Ren'Py - Life as an Innocent Waitress [v0.1.0] [Frisson Studios]

You thought HS2 graphic is outdate, right.
I don't even think about this game for a bit, especially for 0.1 version.
And after somehow try it, that's exact thing I want from a molest - corruption kind of game.
He try to combine all those good thing from *all those good games* we know and make it unique. And it work, hope your game find success.

Excellent game, to the point I had to fund it cause I get scared that it will get abandoned like much of these types of games do. its so rare for these type of games to exist nowadays. hopefully the creator keeps at is and not abandon it like other have with this type of game direction

Since I played this game, I can't play anything else. I got addicted to the visuals, the story and especially the gameplay. You have done an outstanding first release.
If you keep up this work, your about to create a masterpiece.

It's literally a game that's close to perfection in my opinion. I loved the story. There aren't many games of this quality in the genre of trying to make money and working as a waitress. Please continue to develop this game. You can add different events to the story without rushing. For example, if I think we're going to college, maybe you can enrich the story with some nice events and developments there or different events at work. Keep it up bro <3

This is great! I just made an account to post this review, a lot of potential here, really looking forward to next updates! The gameplay is connected with the ero scenes, the slow corruption, the options this game gives you... It's just a perfect beginning, good luck to the dev!

Cool focus waitress game, hope to see frequent update as there is still minor content atm. some events but still early in developmment so don't expect much
Maybe too many relationship at home rn.
Chores seems boring tho

Life as an Innocent Waitress is a sandbox game based around the life of Angelina, a poor, innocent, and a maiden in a dystopian world full of pervs.

TLDR; The game sets the bar exceedingly high when it comes to content for the initial release of a game. A must try for sure!

The gameplay loop consists of going to college, cleaning around the house, travelling inside a train, working at the bar, and returning home again.

Since it's the very first release, I won't go too deep into the game itself, but I'd like to point out some things that could be improved or signs of concern or predictions if you will.

► The college serves no purpose yet. It's merely a dialogue. There is no introduction to the college, and the MC simply starts attending the classes from day one.

Even if there aren't any plans to implement it, there should be some repeatable events that occur with Angel. Stuff like Bullies that harass Angel, grope and finger her, etc. Stuff like catcallers that harass Angel because she's beautiful and they want her number. Stuff like Perverts that capture and sell images of Angel and increase the chances of getting harassed at the college.


► Train molestation is amazing, but it needs some more variety. For instance, some molesters only target her breasts and focuses on upper part of her body. Some early ones could include light petting where the pervert isn't focused on undressing her but enjoying her body through her clothes. Some molesters could be borderline rapists that don't care about Angels' protests and undress her completely without asking.


► Angel should protest a molester's fingering since she's a virgin... or at least the beginning when she isn't as corrupted. The perverts should always acknowledge her hymen and her being a virgin... this leads to smack talk, and it also increases the chances that the pervert would want to take her virginity right there. Angel should also have a lot more internal thoughts about her virginity and hymen and saving her first time.

► The introduction outfit was perfect and 10/10. Sadly, it got swapped for painfully generic clothes that we've seen countless times over in other games. There is a lore reason for this, being summertime, but that intro outfit is certainly one of the hottest ones I've seen and needs to return at some point.

►Lastly, a major worry of mine—Censorship.

Frission Studios is based on Patreon, and that platform is known to force censorship amongst adult developers. Sadly, the dev has accepted that there will not be any non-consensual encounters, blackmail, rape, or any sort of sexual harassment in the game. It was very disappointing to hear... and I hope it doesn't get any worse.

Overall, I highly recommend checking LaaIW out.

Outstanding so far, extremely hot, less distracting fluff/style compared to another major bar girl game keeping the focus on sexy. Maybe a couple too many 'housemates', but that's not yet developed much so we'll see. Definitely feels like it could be pretty slow corruption, though I wish a couple of the metrics were a bit clearer. But anyway, five stars so far, really hope this game goes all the way.

Very good game, especially considering the amount of content available right from the early stages of development.

Honestly, I don't have much to complain about—maybe the mini-game where you have to clean the house could use some improvement. Overall, it's a good game.

Best of luck to the developer!

HUGE debut. Really one of the most fleshed-out, robust v.1's I've ever seen on the site. As a rule I don't try v.1's of a game but I'm glad I broke that rule this time.

PROs
Corruption mechanic
Lots of venues to explore (home/train/work/online) would love to see school too!
Lots of cute voyeuristic touches. Panty peeks, etc. I LOVE little touches like that.

CONs
Personally, not a fan of the Honey Select aesthetic. IMHO it looks more apropos to Silent Hill than to a fun sex game..
Some events get very tedious and grindy without any apparent reward (house cleaning, sitting with the customers)

SUGGESTIONS
Add backstops or "Under Construction" when the player fully explores a branch or mechanic.

Hard to see patrons in their seats (birds eye view) so just a little graphic contrast would help.

Add one more female to the game, just to season her corruption. A rival waitress that sabotages her, the landlord's curious daughter or jealous wife that loves to prank and tease our MC.

The online story and the waitressing story intersecting. Maybe she eventually gets the ability to livestream her shift, so sub will try to bribe her to bend over in front of customers, work with no panties on, sit on customers' laps, etc.

The comparison to Corruptions Town (which I also love) is warranted, so look for ways to differentiate your game.

More outifts, of course! Gotta spend all this money on something!

Absolutely fantastic first release of a game. You have seriously shown more promise in a 0.1 than others have in years of "development". Truly, what an entry! I agree with the others in not getting bogged down by open world etc. Focus on adding to the existing formula with additional scenes and cutins and you have cracked the code right here.

As far as caps go, I did certainly try to go as far as possible, and think the following is the limit, correct me if I'm wrong:
- Exhib - can remove up to underwear, anything further and she redresses
- Harassment - I only ever got breasts and butt, I don't think there is any harassment for mouth, pussy or extended beyond light touches unless I completely missed it or bugged out, I did see a dream for mouth harassment but they never did it.
- Drinking harassment - thigh touches and she touches their thighs, nothing further
- Subway - Shorts dropped and fondled down there until she cums, but she never returns the favor in any way.
- Shower and rest of house scenes have a very clear "more coming soon" so no need for those. As for sleeping, stripped topless and being bukkaked by the housemate is the furthest I saw.

Again, THIS ^ is from a 0.1. And nothing bugged out for my entire playthrough, legendary.

Great game
I liked the AI photo stuff.
The bar stuff is good but it gets a little repetitive.
The stats is not that clear what they do so could be more clear.
The dreams where you agree to something (showing underwear is ok) I also liked.
There was some clothing "bugs", pictures shown with wrong clothing.
Hope to see more!

Its like you took my favourite part of Third crisis and made it into a whole game. I love it. Just wish the cleaning mini game was a bit shorter or more interesting. As t feels tedious to do every single day.

Really good take on the "naive girl in lecherous town" trope. Story is simple and light but well written, same with MC, good renders and I personally like the gameplay loop (although It needs to be balanced). I'm really interested in the future updates.

Really good game, can't wait for the next update. The heroine is cute and likable, which makes you want to protect / corrupt her, depending on your preference.

Currently, there isn't a lot of variety in the bar scenes, so I can't wait for the dev to add more. More interactions with the house members would be nice, but we know that's coming.

Overall, a really solid first impression. Can't wait for the dev to cook up some more!

Life as an Innocent Waitress is exactly the game you think it is. Cute girl living in a world of pervs is sexually harassed by literally everyone alive.

If that's what you're looking for, it does it well. The bar minigame is reasonably entertaining, the events are hot, the girl looks great, and each step down the road to hell seems paved by necessity. It's definitely well executed.

There are downsides though. You definitely have to believe the devs when they say grind is a feature, not a bug. While trying to play the good girl, I found the most corruptive influence to be boredom, as I kept pushing the girl just because I desperately wanted to see something, ANYTHING new. Five instances of the maid minigame is too damn much a day, especially when a single failure fails the event for the whole week. Save scumming is also a feature, not a bug.

It also sucks that basically every character in the game is awful except the protagonist. The world is just filled with unfuckable losers. The game really needs a win condition, whether that's an attractive guy for the waitress to snag (with or without money) or simply a path out of slowly losing all self respect simply to stay off the street (or worse lol). Corruption works better when there's a reason not to be corrupt.

Balance could use a bit of tweaking, but I'm willing to let it slide so early on. I managed the first payment while keeping most of her clothes on, but things are looking dicey moving towards payments two and three without progression for the cam site.

Overall, I'll keep an eye on it going forward. Life isn't perfect as an innocent waitress, but further patches should really improve the game.

What this game does very well (for the first version) is focus on specific elements of corruption and add lots of details that make it immersive. There is already plenty that can be added to the existing system of MC's reactions, clothing, choices and surrounding characters. Rather than expecting every single game should be a sandbox (silly notion), it's good the developer is not trying to create one. As long as there are consequences to the MC's choices (and this can be refined as the game is developed), there is something good here. Looking forward to next versions.

Genuinely one of the best adult games I've played in a long time. The waitress mechanic is basically perfect, the groping on the train is well thought out, and the choices are immense. If the development continues at a steady pace, this could be up there with the greats like Karryns Prison!

Fairly overrated in my view. The core gameplay loop and premise are solid enough but VERY generic. You have played all these different elements before. One of a million games about a hyper innocent but impossibly beautiful girl with no real awareness of her situation plunged into a highly contrived scenario that forces her to become gradually corrupted.

In that niche it is competant but not great. The main girl looks pretty enough but the style isn't ultra to my taste. HS graphics are nice because they allow devs to make more content faster than Daz, but visually it suffers a bit imo. Sadly there isn't THAT much content or variety yet. The game is new, sure. It will come.

The gameplay is inoffensive, but repetitive and slow. It is dinner dash if 60% of the complexity and 90% of the difficulty was removed. With a very tedious clicking minigame for the maid content jammed in that you have to do about 1,000 times.

This has been very negative I know. I was simply bored by this game but I can recognise the competance on display. That girl is pretty and not grating like some of her peers. If the game did ANYTHING original or weird or unique it would be a 3. As is, 2 seems fair.

Very early days, no sex yet but a reasonable gameplay loop so far. Looking forward to more story content but good effort!

Grind can be slightly reduced, or some more scenes can be added to cleaning mini game, because TBH it's the most pointless part rn
