[NurnH]

Hello, the game works only on android on the web itchio version, tried on pc on web browsers but fail to go past gray screen. Anybody have solution?

 

[Foreal]

Downloaded for PC & it has just a black screen. Tried Chrome, Edge, & Opera all black screen trying to run the online game.

I have both the online version and the downloaded version, the game just gives out a black screen. I tried running as an administrator on Firefox and Chrome, but nothing helped.

Thanks for the share

Seems like it could be interesting, but from the comments I think I will come back in 6 months or so and see if it's still around and bugfixed.

Well, I will wait for a workable version

Can't install on Android or even play it online.

The online version works for me, I use the Brave browser

Online version didn't wok on chrome, edge and samsung internet browser for me.

Great bones for a future game, but as it it is now, at least for me, it's not really worth the time. Will be watching it develop.
Keep on keeping on dev, this really has potential.

The itchio pc download worked, so now that i played it i say is pretty good

looks lit and would be right up my alley going by description - from technical side gray screen though, windows exe version, w11, no matter what i do and i'm 3rd line software support tech.

P.S. the itch version works (ostensibly)- quest triggers, completions etc are screwed (ex groceries you can complete without going to market, fixing mill is a one-time quest which cannot be completed with starting skill as it expires before you finish repairs, etc)

Is there really pregnancy?

Nope, that's planned for 1.4. And seeing how 1.2 is planned for February, I have a feeling it will be at least a year until its ready, and that's if the developer sticks to a 3 month release schedule with no delays or interruptions, something you can't always count on for Indie devs. As is it feels like the game needs a bit longer to cook. There's definitely the bones of something interesting here, but it needs to get fleshed out a bit more.

The download version on itch.io was updated an hour ago or so. It's now 130 mb large, and it looks like it is now working, no longer the blank screen on launch.

That's good to hear. Hopefully the dev is taking our input to heart and addressing the biggest issues. Perhaps this will be in a more or less playable state in a week or two.

You actually got seduction to WORK!?

I've been spamming 'Make a suggestive comment' all the way to Seduction 10, and haven't gotten anything to work.

Evidently skill issue:



(little more seriously, my MC only had seduction/persuasion at 2. Approached a shopper at the market, suggested some activities together to increase familiarity, hit a few more subtle interactions first (compliment, make suggestive comment, etc) then moved closer and next thing i knew could make out right out there in public, with option to move things somewhere more private)

I fixed a few bugs and the windows executable issue that was leading a black screen.
On itch my game is quarantined because it hasn't been reviewed yet, but I contacted their support team.

I apologize for the concerns about those, other than that the game is very large and still requires intensive testing and bug fixes which I will be working on plenty of patches and content updates in the coming weeks. All of the tags are in the game, even if not fully polished yet.

I'd like everyone to keep in mind this is the first version of the game, I have not done any public testing or previous builds so I would appreciate some patience and support during this time. I don't want the '1.0.0' to be misleading - as stated in the disclaimer this is a experimental early access, it just means first public version.

Thank you for playing!

A year? Haha, not at all. Each major update listed should only take a month from start to finish - and some of them have been developed heavily already, like 1.4. My main focus with 1.0 was to setup a good foundation for the future and to see if people liked this type of game, the large gap between 1.0 and 1.1 was to allow me to have enough time to fix / polish the game and it doesn't reflect on actual development time of 1.1.

Speaking of bugs, game seems to quite literally cockblock you, with no explanation why...?



Also, the whole sex module seems to be really glitchy in general, and has some nasty side-effects like damaging MC's data. Note broken skill xp levels and the money/weight data turned into NaNs:



edit: the narration in the sex scenes also seems all sorts of broken, with the script getting confused about character's gender, names and features:



The MC is a guy here, he doesn't have any slit as far as i've been told. And according to the game's control panel he is the one who is going down on his partner (who is indeed a virgin, supposedly)

The shopper is supposedly a woman, but the game sometimes refers to her as "she", sometimes as "they" and sometimes as "the" which i'm guessing is failure to handle her "name" being "the shopper" i.e. two words instead of one.

What type of "Gay" contents this game offers?
Trap? Sissification? Femboy? Random Blowjobs?
Or Full on Sweaty Hunky Manly Male X Male sex?
Is there hand-written gay interaction between non-feminized Male NPCs and non-feminized Male MC?

Is your game made mainly for people who's into Male X Female /or Feminised Male sex? Or for Bi people who enjoy both sides?
what's the weight of gay contents compare to other sexuality?

Also, what do you mean by "dynamic storytelling"?

At any rate, good luck on the development.

You can choose the genders, sexualities, and sexual content that appears in the game - making it 'dynamic', so players of any presentation or preference should be able to customize the game to enjoy fully. Specific content like trap or sissification may occur during special NPC content when that gets added.

Thank you!
