James must die.
Coundn't agree more. The dude was a fucking psychopath... he was going to shoot his own mother but his dad got the first because he said first.
Then he aimed for MC.

And then HIS dad saved him but it cost his life... for real, the crazyest start of a EROGE ever.

Was a huge fan of the original, hopefully this one will be even better. Still, I'm gonna wait until more episodes come out before I play this one. My hands are already pretty full with other games I'm playing. But, I have this one on watch for now.

I enjoyed the first game greatly, and when I saw the name of this game, I was quite excited but... those images are freaking me out man. I don't usually play first releases anymore, and this game won't be an exception, so I'm not going to post this as a review, though in case you (The dev) would like the perspective of someone just passing over, I will post a comment.

First off, the MC looks pretty bad, quite a downgrade. I understand that this is meant to be a different person, not a rewrite of the first game, but man this dude looks totally emaciated and even a bit feminine, especially in the third image (as of writing this post, august 7th 2025) he looks thin, gaunt, weak and just totally unappealing. I understand that it is a bit difficult to make an appealing male character in the HS style of illusion games, but quite honestly the protagonist of the first game looked fine, you could have taken him and edited him a bit to make him look different enough (If this is from the same illusion game) to be seen as a new person.

Second, the women. Like the first point, most of them look wholly unappealing to me, milfs are fine, facial aging is fine, but a lot of the girls in the images look too old, at least 3 of them look like grannies in the face, it just doesn't appeal to me in a porn game. In addition, one of the girls seems to be pregnant already, I'll go out on a limb and say that the MC caused that for the sake of the discussion. Its too far along for us to have gotten a good chunk of time with her to have seen her relationship with the MC develop, just from the images, unless this first episode is like an hour long, it feels like it might be moving too fast with the players just not having enough skin in the game to truly care for the characters like the first game (which went quick, don't get me wrong, but we did get enough time with each girl (mostly) before impregnation for the player to know them enough to feel good about it.

Third, the MC seems to be a lot more submissive from the images shown. Now, yes, there was femdom in the first game, IF you went down that route with one of the girls, but at the same time, the MC also kicked the ass of multiple gang members and blackmailed said girl for sex if you did not go down the femdom route. The images shown of the game are mostly (sex scenes) femdom looking, with the MC in submissive positions or looking like he just isn't in control. He looks miserable and flustered, and I wonder if this game has a non femdom path, because from the images (of sex) shown, it seems like the MC being submissive is the main focus which I fear might isolate half of the existing audience from the first game.

In all, If I had no prior knowledge of the first game in this series, and what an absolute masterpiece it was, I would have easily passed over this game without even clicking on it to read the thread from looking at the previews. Ignoring personal opinions such as my stance on femdom, the character designs are a great disappointment, and are a massive downside, but worst of all the description (Remember, I am talking as if I had never known the first game) is so vague and targeted towards an existing audience that there is no way I would have been hooked and downloaded the game from that alone.

Knowing what I know about the first game, however, I will put the thread on watch and check back every few updates because I see a good chance it turns around for the better, this is the perfect time to do so, as not much has been created for the game yet. I wish you luck, dev, you've done it before, which is the hardest part, so I know you are capable of doing it again.

Developer Notes:
Isn't this a sequel to Depth's Revival 1?

Yes and no.
This game takes place in the same universe as DR1, but it has a whole new cast and a new main character who shares the same fate our first MC had.

But having a new cast also doesn't mean we're never going to see the cast of the first game. The first episode has some small nods, and in the future episodes we'll get to see our old cast in a new light. I already made a devlog spoiling the fate of DR1's cast, if you want, you can check it out .
New characters are cool and all, but dragging the old cast back in? :unsure:

Are they just here for plot reasons, or is the new MC gonna get “friendly” with them too?

And if that’s the case… what happens to our old MC? Is he just sitting in the corner watching? :ROFLMAO:

As a gameplay mechanic? No. As a fetish, yes.
Dude, I really love your work, but I have a couple of questions and requests. I think our companion's influence and participation should be stronger. In the first game, I kept forgetting that there was a mystical element, and I was sometimes frustrated by how easily MC was able to do things. Similarly, MC hasn't done anything yet, but everyone is ready to undress. Please either make it more gradual or let it be our companion's influence, so that we can see the growth of her power and influence. In my opinion, the corruption element fits perfectly into the game.

That link to his subscribestar explains the connection (its a free post)
Its not bad at all for puritan vanilla harem enjoyers imo, though incest harem fans might be mad cuz of the connection :KEK:

Man, went from rock bottom to arguing with a horny life coach in my own head. Honestly, sounds like a fair trade. :sneaky:

My only real criticism is that I get you're going for the sunken eyes and gaunt cheek thing to visualize the main character's depression/emotional state but a consequence of that is in some shots he looks a bit older compared to the intentionally older looking male characters so it kinda throws me off.

I really liked your first game, I'm excited to see where this one goes!
I'll take another look at his model, this early in the development I can make some changes.
Really enjoyed first game, but what happened in this one. First game the characters were a normal variety but normal looking...in this one the twin is the only one that doesn't look like a football player with breasts bigger than their head?
I'm still gonna give it a try, was just curious as to why the major change in female appearance.
The girls in MC's family has that amazon gene mate. The other girls in the story will have normal body sizes, this is only EP.1 we'll meet more girls.

This is a romance focused game, man I don't think I will add corruption to the mix, but we'll see. And things will progress more slowly in the sequel, you seeing them naked doesn't mean you can fuck 'em yet.
