Honest Feedback:
1) Sprite sex / sex scenes are way too short. First enemy encounter and it goes right into sexual encounter resulting in a creampie after 4 seconds.
2) The text box at the bottom center is a great opportunity to have her speak during sexual encounters or show her thoughts. This is a great opportunity to showcase her gradual corruption. The game Trigger Happy did this and it was well received...considering how old Trigger Happy is and the increase in technology since that game, you could expand greatly on that concept.
3) The facial portrait / body portrait should change based on the level of corruption
4) Her walking animation is kind of wonky looking - she walks like a dude with swamp crotch trying to unstick his balls from the side of his leg. Walking animation should be a little bit more feminine IMHO.
5) If you are going to showcase an internal shot of penetration with the womb, that leads players to believe that there is a pregnancy mechanic.
6) Stamina does not regenerate after you run.
7) There should be some form of tutorial showcasing what run/attack/jump is in the game so players aren't button mashing trying to figure out the key configuration.
8) I don't know what type of enemies you are going for, but the standard "bald buff enemy" with his pants down is kind of weird. recommend more detail - are they zombies? are they infected with some sort of alien virus? Just being a bald guy who has a 12 pack kind of takes away from the game itself... recommend variation in cg looks of each zombie.
9) As corruption becomes a thing, would recommend various different sex positions with each enemy based on corruption level.

Reminds me of Captivity or Unforbidden, decent start, will wait to see if we get more.
In addition to the other things people have noted, pressing down on the arrow keys won't hide you, but pressing S will, despite both wasd and the arrow keys function
Otherwise generally didn't have any issues.

I didn't test it that much but all I saw was getting fucked too much = you run out of 'endurance' and the level resets.

CoreRuptionStudios so I finished v0.0.1b and below is my feedback
What I loved
What could be better
What I loved
- So you already have a fully working sex system which is more than some games can say even after multiple builds. I like the sex system, perhaps a struggle mechanic could improve it but I like the general stealth mechanics and the sex works well in the gameplay
- The art style is decent, I wouldn't call it bad but I also wouldn't call it great. It was good enough for me to enjoy the game though. You can either decide to legit just keep this art style and continue to develop the game or you can either make it slightly higher resolution (as in the pixel art just slightly more detailed) or you can use AI to enhance your models. What other devs do is they export Daz models into their game which is also an option (that's how Hounds of Meteor did it as far as I'm aware)
- The animations are great, perhaps just a few more frames on the final stage of the animation and it would be perfect
- The birthing and pregnancy mechanics are top notch
- I loved the status screen and I actually really liked the AI images in the bottom left corner as that way you get the nice AI still images but you also still get the nice pixel animations as well
- Also was pleasantly surprised that pregnancy progress is reflected in both the AI image and the pixel model you play with. Only one step missing is to also reflect the pregnancy stage on the character model in the status screen
- The x-ray cutins are also top notch and I love that both enemies in the game have a unique model for the cutin
- Also love the fact that enemies have two animations. One if they grab you from behind and one if they grab you from the front. So despite only having two enemies you already have four h-animations
- The status screen is also a nice touch and I love that it shows both the egg/womb status and vagina filled state
- I liked that losing all 3 lives you return back at the last checkpoint rather than being kicked to main menu or a full game over
What could be better
- The status screen image should reflect the pregnancy status as well as in the character image there. That way all 3 models reflect it
- The cum filled status should go away after giving birth
- Sprint meter should refill. Even saving and redressing at the house towards the end did not refill my stamina meter
- WASD works, but arrow keys do not fully work, arrow key down for example does nothing so you can't play with arrow keys
- Not sure if you intend for this to purely be stealth but some form of defense would be good. Be it a simple melee attack or a struggle mechanic
- I already mentioned it but yeah the pixel art style in itself is awesome but could be more detailed/higher resolution. But the sex animations are great regardless
- Some of the enemy pathings/timings need to be tightened as I had some weird behaviour that basically made it impossible for me to sneak past certain enemies without being caught. This is especially where you have a drone and an enemy together. I had the drone basically go too far out of its range and then I got spotted by it and then caught by the human
- Without sprint it is impossible to avoid the dogs and it currently doesn't regen nor refill
- I didn't test it but does the game have checkpoints further in or do you always get put back to the start? If so then I would definitely recommend more checkpoints
Figured I'd report a couple of bugs I've noticed as well as maybe a suggestion or two to help smooth out some current jank.
1. The character sprite bugs out and goes invisible if you character has sex in the last stage of pregnancy, then it will reappear if is slightly out of frame/closer up until . Unsure if the initial invisible bug is the character image being sent completely elsewhere than it is supposed to be. Worth looking into all the same.
2. Shown endurance value resets to 3/3 after changing zones or loading a saved game, when it actually stays the same. Might be worth causing the save feature to also restore endurance as there no current way of doing so other than fainting.
3. The inventory/status screen is bugged to where it does not show the correct 'egg' state following your first pregnancy.
4. It is possible to collect the same key multiple times. The key(s) from the tutorial will also carryover to a new game which is odd. If keys are meant to be consumed upon use, then they currently do not leave your inventory after being used which is something that should probably fixed before multiple keys come into play.
5. Despite there being a save point, you will still restart at the beginning of the level when you faint. This is especially noticeable if you return to the first area and faint, at which point you will return to the tree.
Despite these bugs/temporary design oversights, this is a pretty good foundation you have here. Can't wait to see what else you will bring in future updates.

Not at my PC and can't play it yet, so I'll ask here: is the bestiality tag real? If yes, dog or something else?
Dog, yes. Zombies are the other enemy in the game at the moment (unless I missed something).

Potential advice for dev:
- Sped up gameplay that's less centered around waiting. Have enemies change where they're looking faster and speed up mc to compensate. Could have dive for cover or more evasion based struggle, or basic defensive combat.
- Scenes that last longer, have more stages, have faster/more energetic sex animation. Really slap it in there.
- Have the cut-in animation match the thrusting of the pixel animation. Might be tricky but would definitely elevate it.
- Scenes only progress when the player presses a key, let us watch as long as we want and skip at leisure if we've seen enough.
- Taking damage to see scenes and having to restart kinda sucks. Several ways around this. Could maybe have enemies periodically enter a visually horny state. While in this state they initiate sex and do no damage to endurance. While out of this state they do damage and don't initiate sex. Gives player agency and reduces annoyance without trivializing them.
- Move status page so that we can view it without blocking animations/mc.
- Have giving birth be a more active process, don't need to overdo it though.
- Have babies stick around in some way.
- Add a toggle for dark nipples during pregnancy (this one's just selfish personal preference).
- List the baby's "father."
Potential bugs:
Took one damage in level one. Went back up to 3/3 on the second stage, but when I got hit once it went down to 1/3. Seems only the display is being refilled.
Game randomly crashed upon completion of sex scenes.
Stamina didn't recharge. Not sure if it's supposed to be a specifically limited resource or something.
When loading a save, I had vaginal sex listed as 1 but last partner now said "none."
Image stuck on giving birth until replaced by another state.

I personally think the artstyle is fine, her walk animation could use some revision. And I found a bug, if you crouch away from a dog to play the other sex scene, the game immediately crashes after the animation finishes. Other than that, this has lots of potential, and I hope to see this game flourish.
For those that cannot find the "pregnancy" let an enemy have their way with you and sit idle for a while. Eventually a baby forms. Could use more prompts to indicate this, or just give the main character more endurance points, or ways to "submit" to an enemy. Just my opinion.
Edit: found out the "crashing" is only happening once the character is pregnant, and I guess the game doesn't know what to do next, so it crashes.

A nice start, but I worry how much it can expand.
Here's some things I noticed that I didn't see reported above:
- In the second area, the key respawns after you load a saved game.
- The pregnancy status shows "ovulating" after getting fertilized and through the rest of the process.
- Holding the Sprint button while standing still still drains your stamina.
Opinions and suggestions:
- Could you give the protagonist sprite a face? The drunkards being faceless makes sense since there are multiple of them, but unique characters like the protagonist or recurring opponents should have a face if possible.
- Saving should restore Endurance.
- Your home should have a sink where you can clean up before you get pregnant.
- The protagonist can walk, run, duck, jump and hide. That limits how much platforming can be used for level design. The jump is not very high wall-climbing doesn't fit the setting, I don't see a way to use vertical space for level design beyond adding ladders. I don't see how much mileage you can make with only the hiding spots and jumping over threats.
- If the protagonist cannot attack or respond to attacks I don't see how to keep adding new enemies. You could add enemies with different behaviour like a pit trap, a tentacle wall that lowers periodically or a flyer that swoops around. But I feel like you will quickly hit the limit of new enemy designs. A game with combat could have a Drunk variant with more health, a Drunk variant with a taser and a Drunk variant lobbing grenades.
- I suggest giving the player a pebble to throw. It could be used to make drunkards turn and hit Drones causing them to reset.
- This pebble could be a "tool" which could be a good mechanic to design around. A level could have other tools you can swap to. A taser that incapacitates enemies. A stimulant that makes you jump higher and have unlimited stamina. An aphrodisiac that makes you slow for a few seconds but lets you have sex without losing Endurance for the duration.
- Alternatively, each character could have its own tool, letting you play the same levels with different approaches.
- The protagonist could also get corrupted and twisted in a way that gives them new abilities. Ash the Werebeast could climb walls and go in Heat to withstand assaults while Lily the Cyborg could have a grappling hook and lure enemies away with holograms or something.
- In any case this is your game, I'm just a random person on the internet. Develop your game in a way that makes you proud and helps you stay motivated. If you want to focus on adding new scenes over new mechanics feel free to ignore my opinions.

the gameplay's not that bad, however we need more than just 3 endurance for starters, if we can't even recover them: ofc i know the next update's gonna let use the beds in the houses to recover, but it should still very slowly recover, but only like when you're stationary or somthing (don't give it an annoying gimmick)
another thing is: there is that one human where the tree log is where it's kinda almost impossible to dodge him at the moment. so yeah. gonna have to ease him up a little, other than that: the preg thing's looking pretty fine, all you gotta do is find the sprites/A.I. for the belly: and you also need to know what to do with the baby/child birth, and you've got yourself a good game. similar to parasite in city, but unique in it's own way where in that game you can only give birth to bugs n stuff.

Pixel games are always cool. But bald men with their clubs don't look attractive.
Is there a bestiality tag here? Not a single screenshot.

ai isn't always bad, it looks pretty good here, but I do hate it when devs only use ai art instead of using ai art as a base for inspiration
I don't understand how to hide. The game says to hold down, but doing so in front of barrels does nothing.
https://f95zone.to/members/8996332/ Here's my feedback.
What I believe needs improving:
I think this game can have potential with the pixel animations, and hopefully less AI art, I like the concept of the game. I would also like to see the character status portrait, sex scenes (just more sex positions), sound, and story get improved primarily in the game. For status portrait I do see everything, womb and ovulation status which is great and even sperm fertilizing the egg. I think it just needs a visual quality improvement but nothing much else.
If you want you could include an x ray of the zygote dividing itself (cleavage).
For the story I do hope a question gets answered like, why did the Aliens turn males into sex frenzied zombies who are clearly set to "mate on sight" for any females they come across?
I like how there's already an internal view of the penis making contact with the protagonists cervix and creaming it after, but I also agree it is too quick of an animation as some others said.
Suggestions:
This is a me thing but, the dev could mess around with adding more to the impreg, multiple eggs fertilized in one sex session if the protagonist is ovulating or has upgraded fertility or if the sex scene can be looped allowing the npc to creampie the protagonist again, lactating breasts that could be used to blind enemies or drink a charge to restore an endurance life. Get creative.
I'm sure a corruption system will likely soon be implemented. It will be a mental game for the protag to resist but not for her body, I can imagine her hips getting slightly wider to accommodate for birthing (wider hips) and increased fertility (more eggs released during ovulation causing multiple pregnancy, could result in twins or more but I'll leave that to the dev) I can see it happening from her getting pregnant many times.
None of this has to happen, but with the ideas I wrote, it could give some insight.

The game seems fine, but has some issues. Like with the drunkards being able to detect you when you're trying to move past them behind crates, and at least on the Linux client I have experienced crashes while being pregnant and having sex.
Being unable to regenerate stamina is also a slight issue when it comes to healing with the drones.

You are suppose to press S when by some crates to go behind them. You are able to move while hiding behind crates but once you attempt to pass through the sprite of an enemy they will detect you even if youre behind crates.
