Pretty sure there's a scene with Skylar, no idea how to get it, I've tried a couple times, but don't have the patience to go through the unskipable minigame over and over.

The game looks really promising, the story hooked me, but there are things the Dev needs to fix, the stat system is rarely a good idea, especially when it locks you out of scenes and options without you ever knowing it was a possibility. I only assumed there's a Skylar scene because I saw a screenshot on the main page, otherwise I was never gonna know.

One way to fix this is to add a relationship stat system on top of the character stats, so that we might know which choices benefit us the most with certain LIs. Another option is to add a walkthrough, which this game might need anyway.

Also either get rid of the textbox or make it transparent, and finally, make the minigames optional, or at least easier, I don't want it to be random, the sandbox itself wasn't bad, but the minigames are a chore, especially in a game like this where heavy branching looks like a possibility and players are sure gonna spend time replaying scenes to get their desired outcome.

Best of luck with the game, and if someone knows how to get the Skylar scene do please tell.

I agree with this comments so much we need it immediately Skylar is my girl

we desperately need some kind of relationship system let us know what each girl likes and prefers

without we basically walking around in the dark, having no idea what each girl likes or if we're on their route

I mean, right now I have no idea if I'm on Skyler's route or not




I was thinking maybe every time we make a choice there's a message that pops up that says she like that

or she did not like that

or maybe some kind of heart system or a bio that tells us what kind of traits she likes

Hey everyone.

Thank you all for your feedback. I am currently fixing bugs and making changes to the game.

An update will be released in the next 24 hours, which will include:
- A “Quick Result” button will appear when mixing cocktails. This will allow you to skip the mini-game with random results.
- The text box will be transparent.
- It will be possible to change the font size.
- Fixes for some technical errors and translation errors.

I'm liking the game a lot but i do agree with the criticisms.
Sandbox portions need some persistent highlight or icons so you don't have to search what to click. I know it's nitpicking but it's a huge QoL feature.
Minigame needs a skip option.
And yea, this game needs a walkthrough. There are decision points where each option gives varying levels of affection points and attribute points which affects the narrative and LI path. The attribute points has got an indicator but is still tedious. Perhaps we'll get a 3rd party fan made walkthrough mod, i prefer dev focuses on the game itself.
I'm not that bothered by AI animations but i hope dev throws in static scenes in between the animations to make the sex scenes more organic and have that human touch.

Story is good. But please, not too much slice of life.
LI relationships, still to be seen if they're gonna be good, i hope it will. Disregarding the casual sex, there's potential for good storytelling just by looking at LI backstories. Looking forward to the LI stories.

I'm really not a fan of casual sex

I like it when it happens when it has meaning like you make progress with the girl

and it's romantic

I don't think we need a walkthrough we just need something to tell us what the girls like and if we're on their route

I think the game needs that as soon as possible because we're basically in the dark

Dang, I commented a few months back on this thread, but was waiting to play for next update(this one) but after reading there is no name change and it isn't coming. That sucks, its like one of the most crucial aspects of any visual novel for me.

A bit sadge, cause it looked really good and I was excited about the preview pics, and the throuple relationship, but guess not now with no name change.
Either way good luck dev.

I don't really like casual sex in narrative focused VNs too but it's because they usually have no real purpose except to have a sex scene to appease the porn gamer crowd. If devs put in casual sex that is tied to the main plot or a character story, then by all means.

And yea, indicators if you're on LI routes would work fine too. We can just use URM to game the LI points and stats. I went with Kristen instead of Skylar but kinda worried i might have locked out Skylar's story.

I love badass and tough women nice girls

are boring but I still want a romantic love story with Skylar once I earned her affection

I hope once we get deeper in the relationship that there will actually be love involved

No AI animations please, I do mind them, animations are generally the most overrated part of AVNs, but AI animations usually drop the quality of the scene on top of being unnecessary. It's better to have no animations than AI animations.

I agree for me and this probably only applies for me but I don't really need the animations

for me a couple of still images with passionate romantic dialogue

can even be better than animations with no romantic dialogue
