Quality was definitely top level for a demo. But I also agree this much divergence is usually too much work and really cripples development. Good luck tho cause there aren't many adult games that can hook you up with its story rather than content.

It looks interesting and like the devs are aiming for a high quality game. However, as far as the demo is concerned I would have appreciated more of a glimpse into the actual story and less philosophy and systems tutorial. Good luck to the devs.

Having the option to choose MC is nice but it can be too much work in the long run.
You will have to make extra renders and dialogues in every scene.
Exactly my thoughts.
Developing a VN as an amateur is hard and time-consuming enough with just 1 main character.
Going for 2 is like buying half the tickets for an "Abandoned game" raffle.

So, when I saw this game had a Built In Walkthrough, figured I would give this a shot, and put it in my Games to Play List. Very interesting start, that's for sure. This Demo has me wondering very much wonder where this is going to go, but does look interesting, that's for sure. Thank you so very much for this!!!

I liked the UI and all the options, just didn't like the way to save, personally I like to press ESC and be able to select where to save because I save before each choice and check them later if needed but this one overrides the saves.

The introduction is tedious, I understand the deep meaning and setup of the reader's choices, but it doesn't have that initial factor to grab interest, however it is quite interactive.

There is no plot content, just a presentation of the UI options and a few lines of speech from the character Diana.

The renders are good.

There isn't much content to comment on, perhaps the main female character is a little strange in the shape of her head and body.:LOL:

If the story remains interesting, it is quite promising.
Thank you for your feedback ^^ A lot of people have told us most of the things you mentioned, so we're already working on them in order to make a good first release in the future.

I feel the same way about saving, they made that cool interface to save in the main menu which is cool, but I believe that if when saving during the game an interface with at least 3 saves appeared I think it would be great and that it opened directly with ESC or with the right mouse click (in the case of both it opens the menus to choose, they could choose one of the options to open the save and the other for these menus).

We will improve our saving system in the future so that it is more comfortable to navigate. Thank you for the feedback!

Wasn't all that bad. Definitely a demo and just a simple intro. Only about fifteen minutes long if you take your time with it.

The intro gave me some chuckles though. Was well put together and enjoyable. Like playing with the hula hoop and stick (twice) and then catching my balance. The expressions you used, the writing, just all around it was great fun. Was playing as a female protagonist.

Only downside I could see is there wasn't a both option when selecting who you are attracted to. You either go full female, or full male. No in between. It's good for those who only want a lesbian focused game, or a straight only game, but for those who don't mind trying both sides, there is no option. It's one or the other only.

But besides all that, yeah. Seems alright. Definitely needs a lot more content to figure out what this is all about, so kind of hard to judge if this will be good or not. Choices are rather lacking as it is just a bunch of single choices of you saying "yes" over and over. Was kind of annoying (not a fan of single choice menus).

Either way, not bad for a demo, not great either, just really lacking content for you to get a feel for things. Still, wish you the best with this and thanks. ;)
Thank you for the long comment. We're glad you were able to enjoy the demo and we hope we can bring a richer experience in our first release, since we are aware that this was kind of abstract and experimental.

We'd love to add more routes in the future when we have more people in our team. Our workflow is already centered around the idea that the characters' genders may change depending on the player's preferences, but for now we need to limit these options as the work increases exponentially with each route we add. We are happy that you would like to see that change, though!

Again, thank you for taking the time to write this :) We hope to see you again when we make a full release!

Thank you so much!! As people who like to play AVNs with walkthroughs, we figured this would be much more convenient for players who want it. We're happy you like the demo and hope to bring an even better experience in the future <3 :)

Thank you for the concern. We are aware of the extra work and are prepared to handle it as best as we can.

Thank you so much!! We want to bring only the highest quality to our players, so we appreciate that you like the story :) And don't worry, we are careful with our workflow and how we handle all the routes, but thank you for the concern.
