    You play as an FBI agent trying to move up the ladder and get out of boring office duty, the chance comes when a coworker wants your help to investigate a group of masseurs suspected of being famous thieves.

    Now I must say that the story is not made to be elaborate, without plot holes, or have too many details, probably the dev wants to tell a story somewhat believable to develop the love interests with the MC, and to me, he has done well. Each one of them has good peculiarities and good personalities, has a good amount of screen time, and sex/lewd stuff not giving me that feeling of lack of any girl's content.

    Now one of the problems is the English, there are some typos here and there, and mainly misplaced pronouns like using "he" instead of "her", but I can usually ignore things like that if the novel interests me enough, and this one has.

    If you want a lighthearted novel to play, this one is pretty damn good, Criminal Attraction is mainly focused on the romance with the LIs rather than focusing on the main story altogether, and this is a good thing if you play those novels for sappy "romance" and lewd stuff :)

    This one actually started out pretty good and I thoroughly enjoyed the playthru. At some point, however, I started to see some flaws. I think it was the whole break-in, getting captured scene and from there it went downhill for me. Nothing really obvious, just some subtle change in feel and it was enough to start pulling me out of the story.

    From a production perspective, the lighting style is not really my thing. Everything was too bright and each render had a kind of brownish/goldish hew to it. Even in the cover art you can see it. The roller girl stands out partially because of the rule of thirds, but also because of the color. She is the first thing your eyes are drawn to when looking at the image while the rest is kind of muted, except for the bright lights in the background.

    The dev is compensating for not having backgrounds in certain scenes and instead lights it. It's a way to help with render speed and again, it is s style they stick with so it works and it's unique... it's just not for me.

    It's really the storytelling that falls short. Part of it may be that English is not their native language, but there is still a shift in the MC's attitude from a confident, but humble agent to almost a Gary Stu of an MC. It is also difficult to tell what choices to pick as they often don't match up with what happens afterwards. One choice I has was to grab someone by the wrist, which I chose, and then the MC thought something like "No, I can't do that". I was not sure if this was because of previous choices or just the way the dev wanted to do it. Regardless, if I could not do it then don't give me the choice. Giving me the choice and then telling me the MC can't is a little odd.

    Then there is the relationship with the partner. She starts out as a no nonsense agent and then seems to lose her mind if the MC turns her down. The entire drone scene was so strange and his partner was never the same after it.

    Anyway, a four star start, but it has been slowly devolving. The dev is certainly talented, so it will be interesting the see where this goes.

    Amazing visuals, hot ladies, nice animations. Hot scenarios. If all you care about is tasty visuals then this game is very close to a perfect 10.

    But there is more to a game than visuals. The writing for example. Let's talk about that.

    This is very much a Porn game, with a capital P. The dialogue and story mostly serve as a vehicle to deliver the sex scenes and it accomplishes the bare minimum to do so. It's not outright shit writing, but it's far from profound and sometimes the dialogue options are severely cringe-inducing.

    The setting for the "story" demands a lot of suspension of disbelief. An all-female criminal organization captures a guy breaking in and promptly lets him creampie their pussies. What?

    So yeah, if you want to watch a very good visual artist's work and can turn your brain off enough to get off to a highly unbelievable story then I guess go ahead and try it out.

    When I started this game, I knew at the back of my head something was familiar, till I realized this was the same developer working on " Mech Academy". And just like Mech academy, I love that he's kept it simple in terms of Love interests. So far, there are only 5 LI's which is a huge win in my books. Perfectly fleshed out characters with solid character development is what this game is about, unlike certain other games with 50 different shallow & irrelevant females.

    The story is simple, FBI agent infiltrates a female thieving gang to find evidence. Your choices matter ( I hope so in the end) whether you'll be the faithful FBI servant or side with the gang as they seem to have a quite good backstories that can sway your decisions.

    The Character models are gorgeous and renders are top shelf. The cherry on the top are the animations. Great work there, overall.

    When I first saw this game pop up here, the premise piqued my curiosity. It's after the release of v. 2.7 that I've finally played it, as I rarely play first releases.


    I'm glad I chose to wait, because the game has a decent amount of content by now. I am digging the dialogue, the character development and the system implemented to measure the MC's commitment tohis work, since it is crucially linked to the kind of relationship he builds with the other characters. He can either choose to be a calculating agent that seduces these criminals "for the good of the country", or he can actually learn that things are not as black and white, and that people (even some criminals) have layers to them.

    Although the lewd scenes are already good, because of the quality of the renders and the character modelling, this system of deciding how to seduce these people enhances the gameplay. I look forward to the upcoming updates, to seeing how the relationship between the MC and the other characters unfolds and how the story branches, due to this. Even though this is only the third update after the initial release, I'm giving the game a 5/5. Hopefully, further down the road this rating will hold, and we will get to see the game's final form.

    Unique game with interesting premise, great sex scenes and intriguing characters. Finally something not made out of template but with original ideas and non-standard approach. The plot is a bit nonsensical but I can suspend my disbelief since it's enjoyable and it gives us some hot sex scenes.

    It shows that dev(s) have put much effort into this project and I'm eagerly awaiting next update.

    Great Game 4/5

    Not a lotta content since it is new, but is enjoyable and would recommend.

    I really really wish the dev makes a path where MC betray the FBI and follows in the footsteps of his father who is a former robber and in prison and saves the robbers when shit goes south or he becomes their new memeber of the robbery crew. Screw Emily tho,Dev wrote her so well,I just hate her wanna ruin her career.

    The game has great renders, beautiful women with deep personality, interesting plot and many important decisions including moral choices. It's a bit unrealistic in its details but generally is well-written and quite original. My total rate is 840/1000.

    Game has good foundation. Renders and the girls are excellent so far. From the looks of it it looks your choices will determine if you side with the police or the robbers. Put some pregnancy in there and you got A+

    This one felt average. Plot is neither fresh nor overused. Game lacks a wow factor that makes you more invest into the game. There are some animations (not lewd) which felt unnecessary. Honestly I don't mind animations other than lewd if it is done nicely. Animations in this are girls walking around jiggling their ass maybe dev intended to do a fan service. Felt annoying though. There are choices in game which gives you relation point with girls or decrease it. You will get notification whether relation increased on decreased that's helpful. But pace of the game is too much faster it made the plot artificial.
    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
    None of the girls interested me except the silent girl cause she is silent. Monique has weird body proportions especially her boobs. In some areas renders have lighting issues. It would be nice if dev add textbook opacity slider. I likes transparent text box this one got white shaded text box. Like I early mentioned renders have lighting issues there is a white light combing with this partially white shaded text box whole screen felt whiter.

    I usually loves this kind of plots but currently game lacks a wow factor. Hoping it will change in next updates. I didn't played his other game mech academy yet. Don't mind my poor English
