It's still pretty much a non-game. You basically hunt around looking for scenes that are almost impossible to find, with time moving at a crawl, and generally having nothing to do but stalk your maid or summon her for some of the dullest sex scenes I've ever seen.
This game has been around for a long while, and the creator is getting FAR too much on Patrion. You think they could actually give it some actual GAMEPLAY.
*edit*
Two years later and little to nothing has changed. There is far more content, but still no actual game to go with it.
It's still the same aimless wandering simulator, moving from empty, pointless location to empty pointless location without any real rhyme or reason except hopefully stumble across a new scene you might have previously missed.
IMHO games like this are examples of everything wrong with Patrion adult games. There is no deadline, instead the author is encouraged to make low effort update after low effort update, adding superficial content to placate their fans while leaving the game shallow and empty...
Major shame too because Wanton Cove was actually a good game with a tight narrative, good game-play, and while it was also something of an wandering simulator, every location had a reason for being there and your exploration felt like it had a point rather than being aimless.
Double disappointing me because the premise hits me right in the Fetish...
Classic Patreon porn game scheme.
*edit*
Another year and still jack and shit.
From what I can gather the development process on this game works as follows.
Dev is either volunteer outsources or is paid to add quirky little fluff scenes, 99% of which are gated beyind a massive grind barrier in the form of being in the right place, at the right time, with the right love/fear/trust stat comination that 99% of players will never see because the only way to get the "Cheat" version that is locked behind the patrion wall, where you have to shovel money into the devs wallet so they can go nowhere, like shoveling coal into the firebox of a steam locomotive that is on a continuous loop track.
They need to stop adding fucking characters and finish the ones they have . Make generic sex scenes for all of them (yes, Virgina, you can do a little of your own writing), maybe by building them all on a single foundation template, add some goddamned keyboard shortcuts to cut on on the grind fest, actually work on the transformation content, and generally figure out a way to streamline the damned gameplay.
For example, rather than completely random events have them go off more often and have actual impact but be, I don't know, dependent on the character actually being in the fucking room and don't go off 35 times in a row. Perfect example is Mitsuko's photo. It's apparently the most important thing in the world to her but I've seen the "she dropped it" scene at least five times in a single day and returning it to her seems to have almost zero impact.
Basically, this is a shit game by a developer who really could do better, because they HAVE done better in the past. When given an actual focus and premise that requires tight construction they can do well... but as it is now this game is the poster child of terrible patron porn game, if you can actually call it a game, which is honestly debatable in its current state.
