The latest releases are done! They have a fix for the bug longjohngold reported, and I reframed the art in a way that I think makes it look better, although I still intend to redraw much of it as time and skill allows. For downloads and full changelogs, .
Amazing job! Really loving this game.

So I like the setting and the Girl and even the Professor (I played a man with a phallus like I be) and the tone felt really nice to. However the horror elements were so... bizarre and disgusting for the most part. killed my interest almost every dream especially the early one with the worms. not sure if I am going to keep on with this game as it develops. I would give this a 5 star for being an excellent trainer game but I also would massively penalize the game for killing my boners before I could finish using them.

decided to run through all the plot of this new update all at once and save fun time with the "plot" for after. Here is hopping the dreams dont repeat. Your lovecraftian horror show is actually really interesting. I like the lore behind Elsewhere and the Mica sign so far.

So the further into the game you get the less creepy and disturbing the Horror Elements are. I acutally really like this. a lot of the horror elements become less horrific as you come to understand what is going on especially the dreams. one example without getting to plot spoilers is that one of the dreams has you ripping off body parts and handing them out without your control (even if you say no your body goes along with it and says yes.) Pretty dam horrific especially when that same dream comes around and next time it is your heart they want.
Then later you meet a certain creature this creature is essentially made of soap and can regrow herself over and over. She gives parts of her body away as soap that make you have a real good time. the better time people have with the soap the more she can grow and shape/customize her body. and she seems to be enjoying this. I had a third dream about the same scenario shortly after i found her. and (we both snapped our hands off at the wrist to give to our lovers).
at least to me this says hey your dreams (at least some of them.) have you taking on the roles of the various creatures you encounter in game. I noticed several other dreams that seemed to correspond with various other entities in the game as well. I really love how well this is all put together now.
I very much get the same feeling that our young female companion has about the horror in the game. she mentions that she loves looking at the darker side of the world and the occult because she has anxiety and the better she understands these things the less they freak her out. If she can know them she can put them in a box in her head. as soon as I started to feel like i was seeing "beyond" the horrific top layer i really started to enjoy myself more. Still not a fan of the Predestined failure vibes but overall the story is really good and the horror just this side of manageable. Don't play this for the porn (the advancement of the lewd aspect is tied into the horror both ways so my plan didn't exactly work.) but for a horror light Lovecraft story piece this is really really good.
you also really got me to care about the girl we are training which is more than most trainer games can say
and they are a compleatly unique character to no porn parody ripoff version of hermione/Asoka/Disney princess to act as an artificial bridge to caring just solid writing a struggle I identify with way to much and a certain degree of enthusiastic earnestness that i find way hotter than i thought i would.

So I first downloaded this because of the possibility of "A trainer game where both participants are completely female", but... Honestly, I'm enjoying the "supernatural mysteries" aspect of it far more than any of the sex. Not because the sex is bad, but because the supernatural aspects are so good.

This is a pretty great game; it's pretty well put together, and nothing feels tedious or too abrupt. The pacing is a lot better than most games I've played.

If I have to make a criticism, I would say that the artwork isn't that good - but I also don't really care much about that. The writing is more than detailed enough to carry the work on its own, and limited artwork means that it doesn't feel unusual when the weirder things we see aren't drawn.

I'm not sure how much high-level branching I'll do; I at least plan to have multiple "graduation" events that you can choose from near the end of the game, but I might include some more complexity if it feels right. I'll be paying attention to patron feedback on that stuff, since more branching makes everything more complicated to write and fit into the game.
I'd kind of like the option to make her into an assertive domme by the end, and possibly a vicious one at that, but... That's mostly because it runs so contrary to her perceived character at the start of it, honestly. And what could be more "Ruin Her" than that?

Though even if not to that extent, it'd be nice to make her more assertive and proactive; after all, considering the interests she's been nurturing for a good decade or so, and how desperate she's been to get past her issues to indulge in them, she must be a bubbling cauldron of lust by now. Once she can actually initiate things on her own, she's going to have a lot of things she wants to try...

Relatedly, seeing how nonchalant Theresa is in her dreams as some pretty bizarre things happen leaves you wondering just how ridiculously strong she is. I mean, it's true that it left her traumatized for life, but she started seeing these things when she was a kid, and somehow she's not completely catatonic.

she's just remarkably well put together for her situation.

Though of course, she's had years to get used to all of this before approaching the Professor for help, while the Professor has only had days, so I guess that's to be expected...

At least one conversation route during training implies that Theresa might be willing to dom once she gets some experience, and the masturbation encouragement play has one dominant option of sorts. I truly hope that domme Theresa is a possibility by the end, though I think she'd still be a sweetheart about it.

Am I the only one who noticed frequent "flashes" of the screen while playing? As if a static image is displayed for a second, reminding me of the 25 frame phenomenon? Is this even legal?

That means the character is having an orgasm

I believe it is much shorter than what devs use to show that character is having and orgasm. Also, instead of several white flashes, there is much quicker, single frame shown. It is so quick that I cannot say what it displays.

In a few of the nightmares, there are lines of dialogue that only show up for a moment, often just before you wake up. They're nothing sinister (well, not for the player). For example, at one point Theresa screams "No, WAI-" and is suddenly cut off. I don't believe any of these are art, only dialogue.

If you're seeing it when awake, it probably shouldn't be happening. Did you install a new version on top of an old one? If so, you might be seeing unpredictable behavior and should install in a new directory (your saves will be preserved). If that isn't it, please PM me with more info on what platform you're using and where it's showing up so I can maybe track it down; I haven't encountered it myself or had it reported.

this is all really true of my experience with the game to. And i know my character will be more than eager to try out almost every single one of those things at least once. I definitely feel that a Domme Theresa possibility is both hinted at and very welcome. the professor also leaves a lot of hints that he(if you play as a he) might enjoy that kind of thing (one of his missing bags did include a strap-on after all. for a female MC or a male MC with no Phallus that might not mean all that much. but for a Man with a Phallus like mine... who exactly does he think will be using this? presumably he is at least a switch in the bedroom besides he does state that he thinks societies views on what a man with a Phallus can do in the bedroom are to restrictive and give Theresa a point by point explanation of Prostate orgasms.)

Nah I definitively agree. I really think it speaks to the strength of her character. she often claims that their are 2 kinds of women in her family strong like her mother and weak like her. But I disagree. She definitely has strength significant mental strength to continue operating in a world like hers especially to go back knowing what is there. To take up the duty of ending this horror rather than running from it. To seek help to share her worries and dangers and to even take steps to er... Spoil herself so as to be less appealing to the monster she seeks to destroy. and she managed to deduce our nature by comparing the writing style in our academic papers to the porn we publish under a different name... well done girl i must say.

There's a bit of an appearance in some of the sex sequences with Theresa, but my plan is for the protagonist to mostly appear obscured or first-person.
I don't like first-person. I hope there will be present Third person. It's boring as fuck to me can't see her appearance and her expression. Wired.

It might be a good idea to put some sort of warning before you find a penis inside a robe, or a way to back off once you're there. To each their own, but that's very much not mine.

I'm not really sure what the best metric to use here is, but the reason it's under a 100 mb is because it's a VN made in Ren'Py with little in the way of music or large images; it's pretty much pure text, and Ren'Py is rather lightweight. Even if the game was large enough to take you a week to read through (it isn't, to be clear; I'd estimate around an afternoon), you could still come in under 100 mb with how little the game relies on artwork.
