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

Good idea, bad execution. The game mostly suffers from its worse animations, these are some of the lowest quality animations I've ever seen in any adult game yet. There are even some scenes where the penis clips through the pussy.

I'm giving it a maximum score for the fact that this game encouraged me to replay the saves with choices and explore different storylines, and it's just wonderful! All the options are interesting, and they are worth it! The story is captivating (I wish I could find such an app and like-minded people in the real world). I'm not a fetish enthusiast, but the ability to skip it is a big plus. The characters are quite beautiful, each with their own personality. Overall, the game is visually pleasing. I wish the developers success, and I hope this story will be endless.

Boring and cheesy lines. Unless this game is specifically made for teens aged 13-15 years old, then it's my fault. There are games where the dialogue is too straight forward and frivolous, and there are games like this where the dialogue is too many pleasantries and too little content. The number of fetishes that exist isn't bad, it's just that it doesn't really matter to me especially without the interesting conversation. Maybe in the future you want to pay more attention to that part, and by "you" i mean to all the developers out there.

This... This is the one...

Well, my expectations at first were kinda low. I expected just some chaotic and direct kinky sex show [but I was looking for a kinky sex show so I wouldn't have had complained too much about it]. However, it actually was one of the finest games out there.

The story is pretty cool, engaging and even though sometimes it feels like it takes way too many turns, it ends up fitting well. Most characters, specially the ones that have a bigger pressence, are very distinctive in both looks and personalities. There is a very wide range of things that makes this a very fun experience that never turns dull.

The dev took good care of making both choices that matter and giving you the option to go through (or not) with many of the fetishes at play. I was very surprised with many of the scenes and possibilities.

The 3 week format is very well managed. I honestly can't complain at all about the experience, probably the best overall experience i've had so far. I just want more like this.

bizarre game. really weird fetishes like cum in the shoe. i don't get the appeal of this game, it's just poorly thought out, tedious dialogue. gross looking characters at least warn us before all of the weird bizarre scat/shoe/whatever fetish stuff is done.

rare masterpiece. everything is skippable, many fetishes, since the app has a fetish of the day.

similar to Treasure of nadia in many ways, that the protag starts as a seemingly loser, then turns out he was never really a loser, and ends up a total chad with a gigaharem and 20+women. literally.

writing is great. every character feels unique. very rarely you felt that something makes no sense. there are a few bugs about achievements (in week 1 and 2)

the deluxe version even has a rape scenario. there is 1 gay route even though the MC is gigastraight. it has everything for everyone.

tbh game might be interesting even without sex but there are a shitton of sex scenes and a lot of them are interesting. i played a shitton of porn games so i could be a bit jaded yet even for me many many scenarios were quite interesting. good renders too.

literally nothing bad about this game. you will just want more of this universe.

One of the best game i played it has all the what i want
Story 5/5
Dialog 4/5
Sexual exposure 5/5
Graphic 4/5
Addiction 5/5
Idea 100/5
3 parts game it is unique in it self and i cant for more sequels best part was the twist in week 3 and i love it. its shocking but a good
Every character has a story and i appreciate it

Story: 4.5/5

Game offers plot twists, humours, intellectual and witty dialogues that reflect actual college life. All these builds up the immersion into the storyline.

Originality and amount of content : 5/5
There are many games that offer multiple fetishes, but this game takes the cake. Sure, like all those games, FL offer opt in/opt out choices for fetishes, but none of them are as numerous in terms of the number of fetishes FL offers. After all, FL cannot afford to let its own game title down

Renders and Animations: 5/5

The R&As are amazing with beautiful character skins with some moles or different shades and shapes of tans, body types, etc. Each character model is unique and distinguishable.

Con 1: For some scenes, certain fetishes are unavoidable (seen in the background) in one of the endings. It seems like the developers had forgotten on the kink preference the player has set during their playthrough. Nevertheless, 95% of the game is adhering to the kinks that the player has set or chosen.

Con 2: Certain endings are not developed yet animation-and-render-wise even though the game is marked as developed. The developers stated that they will be on Patreon and those endings are probably there to help developers make by for their upcoming game Vinovella University.

Con 3: MC's crush could've used a better model to enhance the idea that the MC is deeply entranced by her.

Con 4: Certain fetishes do not have as many scenes as others.

Overall, I give the game a 4.8/5.0 rating.

This game is a gem, one of the few that are finished among a mountain of abandoned patreon bait v0.2 alpha stage memes. Bravo to the author for the amount of effort and dedication it undoubtedly took to make such a collosal amount of coherent content as well as following it through to completion, as well as having it be in essentially buffet format where you can pick your poison. Also huge props to be able to write the fetish variety into the story cohesively rather than just making a brain dead porn scene scroller, that took a lot of creative work without a doubt.

It wasn't particularly fappable to me I don't think the intention of the writing was to illicit arousal but the story is honestly worth your time.

Also have to note that amrose is an angel. All the girls are written nicely but whoever came up with amrose really gets it. Name checks out you've located my fetish.

Also the way bdsm and kink is handled very tastefully. There's consent talk and safe words and people talking about their hangups over kinks while they explore etc. It's very realistic as a depiction of what should happen between people who even if they're imperfect they at least understand things like boundaries and respect. It's very wholesome overall.

I would consider this game as a classic. It's definitely not perfect, the later content looses it's edge a bit, but I'd recommend it to everyone who wants to have a good fap and likes the various fetishes.

Pros:
- a nice balance between porn and story: this is a porn first game with a good story which is not just for show but it really legitimates the porn content.
- a real fetishfest: there's ton of content but it doesn't get boring due to the wide variety of fetishes, without wandering too far to the dark side
- good visuals: maybe it counts as a bit dated nowadays (especially the animations) but still looks good and lets be honest, 95% of the crap from this site looks way worse
- good characters: LIs are interesting and diverse, most of them have enough content to have some depth
- good writing: although there're some weaker parts, the story and the writing is really good and enjoyable.
- the game is completed, the story is wrapped up properly

Cons:
- although I mentioned the good balance between porn and story, this isn't true for the later parts. The writer put too much emphasis on the story and the characters, especially in the endings. I don't say that these segments are bad, just they are a bit boring (lots of text) considering that this is a real porn game, not a story oriented erotic VN.
- probably too many LIs: I always prefer less LIs with more content. Some girls are basically irrelevant for the main story and are abandoned in later segments, they could have been left out completely to begin with.

[v0.3.0.15] As a fetish theme based game, it's great; as a adult game, it's nice. My summary:

- Decent story. It is a pretext to experiment all different fetishes the game has. In my opinion, too much text sometimes and not that great quality.

- H-scenes are great. Very well directed scenes.

- Good animations.

- The pace of the scenes are nice almost all time, a bit accelerated in the final part of the game.

- Character design very good. A lot variety of body types, personalities and tastes. It's a shame that if you dont like a specific fetish, some girls will be "locked".

- Great sound/music. The music is really nice through all game and when there is a H-scene, it change to somesome more relaxed/erotic. As sounds, there are random ones like "knocks" or wind, "voices" and moans too.

- Almost technically perfect. I played it with 0 bugs, but when replaying some scenes sometimes launch exceptions, but all of them were ignorables. Stable fps.

* To explain myself, because this is a adult game, I appreciate a lot more H-scenes than story, thats why I give it 4 stars (and the story is not that bad neither).

one of my fav avn atm, story is good, nothing crazy but it works and opens many paths that finally lead to one of the many endings this game has. Visuals are beautiful! specially the girls, that are not only very unique on look and traits. And the game is fun too, music is ok, the small sounds give some "life" to the dialogues. Its clear that this is a proyect that deserve all the praise it has. And the most obvius one, flavors for everyone. Hope they make a few spin-offs if not a sequel.

This game makes me sad, so I won't be going too in-depth with it.

The gist of it is that I first played this game back when Week 1 was just ending (ie: years ago). And I LOVED it.
The girls were hot, the guy wasn't hideous, the fetishes were varied, and it had a hot trans girl. Literally checking all the boxes for me. And it checked those boxes for other people too, just check out some of the earliest reviews of the game and count how many times people use the word "promising".

In fact, I loved it so much, I decided to stop playing until it was complete in order to have a full experience of the game. So I waited, and waited, and waited. Every time I saw it update, I was reminded of how awesome it was and how excited I was for it to finish.

This leads us to now. The game is finally done and I finally replayed it. It's sad to say, but oftentimes, the other side of "promising" is "disappointing".

First off, the once-beautiful models now look very dated. The animations are stilted and not nearly as smooth as more modern games, the writing that I mostly ignored in favor of the great erotic content was suddenly sticking out like a sore thumb now that the erotic content is middling at best.

Some people might say that comparing it to modern games isn't fair, but there are plenty of older games that have reworked models and improved visuals/animation as time went on, but this dev seemed to be content sticking with the old, bland, and boring models and animations from beginning to end.

Overall, I'm super disappointed that this game ended up the way it did. It was so promising and I had very high (perhaps unrealistic) hopes for what it might have become. Hopefully the dev's next project will have some of the same content, but with some improved writing and updated models.

I waited till this was done before I tried it. Now it is complete so cool.

I found it average, I guess unlike others who rate this so highly, I wasn't that impressed. Lots of girls, tonnes of content, lots of different fetishes.

The story, really didn't find it engaging, most of the LIs I found were shallow and everything seemed just...a vehicle to get to the fetish stuff.

Good, even great graphics, but no depth and didn't really care about the characters.

Bonus for completion, bonus for ending (some of them are filled out). Just felt meh..

Edit: So completed the journey, still meh... Lots of kinks, and unfortunately if you like a particular LI you also have to like her particular fetish. For instance a rather interesting and good looking LI, happens to be into watersports, don't like watersports...no content. Same with cosplay, if not your thing..no content. That can be resonable, but ALL the content for them is that fetish type content, there isn't really anything else, but the vehicle this game rides to get you to the particular fetish.

Whole game plays like if you could put pornhub on gonzo random porn . No real depth. Visuals are nice thats about it.

This is in many ways my favorite game. The story is good, many very nice chars and nice renders.
Since I like watersport this is the best game out there. In most game peeing is used as a punishment but in this game the MC actually enjoy it.

I am not in to redheads but the character of Amber Rose is very hot.
The story has come to an end but I think it is the right timing. Its a pity that VU is far from this good.

i've played Being a DIK (one of the best VN on this site imo) and for me this game is at least at the same level. The game is about the MC trying to uncover a mystery of who control the app "Fetish Locator" while collecting points to keep his secret picture safe.
PROS :
- The writing is engaging
- the characters are very likable
- the choice to keep or skip fetish who doesn't interest you.
- But most of all it has FUTA (trans more precisely) !
I like girl as much as the next guy but Lyssa is a freaking goddess

CONS:
- Animation are very good but sometimes too stiff

play week 1&2 with french trad (which explains my poor written English, sorry)

story: 4/5 The rhythm of the story does not suffer from any length, it is rare enough to notice it and it is a big strong point!
Other than that, the story is pretty decent.
The first week to my great despair seemed very "hardcore kink" oriented but fortunately week two is much less

characters: 3/5 There are a lot of them with a correct variety, on the other hand some of the characters that I found the most attractive are unfortunately inaccessible to me, because directly related to "hardcore kink".
We also notice that the access characters on the kinks are not developed enough, they are often only a simple stereotype of their affiliated kink

sex scene: 4/5 They are really many and of a good duration.
But I regret that the dialogues are not very much there, they are not really erotic

renders: 4/5 I did not find anything incredible, but they remain very correct

animation: 4/5 Just like the sex scenes, there are a lot of them! some seemed a little stiff to me, but overall, they are very successful

sound: It is very good unfortunately like in many other games there are big gaps without music

gameplay: 3/5 Lots of choices and lots of paths, but I find it difficult to put more than 3, because the frustration is really very strong, since if you are not of all the kinks, you will really feel like you missed a very large amount of stuff

I don't really give out five stars. Five stars is perfect in my mind. It's a journey rather than a destination. That being said, I gave this one four stars so that might tell you something.

There are other VN's I have rated quite high, but this one in particular is unusual.

This novel falls into the category pf a Fantasy Fulfillment style. That is to say that the choices are very simple digital yes / no choices. Do I want to take this action with this person, yes or no. Nothing actually stops the story from moving onward. The actions are simply the dressing for a pretty darned good story.

An excellent touch as far as the story goes is having a good reason to participate. In the hands of a lesser novel there is a sense of simply giving in to the authors wishes and poking the MC's dick into anything vaguely like a moist orifice. Not so with this one.. Right from the start it is possible to be engaged in what is going on and feel the need to participate as fully as possible.. It gives you a huge sense of freedom by implying that the MC genuinely has no choice but to play along even though you can actually refuse anything or anyone.

Every choice does fit into a real path. While it is possible to "lose", which in an adult VN is usually to end up with no partner(s), this one doesn't feel like losing. There is a path for every companion, and every fetish, and being alone is simply another perfectly reasonable choice. Especially when the big surprise comes out... I personally felt that my own choices made perfect sense.

Since Fetish is in the very name, you may want a complex breakdown of how that works. Ready? Here it is;

YES

There you go. This story covers the most well known participatory fetishes. It even lightly brushes pointing out the mindsets of people who actively engage in such fetishes. It almost feels as if it is written by a therapist as there is nothing judgemental about it. As long as it doesn't contribute to a felony it's fine and dandy. Honestly, you don't have to be into any of these fetishes to enjoy learning a little about them, so this can be fun even if you are very vanilla. The MC has to do some of these things to further his goals, so why not explore a few of these things safely.

The models are not hugely modded other than clothes and hair so you should see most of your favorites. Even though they are physically the same things (again) the writing is so strong that they all seem new.

The gameplay, as previously mentioned, is fantasy fulfillment, but there is a little something more. Just as most others, this means that your choices will not suddenly affect the main story. This is usually my one downer as it can give you a loss of immersion. The story is so heavy however that it doesn't feel that way here. In addition there are a lot of discrete endings so those choices actually do matter rather than simply ending with a harem photo with empty spots in it.

Speaking of endings, there is a twist. On paper, it shouldn't be that hard to miss but I admit that I genuinely got so sucked in to the main story that it did in fact surprise the hell out of me. It also affected how I finished the game.
To me, that's a huge thing. I was mad, I was hurt, and I was left contemplating all of my previous choices. If you take a very slightly different path from my first one, you may feel quite differently. It takes some damned good writing to do that. It felt rushed, but every time I replay it I realize that this twist was set up right from the start. Bravo.

CONCLUSION

I don't think anybody really puts our adult games on the level of triple-A games, but this is one that maybe should be. This one goes on my list as a must-play. The story, the sex, the models, the fetishes... whatever brings you into this community, you should be happy with Fetish Locator.

Excellent variety of content and characters, great quality renders and video clips and a decent story.
Those looking for meaningful branching story choices will find themselves a little bereft, choices are mostly limited to fetish preferences, but the core narrative was engaging enough that most probably won't even grumble too much.

Recommend if you want alot of fetishes and the tags appeal to you. The game has a broad spectrum of fetishes that gets explored, more so than the usual college setting game.

1. The renders are decent and the sex animations are solid. Speaking of which, there are ALOT of sex scenes.
2. The story isn't great. There's a running plotline about the Fetish app, but it really goes all over the place just to have the MC stick his dick in something.
3. A good part of the story is you can make a lot of different choices that actually affect the ending. There are ALOT of endings depending on the love interest you focus on and choices made in game.
4. The love interests feel pretty flat. Ironically, their fetishes become their entire identity and the writing doesn't develop them much more than that.

*Updated to reflect completion of game development.
