Lots of potential. Love the art style. Not a lot of content right now.

Most games ive tried here on F95 feel like they miss the mark when it comes to being complete with content or enjoyment. So for instance many RPG maker games that populate the site feel cookie cutter like. Then I see many japanese games are censored and/or lack good translations not to mention they got content I don't like. Ive seen a few complete games so far that were satisfying in my opinion, Elven Conquest 1 & 2, Detective Girl of the Steam City and Hentai Asmodeus. I would post a link of the games but I heard that may not be allowed here. So many games are still incomplete or in the beta phase.
Hentai asmodeus has pretty good art too, if youre okay with pixel art then check out Dandy Boy, that game is pretty promising too even though its still in development.

-Quickie: A Love Hotel Story might also be worth checking if you like the anime style art and its uncensored.

How do you scroll down through the phone menus? For example: the gallery only shows me the first three scenes and I simply can't scroll down further than them. If I try pressing the down key through them it goes through the first three and lands on Hide UI instead of continuing further.

Use the scroll wheel on the mouse, if you use one. Some also trackpads allow scrolling by moving two fingers up or down at the same time.

THE NUMBERS MASON WHAT DO THEY MEAN

THE NUMBERS MASON WHAT DO THEY MEAN

maybe it's a quest for next update?

THE NUMBERS MASON WHAT DO THEY MEAN

Those numbers have been in the game since the first version. I don't think that they are used for anything at the moment, but as Gunnams said, this is probably the groundwork for a future quest.

 

[Dark_Mambele]

so what was new in this update?

 

[Nitsneaky]

I'm sorry if this has been addressed before but:

In order to avoid Patreon's censorship, couldn't a naming system based on user input be implemented in order to avoid calling your mom Jo and things like that? I've seen many games implement this system before.

Something like, "what is your relationship with this character?" for Flora and Jo, and "what does MC call this character?" for Jo.

The artwork is beautiful btw

No, please, anything but that! I've given my 2 cents on the matter before, but that this game doesn't have the cancer that is the "what is your relationship to those characters" system works in its favor.

Putting in placeholders that will need to be replaced by the user input later on just limits the writers' creativity and creates weird sounding sentences that break the immersion. The relationship the protagonist has to Jo and Flora is perfectly clear by their interactions and dialogues, which feel perfectly natural. I'd rather we have that than horrible writing and a "Wow, she's so hot! What am I saying, she is my mother!" and "Me and Flora, my sister, have always had a bit of a rivalry going on." to show that the characters are related.

And if you're not fully into that particular genre, you can just pretend like it's not what's happening lol

It's not the genre that's the problem. I don't mind incest in media, it's just that particular way of dealing with it due to censors.

As it is now, the writers are doing a stellar job at writing in such a way that the relationship between the main character, Jo and Flora is obvious without stating it in cliched ways. Making them put in placeholders that the player will put their own words in will make certain lines feel either completely out of place or badly written. Context is very important when deciding which term to use when one addresses someone. Sister, sis, her and she can all be used for Flora, all determined by context. Losing that context and having to put placeholders in places where the relationship between characters will have to be called to attention will put shackles on the writers and reduce the quality of the writing.

All I want to say with this is - Please, don't ruin a good thing with unnecessary additions.

I understand what you mean, but I think that awkward dialogue doesn't happen due to placeholders but because most porn game developers can't write for shit, which is not the case with this game.

I agree, writing "she is my sister btw" every two lines is extremely immersion breaking, but so is referring to your (not) mom as "Jo".

I think in this case the developer is skillful enough to apply a placeholder system properly, but in the end it's their decision and I'll respect whatever they choose either way.

Oh no I agree wholeheartedly. Even if it's not what I'm really into, I download the patches for it cause that's how the games are really meant to be played. So it kinda does help with the 'immersion'. That being said, contextual storytelling is handled very well here. Honestly I think I prefer the way its handled in this game over most, allowing for you to have more freedom of thought. Allowing for customisation would likely mess that up because then you need to account for a multiplicity of variables including say, making Flora my pet Apothicon. And that kinda stifles a writer's ability to have a natural conversation because you'd then need to take into account the idea that a character could be representing so many different things to players. So it's a good direction the game's going in and I'm looking forward to what they do in the future!

Does this have a android port?

 

[mrpopo69]

This game will be good. It's a bit wordy for my tastes but I like the art and the questing system. Was bummed out to find out that there are quests which begin and have no ending yet. I wouldn't have known if I didnt look up the walkthrough lol

exact same thing happened to me, it's pretty good though and would like to see how things pan out!

 

[MissMcMissyFace]

Anyone know where I can find an updated version of the walkthrough? The one in OP's is very incomplete


edit: Nevermind.. I thought this was a complete game due to the version being past 1.0.0 / Looks like I'll check back in a few months!

 

[milfluv69]

Is there an ETA on the next update for this?

Is it only for $7 patrons? I'm currently in the $2 tier and the lock for the post isn't specifying that I need to be in the incel tier, just that I need to be a patron despite already being one.
