Yes, this was actually in the form of a screenplay called "The Cul-de-Sac" I wrote over ten years ago. Not to say, things won't change as we build the game, because some things already have.
In the Android version, the message box of the guard at the night club keeps appearing during every conversation and I can't see anything behind it.

Hey, thanks for letting me know about this bug. I think I know what the issue is and will fix it as soon as possible.

I just dropped the v06 version and there were some notable additions / improvements added between that and the last one. Hope you folks enjoy! Once that version is cleared here (hopefully) I'd be hugely indebted to those who take the time to write up a little review, or any constructive notes. Knowing what we're doing right and what can be improved is always a huge help.
The idea is really good, but content-wise, it's extremely limited. Too limited to be worth signing up on Patreon for the newest release ... at this point.

So far, we've watched about a half dozen people (literally on site, at my buddies house) play from start, to end of content or close to it, and average duration of user experience is over four hours, without using the walk-through. I also try to insert content that isn't just "choose your adventure" choices, such as the voyeur game, guitar challenge and other bits one can do - those are actually optional as there are almost always more than one path one can take to get past a challenge.
Would we be better off opening more locations and teasing future content so people can better see how big this world will become? Or do we just need to keep stacking content as we have been, and eventually have it fill out over time?
Or by "limited" do you mean something else entirely? I'm genuinely all ears. The project won't survive without support and we'd love to know what we can do to pique interest. Thanks!
LoL, agree to disagree, to each their own of course but this one specifically made my short list for Patreon because of trying it here and being impressed by it (and how the dev responds). Looking forward to playing this version when I get some time this week and seeing what got added between updates.
Although my view may be jaded because I'm not looking to support the 9000th honey select/daz/etc* game, as long as we got more of this original art style stuff coming up. *(not that those can't be good, especially when a renderer tweaks the girls to be custom, just in general I like when a game goes full original art. It's nice to see around these parts.)

The disappointment that players feel about these games not having a lot of content is, I think, just an unfortunate byproduct of the way that they are released bit by bit. Most games, movies, books etc. are released after they've been fully completed. As such, these periodic updates that come out every month or so seem much smaller in comparison. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you guys.
I also think that the premise of the game itself might turn some people off. It's quite cerebral compared to the average game you see on here. If someone is just looking to get their rocks off, then the plot will only get in the way. Speaking personally, I love the premise of this game as I have always been a big fan of old detective stories and film noir. Nonetheless, the most successful pornographic games tend to focus much more on having a high number of sex scenes while the plot barely exists. Look at Summertime Saga as an example. Highly successful despite the fact that the main story hasn't progressed at all. I like the approach you guys have taken, but it will probably remain niche in its appeal.

Just wanna respond to this. I'll see if I can get to this late tonight or tomorrow, and get a link for you soon. Wife just back in town and we're making a day of it.
Cheers!

This must be a rule I was unaware of. Apologies. Although if you finish the sequence, there is no actual blackmail. Thanks for letting me know and if needed, yes, we should add the tag.

I'll be making a full save tomorrow for this version, and once I figure out how to extract it, will provide a link. The tackboard in the bedroom now has jumps to all discovered sex videos/games.

Not entire sure I am doing this right, but I zipped a file with a full save and the persistent data. If I didn't do this correctly, please let me know. Here's the link:

I think you'll need to drop the save in */AppData/Roaming/RenPy/ParadiseLofts
In this version, there are six sex scenes discovered, that are included on the tackboard in the bedroom. PeepView has some scenes, too, that don't involve the player (in the latest Patreon version, I include the first time you can go to a neighbor, while they are doing whatever activity you see them doing in PeepView. I'll expand on that in the future as we build the game.) Anyway, those sequences are random and the more hardcore ones a bit rarer to see.
