Fall 4 Love is an interactive adult visual novel game, it's based on the Twine engine in Sugarcube format.
The story is totally creative and has multiple branching paths. There are no wrong choices or abrupt game overs, so enjoy yourself in the way you want to most.
I'm primarily writing a review to help people with the urine issues. As far as the game itself goes, it would be incredibly easy to add a urine on/off option, but I'm guessing that the developer really likes incontinence. For those of you like me who wish not to play an "incontinence simulator" you can fix this easily yourself. Open the game html file in notepad (or even better, notepad++ or a code editor like VSC)

A good corruption game, story is about a young man not knowing much of the world being trapped in the clutches of a big pharma with no help from even his parents as his biological mother hates him, possibly because she wanted a girl. Mechansims about mind and body are well laid out, if you excercise less you lose testestrome and so on. Whole world wants to corrupt the young man into a trans woman who can get pregnant. He can only delay the inevitable but this is a world full of corruption anyways with not even help from his biological mother who hates him to death.
This game COULD be excellent and it wouldn't take a lot of work to make it so. Instead, it wound up infuriating me more than anything, with how I seemed to LIVE in the toilet. I was constantly pressing the back buttons just to rescue myself from a wet bed, or clothing. Which is something else.
Just because, I suppose -- Don't ask me why I did it, because I abhore the smell of urine, as well as the thought of it -- but just because, I just plain ignored the toilet ... completely, I didn't even shower. I did it for two solid weeks in game time with me never once getting the option for nappies, much less having Mummy, who's Daddy, or the witch that passes for my other Mummy sticking me in them. Could it be someone's missing that boat?
I couldn't care less about bladder control and very probably wouldn't give it a second thought, until I didn't have it. Can't you give those of us who want to play this intrigueing game without it, a switch to turn it off? PLEASE?
I can't agree with the review previous to mine more. You seem to spend your life in the toilet, or wetting the bed, or your pants constantly. I realise there are people who are incontinent, or even get off on incontinence, but the game assumes a great deal more than simple incontinence. Suck a dick, or look at piccies of someone sucking cock and you're into water sports, which happens to be pissing not cocksucking, and maybe enemas, if you don't count an enema as scat play.
Cross-dress and you lose your mental stat, not intelligence, so I'm not sure what that's supposed to be, but suddenly you become incapable of logical conversations, even though you're branded a genius according to the in game tracking system. It's like you become a prisoner in your mind. You know what you WANT to say, but your mental stat is just too low ... or too high to say it. Are we, perchance talking dominance and subservience? Either way, it drove me up the wall. How is wearing a skirt subservient in this fictional society, or how does it make me less capable of holding a conversation? Why is being kind seen when one tries to be diplomatic seen as subservient? BIMBOS lose intelligence, but you aren't losing intelligence, you're losing your ability to converse and even argue.
Why do you lose the ability to converse, because you're cross-dressing? In the world of the game, becoming more feminine, rather than less, would, at least in my mind, mean you're climbing the social ladder, not descending it, so that you can become a lowly sex toy -- which is basically what a bimbo is. She's a living, breathing, unthinking, cock and jizz hungry slut. So, because I got a tat, I lose on mental stat. Because I chose lingerie, to support my growing bosom, which, at least to me, was an intelligent choice, I lose the ability to converse? You're being feminised, so you wind up a prisoner in your mind? HELLO!
If someone kicks you in the balls, does that mean you like pain? Your mum tells you how she's actually your father and how your actual mother insisted your femme father be castrated so that your actual mother would never be able to give birth again, instead of having her tubes tied, so that malkes you want castration? I'm sorry, but someone's missing the boat. That's another nail in my actual mother's coffin! Once I've recovered from being kicked, I'd be going for blood, by plotting an accident somewhere/somehow -- a very bloody accident. What's more, I'd hate my actual mother even more than I already do for how miserably the witch treats me. Instead, the character in the game starts to like it? I guess I'm a complete and utter failure as a masochist. Hurt me and I want to murder you. I want to visit upon you three times the pain you caused. No, I am not a sadist. I actually have a conscience. Having the vet put a pet down causes me anguish I would much rather avoicd. A sadist would injure the pet because it's fun.
You spend what seems like half the time you're playing the game in the toilet and that terrifies you as well as humiliates you, yet it NEVER turns you on? I thought that wee was what made someone into water sports randy. Weeing in one's pants and weeing on your partner are the objectives of water sports. Wee your pants and you're put into nappies for adult baby play. Nappies and Wee are NOT my thing and they play a very BIG part in the game, yet they seem to have no point. Who's the mummy who is to change my nappies? Another missed boat.
If there were a simple on/off toggle for watersports and bathroom play, it would improve the game greatly. As there isn't a diaper or nappies flag, or adult baby flag, give us a chance to avoid it ... PLEASE. I want to help that escapee as well as have her do me with that winner of a cock of hers!
Except for her scars, the "girl" escapee I'm caring for is hot, yet I only sleep next to her once and I never have any real dialogue with her, regardless of how close i get. All I do is play ... and win game after game after game of boring hangman as my affection climbs, yet I still get nowhere. I'd be better off trying to seduce my actual mother who hates me just for being born male.
"Dungeons?" Well, in my struggles not to be running around wet, I became VERY familiar with the ruddy back button, so I never found them. I'm one of those people everyone tends to hate, I got good marks without ever trying. I never studied and I actually broke the curve, so my natural inclinations are to be a "good girl" and be on time and that was frustrating, yet doable -- WITH the back button.
I have a mobile phone, as well as a task to call the receptionist at PharmaFem. HOW DO YOU DIAL THE RUDDY PHONE WHEN THERE IS NO LINK TO DO SO? Two weeks I've had that task for a quest so far and excpet for masturbation and for my supposed Girlfriend to give me a bell. I can answer it, but I can't even find it to dial out! I might as well not have the ruddy thing! My question is, why use it for masturbation? In this modern society, no-one has an actual computer? You only use your mobile in your bedroom, unless your GF is keeping tabs on you. Viewing the images in your mobile, which is a minuscule fraction of the size of a real computer screen, falsely advances your fetishes, as well! Those images ROT anyway. The VERY FEW images I can see clearly don't do anything for me, except turn me off.
As for needing "relief" -- for those of you who are old enough, I do not mean, the Plop, Plop, Fizz, Fizz, sort of relief -- I'm certain the game tracks it, it tracks everything else, but unless I go looking for it in your too small, way too compressed pie-charts, I have no clue how ruddy randy I am, much less just how much I suposedly like chastity, orgasm control, bondage, castration, water sports and other things I really find turn-offs. To view those, I actually have to change my screen resolution to have a CLUE which fetishes I supposedly like, since the popup screen doesn't scroll, unless I scroll out in my browser, making the text unreadable. HOW I like MOST of them is beyond me, when I really don't even want to see them! As far as I know, I DIDN'T see them. Then again, I couldn't tell you what I saw, with how badly mangled most of the images my porn app in my handy were. Of them, I suppose there are people who want to look that way, but ... they just make my blood run cold. Some of those girls no longer appear human, they've mangled themselves so very badly ... I think. The quality of the images is so bad, I can't really tell.
I can play for about a day in game time, before the scrips in the game drag my system to its knees and mine has a dual quad core processor system running at over 4 G.Hz. that works perfectly. Two four G.Hz. processors. I'll grant you, I only have 12Gig. or RAM, but that's a fair amount. The game shouldn't all but kill my system, which means there's an issue with the scripts somewhere. Could it possibly be the toitie tracking, or are you tracking too much for Twine to cope?
As for the images -- other than the art for the characters in the game, which happens to be first rate -- THEY ROT. Everything has been blurred and smeared so you can't see a ruddy thing and what you can see is a VERY far cry from ... viewable, attractive in the slightest, or pleasurable. For a sex game, or even an erotic game, they are a HUGE detractor and a major turn off, when the object is to be turned on. There are PLENTY of sexy art piccies out there that can be used, why not use those, instead of mangling stuff that doesn't even appear as if it would be attractive if they weren't so badly ruined?
Worse, the dialogue images for your conversations with your escapee friend, are so small and with the font being a cursive font, you can't read them. If the images were allowed to scale with the pages and were set up that way, when coding, you wouldn't need to zoom the page in and out just to read them, which also wreaks havoc with trying to read the stats pages.
It seems as if the writer does not speak English natively and there were times I had no clue what they were trying to say, since their word choice was not ... optimal. I have no clue about their French, as I don't speak the language, but they definitely need a proof reader and writer for the English portion of the game. It almost felt like someone used one of those on-line translation routines for the English sometimes.
This game really COULD be great. Instead, it doesn't even rank as middling and is more an irritant, than a means of arousing me. Sorry, but it needs some serious work.
And now I feel like a real shite for giving an honest opinion. This game took a lot of work. A huge amount, I'm certain. The character art is fantastic ... what little there is of it. What's more, I'm certain it could be refined into an excellent game if the dev. would just stop tracking useless crud and fetishes that are so very niche almost no-one wants them, if the reviews are any indication. As it stands, the game's title should be, Hold Your Water, not Fall for Love.
Hrmm... I wanted to like this but.
Urination management is dull and increasingly irritating.
The core game loop is one of those "who do you want to disappoint" mechanics.
I befriend the escapee and am now locked into more games of hangman than I would ever want to play, let alone play again.
I am late a few times and get thrown into the dungeon. This is a nice twist. Except I am now in an even tighter and apparently more meaningless game loop.
Oh and my mobile still worked but apparently I couldn't tell my maybe-girlfriend that I am locked in a dungeon and can't make our date. Or her mother that her attempts to seduce me are likely to fail, because I am presently locked in a dungeon.
I got bored and stoped playing.
The dice game with one of the other test ladies was interesting but took quite a while to play each time and I didn't get any sense of reward from winning. Perhaps I was not meant to.
