Why is "submission" in the title. The situation is more like indentured servitude, and what original plot tool triggered it.
Might as well a game about being coerced to work at mcdonalds for 40 days, would be as sexy.

Instead of whatever this game has you could have a h1b1 worker in usa needing to do sexual favors for their mcdonalds boss or risk deportation for being unemployed for a few months. Then in the evenings you go take your english lessons where you can harvest new fast food employees for your master.

The map is comically poorly designed. Enjoy running around for no reason.
The plot sucks so much none of it is worth reading. Why doesnt the game just start without dialing time back.

Are you sure that you know what the word "submission" means? The reason why the player character submits to the girls is irrelevant, just by virtue of submitting to someone else they're being submissive, therein lies the submission.
The whole thing with the debt is obviously just a plot device to get the MC, who starts out as a closeted M with their pride, ego and dignity all intact, to still be submissive to the girls even though he normally shouldn't be.
It's only a way to get the ball rolling, it's already been confirmed that it becomes irrelevant later on when the player can beat the girls and still choose to remain their slave, and by pretending that it's somehow the crux of the story you're just making a fool of yourself.
The map is comically poorly designed. Enjoy running around for no reason.
"Poorly designed" is definitely a stretch. If you make the map too small, then the whole feel of the university being super fancy and prestigious goes in the trash. If you make it too big then people get tired of running around and get lost... but that can also be a plus, since commuting irl can be tedious and boring as well, you could call that immersive.
The plot sucks so much none of it is worth reading.
The plot is more than serviceable, a lot better than the average for games like these. It relies on some anime tropes, but that's also a plus if you like said tropes. What elevates it tho is the fact that the characters seem like they'll be actually multi-dimensional, with their own different likes and dislikes, trauma, character development, etc. which is pretty rare and very much appreciated for this type of game. It may be too early to tell though.
Why doesnt the game just start without dialing time back.
Because there's a long stretch of game time until you get to that first h-scene, and if you don't grab the players' attention right away odds are they won't keep playing your game. If there was no tease at the beginning, there'd probably be a lot more people complaining about the game's intro being too long.

Hey! Cool game! Not really a fan of all the foot stuff but... ngl, the story and game play has me more hooked then the actual porn lmao, also I was cracking up at the absolute roast our boy pulled out, before promptly getting knocked into an anime flashback

But yeah, solid game, probably gonna leave 5 or 4 stars, and... it seems like you might be doing too much with 40 days for each one, it sounds like too much content too be done >.>

Not sure where the demo ends, but for me, but in version 0.01 after day 2, (when im in day 3) the day repeats again. Where you have to figure out why Leah is mad at you and then do the 1st dojo event... and after that the screen just goes to black when going to bed again.

Extract the hotfix inside the game's folder.
It contains a save file at the start of the third day (slot 20 I believe).

Each route will be independent and will have its own ending. And yes, that means winning the fight isn't necessary.
However, if you manage to complete all three before the end of the 40 days period, you get a special ending.
I'm not sure I understand -- how can you complete the three routes in 40 days? If you go one route (which I assume means consistently selecting more submissive, 'affectionate', or rebellious answers), how can you also do the other two without loading a previous save which would erase the progress?

By the way, let me join all those who have praised you so far. The art in t his game is excellent, and there is an attention to detail that leaves me very happy. (I noticed that, in your intro, you had music playing as the MC ran to the academy, and we could see various scenes -- it had a cinematic feeling that really made me think of a real movie.) It is quite obvious that you are putting a lot of effort, and a lot of yourself, in this game. I really hope you'll succeed in bringing your vision to life!

I personally have nothing to complain about. The intro is long, but I like it, because it gives you more time with the MC and his circumstances, so you can get more attached to him. (You've made me like him enough that I, aside from wanting to follow the most submissive route to see where it leads, also kinda want him to win in the end -- he seems to be so happy about the chance he got to achieve his goals, you actually want to see him succeed in his studies. I'm even wondering if, despite the title, you'll go so far as actually having an ending in which he escapes as a free man, respected by all the others, and well on his way towards achieving his dreams.)

I see the emphasis on feet, and I am curious about whether or not you'll strive for a balance with other fetishes or not. I'm not complaining -- I do have my own personal preferences; but I am also a firm believer in authorship. I think the best work is obtained when the creator follows the path s/he really prefers -- the dedication level increases, and the result, even if not for everybody, becomes better, deeper, and more meaningful (besides being more fun to produce, and to consume!). So, I'm not complaining; I'm just honestly curious. You've decided on a structure that involves direct contact with 12 ladies, and possibly a number of side quests/stories; are you going to explore various fetishes with each lady and/or side story, or will you concentrate on personality and character development for everybody within a few specific fetishes?

I'll definitely be following the evolution of this game. I wish it -- and you in this, and all future, endeavor(s) -- the best of luck!

(P.S.: Three little mistakes I noticed in the text.
First: After Leah tells MC that they're going outside the campus, he stops her to demand a duel. He then says the following sentence, where the words "anyone that time" are repeated incorrectly: "You know better than anyone else that time anyone that time is a luxury I don't have."
Second: In the first day of art class, the teacher, Amy, says: "irstly, as you can see here,..."; of course, this should be "Firstly,...".
Third: In MC's punishment scene, the narration says: "Leah brtually slams..."; of course, "brtually" should be "brutally".)

Zenkuro i really appreciate your work on this game, but i would suggest to implement more save slots for try different choices and also because the H-scene aren’t replayable, or maybe implement a replay scene

Agree with all the praise here, very good so far. I do think that replayability is greatly reduced because frankly, even the smallest action takes forever. That is of course because everything is also extremely detailed like the sprite work and the frequent art cut ins, but I do think there could be a bit less of that, especially for the mundance scenes. I don't think we necessarily need the MC sprite to put his hands on his eyes followed by a art cut in where he does exactly that. Either, or the text alone would probably be perfectly fine and cause the game to be less sluggish.

I also agree that the map being this big drives home how important the academy is, but having to spend 30 seconds to run to the class room every day (thats 20 minutes for all 40 days) is a bit tiring. Would be cool to add a teleportation system for areas that you already encountered, maybe tied to the map?

Also I'm way more enthusiastic about this game then what my comments now might make it seem, just for the record.

I second that, a quick travel option to already visited locations (or at least the ones we have to revisit often) could be a good idea.
