I tried playing this game but didn't think it was very good, despite having a ton of potential and good production values. There's way too many stats to juggle between and consider trade-offs for (legitimacy! laundry! cleanliness! food! portal level! love! obedience! mood! three population levels! defense!), and it seemed really easy to end up in a "dead end" early in the game, with your maids burnt out and the laundry piling up. That's what happened to me maybe two weeks in and I quit because it didn't seem recoverable, and all the maids hated me with no developing storylines and barely a reluctant HJ scene.

Progress feels agonizing - only 3 points of relationship gain per turn, and you need 50+ across two dimensions - for 4 separate characters - for things to really get going. 3 * 50 * 4 is 600 in-game days, two years, of game progress, to become king of the castle. I know you can improve this via training and construction, and it's likely these things accelerate, but I felt there were so many other stats to juggle between, I didn't know how to prioritize and it doesn't feel enjoyable or casual to play the game.

Funnily enough, I'm a huge fan of free cities, I don't quite understand why that game is so enjoyable and this one is so painful. It might come down to pacing and engagement.

Great game cant wait for more. But man if i looked that correctly game is 3 years in development and you get 5h of content half of that looks like sketchs or artwork. Basiclly i dont care about that if the game was completed but its not. I will be in my 30's when half of the games up here will be complete and half will be abandon.

I dont know how xd
If you are afraid of using a file sharing site that requires a login there are anonymous sites where the data just expires after a while. I personally like Desu since I know who the owner is and their stance on privacy.

Desu expires after 24 hours and has a 15gb limit.


Gofile is another popular choice (you can see links to it in the OP) that doesn't require an account and the free option keeps the data for 7 days of inactivity or 30 days for files larger than 100MB.


Just upload whatever you need to as a zip file.

Warning: The steam version is going to be a long stable version update cycle.

The latest updates will be on subscribestar and every ~3 months or so all of that content that is bug-tested and stable will then be rolled into a large steam update so for this page you need to only post the subscribestar version so we get the latest builds with fresh new scenes instead of waiting months for all of that content to then be put out on steam.

Remember: SubscribeStar game build updates ONLY. If you use steam you will be several months behind on content going forward.

With that price point i expected that will be the case.
