Version Played: 0.6
Time Played: About 2 hours, completed content though used a gallery cheat to see scenes I missed.
My only experience with the "real porn" tag has a been a now defunct visual novel set in Japan. I have to say, in terms of visual options, real porn has to be my least favorite as it somehow feels the least creative or the "easy way out." (Note: This is just a feeling; I don't think making a game is "easy" by any stretch of the imagination, so perhaps this is more of a "prejudice.") However, as with just about anything, execution is everything, and while The Agency hasn't exactly left a burning desire in me to seek out more in the style, it is well-made.
Positives
+ Broad selection of women with something for everyone (leans heavily into white chicks though, with one woman who looks mixed and no Asians)
+ The amount of time and care put into the game is evident
+ Potentially interesting set up, narratively
+ Ample amount of porn with a decent amount of fetishes even at this stage
Negatives
- Plot is very slow-moving, with the main hook of the titular agency not seeming to be even close to implementation
- English could use a lot of work
- The MC (ie male actor) will change from scene to scene (duh), which could be potentially very immersion-breaking for some.
- Minor, but the file size is freaking huge. As the game is only going to get bigger, dev needs to look into some compression options STAT. There are also some transition scenes like walking down hallways or opening doors that could easily be cut with no detriment to the game (though I can understand why they were included).
As it stands, since the main plot hasn't really gotten going yet, your interest in this game is going to really hinge on whether or not you're a) into real porn, a') whether or not you find the actresses attractive. If you're on the fence, I think this is a pretty decent place to start. If this were a game with DAZ3D or HS graphics, I would probably be more interested, but as it stands, I won't be waiting for future installments with bated breath.
Note to devs: Thank you for the game! Please look into compression ideas for a "low-spec" download option. Please try to get someone to proof your English. Get the main plot on the rails sooner rather than later.
