Okay so I might just be stupid but, how do you get the two scenes? I feel like I've tried all the options so unless I'm not clicking on something I'm supposed too I don't know what's wrong.

Edit: Yeah so my problem was that first choice when you meet her. I got it now.
I'm making a walkthrough right now to avoid situations like that.

I'm curious - do you think the dialogue was not intuitive enough and you didn't know which options increase or decrease urvasi relationship score? Or was there some other reason you picked other dialogue choices.

I really like where the story is going, nice premise and a lot of potential. The art is also great, of course.
I'll wait for a longer version to do a proper review, but I think this will be great, rooting for you guys.

Hey, everyone.

So, yeah. We know we’ve given you radio silence for about two months now and we really are sorry about that. Hellbound has encountered some organizational troubles, but worry not! We’re still going and we won’t be stopping anytime soon!

Our development stagnated due to a difference between our needs as a product and some of our habits as creators, colliding with our overall lack of resources. These differences have since been amended and we can now resume production again and deliver the next update within reasonable time. When we have a sense for just how efficient these amendments are, we’ll have a projected release date for you.

In the time since we released our first build, we have written and edited the script for the next major update, and have gotten most of the art done for it. We mentioned wanting to do a followup 1.1 update to the initial release, but we have since decided to integrate those fixes and changes into version 0.2. Until then, thank you for sticking with us.

We’ll see you all soon.

the story telling was pretty good. easy to understand. the art is nice overall. it gets the job done.

The MC although weak he's at least got enough of a spine to talk back to those around him and fight back even if his chances suck so i really liked that.

the downside for me is since this game uses 2d art instead of 3d. you have to rely on sprites over a different background alot instead of scenes with characters interacting in different environments. in that sense i'd say daz3d or 3d in general has spoiled me.

the characters appearance i like alot though. i've always been a sucker for myth and legends so that's awesome.

probably the best part was to be able to choose how the sex scene plays out if the MC is dominated or not. choices like that are always good.

in general i like the game alot and will continue to play more. and cant wait to see how the sister and step-mom fit into MC's fun time.

never really enjoyed sandbox but at least here it aint so bad. the red arrows really help. but at the moment it feels unneeded. like most of the game could have just gone without it. i'm assuming repeatable sex scenes/actions are gonna be a thing?

either way good luck dev.

I'm actually glad the game is in 2d. Porn games with 3d graphics just looks absolutely terrible imo, could never get off to them.
eh no judgment 2d has it's charm.

but my point was that in 3d games its easier to set a scene where the characters are interacting with the environment. sitting at a bar chatting and drinking, multiples battle poses during a fight scene, multiple sex positions during a sex scene, etc.

i mean i know you can do that with 2d as well. but imagine all the time needed two draw one image? in that case i would hope all of that time is focused on the sex/lewd scenes instead. i'll be ok if the rest of the game is in sprites.:p

Game is pretty good so far. Question tho, I finished my first playthrough of the game but I never got the scene for the first picture in the previews. Is that scene in game in this version, and I just missed it?

All the scenes from previews are in the game, you must have missed it.

I have little game development experience so far but what I can see is that players tend to have a very little attention span. You have smth like a few minutes. All new successful games have one thing in common - a sex scene happens just about from the start.
This cat demon looks amazing. What if you start the game with the dream where she is having her way with a MC and THEN you go with a scene where his stepmother demands his help. Just as an example.

Good luck to you! You have everything to make a great game!

Checking this one out, and enjoying it so far. Have to say though, making the mistake of playing a game with significant narration directly after watching a season of Top Gear leads me to read all of the narration in Clarkson's voice, which causes a rather confusing mental image given content. Overall, I give this a 7.5/10, mostly due to it still being in it's infancy and having some spelling errors and instances where you're called MC instead of your chosen name. In the end, this has the potential to be great, and I will be watching it's progress with interest. ...and hopefully not still channeling an inner Clarkson.

i've personally never been fond of dream sex scenes. in my opinion they just take up time since at the end of the day it's "just" a dream. it doesnt affect the relationship with the characters most of the time. usually the rare exception is if its a succubus or goddess or something and then when you meet them in person at least then they'll acknowledge what happened in the dream.

IF and i do mean IF a sex scene needed to be added in the beginning i would prefer it would be with a GF and then his stepmom walks in on them and gives him shit.

i mean hell the way he's able to stand up for himself it would at least be within the realm of possibilty he could have a GF...unless him being a virgin is important.

personally i dont mind the intro as is. but i cant deny the comment about a intro sex scene or somewhere in the beginning makes some kind of sense.
