But that is NTR. Actually the best kind of NTR, the implied one, mystery NTR, where the MC might not know but you the player do.

I found a small bug with a simple fix. If you manage to get the Queeny x Chad BJ scene there is a missing image (seems to be a chance whenever she is at max sexual tension, you can just send her to a room with Chad to roll the dice). You can just go into game\images\chad and make a copy of 1guy bj.webp to rename to x800.webp. (you can also just rename it, I just don't know 100% if it is the correct image, but it seems to be)

Chad also posts a picture of Queeny after the bj event, which is a nice touch.

lame
either focus on ntr or nts
you say you want to focus on "bad gameplay leads to ntr" and thats good, but then nts has no place in the game.

Yea well thats not really my cup of tea. I want to see something happening not imagine it happening. They might as well have been sitting in the room playing Scrabble in my eyes lol.

It's a really really cool idea- and has high potential depending on how ambitious you get with it. Lots of flag possibilities- like differing scenes depending if light is on or off- or if there's fog or not- or if there is ghost activity during such things- and of course whether you're in the van on cameras or just hearing something from another room- maybe the classic open door ntr with the right requirements.
That is- if you're basing it on an NTR theme and it's not just flavor. So far seems like the heroines like you whether they're fucking other guys or not. So it's really just open relationships and BSS. Don't think MC is in an actual relationship with either- so polygamy is okay to everyone?.. Would be nice if there was a heroine that meant more to MC so get more of that impact. - maybe with a much slower building corruption if they joined the team later.
That being said- keeping the AI chars consistent is up to the AI. I highly recommend trying new models before you have too much already content on the field to change easily- pixai.art is a free one and haruka v2 is a model there that works extremely well for certain things. It's always better than the generic AI I see often..

I like the idea of this game. I would prefer more art less gameplay

Eh, a lot of that fault is on me.
I'm looking at it this way:
One of the reviews mentioned that he was walking back to the truck at the end of every turn, but then dinged the review score because it sounded like he missed some of the content. And it's like - yeah! Imagine that process playing out IRL or any other form of media - imagine the MC hiding in the van while sending the woman into a haunted house to do all the work, and then they don't correctly identify the ghost because they probably needed more help searching for evidence inside the house. Hardly a situation where these girls are going to be throwing themselves at him, and the end result was missing out on the scenes with Queeny and Noms both during and after the hunt.
Which is the point of this game, that emergent storytelling in response to player action - a cycle of dilemma, decision, and outcome that drives story progression instead of boringly just selecting routes from a dialogue box. Spend time inside the house with the girls, get scenes and route progression. Ignore them, get another route. Correctly identify the ghost, heres a route; fail, well here's another route. At least for me, those decisions and the possibility of failure creates tension and investement which other porn games just don't have.
The reason it's my fault is because it's ultimately my responsibility to help players firmly grasp that. It's cool that I just created a prototype that intertwines a complex ghost hunting game with a complex relationship tracker that's wide enough that even the above scenario has a place within it - but if it's effectively invisible to many players who therefore aren't making decisions with that in mind and don't understand that what's occurring is the result of it, it defacto does not exist. The next update will include an expanded tutorial section which will hopefully make the game's genre more clear, as well as how to navigate it.
Plus just a more in depth tutorial in general. I'm the kind of person that will go into Paradox 4x games and push away the tutorial, beating it away with my shoe if I must, and immediately hide the help box. I made a tutorial for someone like me lol, I'll try to make it for other kinds of folk too

You genuinely have a golden concept on your hands here, definitely still rough but that's what a prototype is anyways. Personally love everything but the menus so far, the phone is just too tedious with the constant back and forth, a simple drop down menu that shows all the important bits (map, event log, and evidence tracker) would be really handy. Other than that though, solid game, looking forward to seeing it get polished up.
Really enjoyed this intro, it's fairly engaging and I can definitely see the mechanics getting very fun later on once I understand them a bit better. Kind of reminds me of Nebel Geisterjager in some very good ways. The two girls are cute and entertaining and I like the scenes I've seen with them so far. Writing doesn't take itself too seriously and I think that's a good thing.
I see what people mean about mechanic overload at the start for sure. It's a lot to take in. I've done 4 playthroughs of the first hunt so far and I've yet to use any of the expendable items yet because I'm still messing around with the other things like moving characters, swapping tools, understanding the lights etc.
Early pieces of QoL I'd love to see are possibly a minimap, and fast travelling to rooms. Once you memorise the layout it's less of a pain but I don't think it takes anything away from the game by letting you click the rooms on the map to go there. I think being able to quickly swap equipment without having to go to the van would be very useful too but I can understand if you want the "realism" of running back to get stuff. Long, long in the future it'd probably be really cool to have an "infinite" mode where you can stay on a map forever just to see events with characters.
I'd also LOVE the ability to turn off the meters for everyone but yourself (or at least the lust meters!!) just to add both an extra level of difficulty if desired and really double down on the suspense about h events. Some kind of event or condition that hides the location of the others or randomly locks doors would also be really good for this I think too just to raise suspicion and cause a bit of panic. Or maybe some kind of ghost power that makes the characters appear different?
Any plans on letting us rename characters, or maybe just the MC?
Really, really excited for this, I haven't been this interested in an H-game for a long time. I can only pray this doesn't end up abandoned or getting one update a year.

I just tried it and it's a shame that it doesn't have good ntr scenes, but it's understandable that this is a presentation version so to speak to see reactions, personally as an intro I loved the concept that is being handled in this development quite fresh, I look forward to seeing how it develops in future updates.

Yea i saw the scene where she flashes the MC and the girls looking like they are gonna kiss the other guys but pretty much it as far as scenes with art
Honestly all I'm gonna say is yes this game looks to be alright with the camera's to look when your in the van and the whole phone app thing to see the pics, but my only complaint is that it's not exactly easy or straight forward to get the pics or the live camera feed like with Queeny and Chad with the BJ, still haven't got it and the time, only 10 moves then you have no choice but the make a decision on the ghost. So yeah if it's a little bit easier to get the juicy parts of the game I would like that mate but all in all really nice game =)

Really great premise with a lot of room for interesting developments. It feels like it'd be pretty easy to develop too since basically all you'd need would be to just add more scenes which you could do with a simple point based progression system. I think if I were to give any suggestions I would suggest to avoid the VN structure as much as possible. I feel like a game like this would benefit most from sticking to the infinite loop structure where you just keep going on more ghost hunts endlessly to play around as you please in a sandbox and then maybe have a menu between hunts to select an ending if you meet some requirements to get it. I think that would be the best way to avoid the development hell that most games have where they need to simultaneously deal with a progressing story every update with a billion different branching routes that all split off on their own. Sticking to just the loop of going on hunts endlessly would avoid the obnoxious route split issue and allow you to just keep getting new scenes as you please which feels to me like it would be way easier to do than the alternative. Something like Summer Sweepers by Impy would be a good point of reference for the structure that would work really well.
Though obviously that's just a suggestion if you have your own ideas which from your posts dev you clearly seem to have some passion behind making this so I'm sure you've got an idea of what you're doing and what you're wanting this game to be but that would just be my opinion on the matter. Hope you keep up with the development of this cause I'm definitely going to be checking this out every update it gets. Good luck.
