Thanks. Lucy will have a few different routes - an earlier build had the start of the second route, but it was turned off until I can get a little more time to flesh it out. I will say there won't be any route where Lucy becomes a monster or similar, but a more fleshed out flirting phase is on the road map. I know it may disappoint some people, but there really isn't any kind of focus on corruption or similar themes in this game. The closest is maybe the vampire girl, Scout, but even she's pretty tame.
Stay with vanila and cozy. We all have enough of potentially good games which turn into garbage because of some freaks and kinky shit.
Don't forget why people love your game in the first place

I am that freak and can only humbly express my desire of having being an absolute creep and scumbag available.
But even without it; I do really love the game. Just wish for more, kinky and freaky shit.

i dont want freaky stuff per se but if the option for people to do it but that it becomes a tragedy where her transformation beyond saving and you have to put an end her, where your lust was her demise which makes the freaky person want to do a wholesome route. that was my thought process.

Exactly. Focusing on things like building up the relationships with more dialogue, more flirting before jumping into full sex, different girls taking different approaches to seducing the MC or initiating sex. These things will go a LONG way in this game. I wouldn't mind different transformations, maybe Lucy grows a semen sucking tentacle during some scenes where her mana is high or maybe Scout turns into a more lustful MUST SUCK dick vampire if you ignore her too much. But there shouldn't be anything too crazy past that.

Hello!

Here's update 1.5 + hot fixes. Thanks for your patience while we get on the new schedule of uploading to Patreon. Next update on itch.io will be in another 2 weeks - but update 1.6 is already available on Patreon.

Thanks again to everyone for checking out the game. Let us know if you find any bugs, or have any feedback!

-Scout will occassionally pay you a nighttime visit when she gets hungry.

-Scout's current bloodpool is visible on her companion page (only after she admits to her true nature)

-New Events

-As the temperature decreases, there's a cold effect that creeps in on the edges of the screen

-A button beside the temperature bar that allows you to instantly burn chopped wood (instead of having to wait until evening).

New sex scenes? Improved gameplay? Refined art? None of that! Personally these two save my life as I constantly keep forgetting to burn wood in the evening!

Jokes aside, thank you so much!

Having only played a little bit so far, I thought this was all about the one girl in the preview pics, but looking at the changelog for the new version, apparently there are at least two other LIs? Soooooo... missing harem tag?

Yeah 3 in 1.52, but 1.7 is adding a fourth, and there are at least 2 more on the way.

Dev should consider adding guests that don't ask for alcohol, you run out early and you're fucked
There are guests that don't ask for alcohol, but it's all RNG so good chance you just didnt get them. That being said: once you get a few upgrades going and start making your own alcohol you will very rarely run out. But balance is also still a work in progress, and far from final. Will keep poking at it.

Not long after I posted I did finally find some guests who only asked for food but the vast majority seem to ask for alcohol. Feels really unfair early on, but I may have just gotten unlucky if there is supposed to be an even split between options.

The early game is supposed to be a little rough (but again, I'll keep balancing it). Once you get a couple upgrades and get rolling though, it gets much, much easier. Thanks for the feedback!
