To those who think people are just "whining..." I personally feel that their complaints are entirely justified. As a developer, I would *never* include a girl in a game as a potential romantic partner, only to do a 180 and say nevermind, y'all didn't pay me enough so I'm ending the relationship with her. If that was a planned/integral part of the games' story? That's one thing. It's canon. If the guy truly didn't have the time/the ability to include her as a romantic partner in the game, why give players the option in the first fucking place?

But that's just it -- this isn't about him not having the time or the ability, this is about him trying to blackmail his players into upping their donations because he feels entitled to more money/what players are already giving isn't good enough. And way to make sure that the choices in your game don't actually matter -- if your choices don't also come with more donations, I'm just going to make them irrelevant 3/4 the way through the story. That's dedication to your craft right there!

To me, it sounds like the dev just decided he wanted to guilt/manipulate his players into throwing more money at him. People aren't mad because he's asking for, or wants more money... people are mad because he's throwing a temper tantrum because he didn't make enough. Good luck with that, you've broken the trust of many of the games' fans, and rightfully so. I'm just glad I got bored and stopped playing this before the last update because frankly, she was the best girl.

Amazing how much energy a lot of people here are spending on whining over how bad they think the game is...
Seriously, if I start playing a game and find it half as bad as some of you, I would just delete it and move on.
And it's getting really tired with the "dev asks for money, I am outraged" bullshit. Most of the users on this site isn't paying anything anyway.

I find this game great. The story is interesting, and is not full of clichés as many other. There are some plot twists, and as a huge Acting Lessons fan, I get a bit nostalgic every time the dev turns the table on me.
And I like the girls.
They are both good looking and have some interesting back stories. There is something in each of them that really makes me want them.

If there is one criticism I have, it is that chapter 11 and 12 didn't let me choose in some situations where it felt really out of character. Ape is one horny dude, but he's not completely run by his dick, and he _should_ be able to resist some of the temptations he encounters.

Now I'm heading over to to throw even more money on this dev!
See man, what people like and what they dont is subjective. Everyone has a different taste, and for the majority here, this game just doesnt hit it. That you like the game is perfectly fine, i mean why wouldnt it be fine to like something? But its also perfectly fine to dislike something, even if it is something you like. That people on the Internet often tend to exaggerate things, is hoppefuly nothing that surprises you still.

I find this game below average. The Story is just not mine, but that is true for me for the majority of all the adult games. I am a logic person, and the more logic "fails" i see the more it throws me off, and this Story got plenty of those. Sure its not full of clichés like you mentioned, and there are some Plot twists, but for me personaly doesnt make up for the rest.

I do in fact like the Girls too, and if you would make a poll, im sure the majority of people who played this game would agree.

Oh and please spare us with your provocations, if you want to go to Patreon and pay someone Money there, be my guest.
But dont throw it out like a punchline in a cheap joke, because i checked it, and i just couldnt find any fucks to give, on what you do with your money ;)

I've already played a few episodes, and I think the game isn't well done. I mean it doesn't matter the option I choose; for example: I didn't do anything with Hildy, but when I check the sauna and she's talking with another girl, she says she sucked the MC.
I don't quite understand if we can only choose a few options and the rest are skipped without us knowing or what.

Not just that -- but if you don't make it rain on the dev to the extent he finds sufficient, he'll cancel your relationship paths a few episodes before the games over.

Because Mr. Rigg started out with 2 ideas:
1) Make an adult/pornographic multipath VN game.
2) ???

Then around ch 6 he informed everyone about idea #2: Getting lots of money.
Since he by that time didn't get as much money as he wanted, he said that the (then) next chapter would be the last he'd release unless he got more money.
Because people either whined, or told Mr. Rigg that unless he made a game they wouldn't even pay him what he did get, he changed his heart and decided to continue with the game... 1 path, if anybody wanted the full game with all paths they would have to pay him more.
That's why the game contains "Xxxxx will remember that" lines, and lots of game overs if you don't go the only path he will finish (unless he getz teh moniez).
which is bs for people who didn't even play a particular path and then, within the last 3 chapters, all of a sudden when the game continues, you are on a path you didn't choose, and suddenly, choices you didn't make are the things that happened (for me, the thing that made me quit playing was when I suddenly fucked the blue haired chick, even though I didn't in my play through, and in turn, it hurt the path I was trying to follow).

It gets far worse, the previous update forced us all to fuck a character, even if we were trying to be loyal to a specific girl, and it forced us down the path to where all of a sudden, the mc is this womanizer that's pissed off almost every girl in the game, to where most girls don't even trust the mc anymore.

So, I've been playing the "good" guy for nothing?
Oh god... I hate this kind of devs...

Yep, I was on the path to where I hooked up with Lena, but was more interested in Haley, so I was focusing on her path. I didn't hook up with the other girls, including Zenny, but in the last chapter, I had apparently fucked Zenny anyway, which leads to a bunch of crap.

I don't know what this guy understands for "tricky code" xD
I'm a programmer and game developer and I have to say, this game is a complete mess... It's sad, because the story was quite good.

Last time I checked we were allowed to express opinion on shitty games or shitty practices on here. And your comment about "users who don't pay" is irrelevant. You may have missed the memo but this is a pirate site. As in a site where people are sharing stuff for free. If only people who paid commented on things, these forums would be dead.

Ok, now I can understand why people are so angry about this. It seems like I grabbed Delia's tit in the cave when I didn'.
It's sad, I was really enjoying the story and the girls.

yep, and it only just started happening within the last 2-3 updates where shit like this happens, even when we actually didn't do it.

yep, and even though this is a free site, and we have no right to complain about some aspects like how long it takes for a release, or how a creator like Palmer makes putting the game on this site impossible (with how he made cracking the game impossible for people so that we on this site have to wait) is fair, we do have the right to at least point out problems with the game itself since that goes well beyond just us. Seriously, if a game is pulling shit like Eye of the Storm, it's not just bad coding or having us wait for a release, that's not affecting the story, and in doing so is hurting the people who actually pay for the game, which isn't cool to them.

Just finished the latest episode and despite "surviving day 12"... I was seriously pissed off by this chapter... came to see if people were also mad... lol and am pretty happy I am not alone... though for very different reasons... Yes Lena is my favorite, but in any game if I can fuck all the girls I WILL... fuck loyalty !! Sample the playing field than make your choice...

That said I was super pissed by the twist concerning Buck and Deliah... what the fuck was the point in being friendly with them just to toss this swerve at the player ?

What was the point of saving poor Katrina from her rapist asshole husband if it only served to get her murdered by the garbage asshole badguys ?

Why the fuck make the villains Mary Sues ? Anton shot and killed Niceguy, but oh no... he is back and at full health, same with G... I guess being nursed by a fatgirl closes bullet wounds for some odd reason... Lucy also is fully healed from her fucking injury... and Dark Man is at 100% despite the fuckboy having had his ass kicked by Leopold and having a broken arm and leg...

After Lena... Deliah was my favorite girl in looks, making her a badguy just made me loose interest in the story... that ending of day 12 with Ape vs 3 males and 2 females... not even interested in seeing the last chapter... it seems like its going to end like the original draft for Attack on Titan, where by episode 20 the Titans win, and all the humans get killed... here it seems all the girls are going to die alongside Ape... or most of them will, and you only get to save one...

I suppose there could be a swerve again... but it would be stupid beyond belief... Clara, her Mom, and Logan show up with machine guns and mow down these mountain fuckwads in seconds... but "booo" to that !!!

Oh so it wasn't a bug? I was wondering why some of the girls was acting out of character. I don't even remember doing anything sexual with some of them. Hell if anything i felt cheated for apparently missing these scenes that supposedly happened(i didn't use the walkthrough).

Yeah, it's like with Slonique and how the game starts off really strong, but out of the blue goes down the proverbial rabbit hole into fucking us over.

I wondered when Slonique was gonna be mentioned... King of fuckery. This is quite close tho. My point was not only did he fck over the freeloaders he fkd over his paying patreon's. I'd be PISSED and I feel sorry for the supporters! The story started so good it was on of my favorites. I really thought about supporting. Glad I waited and didn't.
