    I won't drone about it, so to put it short: It's averagely serviceable.

    I was pretty addicted starting off, but then a ton of characters start getting introduced and the content starts ballooning up. So unless you behave like a harem fuckboy and tap every ass that crosses you, the game really becomes an event finder simulator. Not bad if done right, but the one kinda jumps erratically from one development to the next that has no connection. And all of that compounds fast and so much that you start loosing track.

    Fetishes are plenty which is a huge plus in my books, but the lack of any meaningful flow of the main story-line ends up making the lewd content appearance a jarring interruption a lot of times. Of-course you can try and focus down one girl only but you end up missing a lot of content that way.

    All in all, it's fine, but my interest in the game kinda went into a free fall the moment the cages got introduced. After that it all felt like dev was in a hurried pursuit to tie the story up as fast as possible.

    Not bad for a one time ready but I do not feel any re-playability value in this one, which is a bit sad considering how strongly I got hooked into it in the beginning.

    This game starts off STRONG. Interesting premise. Potentially good characters, plenty of options and nice sex scenes.

    The issue with FL is that it tried to be TOO niche. I feel like this game has plenty of "out-there" fetishes, with it tying girls to that fetish. And if you feel like youre not into that fetish, you kinda dont have much going for you in this game. Since, unlike in other porn games, where you just spend your [unit of time] more and more with your character or have exclusive routes, this game just kinda skips over all the paths you didnt want to take.

    And that is amplified with how little the relationships/fetishes deepen. Like, you got your fetish, your great stuff right there and you get like this nice, fancy development.... just to put it on hold for an hour where you get another scene that isnt even close to that development aaaand its gone. That feels very wrong, especially since I feel like Im pretty fetish-heavy and this game still had barely any that appealed to me.

    Plus, dry spells are way too long. Sometimes people just yap. Like, a LOT of unnecessary yapping.

    Additionally, all that would have been ok, but the plot took some... eugh routes in the end, and I felt very weird about it. I felt the tone shift towards the end, tbh.

    On one hand Fetish Locator looks like a pretty generic college game, on the other hand we have pretty high production value, somewhat intriguing plot regarding fetish locator app and pretty decent amount of content.

    Just like you could imagine from the title, this game (at least in the beginning) is actually more focused on specific fetishes, then on actual sex scenes. This is fine and all, but if you're not into some fetishes, you could easily miss like half of the game's content. And some love interests are tied to specific fetishes. The plot is sufficient, it's there somewhere. Honestly it's not playing any big role in the game. It's vaguely interesting, since we have this sexy app popping up around and we may be blackmailed by it, so there is some potential but imo it's constantly in the background, and because of that it doesn't really have time to shine. Then we have some reveal and the game just ends shortly after. There are a lot of endings, but for me many of those endings feel pretty out of character for the MC. Like, i don't think he would just run away with some girl, and leave everything behind, it doesn't really make a lot of sense for me. Only one ending looks like a canon one, the rest of them feels like a fan fiction or something. Some endings are not finished yet, so the game is still not fully completed. There is a lot of potential love interests with different looks and personalities, most of them are fine, but i didn't really find any girl being truly great. Some of them fell rather generic, some are pretty interesting and some are just not my cup of tee.

    Both renders and animations are pretty solid. Renders are pretty crisp, they look pretty ok. They're not the best looking renders out there but you can't really say anything explicitly bad about them. Animations are also pretty ok for the most part, but sometimes some of them look rather blurry, like they were made in lower resolution or something. There is really decent number of animations here, even some outside of sex scenes. Models are, again, quite solid but nothing too crazy. We had games back in 2017 or 2018 with better looking models. What disappointed me were the sex scenes in general. In theory everything looks fine, renders and animations are solid but for me, those scenes weren't hot and sexy enough. We have different poses, different camera angles etc. but those scenes feel pretty lifeless in my opinion. I will be brutally honest here, many sex scenes in this game are just boring. Audio and sound design is pretty great here. There is no voice acting but we have some basic stuffs like no, yes etc. voiced at the start of the characters dialogue lines like in some jRPG game without full voice acting. Music is pretty nice and we also have some sounds during sex scenes.

    Overall, Fetish Locator is a above average game but not good enough to be considered a good title. Week one of the game is pretty meh, week two especially in its second half is significantly better but week three is pretty meh again. Story is pushed too far into the background so at times we just randomly jump from one sex scene to the next, and those sex scenes despite looking solid visually are not really entertaining. Completing the game and going through 8 endings took me around 25 hours so there is a really good number of content here but the game is not interesting and sexy enough to keep player's attention all the time.

    Quite good start, sadly failed to keep me intrigued.
    Falls of with every scene, up to the final twist that is not really original neither shocking, and definietly not written amazingly.
    Ugh.. Fuckin limits.

    Honestly.. it's not a bad game. The scenery is above average.
    but it's just "not my thing"
    Mostly because a long part of the game slowly builds up expectations for Lydia, the girl the MC is in love with... and to my point the hottest too... but almost nothing will ever happen with her.
    Not bad... not really good neither.

    It is good enough.

    The concept of the feitsh app is pretty good for a porn game.

    There are a lot of fetishes, I don´t think they are really extrem or anything. but that´s just the presentation there are some more that are extreme.

    The characters are pretty boring and the models are average not bad looking but not really hot either.

    The dialogues are okay but can get boring.

    The music is pretty generic.

    The animations are meh pretty robotic but not bad.


    If you want to see a lot of fetishes, or maybe wanna start seeing more extreme ones this is a good starting point.

    When I saw the puzzling name of the game, I thought it was going to be a silly little game, but I didn't expect the quality of this game to be completely unexpected. With my expectations being very low, I got a great deal of pleasure out of this game. Excellent plot, characters of all colors, well rendered and animated, these are the timeless cornerstones of a great game, and it certainly delivers on that. At the same time, unlike other games, it's a distinctive path to derive a plot based on fetish, which makes for a great experience for players who are tired of playing with vastly inferior plots. I highly recommend this game!

    I was torn between 3 and 4 stars... and depending on the day, I could go either way, but if I am honest, 3 stars feels right even though I would say this VN is above average.

    First of all there is a lot to love. Lots of LIs all with different looks and personalities. Lots of kinks and the app idea was really well done. There are so many great h scenes and at the end of the day, if you like a lot of that as well as a variety of kinks, you will probably love this VN.

    For me, Arthur Fonzarelli jumped the shark when the MC has to spend his birthday naked.It just goes downhill from there. The ending is silly. The underlying conspiracy plot is silly. The bad guy is silly. The game just devolves into something that was interesting into something... well... silly.

    I will say, it's fantastic to see a talented dev committed to their work. They do produce regular updates and they are even creating a sequel. It is important we support these kinds of devs.

    If you like to chose from a lot of kinks, and you are good with hot women and a non-horsecock MC, you should download and try it. You might like it. If a story is important, you might actually like it, but don't be surprised if you start rolling your eyes either. Either way, give it a shot and download it.

    This is indeed a top tier game in case of visuals and content. There are lot of different girl models not the usual models you see in lot of games.

    This is a link based game. Kinks are avoidable but if the kinks are not for you, you gonna miss a lot of content.

    This give more priority to lewd scenes but also not the usual average porn game. There is a decent story.

    Week 1 is start and it's short. I loved week 2 it got some nice story arcs. Week 3 is the bigger. Best in week 3 is the different endings & mystery behind fetish locator. This is a harem game you can fuck all girls without consequences and there are different endings. At certain point of the game you can try the ending with a girl or some girls of you are on their path. Also there is harem ending. To experience game fully check out walkthrough

    Now about the mystery of fetish locator. Spoilers ahead read at your on risk in week 3 there is Lc and NTR path. But this NTR is only applicable to one girl. Even if you don't like NTR, try this path to unveil the mystery of fetish locator. You will know this is the real reason behind it. On other path it is sweetened up to avoid heart breaks. Check out walkthrough

    Kudos to the development team, cause this one really a big game in terms of content and got top notch renders and animations. There is no annoying sandbox elements. There is music and bg sound for ambience. But only annoying thing in the game is the sims like voices.

    This game is completed. Now there is only certain endings to implement.

    This game surprised me. Not that I had low expectations, but there are so many details that make the game a 4-star or more for anyone. I can't imagine giving it less in a review.

    Good music, beautiful girls, a wide variety of fetishes and characters, a good story, and a harem route.

    The part that made me deduct a star was the ending of the story. I found it somewhat weak and wished it had been more well-developed. It's not that the plot is too predictable, but I was disappointed.

    I also found the game a bit short, which prevented me from giving it 5 stars. Three weeks of gameplay, but the last one is just a big wrap-up. By then, you already know all the girls, you've been with all of them (one way or another), and basically, the magic fades after the second week, becoming somewhat repetitive.

    In conclusion, I recommend playing it and exploring as many fetishes as you're comfortable with; it's practically all optional and quite explicit. I can't wait for another game from this creator.

    I started this game with the firm conviction that it will be just a porn deliver system, a series of disjoined sex scenes. Boy was I wrong.
    FL has a really interesting story (minus a few weird writing decisions during week 3), quite a large fetish spread (most of which can be skipped if not your cup of tea) and high quality renders/animations. After experiencing it, ViNovella jumped pretty high in my adult developers list and I will totally follow their future projects.
    Highly recommended game!

    "Progressive" script or "woke" script of protagonist for a story that for a novel, has a more than decent story unlike other novels (in the end it ends up being consumed with one of many tendentious purposes).

    This is one of my favorite AVNs. The character enders are excellent for the most part. There are a few I don't like that much.

    The story is fun and nothing serious. This game is just a lot of fun and has a lot of sex.

    My main complaints would be that some characters are basically locked behind specific fetishes. I think more fetishes could have been included as well.

    I'm also not a fan of the art in the endings. I don't like to bring artists down but it's not that good. Especially compared to the renders it's based on.

    Great game. Don't think about it too much. It's really stupid (in a good way).

    Liv08

    One of the games with best sexual content around here!
    You can do almost everything, and always have the choice to pass.

    The renders are lovely, the story and music okayish -no no need for great story and immersion-

    I recommend to play with walkthrough or mod to know what are you dealing with.

    Oh, and the MC has a normal size polearm so it's nice. Give a try to discover your kinky side...

    Words cannot express how good this game is. The renders are great, music and sound enhance the dialogue and ambiance, writing and characters are fantastic, and the game does a great job of letting you choose which kinks you want to engage with and which you don't.

    This is the most professionally made visual novel I've ever seen, and quality is maintained from start to finish.

    This game will make you feel as if you're at one of the lowest ranked colleges... Not like "elite school students doing stupid things", it's just dumb students doing dumb things... which is depressing af... No disrespect to the Dev yet I just don't understand the popularity of this whole series...

    I keep replaying this over and over again, and blame it for singlehandedly making me go after futa/trans games, even futa/trans protagonists. All because of Ms. Harris. What a great character. XD

    Who would have known a cock cage has the power to manipulate the fabric of space and time to change the very life and persona of MC's beloved.

    On a technical level, the models are amazing. I do recognize a few, but that's not a negative. Scenes with multiple characters were well done (must need a beefy machine to render them, huh) with good posing, animations, etc.

    Favorite endings would be harem and one that hasn't been released yet. You can guess the second one.

    I am frequently surprised at the enormous creativity out there in the world of western erotic games, and this game is a fun and sexy example.
    A weird and somewhat silly premise, paired with fun characters and a decent variety of different-looking women, becomes quite a lot of hot fun.
    I especially like the variety of women (hooray for small breasts!) and the ability to have a say in which fetishes are included. I like watching women urinate, but I never, ever at any point in my life want to see scat.
    Does the game include ALL fetishes? No. But it's got a lot more variety than most games. Plus, it's good-natured about it all.

    The plot started a bit interesting but it's shame that it was kinda thrown out of the window on week three by replacing the "retention program" that was blackmailing people into playing the game by a generic "VIP program" contest or whatever to win prize money. I'm guessing the change was due to Patreon policy or something similar because it completely derailed the story and went from interesting to boring after that.

    There are plenty of lewd scenes and fetishes (even though I skipped most of them and thank god the game gives the option to), so at least it won't lose on that front. Real shame on how the author had to retcon the most integral part of the plot though.

    This game is amazaing. In a sea of uncompleted, short, not so polished games this is without a shadow of a doubt TOP 10 games on this site. I appreciate that there are some many fetishes here and majority of them are optional, the girls are amazing and almost all of them get fleshed out. Don´t got much else to say tbh
