How do I save? The save menu goes away once the left frame gets taken over by the Background Characters.

EDIT: Okay, I figured it out. If I make the window full screen I can see the save menu on the bottom.

This game is incredibly ambitious, but shows a good amount of polish so far. Great use of AI. Looking forward to it.

One thing, is it really a good idea to increase stats by multiples of 0.1? If you multiplied every number by ten, you could keep everything the same but make the numbers cleaner.

yes, I only tested with 2-4k resolution and already was worried that some might experience this issue. I might have to remove the patreon and youtube buttons on the left sidebar for lower resolutions. In the config menu you can change fontsize and the size of the main box too, maybe that helps.

regarding the stat increases, with increasing soul corruptions you'll see bigger increases later on. Though it's a good point, I should round up some values to make it look cleaner.

So, after a fast playthough, my opinions:

-The game is very barebones (obviously, for a first release) but those bones are very interesting.

-I'll join the combat complains. I understand it is a placeholder, but until you have a combat system it holds the player prisoner watching the screen too long. The bugfix makes things much better, but it is something to watch.

-I think the romance with Liora is a bad idea. Not because there is anything wrong with her per se, but your character is forced to declare his love suddenly, without any warning, and without any choice. No, worse, you still have to declare your love even though you may have picked one of the other two women to visit, which you presumably did because you wanted to romance them and not the healer. This is going to make quite a few players (who prefer the MILF, the muscle girl, the elf girl or the guys) resent her character from the start.

The Liara thing is the very reason for the muscle girl's corruption. Jealousy. Just like the MILF has her regrets and MC his failures. You are practically asking him to change one of the core aspects of the story for no reason other than personal waifu preference.

Just feels like I prompted chatgpt to make corruption adventure.
But I'll put up with anything for a cute and good-hearted virgin love interest that cheats on me.

What is the dev favorite character and best girl?
And will it be possible for the mc to actually be the dominant one with the Tomboy girl?

1. Favorite character / best girl?
Honestly, I’ve spent a good hour trying to pick a favorite, but I genuinely like all the characters in their own way. From a player’s perspective, especially with the current early content, most people would probably say Serin or Mariel, since they’ve had the most screen time so far. But in the upcoming update, the spotlight will shift, and other characters will get their moments too.
If I had to choose right now… probably Nimera or Serin. Though I could also see Liora or even Seryk becoming my favorites down the line.


2. Will the MC be dominant with the tomboy girl?
Yes, that will be possible. Her initial role is to try and seduce the protagonist away from Liora, often through teasing or "punishment." But there will be scenes (some coming soon) where the protagonist gives in to his lust and these scenes will shift from a submissive dynamic to a more dominant one, going beyond what Serin had planned.
though — I don’t want to spoil too much!

This one has a really promising start. There is a lot going on, and with so many variables and what looks like a lot of different path options, it does seem like the branching in this one will get pretty insane.

Mostly just commenting here so I can give a rating, because the single one star rating is not at all fair for how good this one starts off.

I hope this is not going to be one of those games where the "submissive" MC always ends up just topping from the bottom or turning the tables to be dominant. With a game that seems to be setting up a lot of player choice, it would be a shame if it ended up being one of those "men are never actually submissive" types of games that crop up pretty often.

I also think it has an interesting start and look forward to how it will develop. I'm glad for the decision to separate feminisation from other content since I'm really not a fan of it. I'm also curious about the soul system, is a balanced approach worthwhile? Do the characters gain both kinds of benefits/drawbacks?

I didn't mind the love confession but am also not the biggest fan of Liora, she is a bit to doe-eyed for me. Serin is more interesting to me, but Rylan comes of as ignorant to not notice her hints that she likes him.
Mariel is probably my favourite character but she seems to play a secondary role to the younger characters in the overall story. Seryk is my second favourite, not just because he has the most explicit content so far. Compared to Nimeria there is more ambiguity about how he acts and what he does on purpose and what unintentionally. Nimeria is interesting a corruptive influence but she had too easy a time getting everyone to trust her, which I understand is due to needing to get the corruption system going.
Lastly I hope to see more of Thalor but at this point he would probably disrupt the story too much.

True, this mid-ass review is trash - if you want to rate a game you shall lean to the objective takes, rather than judging devs interests and fetish choices. Adding up, stating that "many valuables" system is trash from the start is absolutely narrow-minded, when Degrees of Lewdity and other good complex games exist. Although I can agree on formatting complain - on PC it might look good, but on other systems... Well, there is a reason why all apps and sites have at least two-format versions.

Also saying "promising" and rating game with 1*, when (from experience) it literally ruins games image for majority of people is just cruel.

Props to you for fixing that.

Nice start.
I like the idea of "futarinastion", hope there will be a lot of sub/dom scene.
one thing : I like when a system is somehow complexe to play with it, but we have so few choice so far that the system as no real meaning (specially the combat one). It could be a lot more discreet for now at least, and there is no real need to give the numbered fetish (if you say it lowers or ups the fetish it's enough, if you write it without the system reminder it's even better) unless at one point there is threshold to attain to get that scene or that kind of relationship...

It depends. If you go full corruption later on, resisting temptation might become nearly impossible, most dialogue checks will favor seduction, turning you into a kind of "lust tank." On the other hand, going full blessing would swing things in the opposite direction, making you much more resistant. To balance this out, I plan to implement a system that allows you to remove debuffs or blessings later in the game, before it becomes a problem.

Good to know, a lot of these types of games punish you if you don't go all the way in one direction, so I'm happy that I can go with the decisions that make sense to me.

You should give Serin some pubes. It doesnt have to be a full bush, but at least something!

This sounds deliciously twisted in the best way possible. I’m always a sucker for corruption arcs done well, so the Soul System bit got my attention.
Quick question though - how far does the “resistance” thing actually go? Like, are characters genuinely hard to break if you play nice, or does everyone eventually fold if you push enough?
Thanks for dropping this here, by the way.

There's usually a base 20% chance for resistance to fail during most interactions, so even if a character keeps saying no, there's always a chance they'll eventually give in over time. For same-sex stuff, it starts at 0%, since sexual orientation matters a lot in the beginning.

That said, things like a character’s lust level, fetishes, corruption, addictions, and even certain choices you make can all lower their resistance. So yeah, even if you play nice and don’t force anything, they can still give in eventually, it just takes longer than if you’re more aggressive about it.
