So in terms of content proportion, how much of it is non-NTR compared to NTR? Too many titles where it's technically avoidable have a rather bare bones experience if you do avoid it.

Game keeps freezing and closing when I try to load a save any fixes?

I’ve never experienced this issue, so your save file may be corrupted. Try deleting the Ren’Py save in the Windows APPDATA folder.
If that doesn’t work, delete the game folder and download a fresh copy of the game. That may fix the problem.

If it’s the leaked/compression version, I might not be able to assist much. I don’t know what compression algorithm was used and its effect on file integrity.

Aw, I’m really glad you sympathize with Akari. I’m rooting for her too! Though UBs are kinda powerful in lore…

As for your questions:

Staying idle versus doing work results in Akari spending her time differently. I tested this minutes ago and it works as intended.

Okay I figured it out, yeah I'll def be sticking with it. I'm probably gonna be spending an inordinate amount of time figuring out the vanilla route but that's fine, it's worth it.

 

[Eet_Fuk]

I'm probably gonna wait until the game's done to get it but it looks really good so far.

Gonna be gray and old by then for sure

Looks great, absolutely won't play it. Feel bad for cutie Akari just from the premise and screenshots. All the best wishes to the devs, it's rare to see people with their heads in the right place about their project THAT much.

So, even if the NTR is avoidable, some SA isn't?

Depends on your level of tolerance. A bastard suddenly groping you on the train isn’t really that avoidable (sadly even in IRL), but you need some tension otherwise you’re playing a 100% vanilla game.

If the idea of your girl even being slightly touched by another man is anathema, I think you might be better served playing a pure vanilla game catered to those interests. Most of my vanilla readers play the game with the expectation that NTR will happen if you screw up. And they are fine with that.

I think the easiest way is to just play the demo. It should give you a pretty good feeling about the game’s atmosphere.

 

[goldenbeard]

Anyone have the uncompressed version?

Thanks!

There's definitely a difference there, yes. One is disgusting but it happens... especially with the chikan plague in Japan. Things beyond that in public transportation are the domain of nukige and ridiculous hentai tropes.
I was planning to wait for more content to be out but maybe I should go ahead and try the demo.

When someone have been a VANILLA VIRGINS for long, they evolve to NTR SLAYER.

Not a side character. An entirely new main character.

If she's romanceable, does that mean that Akari will in turn, "succumb to the evil bastards", by us choosing Shiori? Or, will there be a harem route to have both heroines? Or are both an option alongside just choosing Akari?

So we can romance Shiori, but also nothing bad will happen to Akari if we make the correct/good decisions. And I'm guessing it's vice versa as well?

I also personally would prefer if there weren't a harem route in the game. It's more realistic and makes each choice we make more impactful if we know that we can only end up with one of the two heroines.

I’m not going to say nothing bad happens to Akari, but it’s much more exciting to play the game and find out what happens to the "other" girl when you pick one.

Now, if you pick Shiori over Akari, then obviously the handsome bastard has an extra avenue to worm his way into Akari's heart. And he will constantly bring up this fact. Logically, it’s also a hard argument to counter. The handsome bastard can make a show of dropping his multiple girls for Akari, while you chose another girl over her. Does Akari fall for it? Well, Miyokami knows.

The dynamics of the relationships are too complex, so I’m going to neither confirm nor deny what exactly happens if you pick one girl over the other. Play the game and find out!

I feel with all the Y/N questions, I’m going to spoil the game before it’s finished haha.

"Exciting" in what way? Like story-wise, or erotic wise? I don't wanna see anything bad happen to Shiori, so I'll most likely go her route and see Akari be corrupted. Looking forward to seeing how this love triangle dynamic will play out in the future.

It is interesting, maybe a bit too complex to avoid situations, wish fhat was toned down just a bit, to make it hard, but make it feel still manageable. I just think needing to be perfect, doesn't feel great, and essentially boils down to either walk-through needed or play in a kinetic VN way. So wish that was changed.

Also, any plans to have us be able tochange MC's name, just don't like forced names. I can use something to do it, but usually like when its in game, cause its easier.

Also wished for a bit more unique art instead of sprites, can feel static at times, but know that probably takes time so understandable.
But either way keep up good work.

I don't know about this. I have only played until after the train for now, but I had done everything from the first try, up to that "Hatred" option. I think everything is just good as is, and people are failing because of failure of judgement, or because they don't use it at all. You can use common sense to get through all of that without any walkthrough. You can also just fail and live with the consequences. This is a good way to play, I think. If you really really really hate NTR, you probably shouldn't play games centred around it, even if it's avoidable.

Maybe it changes later, but most of the complains I've seen are about the train scene and you can avoid it just fine if you aren't just skipping and waiting for porn and think a little.

It's my honest belief that the best ntr games are the ones where you need to try to not get ntred and can still fail. I believe the difficulty is perfect as is.
