And it's dropping here for free on February 27... be patient.
- Thread starter Zemax
- Start date
Thanks for your patience, everyone... The update took a little longer than usual because I literally ran out of a computer and had to get a loan from a family member to put another one together quickly (I’m not planning to abandon this). Then, I had extra responsibilities at my real-world job, plus Christmas and everything that comes with it... But the update to version 0.4 finally came out just a few days ago. And like I said, it'll be available for free on the 27th of this month, or maybe the 28th, depending on how long the moderators take.
But for the moment, I can give you a preview of what you can expect. Here’s the changelog for version 0.4:
This picks up the story right after MC faints and hits his head.
Important Note: This version features the first POSSIBLE Game Over. If you mess up, your MC could end up dead. Make sure to save the game before making any decisions...
This is in constant development, evolving. I've added an important extra variable, so I recommend replaying at least from the point where you had to choose between the four girls. If you don't, you might miss some dialogue variations and/or a small extra scene (depending on your choice), and in the future, the game might behave strangely.
If you think it’s necessary to replay everything from the start or don't have a save at the point of that choice, remember you can use the 'Skip Unseen Text' option in the Preferences menu. Once you select it, just hold down the CTRL key inside the game and you’ll be right back at the choice in no time.
On a side note, I’m currently working on revising the dialogues for Episode 1 (both versions), so it's very likely that everything will be released on the 27th as version 0.4b.
But for the moment, I can give you a preview of what you can expect. Here’s the changelog for version 0.4:
This picks up the story right after MC faints and hits his head.
- Around 1 hour and 20 minutes of additional gameplay in this version (if you go through everything)... Keep in mind this is based on my reading speed, so it may vary from person to person.
- 12,611 new words in the dialogues... Bringing the overall total to 44,916 words.
- 724 new rendered images plus 8 videos (first time using videos, but everything is running smoothly). This brings the total image count to 2,910.
- 7 images redone: 2 in the menu and 5 within the game. These correspond to updates reflecting small appearance changes for 3 characters (Josephine, Katherine, and Ronald).
- Added two new background ambience tracks.
- Prologue dialogues received a deeper revision to make them flow more naturally for English speakers. Therefore, some dialogues remain unchanged, others have been trimmed slightly, and some expanded, but the original meaning hasn't changed, so you don't need to re-read everything... The dialogues of Mother and Guards aren’t affected by this, as they’re meant to sound intentionally forced.
Revision of Chapter One (in both versions) will be addressed at another update.

Yay, I've been waiting for this one.
Fortunately came today and not tomorrow, need to squeeze as many games in before Wilds launches. Think that might have me occupied for a while.

Unless I missed an update, there was a decent amount of new content. Although I hope this walking around naked thing is just a one time thing.

I seriously hope the MC is not going to be walking around naked from now on. I am not a fan of watching male anatomy unless it is plunging into someone else's hole. Besides, walking around in a forest naked is not mensa level thinking. Holy Jebus... has the developer ever actually walked through the woods? Not to mention getting poison oak on the MC's twig and berries. No thank you. Granted the shorts and tank top are not that much more protection, but it's better than nothing.

Lol, no worries. Everyone will be clothed again from day 2. The first competition is that day, and I doubt anyone wants to watch a dude sprinting with everything swinging around.
Check the changelog... The last version here was 0.3, and this one has over an hour of new content... Though I think I might know what happened. The game is currently split into two different paths, which will merge again in version 0.6. Because of that, I've been working on the routes separately in each update. Maybe this update is the part you didn’t play, even though I recommended following both paths since the information is also split into two (compartmentalized).

I mean ... nekkid grandma run a ton is lore friendly and on par with the promotional pics:
See? Everybody is a naturalist hugging their humanity by the hand ... among other things ...
Even the robot lady be naked all the time ...

I seriously suggest you stop playing then. This is obviously not for you, and trust me, it’s only gonna get more and more "boring".
Could be, but you can quickly skip past what you've already played, even what you've never played before. Go to the Preferences Menu, check Skip Unseen Text, and then hold CTRL in-game. The game will only pause at decisions.
Content heavy update, which is nice. Good to see you have implemented some meaningful branching.
That said, I'm not sure the "everyone is a mutant" storyline is particularly unique or takes advantage of the gameshow premise. I think this game would be a lot more interesting if everyone was normal. It feels like a bit of a lazy way to get around the fact some of the other men are bigger and stronger (not to mention also apparently smarter).
I also wish there was a bit of a slower burn on some of these characters. Multiple now appear to have fallen in love within 1-2 days of meeting MC. I feel like this feels cheap and undeserved. Yes, they need MC due to circumstances, and sex is kind of forced by the circumstances, but that doesn't mean they should basically all be soaking themselves at first sight.
I would also love to see MC actually displaying some agency in who ends up on his team...seeing as his life is on the line and all. I get 2 of the spots being predetermined but how the other two are filled basically come down to whether you let a totally unrelated girl suck your dick. This kind of goes to the issue of the MC being really stupid in how he outwardly presents (confirmed by his internal dialogue). This game really needs an MC who is active in making choices and shaping his own fate here, including actually picking who he cooperates with (at a minimum based on looks, because we don't even know who we are getting when we make the choice that determines the remaining teammates), but even better if he actually asks these girls what they bring to the table and demonstrates some critical thinking.
Also, given the premise of the game, it feels like a bit of a missed opportunity to not also have an evil path where the MC is at a minimum more assertive and manipulative.
One final observation is that brevity can be your friend, and some of these scenes are dragging on far too long when you could communicate the same message we are supposed to be getting from the narrative as players with more efficient writing. I find myself clicking through walls of dialogue I've already played and noticing that a lot of it is filler; you could probably halve the word count while creating more realistic and efficient conversations between characters.
Clearly you're working hard on this game and you do have a handful of good memorable characters, so hope you continue to release sizeable updates like this.

Wow, thanks a lot. It's always good to see constructive criticism... You're absolutely right about everything. But there's something I’d really like to clarify above all... MC can still be kinda dumb and naive, even though he'll improve over time. And he can also turn into a real bastard... That depends on the choices. There's been a variable affecting MC's personality implemented for a long time. Right now, it only tracks things internally, but if you check the code, it's there and it does make changes in certain situations—for example, if you choose Asami or keep pushing Linda when both are naked near the tree... both cases will cause negative behavioral shifts. The effects of all this will start becoming more noticeable from version 0.6 onwards... So basically, there's a dark path for MC, and it's up to you.
