Thanks! I'm very happy with the progress I've been making the last few months, so the game's already made some huge strides. Everyone should get to see some of that soon.Your games are awesome, BBBen !! Played them all.... looking forward how this game progresses
Oh, and since I'm posting here I should note that I just the other day posted the "Emi in Focus" update for patrons, which is version 0.7 and contains Emi's story all the way up to her one-on-one interactive sex scene, as well as a little bit of content after that, too.

Well, finally something I can actually open.
I've been interested in this dev's stuff, but I am a mac user with no IT background or skills to speak of. I always found it impossible to play any of the previous games, including the mac builds. Install "mono" use a "runner," etc. Always a pain in the ass that I could never get to work.
So, I'm thrilled to report that this actually works! I got the game to open and everything! This dev seems fairly popular, so I'm eager to take this for a spin. Will give my impressions after a bit of playing, but the fact that I can even begin is a promising sign for fellow mac users.
Edit: PS, I am always interested in cheats. Some games aren't grindy but even the ones that people say aren't...usually are. So, if anyone is sitting on some info that can help me get to the point faster, I'm ready to copy.

My review:
I've been curious about the work of this developer for some time, but was never able to make any of his previous titles work as a mac user. So I can be considered a new consumer of content from someone who seems popular.
I don't play many Unity games, since rollback is so important nowadays. A single errant click and you can miss great art or part of an important scene. You really need to play this more like a mainstream game, and remember to save frequently. That's not a bad thing, just an observant and comparison to the more common renpy games I play.
This definitely looks like it's going to be a grind. How much of a grind remains to be seen, as things haven't really progressed beyond five or six game days. I have a suspicion that you may have to do things just right to get a harem ending here. So, the question is: is the juice worth the squeeze? Should I be eager to grind for the potential payoff? That partly depends on what you think of the artwork. I find the three ladies plenty attractive, so that's one hurdle passed.
OTOH, I'm not seeing any animation. A few years back, that was pretty normal. In fact, a lot of the animation back then was so slow and janky that non-animated games were preferred by lots of fans. But things have progressed by leaps and bounds, as the tech became easier to use and indie devs gained greater skill. Nowadays, I don't spend a lot of time on games with still images. Playboy is over. Activity is the future.
Obviously, shortcomings can be overcome by either unique gameplay or a good story. The story here is decent, but it isn't going to compete with PGTE (for example). The basic premise is pretty standard (amnesia) with some supernatural mystery thrown in.
Over all, it's an OK experience that seems just a little behind the times. That's gonna be three starts from me, dawg.

The HTML version works on 32bit.and now this really started
oh wait i have 32bits
I'm glad you like it! There is actually some animation in the sex scenes and I'm including more as development goes on. There are some technical limitations, but I'll be sticking with a mix of animated and not animated because it allows me to include a lot more interactivity and character interactions.
Which version were you using? It sounds like it might be something to do with running the 64 bit version on a 32 bit system. If you are on 32 bit then the HTML version is what you want.

I'm on a 64 bit system. It doesn't happen every time, but it's frustrating when it does. I did enjoy the game otherwise though.
Is it at start up or at any particular scenes? Or is it just kind of unpredictable?
I can't do anything about it right now regardless, but I might be able to use the information in the future if you notice any kind of pattern.
Apart from that, though, I'm glad you're enjoying the game.

I want to say it happened on a couple of saves, but I already finished playing and deleted so I can't go back and check. There was one in particular where I know it gave me trouble though. I saved at street level before entering the subway when you go to the casino, and when I tried to load it was hanging to the point where I closed out, restarted, and tried loading again at least a couple of times. I don't know if perhaps there was something wrong with that particular save, or what.
Related to that save, one time I got it to load, entered the subway area, but for some reason even though the image was the one in front of the subway restrooms all of the clickable areas (pretty sure that isn't the technical term) were from the living room. I don't know if the way I described it makes sense, but moving the cursor around the screen in that map/restroom area, I'd get the text pop-up for bedroom/library/kitchen/etc.
