So, there's a review that says this game has EN TEE ARGH and that a girl gets Raped. Is this true, trolling, or an outdated version?

I was ready to say "goodbye" cause I saw the warning and this review in quick succession. Then I see that no one is talking about it in the thread so I'm looking like :unsure:

If it is wrong they need to amend their review to stop leading people like me astray! D:

Oh man! You could slap or fight a close friend or younger brother but you can't just slap person that is almost stranger to you.. More closer the person is, less formal you act around those people. She was maintaining formalities.
Wtf... Do you slap your parents, wife, gf daily or something? Or are you saying you are not close enough with them to slap them?

I'm also a bit confused about that one review.
Someone gets raped and that is considered NTR? And NTR is the worse offence?
I mean, if there's a rape that transitions into the usual hentai manga trope where the rapist fucks her so blissfully senseless, that she gets addicted to his cock, I might see a point, but an actual rape, where the woman is hurt and traumatized?

Not that I mind rape in general as a fantasy, it depends on the type of game and the story whether it's a turn-on or a complete turn-off. And even if, no kink-shaming is my motto. :cool:

Guess I'll have to check this game to see what this is about and making post a clarifying review.

Well, that girl was almost raped but her brother from another mother/cousin instantly starts to grope her, when he finds her, that's not fucked up and creepy at all.
MC is a stalker, dialogue is bad and cheesy, the Engrish is strong in this one.

However, to come back to that one review. A guy trying to rape a girl, who runs away terrified, should not be considered NTR, that is a definition I find almost problematic.

I think you missed the part where she stumble upon on MC and he holds her a bit longer due to temptation. Maybe seems like groping but it wasn't intentional.
MC is a stalker,
What do you mean?

dialogue is bad and cheesy,
Thanks for your opinion.

Sorry for that; We're improving.

Lol. Seriously? Whether you call it temptation or not, keeping his hands there was definitely intentional, and it is groping. And mind you, I don't have a problem with an MC being a pervert, but not in a situation like that.

As for calling him a stalker. He is obsessed with his friend/cousin/sister, has been obsessing over her for years, plays the friend but is hurt when she reduces him to friend/relative status, he follows her everywhere and tries to sabotage any relationship she might have (doesn't matter if the other guy is an asshole, MC doesn't do it for her, he does it because he wants her for himself).
Then he constantly whines about his fate and how unfair she is, life is etc..
Sorry to destroy your illusions, but your MC is a totally unsympathetic, incel stalker.

Look, I'm really sorry I didn't like your game, I was giving it a fair chance, but if I dislike the MC, the story offers nothing new, the renders aren't so great that it makes up for the other failings AND the writing is bad due to failing English skills, there's just nothing left for me to enjoy the game.
I hope you have a lot of success, and that the game improves a lot, so that everyone is happy, but I don't think it will ever be for me, as, again, I just don't like the MC

Temptation was a big factor in that scene you can't just throw that out of the window like nothing. He did leave her as soon the temptation worn off. He hugs her again after some time but he doesn't grope her because he intentionally hugs her that time.

You got it wrong again; How'd you know he is trying to ruin all of her relationships? Did she had any? The script only has the lines about the friendship of antagonist and LI. And MC only talks about that relationship. He just warned her how a bad person the antagonist is... I think you didn't play the full update, otherwise you'd know that.


Look, I'm really sorry I didn't like your game,
You don't have to say sorry, We are sorry for wasting your time.

Thanks for giving it a chance. We are trying to improve our content.

I hope you have a lot of success,
Somehow I doubt that.. (JK) Thanks for the wishes.

It's not bad, the disclaimer make me laugh because so far I've not seen anything close to serious depressing, hell I'm depressed to play as a incel but story wise so far is nothing to beware. Story is not that good but interesting, character are mostly likeable aside from mc and Jennifer, I know the women are a mystery saying but most women doesn't behave like her, going with someone that from the get go says he want to fuck you is a tough sell. Dev is entitled to do what he want with his novel but if I may advice him/her I would say to drop the corruption path, that in reality got nothing to corruption, mc goes from incel to temper tantrum retard, seriously, or at least finish your original story and then add the dumb path, I get people asking for choice matter options but if you can't deliver you'll loose your targeted audience.

Thank for your suggestion. And the corruption path was already dropped a version aback. now it remains only in few dialog and will be completely deprecated in future.

I basically played up to that part after the fight with Muller and then the mc finds Jennifer at the forest, but up to this point, the mc is such a major creep, seriously, by the lake he was thinking about how Jennifer don't looked at him more than family(what does he expect?) and how she deserved to be with him and not Muller..., that almost made me delete the game. And then we have Muller with those cheesy comic book villain lines that take you away even more. I understand they want to make him an antagonist, but that was so cringe, specially at the beginning with Jennifer by the fire, she let insults from both sides flies like they were a couple of friends joking and she didn't say anything.

So the story is not pulling me in, on the contrary. I will continue where I left off some other time, I just hope the mc stop being a creep like Jennifer is his property or something and start act more natural.

I particularly do not agree with some of the reviews, in my view this game has everything to work out and be a good game, I only have three questions:
1- Is the protagonist dead or in some dream after a fight he had with the villain? I ask this because, there is a game that happened the same situation but at the end of the story it is revealed that the protagonist was in a coma and everything was just a dream, I was very angry with this plot decision because it literally says that everything that happened was a lie.
2- I know the name of the game has '' island '' but the mc will stay the whole game on that island / beach or mc and Jennifer go back to town before the end of the plot?
3 - if the harem option is chosen, will it be Jennifer + that ninja girl that appears on the island + the policewoman + milf and that girl who is a hacker?
I'll wait a little longer to give a review (I usually review games from version 0.5 onwards) but so far I have nothing to complain about.

Hi, thanks for playing. I see a lot of people had the same thought as you. perhaps we have pushed the story too far for a harem game. Thank you for clearing that up. I will discuss the matter with the developer and see if we can do anything about on this subject.
