I was going to pass on this when I first saw it, but downloaded it out of boredom ....

I am SO Happy I did!!!

interesting story, kept me involved for the whole time

LI's are great, so glad you used smaller chested models and not just giant chested ones

hard to pick my favorites, lean toward the smaller chested ones (personal opinion)

and the last addition of Misty is great (never thought a spider girl could be so cute)

Looking forward to more

Good luck
Thank you!

I'm glad Misty is joining the crowd. She is cute, and it is nice to have a LI who is a bit more of a monster than normal.
Just hope we won't see her in her spider form cause I have arachnophobia. She's hot but man imagine she switches :LOL: I would shit myself :cry: I really love this game by the way, I was scared to play it at first but didn't regret trying it :)

This is really quite good and I enjoyed it a lot; the mixing of Greek mythology with Japanese mythology with Christian mythology was a bit weird, but the story set pieces showed a lot of originality and actually invested me in wanting more.

Three suggestions:

1) It wasn't until approximately 50% of the way through playing that I noticed that some scenes play / have animations after text and pressing the space bar (to get to the next dialogue) skips them. VN players are conditioned to mash the space-bar to move the story on, you need to stop them from doing so if you've spent the time on scenes. So, please give a visual indicator that a scene is about to play so that players don't skip them! Up to that point I was a bit... well, mystified why there were dialogue gaps / lack of exposition etc.

2) Pick a penis model & stick to it - the MC started off with a rather upward curved look (original and unusual to see) then moved towards the "straight plank 4x4" model. Personally, the curved model worked better.

3) At the moment it doesn't appear that skipping scenes leads to alternative paths (I only tested this a few times so maybe it does?), it'd be a good idea to again tell the player if it's a pure skip or if there are multiple possible paths.


But anyhow: really quality little VN atm, would love to see more.

No. There are no major paths at the moment. Some dialogue and scenes vary slightly depending on your decision, but that's mostly it. Chapter 7 will have two somewhat different scenes depending on a previous choice, but I think majorly diverging paths should be put near the end to give a few different endings. Otherwise, I'll have to do two or three chapters-worth of work for each release, which means working on the project is gonna become more tedious and I'll lose the passion to continue...
I've seen several paths early on in other games that I really like, and I think it's pretty cool. But I personally never bothered to try out different choices just for the sake of it. I usually choose the choice I like the most and stick to it. And I don't like it when I have to play a whole other playthrough just to see some content I missed.

I like the way you choose, personally i don't play other playthrough to see other path too.

Finally tried this and it was pleasant surprise, even if the jumps in story sometimes made me confused and I feel like some sex scenes could be little longer or have more options (like Fransisca laying like that and asking what MC will do to her, but it was basically MC 1st time so it's fine I guess :p). Also I'm glad I read here that there are animations that are easy to miss when clicking because I would probably missed them all. :p
Really like most of the girls (love Seira model [and her overall], Misty is cute in her own way too, can't wait for more content with them. Really curious how Fransisca story will go, have high hope for her - hopefully some domination/bdsm for her ;P.), some sides girls have potential too. :p

So yeah, can't wait for next update, thanks for making great game.

Do I need to paste the files inside the "game" folder ?? Because I did that and the issue still persists !!!
Extract the WinRAR file (0.6a to 0.6b.rar) inside/into the "game" folder. If you do it correctly, there should be the following 11 files inside the "game" folder (in addition to the original files):

Code:
screens.rpy
script.rpy
stats_&_lore.rpy
trivia.rpy
buttons.rpy
chapter_5.rpy
chapter_6.rpy
gallery.rpy
gui.rpy
options.rpy
Place everything in the 'game' dirictory.txt

Yeah I exactly did that...but the issue's still there ...I reloaded a save when I meet with Jennifer and then as soon as the scene with her ends...I get thrown into the gallery screen...!!

I would try downloading the whole new version 0.6b when I am back home tonight...and see whether I still face the same issue...!!

This shouldn't happen... Would you try opening a scene in the gallery and using the "End Replay" button as soon as you load your save and then continue the scene with Jenny? This could solve the issue.
The issue was with the "End Replay" button earlier. Where it didn't set a variable (that meant you were in the gallery) to zero, whereas watching the scene until the end did. This is why only a few people encountered it and why I didn't get to test the patch thoroughly...
