Looks like the game has some issues with UI elements and canvas sizes. If the game is not set in the resolution devs are using (1920 x 1080 I suppose), you will get softlocked because some elements like the first magazine page, wont resize accordingly and it will be impossible to close it and continue playing.

Also, I got stuck at the beginning, just to test the saves i did a quick save and a normal save but when I tried to load it, couldn't click on any element in screen to progress.

aside from that, whats with the save times? lol.

Looks interesting, but can someone explain the futa/trans tag? Is it a LI? Or avoidable content that won't keep popping up every two minutes and I have to keep saying no to or avoiding.
Hello! The trans content is for a LI. All romantic or sexual content with any character is avoidable; you simply don't have to talk to them, join their club, etc. (y)

Thank you very much. It downloaded clean as water.
You welcome! I hope you enjoy it, and please drop by to give feedback to help me improve the game or tell me how much you liked it (if you liked it). :giggle:

Wow, amazing start! Loving the setting and time period.
Thank you very much! So glad you liked it.

Hello! I'm sorry about the problems you've encountered. I'm aware of them, but I don't have enough time to do everything. In the end, I have to choose between continuing the story or fixing errors, and I have no choice but to work on one thing at a time.

I added a message at the beginning of the game warning that there is a problem with resolutions. The game should automatically select a 16:9 resolution, but for some people it doesn't work properly and they experience the visual problems you mention. This can be solved simply by changing the resolution. Once you've done that, you can set the resolution you want (16:9) and it will work.

That other error you mention at the beginning, you're referring to when you talk to your sister and have to unpack a box, right? I'm also aware of that error, and I haven't fixed it yet because I didn't think many people would be saving at that point, right at the beginning of the game. :cry: (Once again, I need to optimize how I spend my development time).

And yes, I know the saving times are excessively long. I tried to fix that in a previous version, and I thought I had succeeded, but it came back. So I have to investigate again to see what's going on. o_O

In any case, I hope you enjoyed the game. :)

Not bad at all, definetly intresting storry comming up. Not much content for now but hope in future ;) Good luck Dev :)
Thank you so much for your words of support! I'm happy you enjoyed the story, and I hope to bring you new content soon. :D

Wow. need someway to control the GPU. i adjusted to low res and low Hz but it stil pulls 400 fps and gpu ramping up to 60c...
Yes, that vertical synchronization issue has been resolved in v0.2.4. You can set the graphics quality to high without any problems; the game doesn't consume much resources, and there is an FPS limitation.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

I'll keep an eye on this game. Very nice. Just hope i'll not end with a kinky harem x)
I woud like to see harem as option... it will be sandbox game, so work hard, buy a house, invite love ones or one why not?
For me harem is better option then cheating... but it is only my preferences ;)

The description of harem on this web is as follows: 1 person being courted by at least 3 others, all engaging in consensual sex simultaneously.

Is this what you are talking about?

Because I thought the harem tag would mean having sex with all the LI's in the game simultaneously.

Not at all that, for example in your game i see teachers and nurse as potensional candidates to share mc (they are more mature and mc still fresh meet)...Harem is a world of fiction...Like okey i am fucking nurse but she know that mc fucking others and agree with it, teachers know same. Ofcouse there will be story ahed to reach that poit :) Tehere no limits how to show mc sharing or cheating its all up to you creator. It will be a shame to pick up only one gir becouse i see that game have big potesional candidates to share and it poit to harem...For example Frenche newcomer and audio club gir Sandra if I correct ;) Sandbox openig to you all dors...If player don't like girl or u know...just can ignore that route. Just have limits on grinding money and all will be fine :) I'm teling you this becouse cant find balanse in my game so this is tip as Dev to Dev ;)

Well, if we take the definition from this website, there could be a harem, because it's like you say: you could be with, for example, the nurse, a teacher or another student's mother, and a classmate who doesn't care about your sex life, but most of the love interests at school (classmates) will have a problem with that.

I don't want to prevent the player from being with several girls at once, but most LIs won't accept it and there will be consequences.

By the way, are you a dev too? What game are you making?

out of curiosity and i apologize if this was asked before but are there cheats available in the current version ?
Hello! Don't worry, ask whatever you want. :)
There are cheats, but only in the Patreon version. If you pay for the lowest tier, you can access the cheats for version v0.2.3.1.

gonna wait to see when rework this has potential though
When I rework it, in addition to the graphics, I'm going to add animations like the ones in update v0.2.3.1 (in the infirmary) and the ones in update v0.2.4, when you talk to people or meet them for the first time.

I don't know when that will be yet, but it's possible that when Wednesday is over, I'll rework it. But I'm not 100% sure.

I don't know which GPU you use but... at least with nvidia you can adjust the max framerate in the nvidia app in the global graphic settings.

Awesome that you liked it, and thanks so much for your kind words. ♥♥ I don't know if my game can become one of the best NSFW games. At the very least, I try to give you all the quality I can. :giggle:

Great start to an already good game. The style is unique so it’s refreshing to play a game that feels original. The small, but diverse cast offers a diverse flavors for everyone to enjoy. Looking forward to future updates. Patreon subscribed.
Thank you so much! :giggle: I'm glad to hear that you liked both the style and the characters so much! There are still a few more characters to introduce, I hope you like them too. :p

And thank you so much for your support on Patreon! ♥♥♥

This games have so potential!

Up until the last update on 12/25, the developer focused more on developing the characters, which is good for the beginning. There are almost no sex scenes, but when there are, they aren't explicit at all, but they were done in such an intelligent way that it becomes even better. anyway, This game has a promising future if the developer continues like this.
Thank you very much! Yes, I focus a lot on the story and the characters, on building scenes where you get to know them in a realistic way and get really into the scene/story.

But I don't understand one thing: you say that the sex scenes aren't explicit, but they are, or maybe I misunderstood. :unsure:Although it's true that I've had to think long about the scenes and come up with ways to add sex at such early stages of the story without it seeming forced.

Thank you very much again for your words of encouragement. I hope to bring you more and better material. :giggle:
