VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Friendship with Benefits 2 [v1.2.0] [TwistedScarlett]

Horny VN with existential dread! My favorite genre

Enjoyed the first game thoroughly and already enjoying 0.1.0 quite a lot.
The neon night city environment is quite a departure from the fantasy setting of the first game but it just so happens to be an aesthetic that I appreciate a lot.
The new effects such as the slight CG movements and the moans during scenes is a really nice touch.

Can't wait for the future updates!

Twistedscarlett is one of the top of the top when it comes to western porn VNs and it fucking shows. The game is currently in a very early stage and so most of the characters are not introduced, but if the prequel is any indication, quality will remain just as high as it is right now, in terms of writing as well as design and art.
It takes everything that was good about the previous game, and adds what experience they've gathered onto it to make it even better while cutting no corners. Everything's peak, characters are likeble (if they are meant to be, fuck you Melody), they talk and think like real people in accordance to their character and values. If anything, they are *too reasonable* and logical, unlike real people. They've made a fairly fleshed out world with the hurdles of the setting and now delved into the question of "what if an event happened in the past, how would this world have changed in the meantime". So its nice to see different perspectives and "what ifs" you wouldnt have thought about. Your player character's justifiably conflicted and has a real personality outside of the player. but for the most part its a vessel for you to project onto, as well as deliver snarky dialogue without being annoying, since he is able to bounce off of the other character's personalities.
The art is pretty obvious, what you see in the screenshots is what it is. its not animated but the quality of the stills is consistent with the artstyle of the busts and always just as good.
The sounds are just subtle enough and dont get annoying like in other VNs where scenes are accompanied by either music or a cacophony of squelching noises.
Cant wait for more updates, keep a close eye on this one.

Peak horse fucking. Seems to be very similar to its predecessor but with a modern setting in an alternate universe with some mysterious stuff going on. Very much looking forward to seeing more of this.

Im loving the game so far. So glad you made it. Played the first one like crazy. My favorite character in the first one was Butters. I hope she will be amazing in the second one too. Can't wait to play the next update.

I just played the first release and it was great to be back at Arcadia, even though it looks a lot darker than the first time, but it will great to bring the light back to the people there. Knowing you other games I'm sure it will be a success when it's finally done. I can't wait to see where the story goes.

The first game comfortably rests in my top 5 most fav VNs in existence, it stood out for it's Steller art, humanized and compelling characters and intriguing narrative that is more then just simply a porn game. all of scarlets work has a level of passion to bring worlds to life and though the sequel is just in its first iteration it has already lived up to everything i could have wanted in a sequel and more.

Loved the first game, and this one is looking to be just as great (can't wait for the next update and future updates.), also loved the monster girl 1000 game, this will be an insta purchase on steam once its finished.

I just one the say that this game is one of the few hentai games that I have ever finish playing. The game overall is good, nothing to complain about. The Lore is intriguing, making me want to put out some theory about what will happen next. The characters are amazing, slightly difference art style but still keep its distinctive feeling that the moment I saw the art, I know who is the creator. The sound perfect. 100000/10

Love this game and basically everything TwistedScarlett produces
The art is great,
the story is great,
the characters are fantastic.
Development is astonishingly consistent.
I have no doubts this will be everything I hope for
Looking forward to more

This game picks up all the good aspects of the first game. The art is good, its not a pain to get to, and the writing is amusing if you have the patience to press spacebar once every 4 seconds. Its not complete yet so theres nothing so much to say on the plot, but the buildup looks interesting.

It's a twistedscarlett game, is there anything else to say?

In all seriousness though, FWB1 has always been one of my favourite games on this site. And it might come as a shocker, but, I'm not into MLP at all. Never have been. Still, for some magical reason, this game pulls me in like a fizzy drink left out in the sun draws in flies.

Monster girls, various kinks, the perfect sandbox that allows you to go for whatever girl you like without major grinding, beautifully hand-drawn scenes (that are plentiful, too, I might add) different paths and secrets to discover (again, without any annoying grind, just pure exploration), awesome soundtracks mostly by sewerslvt, and so, so much more. It's hard to describe but if you want a genuine game that has hand-drawn art, passion and love put into it - this it. You don't even have to like MLP. If you really hate it, though, just check out his other games.

And there is just so much more to come. He's got an amazing schedule and these games always end up being fully finished. This is already something that you CANNOT say about 99% of other hgame devs.

Scatlett is a true keeper. If there's anyone worth supporting - it's him. Awesome guy, awesome games, stays true to his word and always delivers. This game is going to be amazing.

So far really good, I like it. But its really just an intro and a few scenes. There are supposed to be minigames added later on and more free roam.
While the original FwB played in a more medieval setting. FwB 2 plays in a modern setting.
I really like the idea with the smartphones and the apps. Girls can write you or send you lewd pics now. Or make announcements, you can buy items later on and so on. I don't quite like the switch from a boutique to a brothel but its that kind of game so its fine I suppose.
The characters are largely the same like in FwB 1 and behave accordingly. But its not a direct continuation of the first game, more of a alternative universe kind of thing. While the events of the first game did happen canonically, the second game just repeats to you what happened and you can tell characters what you did with them in that alternative universe. But you have to introduce yourself to all the girls as if you met the first time.
Its FwB 1 transported to a more modern setting with a new story and major antagonist added to it.
I can't give it full 5 stars yet, since there is a lot of content that still needs to be released. So I'll wait for that. But so far what is there is good.
Music is fitting and relaxing, sound effects are nice, art has improved quite a lot too. Much more use of shading, much more details and the girls look much more fluffy as opposed to FwB 1.
