Alexxx! Congrats on getting your game out there. Really great start. Love the lockerroom scene both dom and sub. I am curious about the motivations of the characters. I love that they are all different and I look forward to learning more about them.

Your writing is clean and flows (great style), and the sex scenes are legit hot. I was so sad when I reached the end. Have you put this up on itch.io yet? That site gets a TON of traffic (not as much feedback/discussion as here but you'll get a lot of gameplay).

This is the start of something great.

BTW: Did you try to arrange your twine passages so they looked like a penis with the balls on top (nice touch)?

I'm not into sissyfication to the honest. There will be other fetishes, though.
Excellent move, Mr Dev... I'm not into sissification either .. there's already too many games outthere with that, which I try to avoid. I like that you're taking the masculine approach. I too am very curious to see where this story will takes us - not all GAYmes should be about MasterDoms with SissySubs.

Off to a great start! Usually I would prefer games with images/video but you've really managed to make a game that ropes in the player without any of that stuff, the writing is really good.
The UI and everything looks really well too, everything looks consistent and well-presented. The characterisations and portrait icons really help differentiate between the characters as well.
Love seeing some more proper M/M content too!

I wouldn't mind seeing one of the Fathers/teachers/headmaster appearing as a character later on either but whatever you end up doing I'll lap it up anyway. :LOL:

No sissy content? I approve. Nothing against it but not my thing (and there are a lot of that in almost any other game).
So far interesting game with good writing. The only thing right now that i would add is more visuals (i know is not what you have in mind for the game, but it's something more along the line of making it easier to read "breaking the text", but it's ok like it is).

I really appreciate the writing quality of this game. I can tell the author is learned on natural description if that sentence makes sense. I found every 'page' to be well made and interesting. I want to see this game continue. More than anything I appreciate the sadism focus going on and I think the composition is where the author shines, I'd like to see how this author takes on more brutal circumstances even if I heavily dislike blood

You'll be able to develop relationships with characters. Stats are tracked and it will affect future scenes.
It's not really romantic though. Some characters might have a quasi-boyfriend relationship with MC later on, but it's not a boyfriend based kind of story, considering the (very homophobic) place you're in.
So does that mean the player is gonna be locked into group actions? or will you have solo fuck buddy options? I'm not a huge fan of player rape or forced group. Trying to figure out if this is gonna be for me or not, before i get too invested.

Just played it, and it was great! Though I wish there wasn't as much slapping, but it makes sense with the overall tone of the characters. Praying that Marky always keeps his feet clean

Hey, guys!
Sorry for disappearing. I have a chronic illness and it acted up this last month, shortly after the release.
I'm finally able to get back to work on it. I have a ton of ideas and plenty of scenes planned. I just need to put it down.


Great start, AlexXXX! As usual, your writing is hot, imaginative, and delightfully cruel. I can't wait to see how the game develops.
Honestly telling me that the writing is cruel is the best compliment I could get. It's exactly what I was going for!

Yeah, it's on itch.io, that site sure gets a lot of traffic.

Thanks for the compliments! As a huge fan of your game it's great to know you enjoy my work as well.

And hahahahaha I did NOT plan on the penis but I'm happy it somehow got there.
I love penis.
MOAR PENIS!


Excellent move, Mr Dev... I'm not into sissification either ..
Great start alexxxx000 , I always praise devs that avoid sissyfication content. My best wishes for your game.
Yeah, there are a bunch of games with sissyfication out there and while I can enjoy them, usually I enjoy them IN SPITE of the presence of sissyfication.
To each their own, but not in my game.

I understand wanting porn between the passages. I mean, I play a lot of games like that and they're great and the images help set the tone (and the masturbating :))
It's just not really what I'm going for.

I might be revealing my old right now, but it's based on those Choose Your Own Adventure books I used to read when I was younger.
I loved them and they really took me to another universe. I still read similar novels/games like this on my tablet. A Choice Of Robots is a personal favorite.
So this is more of a novel novel instead of visual novel.

Thanks for the UI compliment, I really wanted it to look streamlined and nice.

There will be an older character introduced soonish.
The focus is very student-based but I'm not against introducing older characters.

Thank you.
I try to be as descriptive as I can since I don't use images or videos.

And sadism is certainly a focus.
There will be more slapping, punching, kicking and all around violence.
There won't be blood or gore since I'm not into that.


So does that mean the player is gonna be locked into group actions? or will you have solo fuck buddy options? I'm not a huge fan of player rape or forced group. Trying to figure out if this is gonna be for me or not, before i get too invested.
There will be group scenes. But it's not a focus. Most scenes will probably be one on one or one on two.

I always give the player the option to remove themselves from the situation. I don't believe in forcing players into sex scenes.

However, there won't be a friendship route or a non-sex route. It is a porn game. if you choose to remove yourself from the situation you will get a few paragraphs describing how you left but no more than that.

My story is very non-con and sometimes borders on rapey and that's by design.

I hope that answers your question.

Dang... I won't be interested if It's going to be one of those 250 page novels with only 8 pages of sketched / black'n'white photos in the middle.... (yes I'm old school too, but) I hated those books that doesn't allow the reader to have a breather every-so-often.
.
Just a question: How many [Text Based] games actually get published into book form? And why ain't they all? - I mean, if writers want money, why not go to a publisher to distribute the story to a much broader audience.

I dunno what qualifies as a breather to you. I don't plan to add pictures or gifs.
I like books, this is sort of like one.

Well, everything is digital now, so usually those kinds of "choose your adventure" novels are published in app form by developers like Choice of Games and others.
They're not pornographic in nature, though.

firstly i love your story , What kind of update schedule can we expect weekly/montly/quarterly/yearly ?
As For feedback could you maybe ad larger portrets or even full body portrets of the characters the current images are very small.

Choice of Games did try a "Spinoff" called Heart's Choice. Other than the original releases in 2019, they don't seem to have put much into these stories. I liked the title "All World Pro Wrestling" but the rest didn't really seem sexy enough to qualify as the steam romance adventures that Heart's Choice was advertised to be.

Oh man, I love Choice of Robots! I've played it dozens of times and that thing just keeps on giving.

I actually appreciate your decision to not include porn images! They can be great supplements, but a well-written scene is exponentially hotter than any 5 second GIF could ever be (plus it keeps the file size down!). I do like the avatars though; it's nice to have a quick visual reference for the characters, especially if you're going to add more.

An excellent start and I'm very much looking forward to more!

I expect to update monthly probably.
It didn't happen this month because I was sick.

The images are just Sims I screenshotted from the game. They're just meant to be avatars.
But I might be able to add a from the waist up bigger image from each of them in the future, I think that's doable.

I never played any of them, although I faintly recall reading about their existence.
It's sad to know they weren't very good.

I remember the wrestling one was quite fun, also with a lot of sex scenes!
