having such severe path split (school/home) right from the start feels like huge waste of content and development time for no actual gain
it's not like fetish choice or LIs pick, nor even minor story choice (run/stay), it might as well be two different games
it will be even worse as game progresses further as more choices start to pile up, bringing extra headache for development and even less content for players on each path

well i do hope it is, cuz i quite liked game so far
writing is decent (even thought whole meteor/sun bit is questionable, but at least it's fresh), character are distinct (although some have a bit exaggerated archetypes), MC is not a pussy (at least on my school-brave-cruel path), pacing can do a little work (teacher going for a dick was little too fast) and hard pauses must burn in hell (4-6 seconds? are you for real?), but all and all game is good

Yeah I agree with everything, but I'm not removing hard pauses:BootyTime:
Most of them are not so long and are tied to cutscenes

Pretty cool game so far, I'm a huge sucker for dystopian and horror-esque type of games and the whole sun going out thing is cool. I do suggest maybe changing the plot of an asteroid destroying the sun though. That makes no sense at all, even when later its stated that certain pieces of the sun are still going and thats why there's still warmth. It's easier to write off the sun being gone as this gigantic alien asteroid passing by the sun and creating a massive dust cloud, blanketing the world in darkness for the unforseeable future. Also I kinda agree with the dude above about the two stories thing. With an immediate split in the story, you're basically going to have to flesh out two massive stories OR have them connect very soon. Otherwise, both stories will feel barebones and dull. It also kinda sucks we miss out on so much content by having to choose right out of the gate. Overall pretty good though, looking forward to more updates for sure. Still feel like it's kinda too early to write a review about it, so I decided to write this novel.

game is amazing, but i agree with those lads about the path splitting... just too much.. i hate missing content.. and you lose a good chunk depending on the path you choose. And the horror of having to have 10000 saves for each path, choice, and decision.

I hope you got something cooking that will connect them soon. I see this being a developmental headace. And for me personally, drawing away my interest.

good luck tho.

I am not sure what the problem is with the split at the beginning. I actually liked all the different paths and you learn a lot from all of them. Depending on your choices, you get much different outcomes on both sides of the split. More on one than the other but... I managed to play all the possible paths with no problem at all. After proofreading so many games, I am pretty sure I did not miss anything. Maybe it comes from stories with 14 to 15 (or more) possible paths. This did not even take that many saves.

Well personally, I guess it stresses me out that to release updates either you have to do 2 paths at once or alternate releases...
Аnd have a few saves.

it may be a me problem but I dont play different paths, even if i replay a game i play the same path again. I dont play games with multiple LIs when its not a harem game. And I'm sure as hell won't start with named saves for different routes.

I also use WT mods when ever possible.

Like i said for me the game is now just 50% content I missed.

Harem tag? Is it even possible to "get them all"? Like, when there was a choice to help these two, I immediately said, -"Go fuck yourself. I'm not your wingman and my MC definitely is not fucking sharing! Get lost."
And echoing others, I'm really not that oprimistic about this one, chief. Looks like it's going to be hell for developer and players alike. I've checked every path (except for the wingman path, no thanks. fuck that shit), even though story looks pretty good/okay/okayish, but there are already some problems.

First thing is amount of paths and "forks" in the sory. If you choose to run away and don't get "Brave" perk, you'll miss out on the handjob scene. Prompt for picking a choice procks only then, otherwise you won't even know about it. She just leaves. Tho, scenes after this are wastly different, and personally, "Cold-headed/hearted" path is better. (tho, it won't work in reality in the way it was shown. At. Fucking. All. But I've turned off my brain and reined in my suspension of disbelief, when the sun exploded) Later you can get "Brave" perk through other choice in this path too. But that's problem in itself for me too, now I want to hoard them. My choice is now depends on it, now I want to get all interesting to me perks and I don't really care, if I have to do something I otherwise wouldn't done for them. This all f sucks, I hate it. It's so f annoying and frustrating. Ughh.
That's just single case, but if we remeber about every other choice, path and possible future ones... I already used up more than 3 sheets of saves and I've tried using them really sparingly. It's going to be such clusterfuck of saves at some point...

Second thing is bugs and how many of them there are going to be possibly in the future, for example this one: "Even if I killed the soldier, later Alicia says it was Luna." I got it too on my first/"true" playthrough. Thanks to this my primary/main experience and impression of this game are already smeared. "It's fine! It's no big deal!" But if it's such a small deal, why is it there? It's just beginning, we're just starting and there's not that much to proofread, but can you imagine how big this can become at the later stages of development. And if we try to dig deeper in it, developer couldn't comprehend or think that someone can get or be "Compassionate" and "Brave" simultaneously (or that these traits described in the game itself or by their own description are mutually exclusive), that is letting already dead man suffer more is being ""compassionate"". But I hope, it's just oversight.

"Chill man, everything is under control" Yeaaaah, sure man...
I really like your game. It isn't stellar or anything that new and characters are trait/cliche deep, but it's good, it's good. And that is already way more than majority of the games on this site can offer. And it'll be a real shame if it gets "Abandoned" tag down the road. For whatever possible reason. For now, I'll keep my review to myself, for now, as there not many people and my review is definitely going to lower overall score. As I really don't want to ruin what you have here and I hope you'll complete this game and achieve what you had in mind, when you envisioned it in its full glory.

Feels like another game that will die by the amount of paths
