Overview:
Kimberly Owens is a hard working 18 year old girl struggling to make ends meet. Her mother’s drinking habits, coupled with Kimberly never having met her father, have forced her into being responsible for her families rent, food, and daily care. Between trying to balance school, taking care of her sick mother, and practically raising her young half-brother, she finds it hard to maintain a job or do school work.​

Episode 1 preview update. I am at 180 images as of now. I am wrapping up the last couple scenes that will foreshadow the next episode. I really hope you guys/girls like the characters I have created. I am leaning on the character development and I feel like I am doing a good job with giving them different personalities.

When I release the first episode it will go directly to the public. But then I will go back to my normal release to public a week after it is released to the top tier patrons.

May the Schwartz be with you!

question: will this game be a sandbox game instead of a vn? like the game "Pilgrimage" by Messman? it would be fun and goodluck

The ending was so abrupt and out of nowhere...
It all escalated very fast and then it was over. Would have been interesting to see what the day at the clothes shop was supposed to be.

I imagine something happened and he had to finish the game, I'm not upset about the happy ending, it's more how weird and sudden it all was. Also, if you want to make it a happy ending, some of those guys should have ended up in prison. I mean, I can understand her being young and stupid and falling for the blackmail but her father, a lawyer could have easily put them in jail.

Nobody asked what was going to happen at the clothes shop. The plan was, Kimberly was going to model skimpy outfits for customers. Each customer who bought something would get the chance to have a private "photo" with Kim. The private photo was actually sex. The owner Pete was going to tell Kim that he spins a wheel on the computer for each client, and it would say winner or loser. But in reality there was no wheel. Pete was just picking the people she would have sex with...the old, fat, and ugly. It was going to be at least 7 men and one of them was going to be Grandpa Elmer.

The ending was so sudden because I needed to get out of that type of game. I started to feel horrible about showing someone be treated so badly...manipulated and blackmailed...I had to get out. I literally was sick to my stomach. I know you will ask "why did I start it then". Well when I started I felt differently about all of it. But people change. Yes I could have shown some of them going to prison, but to me just showing that she got out and lived happily was enough to suffice what I did to her in the first place.

I can totally understand your reasoning behind stopping the development. For me it felt very out there and very fast anyways. I skipped over the story if it got too brutal and imagined a softer version. For me, it would have been better if it was a slower burn type of deal with less rape stuff and more on the not so brutal side. For example the whole clothes shop just the pictures and maybe some modelling skimpy outfits without any sex/rape. That's why I felt the club scene with the homeless and everyone else also felt too much. I usually enjoy corruption and some blackmail but not to this extent. I like it when the blackmail leads to corruption and the woman start to enjoy it while at the same time feeling guilty about it or something, before she totally embraces who she is becoming.
Maybe your next game could be more in that direction, unless you are totally turned off from this type of content and go in a different direction all together. Also having all characters old or ugly is not my cup of tea, maybe it could be a mix or something next time.

Regarding the going to prison thing, for me it was more in the same idea that what they did to her was so horrible (Finn and her grandpa the most) that I would have liked seeing them pay for it but I can understand just wanting to finish it and be done.

Cheers and hope to see and play your next game!

I already have a new game out. Space Cadettes. It is on the lines of what you are talking about. The girls know sexual stuff is part of their missions, part of their jobs to win the war.
