I've always liked


to be fair, japan is an exotic lenguage and the people who have played japan vns are more easy to love japan voices over any english VA, it doenst matter if you are english or not. Also take into note that japan girls in sex scenes are just amazing, you can never compare them, there will never be rival to them... the english VA in adult vns seems always more forced while in japan they are just natural :p
Yeah. I think I 'accept' a voice where I can't understand what they're saying more than I accept one where I can. If I can understand them, I critique them, am biased for or against their accent etc.

Besides, no VA will say 'Hyaaaaaa!' better than a seiyū...

Maybe I'm just weird, but my skin crawls - in a very bad way - when listening to high-pitched Japanese voices. It is not the language, I greatly enjoyed Miss Sherlock, for instance, but those were real voices. The inhumanly high pitch I hear in so many games, series and videos that have Japanese voices, is like anti-ASMR, are the voice actors mechanically heightened to sound like helium-infused children?

For me, as delectable voices go, nothing beats a Francophone mezzo-soprano. Unlikely to find those in a game though. ;)


Good luck with your game, Thengineer! (y)

Hmm. Maybe this game will be the one to make people like voices in VNs...
Well, I personally think both my voice actresses are really talented, but I may have different criteria than you, so I guess you'll have to judge for yourself!

Oh, don't multi-quote me and make me remove the riff-raff from my reply!

My criteria are that they don't make the experience less than what it was before it was before the voices were added. I hope that doesn't make me appear too 'posh' for you. However if your VAs are not from within England, that will be the case.

So yeah, I'll have to judge, and it'll take me approximately half a sentence.


Good luck!

It's not posh to have preferences, but in any case, you can just toggle it on/off so it's not gonna make your experience any worse!

You might think that was the case, but turning off, and setting the Voice Volume to zero in Pine Falls (great game, btw) made no difference whatsoever. I think the author played the voices in the same way they played sound-effects by mistake or something.

The voice acting is in the phone system, and I specifically coded it so you can turn it on or off after you purchase the voice messages powerup, so it should work just fine

I'm just curious if this game has had any updates yet. I have changed computers since the last time I played it, so I will be redownloading and playing it anyway, but it would be nice if there has been an update since the last time I played.

Well, it's had one update since release. The newest update is from January 29th. So it really depends on the last time you've played it. He posted a dev update on his patreon yesterday but I can't see it.

If you’ve played the second chapter, then there isn’t another one yet. I really recommend just waiting out because there was a bug which will make me have to make a special build for those who have saves from my last release. It should take about 2 more weeks, so it’s not too far from now!

Thank you for helping out! The art on this update took me longer than on my last, so it’s taking a bit longer than I’d have liked, but I’m almost done now! I’ll be making a public post in a week or so, before the release.

Np, and take all the time you need. Your game is great just how you make it, wouldn't want you to rush it and put out something you don't think is ready. :giggle:

Thanks for the reply. I was just going through and getting the games I lost when my old computer went down and I remembered that this was one of them I really enjoyed.

If anyone is interested, I just made a public post on patreon talking about the release! You can read it here:

It's a bit big, just so you know!

Thank you both! I really hope you all enjoy my next release!

I've just written another update on patreon, I'm making a private release in just a few hours! I'm really excited for this! I really hope you like it! It feels really good to be ready to launch my next Chapter after working for so long... anyway, here's the post!

@thengineer Great work man, a very good update once again! I'm kinda shocked that support hasn't quite taken of yet though, it's better than a lot of other games so far already. Hopefully this new release will start to change that, I would definitely recommend it!

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed this update!
As for the support, I don't really mind, since I'm not making any money out of this. However, I'm really grateful for all the support I've got, since without it, I wouldn't be able to afford making certain upgrades to the game (like the voice acting). Obviously, more support would be very helpful with other stuff (if I could afford to get some help in the future, I'd be able to not take so long on each update), but I'm pretty happy as things are!
I also can't wait for everyone else to try it cause I would really love some more feedback!
Anyway, thanks again for your post, and if you don't mind me asking, what did you think of the voice messages? Are they clunky or do they work well?

@thengineer hope you don't mind me sharing it here.

If you'd like to play straight from Chapter 3 (meaning, if you already played the first 2 chapters), please use one of these download links:




After you've launched the game, load the first save from page 9. If you have no previous saves on that slot, it should load a save file from the beginning of Chapter 3! If not, please delete that save first. All you have to do after that is enter your first and last name when asked.


If you want to play through all the Chapters instead, use one of these download links:




Chapter 3 Change-log:
@UncleVT could you update the OP please bud
