Hey guys, I have a question for those who played it. Is the NTR avoidable? I can't deal with imposed NTR that you can't get out off, it really annoyes me. Please let me know.

Each update is getting smaller and smaller and still no real action with Ein or Shani. Disappointing and thinking of canceling my pledge. This is not a slow burn game.
game play time is long u just need repeate scenes what was released before :)

for me is more disturbing fact that there is practicaly no story....

Its only the 4th or 5th update if you count the rework after the 1st and unlike alot of devs (most in fact) this is on a 1 month dev cycle:cool: give it a few update before you jump ship...your money, your call ofcourse.

there are a couple of minor things we were supposed to work out before the public release (which was meant for tomorrow evening). your best solution, for now, is to start a new play. if you skip through dialogues it should take you a couple of minutes at most.

not sure what you mean by slow burn game.
day 1 and 2 have around 200 panels each, day 3 has 175, day 4 has 200 panels again...this time around we've been able to do a lot of behind the scenes work as well, and Zetan is learning new tricks every day.

As has been said, new releases come out roughly every 6 weeks, give or take a week. We could wait with that, release every 3-5 months and double the size of the game with the next release. Zetan has chosen differently.
