Fabulous renders, amazing models and really good writing. Lacking in pace I thought though. Afraid I didn't manage to make it to the end before nodding off. Pick up the pace a little and this could be fantastic.
Normally I would agree with this being too slow of a pace, but I really enjoyed all of the detailed and well writ dialogue. This certainly did not become a speed clicking simulator for me, as so many others that are dialogue heavy do. The characters all have a lot of personality, and the MC really explores and self reflects, reassessing her own views often. It adds more to the idea of our decisions actually molding the MC's personality.

This makes me want to bump it up higher on my "To Play" list.

I really enjoyed this, just wish there was more already. Amazingly great renders and great writing as well. I did get a bug where I saved the girl but at the end she says that she didn't, although not really a big deal as long as it gets fixed.

One thing that I was hoping for though:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

That said I am eagerly awaiting the next episode.

personally, i agree i am not a fan of super slow build up but jumping right into the porn kinda cheapens it. and this felt the right pace i just hope we can maybe get a shower scene in ep2 at least

all the internal dialog and self-reflection makes her feel real, well more real then most mc i have seen at least just my opinion

wow good for Erosion i have been watching the patreon in the last what 3 days it's gone up 200 dollars

OK lets see how this goes...
  • Quality CGI. Like amazing quality.
  • Music fits a teenage theme, feels very life is strange, and that is a good thing.
  • People have different body types!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! Mom is busty, daughter is petite, friend is bimbo stereotype figure, but that's fine as long as she is the only one.
  • Writing has no grammar issues.
  • Actually writing feels pretty authentic mostly, but do you really ever think your friends are a bad influence? Still mostly good. This is a HUGE accomplishment. No joke.
  • The mom tit insecurity feels forced, slightly breaking immersion. While I like her insecurity about being skinny and small breasted, NO ONE will like her??? Just a tad much... She is sexy, boys would have stared even with her small boobs. She would have noticed the attention from men by age 16, let alone 18. (Edit: Maybe I jumped the gun on this point)
  • Wow a pretty minority... that's bonus points from me.
  • So we get one sex scene, IF you pick being a coward. A good scene though.
  • No animations, but quality images.
I like it.

What I want to see?
  • Meaningful relationships, where sex is a result. The framework for lesbian sex with BFF is clearly being established and it feels authentic!!
  • A slut route is cool too, but make non slut routes have just as much sex but being monogamous. I know that's hard, but I can dream LOL.
  • I would like her to get a boyfriend. Options to have plenty of sex without her being a slut and fucking random people on tinder. You can have her change boyfriends, like make one cheat on her so she has a reason to have different partners but still have the moral high ground of not just screwing random men. Doesn't have to be cheating, can be abusive, or just a conquest where he screws you then dumps you.
  • This is a personal opinion. NO INCEST!!! It will kill the authenticity of the story. I know that will trigger many people on this forum LOL. Plus Patreon will fuck you over. (Though I don't like that censorship)
  • Good Quality Animations would be amazing, but these images are better than bad animations. Most games use 3 images in a rotation gif which looks horrible, I like stills over that but in a perfect world true animations would be better.
  • --> An end. <--- Something that requires planning early on. There needs to have direction for the story to go somewhere.
So far this is a 5/5 introduction. Next installment will need to start introducing sexual content though, or people will get bored. I like the slow pace though, don't go too fast!

Edit: I actually decided to Patreon a month to see how the developer is.

Great Stuff. I really like how the lighting sets the mood in the renders. The props and models look also really great. I couldn't help but notice though, how some renders are a bit grainy/noisy.
The dialogues we also fun to read. I'm really looking forward to future updates.

...She would have noticed the attention from men by age 16...
I'd have to disagree with this part (while I pretty much agree with everything else in that lengthy list :coldsweat:). When I was growing up, there was 1 or 2 that showed interest, but after I moved, I was told about how many actually wanted to be with me. Same story, I went to school with a drop dead gorgeous female former Marine, and she was telling me about how guys still never hit on her (24 years old at this point). I suppose some of society thought of us as "out of their league" and either didn't even try, or were just too shy to roll the dice.

Sort of subjective/situational isn't it? When I was younger a few of my friends were constantly chatted up and a number of times when I was there too and that didn't stop these guys. Bit tough to rule that out completely.

This game has got a huge potential, graphics,renders,character models all are superb well done, might be one of very few that may live up to the expectation and won't disappoint you. Keep up the good work, looking forward to more :)

I don’t think it’s just shyness - lads would assume that a great looking girl was already going out with someone - maybe it’s the same in reverse as women get older - i’ve often overheard women state “all the best ones are taken”...

Seems like the devs patreon is slowly growing in support, great!
He really deserves all the support in the world for this wonderful game.

If he continues to deliver of the same quality, I'm sure he'll reach that 3k goal eventually:D
Surely this was written by a woman - the writing seems so intuitive
