I do have a soft spot for mysterious and thrilling stories, so I gave this VN a try here and I must say that I was quite entertained.

But I have some light criticism:
The female characters seem intrinsically open to the idea of being part of a harem from the start, which struck me as a little too flat or anime-like. Sometimes I wish that there would be more conflict and competition between the girls. I'm thinking about conflicts and competition that happen mostly in a subtle way, not necessarily in an exaggerated anime-esque way for comedic relief. Albeit some comedic reliefs are not bad if they aren't too frequent and well-placed.

So far, however, the female characters have been drawn in such a way that they can't really feel any envy among themselves, nor any ill-will towards each other. The fact that the MC has something going on with each of the LIs doesn't seem to bother them among themselves.

As I said, you're not really working towards a harem nor does it develop into a harem in a natural way. It feels more like the female characters are set up from the beginning. I mean in a way so that it will come down to a harem without any prior development with conflicts, reconciliations, and so on.

That's a little too flat for me. I also found it too quick that MC and Sophia are already a couple after what feels like a week. And there is no remorse on the part of the MC to fool around with other girls and they don't have any remorse either, even if they know that Sophia and MC are together.

The LIs have different personalities, but I think they should be differentiated a bit more. Right now, some of them seem a little too one-dimensional. Abby is probably the least one-dimensional of the LIs right now, but maybe it just seems that way because she has a mysterious past. Sarah is the a bit grumpy one, but maybe there's more to her considering how tired she is all the time. It's also picked up again and again that she doesn't like to accept help, and I think it's quite successful that she can't immediately shed this manner either, but always falls back into this behavior a bit. That makes it more believable.
Sophia, Claire and Mia, on the other hand, seem too similar to me. These three most urgently need more differentiation, especially more differentiation from each other.

Aside from that I find the pacing is mostly very good. The humor is mostly well-placed, too. And there are even some surprising moments. I can't believe I

I can't wait for the story to continue. Good job so far!

Don't take my criticism too much to heart. I think most of the points are very subjective anyway and I still enjoyed the game.

Thank you for the feedback! You make some very good points that I can agree on. I'm currently reworking some things (including the relationship between the MC and Mia together with Sophia), and some things I've planned for the future (i.e. further character development). But I'm definitely keeping your suggestions in mind while moving forward, as I think they're very good! Also,

It's pretty weird to play a game, where u aren't main hero, bcs it is Abby story not MC. If to get her powers and have finally fun i must do the clan ritual i would do it.

LI are pretty weak in comparision to other games. I can see how Sarah, Alice or even Abby can fall in love with MC, but rest are pretty far-fetched: Sophia as a character is probably on par with Abby, but love at first sight isnt very interesting; Clair literally jump on him on second occasion without knwoing him at all, similar to Mia, but shea at least know him from Sophia story, truth or dare game; which is far worse when what she do is seducing her bestfriend boyfriend.

I have hope that Evelyn is LI too nad soon MC would get superpowers too excluding calculus proficency, if not then i don't understand why dev didn't do game about Abby.

Not a bad game so far. I just stumbled across this and decided to give it a whirl. So far it looks good and the LI's are very on point.

Keep it going (y)

Dev made a on Patreon. Looks like we're hopefully gonna get a new release soon.
Patreon Post Highlight :

"That's why the new release date will be on the 8th of November, at 6:00 PM UTC!"

Missed it, by a month + . . .

Hopefully, maybe by X-Mas, or the New Year ?

( Hope the Dev is, Okay/Well, health-wise . . .
Don't stress-out /Push your-self too hard. )

Yeah, Dev made a follow-up talking about how they were facing some technical difficulties. I was gonna link that one too, but I kept forgetting.

Okay, thanks, . . .

Was wondering, if they had posted newer information,
( being they missed their own deadline . . . ),
some things, just don't always go as planned . . . :confused:
