I haven't played too much of it but it seems a bit skeevy to me. I skipped through the story cutscenes and dialogue because it sounded like 50 shades of gray or something, so maybe there is more to it than I am giving it credit for. The achievements seem doable so after that I will probably uninstall it. Still, I got a steam badge from writing this review, so it was not entirely time wasted.
Update ... I got a nice reply back from the developer and so I thought I'd better clarify a few things.
Yes, the game does have potential but at this stage of things I would not recommend it because I think there needs to be a bit of polishing before I get to that stage.
Good things ...
The tutorial - I think a lot of people would be lost without the information it provides. It is in the main menu, so if you want to refer to it you have to save, go out and then go back to the game. So, I think that if you could incorporate that within the game it would be better.
For example, the camera shop girl might say "I can't go to dressed like this, so you would know that she needed to have a dress. Or there could be a quest tracker in the top of her screen with the requirements and then they would get a check mark by them when you had done them (a bit like WoW does with their quests) until you had done them all and you could complete the task.
The idea itself - It's a novel idea, and so you are to be commended for that. I would have liked a "Skip all" section for the dialogue, because there was quite a lot of it, and I'm really more interested in the management aspect than the story aspects of the game. There is quite a lot of description in there and I think it takes away from the pacing of the game.
Things to consider ...
1) The arranging things in order and naming the pics / video gets a bit repetitive after a while, so for me - and I think some other people - it had limited appeal. Maybe you could add a quick edit button and title randomiser to the laptop to speed up this process. Possibly some filters/zoom option for the pictures to change things up. Because when you get to the point where you are grinding for cash for a better camera (no pun intended) then the sequencing thing day after day wears thin.
2) Some items in the shop are single use, some are multiple use. But it's hard to know which. So maybe a tooltip or filter to show which things fall under what category would be good.
3) On the map, it would be nice to be able to buy your own house and turn it into a playboy mansion by buying furnishings or clothes for your entourage. This would add extra appeal to a post game where you would have an incentive to carry on playing.
4) Selling photos does not always seem to work correctly, and you have to sell them multiple times before success.
5) It might be an idea to have a negotiate bar where you could haggle for prices and a skill to invest points in to help you get better return for your money. Maybe a skill that lets you buy items cheaper or whatever. I know that is a bit RPG like, but it might increase the depth of the game.
So hopefully that clarifies things a bit. I wish you all the success with the game and I hope it continues to grow, but at this time I don't feel I could recommend it.

Might be good, might be bad, but I can't get past the horrendous writing (complete with typos). Cannot recommend without a thorough scrubbing by a competent editor.

Terrible. Boring, click click click b.s. click a bunch of times and unlock a sleazy slideshow........ that was already unlocked in the art gallery from the start. Was almost free..... but not almost free enough. Even if it was free i would say just google some porn if your horny because this game is not fun.

When I first saw this game I thought, why not! I was curious, how could be a porn game.
Well, let me tell you, the porno game is just like a porn film, after 10 minutes you have seen already everything, gets boring and repetitive. If you are an Achievements Hunter you may play longer and try to get all of them, but I cannot recommend this game.

[b]tl;dr[/b]
Remake of an old classic (WET). Nice graphics and lots of effort. Unfortunately the inevitable minigames become boring/repetitive very fast.
Achievements doable but require time and repetitive grind.
[b]Story[/b]
After a short introduction you find yourself in this small „village“ in the middle of nowhere together with your ew acquaintance (or better pickup): Cindy
Since you need money, you decide to do porn and sell the material to the local „video“ store.
You can also ask for strip jobs, so Cindy can dance and earn you some money. After doing some talks and stabilizing relationships with the local girls you can convince them to act in your shootings/videos too.
There is no real goal in this game next to unlocking girls and buying better equipment. It is fun for some time, but sooner or later it feels too repetitive.
[b]Gameplay[/b]
Cindy is basically made for point and click gameplay.
Going to stores, interacting with people etc. is all done with mouseclicks.
Sometimes the controls seem like they’re also taken from the old game. They are a bit clunky. Example: When you enter the Video Equipment store and want to leave it, you have to click on the saleswoman first, so you have the option to exit.
When you enter the police station, you have to move the mouse on the lower part of the screen – otherwise the exit button is invisible.
All in all it is not that bad, just a bit inconvenient. Since this game feels like a remake from the old WET-Game, which is a great classic, it is endurable, although some people who do not know the original might feel pretty annoyed.
Escape basically brings you to the pause menu where you also can save/load games.
When I am at a dialogue and I hit escape, I cannot load a game. To do so, I have to exit the dialogue first. (experienced in Pawn Shop)
Also it seems you can access your inventory only when you’re outside of all buildings and look at the street – which is the actual map oversight.
After doing photoshoots or filming movies, you have to do some cutting work. Strangely you have to do the same cutting/editing work no matter if you made photos or videos.
This mandatory minigame seems like fun the first and maybe also the second time, but since your „storyline“ choices are limited, you end up doing the same thing again and again which becomes extremely boring and exhausting rather soon.
When doing a movie, you can at least skip the scenes and jump to the finished project, while doing a photoshoot requires you to click through every image. This is not that bad, but in order to be able to sell your work, you have to go to your laptop, where you are presented some screenshots from your work and you have to drag them into the correct order.
As I said, this is quite nice at first, but after doing this for the 20th time, you just want to skip it.
The props you use are influencing the money you gain from photoshoots/videos. It doesn’t matter which you use though. Would have been cool if there were some logic like „what? you wanna use a butt plug without lube?“ Or you can use 3 female costumes although you are doing a male/female scene.
Convenient:
When Cindy is stripping, I can also find her in the hotel room at the same time and do some „work“.
I find it realistic that Cyndy has limitations: only a specific amount of working hours per day because she gets tired.
My problem is this also includes other women.
Example: After filming cyndy, you cannot film kiara
I guess this is because of balancing and to not make the game too easy.
A logical issue which is no problem for the gameplay itself, but still somehow funny, so I wanted to mention it:
Props disappear after using them. This is comprehensible with stuff like lube, but I actually don’t want to know why a butt plug is disappearing. I know it is a balance thing (according to the dev, props are used to calculate the income you get from the procets) and therefore totally ok, still there is room for some weird specualtions.
If you want to change the game speed from very fast to very slow, you have to click through all the speed options (and lose a bit time). Other games provide key shortcuts here.
[b]Looks[/b]
The game’s design looks good to me. Of course it is not comparable to some bigger games out there, but I think it fits the style of the game.
Please note there are no animated scenes but only frozen images.
The women look nice and there is also some variety.
The scenes themselves are made with great effort. There are only images and no animated scenes, but the scenes look good. The models‘ quality can be seen on the steam store page preview photos very well, so you can make your own judgment if they are to your liking.
Dialogues are a bit of a mess. It is not too hard to tell who’s actually talking, but having names before the paragraphs would be more convenient.
[b]Achievements[/b]
The achievements are doable, but require some time investment and a whole lot of repeating those boring minigames.
[b]Pros[/b]
[list][*]nice atmotsphere
[*]nostalgic feeling for admirers of the old original
[*]women look nice[/list]
[b]Cons[/b]
[list][*]some annoying design flaws (see description above)
[*]extremely annoying minigame (fun at first but exhausting after a few times)
[*][/list]
[b]Conclusion[/b]
Cool and heartwarming remake of WET combined with some inconveniences.
Although I don’t regret buying it, I cannot recommend this game to others. Not with all those flaws included.
If you are unsure if you shall buy it, just do it. If you cannot bear the disadvantages I have mentioned, you will realise it quite fast and can still refund it.

[b]Is it easy to get to the NSFW scenes?[/b]
In a way, yes, you can access the scenes without even finishing the game, but where's the fun in that, right?
[b]Are the NSFW scenes worth it?[/b]
There are different scenes, not animated. But they're average.
[b]How is the gameplay?[/b]
Gameplay works more like a sim game. You have to experiment around and build your business to collect money, but it's mostly clicking away and and experimenting until you get it. Not a lot of strategy involved, just menial grinding that quickly turns unfun.
[b]How about the story?[/b]
Story is quite straightforward and utilizes the usual plot from porn that makes no sense. You're a guy who a girl suddenly wants to make porn business and voila. That's it. Writing wise also quite rudimentary.
[b]Verdict[/b]
A pass from me, although some people might find the sim element fun.

[b][i]Cyndy[/i] is a particular style of game that is fairly common on Itch, but I've never found on Steam.[/b] And I'm glad to see it here - and also happy to report that this has a good bit of content and game play compared to other similar titles. First and foremost you should know that this type of game is the closest thing to video game pornography that you are really going to find. Is [i]Cyndy[/i] ridiculously rough around the edges in every way? Yes. The writing is horrible, the story cliche, the interface janky - but I don't care because something this crazy is only possible thanks to indie games. And it's fun.
[i]Essentially, this is a visual novel with some light game elements.[/i] You have to earn money via doing some questionable things with questionable people. You collect adult novelty items and do photo and video shoots. Equipment can be upgraded for a higher profit. You will also try to charm some of the locals. We have a day and night cycle. There is in-game mod support which I hope gets expanded, but for such a niche game - only time will tell. I won't hold my breath.
[b]Pros:[/b]
+There is a good bit of content
+Hopefully the in-game mod support expands
+Too weird to live, too rare to die
[b]Cons:[/b]
-Oh yes there are typos, grammar errors, stereotypical story plots, UI issues, and many more rough edges
[b]Cheers to indie games![/b]

If you ever played Wet: The Sexy Empire (also known as Lula: The Sexy Empire) then you will love this game. It's basically an almost exact copy of the first part of that game. However it doesn't have the second or third part. Nevertheless, I am happy this game was made as I loved playing Wet: The Sexy Empire a long time ago.
In this game you are basically the manager of Cyndy to produce porn. The game has a nice management/tycoon feel to it just like the original game. Every day you need to pay rent, produce movies or picture sets and buy better equipment or hire actors. The game consists of still images only, so don't expect actual animated sex scenes.

[b][i]The funny erotic quest + business simulation + visual novel. This game reminds me of Lula: The Sexy Empire/Wet: The Sexy Empire (1998).[/i][/b]
You start up in a little town with only a phone in your pocket. You have to do erotic photos and sexually explicit video, sell and earn money.
If you've spent all your money, you can beat up the strip club visitors in the toilet and take the stolen items to the pawnshop or asking Cyndy to strip at the local bar. When you'll finally make some money, you can buy camera and camcorder. Then you can get into the erotic movie-making business, put together storyboards and edit films.
+ Cute girls
+ Sex scenes without censorship
+ Day/night cycle
+ Mod support
If you like simulation games and boobs, then I recommend you play this game!
