Synopsis
Once a Porn a Time is a RenPy point and click adventure.
Story
You found an abandoned planet to salvage, at least that sounds so much better than scavenge, but hey, it's a living. You find a fairy in a jar. It must be real, if you were dreaming she'd be naked.
The fairy turns out to be none other than Tinker Bell, or at least a representation of her. She is one of the remnant of an entertainment plant that went bankrupt. Tinker Bell wants your help to recreate the planet and succeed where the previous owner failed.
Gameplay
The main thing is that you need to set your expectations for this game up front. While this game uses the RenPy engine, it is more of a point and click game than a visual novel.
After the legal stuff you are asked to name the main male character, there is no default and you will not have a name if you do not enter one. Basic game play is to visit the women that you currently have available, or at least the ones with tasks to advance, and then play the drone mini game to advance time.
The drone mini game is a major part of the game. You will need to play it to gather resources and obtain quest objects. Your drone has a number of action points. You see a representation of the world, two dots, a circle, two dots, a circle, two dots, a circle, and one dot. The dots have a chance to be able to find something, the circles have a guaranteed find. The circles will fill in once you get to the previous circle, to give you an idea of what you might find there. Searching requires two actions points and there is a random advance for one action point. The random advance will advance your drone from one to three spaces, this can cause you to miss a circle, or not move far enough to get to the next circle. You also need to save one action point for your return trip. If you run out of action points you will lose everything you collected. Later in the game you will be able to increase the number of action point and carry emergency reserve points in case you run out. I played the mini game over 100 times, so that should give you an idea on the length of the game. The automated drones return, with no reward, if they are out when you exit the game. So, bring them in before you save the game.
There are two additional parts of the game that you will have to answer riddles and fill in the blank. The riddles are part of the Sphinx character path. If you don't know the answers they are easy enough to find online, or there is a guide with them. The fill in the blanks are completing a phrase to open boxes you find with your drone. As with the riddles, you can find the answers online or use a guide.
As you progress with the different characters you will create more outfits and hairstyles for them. After you have created some outfits and hairstyles, you will be able to "dress" the characters in the different outfits that they have available.
The game has Snow White, Frozen (Astria and Elsa), and Rapunzel as characters and Tinker Bell as the CEO++ of the planet. Along with a few other characters. The scenes with the main character have the main character represented as a disembodied member. Not my personal favorite representation.
The English is good, with only a few grammar and misspelling errors.
The Gallery
There are three different Galleries, Quest images, Data images, and Character Affinity images. There are 25 Quest images, two are variations of the same image. The Quest images are unlocked as you complete quests in the game. The Data images are unlocked by finding Image Data, or purchasing Image Data, in the Drone mini game. The Data images are for characters that are not a part of the game (Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella). There are seven Data images to unlock, the last one is dependent on your quest progress and is "free". There are eight Affinity images. Affinity images are unlocked by advancing your relationships with your coworkers (Tinker Bell, Astrid, and Milessandre)
Final Verdict
An enjoyable adult point and click adventure game featuring characters from fairy tales. Snow White, Astrid and Elsa from Frozen, and Rapunzel. This is a slow burn and not a quick romp.
