In case you don’t know, HunieCam Studio is about managing cam girls. Don’t worry though, as the only NSFW things shown on screen are small illustrations of sex toys and some tags like big tits or anal written here and there; for the rest, the game is very casual.
A playthrough is about an hour long so I’ve obviously beaten on my first try. Did some other run before posting because I wanted to feature any of those achievements with those dick-shaped trophies earned for beating the game within certain conditions.
Had this on my wishlist, almost bought it during summer sales. I didn’t and grabbed on Tremor but it still felt like I overpaid it.

It looked good from store but, sadly, game turned out to be quite different.
First of all, the 21 days limit. You have 21 in-game days to get as many fans as you can (why not money though?). That is very limiting; sure, you can continue playing after that deadline but you can unlock everything (or most of it) before it so it doesn’t make much sense.
I was hoping for one of those facebook-like games (like the Tribez and such1) but given the short amount of time you’re given, the game’s basically turned into a clicker game. You’re not required to click anything but you’re recommended to if you want to get a nice score. Other than clicks, you move girls around, buy ads/updates, and repeat. That’s it :\
I’m kind of disappointed as I was expecting more.. as it is now it may be entertaining for a single playthrough (and even so you may start to get bored before the end), perhaps even a second one to see how much you could improve your result once you get how things works but I feel like it’s not enough anyway.

Apart from a grinding achievement (unlock all dresses and hairstyles for all girls) the remaining looks unlockable in 1-2 playthrough but I don’t know if I want to get ‘em and ruin that perfect percentage ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  1. I’ve always labeled them as “time management” but, after playing 12 Labours of Hercules, looks like they’re not. By the way, if you happen to know such games, please, tell me. Thanks :)

I ended up playing HunieCam for the first time today and yeah, I agree with you. I liked the money part, but the fans seemed weird to accumulate, and same as you said, the clicking was really annoying, especially when I couldn’t click more until I collected all the resources from that building first.

As for time management games, I’d suggest This War of Mine and Beholder.
In This War of Mine, the limited time and the need to scavenge for resources made it feel really cool, but stressful at the same time. It took me around 12 hours to complete a successful playthrough, although there are a couple of random events where you can leave earlier if you meet certain requirements.
I didn’t complete a successful playthrough of Beholder, but it’s similar to This War of Mine in terms of collecting resources and time management. Certain events are triggered depending on how you play and there are a lot of ways to play a landlord in dystopian city.

Yup, could have been a much better experience :\

Thanks for your suggestions :) Actually, This War of Mine is in my Top 5 games to play (while Beholder “only” in Top100) =P
I must have misphrased though, what I’m looking for are games where the time-management component is not important.. sorry, I don’t know how to explain :\
If you ever played fb games (I keep saying The Tribez because is the last I’ve played, forgot others’ names) you may have noticed that there isn’t the time-bar typical of time management, because (being F2P) they give you limited energy to spend everyday. Plus, being a social game, relies on friends to boost this aspect. Of course you need time to build structures, but that’s another story.
I’m looking for something like that, without the stress of doing everything as quick as possible and possibly without battles.. if it’s a paid game is even better, so that the “limited-energy” aspect disappears.. you know, something to play every now and then to relax, just construct something, collect everything and not worry about anything else =P
I think Banished fits but I’m not sure as I never played it.

Hope I’ve explained it a bit better >_<
