So the uploaded game version is missing some parts of content.
Full version, anyone?

So here we are with the latest content update, with Chapter 2... The repeating grind part of the game play becomes a lot more prevalent in this chapter, mostly because of the in-game money required to purchase certain items needed for specific characters, as well as the huge amounts of money needed to stat grind the boss's daughter... There are some new characters introduced, as well as tiny amounts of new content as you grind out those relationship stats... They are a bit spread out though, so expect a lot of repeating content as you grind away...

There is also the introduction of a new alien story line, that really feels more like a cop out for the developers to throw in a new content pay wall system... Gating dream sequence content and X-Ray vision content (seeing characters naked) behind very specific Patreon monthly donation amounts... Typically you see this kind of stuff offered up on the developers Patreon sites as a reward system, where patrons of specific levels can gain access to different versions of the game with some bonus content unique to that donation level... But this isn't being handled like that... It feels more like content walls being thrown at the players/readers on a semi-regular basis (every time a dream sequence happens) trying to constantly incentivize them into paying a bunch of money to see the hidden content... The alien story non-sense itself feels very out of place with the rest of the VN/Game's story, and as I said, it feels more like a quickly thrown together, story based excuse, to push for more money... I went ahead and updated my review...
Hi Zippity,
I have read your review, it's very detailed. Two things I want to point out though: - 1. the dream scenes that are behind paywall are "extra" scenes, they don't affect the plot progression. Critical scenes that are essential to the storyline will not be put behind a paywall. - 2. The $30 in the cams screen is the revenue generated, not the cost of viewing the cam. I will add a proper screen title next time.

I totally understand their purpose... The one thing that may become annoying though, is that every time a dream sequence pops up, for folks who don't fit the requirement for those scenes, we still get interrupted by them along with notices on how to open them up, each and every time they pop up... You're basically throwing it in peoples faces each time they trigger... That could get annoying for some folks, especially if it's happening a lot... It happened at least 2 times when I played it... The X-Ray stuff doesn't get thrown in your face in the same way... And don't mind me, do it how you want to do it... I was more of less ensuring folks understood what would be happening, because some folks may find it very annoying...

As to the camera stuff, if that is what the protagonist is getting paid, then it needs to be made more clear, because the way it presents itself, if feels like it's a cost...

The reason the dream preview is shown is because the player will get Lust points after clicking the button - increasing Lust points is the effect of the dream. Just like if player clicks on "Shoulder Massage" button at Cathy's cubicle they get Lust points. But they don't necessarily have to view the full dream sequence.

Versioning has changed, too. To avoid further confusion.

paywall is paywall and there it does not matter if it is relevant games or not fackt nuneinmal one always has the feeling one is u4 d4en all the fun cheated we have endless grinden any fucking sweettalk make and otherwise for a shit and then not to see the dream sequence or allowed to use the x-ray is like a porno

Just gave this a shot.
Bits of feedback
It's an interesting concept, but right now it feels like grinding for no reason. Perhaps some benchmarks to give an idea of how much people can go to?
Also with the daughter, once she 'rewards' you is there a reason that isn't an option following it?
Dreams need to happen every night opposed to once every few nights.
There needs to be an option to talk to Petra during the week other than jogging.

Still not so much content, the game is in a very early stage but there is a huge potential. Petra really looks amazing. I hope the next updates will be focused more on her.

Looks interesting but am a bit cautious at the NTR tag. I've noticed people in the thread are debating on what is actually in the game. What exactly happens? Are the MC's girls taken or does the MC steal other people's girls? Not looking to spark another argument, just want to know whats in the game.
