Pecker PI has very little female smoking right now, but it isn't shy about showing the MC smoking, and is generally going for a mid-twentieth century hard-boiled detective atmosphere, so I'm hopeful future installments will be more content rich.
Nothing super exciting this post, but I need to unload some reviews because I've got several more games in the pipeline and too many reviews in one post is unwieldy.
I guess Elmwood University is the most promising game on the docket, with one character that smokes both in game and in her character profile. The visuals aren't tremendous, but they aren't zero effort either. The main concerns I have are that the smoking isn't actually mentioned in the script and the character is a psychobitch.
Leanna: Breaking the Facade has two scenes early. I was very disappointed there wasn't more; while the two scenes weren't erotic, they were decently written and the dialogue revolved around the smoking. Limited visuals though.
Lucky Mark has two scenes, one with a dominatrix and one where the MC starts sex while a girls is smoking on the balcony (the smoking stops right after the sex begins. )
Lastly we have Taboo University, which has one scene. Zemfira is smoking during class, and the MC decides to chat with her. During the discussion, MC actually uses the cigarette to flirt with her. The scene has decent writing, revolves around the smoking, and even has fairly high effort visuals. And of fucking course it all goes absolutely nowhere. *sigh*
Ok, except for one game, this set was even worse than I expected.
The one game to have a decent amount of content is FatesCrossed. One LI, Milla, is a heavy smoker. We see her smoke often and it comes up in conversation now and then. That said, it isn't glamorized or fetishized at all, and I found the visuals and posing to be mediocre. Still, quantity counts for something.
Next up, a couple of games with extremely short first releases, and correspondingly short smoking content. To the extent I'm hopeful about either, the one that seems to have more potential is Saving My Childhood Friend. Said friend's aunt smokes a cigarette while flirting with MC in her store. It's a short scene, but the dev still bothered to change the cigarette prop as it burned down. Effort, even if minor, is a good sign. The other possible good sign is that MC has both loose leaf tobacco and a pack of smokes in his cart. We never see MC smoke, so I'm not sure if he does, if his roommate (the titular friend) does, or if the tobacco set was some of the only props the dev had to fill the cart.
Finally, we have Watch Me, which is only longer than the previous two games by being on its second release. The FemMC's friend is shown smoking, though it isn't mentioned in the script at all.
Two games today, both worth talking about even if one is brand new and the other makes "Foot of the Mountains" look like a paragon of playability.
The playable title is After the Reunion, which is about a group of old classmates after a high school reunion. It's on its first release, and consequently fairly short. However, it has two smoking scenes so far. The first is some of the old friends having a smoke together in garage/basement/storage area. Though several topics are discussed in the scene, smoking is one of the focal points, especially when they learn that one woman, Eva, has quit. The second smoking scene is Eva's old friend Serena successfully encouraging Eva to smoke again, among other things. This second scene actually has some decent visual storytelling, the art sells Eva's internal conflict over whether to light up again or not.
The is quite a solid start, but I'm not sure what to expect going forward. The plan seems to be to have vignettes featuring over 20 different characters, rather than one or two main characters, and I doubt all 20 stories will have as much smoking focus as this one. That said, if even a few of them do, that'd be great.
The second title is Unlimited Pleasure, and it is a hot mess. It features buggy, grindy, unfun gameplay paired with a story that is only occasionally coherent, and told in English that is spotty at best. It's also one of those games where I can't decide if the dev has the fetish or not. Some of the images have to have been made by a fetishist, but script betrays no sign of thinking cigarettes are sexy. In fact, the only time smoking really comes up as a topic, it is MC berating a woman for smoking too much (even though he himself smokes). Anyway, it's immaterial, because no content would be worth dealing with this game's bullshit. But it did have some decent renders by Honey Select standards.
Very true dude. Motkeyz was a pioneer with Timestamps - Unconditional Love (Chapter 1) and Timestamps - Lost Love (Chapter 2). I was a Patreon early on, but somewhere along the way the dev team lost the ball and perhaps the passion for the game? Having said that, he is working on something new, so maybe we will see something great again??
Speaking of Motkeyz...well looks like another masterpiece may be unfolding with his new game Alternate Worlds. Just hope he can redeem himself with proper regular updates with this one, and surround himself with decent dev crew. Will keep a close eye on this one and see where it goes.
If you haven't yet, check out Lust Town by NOSY GULL. It's a female MC game with refreshing 2D art with a milf who live streams her life. And our milf smokes frequently. She is trying to quit in the beginning but as the game progresses, her smoking increases to the delight of all of us degenerates. Towards the end of the last update, she mentions having smoked more in that one night than the last 5 months.
Today I've got a couple of new games with some real potential (but that's all at the moment unfortunately), a few more games with some smoking content, and a few other tidbits you may or may not care about.
The game that has me most intrigued is Sickimtrack, which features three (3!) female smokers in its first release. Granted, there aren't many renders with the ladies smoking, and the script doesn't mention it at all. So expectations should probably be tempered. Still going to keep an eye on it, though.
The other game with potential, which arguably should have me even more intrigued, is Village Slut Transformation. Finally, a FemMC corruption game where smoking cigarettes is part of the corruption. Lily, the MC, has a friend, Naomi, who smokes in two scenes. In the second, she suggests Lily smoke too, and the player can opt in or out. What with it being Lily's first time, it doesn't go well. However, Lily does explicitly think to herself how sexy Naomi looks while smoking, and there is a variable tracking your decision, so I think this is going somewhere. The only reason I'm not higher on this game is that the general production quality is pretty mediocre, though it does seem to have improved as more updates are released. In particular, the scene where Lily tries smoking is pretty decently visualized.
Gynocracy is a female domination centered game with two smoking scenes. The main one is a human ashtray scene with a character named Lydia, the other has some side girls randomly smoking.
Tidbit 1: Redownloaded Bright Past recently. Still the same story* as when I reviewed it, but there's a few new smoking renders, including a brief but nice scene of the FemMC smoking while masturbating, so I thought I'd share those.
*It has a dynamic, interactive smoking addiction mechanic, and has smoking pinups, but ultimately no real content. It should be so, so much more than it is.
Tidbit 2 (TLDR: I'm confused by dev decisons): Also reloaded Desert Stalker with the new update, figuring I'd finally be able to put it to bed when it inevitably didn't have Fangs smoking again. Well, yes...and no. There's still just the two scenes with Fangs smoking, even as we've revisited the mutant compound twice. So it's obviously dropped, except that the dev also rerendered several renders early in the game. Including the renders where Fangs smokes. And she's still smoking. I'm still convinced we'll never see another scene with a woman smoking a cigarette in this game, but that just means I cannot fathom why the dev would spend resources rerendering Fangs smoking. Either just ignore it, or remove it in the new renders, since it apparently doesn't matter at fucking all.
Just wanted to thankyou for your detailed posts and taking the time to analyze what seems to be an ever diminishing pool of good smoking content over the last 12 months.
I for one really appreciate your work and wanted to says thanks and to wish you a great xmas. Oh, and here's to a lot more decent content next year...hopefully!
