i have to wonder who is this game for like the gameplay is just generic platformer then there is half a book worth of just background text logs which im willing to bet less then 100 people will ever read and then the actual porn feels like it was sanitized to hell and back to the point the scenes come of as cringy
The crazy thing was that the text logs weren't even originally the focus, just one day mid-development HW decided he wanted to write and here we are, and it was simply a game that came out during the early years of western adult games where the landscape wasn't as developed and a game of this effort was actually very impressive (just talking about first level, ofcourse, not what we got now.) The scenes were also not as sanitized, there weren't these whole patreon restrictions like we have today, and HW would actively take feedback on every part of game development and keep in active touch.

Now it only exists specifically to satisfy the author's ego as you have pointed it out correctly: no one asked for nor wanted all these text dumps. And as you have noticed: the game came out a whole generation past its relevance.

I'm pretty sure all that's because of the feature creep. It started as a platformer and then the author wanted to expand on the world and the story that adapts based on your choices and suddenly the game has a ton of systems and ideas that all work against each other.

At the start you should come up with a design document and if you have a new idea you need to go back to that document to see if it works, and be realistic about the length of time it would take to implement it.

Without that document the author clearly lost focus on how the game should come together and it ended up like this. Same reason why a game like Starfield turned out terribly, teams moving forward hoping things will work out instead of planning it.

The problem with calling it feature creep is, usually that's the result of executive meddling where the corporate overlords want to cram as much as they can into their game to make it more marketable

This is an example of HW doing feature creep TO HIMSELF

I disagree with you on this, it can happen on any project be it one person or a thousand. I've played some skyrim mods that have clear feature creep, and I doubt they were made with corporate overlords.

And it can happen because of malicious meddling or because someone is extremely passionate about the project and keeps thinking of new ways to expand it. Or any number of reasons you can list, the important bit is that they aren't sitting back and thinking at the big picture of how the project comes together.

In this case it seems like they poorly estimated how long it would take to create features and focused on ones at the expense of others. Probably because of lack of talent/manpower in those areas (not trying to be mean, just saying that you need certain skillsets to build out different areas of a project and for a r18 porn game that could be hard to find) and the work that could be done was extended far beyond what should have been done because otherwise they'd be twiddling their thumbs.

To dismiss this as the result of "meddling corporate overlords" is a bit silly.

I was able to get the game running on Android using a fork of Winlator called Winlator Frost
Although I only manage 30 fps I find it very playable without crashes or the sort. I did fiddle about a lot in container settings for a couple days.

This is not an excuse. You can't massively overrun a project in both dollar amount and timelines and get to claim you did it because you were "extremely passionate"

All I know is that I'd never trust HW or anyone else on the FF team with any more of my money. They have a game for Faye planned and I'd be surprised if it came out in this decade.

teach me captain
Alrighty soldier head over to the github page and download that winlator frost. I use glibc 7.1.3 v2, and I don't know about other versions since it's a damn hassle to reinstall a new version.
Then it's a matter of downloading FF onto your phone and setting up a container.
The settings attached worked for me. I did install wine mono and I don't know if it's required but it's bugged and the only way I got it to download is opening a command prompt and giving "Wineboot -u".
Good luck matey.

Is this game actually complete? I'm playing 1.0.1 and the entirety of Wildwoods was pretty empty (no NPCs, no music, no dialogue during the sex scenes, and the boss battle at the end of the level had no dialogue and no sex scene when failing it). The only event that seemed to function was a run-in with Faye. Maybe it's a bug, but that's one hell of a bug that I'm amazed a finished game would contain.

No, it is not complete. We've been getting promises of it being completed back in march.
