like sandboxing and grinding there is a "story" mode built in so you can skip straight to the good parts. Interesting variety of fetishes, interesting story though it lacks a sort of end goal to look forward to.

UPDATE: non sandbox mode was broken by UCD despite the traceback not suggesting so.

I still do not like this retcons FL1. Still appears trans is not avoidable? So far I ahve avoided Lyssa as much as I can but it wants to force me onto a date with "her" which i don't want to do. Debbie is she trans as well? Since well she was in FL1 in the Nora Ending.

I can't go above 1 star still this one is not great

Really hated the sandbox mode in this game but now with the "no sandbox"-mode its a very good game. The "no sandbox"-mode is currently in beta but I hope the developer really expands on it since I personally dislike sandbox games. The kinks in this game are fun and I enjoy the characters.

In my humble opinion, this game deserves more stars. The game in the no sandbox way, is very good, with wonderful variations. The problem, perhaps and for me, is the lack of tension that seduction creates with a more intense eroticism. Congratulations and thank you for this great gift.

Excellent game as the previous trilogy was and now that the game has a VN mode and the sandbox isn't forced it's even better. The models are top notch and I can't wait for a Stacy/Lyssa/Mc threesome or a Stacy/Melony/Mc one.

The story is also coherent and captivating. I rate it 4/5 stars because its not finished yet but on the right path.

With the sandbox being optional now I think this game is great. Hot characters and easy to get the scenes. I hope more scene with the trans characters get added as well. Glad it's not just returning characters from the old game and instead there are lots of new ones.

The animations are very good and the main LI Stacy is one of the hottest girls in AVN's. Really excited to see how this further develops and i hope they add more variety to the scenes they shoot at the studio such as BDSM, Threesome with two boys 1 girl, Double penetration ,etc

Fantastic game!

I really enjoyed Fetish Locator, and was initially excited about this, but I was put off by the sandbox tag.

I don't know if the dev streamlined it or what, but this sandbox is not annoying at all. You always have something to do, and it is easy to tell when you need to skip time to get to another event.

Lots of hot girls to go after, and there is a satisfying amount of content in the game so far. You don't have to go after any girls you don't like.

5/5 for me- I'll throw a few dollars the dev's way, and from here on out, I'll be waiting for every update

The game work game, not to much grinding stuff and all the scenes are great. Futhermore the quest log is great and you allways know what to do. Hope that the is going to be more trans people you can fuck and be fucked.

So far as of 0.6.1.7 this is a sad follow-up unworthy of Fetish Locator it's predecessor. The sad part is the Art-style and graphics look great, but the story and the gameplay is weak.

This would be an OK title for a new dev but Vinovella, has more talent than this or at least it used to. Fast forward through it to view the scenes but the story is not great.

The Sandbox style game play is very unnecessary and tedious , it just feels clunky. I'm giving it 3 stars because the graphics adds a star from the poor stories 2 star rating it would have otherwise received.

I've played only parts of the original trilogy, some of it's good but it's not all to my tastes...I tried this game because of the (presumed) focus on Stacy and was left very disappointed. Played a few in-game weeks...In this game Stacy and the MC literally live together and sleep in the same bed, dream conclusion from the trilogy for folks like me, and they have hardly any scenes together at all. I kept waiting for more and it just didn't happen. The rest of the game hardly makes up for what I think is just a huge wasted opportunity.

In all essence a good game.
Good graphics, decent story.

Is there sandbox? Yes.... But its very navigateable, and very clear what to do. You dont have to go to every area to find random things. Its VERY straightforward.

You just get ppl who downvote because it has sandbox elements.

This could be a really good game if it wasn't a sandbox game.
The models are really good, but the senseless clicking around and grinding stats destroys all immersion.
Only giving 2 stars because there are way worse games and because of the girls.
The gameplay itself and the story would get the lowest possible rating though

Really great. Good scenes with top quality animation and audio. Yeah it's sandbox but with some free roaming accessible scenes it will be a pro. Needs ome improvements with the navigation system, but overall it's a quite enjoyable experience. Hope to see much more content.

Point and click aspect disappointing - otherwise enjoyable. Great renders, same beloved characters from the previous iteration. Disappointing to see overly negative reviews despite the fact that much of what made the previous game good is still here.

After the original fetish locator game this is kind of a letdown - good animations and renders but really grindy. As others have said, the excessive use of directional arrows and highlighted zones together just makes for a cluttered and tedious navigation system. And then there's the grindy work puzzles that although not terribly difficult don't seem to do much but clutter up the game. And then the delivery job is also tedious. And then the magazine discovery process which looks accidental and random and for which you gain one point each time in a large array of characteristics you're supposed to improve on. Not nearly as polished as fetish locator. Needs a step back and re-evaluation about excess widgeting for widgets sake. Not worthless mind you but I'm having doubts about continuing this one.

The game isn't quite as bad as most people are saying. I have played way worse games in my time. However it is the typical dead sandbox game, where the enviroments are large with nothing to fill them with. Take the house for example, it has 7 zones in it. You only really use 2, the bed and the room your quest is in.

That is the design philosphy that's all over this game. Go to area. Click around till you find the right area. Then talk to someone or a thing happens. If the game just cut this BS out it would be a good game.
I don't care if I can see how many rooms a building has, take me to the place the content it.

The dev clearly wants to develop in a new way and it could be good but they need to keep it simple.

Scrap sandbox bull$hit and it ll be 2x times better game.
Renders are good, animations too. Music/SFX very pleasant. Sex scenes are hot. More scanes with Stacey would be nice.
I just dont know why dev putted dumb sandbox in this game. Fetish locator was perfect without sandbox.

I am only a few hours in, however...

Jiiimmminy Crickets. The first part of this game is bad. Like bad bad.

The relationships you know are fucked, and not in a fun way. The new ones they are trying to introduce are REAL not fun so far. The story progression is slow and boring. I am being forced to step away from this game to breathe some air because this game so far is so fucking dull.

I intend to finish the game at some point, but phuck. If you're going to get started really, seriously, be prepared for a slog to start. They really need to rewrite this garbage sometime soon. Because its awful. All signs point to the update being good, so something has been figured out. Figure out how to unfuck the first part.

Alright, I really disliked the minigames, but without the minigames it's not bad... and the storytelling/characters from FL are excellent. If they dump the minigames and such then I could see this being really good in the future. I hope they stick with it and change all the mechanics people hate.
