This game is really good, keep it up! Just wondering you don't have a patreon? I think it would benefit development since most people use that
Thank you! At the moment the game is just a hobby, that I work on in my free time for fun. I've considered patreon before but due to personal circumstances, plus not being able to commit to an upload schedule etc., I've decided that I wouldn't make one at this time. Still I appreciate the suggestion and thank you for the support and encouragement :)

what are the bad endings, and how do you get them?
At the moment there are only two bad endings. I'm taking a "gardener" approach to the game's development which is lead to a string of pearls like narrative. So the endings are just short basic narrative game overs that I've purposely made them pretty easy to roll back on They just fade to black have a short narrative and then it's game over. I may work on them in the future to add some CGs or something but that's low priority TBH.

Here's a guide on how to reach them:

I got all kinds of messages about missing variables, do we need to start a new game at 0.4 to have those working properly?

Depends on the version the saves were made in (info is in my itch devlogs)... Unfortunately 0.1 and 0.2 saves are not compatible. 0.3 saves should be compatible so if that was your version that's definitely unintended... If it was version 0.3 if could you let me know what you saw that would be great. If it was 0.1 or 0.2 then it's probably best to restart...

sorry about that... I fucked up variables in the early stages but from this point on I'm committed to make saves compatible.

Hmm, I did download 0.3 but I'm not sure I made any saves there, so could be that my saves are from 0.2. I'll just take the time to start over one of these days.

Don't worry about it, it happens to almost all devs in the early days of the game, when they're still fine-tuning things. I have actually dropped a few games over the years when saves seemed to be messed up pretty much every single update, but I'm sure it won't get that far :LOL:

Yeah I get that but at the moment each sex act is behind a separate choice path.. But honestly I don't really mind. Tag there, tag not there, all good, just wanted to say I'm happy to have it removed if people think that's better.
The question is, are we going to be able to finish the game with the MC having a relationship with all the LIs we're interested in, and with them knowing and consenting to it?

Nobody does. But that's the gameplay. The game is fantastic in my opinion.
I suggest you try it. And yes, before you ask, femdom is avoidable.;)
In an ocean of games, which are kinetic novels disguised as sandboxes on F95 this is actually a game.
I enjoy the art and the story so far, and the MC is not unlikable.

The story so far is holding my interest, but I don't see why the MC would open up to Olivia considering what he's going through, and how little he knows about her. The only people I could see him trusting enough to open up with would be Penelope or Arthur. This game isn't worthy of the 5* rating it currently has, but I feel it would be premature to rate it.
