Femme Fatality

i love killing men

Too busy. Drops you into the game with little information. Time runs constantly, so learning the game just sets you back. Difficult to figure out how exactly the real mini-games are going to play out after reading about them or for how long it runs. I see that there are advanced options and skills that you unlock to streamline the game, but the inbox portion just felt boring right off the bat anyway. No real point in locking things that streamline monotony. Like school forcing you to do math without a calculator until you do enough homework. Constant information hitting you is supposed to amp you up for this, I guess, but to me, it just feels like a lack of consideration for the player, and more of choice to play towards the aesthetic. The whole thing feels more about the aesthetic experience than the gameplay experience, and it's very disappointing that a good combination of both can't be had. Will try to swallow more of the game, as I do enjoy the concept, but the initial experience did was not very pleasant.

Another awesome game from Jeistar The game is really enjoyable, just a looooooot going on like maybe too much at times. However the minigames are really fun other than the rhythm game I did struggle with that a tad. I really anticipated this game and I love the pieces of lore and quirky comments that are often given. I think this game is really enjoyable and is my 2nd favourite of Jeistar's games. Keep up the good work 10/10 <3

This is avant-garde, psychedelic, post-Y2K, post-vaporwave, all ART. The gameplay is a meta-commentary on how procedural contract killing can be and how affording "Nice things" becomes as mundane and meaningless as the task of researching faceless targets or reading fan mail. Making the art of killing no more exciting than a desk job. This is not an endorsement of the gameplay! The gameplay is a means to the end of the art, to give pauses of air between snippets of the self-obsessed, misandrist, psychopathic killer's internalized monologue. It would be almost humanizing if it weren't Helena's vacuous lifestyle and her diseased superiority complex fueled by her inferiority complex. The author/developer even cautions the reader, noting aside during her more insidious inclinations to advise against sympathising with Helena. I believe that the gameplay itself is created to put the player in a frenetic state of panic that would make you understand Helena's motivations. The gameplay is a means to an end in this artistic endeavour, not for the player's enjoyment. It creates disquiet to meld you with the state Helena must be in. Taken at face value, there is no gameplay but a series of button-mashing, quicktime events, memory tests, time management, and resource management. Then there is the music. The music draws you in like the siren that it is, lulling you into a sense of flow. If you ever let yourself be drawn into a flow during repetitive tasks like working out, programming, building, writing, etc while listening to songs that catch you; well, if you know you know... The music is sublime in this manner, striking this precise chord. The character models give me PS1 - PS2 / early Persona/anime vibes. To me: Femme Fatality is like an artistic meta commentary on being a woman today with social media / female competitiveness / male-female dynamics / the purpose and fulfillment of work / contradictions of characters / facelessness of parasocial relationships. So who would this be for anyway? Fans of the developer's other game, Liminal Void, to learn more lore of Helena. It's for people who want a unique experience in non-linear storytelling. It's for people who love to explore different styles of art. Those who want to support a talented artist. At the time of this review, I haven't been able to fully unlock the story and am on my 4th Era. (Eras are like, but not like a new game + or a reset of an incremental game.) I intend to explore more.

A scream of frustration, angst, anger, bitterness, and a love of nice things all wrapped up in a classic, dirty cyberpunk aesthetic that's simultaneously of an era yet timeless. Not gonna be for everyone, but I had a great time.

Yeah, this ♥♥♥♥ is peak. You like Warioware? Play this ♥♥♥♥. You like Hitman? Play this ♥♥♥♥. You like Monster Hunter? Play this ♥♥♥♥. You get home from work and are looking for something to play for 2.3 hours? Play this ♥♥♥♥.

loud, busy, bitcrushed, chopped and screwed. dope incremental-ish game with minigames and mixed media stuff reminding me of some other raw ass indie titles. very cool and LOTS going on visually. good way of taking out anger on men (derogatory)

over the top edgy y2k swag, basically femcel warioware. big fan of this one
