I guess the fact that he added it to the OP speaks to what he thought about it. Personally, I'm pleased with what we did with Gemini. I'd say that if you liked the last 10 or so games we did, you'd probably like this one too. I'm guessing the reverse is also true...

I did play the latest update of "Fairwood Retreat 87"
I already wrote about it here back when the prologue was released. The first chapter was ok from my perspective, but the second one got me way more excited about what's to (maybe) come. Mainly because the game heavily teases to turn into an actual slasher/horror AVN.
That being said, let's not fool ourselves here. It's still an AVN and I don't trust them... There's certainly a high possibility that we only get some doofus/wannabe variation of a killer. You know, someone who'll fall short throughout the entirety of the game, the Wile E. Coyote of all serial killers
. Even worse, maybe it isn't even a serial killer/psychopath. Maybe it's just "that weird dude who lives in the woods and accidentally scares people all the time even though he ultimately doesn't mean any harm"... lol
But I say no to all of this nonsense!. It's time to rip off the band aid and give us a high profile kill to get the ball rolling... Yes, i'm looking at you Tiffany. I'm sorry, even though you're a sweet virgin girl who has the hots for our sweet virgin girl MC, sometimes it just isn't meant to be in these kind of scenarios..... I say bring out the chainsaws and pick axes already and make our stomach's churn.
Now, despite the things i'd personally like to see, I was surprised how competent the game turned out to be. Pretty solid renders/animations, solid writing with even a hint of femininity here and there. Everything seems to be above average. Yet, the fact still remains that we don't know what the developer has in mind with his game as a whole. I mean, sure, at worst it'll be a solid lesbian game, but.. I want more than that =(

those willing to provide public or self-leaked versions for free are most likely already doing it, the rest will tell you to buy their game (some pirates having malware problems isn't enough to make them reconsider their business model).
I did it, the thread where anyone can unrecommend games without being pointed at. The yang of this ying if you would like.
All the negative opinions, which are too much for certain users to bear, could be placed there so said users aren't exposed to negative negativity:
https://f95zone.to/threads/the-thread-for-the-not-recommended-games.231603/
I'm going to copy my initial comment on Leap of Faith there, I would do it with the whole conversation about the game, but someone might prefer certain comments aren't transfered, so feel free to do it yourselves with your own comments.
Also I will answer my pending replies there.
The yang and ying usually come together. What if I see a recommendation in this thread that I strongly disagree with (as in recent example with Dreams of Desire) and have a different opinion on that? Shall I go to that other thread and write there? But what is the point? Not to upset some snowflakes who cannot stand different views? People who read this thread may not participate in the other one. In this way we never find the truth. Anybody can recommend any shit here and meet no counterargument. Is the art of substantiated discussion dead by now because we are afraid to upset somebody?

There goes my dream of unlocking the universe through the wisdom found in porn games. I had the term "coomism" all thought out already.
If you only care about the porn part, why bother reading this thread or playing "porn games" in general? Just watch real porn, it is widely available and much more refined in terms of fap content. I understand your sarcasm but it totally misses the point.

a small heads up since my recent summary here is now outdated, the script kid has changed his approach somewhat (finally): he took time to learn how to infect an unity game, and bundled the malware with the game (it's not downloaded from the internet anymore). the same sandboxing / virtual machine /active antivirus / no-internet-to-send-out-your-data approach for running stuff you don't trust is still valid.
notice & technical stuff
this is all, /offtopic
edit: quoted the wrong post, apologies for the ping
if i don't want to buy a new laptop just for playing pirated games, is learning how to use sandbox easy? for someone who is not literate with computer. How much time roughly do i need to put aside to be able to use sandboxie?
or, if i decide buying a new laptop is better as opposed to time spent learning sandboxie, what would be the minimum spec to play AVN games and the average RPGM, Unity games?
cuz im at the moment using a gtx1060 and an old i5 (i dont rmmbr which gen), and some animation is already laggy, compared to for example my mac which is newer.
i dont wanna buy a high-end laptop just to play game but idk which low-end laptop i can buy that i can still get away with playing games and be safer

Use a virtual machine. I use Virtual Box with a Linux Mint System (though any one would do... I just installed Mint and left it there because I was a little disappointed with Ubuntu). It works well for Ren'Py games. For Unity... Not always... It depends on the game (for those that don't work well, I use an old laptop which I don't bother if it's infected or not since there's nothing sensible there). A sandbox may work the same but I don't know any that's free while Oracle Virtual Box + Linux is totally free (I mean, I'm not saying there ain't any sandbox free... I just didn't bother to look for it since my setup works fine). If you plan to buy a laptop, you can buy a cheap one since those Ren'Py games don't use VRAM, that is, you don't need an expensive graphic board (don't know about Unity though... I think this engine is more dependent on dev's skills... I've seen some games that run just fine while others are a drag). Well... It all depends on the games you play. I play mostly Ren'Py, a few Unity, and even less from other engines (NSFW; all my SFW games are on Steam or GOG, not counting the old ones on DVDs and CDs).
If you want any tips and hints about the virtual machine, just drop me a message (or, if it's of anyone's interest, I can post it here).
Exactly like that, it's the sad world we live in now, people join forums and social media to demand to be surrounded by yes men only, rejecting to deal with any kind of different opinions.
But it's better to let them be happy in their safe spaces, and engage elsewhere with people open to discussion.

It's been a while since I've recommended anything, so here it goes: Best Friends
It's a very unusual AVN, maybe even unique. Two Newcastle lads are best friends, growing up and doing everything together. A few weeks before they leave for uni, one of them comes out as trans! You choose whose perspective you'd like to see: Michael, the kind-hearted jock and very much a lads lad, or "Jon" (later Emma) who is keeping things from Michael.
As a visual novel, the game is nothing to write home about, on either of those terms. But it still impressed me because a VN that treats trans people kindly and not in a fetishistic way is rare. Doubly so when it also feels like a good read.
To get ahead of some questions: So far, there are no choices beyond the POV, and it's unclear how many there will be. There is only one sex scene, which is on the "Michael path," with a third character. We also don't know if Michael and Emma will become a thing, or if the player will have a choice. Based on what I've seen so far, I think we will, but play the game and decide for yourself
The first three chapters are on F95, with a fourth apparently on Patreon. It fits the criteria in the OP, so the list has been updated.

I just started playing Now and Then. I don't remember where I got the recommendation, probably not here since it's only been mentioned 3 times in the past. Also, it has some elements that probably disqualifies it from the list, but I still needed to bring it up, because the writing is so damn good!
We have some real characters with reasonable motivations and believable development. We have good dialogue, and we have some really well executed thriller scenes (it's a zombie apocalypse story). It would pass the Bechdel test.
On the down side is that it is quite haremy and that the MC suffers from magical dick syndrome (every woman/girl wants to fuck him). I am also not a fan of this type of renders (Honey Select?), but the creator is really doing the most of it, especially when it comes to light and shadows.
Anyway, all those negatives could easily be forgiven just for the fact that it is so good. I'd say there are several TV shows running now that are inferior.
And did I mention that it is completed?
I am two thirds in, and I am really looking forward to actually being able to binge-read this all the way to the end.
