Very nice :D

But the game is crashing here after I choose 'Alex's Pet'

Way Too dark for me, I don't find violent rape entertaining... I'm out. d-e-l-e-t-e.

Same here. I'm assuming that's intentional. Seems there is no continuous play anymore.
The dev already asked me about this error.

And if you extract the images, you'll see that there is more content.

Yes, the coffee shop path is the start of a pretty dark plot line - but will never cross the line into non-consensual content.

If you want, I'll let you know when the other non-dark paths are in. I'm adding the first as part of 0.0.6. By time chapter one is complete the coffee shop path will be able to be bypassed. There will even be the true purity route in as well.

My recommendation is to do a play through from start and not a save from prior version. There's quite a few variables that changed between updates that might have gotten confused during the save. I'm interested if the error goes away during a clean play through.

Please message me any error messages.

@suo_mynona I'm a little confused. The way I interpret your comments about the game even years down the road after this game is finished the cafe is going to be a rather short, bad-end route. Why is that the first thing you are implementing? Players are getting used to the cafe. If they don't enjoy it they will likely stop following the game. If they do like it, then as soon as you start developing other events the cafe is going to be completely obsolete. The early offering for a game should be what the rest of the game springs from. Basically once the cafe event area is done it will be the same as you are developing a brand new game from scratch, but keeping the old name and using the same main character.

While the overall planned content is my own, the order that content is created is driven through polls on my Patreon page. To date that has been on the coffee shop. Update 0.0.6 continues that plot path to Alex's apartment.

The current poll for 0.0.7 content finally changes that to include Bill's Bar - the good alternative to the coffee shop.

On the comment of the coffee shop being a short bad end route. That was the original plan; however, by update 0.0.2 I had decided that I wouldn't put in any early endings and expanded it to a full branching plot line. For those who choose to follow that route, the coffee shop will be a reoccurring location for quite awhile. This will be a BDSM branch too dark for some, but we can explore what that kind of relationship would look like as it evolves and not just treat it like some shallow exploitation path.

I've really enjoyed playing this game - I like the premise! But I think I will wait a couple of versions before I play it again... maybe even v0.1.0...

Thank you, had fun and really liked the "dark path". Hoping for more of the same ;) Will definitely support you on P.

This game definitely needs more close ups. In my opinion most of the time the camera angle is too far away and you miss the best part. Just like one of those soft pornos... Also the corruption goes way too fast, but thats just my preference

I actually find the dark theme of the game unique and what I like about it. While corruption is fast, I consider it a set-up of the whole game, not the actual goal. E.g. story is about the events of the more or less corrupt heroine, instead of how to corrupt an innocent girl. After all, as somebody pointed out above, little bluntly IMO, one has to be special to head to Hollywood to become an actress instead of going to University.

Now that the game has added a wee bit of content since I last played it, I decided to give it a revisit... Thus far I'm a wee bit disappointed, as the only content really added was hard core BDSM sex scenes in the coffee shop... Nothing else really... The protagonist has some sleep locations added, but no content there... Only choices available are all dark choices, regardless which path you take... I went ahead and updated my review...

have walktrough .... i cant go anyway :(
No walkthrough needed, there is very little content... Just go work for Alex at the coffee shop, and go sleep at Max's house... Once the protagonist becomes Alex's pet, there is nothing else to do...
