That's actually me playing that, unamplified. I hadn't picked up a guitar in six months when I recorded that, which is fitting since Scott is NOT supposed to be a very good guitar player lol.
If you mean the music in MC's bedroom, I was pretty sure the main piano riff was something
I lift-- err "inspired" by an old Sierra game but I never could figure out what it was. I know I played Phantasmagoria, but I never got very far.
Edit: Out of curiosity, I put on the Phantasmagoria soundtrack and I do hear some similarities here and there. The set of instruments I used for MC bedroom theme (piano, shakers, pizzicato strings, harp, synth bass, and triangle(?)) are highly represented in Phantasmagoria game's soundtrack, which might be why it sounds "in the style of." I made about 10 original pieces of music for the game and all of them are some kind of reference to something, often old adventure game OST.
Damn you actually wrote the whole thing.
It turns out I might've been thinking about phantasmagoria 2 (spoony anyone?), but yeah it also does also kinda remind me of Gabriel Knight, and even Ripper.
I'm really really not just saying this, it's extremely impressive how you managed to make the gameplay, and the feel of the game, wholly original in terms of the typical structure, that one can find on this page, and the moment I have a tight overview of my economy, this is definitely a title I'm gonna support.
Kinda crazy I didn't pick up this game before.
A few criticisms/thoughts:
You kinda make fun of it yourself with the fridge moment, but it does kinda get a little iffy when stuff happens at the edge of the screen, while a lot of the locales don't run into it, it's the only 'mechanical' part of the game that sometimes annoyed me.
There were a few moments, namely in the kitchen, the garage and the bathroom, where the limited view and also the perspective kinda messed with me.
There's sort of a big difference in how well a 'sex scene' is animated, and that might have something to do with how comfortable you are with certain perspectives, I'd say they're all at least a 6/10, it's obviously all subjective. But the two POV scenes with the mom, namely the blowjob on the bed and the boobjob, are really really well animated and you show the room from a different perspective, which is very well done, so the scenes that aren't on this level stick out. Generally it's really good, because you stay committed to the artstyle, but Meredith looks a lot better in the titjob scene, than she does when you hug her in the kitchen for example, and in the future this difference in quality might get jarring.
The puzzles are too logical, you need at least one or two puzzles, that function on adventure game logic, maybe even have some 4th wall breaking memes about it. They can be hard enough, that some players have to resort to a walkthrough, especially considering that most people are just gonna use a walkthrough the moment it gets a little hard anyway.
One of the greatest things about oldschool adventure games, was that they had puzzles that were just plain illogical and stupid, but you somehow felt kinda smart when you figured it out. Jasmine/MC kinda meme about it, when you tell her the solution to the puzzle. I feel that your puzzles are a bit too easy, maybe I'm biased, because I will click on everything a billion times and pick everything up, but you know.
For example in Phantasmagoria 2, when you can't find your keys, but somehow picking up your rat, putting it under the couch and then using the granola bar on the rat, will give you both the keys and the rat back. (One of the first puzzles in the game).
lastly I really hope you stay structured (unlike this post), and focus on finishing the main story, before you add a bunch of different locales and features to the game, because this has good writing (for a porn game), it relies on the right clichés, and you actually manage to pull off the genre really well. A lot of games (not gonna mention names), are inspired by the genre, but because they lack the soundtrack, the character walking around, and the dry humour, come off as soulless, and I end up shamefully playing them through to jerk it off, while not really getting engaged in the game. This game makes me want to play it, and the porn comes as a bonus. So kudos.
