VN - Ren'Py - Welcome to Free Will [v0.5.0] [MrStrangelove]

Version 3.4 The game started off pretty strongly with an interesting mystery and a well balanced cast of characters. The balance is a game strength, not over-flooding the game with an excess of female characters. It feels more natural to have a more realistic social setting. There's a good mix of girls who look good as well, and a reasonably likeable MC. Things were going along well and then suddenly the writing took a dive off a cliff. As we go further along the dialogue has gotten worse and the story elements either aren't developing well in line with the premise of the game or aren't service to develop the MC's personal relationships with the girls. You don't get any sense of real attachment to anyone and the characters have situationally inappropriate dialogue during what should be stressful or emotionally charged episodes in the story. It's like Westworld where the robots are trying to learn how to be human and not quite succeeding.

So, in short, promising start becoming more meh as we go along, and whether it goes up or down from here is anybody's guess. This game as it stands is a time filler that's fine as something to do, but not a must-play by any means.

Welcome to Free Will [v0.3.4]

PROS
- Great renders
- Great Animations
- Great cast of girls
- Plentiful sex scenes (Flavia is best girl)

CONS
- Meh story
- Free roam (I prefer full VN)
- Some of the animations have awkward physics

All and all this is a good game, even a great game, I am not giving it 5 stars because I am a picky bastard who likes what he likes.

TLDR; Great game.

great graphics , great work , i like the story , a lot of sex scenes with a combination with some adventure , the english is great no mistakes , i highly recommend you guys to try this lovely game .
good job developer and thank you for being awesome .

This is an amazing game, regardless of the model, rendering, plot, are very good, there are a lot of stockings temptation, Rosalyn is the sexiest MILF inside, this is a good game absolutely can not miss!

Why i like this game..:

Amazing renders
Animations are Great
Plenty of sex scenes
Good soundtrack
Long game good content
Good pace
Stockings
Hot girls and milfs....
Good interactions
Good decisions

Cons:
Story can improve
Too much "foot fetish" (but u can skip )

For me is a 4.5 stars but i rated 5 just to see how good this game can be.

This is one of those games that is a perfect example of a contradiction. On one hand, you have some beautiful renders and good staging, and then you have silly "free roam" segments that really don't seem to serve any real purpose other then just being able to say they are in the game.

On top of that, the story, while it started out great, quickly devolved into something not great. I mean, the MC is in town to find his Mom, but he spends his time partying, taking girls out and generally trying to get laid. He gave himself a week and he is acting like he is on vacation or something.

There is just so much potential here, but it seems like the dev has kind of mailed in the story as the dialogue is just simple and not always relevant. Plus there are silly scenarios like needing to give a foot massage to get your shirt back... or having Candice at the party but the next scene you black out and wake up on the floor with Candice gone already. I mean, you would have taken the time to pull her aside and ask her what the fuck was going on. Maybe it's her strangely enormous hair that distracted the MC... IDK... but the story just has too many plot holes.

Despite all of that, The story is good enough that I am curious about how it's going to unfold; plus I think the dev is really talented. The renders are really good and some of the women are really well done. Katie and Lily are just top notch. I would just like to see more attention paid to the story and less time on the free roam.

You should give it a download. Just because I am not in love with it, plenty of people are so you should definitely give it a chance.

UPDATE: I am dropping this by another star as I just tried playing it again and ffs what is with all the free roam crap. Having to grap a beer to get your shirt, having to find hotdogs in the fridge... ffs... There are passwords and books and all sorts of other crap in these things. It just take you completely out of the story. And as soon as you wrap one up, you quickly find yourself in another. Uugggh. I just want to get to the story which actually seems okay but who knows when I am too busy looking for a beer to get the MCs shirt back. SMH.

For me this awesome game.

Hot girls. Very good graphic. Very good animation - damn, not always you can see soo good animation. If you slap butt - butt normaly shaking and etc. Mostly in games animation much simple if you can call it animation.

In my walkthrough I don't develop relationships with some character and of course I missed some sex scene. But I don't have feeling that I missed something. Scene and character really good.

Interesting story. In some moment I asked my self "WTF? You blind (protagonist)?" But there not much moment like this. It's ok.

Amazing renders,good looking girls and the story is very good. Hope in the future updates we get more choices, hope choices matter and have impact on the story and the relations with the girls, hope there is more choices to choose (instead of 2 to have 3). congrats on the dev making a interesting game and hope the future updates continue to be amazing.

WtFW is a good VN with thriller and telenovela elements. It has a soundtrack, which is also very pleasant to listen to. The plot is mysterious and the protagonists have diverse personalities, even if their bodies are rather monotonous. You can clearly see that the developer favours distinct body proportions.

Overall, I really like WtFW, but points are deducted for the sometimes grotesque renders. Elyce's hair, for example, looks like it was rendered by a ten-year-old. Especially at the beginning of the game, some faces look incredibly old and bodies look misshapen, breasts have unnatural shapes and their bodies make some of the women look like bimbos.

But if you can look past that, Free Will has a lot to offer and manages to skilfully conceal the mystery surrounding the disappearance of MC's mother and the relationships between the protagonists, who is involved in her disappearance and who can be trusted. I'd definitely recommend it.

I personally like this game a lot. There's a fair amount of content and quality lewd scenes. The girls are all pretty, as can be seen from the screenshots. And they are all pleasant so it's not easy to pick. It seems by the listed game tags that this isn't a harem but so far, there isn't a problem in being involved with most of the girls. However you do need more than one playthrough to see absolutely all the content (if that interests you).
There are some free-roam times but it's fine, nothing you need to repeat to progress with a girl, thank goodness.
The game is also free in Steam (first 2 episodes at least, dunno about the rest).
I definitely recommend it. And I love Flavia!

good story , good animation , good graph , every decision can change the story every update give a lot stuff and a lot a fun , just give it a try , the bad thing is sometimes update take a lot of time

Game should have more support. It shows good promise for the few patrons they have.
Renders are solid, animations are good, theres an actually story to it all.
Hope this doesnt end up in the abandoned pile of solid unfinished games.

The renders are very well done and the girls are very interesting. There is a free roam like CK and Being A Dik which is cool. The sex scenes are well done. The story is very captivating since it has a mystery behind the dissapereance of the mother of the MC and cant wait to see what will happen.

I wasn't really convinced at first but I'm super hyped. This might be my second favorite in terms of CG renders/animations next to BaDik. Some scenes look even better than BaDik but BaDik's story and immersion take the cake for any AVN SO FAR. The story becomes more intriguing in Free Will but we'll see how it unfolds. Fantastic job MrStrangeLove you've earned another supporter!

Rough English. Just makes the dialogue feel awkward.

• Two brothers talking to each other and they keep calling each other "brother" instead of calling each other by their names.
• No normal person would refer to their parents as "mother" and "father". There even times where it changes to "mom" out of nowhere.
• Spell out the whole word, man. You're not chatting online, you're writing a story. Tho, tho, tho.

Character models look like clowns. I thought it was just going to be the one but it turned out to be most of them. As soon as I saw "Candice" I just said "I'm done" and closed the game.

There's something else that's sus about it but I can't mention other games in reviews so I'll leave it at that.

Look, I'm sure that over time things will improve which is why I'm not rating it that low but I just don't have the time for this. I'm sorry.

Welcome to Free Will (0.2.8 version) is really an interesting game. At first it claims to be mature and all that in it's storytelling but doesn't really seem so, so far. But, even with that taken into account, the story is pretty interesting and has some twists and turns that hint at some more interesting developments further down the road. Girls may be a bit too easy to fuck, which may have an explanation further down the road, but that is to be expected in a game like this. And, even though they are cliche'd, they do feel developed and fleshed out so they feel like true charaters and interesting ones at that.

Render quality is very high as are the animations which are many in sex scenes but there are also quite some number of them outside sex scenes, which is very nice. Music has quite a repertoir which is good, but few sound effects. And so far I only faced a few bugs with item and path recognition.

So, all in all, a very interesting and worthwhile game.

I've discovered this VN by random. Very good and exciting Story so far. Good Render Quality. Nice and beautiful Girls. For a early Version long playtime IMO. I am really looking forward how this Game developed.
Good Work !

With so many great VNs out there i´m beggining to be a tad repetitive.
So for the wankers reading this:
YOU SHOULD PLAY THIS GAME.
For the developer:
- points for the sex scenes: it´s lacking hotness; and i´m not talking about animations (just) i´ts just awkward sometimes. The hair? Just figure it out.
+ points for the story: it´s an unique story unlike any other. it´s not GOT (the books) but it´s a good different story.
+++++ points for the characters: in VNs i´m usually interested in 1 or 2 love interests. Here i want them all. Really well done. You can do sequels with any of them and i´m in.

This is a very pretty game with good animations, but the writing is just so cringe. It feels like someone took a CW show and then pumped the drama of it to 10000.

To be clear, 3/5 means average game. So it isn't bad, but just not as good as other similar games.

Positives -
Really nice renders
Animations are super smooth
Plenty of sex scenes
Good soundtrack

Negatives -
Sometimes the face renders are really off, something about the way they are lit makes the females look much older than they are
The writing is really all over the place and hard to follow
There is no real variety in LIs, they are all massive tits with different skin tones
This is clearly a harem game pretending to be a choice based game
