The word count and renders for a prologue release seem satisfactory, it might take a little over 1h30 to complete the prologue. I'll play and test it, I hope the word count and renders are a little higher in the upcoming chapters, especially if we take into account the count of a prologue. Congrats to the Dev for his first release and I hope the project goes well.

I will be honest, I read this overview and I don't understand what any of this has to do with the world of theater.

I will give it a chance once I finish some updates I still need to play, but If that's supposed to be the selling point, I am not even sure what I will be getting into...

Ok I finally got to play this prologue, these are my thoughts:

- I already thought this before playing but I don't think the synopsis chosen for this title is helping, this has nothing to do with the world of theater as of now, yes the dev seems to be a fan as you can tell by some dialogues, references and elements, but don't come in expecting to see our guy run a theater or being an actor or something similar.
I would say the main things so far are: Mystery, intrigue, an interesting main character and world.

- Speaking of story, this is like starting to read Lord of the Rings halfway through the second book. Don't get me wrong it's an interesting setting but there is a lot going on that will probably need to be explained by next chapter. I would say, don't come to this prologue expecting to understand everything that happens on screen.

- Dialogues are weird, I totally understand what they are saying and they don't sound bad most of the time but they don't feel natural or like having a normal conversation nowadays.
It depends on how much this bothers you, for me I could totally understand everything so it wasn't that big of a deal.

- Character designs and visuals: they are great, one of the best features of this game and many good models that I haven't seen overused in other games.

- Protagonist: pretty good, so far he has stolen the show in this prelude.

- The LIs: personality wise it still feels like they still need their time to shine, hopefully in the next chapters, if he can make them as interesting as the MC this will be a great game, that being said there are a lot of main girls and I fear this could also mean not everyone gets the same amount of love by the dev.

- This is a "me" problem but I hate how he deals with characters interrupting others when speaking he just shows their dialogue for half a second and then skips to the next, I hate this its confusing and annoying I would rather be shown the full message normally or just show a bit of what the girl is trying to say but don't just skip her automatically for us.

Overall I am definitely interested to see more but I also think he needs to find a way to tone it down and ease the constant overflow of information and new concepts, otherwise I could see myself dropping this if it becomes too hard to follow.

The character design is nice but the story telling is bad, no even knowing the plot talking about even after playing for 15~30 min

Well... Hey everyone!
Hope you’re doing better than I am


Given the recent this mess, I figured I’d make a small update post

First things first:

Yes, the game is currently gone from . And no, this isn’t like the usual shadowban/indexing issues other devs are facing (though I did experience that myself barely two weeks ago — lucky me...)
This time, my files were flagged as “suspicious,” and the game was hidden from everyone

I have no idea why or what rule I might’ve broken. I’ve contacted support and now... it’s a waiting game
Fingers crossed

Second:

Regardless, I won’t abandon the project — at least not until Itch forces me to. Which means...

Yes! I’m already working on 0.1 to deliver more content and continue my little story
I sincerely hope these issues resolve by the time 0.1 is ready

You can track progress via little art I made for this situation
If you’re wondering why the % is low: Since release, I’ve been polishing the Prologue to ensure more players can enjoy it in their native languages

Oh, and for the past two weeks...
I’ve been deep in the character editor, refining my girls and crafting stunning outfits.
Finally happy with the results... So now it’s time for renders and writing!

Sneak peeks?

First teasers drop in August, including the 0.1 devlog

If you're new here...

Moving forward, I’ll likely host files exclusively on mirrors — this mess taught me some painful lessons

That’s all for now. Thanks for reading

Back to work — hope to see you around.

this may be a long shot, but could it be related to credit cards companies cracking down on adult games?

Why the hell has this game been suspended on Itch.io ??



It does not contain any harmful tags or harmful content, does it?
