I enjoyed the game. Did one playthrough, then after that followed a guide to get the remaining achievements. The designs of the characters are good. The scenes are good. Achievements were quite easy to get. I recommend this game if you like visual novels or achievements. 7/10.

Welcome to Free Will - Episode 1 — 8/10 Welcome to Free Will - Episode 1 is a very solid start to a story-driven AVN that mixes romance, mystery, exploration and adult content. The premise is more interesting than the typical dating-focused VN: the protagonist travels to a small town with his brother after learning that their mother has gone missing, uncovering secrets along the way. Story & Characters The mystery surrounding the missing mother gives the episode a genuine narrative hook. The characters are varied and the relationship system allows the protagonist to develop different connections depending on your decisions. The story also balances its darker moments with humor and emotional scenes. Gameplay & Choices Choices genuinely matter, with branching relationships and a non-linear storyline. The phone, journal, collectibles, open exploration and optional mini-games add welcome variety to the traditional Ren'Py formula. Visuals & Adult Content The 3D renders and animations are attractive, while the adult scenes are well integrated into the broader story.

Welcome to Free Will - Episode 1 is an adult-oriented visual novel that combines romance, mystery, personal drama, and player-driven choices with a surprisingly substantial collection of interactive features. Developed and published by Mr Strangelove, it follows a young man nearing the end of college who has yet to determine what direction he wants his life to take. His uncertainty is interrupted by the unexpected return of his older brother, who has been absent for several years. More importantly, the brother brings troubling news: their mother has disappeared. Their attempt to find her leads them to the small town of Free Will, where old connections, new relationships, and unanswered questions quickly complicate what initially appears to be a straightforward search. The mystery surrounding the protagonist's mother provides the story with a useful narrative anchor. Rather than relying exclusively on romance and explicit encounters, the game uses the disappearance to push its protagonist into unfamiliar circumstances and gradually introduce the people and secrets surrounding Free Will. His arrival also forces him to confront parts of his past, including people he never expected to…

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
