Why isnt this game getting the recognition? I think its the second best college vn, and i just found it. This has what i like humor, renders, writing and amazing sense of sound effects and music.

I just finished chapter 1 which was off the hook

edit: oh it was a remake. Dev need to have faith, its a great game

I pretty much do 0 advertising. Aside from a cross promo and an IG post, I'm a bit reluctant to advertise till I get ch2 reworked. I'm to blame for the lack of recognition.
Thank you for the kind words and for playing. I'll try putting out an android build for Act 2 but I'm under the impression that I'm likely going to reach the apk size limit.

you could still promote it on reddit, AVNLovers sub is pretty popular and costs you nothing, could get some new players from there. I just replayed the game today and honestly while the quality dip is visible, it didn't bother me much.

I tried Reddit at first but hadn't found much success there. I'll try it again once I post the update.
The quality may not bother you but it definitely bruises the hell out of my ego.

yeah it can be a hit or miss, timing can also be an issue, but just using myself as an example, I'm just a lurker there, don't really comment or upvote stuff, but still came across many titles promoted there for the first time. I see many devs posting special renders, new releases etc there, and even if there is not much feedback, people will see it.

It'll be mid game.
Hopefully my guy has some bad swimmers.. because this can make for some hilarious drama and writing


my only complaints with this vn is the banner at the download page, it honestly dont look that great and doesnt show what a masterpiece this is

This game certainly has quite a lot of promise, but it's severely lacking in direction. It's crazy for a game to be almost 2 years old and not actually have a true focus on any LIs. Everytime a LI starts to get some shine she's promptly shuffled off to the shadow realm, then the MC decides to leave for an entire month about half a week after he decides that he can actually talk to his peers again, which then magically transforms into 2 months, at some point. The Mom baiting is also more than a little obnoxious. You clearly spent a lot of time and effort to get the Mom to look as good as she does, you even put her right in the middle of the banner, which is typically where the main LI of a game goes, but then you say she's not a LI, despite including incest with the sister (or at least planning it). It's utterly schizophrenic game design.

Also, the MC seems to be the absolute king of rebounds and sloppy seconds.

I do have to say the quality of the renders in the chapter 1 remake is insanely good would be cool if all the new chapters going forward looked like that.

They will, it's the style I'll keep going till the end. Here're a few previews

Currently addressing a lot of those issues. Noticed them myself too.
When I started off, I was confused whether to appease to the harem/sexual side more or the story-first.
Now the vision is clear and you'll notice it in upcoming updates/chapters.

In regards to mother, that's not her in the banner. It's an old render of the sister that was just sitting around so I used it for convenience sake. And yes, the mother is still off of the table.

Holy shit you went full super saiyan with the new renders those look absolutely amazing, I now know I have nothing to worry about the quality is amazing huge props to you for improving so much in so little time.

Also love that third render the MC silly face is so good now I am super itching to replay the whole game again, as soon as a new update drops I will try to promote it as much as I can on reddit and other places this AVN deserves way more recognition.

Speaking as a representative for the harem side, there's a big difference between harem games and fuck fests, even though there is quite a bit of overlap. Harem vs Story isn't a true dichotomy, or at least it shouldn't be. The best example of this is a game like Eternum. The problem is that most devs are not actually good writers, so they lean more towards the sexual side, which can certainly be fun, but is often lacking in substance. In my estimation, one of the biggest tells for whether or not a dev is a competent writer is actually the MC, the amount of detail put into making the MC an actual character without just having him be a bumbling idiot or colossal wimp is often what separates the wheat from the chaff, which I think is one of your game's strongest points.

A true harem is exactly why I was undecided. I recognised the work it took and the contentions the women would've had with MC practicing it. I never had intentions to do a simple fuck-fest, that requires a different type of story/worldbuilding than what I want.
It's why I've been building one girl at a time so they can at least showcase their personalities and give the players an idea of who they want to choose. After this update comes out, I'll be putting out a poll to get a sense of where the players are at and move accordingly.

I'm now at a point where after this update, I've got more than enough women to work. So moving forward, there very likely won't be any more women introduced.
