I liked StrawberryCheese83's review because, by some players, it's better to be shot down than praised!
No hard feelings, man... :cool:

It's not dead, but it's "dead" on F95, as the dev doesn't use any traditional means of garnering financial support (he's not on Patreon or Subscribestar, or on Itch). Instead, they use their own private website, via which they distribute the game to their (paid) supporters.

Apparently, there are none from there willing to leak the game to its F95 thread, so we've been stuck with an update that's horribly outdated.
I just tried again today to register on his site. That was 20 minutes ago. I have yet to receive the email giving me an activation code. I remember trying to do this months ago and giving up. I don't know what the deal is.

The problem, mate, is that you didn't validate your email address after you signed up. Maybe the e-mail is still in your junkmail. What's more, you don't have to receive activation codes if you're only registered, you have to subscribe for that. And instead of complaining here, why didn't you write to site support? (I already have several hundred subscribers ;))

I didn't receive the email to validate my email address. Ans since you're so gracious about it, forget it.

When you come here to complain instead of writing to me, are you being gracious? Is that your way of being benevolent?
I forgot you already.
There you have it folks, the reason this game's F95 forum is "dead"... an arrogant dev that thinks he knows better than every other AVN developer on the market.

Thanks man. Nothing personal here. I m making a promise to you. Once you ve completed your game to 100%—and I mean every route and every chapter—I ll buy it from your website. Seriously. My review was based on the last version I played (I think it was 0.6 :unsure:), and I wasn t satisfied. I even modded it for myself. :LOL: It s not about the renders or Laura and her husband/fiancé. What bothers me most is how you handle the choices you give us. There s no clarity at all. We ve discussed this (you and I) extensively, and I won t go into the details again. I ve played hundreds of visual novels, and I m at a point where I have to admit I feel too stupid to play yours. :KEK: The very confusing (if you want to save your RL and make the Choices PRO-RL you gonna loose RL Points :WaitWhat:) point system and the inability to definitively reject a potential LI (if I want to) ASAP are driving me crazy.

To be honest, I was this close to buying the game from your website out of curiosity, but the lack of updates about the game s progress and the absence of reviews discussing its development and future choices were major dealbreakers. I need transparency to buy a game....at least a few dozen reviews. I understand it s your game, your vision, and you should bring that vision to life. I get that. Really. But this just doesn t click for me. I have a choice fetish, I admit, but that s what makes a game good and appealing to me. :) I need the freedom to feel ownership over my main character, to steer the story, and if I don t like a character, they should disappear ASAP. Anything else just doesn t feel right.

Reach out to me when you ve truly finished your game. I ll buy it like promised, and I ll write a new honest and fair review.

You write as if I waswaiting for your measly two dollars. Where are you going, Donald? Please save your money for other games and other developers besides me (especially since once the game is finished, it will be free).

I am very sorry, Mr. Rockefeller. Well, i am glad that you are gonna be such a "charming and approachable fella"... and then act all moody when nobody s exactly rushing to buy your game. I was just trying to be polite. Sorry. It will not happen again. Keep it up, real “likable” vibe you’ve got there. Jeez.....(y)
