Agent Sherine

The Good The models all look good and are attractive. Not your typical AI BS. The Bad 1. Motion Sickness from some of these video clips. 2. STORY - FBI you say, CIA you say, undercover operative you say! What have we done so far? Looked for a Friggin VASE! That is it searched a massage parlor and a brothel for a VASE! (Ep.3 current) STORY - Plot and story are weak, you Literally go into enemy hands and ask them about the VASE!! Really? Federal agents walk into criminal enterprises and ask the suspects "Can you please show us where the incriminating evidence is?" BUGS - Episode 3 is crash city, every other click in a lot of scenes. Potential but poor atm.

Agent Sherine [v0.195] It seems like we’ve reached the next step in interactive visual novels, where almost everything is AI-animated (animations based on 3D CG renders). Honestly: quite impressive! But if you take a closer look, you quickly notice that the quality varies a lot - from meh to really well done. A few examples: the skin textures of the FMC and most other characters look plastic and boring, with no visible pores, freckles or beauty marks, while most male characters actually look more interesting and detailed. Or the curly hair of the German woman (shown with thick curls in the renders) in the swinger scene - in the AI animations it stays thick, cartoon-like curls instead of looking like real hair. The mouth movements while speaking are often exaggerated and make the scenes feel unnatural. And it’s always amusing to watch AI undress people. The AI voices fall into the same quality range as the animations. Some are pretty good for AI, others less so. Most of them lack the authenticity of a real voice actor who can properly capture the tone of a scene. The male voices were definitely better. I was also surprised how well the French accent in the English dialogue came across in the massage scene, and of course the scenes with Russian dialogue. What I’m not sure about is whether Sherine’s thoughts should also be voiced - imo better not. All in all, what we get here – visually and acoustically – is actually quite good (for AI), and I think time will tell whether this might become the future of AVNs. One of my two biggest issues with this title is the narrative. It doesn’t really manage to tell Sherine’s story convincingly. Some dialogues feel unfinished - parts of the dialogue are not fully thought through or lack elements, and overall things feel disconnected. Did the characters even talk to each other, or did everyone just say whatever they wanted without listening? Cringe. Then there are scenes that just feel awkward. For example when Sherine bluntly asks about the vase several times – both in the massage scene and in the swinger scene with the German couple. Cringe! The second big problem for me is the lack of player agency. Can we actually shape the story, or is this basically just a kinetic novel with no influence on the outcome? For me, stories about female agents usually have two directions they can go: either the heroine stays dominant, controls the situation and makes the bad guys look foolish, or she slowly gets corrupted and turns into a plaything for those same villains. So far we don’t get the chance to lead Sherine down either of those paths. tl;dr I’m giving this title four stars because with the AI-voice and cinematic visuals it takes a forward-looking step . AI as a tool is used very well here – even if the narrative has clear weaknesses and there were quite a few cringe moments. If I had to rate the narrative alone, it would be more of a two-star work .

With movie mode off its freaking annoying. Should be option to turn off animations complitely. Suprisingly movie mode is better.Animations are prettty good and cosistent, only go bad it there is too much dialog for one and it becomes annoying flickering gif. Those needs to be looped smoothly. Whats missing is voice off for auto mode, becose AI voice acting is just bad and robotic , and it prolongs auto mod. I think I would enjoy movie mode on auto text only much more. Also quality is just bad. At moments it feels like it flactuets between 480 and 720. I get it, you'd need shitload of money to poor into it for 1k so I guess it's good enough for what it is. Story is pretty good so far, as far as porn games go it's excelent.

The game is beautifully made and the characters well designed and very well AI-animated for the most part as well as very well voiced and lip-synced. Highly impressive for what it is! But... what is it exactly aiming for? To me this looks like it's focusing so hard on being a CIA-spy-action-movie that there's barely any room for player agency and decision-making, while tons of story are constantly being dumped on the player to progress the plot. And if you ask yourself the following: What is the focus of the game, where is the player's blood supposed to go? Their smart heads or their dumb heads? Feeling stuck in what is essentially a kinetic novel really takes the "game" part of the whole project. But, as beautiful as it is, it's not a good AVN in my opinion. All the best to the developer and the impressive work that's being put into this. I really appreciate the attention to detail and would consider this game to be the most cinematic currently out there and would love to see the dev's skill put into a less drama/thriller and more of a fun/taboo type project in the future.

Great game! The plot is a 10, the graphics are also top-notch. The main character is sexy. The main thing is her naturally beautiful figure and very cute face. The dialogue is logical and interesting. One of the best novels to date. I wish success to the creators of this project.

So far, I like this a lot, because I like the movie animations and even the AI voicing. Yeah, it's clunky, but it's a good start. The art design is beautiful. Not much has happened yet, but I'm looking forward to what does.

Agent Sherine [v0.11] 19.01.2925 The game is well on its way to becoming a gem and integrates AI content very well. However, the AI is also what deducts points from the game. Designing the whole thing as a kind of feature film, which, apart from a few scene changes, gets by with almost no still images, is a good success. The animations seem fluid, but in some situations the chosen perspective causes some strange proportions for FMC and also for some NPCs. The voice output is currently a major drawback, as it does not convey any emotions and is not synchronized with the mouth animation. The voice of the two gangsters (especially the white one) in the bar also seems more childishly shy than intimidating. The timing when using her ability could also be improved. When you look at the office worker, there is not enough time to be able to read the longest text in full. Sherine may have experience with the skill, but the player does not. A countdown bar that runs down would be very helpful here. Some scenes, such as the blackmail attempt by her CIA boss, seem artificial, just to generate the next frivolous situation. Unfortunately, there are also inconsistencies in the story. For example, she would hardly allow herself to be blackmailed for 300,000 if she worked for the CIA. She did indicate that she knew ways to resolve this, but in my opinion she should have already brought it up with her boss. I'm curious to see how this will continue. Mathematically speaking, I would give it 4 points, but the shortcomings in the story that I currently perceive lower it to 3 points. But there is definitely potential for improvement.

Technically an innovative game. But it's just a sign of the times, like the transition of cinema to color film. The presence of animation does not indicate the quality of the final product. Unfortunately, we have the usual lies. The tags indicate a female protagonist, but the pov here is either male or none, and the whole story about the FBI and CIA is very far from female-centered. This story is similar to those made up by teenagers from third world countries about life in the US, which they only know from the popular TV series of their childhood. Further proof of this is the “black” guy, with European facial features. Lol. This is typical of what I was talking about above. The author probably lives in a country where no one has ever seen black people. But the problem is even deeper than that. The tags suggest that this is a WOMAN'S game. So male characters should be given at least minimal sculpting. But this game was created by a guy who is either heterosexual or ashamed of his homosexuality, so the men in it are not beautiful. Except for that fat sugar daddy in the jacket. He wasn't bad. I can predict that the dicks of the guys will be typical - small-headed and thin - because a straight dev believes that women only like dicks in men, but he couldn't let someone have a bigger dick than this teenager, even if he tried. So this game is another one of my typical disappointments.

Very innovative for sure. Really looks stunning. If this a glimpse into the future of these games, I can't wait! However, there are a number of issues that hopefully get fixed. 1- The writing was pretty poor, even unintentionally funny at times. 2- The AI voices sounded too robotic on most of the characters. 3- Certain words were not pronounced correctly, especially - MI6, ME6 and M16 .. 4- If the FBI agent is the MCs sister, why does she have a British accent ? 5- I found the black screen popping in between most dialogue scenes to be very distracting. 6- The characters voice volumes were inconsistent. Some were very hard to hear. Best of luck with this project. Very impressive.

So far it is 5 starts for me. Although it is only 30min of game play, it brings something new to the market and gives example in what dirrection visual novel can go. I do realize that AI is not perfect right now. But even with all troubles this game shows that it is possible.
