Ren'Py - Hey Phil [2025-09-22] [GFC Studio]

The dev made this game to be grindy as fuck on purpose and it shows. Just by walking from one room to another Phill lose 1 energy point and when he sleeps he doesnt recharge the energy loss, it will remain in the same amount it was the last night, but if you have less than 15 energy points, it will recharge only until 15, if you want to recharge more, you have to buy bananas, that cost $9 and recharge like 20 energy points, that doesnt help when the money is tight and he lose it just by breathing. You dont have anything to pass time, I had to take a shower or use the toilet to do it. The world looks really empty. I didnt wanted to play more because just the start of the game made me feel stressed and hate this developer.

v0.4
+nice art
-extremely grindy.
-extremely buggy. some plots are broken. lots of missing english translations. infinite mugging loop if you leave him at night.
-extremely empty. lots of places are completely empty and cannot be interacted with. lots of time skipping.
-nonsensical porn story
-bad engrish

the game has a great art, all the girls look really good, but of course, the game has a few bugs that interrupt the progression, it lacks some animations but it promising alot
the other bad thing i beleave the game has is the grind the money, you recive a little per day and you need alot but i can understand that
good game, i hope the dev/devs can improve it

Paywalled, buggy, terrible Engrish, very nice art, loads and loads of grind. All you need to know, really.

Story is pretty awful to, besides the Engrish. Worth a punt for the art if you have absolutely nothing better to do.

Version: Hey Phil [2025-04-26]

As of today you can double click the money icon for free money. If the dev EVER removes a money cheat, this game goes to 2 stars immediately. I don't care if the economy is better balanced (it's HORRIBLE today), any adult/porn game with an economy needs economy cheats or the most it will get from me is two stars.

This said, the game is good - dialog leaves something to be desired for English speakers (it's serviceable but certainly not good). Where this game shines is the art and the corruption theming. I wouldn't even call it great corruption, to be honest, but it's good and the art is great.

Seriously, this game is balancing on a hair pin. The art and gameplay and dialog are NOT good enough to warrant a ballache gameplay experience. If the dev ever creates this (ie by removing money cheats or whatever), it will tank my opinion of this game. It's great today, but one tiny mistep and this will end up in the trash. The dev should consider enhancing the English dialog if they want a better foundation for their game to rest on (this is a visual novel mostly so not much to be done with gameplay), art alone is not enough. That said, better animations would definitely help out in the art department.

v0.4
Super short, pretty good. I couldn't find the extra girls besides the redhead mom and Dora, but still enjoyed my time. A few "engrish" misspells but they kinda gave it a special charm and they made me chuckle a couple times, I'd say keep them but if some are too bad then you might have to fix 'em. There's something about the art-style that it totally grabs my attention.
Nice job overall, stay on that roll.

Review of the v.3 Super Fan Edition

Ever since I played the earlier version of this game, the update has been one of my most anticipated game since. So much so, I made a Patreon account and gave 20 bucks to become a (temporary) supporter.

The most appealing feature about this game is probably the art style, which somehow adapts rather sexless character designs into gorgeous versions of these characters. This is the only game I've seen where a character with a unibrow is a star character and it works. The 'old man fucking young girls' aspect also helps distinguish the character from other VAs too. As for the specific girls;

1. Lila: Super cute red head whose content is mostly complete. The new update added new animations to an already great collection of sex scenes. You corrupt her from an innocent gal into a whore.
2. Cecile: The new character, French. Only has one scene so far (blowjob), but its already great. Again, super cute.
3. Olga: The blond girl on the banner. Super sexy and you can see her naked, but no sex scenes yet
4. Helga: The top three girls are the major draws so far, but Helga is interwoven into the story in a super sexy manner as well and I can't wait for grandpa to cuck his grandson.

Future Polish

There are a lot of weird spelling mistakes (spelling cum, 'CAM') and the script could do with a few more reworks to make it more engaging. Some boxes appear blank and what I presume to be a quest directory doesn't seem to work.

Super Fan Content

There doesn't seem to be much information here on the Super Fan bonus content so I'd thought I'd go into greater detail here. These scenes are usually pretty brief, not integrated with the rest of the content and I like that so far, all the characters are from other North American Saturday morning cartoons.

1. Dora: Super cute version of the character, with some nice animations, but no sex scenes yet
2. Katara: Cute art and a full sex scene.. The devs are promising future Toph content.
3. X-J9: She looks a little off in this art style, though her human form is much cuter. Blowjobs, no sex scenes
4. Mrs. Neutron: The content that clicked with me the least. I've watched more Jimmy Neutron than Hey Arnold and I've never found this character sexy

What's there is promising, the game loop is pretty generic and grindy, but if you like the concept and the art, it delivers.

The only issue right now is there just isn't a lot in the game yet. Which isn't so surprising for v0.2.

You can bang the redhead, but you can't get a single real scene with the blondie just yet (the framework is there though, looks like you will be able to next update)

Solid game, fine art that emulates the source well, pacing is good, setting/plot is believable for the world, good amount of content for the amount of time it's been out. The only gripe I have with it is that it's apparent the dev is not an english speaker so the dialouge seems stiff. Otherwise quality stuff keep it up.

Great content so far

Only one real minus for me personally; not all characters have animations, which is a bummer as an avid animation enjoyer, however the still renders and the "build up" did a more than good enough job.

This paragraph is for the non sandbox/grind enjoyers: I think overall it has a solid balance, you don't have to grind endlessly to progress. If you are lacking points for certain activities, the game tells you the requirement(s). I'm not a fan of grind mechanics like this usually, but this one was done in a proper, balanced manner. It's a very standard and straight forward type of grind, so don't expect anything mind blowing, however I can reassure you it isn't a grind game that makes you want to stab your own eyes in rage because it's either too complicated or drags out for far too long Regarding the sandbox aspect, it takes like a minute to get used to the map layout, it's very intuitive and easy to maneuver around.

One of the best games with so many potential, i wanna see whats coming patch to patch. The art its spectacular and thegameplay is fun.

I would like to see a little bit of character development or more history with so many tease and sex scenes in the next updates

This is a very ceative game. The design and UI are fantastic so quality work. Animations are so beautiful too such as the girls in the game. Story is decent and sandbox part of the game is working really comfortable for me.

Leaving a 5 star review based on what I've seen on this first release. Shows huge potential. The artwork here is so amazing that it made Hey Arnold characters look actually good(the artist is very talented!), and the trainer/corruption aspect, of the very little I've seen so far was spot on. Can't wait for the next update!

Nice eroge so far.

Wish wasn't so empty but it's expected from a 0.1 release, bookmarking it.

Currently it is really good so far and i'm really liking the whole artstyle which is consistent with the show that is based off (something important on parody porn games) meanwhile looking sexy enough to play it.

This review is for version 0.1
The game has excellent art, but that's the only notable thing so far. The current gameplay loop is just a mindless grind with nothing to interact with. The story says we're supposed to rent rooms out to girls to earn cash, but currently they don't actually pay rent. This means the only way to earn cash is by harassing the Jolly Olly man, who pays out roughly 30$ per afternoon. It takes 500$ just to open your first room, and then you have to spend roughly 250$ convincing Lila (the only girl in this version) to stay there. So in total you have to cycle through about 25 days just clicking on the Jolly Olly truck before you get to the actual plot of the game. And after all that grinding, the most you get is some kissing and stripping... that you have to pay 30$ per session, meaning even more pointless grinding.

I genuinely hope this game improves because I like the art a lot, but this current version is boring as hell.
