A good translation is as much a part of a game as a good UI, a good port, good game mechanics etc..
It always grinds my gears when I see developers blame Engrish on the fact it's not their first language, yet they don't reach out for someone to help them. Even worse are the ones who you can see people offering assistance and the dev just ignores it and continues publishing Engrish.

Will Nicole be blueballing the MC again in this episode? I get the feeling she'll be a tease and holdout until the end.

Good renders, ok story, but too cheesy. After the "date" with Mrs Skye I had to stop playing as I couldn't stand reading their highschool horny teenager thoughts. That's my opinion, I'm sure many don't mind and even like it. I'll leave it for latter.
Thank You.

Looks like this game went to shit since I last played. All choices have been removed. So, yeah. Now it's just a KN and def not for me. I wish the dev well.

This is a kinetic novel and that tag is here to stay. Deal with it. Can't? there are plenty of other games available you can try.

I don't usually behave this way but developer worked so hard in this game and it's so rude to appear randomly and use words like shit. Constructive criticism is one thing but calling this game shit isn't fair.

I normally prefer my games a bit more "interactive", so this is my first full on VN. Apart from a couple of dodgy translations I thought it was an excellent read. Did get a bit confused for a minute when it jumped from the cabin back to his bedroom, but other than that, good visuals - Nicole & Bella are looking fine and I like the fact the MC doesnt look some dorky 12 year old pre-pubescent - his look fits the character, good story, the relationships are growing nicely, and when I finished chapter 4 I felt disappointed it had come to an end. Looking forward to where this goes next, keep up the good work NaughtyCatEnt. .

I'll agree with the transition from cabin to home especially since there was a murder and sheriff said to stay put. More information for that would have helped but otherwise its going great, love it

Oh, poor baby. Did I hurt your widdle feelings? Tough shit. Boo hoo. Get over it. I even said I wish him luck. I never once said he needed to change anything. But, getting your panties in a twist over it is stupid. But, go on. Let's see you get offended more over what I just said.

Instead of going into the gas station and calling a locksmith to come to open up your car, let's just leave our car there (with our money, credit cards, phone, and keys inside the car) and get into a car with some random stranger. Yikes... Maybe it's just me but I can't stand stupid scenarios like that in games, even porn games. I think it shows that the dev doesn't really put much effort into the plot.

Really like the game 10/10. Everything looks good. The balance is great , taking time with Nicole was a great choice, although its a slow burn, its more rewarding that way. On the other hand Kate is very rushed, not many will like her, considering her actions till now have been similar to gold digger.
Though a few suggestions.
1. The part were it says end of episode 3 is weird (no end for 1 & 2?), one moment mc is in the cabin, next moment he wakes up from his bed, no mention of what happened afterwards nor how they got back etc., I even thought maybe all of this for a dream, you need to mention that they came back.
2. They were going to his cabin for holiday was never discussed, I found that a little weird, Nicole really likes to know what is the surprise, but strangely never asked where they were going, a simple monologue from MC would also be a improvement

NaughtyCatEnt. I think it's worth changing the image format to WEBP this will significantly reduce the size of the game
and to do something with animation, they weigh 60-70 mb each and at the same time (hang) slow down in the game
