This game may say free but it is the furthest from free you have to buy everything the main store the after story and even the secret story all these fees are crazy I would rather pay one flat fee for the whole game but thats not what you get these people want your money thats it. Do Not pay for this game you have to but everything its not worth if there are so many better otome that cost less then this cash grab.
Let me start by saying that I was slightly worried at first when I read the mature content description of Agent of Love on the store page. Whilst this visual novel is indeed on the darker side, don't let these tags discourage you from giving this game a try — I ended up absolutely enjoying this title. [i]As an important piece of information, only the prologue and first chapters of each character are free to play. If the player wishes to see the full story, and additional content, it's required to purchase them. Each character has their own main story, his POV, epilogue, and the secret end chapter that are buyable in-game.[/i] [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Visual_Novels/discussions/2/2998795613912538896/]Due to the character limit, I had to trim my review. However, feel free to check out my review for the recent release of Takasuke Hiraishi's "His POV" story here.[/url] [h2]An Agent of… Love?[/h2] Agent of Love opens with a prologue that introduces the female main character, as well as the male love interests. The protagonist is working as a detective and from a decent family with her father being the police chief commissioner of Japan. However, nothing is as it seems at first glance and she was actually adopted. Thus, there are a lot of problems she has to deal with, not being the legitimate daughter. Anyway, one day her life gets completely thrown off when she gets closer to a guy. [h2]The Execution of the Story[/h2] Let me start by saying that I ended up getting surprised. Never have I expected Agent of Love to contain such a well-executed story. Well, I should actually say stories as every love interest has his own plot that is entirely different from the others. I found myself getting curious about what the next route has to offer to me and ended up loving each of them. Whilst I preferred some routes over other ones, which is only natural, I am impressed by the story they tell. Of course, there is still a lot of romance implemented, yet Agent of Love also manages to deliver an unforgettable experience with its storytelling. After all, romance gets spiced up with a lot of action. [h2]The Cast[/h2] As a side note, I will update this review with more characters getting added in the future. As every character's route is entirely different, I decided that I will comment on each character separately. [*]So, let's start with the [u]heroine[/u]. She immediately stood out to me as she is not your average female protagonist. I loved that she has a strong personality and didn't need a guy to protect her, in fact, she isn't afraid to take care of the protection herself. One may call it reckless, however, I appreciated that she has actually had a backbone. [*]Let's move on to [u]Ryosei Asakawa[/u]. I absolutely loved the premise of his story as the heroine has to pretend to be his girlfriend. In my opinion, there is nothing more sweet than love that blooms out of a lie and although he seems like the typical playboy, at first sight, I could tell how much he cherished the heroine. If I had to use a word to describe his route it would be "adorable" and I still can't get over how adorable he is. [*][u]Dr. Hajime Fu-kuyama[/u]'s route was… shocking. After the sweet story of Ryosei, I was utterly surprised at the dark twists in the doctor's story and couldn't believe that I still played the same game. Evidently, he has his own reasons for behaving like… Let's say a psychopath, yet it doesn't justify the roller coaster the heroine has to go through. However, in the end, I started to warm up to him, and whilst I don't agree with his methods, his heart is at the right place. [*]Now, [u]Shiro[/u]'s story was different again. I felt like this one focused on the romance most, although it ended up having a rather surprising story at the end. You see, the heroine saves a man, however, when he wakes up it turns out he has amnesia and cannot recall any prior memories. Thus, she decided to give him a name, which happens to be "Shiro", although it's a name for a dog. Anyway, I loved this concept as he was a man without a past nor future, yet they were both happy together. — Well, until he starts to remember his past. [*]I cannot help but have a soft spot for tsunderes, thus I was looking forward to starting [u]Takasuke Hiraishi[/u]'s route. The story caught me off guard and I didn't expect the reveals. At first, I was slightly confused about the case and the relation to the characters, as the previous three characters had a direct connection to their cases. Anyway, it turns out that everything is more entangled than I assumed. I feel like this story was the least romantic one so far and mostly revolves around the plot, which is, by no means, a negative aspect at all.[/list] [h2]Main Story, His POV, Epilogue and The Secret End Chapter[/h2] [i]Note: Ayumu Kitagawa and Kouhei Takeuchi have no available chapters to purchase as of now.[/i] Let me start by saying that, in my opinion, every story is worth purchasing if the reader enjoyed the main story of a certain love interest, although the rest are entirely optional. It's important to mention that the "His POV" chapters only follow the same plot as the main story, however, with the perspective of the love interest. I never had the feeling that the chapters felt too repetitive but it helped me to understand the intention of each male character better. Additionally, they're containing ten chapters whilst the main stories contain slightly over twenty. The epilogue only contains three chapters while the secret end has one. For the main story, there are three different endings available which are: A bad, normal and happy one. Even when the player is not able to reach the happy end, it's possible to go to the chapter selection and just choose what ending they want to experience. I found this was a nice feature as this game only supports no manual saves. Luckily, it saves automatically so I could quit the game any time and go back to it, continuing the scene without having to replay anything. [h2]Graphics and The Immersion[/h2] Graphics-wise, Agent of Love is lovely. I liked the design of the characters, although the heroine is faceless. This, however, didn't bother me a lot as she is only visible in CGs. Anyway, something I didn't like was that the backgrounds looked off, being blurry. This issue sadly does affect some of the CGs as well. In addition to that, there is even the option to make the font bigger — and it even works splendidly in this visual novel without cutting off any words, which sadly often happens for games that offer larger font options. Unfortunately, the game doesn't contain any voice-acting which would have enhanced the immersion. However, it does implement charming tracks and sound effects. [h2]So, what do we have in the end?[/h2] It was a while ago when I last played an otome game with splendid and captivating storytelling like Agent of Love. Whilst this visual novel focuses on the plot a lot, it also throws in a lot of romantic scenes and I couldn't help but feel all giddy inside during scenes where the love interests truly care about the heroine. It does help that Agent of Love offers its reader a strong female lead who may be stubborn but is just the kind of person I need in these kinds of games. That being said, I cannot recommend Agent of Love enough, so do yourself a favor play this otome game right away if you're a fan of the romance genre.

It's really not free. You have to pay for everything after the first chapter of each character. I much rather pay one time instead of per character's chapters, additions POVs, etc. Cash grab. No thanks.
*Recommended spoiler* Did I see the warning labels under their commentary? Yes and I read them as well. I understand that there are routes in many otome games where the love interest might force kisses or imply certain events happened to the main character because of the bad guy or in relation to the story line/plot. I have only read one route in another game where the main character's relationship with a guy started out with her rape/sexual assault. That story line was outrageous and so was the Dr.'s route in this. He starts out fine and sortaf lame-ish but what happens? Oh! He ends up blackmailing the main character bc he has a picture of them in bed together after she finds out she was drugged and raped by him to get her to marry him and give him all of the info on the case she was working on. Don't forget that he insinuates that he got her pregnant as well and she can't do anything about it (Plan B or anything) before she actually finds out if she is pregnant or not. No I did not finish reading the story and I tried looking up other comments on how horrible this route is and only found one blog which says it gave his character a twist and more depth? WTH? Anyway, it went on to say that he didn't actually rape or assault her (even though he gave her a detailed version of what 'happened' that night) to protect her. Personally I don't mind when story lines get a little dark if it gives the characters more depth that is realistic and aids the plot line. But this is so messed up and I don't see how anyone would be okay with him being a love interest. I will say, the main character did have better reactions to the rape than I ever expected, with her being furious and wanting to cry and her thoughts about being defiled and anger at the guy. Either way, I wish I could get my money back for this route. It was the only and the first one I got so I can't say anything about the other two but I will not be wasting more of my money to find out.
Визуальная детективная новелла, без русской локализации. Судя по первой главе, намечается неплохая история. Но разработчик немного слукавил, что игра бесплатная. Историю каждого персонажа нужно покупать. Я не ярый фанат новелл, поэтому от покупки воздержался. Но могу сказать, что история начинается многообещающе и она там не одна. Думаю, для любителей новелл вполне сойдёт. Ну и, конечно же, не помешает знание английского языка)
Should have been labeled as free demo, not free to play. Free to pay is more accurate. I don't mind paying for content. However, I'd rather pay a one time fee and be done. I get upkeep costs but when you add up all the "small fees" its easy to see its a gacha game. The story is good but so are other otome, with one time fees and still updating content. Spend your time and money on one of them.
Until there is a proper walkthrough or guarantee to get a decent end (because the developer/publisher has repeatedly just said "it's tricky" instead of offering a walkthrough, let alone hints); this becomes impossible/completely pointless. That's ignoring the ridiculous payment situation you're in, if you decide to keep playing. There is no way to "buy all" of any one character, or all of the main stories, or all of the unpurchased stories, etc. There is no "add to cart", either. You have to manually purchase each story of each character. And that's just tedious and ridiculous. Having to make 6/7 purchases per character (if you want them all) is just asinine. When you market the game as "free to play", it makes it that much more obvious (and borderline insulting), when you have to go through these hoops just to play. This is all before even acknowledging the fact that all of the stories aren't even finished/published, yet. There are still stories/characters unfinished - which makes this even more of a ridiculous situation - it makes it pretty much impossible to sell/convince to sell for anybody. Thus, I couldn't even recommend this to anybody I actually know/respect, because I'm sure they'd hate me just as much as I've hated halfway/not even navigating this (because I haven't even read through them all, myself, due to this bs). Based on the dev/pub's notes, it's $6/Main Story, $1/Unlocked Endings, $5/POV, $2/Epilogue, $2/Secret End - making this $16/Full-Character. That's pretending that each character is fully released (again, they're not). Thus, this makes it even more obvious that it's not free, that it's not finished, and that it's difficult to purchase, let alone difficult to finish (it's been years, and it's still unfinished - that's beyond 'beta', for example). Takasuke's POV was added November 2020, while Ayumu's Epilogue was added December 2021. Those are the latest updates - years apart/ago, and nothing since. This game should not have been published/released so early. Edit: I noticed the publisher commenting on the difference between "free" and "free to play" - for one, they cite wiki for their definition. Second, even in their wiki definition, it clearly says "a significant portion of the game for free", but that's not at all what this is, either - 1-prologue + 1-chapter per character is less than 10% of the game - and that's not counting anything beyond 6-characters/12-chapters each (so it's even less when you consider additional chapters, stories, and/or characters). So that is *also* false advertising, even in their own defense.
If you want to actually play this entire game beyond the prologue and first route chapters, it's around US$96. The stories seem interesting, but not $100 interesting. Maybe if they offer some kind of bundle to unlock everything for a more reasonable fee I'll give this another shot.
Far from a FREE game Play for maybe 2 minutes and that's as far as you can get before having to pay up. Also the dialogue is cringe.
There is some serious victim blaming going on in one of the story lines. The MC won't tell anyone what happened so as to not embarass her family? What? And this while she's working for the police? Seriously? Even in the other story lines the MC is far too self deprecating. MC with a backbone? No, not really.
