VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Full Service Shop [Final] [Alexis Royce]

What i can say? im out of words, extremely short and boring, not into submissive BullS**** .... and the desing ... well better not go into that, plus if could give half star just for the supposed "effort"

Short and bland but ultimately looks and runs fine whilst also being complete.

Also it's a game where the characters are roleplaying...
It would be so much better, if they just weren't and it was real.
You're already playing a gaime, why break the immersion even more by adding an extra layer?
You don't need a safeword, you have one. It's ALT + F4

the gameplay is basic renpy with a few choices here and there, but the art is impossible to get past, its like its from the shit part of tumbler, add that to the fact that this seems like the part of "inclusive" that's exclusively man hating makes this an impossible to play game

[Review of vFinal]

H-games by women* with a specifically female** audience in mind fascinate me. Titles like Hardcoded and Full Service Shop are deliberately countercultural to the majority of porn out there, choosing to focus on extended dialogue and character development over straight-up pictures/animations of people fucking. Of course, there's plenty of that, but it's generally built up to after lots and lots of plot. It's interesting to see new ideas injected into the H-game space — lord knows we don't need more suburban incest VNs.

However, for these new games to succeed in bucking current trends, they need to be good. Full Service Shop isn't.

The dialogue and writing that games of its ilk rely on are weak here, too weak to justify the amount of text boxes the game spews at you. The presentation doesn't make up for it either — the artist isn't great at drawing faces and has a shaky grasp of proportions at best — and there's next to no gameplay beyond basic dialogue trees.

If I would sum this up in a word, it would be 'amateurish.' Full Service Shop has all of the hallmarks of being made by beginners, down to the symptoms of original character disease displayed by the concept art. I welcome the fresh blood, and I encourage further attempts from Alexis, but as it stands, this didn't cut it for me.

It's lovely to see a game that's different. I don't get how this game is political in any capacity. T/nb people existing isn't a political stance, lol. It would be great if there were more art, because the art that's there is charming.

Re-reviewing since I felt like I was a bit harsh and did not fully complete the game until recently.

Quick Summary
- Great character art
- Great background art
- Average story telling and could use some improvement
- Lack of CG was a bit disappointing
- Dialogue was very boring
- Sound Design was very nice
- Gender pronouns aren't really needed in a porn game but thought it was a neat thing to add to help a person to put them self in the main characters shoes.

Rating 2.6/5

Side Note: I am not rating this game poorly for its use of pronouns and personally don't care what people call themselves. This rating is based off what makes a game good Art, Audio, Dialogue, and Story. Porn games should be enjoyed by all but not all games are made for everyone.

Short and bland.
The 'sex' scenes had little content to them. They left no want in me to replay any scenes.
The 'characters' had little personality or fleshing out. Partly because of the short size. Partly because they felt like 'insert generic character here' cutouts.
No life in the game. No life in the story.
Very boring game.

The game itself is really short and the content is the same, really short, but I could call it original, because I did not come across a game like this, but that is may be for a reason! It is well done, just poorly executed, because there is almost no story (because of the shortness) and basically they just flash you. It is censored, but not in the traditional way, no mosaics, they just wear underwear and the most is you can see boobs. No animation, no voice acting, the writing seems ok, but the content is absurdly short for me and nothing to see there just a couple of boobies.
Some may like it, but sadly it is not for me; not a fan.
In my opinion needs more nudity, needs more visual excitement, like sex or something and some more story to make what you see more exciting! I am not a SJW, so the gender neutral terms are... in my opinion BS.
