Don't get upset, these are the same people who entered the game, played it for 15m, couldn't unlock the entire gallery as they wanted and automatically decided that they didn't like the game and came here to complain and hate it.

This game is very good and although not everyone expresses their opinion, it is clear that 9/10 people liked it.

It is a game to play without rushing, enjoy the details (I liked the detail of the pauses, it abuses it a lot but I really hope not enough), appreciate its animations (+30!) and its good quality.
It will have some details to polish, but nothing really important, just technical things.


Only 26k people have seen it, it is not yet known but it is clear that it is on the right path and still has a long way to go, perhaps apart from the 3-4 chapter you can get a real opinion of the game, it has started strong and very promising.

Sorry for my English, it's not perfect

Can we get an option to make the textbox transparent so we can see more of the render? Drop shadows then for the text might be needed. Also, an option to remove the avatar would be nice.

Render quality looks amazing. Really amazing.

That being said, a third of the ladies on the banner and previews indeed do not look beautiful. I see people here saying saying the models are (meant to be) realistic...but beautiful people exist in reality too, you know. You dont need to make someone ugly to make them realistic.

As someone who also watches real porn, i naturally gravitate towards the actually beautiful models...coz its porn, art, performance, etc and i am not there to admire a 5/10 having sex when i could be watching a 8 or a 9. Same for movies, actually. Given a choice i wouldnt watch a Romance movie where (leading) characters are intentionally kept unattractive just coz it represents a sizable irl population either. First impressions matter and its difficult to give the story a chance when the LIs are unattractive.

To make my point, let me ask you: would you choose to have a unpleasant voice for the LIs? Thats realistic too. Imagine having to hear moans which sound realistically horrible in a sex scene (my neighbor sounds like a choking cat trying to scream as loud as possible once every 2 weeks or so, for example).

Tldr- amazing details on renders, but i would have prefered to have beautiful LIs (like the one in preview 6) instead of looking like the neighbor (preview 8) who i do not want to watch having sex.

Needs Name Custumisation for MC;
More choices in Sex scenes. It's more a VN than a game...
Skip Key option for dialogues wich is deactivated in Options.

Greats graphics.

Love the models and renders, the animation are maybe the best I've in a VN so far, for sure among the tops.

The story seems interesting so far, but there is not much to comment about. I'm not a fan of the double MC though, I would have preferred to just play as one character.

As someone said the gameplay is not the best, all those timers and buttons don't seem to add nothing to the gameplay, at least for now they are just a bit annoying and slow down the narration for no reason.

My only big complain is about the save. I understand Iron Mode, but the fact that there is only one page for saves prevents to play multiple playthroughs at the same time, which is a big deal for a non-finished game with many branches. And even in Iron Mode I would add an option to start a new game on a new Auto-Save in order to play multiple playthroughs at the same time.
The lack of saving pages is also a big problem considering that the gallery only has achievements and not replays, so as the game goes on it will be impossible to rewatch all the lewd scenes.

There's going to be a patch coming shortly that addresses some of the issues raised by those I've been having private conversations with .. I'll post the changelog soon ..

For anybody on the Discord server you can see what's been changed already (Patrons only section) - or likewise on the Patreon page under the Community tab

The Save system has been expanded in the latest patch (when released!) to 15 manual and 15 Ironman save slots. For technical reasons - I had to take out the multi page saved slots but I'm investigating how to get it back in.

The Achievements gallery will be getting an expansion - probably for Chapter 3 - to include stand-alone replays of scenes and a Movie Player. Just never had the time to squeeze it in before release.

I did an experiment, I added her long hair with an AI

Short hair is fine. But there are different kinds of short hair styles. Why not let the AI come up with different short hairstyles? I'd like to see four of those if possible.

I already spent the free credits of the AI I used for those examples. If you want, you can try it yourself

I played this for about 15 minutes, does this get better? It felt really slow, and I didn't like anybody and think that all of the men were old, bald, or balding.

PS: The audio is extremely low, and the game refuses to stay in windowed mode.

I have played it with opacity and yes...is MUCH better...but the bad thing about playing with less opacity is that the text is small and you have to strain your eyes to read:HideThePain:

That's why I asked for a drop shadow for the text. It should solve that problem. The dev says he will take care of it with the next update. Should be good.
