I downloaded the game last night through Mega, and tried to unzip it just now. I got a shit ton of Checksum's. Over 40 of them for sure. Someone may need to re-upload it or something.

Thank you for this creating and sharing this game. I was about to go to sleep last night, but figured that I would look for quick game that I could play for a few minutes to relax before bed. 10 hours later, here we are. This game is probably the best bdsm/porn game that I have ever played.

This is a long post, but because I enjoyed this game a lot, I wanted to take the time to write a detailed post giving feedback. Since the game is still in “testing”, I hope that some of these ideas help make this game even better.


What is amazing about the game!
  1. The characters are attractive.
  2. The BDSM/sex scenes are really hot. You especially did a great job with portraying the character’s feeling and emotions through their facial expressions. I also like the use of the body positions and camera angles (looking up or looking down) showing if they are dominate or submissive.
  3. The music/sound fits well with the scenes.
  4. The game includes a huge range of fetishes (more on this later).
  5. I really liked the dialog. The story is actually very deep, and in second play through, I picked up on a lot of things that I overlooked the first time once I knew the whole story. Like how the headmistress is screening students for work in her brothels. I was not bothered about the automatic English translation as I was able to understand everything fine even when things were a little bit off. The translation can only get better as you continue working on the game!
The above points are what make this game great. That being said, I have many ideas to improve the game.


Bugs that I experienced:
  1. Watching movie in cinema can makes time move backward. It is always 5:00PM when the movie ends, even if the player starts the movie after that.
  2. The game bugs out if MC runs out of cash a second time and get put in jail a second time
  3. It is possible to not bring Alex home after a date and then go to school with her the next day while she is still following MC around, resulting in two copies
  4. Occasionally some of the dialog was still in Russian.
  5. A few times either the screen went black or the game locked up, and I had to go back to a previous save.

Suggestions to the game engine:
  1. Change the character faces at the bottom of the screen to match what the characters look like.
  2. Add an option to rename/add a description to save files so that the player can keep tract of which file is which.
  3. Add an achievement system to show the player what % of content that they have viewed, organized by domination/submission and by character. Also give the player clues on what is missing.
  4. Add a way for the player to re-watch any scenes that they have unlocked. And give them options to make different choices within that scene (example how MC/Alex likes their steak cooked).
  5. The game allows either complete turning off gay content or leaving it on. I am OK with some gay scenes but not OK with others. Give the player the option to skip gay scenes (or replace a male with a female like in the police/jail scenes) on a case by case basis once the player understands the nature of the scene. Use the red text to break the 4th wall (the text you use to remind the player to save the game or warn them about the extreme fetish content with Nina) to give the player the choice to go forward or skip/replace character in a scene. Because if the MC is on the Sub path, he might not get the “choice”, but the player should still get it (thus the use of the red text).

Suggestions for game play:

Overall the game play is just a bit "slow", and it is certainly felt especially on subsequent playthroughs. We just want to experience the story, but almost 4 hours of gameplay (I timed it on my second playthough) is spent just running around doing nothing.
  1. Going to class is currently just a waste of time. Unless you are planning to explore class more, class could just be replaced with just one 6 hour block, where any of the character/story dialogs automatically take place.
  2. Hunger, Thirst, and Fatigue could be removed and are just another burden that doesn’t add anything to the game.
  3. Money is not important and can also be removed because MC can gamble while abusing saved games.
  4. Homework isn’t important (in fact I found out after playing through the game that MC actually wants to skip doing homework in order view content with Curator Linda).
  5. Let the player skip dialog and/or scenes if they want to.
  6. It is odd that the game is built as a RPG but has almost no RPG elements. As many others have suggested, this game might work better in a storybook format. If you want to make this game an RPG, I suggest that you rework the game so that MC has stats like attractiveness, physical fitness, intelligence, etc (dominance and submission could be included here). MC could spend his free time working on those stats. And to view side content, MC would need to maintain certain stats like physical fitness with Latisha, intelligence with Mark, etc. A sub MC could even be punished if they failed to work on certain stats.

Where to add more story:
  1. In the alternate endings where MC is master, I would like to find a way to have Alex looped back into the story. Like how in the Alt Sub endings, MC got a glance of Alex many years later and wondered “what if”.
  2. I would like to see the story line with Anna finished. Some type of arrangement where MC becomes her girlfriend and both share Alex, or where Alex and Anna both share the MC.
  3. I am sure that it would be a lot of work, but it would fun to play the game as either MC or Alex, giving the player the option to be the female master or female sub if desired.
  4. Add some type of story for Neyton (tour guide at start) as he doesn’t appear for the rest of the game after the dance. Or you could even merge his character together with another one like Anna.

Fetishes:

I realize that everyone has their own “tastes”, but I just wanted to provide my overall options on things.
  1. Like I said previously, the game does a great job of including a lot of different fetishes, but there is so much more to be explored. Ideas like electricity, role play, rope bondage, hot wax, nipple torture, suspension, tickle torture to name a few.
  2. Like I said in the introduction, the characters in the game are really attractive, and I would love to see more clothing/outfits for them. Especially for the subs. Also what is the deal with the cuffs that the Subs wear? They seem to never get used!
  3. There is just too much urination (golden shower, toilet, water sports, etc) fetish. I will admit that I am not a fan of urination fetishes, but it got to the point where I just wanted to skip through those scenes. As an example, I am also not a fan of spitting fetishes, but having just a few scene with Petra, I didn’t mind. However, if there were 20 scenes with spitting (like with peeing fetish), it would bother me.
  4. There is also too much foot worship. Now, I really like foot fetishes, but even those became too much after so many scenes.

Master Cruelty:

This last idea is hard to describe, and again I realize that this is my opinion. However, I feel like the master is just too cruel, especially Alex and MC when they are the dominating each other. Like to beat someone into unconsciousness, and then have their drunken master discipline them more when they wake up because they passed out is just beyond what I consider acceptable even in the strictest relationship. I just feel that at the end of the day, after a master has humiliated and punished him/her sub, it is the master's responsibility to make sure that the sub feels loved and safe. I just don’t get that feeling from the masters in the game, and it is especially weird because Alex and MC obvious cared for each other and had romance in the first week of the game. Also, it is OK to give some rewards or even sexual pleasure to a sub when they have earned it. Seriously, give your sub at least a sip of bear as a reward after he/she was forced to kneel in the hot sun all day! Subjecting a sub to only negative and draining experiences where everything that he/she do is viewed as wrong and deserving of punishment just leads to the sub eventually resenting their master. The story almost gets to the point where I said to myself that if I were the sub, I would call off the “relationship” because I am just being brutally abused. I realize that the whole psychology of domination/submission was explored in conversations with Headmistress Miranda, and that the master seemed to soften up a bit after this conversation and checked in with his/her sub more often to understand their feelings. Like I said, I realize that it is my option, and maybe some people like the heartless master. Maybe just give the player the option to be less merciless.

The other relationships are OK because I feel like the sub is participating in them voluntarily. Or in the case of the alternate endings, the slavery is clearly non-consensual so the unrelenting sadism is understood. With the Nina story, I am honestly scared where it will go in future updates. It is scary when in the game's dialog, the master admits to himself that he has little idea what he is doing, yet he is pushing things so far that he might kill his sub. A person with this mindset is not "fit" to be a master.


That is all I have. That you again for a great game, and I will be eagerly looking forward to future updates!

Thank you for your feedback. First of all, thank you for the errors found. I will fix them in the next update. As for the technical and gameplay components of the game that you offer. I've thought about some of them (in particular the faces of the characters in the dialog box, and the installation of the save plugin), but everything else is not possible at this stage. Everything depends on time. And my main job won't give me time to redo everything. Every detail, time, lessons, hunger, thirst, fatigue, sleep, etc.,are related to each other, and most importantly to the quests. Changing at least one component will entail a lot of errors (of which there are so many in the game). Indeed, it will be easier to make the game from the beginning. The only thing I could do (and I did), I removed some elements from the final lines of the game.

About fetishes and relationships of heroes. It seems to me that this is a very delicate issue, and it makes no sense to discuss and argue about it. What one person likes is absolutely unacceptable for another, and it is very difficult to find a "middle ground". If you read this thread (in principle, like others), you will see absolutely opposite opinions and preferences, and it is simply physically impossible to please everyone.

Thank you again for your feedback and criticism)
