Hey, yeah, that line wasn't really for you. Of course, there are people/fates/situations where this way of looking at pain isn't great. But I guess if you were afraid to go to the dentist, because it might hurt, then I would give you similar advice. I don't know about you, but maybe you have children, or maybe you are in contact with people who have children. If a child was afraid to do something because they might embarrass themselves, or maybe they could feel uncomfortable, then surely you would remind them that it wouldn't be the end of the world to go through that experience.

Then again, for you in particular, I hope you've enjoyed the game so far. I'll keep bringing out updates. If you want to know how the story ends, I'm afraid you'll have to stay alive a bit longer. Hopefully, you're exaggerating your suicidal thoughts (or the potential thereof). You never know on the internet. If not, then I don't want to miss this opportunity to tell you that there is no shame in therapy. I'm currently studying for a degree in psychology. I won't use it because I'd rather create porn games. And that's just it. Writing stories makes me happy. I'm sure there is something that makes you happy too. Never forget that it's not all bad.
Oh yeah not trying to complaining about the line, more like it just struck me weird/made me depression spiral for a sec, it really is a good way to view suffering 90% of the time. So yeah nothing against that line, and I don't expect you to cater to me/people like me, just something I noticed and got emotionally gut punched by.

My life has never been so bad that I wanted to die but bad enough that I didn't want to live(if that makes any sense), so yes I'm definitely sticking around for more, in fact for those 10+ years the only things keeping me sane were my parents and stories books, comics, anime, games, wholesome, pervy, degenerate, anything I could get my hands on really.

In the course of reading the boredom away I read a manga (Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation) about someone whose life was destroyed by a mixture of his circumstances and his own bad decisions getting a second chance at life, at the time it didn't mean anything to me(anyone else ever wanted to go back in time and smack their younger self?), I eventually stopped reading it, my impression of it was basically just "haha funny pervert baby/man/thing, ok joke over" and that was it... until the anime came out and my dumb brain finally picked up on the parallels between the MC and me, like me his problems weren't his fault, but he let them fester and did nothing to help himself, the realization that in less than 10 years I'd be a bargain bin copy of the mc (without the second chance at life) scared the shit out of me and forced me to change my whole worldview.

I'm now at the point where I want to live and am taking/have taken steps to that end but I have no clue how or what the end goal will be like, but it will be better than where I'm at now and way better than were I was.

All of that is to say, stories kept me not wanting to die and then made me want to actually live, And I have a massive amount of respect for anyone who can write even a half decent story (lord knows I can't).

I put together a few simple adjustments that changed the main menu/game menu backgrounds (kind of like a skin change), also changed the default textbox...and included a universal opacity and font slider.

Install: Just extract and merge the game folder with the AForeignWorld game folder. Also this skin change can be used with future game releases.

Enjoy

The mod is pretty good. It works since I forgot to hide away my files this time around.

Sadly, the mod will break the game with the next update. I plan to archive my files once again, and then you will have two files trying to reassign what the H button does (currently in e1.rpy). Renpy won't like it, and the game will crash. Maybe it also does some impossible variable assignments but that issue had to do with having the mod installed and trying to update the game. There has been a third-party walkthrough mod, and it led to these issues. Would you edit your comment and specify that the mod will only work for Episode 4.5 unless, of course, you fix those issues once ep5 comes out?
Thank you, I will try and make it work when the next update drops. And I will update my post accordingly.

One thing I really appreciate about this game is the memory tile. Helps to keep track of developments when coming back to it after a few months. This should be a must in any harem VN tbh.

What's with the hairy belly on tracy? I'm male and that's about as much as I have. It's an odd choice...
Especially as her arms seem to be freshly waxed, if going for realism that should be the other way around, hairless belly and light fuzz on the arms.

Then there's the shaped pubic hair. SO... It is intentional and not just an accident that there's some grooming. With said grooming she bothered to shave part of her pubes but not her legs, she shaves or waxes her arms so they're totally bald and shiny but doesn't deal with the belly hair?
This both looks terrible and makes no sense at all.

Also that belly button looks like... Well I don't know what it looks like but it don't look right that's for sure. More like a scab than a belly button, which is a little off putting.

Yeah there's a few things here which just don't look right. I can't be the only person to notice this and think "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa?"

Then you're a pretty hairless guy. That little isn't uncommon on women, more so on those who aren't shaving or waxing their pussy. Commenting on this is like commenting on women having hair on their arms

I did comment on hair on arms...

She is shaving her pubic hair...

Learn to read maybe?

Hair on arms is normal, all women should have this, she's missing it. This means she's shaving/waxing it. I know girls that do this.
Hair from the belly button to pubis is normal on some women with some genetics such as italian and would need to have dark hair for it to show not mousy brown so again doesn't work. Hair above the navel is rare in women but can happen.


I'm not hairless and I'm not exactly rare, it's pretty normal to not have a lot of body hair even as a man. In fact it's probably more normal than it is to be really hairy considering how genetics are spread around the world.

I swear this whole comment isn't just me being a depression factory. (only like 60% of it >.>)

MC: I like his sentiment. If the suffering is finite, then there is no reason to be afraid. Eventually, it will be over.

Me born with chronic pain: yeah when I'm dead -_-

That is the best way to look at suffering, unless you know... it's chronic pain/suffering, looking at it that way kinda makes you wanna die sooner to make said suffering/pain more finite... Sooo yeah in that case maybe don't view it that way :\

The thing that got me going again (after 10+ years of being a sad sack) was looking at it as: Even if I can never be who I want to be, I can be better than who I am/was even if that improvement is way too slow for my liking... and then learn to live with the pain not just survive it. (I'm still working on that last bit >.>)
Disability 101: I am Not Alone in this, it just feels that way. ;)
and yeah, Living versus Surviving ... it's more than Words. and CAN be done.(y)
but hey. squirrels aren't the only ones who like nuts. :sneaky::p

I have been playing the game, I am up to the part where Cecilia the agent join the MC. And I have to say the Models are great, but game seems to be a cock tease, only sex so far has been letting the MC imagine what would happen if he had the balls to actually have sex with one of the girls.....

So MC has 10 hot girls living at his house, knows a couple of other hot girls, couldn't keep his hot fiancé from leaving him (probably because he didn't want to have sex)...

My question is: does the game get better with the sex, or is all this just going to be more story? I am not against story, but I expect a certain amount of fucking in an adult vn.

just a question, not an attack on the game or developer. peace.

It's a slow buildup, but there is definitely some sex happening by the time of the current release.
Some decisions definitely suggest having implications in the future though, at least, it kinda feels to me like it might be better in some instances to hold off for a moment to get to know the girl, both her personality and her intentions, a bit better. There are two or three girls who might take issue with the proposition of a harem, while there are also two or three who simply don't trust men. I'm convinced it's possible to get them all, and maybe even one extra who has only appeared once in the story so far, but we'll have to find out. Only HighbornTiger knows for sure.

The update has been out for a while. You should consider buying the game on Steam or Itch. That way you no longer have to wait for it here. Another benefit would be that you also don't have to wait for future updates.
I'm not going to buy an adult game on Steam, I value my privacy and my right to own my games and not give Steam the authority to switch off my game at their whim. I looked on Itchio, couldn't find it by this name "A Foreign World" or by your username here. Could you please provide a link? I don't see a link in the OP either.

Thanks for your time have a nice day.

I do know :D

It is an AVN, so yes there is sex. Not as much as in other games, but it‘s still there. You‘ll have to endure a couple more fantasies, but once the story gets going, mc no longer has to hold back.
