Oh sorry I didn't think it was a serious question. No steam release date yet, the game still has a lot of development ahead of it.
The steam page for it may be going up fairly soon though!
I asked because I saw "Release Date: 2025-11-12" on the first post. Maybe I misread that pure incomprehensible insanity that is the English dating system.

That makes way more sense. I was so confused where that date came from. I don't control the thread, I wonder if the date just refers to the 2.41 update - though even that's off by a day so not sure.

In any case, that was just a small misunderstanding, I wish you good fortune and hope the game will continue developing nicely!

An excellent game that I will follow going forward. That said I find it annoying that I can only play already unlocked H scene per night. Unlocking them should still be slow but once I have the scene selection menu don't roll over to morning once I play one.

That or add the Lucy mini game to the other characters <3

I'm going to add the ability to see multiple scenes soon. I'd like to add interactive scenes for the other characters, but they are are huge amount of work, so it'll be a while before I do.

One of the best porn games i've ever played.
Great story, great gameplay. Wish that some fights were harder, but even now they are really cool. Wish to see more content and some content with adventurers parties, sidequests.
But sex scenes need at least a little rework. Make them more controllable. Or faster. And so you can choose companions scenes. More lucy scenes. Make them somewhat usable in gameplay. For example make that sex with lucy lessen her fracture a faster. But sex drains MC stamina. Regain bloodpool for scout. Or/and make skilltree that you can levelup only with special sexexp. Idunno, charisma/resolve. That allows to sell and buy at better price, give some skills to empower your companions or affect psyche of enemies, get rep faster, get more story events. With more sexdraining mechanic it will maybe give more depth. Some skills unlocked only after sex with certain characters. At the beginning will be more reason to choose between improvement of skills or relation with lucy. Also make that sex gives more affection and you get sex before maxed affection

Thanks! The sex scenes will be getting more content / love at some point. I doubt I will ever tie skills to them though. But controls for the scenes, some dialog, the ability to pick multiple scenes in one night - that's all coming.

Sex does effect Lucy's fracture, and sex with Scout always refills her blood pool.

There will be some scenes that do get unlocked by certain skills / choices. Scout in particular has some content coming on that front.

Just a random idea as you said no skills tied to sex but what if... adding a recipe for a potion that makes Lucy a bit less fractured from sex?
Thought just came to me reading this so figured i'd just throw it out there hehe

Sex generally reduces her fracture already. Unless she doesn't finish, but wouldn't that stress anyone out?

Hey Soul, I'm lost about researching the heart tree. I didn't get any seed from the dryad and I don't know how to progress. Is there an exact way to research certain items?

Heartwood and Heart tree research are two different things - at night, at the study bench, research the heart tree to completion. Once you do, chat with the dryad. Dryad will give you a heart seed to plant in the greenhouse then let it grow.

If you dont have the option to research the heart tree yet, talk to the dryad and ask for a piece of it.

For each update, is it advisable start new game or can I keep playing on the same save over and over?

Feel free to keep playing, generally its fine, but the current events / story content more or less end mid-winter. The game can keep being played infinitely past that, just dont expect to see any big story stuff yet (more is on the way).
