Chapter 2.1 is online.
This is really good work. I like the fact that:
  • you've thrust us straight into an interesting story without a ton of clunky exhibition;
  • the characters are well-crafted and distinctive;
  • the two main LIs seem true to the personalities you've created for them (focussing on the two of them also makes very good sense);
  • you've included a couple interesting male (non-LI) NPCs (although they are gay or older, making them non-threatening to the anti-NTR fanatics on this hellsite); and
  • the hot, well-executed sex scenes make sense in terms of the plot and characters... no strangers hop on the MC's dick without warning or reason.
If you stick with it this could be a great story-driven game. Please don't surrender to porn logic... there's no reason to charge straight into sexual options with the LI we don't know well. Let that relationship build organically, in a way that seems true, before introducing any options there.

Great work, so far. I think it's too early to give your game a proper rating/review, but it's on my list of most promising new entrants. If you can string together another couple chapters of similar quality, I'd be happy to lend financial support.

Just gave this one a try, and I like what I'm seeing!

You've nicely established a background and a potentially interesting story, and most characters we've met so far seem well-written and three-dimensional. Alex is sassy, witty and cool. Isabella is a blank slate damsel in distress so far, but I'm sure she'll get an actual personality in future chapters. Good luck with the game badtimetales :)

Pretty good start, Loved Alex not sure about Isabella yet, kinda looks like typical spoiled supermodel to me nothing special but always love a Mystery, a bit short at the moment but gets the point across, can't wait for more, and Dev can u please give us option to disable the autosave at end of chapters, dont want it to mess up my saves later in the game..

badtimetales Congratulations for this peace of art (in my opinion). The Renders are great, the Animations astoundly and the Story is exciting ! I really look forward to the next update (sadly in a few months, I presume ?) I hope the Quality of this Game goes not down with Time, better if we must longer wait and the Quality stays (or goes up) than the other way around...

Thanks a lot for the feedback, really appreciated!
I'm glad you like it.

I'm trying to tell a story, not to produce a porn movie :)
Even if I will loose a lot of players.

So I think you will like how the story will develop.

I like this game in general and it's story. It's convincing so far but I'm yet to finish this chapter.
I don't like that I'm in a sort of relationship with Alex. Plus, I don't like her, her hairstyle, her piercings, her appearance in general nor her attitude. She, and her relationship with the MC, makes it hard for me, In a Personal level, to stomach this VN. The story is what keeps me going since I'm more story focused than on lewd content. I consider abhorrent any VN that forces the MC to have relations without the players consent. This one makes it even worse by making the MC get into a relationship without the players consent. I'll try to soldier on but something's normally gives and I quit.

Thank you.

Thanks!

Isabella's personality will be shown in the next two updates. And Alex character will develop too.

A bit short? With 40-60 minutes gameplay?

Sorry, that was the first update. I really can't render faster with my ancient 2070 GPU :(

Will check if I can put in a switch.
But you can always delete the saves.
