not bad for a start .. should have put in at least a handjob scene .. or oral sex ... would have gotta more attention to the game from the start .. jmo .... not that its wanted or needed .... good luck with your game
Its hard when you start with the left foot, and there is a lot of competition right nowThe Dev has 0 patreon making 0 money. Surprised he is still cranking on this game
I might consider playing this vn after this review of it. The art style is unique and is something that I find interesting and hearing there is a mystery has me in plus the girls from just the banner looks great.Honestly this was pretty good. It has a nice build up for some supernatural elements in the future, which with all the story talks, seems like it might happen. One thing I'd definitely suggest, is maybe a new title for the game? Sexual Interest doesn't really fit, unless you're just trying to have a porn-y name for no reason. I think just simply calling it Puritygrove would be better. It doesn't give off a purely aggressive sexual tone, and it fits better with what the game is actually about (since the game centers around solving the mysteries of Puritygrove).
MC is surprisingly mature, which is nice for a change. He has some moments where he can be a bit pervy, but it's not over the top like other games do. It's at least somewhat tasteful and not creepy. So A+ for that. Always nice to see a mature MC who isn't thinking with their dick all the time lol.
Some minor grammar errors here and there and some translation issues, but it doesn't make things hard to understand. Just a little clean up and it will be fine. The writing is actually well done regardless of that.
My only gripe is the forced sexting with Mandy. Not a fan of forced content like that. It just felt out of place and only added to tick a checkbox for lewd content. Maybe have that changed to be optional/avoidable? It just feels like a betrayal to Brianna to be doing that with her sister behind her back. I'd rather have the option to just say goodnight and avoid sexting her. Hopefully that stuff is always optional in the future (who we have sex/relations with).
Gotta get used to these graphics though. Usually not a fan of this style, but I've slowly been trying to get used to it. This is the second game so far that I've enjoyed with these graphics (other is Twinewood), so it'll take some time to get used to it, for me at least lol.
But yeah, otherwise, not too bad. Curious how the mystery element is going to play out, and if indeed it will have some supernatural element to it as well. But definitely enjoyed it so far. Thanks and best of luck with your project.
I second your opinions, Mr. Spyder.Honestly this was pretty good.
I guess it's good I stopped before that. I already noticed how linier everything was from a few of the "choices" where there is a list of one correct choice. I personally found it very boring maybe because every time you meet someone they give you their entire life story right out of the gate. There is no room to get to know the characters because you already know everything about them.What are the planned tags?
I was going to try this but the forced sex scenes stopped me. I don't play any game that forces a Li, a fetish or a sex scene on the player. That is a kinetic novel, without choices, not a VN. I wish you the best of luck and I will check back to see if you correct this with the next update.
27,632 words.Thought this was abandoned, wonder if it has enough content to actually play yet.
This should not be the usual time between updates as of now. More like 2 months. I will post the next one in less than 1 month, as it have already 13000 words.Oh great another game with updates every 6-9 months, just what we need.
I understand. I wanted to make something a bit realistic where sex means something, that's why I made it a slow burn. I'll think of making it more kinky.not bad for a start .. should have put in at least a handjob scene .. or oral sex ... would have gotta more attention to the game from the start .. jmo .... not that its wanted or needed .... good luck with your game
Thanks, this is certainly a good idea, I didn't know what I was doing when I chose that title. Being called simply "PurityGrove" is good I think, as you suggested. I'll think of it, this is something that I will have to do.One thing I'd definitely suggest, is maybe a new title for the game?
Others didn't like it too. Now that I think of it, I realize that it wasn't a good idea. I may have been carried away by the story I had in mind. Certainly something that I will have to correct.My only gripe is the forced sexting with Mandy.
Koikatsuwhat engine/art program is this made with?
Yeah, I published way too soon, I should have take more time to be more prepared. I'll post the new content soon with the true quality I'm capable of doing, to show people. I wonder if this is a good idea to continue this project with such a bad start or if I should make another one...Its hard when you start with the left foot, and there is a lot of competition right now
The game was tagged abandoned because I haven't posted anything for more than 3 months, but it's not abandoned in my mind.Speaking of abandoned
slow burn games are nice and all .. theres a ton of them .. they have to have great stories with them ... and most people i've found by reading the posts really don't like them that much ..Thanks for the comments!

v0.4 coming soon, almost finished. I'll begin to remake the beginning after it's publication but... it is the continuation so the "forced sex" part happened. I'll modify that latter...
I would continue and use it as a learning experienceYeah, I published way too soon, I should have take more time to be more prepared.

Thanks for reporting this problem.The absolute plethora of spelling mistakes that aren't a result of any translation program makes reading this painful. I think the story would be pretty good otherwise but misspelled words like "futur" instead of "future" shows that it isn't just a lack of grammatical accuracy but just plain (well to be honest, I don't know what). This needs to simply be put through a spell check.
