Thanks. That worked nicely.
For anyone else trying this, as well as following the instructions at the link I had to add executable permissions (using chmod +x) to
Game.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs
and
Game.app/Contents/Versions/65.0.3325.146/nwjs\ Helper.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs\ Helper
for this to work. (The location will presumably vary depending on the version of RPGM MV you have.)

Okay, had a chance to play this, and was impressed. It seems like another game made unnecessarily in RPGM, but maybe there will be a reason for the extra overhead revealed later on.
The pros:
1. It seemed like a game that was genuinely trying to be about the corruption of an at-least-moderately intelligent female protagonist. About three-quarters of the time, the corruption scenario is a "reasonable under the circumstances" situation in which the corrupt choice isn't foolish, just misguided or uninformed. A few of the exceptions I will address below.
2. The artwork is good. The MC is attractive without having any of the mutant tits and mutant ass syndrome that is comon in games like this. Thus, clothing looks fairly realistic and not painted on. The NPCs do include that lumpy, vaguely human-looking thing that seems to be called "George" in all of these games, and the skinny old bum that is in all of these games, but the rest of the characters seem fairly unique and there's never an issue of who is who.
3. Gameplay is standard RPGM without many of the irritating repetitive tasks (eating, showering, etc) that these games tend to have to drag things out. Maps are small and interesting, and there's a quickmove system that isn't needed yet but which it's nice to know will be included. This is about as good as RPGM gets to Ren'py without being Ren'py. Hopefully, there will be some random encounters or interesting NPCs added to make the RPGM choice worthwhile. Hopefully not combat though; RPGM combat is the worst.
4. Dialogue is generally fluid and natural.
5. There's a fair amount of gameplay here. The quest system is clear and the player never is in doubt of what he/she is supposed to be doing. I hope the devs can provide some non-sex-related filler to keep the player, at the end, from having to nap all the time to get to the right time of day for the next action.
The cons:
1. I didn't get enough!
2. RPGM, if that is even a con
3. A few of the scenarios
So, basically, no cons of consequence.
Now, I really liked the ideas behind most of the corruption scenarios. The neighbors scenario was especially good (but the devs need to change the idea that the MC doesn't know her next-door neighbors until the start of the game; that's not needed and isn't very credible). The warehouse workplace scenario stretched credibility, but not beyond the bounds allowable in a porn game. Same for neighbor kid and aunt and uncle.
The scenarios I found non-credible were the old man scenario (seriously: only a moron would fall for that, plus it's way over-used) and all of the old workplace scenarios. For the old man scenario, it would be more credible if he was the "old man who has a small fortune because he lives so shabbily but wants to spend it on sex for what little time he has left." In other words, he'd bribe the MC because she needs the money and who is an old man going to tell, anyway?
For the old company scenario, I'd change a few things that wouldn't require more than changing some dialogue:
1. The initial scenario should be that the company was testing her loyalty before promoting her; when approached by an undercover corporate security type, she would pass if she investigated before handing over documents (in which case she would find that there was nothing wrong going on) or approach her superior with the claims (in which case she'd be congratulated for following procedures. The problem with the existing scenario is that a whistle-blower like her would both have a police investigation report (even if the investigating officer failed to follow through) to fall back on, and an ability to go to the press. She'd have no incentive at all to just shut up and take it. If you follow my suggestion and make her out to actually have been in the wrong (spying on the company with no evidence of wrong-doing) the emotional impact is greater and her isolation more understandable.
2. Drop the "suing for half-million" scenario. That's not how the law works. The company can't sue a person for making money, they can only sue a person for causing the company demonstrable loss (and they'd have to prove the losses in court, which they couldn't do here). The company can't argue she was engaged in illegal corporate espionage because corporate espionage is not illegal. They can't sue her for theft because they never charged her with theft (theft is a criminal action and they never called the cops). The way to get the PC under the control of the old boss is to have her encounter more problems (like the one at the warehouse job) due to her being blackballed and realize that she needs to convince her old boss to stop blackballing her. She's supposed to be smart. She needs to have a smart person's reason, not a moron's reason.
Anyway, sorry for the wall of text but I think the game is worth a wall of text. I'm not comfortable doing reviews of a game so new, so will just note that I'd rate this 8/10 at the moment, with the potential for going all the way to 10/10 with only a few changes and the continuation of everything else just as it is. Smart female PCs for the win!

Hello everyone. Thank you for playing my game. Although I'm not very active in this forum due to my other responsibility, I do read all of your comments. But unfortunately I can't always replay all of your comments individually. But know this, I always appreciate your feedback.
Many of you also have various idea about how the story should progress. You might find some of those idea in the future updates if like them or successfully able to implement them in the story-line.
My plan is to create a game where MC is not a complete moron and has some commonsense. It is also an adult game. So I also need to add some erotic scenes too. It's a very delicate balance I need to maintain with each updates. Sometimes my limited knowledge about certain things might also prevent me from creating a 100% believable scenario even though it is my intention.
Again, thanks all of you.

Two questions I would have ApertureStudio: will there be animated scenes in the future?
And in the next updates following the dialogs there will be anal scenes ... anal fisting ... spanking ... BDSM from the neighbors exactly?

No animated scenes for now. Because my hardware won't be able to handle it.
For now I can't say what will happened with the neighbors quest, since I haven't write it yet. But it will be a BDSM heavy questline.
Just finished the game !! its really good. One small suggestion tho: I think like on the erotic scenes: before she went fully nude, she should have a transitional period when she wears only underwear? cos on the maid uniform she wears panties while on the other scenes she just went fully nude.

WOW well looking forward to the next installment eagerly and although I want to ask the stupid Question when I wont but I hope she has more humiliation and sex and outfits if possible Cheers and Good Luck
ApertureStudio first of all, as your patreon supporter I have to admit, that this game is one of a few, which is really worth a support. Your renders are great.
I have a little suggestion for the story. What really is funny about most porn games, is that protagonists after few sex acts, suddenly understands that they are nimphomaniacs ready to fuck anything or to work as hooker or porn actresses. I mean like they have already started sexual life, and suddenly fat (or old and fat) joe fucks them so they finally realize their inner libido and life goals). Joe Steel have already offered good ideas regarding old man and old company scenario.
My suggestion is regarding warehouse scenario. In real life it will be difficult to convince to fuck every worker a reasonable person, whose goal is only to earn some money as secretary. But according to scenario she may give head in old bar. And the local pimp will learn about new freelancer in his area. And he (or she) may offer protagonist to pay out fine for unathorised work and work some shifts to pay monthly fee). As a normal person she will try to loan money from anyone including warehouse owner, who knows local pimp for sure. And then she will be indepted to owner and will own favours to him, or she refuse to his terms and try to work out this situation with pimp, or try forget about her debt alltogether, with severe consequence, like a visit by local thugs to her home and explanation of her current situation

I'm stuck: I did, in day time, quests for oldman and secretary, now is evening and i cannot change in warehouse because is closed and i cannot walk in the city with the slutty dress. Do someone has a save where i can restart without restarting from scratch? Thanks

Update Blog
Dear Patrons,
How are you all? I'm sorry for not being able to post a update blog much sooner. Last week I was very busy because my workplace reopened. And due to the sudden lockdown there were a lot's of unfinished work. Which made it impossible for me to work on the game for last 7-8 days.
Thankfully everything is back to normal at my workplace. well, as normal as it can be amid the pandemic. So I started to work on the game again. But next update will be delayed because of all of this.
Some of you might also found last update was a bit short. That's why I decided to take some more time to make sure there are enough contents for you to enjoy. Hopefully in the upcoming weeks I will be able to share more news about the game and some sneak peeks with you guys. Until then stay at home and stay safe.
Thanks.
