Ren'Py - Photo Hunt [v0.17.1 Extra] [Moochie]

If you're into voyeurism and sharing or stories that take an insane amount of time to get to real sex, this might be for you. If not, I can't imagine how anyone could enjoy this, the rating seems crazy to me. The renders might actually deserve four stars, and the first two hours of the game are alright, but the problems just keep piling up.

Sandbox
Like in 90% of all Sandbox games, the sandbox adds absolutely nothing while wasting your time. There is no freedom, barriers make sure you have to advance most girls. All the best ofs of sandbox are here: The point where all events are on a weekend afternoon, the story continuity errors, the "do this two times on a Saturday morning, then give the correct answer on the following Saturday evening".

Blue balls, oh holy fucking blue balls
The ratio of actually exciting sex scenes to fluff is infuriating. The titular photo shoots are absolutely endless and it feels like you're back in pre-internet times and looking at lingerie catalogues when you actually want to see people fucking. There are literal hours of photo shoots and voyeurism mixed with a few hand- and blowjobs which after a ridiculous long time culminate in rather boring sex scenes. Even on the non-sharing route everyone else seems to get more action than MC and you'll get to enjoy girls getting cummed on by MC's dad before you have a chance with them.

Shy and innocent girls with major virgin vibes that lead MC on for weeks without anything happening except photo shoots will turn out to not be virgins once things start getting sexual. You can of course always choose the even sluttier, mutually exclusive sister.

The main virgin LI deflowers herself on the seemingly sleeping MC. Made it into my top ten of most boring and underwhelming sex scenes of all times.

For some reason MC gets with an emotionally damaged femdom slut who blows teachers for better grades and makes her his "pet". He then proceeds to develop the sexual side of their relationship at the speed of a snail which can't decide which way to go.

The only good thing I can say about the lewd scenes is that there's lots of cumplay and the cum looks ok.

Story
Stereotypical conspiracy story with some mystery elements. The bad guys are laughable and the way MC is associated with the story is very clumsy. I stopped paying attention pretty soon.

MC
Do you like being a dwarf who always tells girls what they like to hear? Cause that's what you're going to be. MC is shorter than almost all girls and just as skinny as some of them. Consequently he gets physically humiliated or even roughed up by girls constantly. This is independent from the strength stat you can raise through training. So the situation is like this: Due to your high strength you get the option to show off and let's say beat up two dudes without breaking a sweat (even so you still look as small and weak as ever). In the next situation there will be no options and a girl will just manhandle you like you were a little kid.
Oh, and while he does have a porn-boosted cock size, everyone else is still bigger than him.

Choices are an illusion in the sense that there are answers that will net you points and others that won't. The ones that will net points are always the ones where you just agree with everything the girl wants to hear, even if it is a blatant lie.

Alcoholism
MC's mother has an alcohol problem that MC isn't happy about, but he doesn't do much about it either. Personally, I find the alcoholism to be off-putting.

Annoying pseudo-morals
MC, who takes voyeuristic photos and molests and rapes sleeping girls on the regular, tells us that fat shaming is bad and apparently should be reason enough to lose your job. No, that's not sarcasm.

The positive
The renders look good. Girls have different, mostly interesting personalities. There's lots of cum(play).

many different girls, the game looks great and the sorylines are not boring.
i dont hate sandbox games but im also not a fan of them. most sandbox games are buggy as fuck and photo hunt shows how its done properly.
also the game is funny, sad, sometimes shocking and damn kinky.
if you want to hook up a friend with porn games, this one will do it.

Good Conept and visuals,however the story is progressing with a slow pace.Also there is need to explore more alternative storylines and new characters.The star character Evelyn is hopelessly addicted to sex, but is divided between his separated husband and other temptations and has a naughty mind too.The MC needs to be more proactive in getting Evelyns attentions.Also more areas needs to unlocked in the story

Very good thr graphics, deep stories connected between, seems Big Brother but has an interesting development.
The plot is alittle bit intricted but really nice
suggested for al the players thet like other incest game.

Let me tell you guys i have played alot of these games but nothing compares to this...OMG the emotions the MC and the women go thru are stunning and you can feel it and you can see it on there faces ....even the music changes to fit the moment sad.happy.joy.passion.anger its like reading a novel with a soundtrack.The women even has no makeup on when they dont need to...it is the small details like that that makes the game amazing .

The only thing holding it back is that the stories are not completed for any of the women so it feels like reading a book half way you loose that sense of completion they just need to finish some main stories..

I don't understand how so many games can have such a high score on this site while being mediocre or poor in quality. I would mention another game like that but I got in trouble before so I can't cause it's against the rules (even though I really want to). This game looks very good based on the screenshots. This is why I gave it a 2 instead of a 1 because the model quality is high, but guys, high-def models aren't everything.

The first red flag in this game is that the protagonist doesn't have a single line of dialogue with someone until he meets a random side character. Multiple characters will talk to him, but he'll have an inner dialogue with himself in response. I actually thought the MC was mute. The next red flag is that this guy gets caught taking photos in a girl's locker room, and basically gets a slap on the wrist which his sister (I think it was his sister) points out but nothing comes of it. Writers remember, just because you point out something dumb about your writing in your story, doesn't make it smart.

Then a "ruffian" comes to his house to extort him for money, and he's nonchalantly sitting on the steps. Maybe most of you guys have never been in that sort of situation irl, but even the toughest man will be on edge if a criminal broke into his house and extorted him. The MC was calm because the author knew he wouldn't be harmed in that scene, which bled into the MC's behavior, which is another writing flaw.

Maybe if you skip the dialogue and focus on the action, it would be good. But to those that care about the story above all, there are better ones out there.

Really great game so far. Great character design, already a lot of content, great writing, good humor and a good story. Quite unique characters and great H-scenes.
Just need more eve corruption content

Played for high rating and thats gone really bad for me man what the hell is this ? like Self insert ? or some really edgy MC fantasy like WTF.

So MC edge is sharper than razor or even Drukari from W40K wtf hell is happening here he does most dumbest things without thinking and ruins story for me other than ART OR GRAPHİCS this is bad really bad i dont even udnerstand that why 4.5 star for this while many good games hardly gets 4 star this one gets 4.5 and when you see that you think this is good yet its not This is classic MC fucks everybody without reason thats it nothing more and yeah MC same as everyone other Uni games even same hair cut.

So this is not bad dont get me wrong but its same and plus to that MC is moron and makes this game annoying if not for MC this game easy 4 star for me with sex scenes and good Graphics other than that meh.

Its a really fun game but I'd really like to just be able to download it now and stop having to go through miles and miles of red tape seemingly I'm not sure how many words I'm going to have to put in to get to 200 characters so I will say that my favorite character is Lena and Jennifer is a close second I also like long walks on the beach and blue skies

Was a bit skeptical with the face aesthetics but boy was I wrong and I didn't have to worry about it! Interesting and unique characters along with the sandbox playstyle gives the game an awesome experience! I love the fact that on-top of the sandbox you can actually also choose between 2 paths for each main girl(love/corruption) at some point! The visuals are top-noch without a doubt and the writing is substantial, I think the only thing that actually needs a little improvement is the sound as in many cases it just doesn't suit what you are watching and reading but it is a minor downside.
I would definetly recommend this game to anyone who likes sandbox games!

First of all, this is my first 5-star rating with mixed feelings. I had a good time despite having huge issues with this game. Yeah, it is complicated but I can't justify rating it lower than 5 nonetheless.

This game is a dating sim novel with freeroam/nonlinear elements made in Renpy. Contentwise it is enormous, a playthrough takes more than 15 hours and you have to play it again for all the content. Caveat: There are stats and money barricade to grind for certain checks and actions which may get tedious and repetitive to gain, so this takes up the huge chunk of gameplay. There is no overarching plot or story. There are 7-8 main LIs with their own subplots, which the player can choose to advance at will. Each subplot includes more characters/flings. The player has two options to shape their relationship and/or LIs future. It mainly differs in morality: a blue good-guy/moralistic or a red scumbag/opportunist option. These branch the subplots heavily. A bravo to the dev for the ambition and effort.

Good:
-Pristine and mesmerizing renders and graphics. Really one of the best in art style, lighting etc. Never boring to look at.
-Polished and AA UI. The game feels like built on a good budget.
-Satisfying animations. Consist of loops with varying speeds. Could be better though.
-Girls are goddesses. Each one is meticulously crafted (no boring preset girls that we see over and over). No bimbo fetish shit either, I'm talking idealistic beauty.
-Girls are different in character and personality. Each one is rather cold to MC and take time to warm up to him. Almost everyone is TSUNDERE to him but there are a few other DEREs sprinkled for variety too. They may seem shallow and stereotypical at first but as subplots progress their characters develop more and more and the relationship becomes pure original. Bravo to dev on this one too.
-Kink and fetish variety. Mainly ..cest and voyeurism but red paths include more.
-Fluid dialogue writing.
-A lot of big choices.

Bad:
-FUFU
-Dev is obsessed with dyed hair. 4-5 of the girls have purple-green hair (purple eyes on some too) WTF?
-Sound is bland as visuals are good. Can't unsee the contrast on this one. Doesn't come close to visual quality by an inch. Soundtrack doesn't catch the mood. Muted and played with my own songs. No SFX, lewd or otherwise. Heavily affects fappability.
-The prologue and setting is so bad. Dev has to revisit this no doubt. Nothing makes sense. Lowers my opinion of MC at the start. I even thought of giving up playing in first 5 minutes. It was badly made up to set up starting relationships of MC as mainly Tsundere as a creep/pervert. Dev can do better to achieve the same.
-All of the game is mostly about mending the reputation of MC in eyes of LIs by helping them but the game somehow encourages and makes it somewhat compulsory to engage voyeurism and molestation kinks and to sell pictures to strangers in school in either path. I don't get it. These kinks should also be optional, may be tied to red moral path.
-MC's character is a bit bland compared to the girls. I feel like deceiving the girls for trying to clear MC's name even with good guy choices. He doesn't feel like an unlucky guy found himself in a wrong place in a wrong time but really a pervert trying to cover its tracks either way.
-Grind is a vital part of the gameplay. As player consumes content left and right and more locations open, player can feel overwhelmed and lost. I couldn't advance the paths by myself after a while. There are walkthroughs in game tied to in game money to unlock (so more grind) to solve this issue. I am dubious if it is a good design choice, although this is a common problem in most freeroam/nonlinear games.

Conclusion: Even though I pointed out various issues, it is still a good game to play and I would not let myself to rate this effort and beauty lower than 5. But this is a 5 out of respect, not for impeccable excellence.

Well among sandbox games this is my favorite, relation between MC and Evelyn very unique on its type.
Other girls also designed very charmingly, there is plenty of content for each one , then after certain point intersection of love or corruption coming.
Side characters also very intriguing ,it's crazy how good they are developed.
I like artwork on Photo Hunt so much , also dialogues are well-written and sometimes comical which is very enjoyable.
Also at some point game giving player the option to choose with different knowledge base which is very cool.
Overall Photo Hunt is a great experience ,Thank you very much Moochie.

This game have the best mother son incest relationship. I really love this game so much and i can see Romance between mom and son including hugging, kissing. They are so close each other like real life and Characters Developed between them is perfect. For me This game is the Top 1 mother son incest game and Top 2 is Monkey Business game. Thanks you Developer for this amazing game

one of the best games out there,
really beautiful how moochie has improved with the renders and images,
and very good how the different stories evolve.

and i can 't name single girl who doesn't look gorgeous,
our cute little sister rachel,the beautiful fiery fiona,
our childhood friend jennifer ,the beautiful asian twins,
so i can name them all,because they are all beauties.

really moochie,
you are doing a fantastic job,keep it up,
and it will be a masterpiece of a game in the end !!

This was a hard game to rate. At times it is pretty good, the mechanics work pretty well and there is reasonable variety. The art is pretty good too. The problems arise around how often the game forces lesbians or other things onto the main Lis. The story such as it is works well enough but the constant attempts by the dev to introduce ntr really gets irritating. The game is supposed to offer choices but so often the choices aren't there as lesbians do the stupidest things to your main LIs and there is nothing you can do. The action with Evelyn is well developed until some bizarre thing happens and the whole thing goes out the window. Parts of the game are well done actually as the story sometimes has a little more realistic limit. It's easy to forget the bad points of this game until the dev decided to throw everything out the window. I think this game kind of proves the point that either go full ntr or actually give the player a choice. The main Li doesn't really have any consistent character which really kills the story and any kind of love route becomes pointless. The path is a pretty long one as the Lis and the Mc get more comfortable with each other. It works pretty good but again suddenly your Li will start something with another woman like it's just the norm. I think the story and progression become kind of pointless after that.

It's almost like different people wrote the script and then they just threw it together. I never made it to home base with the Mom because suddenly the MC is pushing her into porn. Why have a love route only to do stupid things like this? There is a choice when it comes to some things like the daughters boyfriend which is good but they kind of make it moot if Evelyn does porn "to pay the bills". I'm not sure this is a must as it was started by talking to the main Li during the day. It doesn't really matter though as the dev loves FF so it happens fairly regularly and Evelyn doesn't really seem to mind that a salesgirl comes up and sniffs her pussy and then molests her. Even if the player avoids the male ntr there is still a lot of FF you can't avoid so really it amounts to the same thing for me.

The mechanics of the game are decent though for a sandbox type game. There are random interactions with the characters as you move around which I thought were mostly pretty good. However again characters progression is linked to other characters who you might not be interested in. Those characters usually have some kind of eye on your love interests so you can't progress with your main choice without triggering a second character to do stuff you won't like. I still give the game a three for the times it was pretty good but unless you like ntr/ff you probably won't like this game.

A game from the top of the list for me.
In brief - good models, good writing and a decent story.
Different girl characters and also the mechanics of selecting a path that, in some cases, significantly changes the character of the girl.
Cross dependency when different character stories depend on each other.
You should keep in mind that all the stories are not over yet and in some cases you wont get to the action (previous reviewer was stressed by Grace story).
This is a definitely must play if you are ok with the mentioned tags.

I have got mixed feelings about this game. Writing is good, story is mediocre (nothing original about it). I liked relationship built-ups. But let me tell you this. I almost quitted and deleted this game after i reached my first end of content route. Yes, i started with Grace. Without having an actual sex after all those grinds and quests, content for da woman ended abrubdtly. Almost smashed the monitor, i took a break and started Fiona and thank fuck i did. My favorite type of girl. Lioness towards everyone but a kitty towards me. Quickly became my all time favorite girls ever.

I finished a full playthrough before i rated this game btw. I searched every event and even downloaded the walkthrough mod to not miss anything.

But i wanted to ask this question. What will happen in the future. All the main girls are really good but they dont seem to sharing kind. Which usually the case with irl woman, too and this game is not a fantasy type game it seems. We are not just simply dating them, we are falling for them and they are falling for us, too. Evelyn literally dumped his husband for the same reason we are doing right now and we are bonding so hardcore with her as we do with every other girl. I know, game has harem tag(God, i hate that genre) but romance part is so much stronger. Those girls are not willing slaves for your future harem plans which brings a huge plot hole for the future. Im really worried about this part and hoping for a way to break up some of them and move towards a monogomist cool man option. May be it could work with 2-3 girls but the whole town as a harem. I dont think this wont work for this game.

Animations are great but could use some more. Most of the adult scenes are just static images. Voice acting and sounds of sex would be amazing but i dont think its gonna happen with Renpy game.

Overall, this game has potentiel. 3 out 5 for me. Which is an amazing score considering i have only 6-7 games i even remotely like in this forum out of thousands of games i looked and tried. Peace out.

I actually enjoy this game, the girls look great and have very unique personalities, the MC isn't a total moron, and everything is, for the most part, realistic and entertaining.
What bothers me though is the scheduling. Not that it has the 'day cycle / activities' dating sim route, that's actually what I love about it, but all of the characters have like the SAME slots to get stuff done: Weekend Afternoon. Which means I have to skip through the week to get to the two days where I can advance two out of the dozen or so character's routes at a time. This is just annoying. This is a harem game, dammit, let me explore all options and don't just pigeon-hole everything into one time slot on the weekends.

The game is immersive but it could learn a thing or two in games like "Insight of You" and "Pale Carnation" where there are fewer girls to select from but due to the small number, the dev could focus on the girl's progression much more. 3 stars is coming from the sentiment that it's such a good game. Good renders, immersive storyline, hot scenes. The dialogue is a bit off sometimes but passable. However, due to how slow pacing is, I'll probably only know this game as a constant WIP. Feels like I'm watching Detective Conan/One Piece. Really loved it and followed it. But due to the pacing, I'm slowly losing interest.

For example, it's been a while since we saw progress on Monica and Fiona's individual routes. While I really enjoyed the progress on girls like Rachel, Evelyn, Chan Mi, and Kira as of recent, it starts making me think that the girls' stories will only have more content in 1.5-2 years. Given how much time needs to be spent in writing and rendering each girl's story.

"Insight of You" only has 3 main girls. Much fewer compared to Photo Hunt but it doesn't take away from the immersion. If anything, it adds to it. There's progress for each girl in almost every update. So development feels fast.

I like the quality of this game but I'm not a fan of how slow the progress is for each girl. The slow progression is really holding it back for me. At this point, I could only hope that Moochie hires people to speed it up. Because personally, I don't see it ending in 2 years. Who knows, I might be living an entirely different lifestyle by the time this game ends to the point where it's not on my radar anymore.

Btw, I get why the pacing is slow. It takes a lot of time to code, render, write, and test the update. On top of that, Moochie has to make sure the patreon rewards are fulfilled every month. I understand why it's slow, but it doesn't change the fact that it is and to me as a player, that's what is taking away so much from the game.

Wish I could give this 4,5 stars, because it isn't "perfect".
The artstyle is unique and it has a decent story. My main problem with this game is that there are to many characters you don't really care about. So for me the Focus is of alot of the time. It has alot of content, but alot of it I don't care for. But it is an amazing game try it!.
