Brace science stuff: moving a damaged knee is not about hormones. It's about how the person's weight+load goes through the damaged components. A traditional brace helps by redirecting some of the load through the brace and thus around the damaged stuff. I get that the hormones thing is an excuse for him to get laid, but I feel like the knee brace should, first and foremost, be a knee brace, and maybe the hormones help it predict the MC's body's movement better, and thus give more confidence for directing its power. At that point though, as Tony Stark points out, it's bordering on being a high-tech-prosthesis. Just a thought.

Overall, (even though 80% of what I wrote is about flaws) this is a good game, and I'm looking forward to future updates.
A slight rebuttal: The brace IS fantasy/sci-fi, not "enhanced science" that needs to be backed up by modern science.

The knee was determined unfixable by modern medicine: the brace gives minimal support, but it's main function is to take the positive hormones/pheromones/juju that flows through the blood, convert it into magical tendon/muscle/bones/cartlige/etc., and REPAIR the knee. That's it's primary intended function. It's not anything near a "traditional" brace and it's not supposed to be.

As for the power source ... did you see all those space rocks?

Just finished the chap 3 ; I must say it feels real good to see the girls again.
They are all amazing in their own way, their refined design is great too.
Really awesome moments :
Layla and the arcade, and also we had a glimpse of her true feelings. I wonder what is that palpitation if not romance tho...
Rylee, our favorite redhead ninja and her overbearing mom
Chrysta and her hate-hate relationship with MC
Even Gemma and Xia could shine, here


Great update and nice mystery.

I'm sorry if my bros seemed a little aggressive or angry or disrespectful ; they are none of those things. They are engaged in a story and when a girl can't be rejected completetly, it triggers a red flag we saw plenty of in VNs with fake choices.
Not the case in Matrix Hearts, the romance is optional but the friendship is not and that's awesome.
So I hope you weren't hurt or pissed.
Love your game and can't wait for chapter 4.

The brace IS fantasy/sci-fi, not "enhanced science"
I guess, but I guess I'm just not a fan of hand-wavey psuedo-magical pseudo-science in general. I went through the conversation again, and I feel like it sits in the awkward middle between "basically magic" and "extrapolated science". I would have rather the conversation been: MC: "How does it work?" Layla: "Magic!" MC: "OK." Layla: "Well, not actually, but you'd need a PHD or two to actually understand it. Basically, it will gradually help you heal beyond the natural capabilities of your body, and it will go faster the happier you are. And also the more you get laid." MC: "So now I can get laid for science?" Layla: "Just don't do it on my couch, OK?"

As for the power source ... did you see all those space rocks?
Actually, I can only think of one. But space rocks aren't actually magic. They're just... rocks. But the basic physics of energy density mean that only nuclear energy could power a glowing brace for more than a few days without needing a recharge. Anyway, I'll stop being a pedant now. For now.

Steam and public builds should be roughly the same in terms of content. Some minor content as well as Steam achievements (naturally) are/will be Steam exclusives.

As of current, they are matched on the story. (So I've been told. I'm downloading the Steam build to be sure.)


This one confused me as well. Otter told me that Steam will be getting future content updates. I think that means he'll be releasing Steam and public in-line (or mostly in-line) with each other, but it could mean that Steam will slip behind for a while until a new "Season" is complete.
I personally recommend the Patreon if you definitely want the latest build.

The branding of "Season One" hasn't ever been made especially clear to me and I do not know if it will receive future content updates. If it does, it is a great purchase. If it does not, well, you're only paying for what's there now.

However, Otter has been steadfast on giving the Patrons what they're paying for, and I can guarantee you that you'll always get the latest updates there.


Edit: If you don't care about future updates, and only want what's best today, I was told (though I must admit I haven't played the version to confirm) that the Itch/Steam "Season One" build contains extra content. IIRC, it has a bit extra in the point spheres, and in a future update it should get "ZippyApp Integration," whatever that is (in-game phone, probably).

Edit 2: After speaking with Otter, the Steam release will receive future content. It is not something such as Being a Dik or Life is Strange where there will be several purchases to complete the story.

Edit 3 (2023-07-25): I have to retract and correct my second edit. I have now been told that Matrix Hearts on Steam is releasing each "Season" (a batch of 3 Chapters at a time) as separate purchases. I am sorry if I confused anyone. This post will be edited linking to a full explanation shortly.
I've had to correct this far too many times than is reasonable. After talking with Otter, here is the latest correction on how Steam is being handled:



Steam's future content will be released in bundles as Seasons. Each Season is made of up 3 Chapters and is considered story complete. That is to say, when you buy the game on Steam, you get the story content that is in it at the time, but will not receive future story content (such as the upcoming Chapter 4) for free.

Season 1 (Chapters 1-3) exists on Steam currently. Season 2 (Chapters 4-6) will exist on Steam when those are complete and will be a separate purchase (existing owners will get a discount but it will not be free).

I do not know nor am I interested in knowing the expected total price of the full game on Steam.



I am not happy that I was made to believe and say the wrong thing, and I apologize to anyone who may have purchased the game as a result of me stating that you should receive free future content updates. If you have further questions regarding this, please do reply to this thread with them, but I'll be leaving it to Blue Otter Games to answer them.

We aren't going to make a full 40 hour game that is a one time purchase. We never said that. Please see Being a Dik and other likewise games on Steam. They release Season 1 and add the other Seasons as DLC to the game.

Would we like to make everything free for everyone? Yes. The reality is this is not cheap to make. Making this game is now a passion and a career, and in order to keep making them, a profit is kind of required.

That being said, the plan is to treat any Otter who has purchased season 1 with a nice, juicy discount for purchasing the new Seasons, and it adds on to the game you currently purchased in Steam. This was always the plan and we never mentioned anything otherwise to anyone.

Blue Otter Games You should totally go back and check out some renders in Season 1. I have found an inconsistency.

Here it is

I am enjoying being a bitch to everyone lol I just hope I don't get a random (game over) if my "Matrix Hearts" meter goes down and ends up empty. There should be other ways to raise it up, instead of needing "friendship" for it.

I too noticed the issue here where the book randomly disappears and not her clothing-

sorry, it's a running gag at this point that I'm thirsty for Rylee. It's not a gag though, I want Rylee

Missing a render in Chapter 3. This is on my (be a bitch/don't get close) to everyone route. I have another save for "picking the right choices" just to get achievements.

Anyways, the missing render is after we meet up with Layla to go home.

Another missing render while talking with Chrysta (playing the Steam release)

Overview:
He was supposed to be somebody. He was going to be a contender! Then he took a rock climbing wall to the knee. A would-be Olympic climber sustains an injury to his leg that keeps him from competing and a shot at the big leagues, with the only possible fix being a prototype technology that is sci-fi at best. Between his new introverted mood, a town of colorful characters, and the fruits of temptation, getting this tech to work may require all he's got. There's a big cliff to climb for him to be a champion again!​

Don't play this game. You won't like it. Go find something that caters to incels, or redpillers, or whatever other weird-ass nonsense you clearly believe in. As someone who has actually had sex, I want you to know that the things you appear to value are absolutely meaningless, and no woman is ever going to willingly touch you if you continue to behave as if those things are important. Unless you lie to her, or you pay her, or both. Even then I'm not convinced.

To reiterate: this is not the game for you. You will not enjoy it.

Source: Originial post (slightly modified) from another answer you got to the exactly same question. The same belongs to this game and the answer was the friendliest way. I couldn't say it as friendly as Storm ⛈ , so I just copied it.

thank you for answering
You're welcome.

I don't know what to say about this game. Sometimes I'm thinking I'll quit because the scenes are too long with too much talking. A little after that I'm laughing at all the craziness that goes on and can't stop clicking to get next render so I can enjoy what happens there. And the idea of quitting this game is far from my head. Luckily, it's most of the second, that's why I'm still here. So I would say somewhere behind 4-5 * as the so much else like renders and and other stuff are so good.

I do love all the beautiful LIs and glad that I will have the opportunity to enjoy them all. I hate to choose!!!! o_O:LOL: Another reason why I love the game.
