Through the Lens

[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38888018-United-Critics/] Please follow [b]United Critics[/b] for quality reviews[/url] [h2]Through the Lens Review[/h2] Paris – The Land of Photographs & Cigarettes Follow the journey of an American photographer who goes to Paris for work at a company called Mirage Corp. But the longer he works for them, and the longer he reads the mysterious cursed book given by someone anonymous. Secrets start to unravel - past and present start to collide. [h1]Story - Content[/h1] Through the Lens is an early access visual novel that takes around 1.30H to complete. The game features our main protagonist moving to Paris for work, and the longer he works, the odder the whole place feels. The game got 4 days, which are played throughout two chapters, being around 1.30H. Storywise, there isn’t really any kind of deep or interesting story. The cursed book that the protagonist finds is just a story from the developer's earlier game (4 Kingdoms Supremacy). Then the rest is simply answering/questioning characters that our protagonist talks to, which, if he chooses the correct answer/question, there is a chance you’ll see a special or secret scene. Later in the game, closer to the end of it, the protagonist is informed about their next photo shoot with the models and that they are going to dress up for NSFW titles and will have to show a bit more nudity than told. And of course, those NSFW titles are then the developer's two other games (Brooks in Wild West and 4 Kingdoms Supremacy), giving the feeling they just made a game to promote their other two games instead, due to the lack of quality and story in this game. And the game itself contains so many odd things and errors; for example, after finishing the game and pressing on to start a whole new session, the protagonist's name is (Balls) which I did not choose. I state DID NOT CHOOSE. I can’t remember if I was able to name the protagonist during my first playthrough, but I do not recall his name being (Balls) back then either. Also, every word that contains the ( ‘ ), like doesn’t, didn’t, haven’t, can’t, I'm, you’re - skips three spaces behind the ( ‘ ), making it look like; doesn’ t, didn’ t, haven’ t, can’ t, I' m, you’ re. Which is, overall, just odd—why it is like that and how it was not fixed before the game release. I would recommend playing the developer’s other games like (Brooks in Wild West) or (4 Kingdoms Supremacy) since both of those have a lot more content, are cheaper, or are at least worth their price for the amount of content and story and action/intimacy happening and the quality of such as well. And from what I've experienced with these Developer's newest game, I simply cannot recommend it. [h1]Visual & Audio[/h1] [b][u]Visuals[/u][/b] [u]Graphics/Environment[/u] The game added a lot of detailing for rooms and parts within the building/apartment. Making it more than just a room with people in it. But a home, an office, a village, all the small details give the game more life and a better feeling while playing. But ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the mugs are overly huge. And I do mean HUUUUUGE. Also, one cool but also a bit creepy thing is that the characters blink during normal convo scenes. And not like small animation -> freeze -> conversation; no, they keep blinking during your convo. So if you're stuck reading one of the texts that are a bit longer, you will see them blink without going to the next scene. The only issue (besides being creepy) is that they blink a bit too often; maybe slow it down a little, and it should seem more normal. [u]Intimate Scenes[/u] The intimate scenes, which are said to be “improved” since their other games, aren’t that true. Rather, it looks worse than their earlier games, one of which I've reviewed and the other my colleague, which both had better animations than this game. The intimate scenes look like the game itself is lagging or like watching porn with a very bad connection. [b][u]Audio[/u][/b] [u]Music[/u] The background music is a chill jazz and goes from guitar to bass to piano. Sounds similar to other games that use the same music, but it fits well in the game and for the selective scenes. [u]Sound Effects[/u] The intimate sound effects don’t match up with the animations whatsoever and only make the whole thing odder than attractive. [h1]Pros and Cons[/h1] [b][u]Pros[/u][/b] [list][*] Visuals/Graphics [*] Music [*] Character Looks [/list] [b][u]Cons[/u][/b] [list][*] Price [*] Story [*] The Words Containing ( ‘ ) [*] Sound Effects [*] Animations [*] Intimate Animations [*] Cannot Change Name (Unsure If The Possibility Is There or Not, But The Protagonist's Name Is Balls...)[/list] [h1]My Final Little Thoughts[/h1] From what I have seen during my time playing and replaying the game, I do not find it recommended at its current state and would rather even recommend their earlier games instead. There are too many cons and errors to the game, which, for its price and content-wise length, just isn’t worth it at this current moment. But who knows if they’ll fix what I mention here later or if it’s to be forgotten and left behind?

One hour of play, then just ends weirdly.

[h2] 游戏介绍[/h2] 《Through the Lens》（透过镜头）是由PiggyNose Games游戏工作室所打造的一款浪漫与悬疑交织的成人向视觉小说。玩家将会扮演一位年轻的摄影师去揭开巴黎一家神秘的摄影公司背后的秘密，还要探索隐藏在古老书籍的中世纪传说，这是一场过去与现实交织的奇幻冒险。游戏目前处于EA阶段，并且不支持中文，不过好在游戏内的文本量不大，稍微有些英语基础就可以了解游戏的剧情。 [h2] 剧情简介 [/h2] 在一个阴雨延绵的上午你独自一人坐在了机场的候机大厅，你是一位年轻的专业摄影师，因为某些原因你不得不远赴巴黎进入的Mirage Corp时尚公司入职，在那里开启一段新的职业生涯。Mirage Corp是一家新晋的时尚公司，公司有很多职员和模特，而你要做的就是负责这些模特的拍摄工作，每天你都会在拍摄的工作与各司其职的同事接触，一开始你觉得这感觉还不错，但是慢慢你会发现这家公司似乎还有着不为人知的一面。与此同时你搬进了在巴黎的住所，这里有一个美女邻居苏菲，每天你都都会见面甚至还会发生性关系。在你整理行李的时候，你发现了一本名为《阿尔丹传奇》的古籍，每次当你阅读这本书的时候，仿佛就进入了书中描绘的中世纪世界，书中一个名叫阿尔丹的男孩在父亲惨遭杀害后，寻求复仇和荣誉。这个世界里的一些角色的面孔甚至和现实中遇到的人面孔一样，这是巧合吗？两个世界又有什么联系？两个世界的秘密都在等着你去揭晓。 [h2] 游玩感受 [/h2] 本作是一款典型由选项驱动故事发展的视觉小说作品，目前游戏仅有两个章节开放，所以暂时还是比较线性的剧情推进，选项则是会影响人际关系和色情场景的触发。比较有意思的是，与其他作品不同，本作在玩家进入游戏前会有一段问答和演示环节，由一男一女两人分别讲解游戏的主要玩法和成人场景展示，如果玩家确认没有问题才能正式进入游戏。游戏中有较多的选项，但是大部分对于游戏的主线剧情没有影响，如果觉得这个选项不合适，还有用鼠标滚轮回滚重新选择。游戏中包含两个世界的主线剧情，但是目前的内容并没有特别说明两个世界的联系，仅根据出场角色面孔一致进行了判断。两个世界的剧情分别在白天和夜晚推进，白天在公司推进调查Mirage Corp时尚公司，晚上睡前阅读进入中世纪世界。[b]个人感觉中世纪的部分更有趣一些。 [/b] [h2] 成人内容 [/h2] 游戏中包含很多色情场景，其中很多都是借由选项推进，根据玩家选择是否触发。游戏的3D建模比较水准中等偏上，不过CG成人动画感觉不是特别流畅，尽管没有配音，但是游戏的BGM很好的烘托了场景氛围，而且有呻吟娇喘吸吮和水声的音效，甚至在一些非成人场景中也做了音效处理，让玩家玩起来更有沉浸感。主要的成人元素包括口交，乳交，肛交，足交等等，还是蛮丰富的。 [h2] 总结 [/h2] 本作的成人内容颇多，但是由于故事并不完整，建议玩家可以等待更新或者打折入手为佳。 [quote]欢迎关注[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/37516409/]小柠檬咖啡厅[/url]，只为发掘优秀的游戏 [/quote]

"Through the Lens" ? Pas grand-chose à se mettre sous la dent. À part Camille, et peut-être Léa : double trame, AVN qui perd en puissance (début correcte, milieu poussif, fin actuelle étrange). "Through the Lens" est un AVN court et en accès anticipé. Animations vieillottes et images en dessous du marché, transitions trop rapides et choix qui n'en sont pas, thème fantastique / moderne déjà-vu, HUD lourd et skip pas assez rapide. 8,09€ ? Trop cher pour l'instant. Est-ce que je recommande "Through the Lens" ? Non, non commandé pour l'instant. 🔴🔴⚪️⚪️⚪️ Rapport qualité/prix 🔴🔴⚪️⚪️⚪️ Expérience vidéoludique 🔴🔴🔴🔴⚪️ Fidèle aux images de vente 🔴🔴⚪️⚪️⚪️ Durée de jeu 🔴🔴🔴⚪️⚪️ Gameplay 🔴⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️ Captures d'écran prises 🔴🔴⚪️⚪️⚪️ Images, esthétique 🔴🔴⚪️⚪️⚪️ Tonalité, colorimétrie 🔴🔴⚪️⚪️⚪️ Modèles féminins 🔴🔴⚪️⚪️⚪️ Têtes, visages 🔴🔴⚪️⚪️⚪️ Expressions, attitudes 🔴🔴⚪️⚪️⚪️ Vêtements 🔴🔴⚪️⚪️⚪️ Lingerie 🔴⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️ Talons hauts 🔴🔴⚪️⚪️⚪️ Qualité du contenu +18 🔴🔴🔴⚪️⚪️ Quantité du contenu +18 🔴🔴⚪️⚪️⚪️ Fluides, sécrétions 🔴🔴⚪️⚪️⚪️ Animations 🔴🔴⚪️⚪️⚪️ Transitions 🔴🔴🔴⚪️⚪️ Histoire, récits 🔴🔴⚪️⚪️⚪️ Choix narratifs

Yes, I know I am reviewing this AVN as early access, but I can't see it getting much better as it is fairly linear at this point and forced into relationships you may not be interested in. In addition, the graphics are poor and lack detail. I am going to get a refund on this AVN as I have already lost interest in the story. If you are looking for good AVNs on Steam, I recommend: Acting Lessons, City of Broken Dreamers, Depraved Awakenings, Leap of Faith, Sisterly Lust, and Tales from the Unending Void.

内容非常少，不推荐现在购买。

This wasn't bad, a decent story overall. I liked the book so you got a taste of fantasy to go with the present. The models are hot and the renders good but the animations could use some work. They're a bit slow and basic. Overall, I liked it.

I enjoyed the story so far. My only gripe is that the 'sex' noises sounded a bit unrealistic (like someone had plunged their hand into a barrel of custard). All in all, good first part.

Спасибо За Игру, жаль только 2 главы, жду продолжения)

B (EA) Girls: B+ Claire is the main girl and very nice. The rest are just as good, but not as prevalent. Scenes: B+ Dated, but still pretty good animations. The SFX is a little distracting, but better than no SFX. Mechanics: B- Pretty standard AVN but with choices that matter - if you make the wrong choices, you might not end up with all the girls... pretty short though and clear when you don't make choices that they like, but unlike real life you can roll back! :) Bottom Line: At the end of CH2, felt I had gotten a good start to a story with the start of a harem. Interested to see what happens next. Visually not as good as many other AVNs, but the story will keep me interested for now.
