Others Abandoned Fantasies Of Veronica K. [v1.2] [Janus Paradox]

[JanusParadox]

Not really think 1 or 2 new locations, but so far they are just here to provide clues for the riddles.

But old saves are incompatible, game starts to act weird after some time when loading a save from the last version.

I agree with the poster before it needs more saving options, especially as the game has a branching story line.
I like to try different options, to see how it works out. With only 3 slots and often long parts where you are unable to save (during the game for example) this limits severely your options to try different paths.

The map is a good idea, the walk between mansion and subway was a pain in the last version.

Saving option is limited within the program we are creating. We changed certain things, old saved games are not compatible with this version.

In the next update/sequel we will resolve this issues.

There is no need to walk anymore, we changed that. Also we added "Teleport Stone" in the game withing the game, so you can move faster there as well.

Wonderful game
Because of the texts, it quickly goes from difficult to translate
A question where do I find the lens?

In Veronica's house. In the living room in a drawer.

finished..... interesting.... different....

 

[Moz69]

very impressive... thats a really interesting story. I was quite sad when the "intro" ended. Thats something else than those games that are being thrown out by devs that dont make much thoughts... not sure how this will develop though and how deep you can do all those paths since the choices lead in quite many directions. But good work it feels like the one game ive been waiting for forever.

Please enjoy this introductory teaser as it's only a preparation to the real mind-twisting, never-before-seen experience of its era.

"The game's emphasis is on story mixed with puzzles and deep psychological meanings placed in every scene..." "The game explores the multi-dimensionality of women sensuality and expectations. The concept of philosophy, religion, psychology, science and art challenge users, question reality and posit possible human developmental processes/theory..." It sounds pedantic and affected. It doesn´t invite to start playing. I don't know if a lot of people is searching for "deep psychological meanings" in a porn game, or even if it is possible.

In the next Sequel you will have two possible paths: Entertainment and Self Awareness. If you choose Entertainment you will get Entertainment story. Self awareness path will address the other.

I sure tried to be slick. I tried to get her to go out naked. Love that naked animation too much damn her clothes.

 

[sanmal]

Not compatible with old hardware (dx9/dx10).

 

[vimmers]

looks good but totally ruins it for me with those small letters
and why not have a tv at start in the bar
it's normal there are a tv in a bar today
and no options menu at start screen about you will play in fullscreen or windowed mode
so must self manipulate the config.ini

 

[ProofreadingRUS]

I still don't get it. Is it a story of drama or horror?
There's no walkthough so there is no + or - stats to build up, nor path choices or routes.
It's a download if you're curious game cause not even those pics helped...peace.

there are no stats to build up. its pretty much a visual novel game with nicer animations.

 

[watewer]

What configuration do you have? It literally uses lowest amount of resources. I attached screenshot. Check if something else is using you resources.

Intel 770k, GTX 1060, 16gb RAM, Win10 Pro
And yes it uses almost no resources
I don't know why but the first time it loads a cutscene the game crashes. Like it took me 4 tries to get past the first train scene where you have to think of one of the pasangers

 

[terassiel]

What do I do with the women in the red dress from the train?

 

[JanusParadox]

The one who sits in the train? If you are referring to her, she will be available in the next sequel.

 

[terassiel]

I mean the one that walks by and then gices me a task in the fantasie.

 

[JanusParadox]

Yes. congratulation for noticing her, you are the first one. She said you will meet her again in the next sequel of the game. In the sequel, when you meet her, she will give you an assignment, and second time she'll give you reward

 

[terassiel]

First of I think your game is great and very promising! I think you did some awesome artistic choices and your world feels very misterious ... when "Der Leiermann" started to play I got goosebumbs.
But as much as I liked your game from an artistic standpoint so do I think your game has some issues when it comes to gameplay. Quite a few mechanics take to long and makes playing the game feel very disconnected. Here are some examples:
Walking takes to long; Not beeing able to save inside the laptop game is understandable from a lore perspective but feels like poor gameplay; Having to remove and plug in the usb every time just adds time that feels "wasted"; And s mall one is that you cant leave the house with the wrong outfit w/o any notification - took me a couple of minutes figuring out what was wrong.
Also the laptop game seems very disconected from the main game. Its just so different that it doesnt feel "embedded" in the story. Im sure that will change in future updates

I hope you dont feel like I am bashing on your game - Its meant as constructive criticism.

 

[JanusParadox]

Thanks, actually we like and look forward the constructive criticism. All your critiques are in place except one.

Game on the laptop is crucially connected with the story as you will see in the next sequel.

Something to think about:
Veronica has a dream at mafia boss place. In that scenes there two things. The clock with the specific time and transformation of mafia boss into the merchant(for 2 seconds). That is Veronica's dream.

Later both clock and merchant showed up in the cave.
How can she dream something that will happen later...


As for other critiques, yes we agree on all points.


Not being able to get out with certain cloths or naked issue:

The game was not meant to be played without voices. Later after feedback we added that option. With voiced option; Veronica says “that you can't go out without clothes”

But we could no correct that in “without voices” option, because of variables.

We made some crucial mistakes that we could not correct, lot of different variables are involved that would mess up the game if we change certain things. Walking is one of them

We are aware how many imperfections this intro has, they will all corrected in the next sequel. That is why we appreciate this kind of critiques

Thanks again for playing and for your constructive critique
