Engrish in the overview. -2
Hmm, redhead. +2
Good looking models in general. +4
Snot-catcher nose piercing. -5
Ugh...sandbox... -10
"Clickable" items remain on screen after transitioning to different locations (bed, computer, doors, etc). -20
First release so you have to be a little forgiving. +10

Overall I'd give it a score of -21 and : "May check out the next release to see if shit got fixed.", but hey, good luck.
if she NEEDS to have a nose piercing i prefer something else. but that center one always looks bad.

in general though i rarely see nose piercings look attractive.

....sandbox also a negative but not as bad as the nose piercings but that's just my opinion.

Do porn game developers take a class on how to make an overview that is both long and says absolutely nothing at the same time?
Yeah, I've noticed this too. It seems like every game I see these days has a description that is basically:

"This is a game. You play as a character. This character will make choices, and things will happen! Other characters will react to you, and a story will unfold!"

Which pretty much tells you exactly nothing, because it describes nearly every game on this site. I get that devs either don't want to spoil their plot, or they don't have a plot yet because they're making everything up as they go along, but it would be nice if more of them would stop using vague generalized descriptions that don't actually say anything meaningful.

It's always nice when you come across games that are actually willing to give you a better idea of the game's underlying story and premise, even the ones that are just cliches like "Your family is in debt to the mob, your dad died, etc etc."

Good luck with the game dev, and i think you don't need to take all comments seriously.

I see a lot of hate in messages with sandbox games, but if you see what games are more played in f95 the sandbox games stay in top10 (not all in top10 are sandbox, but more than half top 10 games are sandbox).

Good luck another time, and sorry for my engrish :geek:
Thanks for the supporting words! I will continue to develop the game without getting discouraged, and you certainly play a role in this. Thanks a lot! :giggle: :love:

Thanks to some very nice members here at F95 probably soon Engrish will not be a problem! :geek: haha

Game looks good enough, but I can't recommend because of the sandbox with energy/hunger/etc. Might be worthwhile once developed enough so the sandbox doesn't feel too empty, but it'd be quite a rough start if continues like this.

Hello, thank you for your feedback. :giggle: The game still really needs more content, I am working on it.
I had to release it to start getting feedbacks, it would be terrible to lose hours of work and see that I could have improved simple things.

Completely understandable. It's just my personal opinion that heavy sandbox is hard to get things started because there are too many empty spots during the early game. Sandbox is good in a full game where players have the freedom to choose and able to pursue the content they want in a non-linear way, but it's much less effective in the early game, or if the game proceeds in a linear way. If you aren't set in sandbox mode, it might be worthwhile to consider whether the sandbox method actually improves the game or not. Obviously it's all up to you though. Good luck :)

any walkthroughs?
Hey, I haven't done a walkthrough yet. But basically you can explore the rooms of the house and you will meet Claire and 3 girls.
Claire will mention that you can go to the market to get some food.
There you talk to the fourth girl. You make a date and after 19:00 you manage to meet her at the market and your date with her begins!

That's it, you can still explore the city map a bit. Just to get to know some of the many places you might explore in the near future.

Stay tuned for a bug fix coming soon along with an amazing improvement in the writing of the dialogs and the story in general.

You can check details in the Patreon posts!

Thanks for your interest in the game!

How tired of these endless versions of games 0.1 .. Most die in the bud and only the game tape is polluted ..
