Unity - Completed - Hack'n Stalk 2.0 [v1.0] [The Architect]

Reviewed at v.10

A remarkable improvement from the first in the series, this erotic little gem offers a range of legitimate choices and mostly appealing artwork. The erotic themes of this game are dark, but not mandated, allowing players to take more of a dating-sim approach if they prefer. However, shadier actions are strongly incentivized, and the earlier sex scenes are more accessible with that playstyle.

The artwork itself is almost never distracting, offering attractive models and animations that only fall apart on too close a scrutiny. The art never interrupted the story and that's about as good as it gets in this field.

The gameplay itself appears gripping at first because you have to make decisions with ambiguous long-reaching outcomes, but the more you become acquainted with the mechanics, the more you realize that there are only two kinds of choices: those which don't matter, and those which will restrict later sex scenes if you get them wrong. Additionally, the sex scene minigames have a tendency to distract you from the scene itself, and more often than not I found this to be a "two-handed" game. The tempo with these interactions was a little off, with so much time dedicated to low-brow minigames that a player in the throes of auto-erotica might find their enthusiasm waning before reaching the sexual content. In tandem with the aforementioned two-handedness of the game, this means you find yourself struggling to stay in the game until the sex scenes arrive, and then regrettably forced to use your hands for the game instead of for stimulation.

The story seems to bring it all together, though, as the characters are just believable enough for this type of game, and the setups and interactions are stimulating in a morally-grey fetish kind of way. The plot pleasantly avoids anything overly aggressive in this arena, which makes it a little more accessible for people looking to explore that kind of fantasy. I found the story interruptions for humor, breaking the 4th wall, and broadly unbelievable technobabble to be a drawback, but I sincerely doubt this will affect the experience for most users. In the end, I recommend this title, especially over its prequel and sequel in the series, and actually went back to play it multiple times.

The most redeeming factor of the game is two things which is the inclusion of Mrs. Miller and the fact that this game is completed.

However it should be known that although the game is lacking a solid story. The character models are clunky and expressionless during most of the scenes.

And the sex scenes are stuffed with mini games.

And the two others girls in the game are uncomfortably young. The PC only reinforces that age gap.

Not worth keeping on your hard drive but worth a try.

One of the best games I've played so far. Excellent storytelling (characters have a real personality and you actually feel emotionally attached to them while playing the game, which many games on this website lack), interesting and unusual setting, choices have actual consequences and impact how the game will end, great sex scenes - what else could one ask for? Fantastic work.

It's a great game. Girls have amazing body and each one has unique personality. Also story isn't bad. And the best part is sex scenes. They are animated really good and have multiple choices most of the time. The game deserves a lot more than it has.

Art is good, story is good!

So it has nice porn, and is a nice game - so hey, a good porn game.

* Sound & music is good (not annoying)
* You have choices with consequences.
* The UI was OK, felt a bit clunky and there was some weirdness with the load/save screens from the main menu.
* Not too fond of the "engine", and would have liked the option for screenshots.

Thanks dev, well done! More please.

Honestly, I can't even put into words how amazing this game is. I would love to write a long review and praise the fuck out of this game but I really can't, so I'll just go over what's good because there's nothing bad.

It's an actual game.
It has an actual story.
It has actual characters.
It's actually a finished game.
It actually has endings.

Just make sure to play the good karma path if you're having a good week, otherwise you might get a little too overwhelmed and break.

Thanks, dev. You created an awesome game with an awesome story that happens to have porn in it.

This game is amazing. First and foremost, because it's an actual game with branching paths, multiple endings, and mini-games that don't simply force you to mash a button as fast as possible. Although, to be completely honest, I sometimes wish there was an option to turn some of the mini-games off as they do get in the way of the action sometimes.

The story is that you are on a mission to sabotage the political campaign of a politician by ruining his family's good name. You are given some high tech gadgets and gizmos, and then you have to figure out how to get some scandalous footage. There's a karma system and some RPG style character statistics that will change with the choices you make during the game. Your potential targets have affection and corruption levels that will increase depending on your choices. Your personal statistics and relationship status with the characters will unlock different paths for your character to take.

The game isn't very long, which is something I'd actually consider a perk because it makes it easier to replay and make different choices. Which is something you will likely want to do. The game doesn't take itself too seriously, and there are some silly aspects to it, but there are also some pretty emotional and heartfelt moments in there as well.

If you have not played a Hack'n Stalk game before, it is a classic "adventure" type game. So think Telltale series, but... you know... for porn. It is essentially a story with a wide variety of endings and you have to hit certain levels to make different events trigger.

While I am partial to these types of games, without hesitation I will say this is my favorite completed game on F95Zone. It really does not get any better then this.

The writing is solid, story is solid and the girls are amazing. Seriously... it is complete with lens flare, subtle model motions, corruption, love and great sex scenes. You can tell the developer put a lot of work into it and it paid off.

If you liked HS1 then you are going to love this one.

Thanks for a great game!

well after HnS 1, this certainly did not disappoint. great game. good story. multiple paths. every choice matters. and if you are a noob like me and don't do much well in mini-games, there is a story mode. but it does take away part of the fun and thrill of the game. really an amazing game. recommended to anyone!

Well, this game is good for its gameplay and plot. But I feel myself attracted by recovering the good sides of female characters and (not so strangely) I feel like I’m in love with these girls. And that’s a good part of any game.

Good design of characters. Nice set of choices. Thanks a lot.

Very good game
- Good plot.
- Good CGS
- Good tempo
- No bugs
- Very good handle of decisions
- Good mini games, I prefer the ones that are not in sex-scenes. Also the difficulty is good not impossible, but no super easy
- Really completed

I enjoyed playing this game , it has a fun theme and the way to get to do stuff is fun. It offers choice about how to go with each character , so you can be romantic or naughty whatever rocks your fancy. There are benefits to playing both ways, and i recommend to explore them each. Characters are fun and engaging , it's a fun little story , renders are good enough. All in all i recommend it as a fun play well worth your time.

This game is really great. Very very well done.
Some of the sex scenes lack a little bit of quality compared to the rest of them. And for my taste there could be a little bit more sexual coercion. But that it is complaining at a very high level and my personal taste.

Awesome game, especially the H-Scenes, which "play" as timing mini-games. Really unique mechanic. The renders are cute. The choices are meaningful. 5/5 stars.

I can't wait to see what this developer comes up with next.

This was a great experience, loved the point and click type of games and the timed elements where a cool twist. The story is good enough to have you invested in you actions and looking for you end game goals. There is enough variation and paths so it has good replay-ability.

The variation in girls is nice and there is enough naughty stuff to keep me going while there are plenty of twists and turns that get you focused on the progress of the game.

At the amazing price of *Free* for a full game you simply have to pick it up and play and at ~200MB the quality of the renders is fantastic. Thumbs up to The Architect.

I liked the general premise and execution of this game. While it has minigames, they are not overly punishing and have direct story interactions. It also has a money system, but it's not overbearing and grindy. You get paid for doing what you would do anyway to move the story forward. The art is passable. I wouldn't say it's great. The animations are pretty bad. They have that thing where the body parts swing weirdly from the joints, it's pretty distracting. Overall, it's pretty short, but enjoyable.

A quality game buried under a morass of buggy/poorer titles.

Gameplay is great except for the whole falling-dicks thing, which really gets annoying over time. It seems to be devised to counteract any delight you might get from the sex scene

But with a quality story, simple and well designed game-play, and decent dialogue, it could be much much worse.
also- I think its rather fabulous that the bitchy girl actually LOOKS bitch.

Good Job.

The story is straightforward with the usual twists and has a replayability just to get at all the endings. The feature of this game is actually the mini games, IMO this game was created with the mini games in mind and the story revolved around it. The roller coaster ride of the story with the surprisingly good mini games will gave you loads of fun even tho it is quite a bit short. Overall a good download and time investment to those who share the same depraved craving of doing something like this IRL---a good substitute than actually committing a crime.

This is one of the best VN/strategy game I have ever played so far.

PRO (✔):
Fantastic CGs ✔, Good dialog ✔, Good plot ✔, No bug ✔, Challenge (especially, when you play a non-save difficulty) ✔, Humors (for me) and references are god tier ✔, and The gameplay is simple to understand ✔.
<< Note: There are more pros, but these are all the pros I can come up right now. >>

CON (❌):
CGs characters' boobs aren't that impress (I wish those boobs are larger) ❌, Saving system is a little bit cancer [less slots (well kinda get the point of this, since it will increase the playthrough hours for those who tend to make a wrong choice during playthrough) ❌, The unlock screen on the phone takes too long ❌, Not that many locations to explore ❌, Hints are a little bit obvious ❌, and mini games aren't that challenge (but I can assure that mini games are creative) ❌.

Sorry for bad grammar and misspell.

Anyways, I wish I can support you through Patreon, but hey! I am just a poor f*cker.

Keep up the good work

Having just joined this forum and find these types of games, I've dabbled and explored a couple dozen games so far and have been disappointed by pointless grinding or unattractive / generic / oversized models in many of those games. This developer manages to use great mini-games and solid character design to build an engaging game! Look forward to future games
