Nice to see the Dev revisit the game early to reflect feedback rather than leave it till well into the game so it needs a massive rework.

And here I though its only the 'incel snowflakes' that want to make devs change their games to fit their likes. Now its 'feedback'

Im not hating but if the sex scene from v1 turned into a dream sequence in v2 then might as well remove that vaginal sex tag.

This is just my opinion but there was no reason for rework, if people felt it fast paced then slow it down on the next chapter not rework the 1st chapter. So what if they had sex in the 1st version, then make her realize what she did was wrong and let her guilt stop her from cheating in the 2nd chapter and slowly but surely corrupt her into cheating again. Making the sex scene a dream sequence kinda ruined it (imo). Some devs did this kind of thing, "put a sex scene then remove it on the next update."

Disagree. Sex in a cheating scenario is the proverbial point of no return for a reason - subsequent opportunities to cheat become easier and easier to justify after the fact, which is why in these stories the cheating sex is hotly anticipated.

Better to rip the bandaid now (as big of a whiplash effect as it may create), than try and build the story off of such shaky foundation.

Just from the screenies, it looks like the wife who decides to cheat and end things.. Why is that not surprising in this genre? lol..

Considering the devs decided to give MC a skinny, frail-looking model despite working in one of the most physically demanding jobs out there, that should tip you off about what kind of game this is.

My previous comment becomes dumb now in hindsight. The only choices you can make are most likely NTS and NTR.

Finished the first Chapter, I read some find it rushed...

It's only rushed in the first version. They've reworked the story to be more slow-burn which is for the better.

Thanks! I'm glad you like the models I'm creating. Jack is going to be the primary LI for Layla, at least for the first three releases.

just wanted to say thanks for the reply. really like the fmc and will follow your game for sure. but now i am especially interested about the updates after the third release. (hopefully we get some other cheating/ntr males, hopefully some much older guy, maybe their new old neighbour or something) otherwise solid update. please more but please let as reject buff jack later on if we want to.

Ey! Just wanted to let you know that the new LIs (aside from Jack) are already planned out in the outline. One of them is actually an ugly old man, but that kind of content is something I’m saving for much later in the game. So it’ll take some time to get there!
Here's an actual prototype of him:

Does the game feature a NTS path now? Or the rework was only about making it slowburn?

Hey! I can’t say for sure when the next update will be out, but if everything goes smoothly, I’m hoping for a release in May. The outline is already done, and some of the renders are finished—right now I’m focused on the writing and putting everything together. Just working hard to make it all come together by then!

I have to ask, why did you not continue A Heartfelt Visit????? It seems to have a lot of potential and the ladies are so sexy and beautiful. Please pick up that story again!

Looking forward for this thread
Love this game man

Not gonna lie, the bad reviews were pretty discouraging. Kinda took the wind out of my sails for a bit.

I have now played through this "game" it is version 0,2 so it is early on in the process and I understand there's a learning curve.

The pros:
The graphics are good, the characters seem mostly genuine, Layla is a gorgeous sexy woman (and I love the hairy bush).

The cons:
Only one choice so far, Up untill

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

there were no choices. Made me think it was a Kinnetic Novel and not a game. Unable to rename male MC, male MC totally uninterested in sexy wife but still wants her (questionable decisions even if he is hard working).

I will check on this project in a couple of versions. For now it is too much of a Kinnetic Novel for me

Here we go with the dreaming....

Sala bc whats this new trend of any female protagonist game in dreaming mode

oajidisbvdkbd · Apr 8, 2025

How is it possible that 0.2(remake) update is lame compared to 0.1?
Howww?????

Freedom9555 · Apr 8, 2025

So 0.2 is a remake now, so you should start it from the beginning again?

Then, please work on making it better as you also realizes that game is lacking some elements. If you try, it's gonna be next "Away from Home". Please try that game. It have so much of stuff with fucking Li's infront of husbands or sons but with also a mystery story running behind. You may get some ideas or inspiration.
