Me2 especially Mayan
Mayan's story shouldn't be completed, it should be developed, we've just arrived at the presentation of the character... :(

If you want, the other plots can also be considered complete, it's not certain that with each of them you have to crown a "love" dream.

Does the main character have a face?
:unsure: Yes, and you can also see it quite often

In a Scent - Game Reveal
I'm excited to finally reveal the next project, In a Scent. Personal Trainer was the first project casting a wide net to learn as much as possible about game development. There were a lot of lessons learned not only about developing the game but my own personal preferences. In a Scent will be taking a much more focused approach. The character cast as well as the overall scope of the project will be smaller, allowing more breathing room to dive into character development with a focus on story telling.

TLDR: In a Scent will approach story telling as a mix of standard Visual Novel and the typical Hollywood comedy screenplay. The story revolves around corruption, romance, and the pursuit of happiness.


The environments were created with the story in mind and went through many carefully thought out iterations.



I'm happy to introduce the first member of our cast, college-bound Astraea "Raya".


Some things to keep in mind regarding the Visual Novel format is reading fatigue. I often find myself skipping text when playing these types of games. I normally enjoy reading but many times it feels like there's just too much information being dumped on the player all at once. This is something I've taken into consideration while structuring the story and how to deliver information to the player in more ways than just text. I'm really pleased in how I've tackled it so far and will be looking forward to hearing your feedback.
With the groundworks laid out as well as the character pipeline finalized, development has shifted from R&D to production. Over the coming weeks I'll be introducing the rest of the cast. A trailer will be released as we get closer to finalizing the first chapter. No release dates or timelines will be announced until the project is in the hands of testers.

I hope you're all as excited as I am for this project. It's gonna be a banger.

Has anyone else had problems clicking the times in the game as they don't work for me on the Android version? It could be because the buttons are so small due to it being android.

My guess is probably not as the game is finished, but maybe he can keep that in mind for his next game as the first ones are mostly just a first try to get a feeling for how things work.

So the game is abandoned then. Meh, oh well. It would have been far better to have had less characters and have a complete route for them to have a real ending then to just give it up. At lest we know its not another game in limbo and we can delete the game, that much is appreciated at lest in knowing this games fate.

There is an ending, just not in the typical sense of "The end" as this is a sandbox game. If there was a typical end you may miss out on some of the other characters.

Well .. let us take a look see:
"Why is Sophie coming so late on Fridays?" im slow i know, but what do i do ? //// Nvm, 9 o'clock on friday at home, got it :)
If it says "No more events in this version" on all girls as hints,you're done for now
So you told me nothing I didn't know, However to prove you wrong I figured it out. Don't leave house from 4pm on and visit every room and interact always.

1600-living room to advance time.
1700-(Sophies Home...No pormotion)-AutoAdvance
1800-Sophie room...better not bug her-click Advance
1900-Sophie shower..keep looking..-AutoAdvance
2000-Sophie Kitchen...deepthroating cucumber-clickAdvance
2100-Cant find her-This is where I have always given up,but since I decided to prove you wrong i stuck around-click to advance time
2200-Sophi shows up again and advances story
Approach that situation like a parent trying to catch their kid coming home late before midnight.
