I like it. but a walkthrough would be useful. I am having trouble navigating how to get different sex endings. I like the concept, though it is kind of confusing. the sex scenes are top tier however

I'm not sure what all the hate is about for this game. I think this game is fantastic. Very unique, so sick of harem games with one dude fucking everyone...gets boring as hell.
Yeah, indeed cool, unique and interesting, both the concept and implementation. I love that the main focus is erotica. I enjoy the story and storytelling bit ( not even far into the game, just day 3 ). How each characters are unique in their own way, and I as the player need to figure them out. The characters act semi-realisticly like a real person would, they lie, exaggerate, hide stuffs, and/or say the opposite of what they actually meant.

Still have not figure out about the point system though. Some choices give "red" point, "blue" point while others offer dialogue variations. There are different outcomes/paths depending on the player choice.

Alex, the 'MC' is nothing but a narrator. As Alex, the players will explore the game environment looking for characters who would tell their story. Most characters will only share their story if Alex met certains conditions or do something for them. The player make choices on behalfs of the characters that tell their story to Alex. Depending on the choices made by the player, the erotic story will be meh, good, great or even failed.

However, this game is not for players who for whatever reason self-insert, self-project into the MC, who imagine they're the MC, who fantasize about being the MC, among other types of players.

I agree with you. this is why I do think a walkthrough/guide would be useful for those who want to see all the variations. There are alot it would seem

Yeah, definitely a walkthrough/guide/mod will be very useful. I hope esteemed and talented members of this community can step up:p.

In the meantime, URM might help. I have not tried it myself for this game though, but I used it on some other games before and it is very good to explore alternate scenes/routes and editing variables. For my first playthrough, I like to play blind for as long as I possibly can.

Hello! I'm the responsible of this game, and first of all I would like to give thanks for sharing and spreading it.
I'm surprised of the wide range of reactions my project had during those first newborn days! And I think it's worth to answer some points!

Nice seeing another developer who goes against the grain, dare with something completely different. I hope he will be steadfast despite the not so encouraging responses by some.

Honey Select visual looks really good.
Good size for first release, have not played it yet, waiting for compressed.

Thank you for the share. All the best, Petardo. Cheers.
Thanks for understanding that this game tries to be something different. About people disencouraging, don't worry about that, I've already read really hate comments on other sites, and that's not a problem for me! I'm aware of the flaws and things that could be done better in my game, and I totally dig some of the critics. Even some haters are going to show up ingame in future builds... I still have to study how.

So MC gets no lovin and just watches everybody else fuckin? That is definitely an original concept than most games on this site.
Overall, this is how the game should be understood. As JohnF95zone said just over, MC is a narrator and the whole game should be read as a compilation of short VNs (that was my intention).

I gave it a shot, but didn't complete it due to the sandbox being quite a tedious grind. Essentially, the tags give you a good idea of what to expect. It's primarily a blend of voyeurism and multiple protagonists.
Sandbox mode is a part to be adressed, I'm aware of it. It still feels empty, with not so much to do, and forces player to skip through time and wait. That's on the list of things to do.

I read it as Retardo at first.
Damn! I lost a good oportunity for an awesome dev name! XD

i would've been more interested if the MC's goal was to write a book and use his own experiences as reference and so he goes out into the world to discover different types of sex.
I should admit that at first sight your concept is really better than mine, but had entered in conflict with what I wanted to do: Writing independent short stories. But I still believe in how I'm doing it.

Walkthrough is planned to made it as a helping character. And as the game grows it's going to be more necessary (as some branching may be confusing, that's true).

I'm not sure what all the hate is about for this game. I think this game is fantastic. Very unique, so sick of harem games with one dude fucking everyone...gets boring as hell.
I'm also surprised! XD... I've seen many people complaining about "MC is a cuck that only sees others fucking". Isn't about that most porn games? A player watching somebody else having sex?

i ask again and hope for a answer.
is the animations as bad as in the preview pictures?
No! Absolutley not! In the preview you're looking at a downscaled gif. Actually animations look at almost the same quality of renders... And even, if I'm allowed to say it... I would say sex scenes are the best part of game.

Still have not figure out about the point system though. Some choices give "red" point, "blue" point while others offer dialogue variations. There are different outcomes/paths depending on the player choice.
Here's where I probably made the messy things. Some menus trigger points, like in a dating sim, depending on the points you made, you'll have different endings. Other menus (the ones with the warning, that keep locked when in replay) alters future story, working like a classic branching VN. Need to rethink this after all...


Extra Hint: Why Alex seems to be labelled as "male protagonist"? I've been using neutral english intentionally to hide MC's gender...

Cool. I understand that part and I believe the point system in general is well-done, at least it is very familiar ( like any dating sim as you say ).

What I actually meant with my earlier comment is that I am still trying to figure out the best or optimized choices to get all the best scenes, which I believe what playing a game is all about:D. Basically, I'm still figuring out the 'winning moves'. Sorry for the confusion.

P/S: Well-done on your first project and thanks a lot for this game! Welcome to publicly interacting with the community:p.

Oh! I see... Right now some scenes are not compatible with others, so to get the whole there would be needed a replay. For example, if Jason shoots at Mercedes face she'll look for payback; if he acts like a noob and ends in her mouth, she's just dumping him and will pick another dude. It's an example of two opposite consecuences than can't be achieved together on the same run.

A planned feature is using "Sex Points" as a currency that allows to unlock missed scenes, to not force the player to start the whole game again (I'm not that evil!). I have already planned an ingame character that can give this kind of support to the player, also for giving tips and guiding, but still have to think about it more, for implementing that well!

Woah, choice with very significant outcome:eek:(y). Will check out Mercedes payback ASAP.

Really nice(y)!

Edit: I like the Extras a lot, where players can quickly check their progresses by looking at the Achievements, Cast and Game Stats. Game Credits is also a nice gesture.

Which explains a lot why Thomas acts and speaks the way he did towards Alex.

Hey man. How do you get that sex scene in the first image? the riding on countertop? I have been trying multiple times and still can't figure it out

The cafe 'sex scene' between Amanda and Thomas is random, so you need to make a save ( and keep loading it until you get all variations ) during the choice below. There are 3 variations to the scene.

So basically this game is a giant voyeur fest? It's funny, while I'm kinda find appealing in this fetish it still feels weird to me, that the main character can't draw his inspiration from his own experience as well. It just feels unnatural, that he will be tossed aside without the ability to have a relationship with at least someone. It's your game, of course, and fresh ideas are always good in my book. Just my two coins.

Short answer is No, game doesn't even has voyeurism tags. Since you already draw your own conclusions about this game, most likely not the game that you will enjoy playing IMO. Of course dev would like for you and/or everyone else to give this game a chance.

I'm judging by answers, that people wrote here. If the main character listens to stories about others having sex but not him, it's either NTR or voyeurism. Considering that these persons not love interest to him, it's fall into the last category. Imagine write a porn story and not being aroused by it. In this case, it's a main protagonist, who is a writer. So he should have a boner from what he is listening, otherwise how he would consider this story hot to be written about?

It's over the table to give MC some action and a more active role as game progresses, not because of people complaining, but because I really want to do it. There's things happening aside from the short stories, that involve directly the MC

Not happening in this release, and maybe neither in the next one, but it's planned.

Just notice this is a first release and for sure I do accept your two coins! I just didn't want to fire all my bullets from the start.

Good to know. I can actually sense or feel that there is the possibility that MC's own experience is on the menu as I was playing the game. Just because the first release doesn't have that content doesn't mean that it won't be in the game at later time. For me, it is really not a big deal.

One thing I want to ask for is for you to enable the Quick Menu, most importantly the "Auto" and "Back" features, optionally "Quick Save" and "Quick Load". That would be really helpful QoL ( Quality of Life ) improvement. Normally, it is at the bottom of the screen but you can actually put it anywhere, customize it etc.

Completed my first playthrough, reached the current contents end at the morning of Day 11 ( could be earlier or later depending on choices I guess ). While the game can continue, there won't be any new contents unless I start a new palythrough with different choices to get the story variations.

I unlocked 6/7 stories with relative ease, except for Penelope which is a tricky one. I'll just cheat this one:ROFLMAO:.

Most of the achievements ( I have not unlocked all ) are actually bad achievements i.e. getting it in the failed story. Anal Invader is one of the exceptions. If players makes the best or right choices for most of the time, they probably won't unlock most of the achievements.

Related to the Anal Invader achievement, in one of the story, anal sex is considered to be the best outcome, while the first runner up is vaginal sex.

There is one main inconvenience in the game ( for me ) where the ransom thug in the Street been asking for a cigarette but it is nowhere to be found and no hint that I can figure out. There is a Supermarket but the MC can only buy liquor and it is only available for one of the story. I think the cigarette and the thug is probably linked with Penelope story which I have not unlocked yet:unsure:.


General Reviews.
The Honey Select visuals and animations are pretty decent. Each characters especially the females are 'custom' made to fits their personality, at least they are not the familiar 'stock' models that are being used over and over again in many games.
Musics are good IMO, at least it improves the experience and mood.
English and grammar are really good.
The sandbox element of this game is its weakest link. Generally it is okay but can be improved further, for example with an in-game 'quest' tracker, or the infamous ? and ! icon placed on characters whom the player/MC should interact with. Currently, there is only the 'global trackers' in Extras which is only accessible from the main screen ( not while in-game ). The developer, Petardo is looking into improving this aspect of the game.
There is no gamebreaking bugs, not sure about logic, consistency and/or continuity since I have not play multiple playthrough and explore the variations yet.
Choices really matter. There are multiple branches. More than one playthrough needed to explore all contents or story variations. The story variations are well-implemented but they are a tad bit tedious to unlock all. The mechanic of using Sex Points to unlock them is going to be huge boost.
Pretty solid first release for a Ren'Py-based game. Content-wise and as far as the subject matters are concerned, are highly subjective.


In a nutshell, players are introduced to myriads of different interesting, unique and/or odd characters and finding out what's her/his story. The stories and characters depiction are more than semi-realistic and very believable IMO. I intent to post a quick recap or summary of the stories later.
