didnt this game have a WT mod? i lost all my saves unfortunately
it used to have a selection to ensure you did not miss anything relationships and hide those choices. For some reason the dev seems to have removed. Hard to fathom a reason why he would do that.

Your comment wasn't targeted at me and I am actually with you that this is definitely top tier, but since you asked for examples I wanted to drop "Now and Then" as a game that is at the very least just as well written imo.

EDIT: "Depraved Awakening" is pretty close as well.
Burned? Good writing, but not as in depth as LOML. Love them both.

Lmao. The game got over 10k downloads in 12 hours on the hoster we can see the dl. But keep telling yourself that, if it makes yourself feel better. Stop being jealous and make better games.

This guy liked several unsubstantiated bad ratings and then had to spread his mental diarrhea here.
It seems he can't stand that the majority of users here rate this project very positively and don't agree with him.
Of course he is completely free to have a different opinion but according to his behavior he is just pathetic in my opinion.
Or like we say here: Ein armseliger Knilch

Idk if it's me and my crappy computer but the game crashes a lot without a prompt or anything.
Mine is not so crappy, mediocre I'd say, but the game is using up an enormous amount of RAM. I don't know why, but it's the only game that's causing this kind of issue, and I play some that are quite demanding without significant problems.

Name two or just one Tier 1 games as i find that very hard to believe.

I write for a living and i yet have to see another game that reached this level of writing. To give some examples that i am not just pulling this statement out my ass.

Light of my Life.
1. The story goes through the 5 stages of grief. (denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance) with most people not realizing this at all.
2. The story references to itself in the museum by talking about lot and his daughters portrayed on a picture. (also not alot of ppl catched that because they skip through it all)
3. The coven from the office (3 office ladies) represent the three stages of motherhood, being single, pregnancy, advanced motherhood.
4. The wards (denise and macy) like real people handle their grief over their mothers death differently. One gets angry and the other one becomes shy and hides from the entire world. This is well established and documented psychological behaviour of kids or young adults who lose a parent early in life. I never saw a VN who portrayed this better than this game in my entire life.
5. The characters are deep and well written to the point i would deny it being written by an amateur and would describe it as the early work of someone starting his/her professional writing career.
6. The story in and of itself is believable and not forced at any given time. We got no mcguffin device to advance the plot and it all feels natural and at flow like a river. Even in the professional world the use of a mcguffin happens over and over again and the audience swallows it by turning their brain off while watching movies, reading books or watching episodes of their favorite show with no substance.

To name a few (cause i really wanna play now instead of writing) and i don't want to attack you or your opinion about the game being just a tier 2 in your opinion or by your personal choices.

However as someone with over 26 years in this business i can say without the shadow of a doubt that this is one of the best if not even the best story written game on this entire board. If you got something that even tops this i would like to take a look and see for myself if this is the case.

As i am around this board for quite a while i also got some devs who can do an amazing job but when it comes to depth in character development they all fail and keep their characters shallow and one dimensional. They appear layered but are shallow.
I have never seen a comment that comes close to what we knowingly or unknowingly feel about this game and yours hit that mark. If I may add to this, the reasons for the hate (or less favourable opinion) is probably because of the fact that this game is meant for the niches that enjoy a game with some story that they can come back to, rather than for the masses that expect earth-shattering sex from the get-go, that's not complicated and aids them to release their Kraken. In other words, they do not wish to be emotionally involved with a genre of games that is traditionally known as smut.

This challenges that theory and forces them to come out of their comfort zones in order to challenge that notion, which not many are willing to do so. At the end of the day, the dev. understands that and I hope he succeeds in completing this game and making many more that people will fondly remember for the story he wished to portray rather than be forgotten once the Kraken is released. God knows how many games I've forgotten after they've been completed but I'm sure this will always be remembered, like people remember their soap operas.

This is one of the best games out there, and like many others, I've been waiting for this update forever. (Which was excellent, by the way.)

Kudos to Naughty Road on the success. I hope your game does well on Steam. You've put in a ton of work, and made something you can be proud of.
