ReviewWelcome to Free Will has a good start to it with the first episode and is looking promising. The story is interesting as are the characters. It balances the mystery with the lewd scenes well. The main character does come off as a bit whiny so far, he complains a lot about how his family didn’t contact him for four years but then again he doesn’t see the fact that he also never called them as a negative or his fault. The lewd scenes are well done I will add. There is a good amount of choices so far. The mini games are decent and break up the usual game play. The diary feature is well done and hilarious. The art is great with the exception of the model for the pizza which looked gross and low quality. I will also say that some of the women have proportions which seem a tad unrealistic but others such as Niki and Moone are great.

I played Welcome to Free Will on Linux. It never crashed on me but there are at least three spelling/grammar errors I found. You can manually save any time you want and there are 54 save slots. Alt-Tab didn’t work.

Overall I enjoyed the first episode and look forward to more. I finished it in 114 minutes. It is a bit short but at the same time it is free and it also does what an intro episode is supposed to which is make you want more and introduce the world both of which it did well. If future episodes are this good I would easily pay money for them.
