Yeah just making it easier for a mouse only playthrough would solve almost all my qualms with your game! That and maybe not having to always wait for animations, but that's a minor issue for me.
Otherwise like I said, 5/5 good job.

Goddamned, never felt spooked while also being horny before.
Only a couple scenes, and even then, you have to make choices to reach those sort of scenes. As the story progresses and I update the game, there’ll be more specific times where Femdom is clear and present.
Unfortunately, the file size is too big for Itch.io to be played online. I do have plans to make it online in the future, but frankly, I have no clue how to do that LOL. Will do more research on the topic.
Hey, no worries, it’s on me for constantly pushing the walkthrough when the game should be played without the walkthrough. As always, I’m still learning and developing, so Snatcher! and the jobs will definitely get a few more changes in the future to make the line from A to B a little clearer, especially in the Ebrima job. I have to remember puzzle games are only fun when you have an idea on what to do and where to go.
Oh fuck, completely passed my mind on that one. I’ll definitely fix that, super big issue on my part.

Enjoyed it at first, then just becomes to tedious to work out all the passwords. Good premise, poorly executed for me.

Sorry Dev, I just gotta make this joke.
Is every update going to get a new extension of 1?
Prologue Ch.1, alpha, patch 1, rev.1, version0.1

Hey everyone!
Now, based on the both the comments and complaints, I've been seeing a trend: people like the writing/story/narrative content, but they don't like how difficult some of the hacking jobs/some FREE-ROAM events are, which are even causing some players to just give up and close the game, which is frankly last thing I want from anyone who decides to play what I've been spending a lot of time on.
So, I've been doing some soul-searching, and long story short... it's clear that I am not very good at making puzzle games (who would've thought?) Therefore, I've decided to upload a new patch that will somewhat address the issue a lot of people are having.
The new patch adds two game modes that can be picked before starting the game: Story Mode and Hacker Mode. Essentially, Story Mode affects the puzzle aspect of the game by taking out all passwords, codes, and other roadblocks that prevent players from finishing them (for example, hidden files are now shown, a password isn't required to enter Cathy's system or TheTrojanHorse, no need to search around Calypso's House for answers to the CrowAssistant questions); it allows for players to explore the jobs and their unique stories with ease, giving them freedom to check everything out, and then exit the job at their own pace.
On the other hand, Hacker Mode maintains the puzzle aspect by keeping passwords and codes, and requires players to find passwords and/or information by reading, exploring, and putting together clue from within a victim's system.
However, I do want to let you guys know that this a temporary solution to a much bigger problem - I'm adding these modes to hopefully give myself some time to reevaluate the puzzle aspect of the game; it's clear that my talent is in story writing, not puzzle developing, thus the modes give me some breathing room to fix the puzzles and let you guys enjoy the game without the stress of jobs that make you want to blow your brains out.
Of course, you can still play through the puzzles if you want, or you can focus on the story/porn - either game mode is optional. Currently, game mode switching during playing is in development since I have to evaluate how that'll affect the code, but for now, you pick your game mode before you choose your name.
I appreciate all the support, criticism, and compliments you guys have given me throughout this journey, and I promise I'm listening. I'm gonna be figuring out how to make puzzles less difficult, or if the game will have puzzles at all. However, the holidays are here, so don't expect too much too fast. Besides that, I hope everyone has a fantastic holidays! Stay warm wherever you are!
(Also, check the changelog for other changes).

Also, forgot to mention .sexe can now be played online via Neocities! Here's the link:
It probably won't be amazing in terms of load speeds for images, backgrounds, and videos, but for now it's a good alternative for online play since the file size is too big for Itch.io. I have yet to test it out, but let me know if there are any issues with it.

I liked the puzzles, it sounds like I'm in the minority tho. I think a story/hacker mode is a pretty good solution. Maybe adding optional hints could also be something to try?

No rev.1.
Very disappointed. Also, the unix-like prompts for the directory mini-game would be much better if enter worked, so that during the typing of commands, it would at least flow a bit better.
Teensy bit confused in what you mean by “No rev.1.” Also unless you’re playing the original game without the patches, then the directory mini game shouldn’t have anymore typing, just buttons executing commands.No rev.1.

Dev, I really like the puzzles. Especially one with
Being a software engineer myself I was pleasantly surprised. I felt the story, like I was really hacking. Amazing work here.
However a hint system could be useful. Couple of times I had to parse source html code. There could be an option to activate more hints in case if a player is stuck.

The puzzles weren't too annoying or anything. infact I find it to be the USP for this game, other then the highly polished writing\presentation (great job there dev man). I do think you could look into a memory system? like a profile tracker or something that stores all the details you have discovered about them, dates other passcodes etc. which might be used later. Would help with the "search" function as well.
I don't think I did a good job of explaining this.
Actually funny you should say that… I am currently in the process of making a memory/character/journal/history/whatever system inside the main character’s computer, so definitely something to expect in the next update or so!
Hey guys. Just want to quickly let you guys know that I’ve uploaded Patch #3, BUT only on the online/Neocities version. I have really shit Wi-fi where I’m at, so I won’t be able to upload the .zip or put it on the downloadable link until later, but when I do get better connection, that’ll be my main priority.
For now, new patch is super small.
* Added a version number to the beginning so you know what version/patch you’re playing
* Readded the BACK and FORWARD button to all relevant passages. Some passages don’t have them because they’re hacking jobs and already have a back button, and others don’t have them for story reasons
I’ll upload the patch links when I get the chance/the Internet LOL.
