I assume that the V0.5 update may not have much content requires a walkthrough? plz post your previous walkthrough, thanks
Extremely interesting game. Chloe and the other young lady are both stunning. Way too early for this kind of hope but I really hope this one survives.

Seems like Chloe is my favorite DAZ model Polina, at least someone's using it. But after reading the comments and watching the beginning of the game I don't want to continue play, slow development and too much depends on choice in answers. I just started playing and already there are blocked answer choices. Why make the game so not player friendly?

I watched a tutorial on visual novel design not too far back and there were two competing philosophies on how to design it. The first was like a spider web. The first choice is at the very center and every choice takes the story in a different direction. While moving through the connections of the web, you might eventually find yourself moving in the same direction that your first choice would have taken you in general to purpose of designing like this is for the impact of your decisions to be felt from that very first decision. That seems to be the philosophy of this game. What more often is seen is the other model, the tangled branch, where there are only a few different outcomes in mind and thus the story moves in one direction with the decisions branching back into the same storyline. While impactful on a relationship or two, the decisions only will be felt for a scene or two at most before the story reconnects and keeps going in the same direction. This is much easier to deal with in the long term. For visual shorthand using the same developer, the Web would be Being a Dik and the Branch would be his previous game Acting Lessons. There are people with problems with both of those games for valid reasons, but you are never going to please everybody. One thing that I think is an interesting decision in this game as well as some others is that it shows you the decisions that you can't make. I don't think that this is a good design principle. If you can't make that decision because of previous decisions it should just be missing. This one little change would help the game quite a bit, because graying out things and making them unclickable only calls attention to the content that is locked off rather than keeping the attention on the story.
Any idea why the game has a mix of png, jpgs, webp? (A lot of .webp images are actually jpeg). Is it possible to have the game in original quality (png files)? Thank you.

In my opinion, it should have been simpler. And less parameters in the game; love, friendship, lust, submission, it's easy to get confused. Two are enough, like love and corruption for example. The developer wrote in the latest news that he will add a walkthrough, maybe it will be easier with this.

Initially, the renders were in PNG format. However, one of the developers suggested using the webp format instead, as it has a smaller file size without compromising on quality. Moving forward, I'll only use webp. The compression quality in webp is almost negligible, so there's virtually no difference between the original PNG and webp. Sometimes, I need to re-render scenes if there's an error or some issues during the Photoshop processing of the render. In these cases, I might end up keeping a few renders in PNG format.
I see. I can understand that. But many of the webp images are actually jpegs.
Please take your time and continue developing the game, even though the time between updates is quite long, I think it will be worthwhile.
I really like the vibe of the game from the first time playing it. Each choice in the game significantly influences the storyline, making me curious about other possible choices. This aspect makes the gaming experience increasingly interesting. The process of replaying the game multiple times to discover obscured choices is also a bright point, making sure that the gameplay is not monotonous and forcing players to play multiple times to unlock all the scenes in the game and also the dialogs.
And I'm also looking forward to the next update

-Main Event: "Dine in the Dark"
(To play this event, you need to start the "Stranger" event when Chloe is streaming at the beginning of the game.)
"Dine in the Dark" has two different story paths based on the choices you make. The ending will change too, with Chloe sending you a special message that depends on your decisions.
-Event In Bob's House
-Meeting with Emily
We're still working on the Replay Gallery, and it's not included in this update. But in this update, the key decisions that affect the story's branching paths are based solely on choices made within this update. This means you won't have to replay the entire game from the beginning to see new scenes you might have missed

A walkthrough where choice results are indicated would be very beneficial for this game. When a choice is locked currently it is annoying having to determine where the results were calculated from to achieve unlocking a choice.
also there was mention of a gallery or scene replay indicated somewhere here. Any word on this happening soon rather than later?

Is this to be brought up for V0.5? Would be a valuable tool indeed.
He stopped doing the Mod back in Sept of 2023. No more updates to it based on his post.
