Hello, thank you for uploading the game, we hope you will enjoy it. :)
Quick question before I get too interested: When you say 'BDSM', which exactly do you mean? the Bondage and Discipline or the Sadism? because there is a huge difference. Not gonna judge, but I have exactly zero interest in getting my (few) hopes up and jumping into a vat of demeaning, dehumanizing cruelty that many developers pass off as BDSM.

I think that to avoid misunderstandings it is necessary to clearly specify in GENRE or TAGS that (at least so far) the only viable paths, are these dominant or submissive, that are exclusively lesbian.
It is evident that, beyond the premises, a straight dynamic is not contemplated by the DEV.
No problem at all, everyone has their own tastes, but, do not waste the time of those who are not interested in LGBTQIA + / futanari dynamics, just for the sake of correctness please.
Thanks

What do you think the SM part of BDSM stands for?

And currently there's basically no content in this game. Lily can rub one out and there's a bit of nudity, but that's it. You can't even currently define her sexuality. There's not enough here to warrant calling it a demo or even a proof of concept. At this rate, there might be enough to justify calling it a proof of concept by this time next year. There are currently 6 in game days and none of your decisions have had any impact as of yet. And yet we've been asked what we want her sexuality to be every fucking update so far.

I sense ptoential on this one guys, the dev/s seems to alrdy know where he's going and seems organized enough to propose all these variables. I swear if this had to tier designs and renders, it'd alrdy be one of the most anticipated female protag AVNs out there. Ig dev will get better at them I hope.

The game at its base is interesting. A FMC who's not a dimwit, whose choices really do affect how dominant or submissive she is. Plus, the characters don't look stock. Varying degrees of attractiveness, but that's part of what makes it work. Actual variety in appearances. I've read other comments saying that this is just a lesbian game, too, but that's not true. There are a few male options, leaning both toward dominant and submissive roles.

All that said, the translation and narration are absolutely brutal. Definitely needs a lot of work moving forward.

It's a good start, looking forward to seeing how the world fills out.

Wellllllll... since you asked:

Yes, I know what it stands for, but for *most* usage (especially amongst the actual community), it means a mild / spicy inflicting/receiving of pain (spanking, denial, clips, etc.) but no actual *damage* or intent to inflict actual harm.

IT. IS. PLAY.

however, in so many games, it is portrayed as something that will (and should) get the dom 20+ years in prison as it does inflict true torture, scarring, and dangerous - if not fatal - actions done to the sub. Like either schoolyard bullies who stupidly act out their rage against the world or truly sick sociopaths, they act with intent to go beyond *any* sane measure of sex-play and then just say it is BDSM.

Further, there is a huge difference between two people having sex (however they go about it and games they play) and some pathetic fuck reducing another human being to a mere object (that they usually destroy) for their amusement.

Finally, besides being psychologically destructive, this sort of thing hides under the skirt of 'free speech' while portraying an entire segment of society as something that needs to be 'nuked from orbit' and causing dissent and misconception between those who like BDSM and the rest of humanity.

plus (and this is the part that really upsets me), asking for clarification on how something is portrayed so you can decide if you are interested hardly deserves an insulting response.

Yeah, the term should be BDSD: bondage, discipline, submission, and dominance. I agree that sadism is a mental disorder and, when too extreme, masochism can be, as well. There are plenty of perfectly well-adjusted masochists, but no perfectly well-adjusted sadists.

I have the feeling (and hope) that the game features BDSD rather than BDSM.
