Hey, this has some kind of potential imo. Really needs a map and a faster walk speed tho, cause it takes forever to go from point A to point B, and you don't even know where the point B is, which is pretty wild.
That music loop is pretty cool tho, what's the source?
Hi, I am the game developer. Thanks for the feedback. I do plan to make changes to it. I thought about adding a map but the whole point of the game play is to make the player find stuff in the world. I got the music from the Unity asset store. If you like the game please consider buying it or joining my Patreon. With some support I can really turn it into a high quality game.

Nothing looks promising. An easy cash grab try, experimental, etc. maybe, don't know. At least have a decent cover/menu image, but nope...
If it's just a sincere amateur effort, then good luck to the dev, but it needs ton of work.
Hi, I am the games sole dev. and it is a sincere amateur effort...and I think the cover image is decent. Why don't you make me a better one?

Hmmm... a few minutes in I can say the following:

Ask Raven (in the old church) if she's a witch (1st option) to proceed.

The UI is a bit crappy. No prefs, only 1 save slot, no inventory. The text is really small and text speed not adjustable.

Also it's giving me a bit of a headache.
Hi, I am the dev for the game. Thanks for the feedback. I am going to make the text bigger in the next update. There is no need for inventory in the game so I left that out. I do suck at UI design but maybe I will try and work on making that a bit better. If I actually sell some copies of the game I will hire a UI artist to help out.

After reading all these complaints about a game I worked countless hours on (well over 1000 hours) I think I would have been better off just making a game with only the sex scenes and no gameplay at all. Maybe in the next update I will add a skip to sex scenes option for all the people who only want to play the game for that. Why even play a game for that reason? Just go watch porn if you want only sex scenes. I promises It is much better than any video game will ever be. I was really going for a more story driven dating simulator but It seems like maybe that's not a popular game idea. I can't believe there are so many haters here that got a game for free and still hate it. I think maybe y'all really just hate yourselves and use bashing a video game to express your anger.

There is no need for inventory
I wasn't sure if I already had found all 5 required chamomile plants or just 4 and instinctively pressed "I" to open up an inventory to check.

But thanks for replying anyway. (y)

P.S. What about a map? When you're used to instant transfer in most adult games, running around in BL feels super slow.

That's not what people are saying, nor is it what (at least for me) the complaints are about. Games that are open-world and able to be explored are just fine. The issues are with execution? It is missing a lot of features that would make it more enjoyable, like a map or an inventory screen. Any perceived anger would be more about the sheer amount of time-wasting that happens. Swimming around a massive, weirdly shaped lake, hunting for a key, is not game-play. It is a fetch-quest, not a puzzle. It is a time-sink, not exciting or interesting. No one is going to enjoy shit like that. It isn't a grind, it is BORING.

Also, like it or not when you put content into the public space you open yourself up to criticism. It is up to you as the creator to choose how to take the criticism; you can lash out at the people who are being critical and refuse to listen to the complaints, or you can choose to be open to seeing the deficiencies in your product and attempt to change or fix them. I think it is far more telling that multiple people had the same issues and problems with the game.

I appreciate what you were striving for, and I wasn't attacking you on a personal level, because I don't know you. This isn't personal at all. But yes, I am being critical of your game. I am not saying it is an awful game, but it is lacking in certain areas, at least in my opinion.

1. It needs a map of some kind. Quest markers would be a huge plus.
2. Show me what I am looking for, especially with the key. I swear so many times i thought I saw it but it only ended up being a yellowed leaf or something. I had no idea what kind of key I was looking for. I swear I spent 40 minutes swimming around the water looking for it, only to realize later I already had it but HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING THIS because...
3. It needs an inventory screen of some kind, and I reject your comment about it not needing one. It absolutely needs an inventory screen to save me and anyone else from wasting so much time. It would be hugely helpful if I could reference what I had on me vs. what I still needed to find. Because I didn't get a clear indicator telling me I had already retrieved the key, I spent way more time than I should have swimming around the water. Thankfully you apparently don't have to breathe, I would have given up a lot sooner if I had to constantly come up for air.
4. Get rid of the fixed camera positions during the sex scenes. Seriously, why are the cameras fixed like that?

I won't critique the overall look of the game; while I think it is ugly in some areas, it is serviceable in others. I will say that the textures on the girls could be better, especially the goth chick in the run-down church. When I first walked up to her I thought she had body hair all over her.

All of this is to say... I appreciate you putting content out, but don't close yourself off to criticism, because taking what other people say and feel about something you made and using it to improve things will only result in a better game.

Or you can whine about what people are saying and stick your head in the sand. Honestly I don't really care, it isn't my game. Do what you want.

I gave up during the "Hunt the Wolves" quest. I killed several, have no idea how many more I need, and got frustrated with the "you can walk through these trees but not THESE trees". I can see the wolves feet through the trees but can't hit them, and I can't walk to where they are in the dark and ... eff it, I give up.

RIP :LOL:
...
Steam will say no to him and then turn around and sell a game titled "Futa Fix: Dick, Dine n' Dash" lmao.

But yeah, it sounds like this is the final version of the game? At least I hope it is, since he's got a patreon going to start development of Bachelor Life 2.
Maybe it has to do with QUALITY. If you make money on this mess, you're cheating people.

This feedback is fantastic! I don't want people looking for that key for 40 mins that's for sure. I thought it was an obvious spot since there is not much in the lake I just figured people would look in the biggest object in the lake. I was wrong about that.

I am working on the next update now. I am adding a nav system with quest markers to make it easy to find the next item you need. I am making the UI text bigger and I will be fixing bugs people have reported and working on the "ugly" graphics. Keep an eye out for the next update. I hope to have it done in a few days. I will be happy to send you a free copy of the game if you can provide me with more feedback to help improve it when I get this next update done. Just let me know.

Sorry to hear you are frustrated. I am fixing this on the next update. Each wolf will have a nav marker on them so you can easily find them.

Quick question I can't seem to get past the new game button, is that common and is it because of my computer(too slow?)?

The sex scenes are pathetic and you get dragged through the mud to get to them.

Well, I'm really surprised somebody took an effort to make a sandboxy 3d game with an actual gameplay!

I understand it can be hours, days, months of hard work. I really appreciate it.

I really like the direction of this. Haven't played much yet, it's going to take a while since I noticed you have to complete some quests to get it moving but I'll try it out definitely. But yes to open world - sandbox games like this one!

Are there any M/M scenes here?

I like the concept. I always enjoy freeroam games where you pick which characters to focus on and do it your own way.


However the UI is hard to deal with, tiny text noo indicators, even a small crosshair dot to work out what Im focusing on would be good. Stuck on the haunted house riddle quest because it flashed up once and I cant read it again. A proper inventory would be good
