    trama muito boa, gráfico também muito bom, e a qualidade da arte também é muito bem feita... uma obra prima. Minha única critica é com relação aos nomes , preferia que deixassem os originais

    Loved it. Never came across any major issues(freezing, crashing, etc.) Only things I personally feel like commenting about was the change from the OG Doggy style to the new one with moxie (wish there was a third gift option to unlock it) and the crystal ball. I like the concept behind it, but it didn't allow revisiting all the scenes (think someone said it was a bug, not to sure), would have preferred it be a classic gallery in most lewd games... But eh, Dev is going to do what the Dev is going to do. The crystal ball not showing everything wasn't much of an issue for me in the first place. Overall, Definitely worth playing if you're into these types of games. Can't wait to see what other types of games TwistedScarlett makes.

    I'm not even into MLP, nor do I know shit about the characters, but if you're like me and even have a little bit of an attraction to anthromorphs then I totally recommend this game.

    I'll start with the negatives first because there aren't a lot of them:
    Sadly there are no animations which is really a shame but the writing and dirty talk during sex is so well written that it doesn't matter too much. Secondly, a lot of the girls kind of look too similar but I'm mostly blaming that on the look of the MLP characters I'm assuming these girls are based on. Lastly, the story isn't bad but there are occasional parts of the story that feel too expository and you might find yourself skipping a lot if you're impatient.

    The positives: The writing is hella good and the dirty talk during sex is extremely well written. The girls also have pretty unique personalities and you'll defiantly find yourself having favorites. Also, the number of lewd scenes in this game is immense so you will never find yourself turned off.

    All in all, if you're remotely into anthromorphs, download this game!

    Being there is no ending, I am kinda torn... I had an asston of fun with this... It was entertaining. The characters were a joy to learn about. If you would have told me I would like a MLP rule 34 game before this, I would tell you that you need help... but this made me do a 180. Dev on here says there wont be endings, so I suppose if you like some surprisingly decent hentai and dont mind it from furries and can accept that the end of each's side story is their end... then go for it. There arent many better out there imo...

    I have seen this game a few times on this website, but never played it until now because of my preference against anthropomorphic MLP characters, as well as the fact that I thought it couldn't be that good or have that much content. But a few days ago seeing that it updated again I finally decided to play it.

    I could say I'm both somewhat disappointed as well as pleasantly surprised with the game. On the good side, I found that it has way more sexual content than I expected it to have, along with an art style that is pretty decent if not outright good. The story is also well written, although with quite few grammar mistakes here and there.

    The game itself is pretty easy and straight forward to play, and with a helpful and guiding user interface to boot. Simply visiting every character of interest to work and socialize and get money and sex scenes in return, money that you use to buy items to unlock further sex scenes or make work easier so you can earn even more money.

    There is very little grind to be had, as the payment and cost of stuff is fairly reasonable, and most sex scenes can be obtained without actually using money.

    Now, as for the bad side, it mostly comes down to personal preference and nothing really wrong with the game itself. But I expected this game to be an actual MLP one, but it's more of an alternate universe fanfiction one. Aside from making the characters anthro, which could be easily excused as a way to appeal to a larger demographic, there are a great many differences between the world and the characters of this game and those of the original work.

    In a way, the laws that comprise the reality of the MLP world have been twisted, and the very foundations that make up their society have been shaken to the point of being upside down. And to me this seems that it was done either to avoid copyright infringement, to make it easier and faster for the MC to get sex or maybe just because the developer didn't like some things about the original story.

    Things like making pony society predominantly female, with only 15% of the population being male and females going into heat during mating season. Quite the common concepts in the realm of MLP fanfiction. But to me it all boils down to just convenience, and along with the characters being anthro, meaning that it would be much easier for them to find a human form more attractive, there was basically no way for the MC to not get laid without first having to actually work long and hard into getting that pussy.

    And I suppose I can see why that's also convenient for the developer, as otherwise the game would have needed to be something more resembling of a proper dating sim or visual novel with actual individual routes of considerable length, which might not have been the best business model.

    And don't get me wrong, I'm all up for making sex easier and faster to obtain in games, so I wouldn't complain much if only one or two of these concepts were to be used. But all three of them, plus some other things that just further distance this story from the being the real MLP that I know is just too much.

    Stuff like the non-existence of cutie marks, magic working differently (teleportation that works by "killing" you is freaking stupid and not how it works in the show at all), Celeste and Selene not moving the sun and the moon, characters having widely different backstories and considerably altered personalities, Butters, Sundowner, Selene, Prisma, Moxie and Melody being the most egregious examples.

    Another one would be technology being highly advanced, to a point of equality if not superiority with modern humanity, stuff like laptops, internet, and video games. The first two at least never being seen or mentioned in the show to my knowledge, with only the last one being seen once for a small short gag in one episode, and it still was in a primitive form such as an arcade machine.

    And I guess at least computers and the internet were necessary for the plot point of a character's story, which was necessary to insert a fetish into a character, which in turn was necessary to make the character easier to fuck. And anyway, tech was always weird in the world of MLP so this one is the least important of my complains, but I think it still warranted a mention.

    One or two different things like these are also nothing new in the world of MLP fanfiction, but when it all keeps piling up along with the previous stuff that I mentioned, it becomes almost unbearable and makes me question if this is technically even MLP anymore. I can't help but wonder if the setting of MLP was just sloppily attached to this project to make it more popular, like a marketing ploy or something.

    But for me, it ends up like some sort of Frankenstein monster that was made to work somehow by putting together different parts. You look at it and it somewhat resembles a normal human being, but so much different in many ways.

    But all in all, I still can't rate it with anything below 5 stats since I highly enjoyed the game, and it is by far the best MLP related porn game there is around currently, not that there is much competition, either in quantity or quality.

    EDIT: I'm now subtracting 1 star due to the dev selling out and making the game even more different from MLP in both looks and story just to put it on Steam.

    I love MLP and this game takes it to the max, it has great character development and good sex scenes, the addition to new species are great because they have their own personalities. It's a shame that there isn't any knock up or pregnancy scenes; like if you were thought alchemy lessons from Butters to brew a potion that makes your sperm compatible to impregnate a mare.

    Became one of my top 5 NSFW games of all time real quickly. Usually porn games don't have too much depth/boring characters that just look sexy, this is an exception. All the characters I loved and was surprised at how deep it got at times. I love this game so much I went through the trouble of getting it on my phone so it's easier to, well you know...
    The scenes were all hot and had some good dialogue instead of the boring just "your cock is so big" etc, each scene felt different and happened differently so it wasn't just you do a job and sex just because, there's actually a reason to it more than just sex. Also MC is not an asshole.

    This is going on my list of NSFW must plays, despite it being MLP (not saying it's bad, just some are turned off by it)

    This game.. what can I say? Designed, obviously, for MLP Enthusiasts so keep that in mind should you proceed.

    Now to my review:
    Those of us seeking an adventure with choice, a VN with a heart and soul its' own, aren't looking for mindless porn but a tale that enthralls us, characters that pique and entice our interest, that draw our waking moments to their very state of being. Such captivating titles are in short supply in virtually every venue these days; from movies, tv, and Video games, to books and journals.

    Every now and then, a rare gem can be found amongst the rest, a title that grips you and begs you to engage it further, explore its' every written word and draw upon it's every preconceived thought. Friendship with Benefits is such a tale. Is it erotic? Oh goodness yes, but some of the characters, and some of their stories, stay with you long after you stepped away from the world in which they live.

    Keep up the good work Twisted Scarlett. Bravo!

    I played this fully expecting to end up skipping all the dialogue and just get to the good part, I can count the VN's I've liked on one hand. But I came out of this one loving it, the art is top notch and the writing is actually good. I never expected to get invested into characters in a hentai game, especially one based on MLP of all things.

    was just expecting another mediocre mlp thing but ended up with a really good game with the girls actually being interesting
    People might dislike MLP but so far this is just a really great story with some cute characters and pretty good sex scenes.
    I do hope there is a proper route/ending you can go for once the game is farther developed or even finished.
    Definitely worth checking out and I'm excited to see where the Dev goes next with it

    This game is remarkably good. Not good for what it is, or good for the concept, but genuinely well written, funny, and has solid art. I have no clue how it has come to be that this is the case, but I can do nothing but highly recommend the game.

    I'm not usually into VNs like this, but this one is quite amazing. The characters are well developed, there is a ton of story content, and the time it must have taken to do this is a show of the devs talent and dedication to their passion. I will keep my eye out for any future updates. Keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing your work.

    It's been a while since I've seen a game with such elaborate character designs down to the smallest detail, and I can't imagine how long it must have taken to colour the models. For that alone, it deserves my admiration.

    An ideal game to have a good time. If there's a parallel universe like that, I want a wormhole NOW XD.

    I don't usually like my little pony lewd games but these character models are humanoid enough to be Monster Girls basically. Game has a interesting story to it and feels very relaxed plus all these sexy female monster girls! Give me a 1st class ticket to this world! Give it a try if you want. Probably won't regret it. Very nice Ambient music that is quite relaxing as well.
