I stopped being a patreon supporter back in 2019 do to the lack of demos coming out, It's kinda nuts how it's not finished yet.
Maybe you could do what that other guy said, but you should be able to just jump from below them as they're on and get up.Ok, what the fuck is the deal with the room with the 3 fans moving back and forth? Like, seriously, how do you get up past them? I've been ramming my skull into the fucking wall for 30 Goddamn minutes with this shit.
Hilariously enough, it's not. Except for the addition of a lot of static NPCs to converse with, this demo is almost identical to the v0.49 Fire Level demo from February of 2021.This honestly feels like a completely different game and I don't know how to feel about it.
Hold jump and it makes you go much higher.Ok, what the fuck is the deal with the room with the 3 fans moving back and forth? Like, seriously, how do you get up past them? I've been ramming my skull into the fucking wall for 30 Goddamn minutes with this shit.
I'm in agreement for the most part. I can't really comment on the overall quality of the writing if I'm skipping through much of it - I will give props for having reactive and interlinked side/sub-plots within the levels, but it feels like that much effort and intricacy would be best reserved for a project of its own - because so much of it is disconnected from most of the audience's motivation for playing the game - much of it isn't erotic in nature - and this especially shows in the H-scenes themselves.Alright. Thoughts: As I was afraid, the story and amount of dialog is what I would call bloated. Maybe a platformer wasn't the best way to tell this story because every room it's WORDS WORDS WORDS. I was not engaged in the slightest with the story and I'd say the writing falls short where it would matter most in this sort of game: the H scenes. They aren't erotic or tantalizing in the slightest, they try to be aloof and funny, and they just aren't, so it fails on two fronts. Irony? Considering they're written by a guy whose name would suggest he might be good at this, but HentaiWriter is seemingly the worst at writing actual HENTAI.

To Noble 6,I saw basically everything you can in one go of the demo
I did, but I think I worded it poorly. I saw as much as I could if you only do one runthrough.
Yep, this is its first and biggest problem. The two don't mesh together in the slightest, at least in the way this game attempts them.However, the way those tenets have been implemented (platforming and storytelling) directly conflicts with each other.
Yeah you're on the money. Though you are forgetting the third element in this proverbial tug-of-war - and this applies on both the player and developer side - that's the adult content. It already competes with the gameplay its self in a sense - if you're watching a scene, you've lost or brought yourself closer to losing - and interrupted the action gameplay and progression therein. Having long dialog sequences, cutscenes and lore dumps diminshes it even further. This town (ie my attention span and why I'm invested in playing any given H-game) aint big enough for the three of them.when the focus of an action-oriented game appears to be, in part, to tell a story with detailed worldbuilding, you run into a situation where you have two core tenets of the game that feel like they're competing for your attention to get the full experience. However, the way those tenets have been implemented (platforming and storytelling) directly conflicts with each other.

Action-oriented games are, by design, supposed to keep the player engaged and moving all about a level, so having that gameplay flow be interrupted by what feels like pages out of a novel is jarring to say the least. Conversely, rich worldbuilding stories are typically read at a slower and gradual pace, contrary to pace of an action-oriented game.
