Nobody cares about a female MC in non sexual games. I think the point is being missed here. The problem with games with a female MC is not even about the female MC, but what a female MC generally implies about the game itself. There are some great games on here with a FMC that do a great job of showing the female perspective (Crimson Grey 1.5 is a good example).

The problem is that the vast majority of female protagonist games are not about exploring a female character in an interesting way, but rather the game is simply a mirror of many male protagonist games in which you go out, look for, and engage in sex. In a MMC game, it is a game where you go and bang chicks. In a FMC (non-lesbian) game, it is a game where you go out and suck cocks and get banged by dudes.

Games are enjoyable because in them you do something you want, something you fantasize about. In Minecraft, you explore an interesting world, gather resources, and create structures (good times). You can play as a MMC or FMC in that game and it's the same experience. In MMC sex games and FMC lesbian games you chase women, create relationships and have all kinds of sex with beautiful women (awesome!). It's nice to be male, but female lesbian is great too. However, in most FMC games, you go around sucking dicks and getting gangbanged by dudes (fucking gross). Unless you are a homosexual (or bi but don't want to admit it to yourself) or a strait woman, you are not going to enjoy a game about sucking cocks. THAT is why so many of us are immediately turned off when we see the female protagonist tag. Being a female is not the problem. Playing a game about getting banged by dudes is.
Thank you! you summed it up perfectly.

How many of the most popular games on the site are female MC?
Totally irrelevant.
I'm not disputing that male mc games are popular.
You said most female mc games are unsuccessful.
That's simply not true, imo.
Prove otherwise.

Judging from how the first episode is laid out, and the genre tags on the OP, it certainly seems to be an available path later on. I really appreciate how open the scenarios are, allowing you to decide what kind of person you wish Elena to become. I don't like the incest routes, but I can appreciate the opportunity for others to explore those paths.

After playing with Ren'Py scripting recently, I'll have mass respect for Erosion if the paths really do branch significantly. This project is a massive undertaking to balance the story along so many separate arcs, on top of very empathetic (and some possible deviant) creative writing. I was very similar to this MC in high school, so the back story has already gotten me hooked. :)

It really feels like the whole first episode and 90% of the decisions may be foreshadowing future events. There's no way the updates (with this high of quality) could possibly come soon enough! :coldsweat:

First impression this VN looks beautiful. What more can you really say? The visuals are on point. As for the storytelling so far, it did its job to pull me in wanting to go on this journey of discovery for Eleanor.

This VN has every potential to be amazing but I do have some worries. Seeing that we have multiple sexual routes looks good on paper, pleasing multiple groups of people in a single VN. But from a development standpoint in a way could be a bit ambitious storytelling-wise. For example, people who play this for the lesbian route are not going to care about the straight route and vice-versa. Throw in the potential lesbian/straight incest those are even more variables. In a way you're potentially telling multiple major storylines in a single VN.

Unless there's a good balance per episode/update, I can definitely see future posts like...

"Is there lesbian content in this update?"
"Ew Father/Daughter content, where's my sister/sister content."
"Needs more content for Father/Daughter, Brother/Sister stuff, I hate this lesbian stuff."
"This update is too short because it doesn't have the content I like."

People like me who enjoy, straight, lesbian, incest, a bit of dark stuff, basically a little of everything, are going to enjoy the ride of this VN full stop. But I Hope the dev has a clear vision storytelling-wise to satisfy the different camps.
