It has great potential but in the very beginning, it plays more like a visual novel with the amount of dialogue and cutscenes before any player controlled action actually occurs. This isn't necessarily a bad thing as it allowed you to create the narrative for your game, but I think you should figure out where exactly the prologue begins and ends and include an option to skip most of that rather slow introduction sequence for any returning players who will have already experienced it, in the event of saves becoming corrupted or something. I'd honestly hate to have to replay all of that from the very beginning, as I imagine any major updates with more than a few minutes of content will probably be infrequent.

Other than that, this is another femdom game I will be looking forward to and I've pledged to your Patreon as well to show my support. I've always liked the premise of women being inherently more talented at anything magical/supernatural and have been waiting for a game to try and realistically explore that as an idea from the perspective of a male character. Lots of femdom games are of that trope where every single female character is naturally sadistic and evil and conniving, and many of your female characters in this game do not seem to have those personality traits despite females being more innately talented, so it helps keep the storytelling interesting and less predictable when we meet a new lady who isn't completely focused on breaking the MC as quickly as possible to assert the superiority she knows she has.

Although, I was still hoping the pink haired girl you meet in the classroom hall would definitely 'teach the MC his place.'

Despite how short it is, it really captured me and made me want to write to give you the compliments you deserve. I'd like to contribute financially as well, but I simply cannot, so I hope you appreciate the words.

I feel this is quite bold in terms of design as far as "porn" goes. I like that you took your time to set up properly the characters, not just cheap gratification, but an actual narration.

When I downloaded this, it really surprised me. The artwork is excellent, the game itself feels quite ambitious even in terms of mechanics, but the short slew of characters you have introduced so far are just excellent. I haven't played all of these games, but I certainly have a few, and I think in terms of realness, depth and even just care there aren't many alike. It's certainly tropey(not in a bad way) but I like how you've tried to steer clear of a few cheap things, like make every teacher a bitch, or you tried to give a psychology to Leah's interest in dominating the main character.

Speaking of which, I just love her. Despite how short it is, the few moments of the game with her are great. You created an interesting and thrilling character, made me want to learn more about her, and her relationship with the main character is just amazing. There is a tension and a realness that goes beyond the usual mean bitch/masochist dynamic, and completely hooked me. I was sad when it ended on me just like that, and even almost disappointed that it seems you plan to bring to focus more characters, I would have actually been fine just with the two of them lol. But if that's the standard, I really look forward to the following updates.

Also obviously the games on here are of a sexual nature and everybody's gotta get their rocks off and has preferences, but I actually like that you seem to want to keep the domination on a more psychological and subdued level with a focus on humiliation, I think it really makes the entire world of characters more interesting beyond the fetishes that everyone has.

Okay I take that back, this game is amazing, much better than any of its competitors by far (including ToT), the most amazing thing for me is that the only dominatrix we have a story with at the moment is the girl I like the least, and yet I love the game.
The rest will be in crescendo for me. Personally I love the owner of the dojo, besides being the most beautiful in my eyes she seems to be the only one to wear socks, which are moreover very well designed, which is my kink. Extremely promising, I can't wait to see the rest, unlike the other games.

Slowest game I've ever played in my entire life. If you want to incorporate story this much, then RPGM is NOT the medium, use Renpy lol

Oh shit, I stumbled upon a gem. Almost everything about this game is great. The only thing I have complaints about is similar to what previous posters have said, how the intro is way too long and it's more like a visual novel. The intro itself took more than an hour to complete, would be nice to have a skip button or fast-forward the 2dcg animations (not the scenes, but the pixel ones).

Thank you for sharing this.
It's refreshing to see a femdom game dev truly committed to the development of his game. I hope he continues to go at his own pace, without taking huge recurring breaks while enjoying money that automatically drops every month.
At this level of quality, this game will quickly become the best in its genre, since at this level of art and writing there is only one word to follow to get this qualification: consistency.
Can't wait for the second chapter, and it will only be the 2nd one!

For a 0.01 version this was a very pleasant surprise. There is a lot of content and I enjoyed the writing nearly all the time. Characters get actually scenes to be set up and not literally everyone is a raging bitch to you just because, which is a welcome change to the standard femdom games here. I especially liked that Ms. Fran didn't pile on you for an honest mistake at the start, but genuinely felt bad for you.

The only struggle I had is with the MC asking for his first "duel" without ever training. With the context of the MC being average and only having a defensive talent, as well as that we get told multiple times that girls are stronger in this world, it's just asking to get his ass kicked and the stupidity from the MC in that moment pulled me out of the game for a bit and wish I had a choice to remain silent instead.

The rest is overwhelmingly positive though. I love the art, the general backstory of the 12 girls with the parents trying to better their children and Yuki is incredible, to name just a few things. Looking forward to the update.
