Looks interesting... an ero-horror story... uhh

 

[Biomacchia]

Hi, Biomacchia can you fix the link? seems like the link for linux and mac is the same link as windows...
I will move your game into the game section but without the mac and linux, and if you want to update it just make another ticket

Hello! The link for the mac and linux versions was the same as the windows one because they all work interchangeably, so I followed the template provided.
There's no need to change it, I think, but the game is also compatible with different OSs if people want to try it out.

I got a bad end for giving too many correct answers, so I replayed and and got another bad end, this time for giving too many incorrect answers. Guess that's all from me.

The ending you reached was in fact the true ending, and the hook to the next chapter that's already in production. Despite the somber tone, you must have noticed there's a hint of a "time loop" at the very end. The goal from here on out will be to prevent what you saw happen to take place.

I think that's more a question of how the game was supposed to be at the start, there's a lot of game that are softcore because they where created as softcore and that's fine, but sometimes, games (and content in general) just feel like a supposed "hardcore" sex game where the team just didn't take the leap and that's kind of fustrating.

Yes, I do understand that concern, in fact several other replies on the thread share the same sentiment. While I do understand that this forum in particular is more suited to games with explicit sexual content, I think there's a place for games with a larger focus on the teasing aspect of erotic content than outright penis in vagina.

At the begginning while writing the story, I considered making it fully sexual but I soon tired of rehashing sex scenes that any 3D porn could fulfill miles better, and found that it was more fun to explore different kinks along with a comedic tone.

How many "sexy" scenes are there? I only did one playthrough and got what I suppose is the bad ending for too many correct answers and I got all the scenes in the OP.
Also the impression I got is that the timeframe of the story is a bit too short for having a build up for other stuff. I hope other routes allow for the story to last longer.

For the first chapter, I'd say 6, going by unique CG. As for the time-frame please refer to what I mentioned above about the loop.
Interestingly, seeing the reaction to the ending, I suppose I could've made the writing clearer on that part.

Ah, so it's supposed to be like Higurashi, where each chapter cover the same span of time but the events have slightly variations focusing on different characters each time?
Also, can I ask what kind of ecchi content do you want to implement in the game? If intercourse is out whatshould we expect? Kisses? Exposes nipples? Oral sex? Please let there be some spooky tentacle or monster action fondling the ladies if they cannot slither inside.

Exactly, kinda like higurashi, yes.

As for the content, I'm in fact taking suggestions for what people want to see on a game like this. All of what you mentioned (except oral sex, since no genitals, but I have something very similar planned) are already making it in for the next chapter. A lot of people suggested similar things like deep kissing, topless nudity, groping and simulated blowjobs. Those are all ok in my book. I also mentioned it on the twitter, but someone wanted an erotic hand-holding scene (kind of as a meme, but I thought it could be funny) and I finished writing it a couple days ago.



So if anyone has suggestions of kinky scenes, I'll consider adding it in if I find a fit for it in the story.

 

[Disco-Inferno]

Had a look through images.rpa to determine whether or not I've hit the end of this version's content and yeah thats it so far, the sexiest it gets is the skirt pull (Which is fine for me, I love that kind of stuff!). Content amount is a little disappointing currently though... There's plenty of room for more ecchi CG amongst the current dialogue and scenes e.g. The tickling scene could have gone further and had Sol actually get down to her privates and pulling up her skirt. That said, I am looking forward to see what other erotic situations you'll bring into this though and the story is interesting. Just hope you that you will include full frontal nudity as that still falls under softcore. Good luck to you! Hope the game continues to develop.

EDIT: Shame that you won't be showing genitals (Even if they're not being sexually stimulated?) e.g. underwear being pulled down alongside the skirt would be pretty hot! As for suggestions, upskirts are always welcome, 3 of the girls are wearing skirts so don't waste that potential! Wetting oneself in these kinds of situations always goes along with horror and is kinky when shown properly. Nude/in underwear tickling while restrained is great! Definitely would like to see some booba, butts and vagina (I know what you said about genitals but maybe you'll change your mind down the line). A little femdom could work well if there's possession involved, like pinning down with a forced (simulated) handjob. Spanking would be very welcome as well , for example when protag gets a puzzle answer wrong girl gets punished in varying degrees for each wrong answer. (over skirt, over underwear, underwear pulled down). Could even do it so it happens for each right answer, like making the protag feel guilty even though it needs to be done to progress while the player still gets to see content.

Can probably come up with more but those are main things i'd like to see.

 

[Mister_M]

you must have noticed there's a hint of a "time loop" at the very end

I did notice it, but then I also got info that I've reached a particular ending and after that I was thrown back to main menu, so because of that I thought that I did smth wrong.

Also, I didn't really have any kinky scenes (not counting falling Arthur and Sol's tickling), which I know aren't the focus here, but since I've downloaded the game from this forum I assumed there'll be some, so that also made me think maybe I've missed some chunk of content. I liked that we could comment on girl's feet when looking at a photo btw. I wouldn't mind more content with feet obviously, but also some more romantic moments (the nice handholding is indeed not a bad idea). I like "Lucia" already so I'm looking forward to some scenes with her.

 

[Ijsmann]

So just to throw out my 2 cents here: like most of the other comments already said, it's sort of saddening to see such potential halfwayed so that it stands awkwardly in between too "states" (non-explicit - explicit).

Maybe as a possible solution, which at least would work out for me which doesn't say that much, would be to have full nudity on both ends /male and female/ and have the characters be in awkard/funny/erotic situations, where they are temporarily fully nude or you can see those parts we all came for and still it doesn't need to end up in intercourse or anything like that. I never got the concept of Ecchi: "You can depict breasts but vaginas and penises... no no no, those are forbidden". It's weird to say in on a forum like this, but in a way it is quite backwards-minded and has a lot to do with western religion/culture.

Vaginas and penises are nothing too wild but it would be a shame imho to pass out on those as this is supposed to be played to arouse and not simply for the entertainment of solving a mystery (at least I guess it is meant to be regarded that way).

To be frank I would absolutely adore a game which doesn't rush towards sex or hell doesn't incluce it at all but isn't limited to nipples and panties. Softcore can still include seeing everything in it's natural beaty - it simply excludes gangbangs/bukkake and other fetishes which can be found literally anywhere on this site.

So to sum it up: Gib vagene, gib tiddies, show some genitals and yet let us use our fantasy. Maybe the teacher slips again and hear panties tear and you get a nice angle at what's underneath. Everyone is embarassed but - unlike most other games - she doesn't say "fuck it" in a literal sense and gets her brains banged out. Instead everyone - especially the main character - has their share of lustful/awkward thoughts and no sex or bang or shag or any of that was required.

Feel free to see it differently, however I'd love to see this game use all its potential and still keep it "classy" to a degree. This would mean no blue balls for the players and still softcore for the developer which from my vista seems to be a good middle ground.

Now I've written this in way more detail than I initially indended to so pardon me and if you agree you can like or comment, maybe some of it will catch on.

Really great concept and game nonetheless, no doubt about that. It's your beaty - of course you can do as you please.

Interesting suggestions! I specially like the spanking scenario you mentioned, that could definitely work alongside a puzzle!
I'll mark it down for one of the investigation routes I'll be writing soon.
The only thing I'm not 100% on is omorashi, or wetting oneself. It was a very iconic scene on some of the Corpse Party games, but I wonder if that won't put some people off. I'll certainly keep it in mind though.

I did notice it, but then I also got info that I've reached a particular ending and after that I was thrown back to main menu, so because of that I thought that I did smth wrong.

Yes, one of the things I noticed, and the feedback reinforced, is that the scenes could've been longer and more detailed. I think their brevity contributed to people feeling they needed more from the game. It's definitively something I'll address for the next chapter.
As for the foot fetish content, that's my own personal main fetish, so I was reticent to add too much of it and drown out the others. It's good the reaction to them was positive, that means I can write more of itm in the future haha

Thanks for the detailed feedback. For most creators, those are the kinds of reviews that help the most, don't worry about it.
Particularly, the reason for my choice to veto depiction of genitals doesn't come from any kind of moral standpoint or anything that complex.

I simply find it more erotic to show sexuality in alternative ways. I do agree the game can be "sexier" in the conventional sense, and that'll be addressed going forward, however there's a line that I won't cross to maintain the artistic vision I hold for this project. That line is drawn at genitals and explicit sex, but anything under that is fair game.

I ported this game to android, if u have any errors lmk

realy interesting, i will give it a try when it has more content, or its playable rn ?

 

[jams666]

Arts really nice, hope sexual content gets added...

 

[bobrown]

The game is really interesting so far. I'm excited to see how in depth the evidence system will be. My favorite parts of mystery VNs are figuring out things myself. Foot fetish content is also nice to see, but I was really happy that there was some sweat and armpit stuff as well. Both are kind of underused fetishes in porn games imo. The art style was also very nice. It kind of reminds me of World of Horror with more color. Good luck to the dev!

While I'm a fan of nudity for the sake of it and having some exposed junk is always nice (especially if it's the bush of some cute girl) I think the "never explicit nudity shown" would make the ero-horror aspect easier to pull off.
Like you might have guessed I'm a huge fan of monster fucking and I think you could have really tense erotic scenes because nothing is explicit.
The fact we're never shown anything let the reader's imagination do all the work and allows flexibility so that everyone can have their cake and eat it too.
Like for example, let's say a scene where a giant spider catch one of the girls. In a proper hentai game you would have a whole bestiality sequence that could be a huge turn off for certain players, but in a game like this you can focus on the expression of the girl, the fear, the anxiety, the blush on her cheeks as the creature lift her skirt and have her lower body be out of sight, maybe describing the reaction of the protagonist watching one of his friends getting manhandled by such a creature, but never stating if it's just webbing her up to eat her later or if it's pulling down her panties to fuck her.
The scene could end with the other characters intervening, killing/scaring away the beast and the poor girl thanking the protagonist. We're shown a last shot of her panties/thighs with some webs and juices over them, unable to tell if it's sweat, melted web or another kind...

It's playable, yes. The game currently clocks around ~2hs for a standard playthrough, with more chapters to come in the future.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. World of Horror was indeed one of the inspirations I used to design de UI.

That actually sounds like a really nice scene! It's good too, because one of the suggestions I got elsewhere involved slime/sticky substances. It could also suggestively imply semen. I'm not the best at designing monsters (spider with tits is the best I can do) but that kind of scenario definitively fits. I'll think of a way to include a monstergirl in the story, the seems to be a favorite with some niches.

[itthatbetrays]

I'll think of a way to include a monstergirl in the story, the seems to be a favorite with some niches.

If you ends up adding slimes, tentacles and similar monsters I would suggest to use some youkai-based designs and to keep them pretty animalistic/monstrous, so that they add to the creepy-unsettling feeling of ero-horror, but I'm biased because in my ero-horror writings the monsters are usually on the feral side, so stuff like monster animals, tentacle creatures and giant bugs.
Monstergirls are surely an hit, but I think most people here want to fuck them, lol
But a monster girl catching one of the ladies could lead to some sapphic moments. Or maybe our favorite chubby boy could be allured by some nakey bits before realizing that they're attached to something out of his comfort zone.

 

[iDiocy_49]

i'm really into occult stuff, and the first time i saw this world of horror is what first come to my mind, instantly try the game and i must say really impressed to what's in store in the future, folklore horror is the rarely horror genre that under appreciated and yet unsettling if i may say it's kinda cosmic horror but more grounded and relatable if you live in asia since superstition is still a common sense for most of elder people, really looking forward to next chapter just to see what kind of twist will be unfold.


really a great job, and thank you for letting us playing it.

I'm happy you're liking it so far!

Indeed, you're totally right about folkloric horror. I feel the effectiveness comes from being so relatable to our day to day lives. It's also much more believable to hear something from a family member like your grandmother or an old neighbour than from impersonal media like a horror movie. I'd say that's sadly something that's fading from countries like the US, especially the paranormal kind, but it's definitively very much alive in other cultures.

The "pisadeira" story the game starts with, for example, and the idea that ghosts will pull your feet when you're sleeping is something I was told as a child. Of course, the licking was an exaggeration to give the scene a kinky edge lol.

 

[justanotherguy1]

when I came across this I instantly knew I wasn't going to fap but installed it anyway. I was really impressed with what I saw - I'm a real sucker for these kinds of graphics, especially combined with occult themes (ahem WoH ahem ahem), and I really enjoyed the characters and the story (something that WoH lacks, albeit making up for it with gameplay). That being said, I can't say I'm interested in this as an ero-game at this point in time (future stuff seems promising), but I am definitely on board for the plot, the art and the occult. I guess it's just my duality - if I'm interested in the real thing my horny energy goes away and I kinda don't care about anything like that. Keep it up!

 

[Biomacchia]

I know exactly how that is haha, that's how I felt playing some of the Rance games too.
Thanks for the feedback! As we've discussed on the thread, I plan to up the erotic part of the game on the next chapter for sure.
