This is just a follow up to my previous post
here ( about
v0.42f ). So, I've skip a few updates and here I am with feedbacks for
v0.47f. Overall, there had been massive overhaul to the game that tremendeously improve the VN experience for players ( at least to me ). The stories and contents remain unchanged and that's cool. Well done and well implemented. Kudos

Most notable changes and improvement to the game:
1. Clear groupings of the stories and contents.
I remember vaguely that it used to be all the stories are listed in the game start screen, that some texts are off the screen. Now, the contents are grouped into
Chapters,
Special Lewd Scenes and
Between Marlowe and Mysterious Erotic Theater.
| Group | Description |
|---|
| Chapters | Chapter 1: Too many things to do ( 7 episodes ) and Chapter 2: Trip to the Someville ( 1 episode ) |
| Special Lewds Scenes | Mostly parodies and short scenes not canonically important to the plot. |
| Between Marlowe and Mysterious Erotic Theater | Most likely contents that share common characters or are related to both games, or maybe just another Cat's lewd stories. |
*Note that some stories are only available to patrons, which usually will be available in the Public release some updates later.
The story/plot is now much easier to understand.
2. 'Streamline' stories.
If not mistaken Case#1 the Cuckold Club used to be 2 or 3 short stories previously and they are now combined into the first episode. Players can choose to see a variation of the 'cuck' scenes, motel vs car ride. I think some other stories had minor tweaks as well when they were made into the episodes of Chapter 1.
3. Seamless flow or navigation.
Game used to end and boots the players to the main menu at the end of each stories. Now, it is no longer the case and players are presented with a choice to continue with the next episode or not ( bring the player back to game start screen described above in point #1 ). Very good
.
4. Narrator/Speaker.
The narrator or speaker is now easily identified and distinguishable between actual speaking or narrating. The font is nice too.
5. Sound Effects.
The game might had sound effects even on earlier version but I did not noticed it before. However, I noticed it in the latest episode ( Chapter 1 Episode 7 ).
On a different note, I was thinking if this game eligible for the necrophilia tags for episode 6 Silent Hill Dentistry contents? Is zombie a corpse or monster
? But nevermind, it is not a big deal anyway.
All that being said, things are looking up for this game. Godspeed,
ShamanLab!
