VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Fetish Locator [Week 3 v3.6.9] [ViNovella]

From what I expected this game to be to what it ended up becoming, this game was a complete surprise for me. It definitely has its niche moments, but it also has some generic tendencies and overly-simplistic storylines. Unlike movies and tv, when a game really suprises you it's often not in the best ways, as is the case for Fetish Locator from my experience.

You might think, especially when early on you seem to have some interaction with a phone app, that this game has some sandbox-like choices where you can locate someone - but there is only essentially a yes/no option alongside the VN for various kinks, but no progressive way to seek out a specific kink. Not only does it go against the title in that way, imo, it also goes against it because as you go through the VN each episode/general progres in the story becomes more about setting up some type of [specific/committed] relationship with each girl. I am sure a lot of people wouldn't see this as a con, but for me I don't know why the MC and overall plot became just like any other typical VN storyline when it could have went so much further.

Overall, while Fetish Locator seems like an S-tier plot/theme on the surface, it ended up becoming mainly about which girl(s) to romance (or 'slave' (one girl, and she's not really a slave at all..)) I wouldn't say this VN is awful, by any means, but it doesn't do enough to live up to its implied promises; Fetish Locator gave me the impression that the dev(s) got caught up in simply doing 'what works' rather than 'being bold,' and for that reason it left me more disappointed.

There are very few games that reach the upper echelon of content and quality. This is one of the best. There isn't another game that I'm aware of on this site that hits so many kinks and all of them are optional. Even when you think you're done with the game, you get to the endings. They aren't all finished yet, but dang many of the endings are almost a mini VN on their own. There are a lot of them too.

Really, this game has something for everyone. Sound is good, models are good, animation is good. The writing is as good as to be expected for these types of games.

v3.4.8 review

This game is amazing, it has tons of content, tons of fetishes which you can filter to your liking, gorgeous women and different endings.
If you're looking for a Visual Novel that mostly focuses on sex and kinks, search no more, this is it! If you're looking for a sophisticated story or complex characters because you also want to tease your actual brain then I guess this game only partly fulfils your requirements.

This is a good game. At time of reviewing it is basically complete although a handful of the dozen or so endings don't have a full epilogue.

Positives include nice art and design, lack of bugs, smooth to play, not filler or grind. The game features a number of meaningful choices and a wide variety of kink and fetish activities with the wide variety of women. I think of the dozen or so options for romantic and sexual partner most people will find one that strikes a chord with them.

The writing is ok. Not bad, but at times it does become a bit bland and unsophisticated - it's quite wish fulfillmenty in the sense that you basically play through the game with a selected handful of women basically throwing themselves at you despite nothing of merit being done to earn their attentions. Then you pick one to end up with.

Also, I don't want to complain about the sexual content, as it's certainly better than most vanilla games of this type. But there's not much in the way of hardcore BDSM or power play, until three of the epilogues really go into it! And after getting those endings I wish more of that vibe had been in the main game.

Pros:
- Very high amount of fetish content (obviously) for those interested
- Large cast of potential love interests with varied and realistic body proportions
- Interesting concept with the "Fetish Locator" app
- Consistently solid render quality
- Completable with respectable length

Cons
- Fetishes are often tied to specifc girls so if you don't like a fetish you miss out on a girl and if you don't like a girl you can miss out on a fetish you're interested in
- Despite a large number of love interests the vast majority are just okay and nothing more. Quantity over quality was the choice made here
- Story is inconsistent and at times poorly thought out but serviceable enough in Week 1 and 2. Week 3 is worse, failing to wrap up many key storylines in a satisfying way. Some was just bizarre
- Sex scenes are also more on the "okay" side. Good content on paper and many of them but they could be executed better and other games have done so

Overall, this is enjoyable enough for the most part, at least for the first two weeks. I recommend this to people interested in a lot of fetishes for a decent way to spend a few nights. I don't think there is enough substance to recommend to anyone else.

I will have to give this game a 1. It's so boring and so bland. Nothing is worth it. The characters are trash. The fetishes are just meh. Overall just a clunky game with bang average renders. Their name game is even worse than this one. DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND SKIP THIS GARBAGE.

To put it short: It's averagely serviceable.

To put it long:

I was pretty addicted starting off. The premise was interesting. But, as the game progressed, a slew of characters started getting introduced and the content started ballooning up. Now normally, that is not a bad thing. But here, unless I behaved like a harem fuckboy and tapped every ass that crossed me, the game became really short and linear. Rather than a solid story, it morphed into a full on event finding simulator..- or should I say Event Locator?

Unfortunately, it's a bit bad at being that as well. The presence of so many characters leads to erratic jumps from one development to the next and all of that compounds fast- so much so that you start loosing track of the multiple personal stories.

On the positive side though, 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 abrupt lewd content appearance, a jarring interruption a lot of times. Of-course you can try and focus down one girl only but like I mentioned above, you end up missing a lot of content that way.

Still it was going fine to a degree, but then my interest in the game took a huge free fall the moment cages got introduced. After that it all felt like the dev was in a hurried pursuit to tie the story up as fast as possible.

So, how do I feel about it overall? Well, not bad tbh. For a one time read, that is. It did start off pretty strong after-all. But, after that, it slowly turned into a numb downhill experience. And once I discovered the entire story, I just didn't feel the re-playability value in it.

Your mileage of-course may vary, but that is my 2 cents.

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.

NB : this game has many dull moments still I'm giving it 5 stars because of its amount of content.

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).

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...
