Interesting game, seeing some shades of Netorare Survival Z in how you get info on what’s happening
The GF is super hot
The scenario is really hot
My issue with the game is as someone else mentioned, I feel like I don't have any frame of reference for the MC and GF's relationship. It feels more like the villain is stealing my sister than my girlfriend. For instance, why has the MC not initiated sex at all? For months? It's a step too far for believability. Not to mention that it seems like they never interact at all without the villain present or mentioned.
I love the GF tracker but I wasn't a fan of seeing the new sex interactions pop up. It makes it into a "check the tracker to see the new thing they did" situation instead of "check the tracker to see the things they MAY have done without you knowing" which is a slim difference but a huge one for me. It's the surprise of "WHAT?! When did she give him a handjob?! WTF!" that makes it nerve wracking to open the tracking app IMO. To facilitate that, there would have to be more actual working/flirting scenes. Once the sexual stuff really kicks off it seems all they do all day every day is blowjobs handjobs or kissing. It's a porn game, and thats the main sex delivery mechanism, so I get it, but it makes it an overload of the porn scenario instead of the gradual corruption that I personally think is hotter.
Not a fan of the sex-crazy drugs idea either, but I get it's a kink people have so thats a wash for me. Not sure about revealing the villain as a sex crazed manipulator right off the bat with his inner monologue. Yes, as players of the game we know where it's going. But some subtlety goes a long way. Instead of instantly knowing this guy is a pos stealing my girl, it'd be more interesting to see him as a fellow stranded wanderer working in a desparate situation with us when things go out of control.
All this is to say, I was really impressed with the game especially as a first time dev. I enjoyed it, the sexy parts were hot, I felt the dread necessary for this kind of game to function properly. I look forward to see it develop and your projects in the future.

I second all of this lol, even down to the feeling like a sister part -- was thinking that too, but maybe MC just really feels tired...
Though realistically would have definitely been more forceful at somepoint I think

The only shortcoming of this game is short. Excluding that, modelling, scenario, pace of progress... everything is really good!
This could be solved easily: more drugs! (DON't do drugs kids) Seriously though, putting something in the Boyfriend's food to deaden his arousal or willpower in some way would be a good solution to this.
Isn't that basically already the explanation though, girlfriend crashes so hard from the drugs she's unconscious by the time you get back, though some of the events she seems to be awake in the evening (no drugs that day?). Though ngl, it would be a little hot if there was a small bit where the creeper gave her some supplements laced with an impotence drug, and suggested she mix them in to your lunches.

This gets bunches of errors on linux and possibly on android and apple because for some reason the `/` is removed from the beginning turning it into a relative path.

Agree with many suggestions here. Need more development on MC and GF relationship so that the NTR is more impactful.
Slightly less grind with more variation in the dialogue. And maybe more choices so that the story feels less linear and kinetic?

There's plenty of repeat dialogue and scenes. Replaying the same scene over and over again is a grind.
