So the game opens right away with watching the main villain shooting someone and then getting a blowjob, because you know why are we doing adult video games if we can't turn everything into a sexual matter, am I right? Its not exactly shown(HC), you see her kneel before him and then just the back of her head, but still completely unnecessary.

We then get dropped into the expo dump about mom being a secret agent and aunt a secret stripper, lol, not sure if its just done for the demo, but kinda weird way to intro the characters. We combine that with the redacted define your relationships prompts.

View attachment 4439875 View attachment 4439885 my bet is on voyeurism being one of them :Kappa:

Not exactly a fan of the constant narrations, almost feels like the script was for a regular novel and someone made some renders for it, rather than it being designed as a visual novel. Never played any of the dev's other games, no idea if this is consistent, will see if I can get used to it, or it will make me gouge my eyes out, especially if its just explaining what I'm already seeing in the images.

The dev is talented artist, that much I can safely say and not a bad writer per se, just different to the way we are used in the genre, I guess.

Moving on, I always appreciate when we are given option not to creep on people, fast forward we get with our day, arrive at school and

Unavoidable and this time its even animated :KEK: Yeah, there is no way this isn't going into cuck territory.

Will continue when I'm done with the game
I read about the striper aunt and mom getting grabbed and thought that was bad enough, but depending on execution could be moved past, but a girl that will most certainly be showing up later and is likely a love interest sucking off an old fucker for better grades is just a clear sign about what type of game this is, especially when the Mc is literally in the room while it's happening.

Why are so many devs obsessed with showing cute girls (who are 99 times out of 100 love interests) sucking some other asshole's cock? :cautious:

Not for nothing, but the "sex for grades," concept is one of the dumbest porn plots out there and so many devs use it for the Mc "to get blackmail," on a girl or teacher. Or to show that a girl is slutty and good for early sex scenes. It's just dumb and lazy. Any chick with half a brain would just record herself making the offer and the guy accepting and then have his balls in a vice with that blackmail alone. And any educator that had a student make such an offer would be stupid to accept it since it's nearly guaranteed to end badly. And if he made the offer to the girl then he is really stupid because she'd just needs to show up to do it and record him then while she asks him to clarify what he wants then, boom, got his ass for blackmail that he can't just undo. Like, if the guy lies and doesn't change her grade, or if he just says, "No, you're still failing you stupid whore but thanks for the blowjob," what could she even do? Nothing. Hence why that is dumb as hell as a plot line. Also, principals don't control individual student's grades, her math teacher would be the one that has to change it and if the principal did try to force the math teacher to change the grade it would be weird and raise questions as to why.

But whatever, I'm now putting more thought into this than it seems like the developer did, :LOL:

I already edited my post with what was left, turns out it wasn't much left of the game after that point.

Regardless where the game goes, I feel its fair to give props to how the MC acts if you are choosing to/not to ogle the family, I think it was done well, so at least the MC isn't just a horny creeper by default, so far, a trope that I hate with a burning passion.

OK, earlier when I scan the first part of this game to see if the Universal Mods would work with this or not to decide if I should add this to the Games to Play List, I didn't not see the pics of characters next to the text. That pic of the brain there, that is actually more freaky than the opening of this game. ;):LOL::ROFLMAO:

The woman is my mum, and Auntie Liz is the one who gets my name right. ;):LOL::ROFLMAO: But seriously, name aside, and that creepy brain I spoke about in my previous post, caught up with the Dev, and as for the story, very interesting, that's for sure. Truly a good start, and has me wondering what is next for this game. So glad Universals worked with this, as that's why I added it. Thank you so very much for this!!!

Jesus christ its not that fucking deep. It's a freaking porn game used to play out fantasies and fetishes that most would never imagine doing irl. How is this so difficult to understand. I'm sure some of you guys once you hit that renpy exe think your rl stops existing. There's also literally thousands of games without any of this stuff in so maybe go focus your weird energy on them?

You're right, it isn't difficult to understand. I, and plenty of other folks, don't like seeing a bunch of dicks banging chicks that the main character will bang, or just in general, and we don't like girls who act like sluts. Each added dick decreases my enjoyment exponentially. I like the story to focus on the main character and what he's doing and I like the chicks to not be whores. You seem to disagree, cool, to each there own. I'm not sure why my opinions and preferences offend you though? I'm not a fan of this type of stuff. I also don't like when love interests are killed, when a game has scat scenes or bestiality, or games with an Mc that abuses children. Do my opinions about those fetishes offend you too or can I say those things without getting negative responses like I'm some how morally deficient for wanting a coherent story that has fetishes I enjoy?

All I was doing is talking about what is in the game at the moment and my thoughts on it. You felt the need to talk about me. The fact that me not liking it causes this reaction in you is far more telling then me just pointing out the fact that I think the plot line is silly and I think the story could have been better, which shouldn't have any impact on you or your enjoyment of it at all.

It is funny that me and folks like me get told to just go away and ignore stuff we don't like, when all we're doing is letting the dev know our thoughts and letting others who might feel the same way know what is in the game, but then folks like yourself feel the need to respond and even insult us. Why don't you take a page from your own advice and just ignore me and my "weird energy," and enjoy the game?

I don’t know how many people this post will reach, but the game will not focus on NTR. The beginning with Krestov and Irina is meant to build up an antagonist that you will truly hate. Liz is a stripper, not a prostitute, and I want to build Sarah more conservatively, as someone who hasn't felt her sexual side for a long time. She will not have sex with other characters, at most it will happen against her will, followed by a 'Game Over' screen. So if you see anyone talking about these topics, feel free to show them this post.

Ugh again with the pretentious dialogue that tells everything I already see. It's a visual novel no need to explain in pretentious words what the character is doing I can already tell by watching the image. Overall it is all good and a nice start.

Well if the Focus of the Game is not NTR probably not the best idea make everyone having action but the MC and the worst part whit the main characters we want to romance It isnt that hard i know you want to build some tension but one thing is build tensión and another scare you player base we can say you maked a Concord porn versión XD
Good luck whit the Game unless you change the beginning you are gonna need It first impresions are very important and the first impresión i get fron this Game is a ntr or voyeur Game .

and that'syour best idea to make an antagonist? doesn't bode well
Liz is a stripper, not a prostitute,
what's the difference? both offer sexual favors in exchange for cash. Sure strip clubs have rules against prostitution but those are mostly guideline to cover their asses in case of a police raid...
She will not have sex with other characters, at most it will happen against her will
you o know NTR doesn't require consent for it to count?
I wish for once a dev had the balls to come out of the ckiset and admit they are makin a cuck game instead of making excuses. at least nature is healing in other areas

Like I said, when I played it I got the feeling it will turn out full of technicalities, 'she isn't a LI yet' 'MC and her aren't in a committed relationship', 'its just for the mission, she doesn't actually enjoys it and she was thinking about the MC the whole way' 'its a flashback from long before MC liked her' 'She is a sexually frustrated lady that hasn't had luck in love, so we absolutely need to know all the details about how she deals with that with random hookups' and now confirmed 'Bad ending rape'. We all know them...

A lot of fledgling devs are more concerned with how they can get away with something with loopholes, instead of how they can make their characters as desirable as possible, so the main target audience can't wait to conquer them. I will be shocked, depending if the dev gets spooked by the reception, if the original plans were not for the girl sucking dicks for grades to be dateable and come to ask the MC for help to escape the evil principal, although she seems to do it of her own accord in that scene.

It feels like AVNs lately have started to become playing the game until you find the least shitty LI, not the best one, which is incredibly weird design philosophy AND marketing for me, thats why I always advice new devs to pick a lane and stick to it, rather than insult everyone's intelligence with mental gymnastics. Unironically it is not just better for their peace of mind, but also financially if he commits to a genre/audience and is transparent about it from the get-go.

Will come back to play the next update, but it feels the players and the dev are not on the same wave length in terms of how characters and scenes come across.

I've been noticing that trend in a lot of newer games too.

Yeah that girl was cute, always such a waste to see cute girls used in those kinds of scenes or as prostitutes and such. And I wouldn't be surprised if the plan for Sophia blowing the principal was/is for the Mc to eventually record them and blackmail them both, her for sex and him for something else like information about some other plot line. Maybe the dev will get wise and remove that scene (as if I'm not mistaken it currently adds nothing but a random cut away scene of another guy getting his dick sucked and could be cut entirely without removing anything important) and instead have her not be a dumb slut.

If the plan is for the Mc to "save" her from the evil principal as you suggested it might be then it fall into something I've always said about story lines where the Mc saves a girl... have the Mc save her BEFORE she gets used and abused (such as; have him save her from ever having to do sexual favors) and it will have the same effect story-wise (Mc gets to be a hero and save her) and a much better effect for the average reader/player (the player isn't forced to see anotehr guy's dick getting wet).

But idk if it's worth waiting around for the answers and seeing what the long term plans are or if the dev is taking advice and suggestion.

Also I have a question for you NebulousShooter:
