I kind of wish the game talked more about Phil's grandfather and why he ran away from home. I know it was briefly talked about during his conversation with his fiancee, Emiko and when he was in the shower. I really like the song choices you made for each of the scenes, it helped improve the mood and the setting. A possible suggestion, I would like to see a gallery for the music you have in the game when it's done and maybe a scene gallery too. Whatever you decided, I liked the intro so far and Emiko is very pretty. Good luck.

Oh, yeah, the ending scene you talked about didn't happen for me. I don't know if the ending scene was Anne and the two girls standing in front of the door surprised to see me and then a door closed, and I'm back at the title scene.

A lot more emotionally charged than I was expecting, but it was handled pretty well.
Right now, the biggest strike against it is that the lyrics in the music during the sex scene were way too distracting. Though that may just be a 'me' thing.

There are many games being released this year and many of them promising like yours, I will keep an eye on the next updates.
The tip I give is to focus on a plot that captivates us, because the art is good. A well-developed and strong storyline doesn't need a lot of sex scenes right from the start. The example I give is Man of the house, which was one of the best games in my opinion, where the balance between the scenes and the story was perfect.
From here some updates we can give a better opinion, but it started well. Good luck with the project. :)

Shouldn't that be "fiancee" and "friends"? (Is "grandfather" ever defined in the game?)
e-d
Man, I did not understand what you meant. At all, hehehe, could you clarify it, please?

Haha, thanks for the heads-up! A ton of re-reads and re-writes later and mistakes like these still manage to sneak past me. hehehe

Credits never ran in my play through, so there was no after credits scene.

Some suggestions, but it is your story so please take with a grain of salt, unless they help.

In order:

Thanks, glad you liked it!

Funny thing is, I give the definition in a video right after the image suggesting headphones, I think people are skipping past it and past the credits as well. I have to think of a way to make it clearer that there is content on that screen.

No, it wouldn't spoil at all, I'll get right into it. I don't know about the girl's names though...

About the sex scene, this was a special case, as she was the one consoling the MC, Blargher got what I meant on that one. But thanks for the suggestion anyway, I'll keep that in mind.

As for the points you raised about Emiko and story development the whole situation will be a major driving force for the story on later chapters, however, I can't give more details right now as it would spoil things way too much. But you are right, I'm trying really hard to write stuff as to not back myself into a corner I can't get out later...

Hahaha, yeah maybe I'll have to re-write that... hehehe

A big part of the story going forward will revolve around MC relationship with his grandfather, father, Anna and the girls so you can rest assured there is way more story coming, hehe.

I'm really glad you liked the songs, they are a major consideration of mine when writing the scenes. I'm planning on adding a song gallery later, but right now, I have other things higher up on my to-do list. hehe

And yes, that was the after-credits scene, I really have to rework the credits.

A lot more emotionally charged than I was expecting, but it was handled pretty well.

Yup, that was what I was going for! Glad you liked it!

Hmmmmmmmm... I get what you said about the song, it might not bother me as much because I'm not a native speaker, so my brain sort of "tunes out" lyrics if I'm not paying attention, but I think I can adjust the volume as for it to not be as distracting.
