I find the constant skill checks annoying, the fear of missing content is too big to actually enjoy the game.
I forgot to mention the combat is boring and the damage is too great for the low recovery rate, in short the game forces you to cheat resources and stats to enjoy it.

Or set there and grind up your stats, yes I know most players want it all now instead of grinding.
Can't speak for other players but I hate how I'm basically forced to grind or cheat everything to 100 to avoid missing stuff. What's the point of the game if you have to max stats at the start of the game? The first big skill check with the birds was 50 divided between two stats and 5 or 6 days later I have a 100 skill check, the choice with girl before that was presented as a check of pride or lust, Is the scene lost forever?
The combat system is not as horrible as it looks but the enemy numbers are too big for your recovery rate.

Whenever you make a choice (like deciding to NOT breed the chick who insults you on the mountain ledge), the sex scene unlocks in the player gallery anyways. So you quite literally cannot "miss out" on content.
At least that's a load off my back thanks!Whenever you make a choice (like deciding to NOT breed the chick who insults you on the mountain ledge), the sex scene unlocks in the player gallery anyways. So you quite literally cannot "miss out" on content.

I have no idea how to change the text size in the game. I don't even see that option. The text in the game runs outside of the parchment on the screen, but I don't know how to adjust it.
This is WAY too much of a slow burn with way too many moving parts. I got the patreon version and I regret it. Also, whats with MC jizzing on everything? Would of loved a blowjob scene or something, but instead I have a firefighter's hose just drenching everyone.
I played a bit more and realized my mistake, though a bit of an advice would be appreciated at the first post.Whenever you make a choice (like deciding to NOT breed the chick who insults you on the mountain ledge), the sex scene unlocks in the player gallery anyways. So you quite literally cannot "miss out" on content.
1-Indicate which stats are associated in skill checks (Stoic+Wild)
2-Indicate that missed and rejected scenes will still unlock in the gallery
3-Please elaborate a bit about dungeons, I don't know if they are repeatable or not.

Got a few questions in case someone can answer.
1 - The MC cant be put to work/collect materials in the base camp (minining, hunting, etc) right? Only the people you recruit can to that (like Raven)?
2- Any of the places you go in adventuring are repeatable and farmable, like extra battles and extra resource collecting, not counting the spots where it clearly says you can visit that place x amount of extra times.

I just finished the game and it was a lot better than expected, enough to guarantee a second playtrough when there's a significant update but please listen to the critiques.
-I hated the stat boosting equipment, I'd rather you take them all away and focus and PHYS FORT and CHAR, except equipment boosting your main stats for evey x substat achieved.
-Merciless mode on skirmishes is useless, unless you cheat there's a long grind before you outrank the enemy and since you have to cheat the extra skill points are also useless.
-I don't know what to say about patreon exclusive content, it's not significant enough to complain but mildly annoying since you have it here in your face.
This last one is a recommendation rather than a critique, the girl's passive skills are a bit boring and I think you should change them a bit or at least allow us to take both choices since there won't be that much of a difference.

I think I found a way to cut myself out of content. First time playthrough, After running into Puxy, I guess there was an event where she gives the MC a sex toy, but I was stuck in New Rozan at the time barely surviving with very little Essence available. The sex toy looked completely useless so I smelted it into Essence. Much later, I encountered the location where you are supposed to use the sex toy to open the lock, but since I had previously smelted the sex toy, the location is forever unavailable to me.
It would be nice if the game gave some kind of shop or event where I could reobtain the sex toy. Personally, since Puxy is completely pointless outside of the one time event that gives the player the sex toy, maybe introduce a shop where Puxy can sell items or can modify items at the cost of the Reagents you gather so they have some use beyond just useless cosmetics.
I think it would also be nice if the wandering trader random event happened a little bit more frequently. I am 191 days in on my first playthrough and I have only seen her pop up 4 times. Maybe even have some kind of market in Rozan where items can be bought and sold for various resources. The "rare" resources, being Metal and Leather, have almost no applications late game, and Essence is so plentiful that using the Smelter or the Pyre become pointless.
As far as the "skirmishes" go, as soon as the player gets Mel, it becomes pretty safe to always turn on Merciless Mode as the combined stats of the MC, the 3 LIs, and their defense stats, far outpace the stats required to win them. As long as I have a person mining and hunting every single day, I am able to easily pay the cost of the Defense active talent at least two or 3 times per skirmish cycle. Its just free stats.
Sorry for the rant, just felt like I needed to say this.

Then I'll wait patiently just a bit more, so you can hammer out the kinks (see what I did there?) and issues.It's completed in the sense that the main story is playable from beginning to end, but large updates and content will keep on coming
So, I have largely finished most of the game, all that is left is the final boss fight pretty much so I can give a solid feedback now.
Things that particularly stood out:
- great audio tracks(are they copyrighted? AI generated? I likd the audio so much that I honestly would like to download the tracks to listen to in my spare time)
- consistent art style despite use of AI
- writing was alright for the most part. I feel that Raven was very nicely written. The weakest link is definitely Mel, honestly their plotline doesn't make any sense, it's pretty confusing. Maybe it's too early to make this judgement, she just drops on the protagonist out of the blue acting all mysterious and whatnot. From her behaviour I would imagine there should be some hidden agenda, I would rather not think that the author just wanted to only present this cheap sentiment of closed off girl falling in love with her visions, it doesn't feel very serious. I have read hundreds of novels in my time and seen many characters like her, that kinda reasoning just doesn't hold up and feels forced. Usually characters like this are manipulative and calculating. She is also older woman clearly, having some sort of outlandish puppy love would be somewhat acceptable for a young teen but not mature woman.
- I liked the creative setting and overall the world of Shift cleverly leveraging the shortcomings of the early AI models.
- The gameplay loop is pretty ok, I find the stuff balanced and you can explore at your own pace, collectables are also very cool and interesting mechanic
- combat is just alright, not that great but not bad either
For the bad things...
I am sorry to say but...the animations have been disappointing for the most part. Very disappointing, all the heat in the scenes comes from the accompanying text you wrote, the visual part is very lacking and just doesn't mesh well with what you write. Animations in particular are very underwhelming. Honestly they kinda feel copy pasted not sure how to describe it, but like, actors change, positions change but the impression is always the same. Also don't like the that you don't really have control over animation loop and they just keep repeating ad infinitum. The climaxes are also underwhelming, I liked that there is a lot of cum and stuff but that's it, also just my personal preference. This is probably the main reason this game never took off, just visual part is key for real success. Everything else was nice and engaging.
Also, there are too few scenes with the main leads, the build up is nice and great...but yeah, my main feedback is that visual department at this ero company needs a lot more practice. It's not about the art style, purely polish and execution.
On subject of audio...it probably never passed developer's mind, but visuals, text and AUDIO are all part of the scene and equally important. You can change audio for the given scene to change the vibe and also give it better momentum. Some scenes would have benefited from changed and dedicated audio tracks, according to intensity etc.
Post scriptum: Honestly the game doesn't need to have animations. You can make very hot and erotic static visuals. Just generate more and make more transitions in accordance with the text and happenings. But I get it, it probably wasn't done because you can't really generate the same stuff consistently with only minor differences. I guess that's the biggest hurdle.
Personal wish list:
- since he cums so much where is so called cumflation
-maybe more x-ray sometimes where it's warranted. But the good x-ray, not the shit and exaggerated one. The good stuff. If you are a man or woman of culture you understand.
-oh yeah this reminds me that the text never really goes into the sensations much, unlike most other ero games we cannot really read the sensations of the heroines nor the protagonist that much. The best they do is just remark how big his cock is and how much he cums or how tight the *orifices* are, that's all. Dont quote me on this but this part does seem mostly nonexistent. Do you even understand the Heart of Man?? You think everyone else is doing this because they are silly and too perverted? Some doubts here. I know many games excessively exaggerate it sometimes, but maybe it would be nice if some raunchy thoughts of heroines were incorporated into scenes. Giving those encounters more personality and spice. We never know what they are thinking, everything is from the POV of MC. For this reason the best scenes are ones with more dialogue
- if you ever wanted to extend the game, maybe make it so that breeding isn't so easy, all of them seem to get knocked up on the spot every time. Also it's pretty plain how all women are so easy, even if males are almost extinct and world is shit with Unmade and all, it's simply not very realistic that every woman is like that, just think about it, would every member of the society in the world like that really behave in such a way and with such attitude? This part really gives impression of cheap breeding fantasy. Seriously developer, you are really an amateur breeding enthusiast. Now that I have come this far writing all of this I suddenly dislike you.
TLDR
6 out of 10 on the breeding scale. I got pissed at the end.

I would love to know how they make those animations with AI. I don't know if it's an application or theirs.
