I enjoyed the game and the dialogue, the title music was awesome but as a lifelong metalhead (I'm in my mid 30's), I was a bit disappointed with the rest of the music. It was more in the metalcore vein than it was black or death metal.

Still, as an amateur dev myself, I understand finding free-to-use black metal music is pretty difficult.
it really was hard to find! but i did my best to get a basic feel where i could. in a perfect world, i'd have ignored potential copyright claims...

A few things you could do for future projects (if my advice is welcomed, of course) is search YouTube for what you're looking for and reach out to the creators. A lot of the times, they'll be open to someone using their music, especially if they're not very well known.
Also, a route I took for a project I'm doing is I literally threw caution to the wind and messaged one of my favorite bands (Skinless) and they gave me permission to use their entire album as I saw fit for free.

yah, i was talking to someone else who thought that, too. at the time, i figured not many would want to put their name to a porn game... :D having said that i might look around for future projects. it's hard making music stick so i'm sometimes not sure what i want. for me, most people probably turn it off regardless of the music style so it's just an extra piece of atmosphere for those who want it. :)

I definitely understand the mindset behind it. However, a project such as this, I wouldn't really consider a porn game but that's just arguing semantics.
I am guilty of muting 95% of the games I play in favor of my own music or a podcast but let's be honest, you can only hear the same songs over and over so much before you get annoyed lol.

I'm the same. I generally have a playlist of about two thousand songs from the past fifty years set to shuffle play. I never know what I'll get during my playthroughs.

That moment when the stars align and you get hit with a gangster Bone Thugs song during a shoot out scene in a game tho.

This was an enjoyable short story. Without rushing, can easily be read over a lunch break.

That said ... Fans of metal are the musical equivalent of vegans - you always know when they're in the room.

Every metal fan i've met in life will always show you they are into metal. Either by wearing t-shirts and shit or they will talk with you about it.
And of course, a metal fan makes a porn game and the first thing he does is make it about metal.
You guys cant stop being cringe.

Renders look great though looking at the previews and the girl is unique.

Very, very nicely done game. You really can feel tension between main protagonists. Only downside could be probably length of the story, but it's completely understandable and it isn't a big deal.

First and foremost: short, but great game!

Don't stick ya dick in crazy, m8!
let's be honest, whoever invented that phrase obliviously never fucked crazy :D so I would recommend everybody to restain from using that phrase unless you had your pelvis turned into bonedust by "crazy" :D

Nevertheless if you ever find a girl that looks at you like Jenny looks at the MC...

Sweet girl. Love the faces she makes, very expressive and has a charismatic personality.

Not a fan of the manlet 40yo creep looking MC though

And the constant out of context metal references from his part were kinda cringe (And I say this being a metal fan).

Besides that, I really enjoyed it overall. GJ!

Really liked it, the "creepy" way of smiling of Jenny (well, default name) is really cute - I actually knew someone who could smile a bit in that way (eyes included), and you rendered it greatly.
Very well done for her facial expression, it really goes with the text and makes her really have a personality, and even physically, she is certainly attractive, although I will admit very different from the average on the games (but big boobs don't make automatically beautiful) - though it's true that part of the attractiveness probably come from the very good work in giving her a personality.
The story is really nice and romantic, maybe a bit too oriented towards heavy rock (but in reality, the musical references I saw in my play run, were basically all references I could get, more 80's than hard rock, though maybe "I was made to love you" can be considered hard rock, and it's true Kiss where classified as an hard rock band).
