Quick question devs, are the models used for this game from a public repository or did you make them yourselves. Some of the models in the scenes look similar to publicly available ones so I was just curious. Thanks and keep it up!

The models are custom-made by Rich.

Hey guys, we're running late on this one. There will be a plethora of "action" in Ch5 so stay tuned :D Next week we'll be releasing the first teaser.
Soon soon

OK just tried this for the first time (and read all 24 pages of comments).
Pros: I love the renders and character models. They are excellent, especially the mom. Parts of the story are extremely well-written. The interactions between the MC and the football player seemed very realistic and was a nice counter-balance to the bitchy cheerleader and perpetually horny best friend. The angst of the MC with his female friend is also very well-done.
Cons: I get the police blackmail concept but the implementation is very jarring when contrasted with the other parts of the story. I checked out the source material and it doesn't really ring consistent. In the source material the MC is somewhat of a sociopath who is given a chance to live a fantasy and has zero empathy for his parent. In the VN he seems like a much more together guy who may have some inappropriate thoughts about his mother but still cares for her. If the story evolves in the same direction as the source material it would likely invalidate most of the good character development done for the MC in the early chapters.

Overall I'm stumped by the VN. Like I said, parts of it are excellent. I don't usually have an issue with harder and darker games, but it's almost like the renders are TOO good. If I see someone in a game being coerced into something, I don't want to see their tear-streaked faces and feel that emotional burden. Porn games shouldn't bring up those negative emotions (even games like RAPEPLAY don't linger on the distress). While the MC is being presented as your typical unsure horny teen, I find it hard to believe that he wouldn't feel more empathy to his mother (who doesn't seem like she's a bitch to him), especially after he is clearly shaken up by the way she is being treated. All in all it seemed like it would be a good setup for a revenge-type story with him extracting vengeance from the corrupt cops and maybe getting with the hot mom (or others) through gratitude or some such. The way it stands now, I'm not sure how the MC CAN'T be thinking of making the cops pay (even while he rubs one out over the vision of his naked mom).

On one last note, please add a "rape" tag to the genre listing. While Clinton may have thought a blow-job wasn't "sex" I pretty certain in most countries what is being portrayed is definitely rape.

I'll be interested in seeing how the story develops and I hope that the previous consistent writing will continue.

No teaser yet but what's worse......Patreon, "This page is under review." Puritans are on the march again.
Uh huh. Can a patch be far behind? By an anonymous source, of course. :cool:

Well, that would be better than abandonment. It wouldn't be the first time a developer gave up on a game, rather than cave to the Patreon restrictions.

Yes - we got hit with this yesterday afternoon. Stay tuned while we figure out what's next...
I really hope it was Patreon happening to stumble upon this, instead of some self absorbed malcontent who despises the kinks here-in, and decided to take it upon themselves to go on a righteous campaign to end it. If it be the latter, then someone please introduce us, man to man, face to face.

In our dialog with Patreon, the phrase "it was reported" was explicitly used, so I'm assuming someone peached on us. I very much doubt Patreon people go through and play every game/read every story posted there.
