The story is nice and streamlined. Good plot, I just wish that during the more serious talks, everyone would look each other in the eyes and furniture would stand straight. lol.

I think someone should change the main header picture, its looks so old and outdated that it would be better if he used the latest renders, this would attract more fans the only reason I didn't start this before was the first picture I saw and thought this was an old game with horrible renders and not worth it and was a copy of foot of the mountain.

Okay, just started playing this one ... I THINK I have a graphics problem? None of the search paramaters I tried found an answer, so I'll ask here:

Is there a fix for this? And if not, did the dev say anything about it? Just curious.

UPDATE: The images seem to fix themselves AFTER "The Call Girl"* arrives: The first frame after she shows up is still zoomed in, but after a fade out, the next frame looks normal.

*I keep using descriptions 'cause I changed a bunch of names, and don't remember the originals

in Windows there are settings called "Scale & layout" & "Advanced Scaling" (in display settings) that can cause images in some games to be overscaled, I've no idea it it would affect this game, but might be worth a look.

I get that, but everything was fine until this segment. Getting bikinis and lingerie with the lobster-accountant's sister looks fine; soon as you're leaving home that Friday, the daughter's heads are cut off from apparently zoomed-in images and it continues from there. I haven't got past the segment to find out if its restored after, but scrolling back and forth doesn't change anything, so it doesn't seem to be a Windows thing.

UPDATE: I did reach the end of the apparent zoomed images, so its definitely an in-game issue of some kind.

which version are you playing? I don't remember seeing anything like that (though tbh it's been a while). If it's in a compressed version perhaps the compressor made an error with some of the settings.
I guess either way there is a decent chance it'll be fixed in the next version since it doesn't seem to be an OS issue.

I just downloaded .34 last week. Pretty sure it was the full version. Probably Gofile

Hey Elhemeer, glad you found this game. I've been playing it for years. It's a fun one. Lighthearted for the most part but with a few random heartfelt, eye dampening moments sprinkled around, which is fine. Not really anything overtly dark(sinister) or sorrowful, which makes it a nice counterpoint to some other, heavier, games(emotionally speaking). I had thought about recomending it to you beffore but wasn't sure if it was your style. Hope you enjoy it. Nefastus is doing a great job with it.

Found another strange moment, and wondering if this would be different without the mod or if it's error in the original.

First visit to Kyle's after his wife came to the office and "proposed" -- I chose MFF w/wife, and everything proceeded as one would expect until Kyle showed up, then it was as if wife was never there. I drive home alone and find her in bed out cold with her little helper. Then she wakes up and talks like she wasn't there.

EDIT: Never mind, seems to be a flaw in the mod (offers option to see all possible scenes, but I didn't choose that. Looks like I'm getting all possible endings regardless.)

I have to recheck the official F95 rules, but I don't know if mentioning aspects (like best girls and narrative paths), not progress, about MLC on Discord counts, but last day he made any sort of progress update was back on December 8th on Patreon... so that dream/nightmare might come true on Friday.

6 months from dev being last active on any platform or 18 months from last version update no matter dev activity

it's only been 3 months since last activity, and yeah, unfortunately it's just how Nef is - going dark for months, zero communication and no real schedule

3 months, not 6.
  • After 3 months of inactivity from the developer's public creator/crowdfunding accounts (Patreon, SS, etc), we will resolve special circumstances or scenarios on a case-by-case basis (no creator accounts, creators developing for free, Patreon accounts under review/ban).

But if no one reports the first post to request the flag, staff isn't going to apply it unless they think about it. It's not automatic. Also, the flag means little except to people with an "abandoned?" fetish. It doesn't defund a developer's subscription platform, it doesn't cancel their discord server, it doesn't ping Musk to remove their Xitter, and it doesn't change what a developer is/isn't doing (unless the flag on one site actually means something to them).

they changed it again? with just 3 months it will be complete mess with abandoned games everywhere, not every dev good at keeping in check and development itself takes time
fucking "we make changes that we genuinely believe will make the forum better" my ass, they not even trying anymore...
