Ren'Py - Fetish Locator: S&M Studio [v0.7.11] [ViNovella]

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.

Well story is alright, maybe a bit on the boring side but if you there for the girls its ok.

The sandbox that so many is complaining about with arrows and shit, i dont see the issue i never used arrows really, maybe the menu type thing on the left side is new or someting but it makes it fast and easy to get around maps/areas.

The grind is a bit boring but that seems to be standard for alot of sandbox games, depending on how it goes i hope you can make more money faster so you dont have to constantly keep watch if you can afford the weekly rent shit, its not really fun to grind more then reading story or being with the girls so that needs to be improved a bit.

Girls look great as always, many is from their older games so cant really complain about them.

Animations looks very nice i would say 4/5 on that part.

Music is about average nothing special 3/5 i would say, i dont really care much about the voice stuff when its just "huh/yeah/no" single word stuff to me its more annoying then good.

Mini games, grind and sandbox... The perfect combo to ruin the game. Way to go ViNovella. Everyone loved FL for being simple, but extremely sexy. This one is not entertaining, not sexy enough (yet) and full of unnessesary mouse movement

Cant agree with all the negative points, except for the arrows. Those seem kinda pointless right now. Lots of clicking. Maybe that gets better with more content, otherwise I would scrap them.
The minigames are ok, the nonogram one I found to be kinda fun. But an option to skip them is always a good idea, even if you like them sometimes you dont have the time.
But modders will surely help with that in the future I think.

It's good, not grindy, coding is a little confusing, but I picked it up pretty quickly. The models are fine. I wish there was a little more to it. I don't know what money will be used for, but 50 for the first job may be a little thin depending on what happens.
