Still playing through the release but a few notes I wanna make so far:

1 Author has really fresh takes for an AVN it reminds me a little of breeding island which was a peak game. The fact that most of the girl have a blend of the monstrous/weirdly erotic look(limited by the koikatsu engine for some creatures more than others) make it a definite watch.

2 Promising start that starts you right into the action without too much bogging down, hopefully that means a lot more showing than telling as major lore dumps can be a lot especially for early builds unless the writing is solid.

3 More of a suggestion, maybe include a warning on game start that recommends saving at any choice because if you manage getting pretty far into a run by making good choices it would be frustrating to skip back to the choice the first time. (Happened to me and i was like is that it?)

4 for the first zombie partner maybe if the MC is communicating with her through an empathic mind link type deal you could add the impressions/feelings he is receiving from her as a kind of reply because as it is MC seems to be assuming a lot and is potentially delusional to danger. I don't really mind since snu snu with Zombie amazons sounds great but it kinda broke the tension/pacing for me. I was expecting to get attacked immediately on waking up.

Great start so far might drop a review once its a little further along.

It was enjoyable despite how short it was (not what she said). I think the story got jumbled up at some point (unless it was on purpose) but its fine. Enjoyable characters though.

Thanks for the nice reviews, I wanted to make a weird Visual novel about yet another numb apathetic dude dealing with weird shenanigans while being killed by not creepy enough creatures that want to fuck him dead or alive.

Little bad news though, I am not really a fan of stretching stories out so I plan on neatly wrapping this up after 2 more updates and giving multiple endings depending on the choices you made that didn't kill you.
If people like it enough then one of said endings will give room for an "endless mode" where you can get killed and fucked by the many weird Koikatsu thingies I've made.
Let's see how things go for now though.

Digging the fucked up ladies (and femboy) and the black metal. A decent way to use the ever-present Koikatsu engine, will definitely keep checking it out. May this sacrifice of ewe's blood to Balzorkr invigorate your penis with Nordic runes.

Thank you.
I'm still a very surface level Black metal fan who has only listed to Anthems Of The Welkings? At Dawn, In The Night Side Eclipse, Live in Leipzig and De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas.
You can probably guess how I came up with the game title.

Thank you very much for the feedback.
1. Breeding Island was actually my first proper F95 zone AVN, everything I played before that was in a similar level to Fate Stay Night so It was definitely an experience.
2. Yeah I do my lore dumps over at discord, you'll only get the necessary bits in game but if you meet me anywhere else, I'll dump everything from the story conception to that one wet sleep paralysis event I had as a kid. I am a very chatty texter despite how emotionally dead my main characters usually are.
Too text chatty for my own good to be honest.
3. Thanks, I'll put that at the start of the next update because the spirit summoning event is going to have a lot of death depending on the choices you made since the beginning.
Here's a few hints:
- Spirit affinities for stronger ones can be raised by being nice to the lesser ones even before you summon them.
- The fire likes too eat but if you feed her too much, she just might kill you.
-Your relationship with Karna and Pale ghoul(I'll name her Maria) have different effects on what you will summon.

4. She is somewhat inspired by other mute characters like The Goddess from the Priest Of Corruption Manhwa and I'd like for people to imagine that she's saying either the silliest or horniest thing whenever she "communicates" with the mc.
And yes you are kind of right, he originally didn't understand her and was just going on instinct but he very quickly learned how to read her.

Unlike the grey zombie who only chooses between kill, fuck and eat, Maria has better control over her instincts which is why she tries to get on his good side instead of just killing him and doing the necro dance.
The MC on the other hand is just so detached that the only thing he thinks of whenever he actually manages to feel the urgency of danger is how to reduce the pain as much as possible. Man views death as an escape from life.

5. I've yapped enough for today, I'll come back for more some other 12am instead of writing the remaining chapters of my graduation project/mini thesis.

I can hook you up but it'll cost you an arm, a leg and your booty.
Still want it? Note that I am a very bisexual dude who hasn't fucked a man in 4 years so I am literally starving for "man's butt":p

For real I've never understood why people fear creatures, Paralysis Demons, the thing under the bed and haunted beings are just extra stuff to fuck when you can't be bothered to contact your freaky ex.

The reason I like stuff like this is specifically because they can't kill and/or eat me. I know I'd be frightened of them if they were real and that adds another layer of enjoyment for some reason.
