Appealing doesn't just refer to looks.
It also relates to the way they act and speak.
As I mentioned in my post above, along with being about a 5 in looks [aka: not ugly, repulsive or repellent but also not attractive enough to garner 'pretty-privilege'], Sofia is not particularly "adorable" in the way she acts or speaks and so I don't consider her appealing either.

Being fit, feminine and friendly can actually often out-weigh looks [as long as she isn't straight-up ugly, repulsive or repellent] as far as attraction-triggers are concerned from a man's perspective as it relates to relationships.
I actually find her repugnant... skinny, no curves, plain, and terrible personality. The fact that the MC is forced to sleep with her is a huge turn off. Guess this one is missing the kinetic tag... some player agency would be nice.

Models are average but not bad, good enough for me to play since I prefer story over renderá but in this case the story just isn't appealing for me right now.

Dead Father check.

Alive mom check but unfortunately no incest.(for my personaly that is a huge turn off)

Sophie honestly in insufferable, so going to live in your "bully" house, where she treats you like shit, she is a complete ass to you too. Honestly would prefer to stay under a bridge a few days till get another house.

The mc mom not even letting the mc stay at her place just made her look like a trash mom for me, she evens says that she isn't cold-hearted so she will pay your first month but live with her is a big no no since she remodeled your old bedroom to a fitness room, if she wasn't trash she would not deny her house to her own son and send him to a house where is someone he dislikes a lot. You could have hinted that mc mom knew something about Sophie past and that's why she would make the decisions to send him there, it would give mc mom a better "face" not good because she rejected to give roof to her own son anyway but at least would not be just dropping mc in someone house that he don't like.

This is more kinetic than anything since you can't reject anyone, the bj from Liz was weird as fuck, you barely exchanged 2 sentences with her and she is already sucking you dick.

With Sophie is rushed as hell too, insufferable bitch then you help her one night she get all cute and nice to you, barely no more content to show any increase in their relationship and you are forced a sex scene with her and they are already saying I love you. Weird and no input of the player.

Susan I really disliked mc inner monologues about her in the coffee shop, from the litle screen time she had she is 100 times better than Sophie but witouth player input you have mc thinking that about her when Sophie is the insufferable one.

It has is pros and cons, while the renders are average they aren't that bad as some say, sure weird expressions and some more but for someone starting is good enough .
Story is forced in some aspects and it's rushed in certain aspects, weird decions.
Used a bit much the "a few weeks later" with that you didn't allow mc and Sophie relationship progress to reach where it is right now, it just goes from her being insufferable to bang her pussy and no real relationship progression, no development between them and no reason to make us lik her with that. Next probably would be Susan with Sophie at last, Liz model and hair is too overused for me not really a fan of her from the neck up.

Weirdly for me the hotest chars was the mom and the blonde from the porn so with that the hotest models for me are already excluded because no incest and the other was from the porn.
Maybe another haircut would be better for Sophie for example, she seems just a bland character and more npc lookwise than LI.
I think rethinking some parts of the story is much more important than getting better renders for now. As it is right now at least for me and my way of seeing things it doesn't make much sense mc behaviour and parts of the story. You couldn't grab me for any LI too, Sophie already explained, Susan barely no screen time but you already have mc making opinions alone about her without player input, Liz well that's was so weird that make her come more across like a slut than anything else, mom well no incest so doesn't matter li wise but yeah she didn't stay on a good light for my taste too.

I could be a decent game as a first game for you if tou tweak the story itself, learn from this one for the next one.
All in all it's just my opinion

Thanks for your feedback. I agree with several things. I know it's way too short and slow for most of the players, compared to the other games on the site. I mean... as you mentioned the "few weeks later" problem. Yeah, I see your point. I think I'll have more time this year. :) Till now, it was just some kind of a hobby which I made beside my job. In this year I would like to make this as a regular and full time thing. So I hope the next project will be way faster and longer. :D But first, I would like to finish this. :giggle:

I started this story thinking it was going to be about romance. Sure it's a porn game but I felt like I was hit by a Mack truck because of how fast everything went. The first red flag was that on the first night MC moves in Sophia left the door open and was masturbating. It didn't make me like her any more or feel more attracted to her. It did the exact opposite because now she is a slut or really stupid. There was absolutely no way that she wasn't very aware that he was in the house with her and those two things are the only way I can explain her behavior. Then everything fast forwards without any interaction between the two and we now have him at his new job and are confronted by a blowjob we cannot avoid by someone we just met. At this point I feeling more like I was watching a porno than playing a game and I quit. I really wanted the story to be the primary thing and the sex to be a product of that but instead it felt like the reverse. I even then would have hung in longer except I am never willing to continue once someone forces sexual content on me without a choice. The MC is my Avatar and if I have no free will over who I am fucking then I am out of there.
I know that it is your first project and it was a much better offering than I see from a lot of people who are just starting out. You said you are not English so you did well for it not being your primary language. It was an interesting premise for a story. Also while I could see that you need to improve your renders they were pretty good for a beginner. I wish you the best. Keep going and I'll check out your next game.

Thank you for your honest opinion and your kind words. I hope you'll like my next project more. :)
As a beginner, it is really hard to find the balance in this genre. That's why these kind of replies are important.

FOR EVERYONE
I have a one last big project at my job (it takes about 1 and half month) and after that I want to make this as a fulltime job, so updates, oneshot games, deeper and longer stories will await you. And most importantly, much more often.

Wow that was short - the morning after with some talk, the day at work with some returned microwave and a conversation with the co-worker, the coming home, talking to roommate in the bathtube and then going to bed.
But don't take that as a complaint. It is still one of the better VNs here. Just a fair warning for people expecting a bit more to happen. :)

more than i'd expect for a 0.9 to 0.9.5 increment, that normally means bug fixes.

You are perfectly right. There was a missing command. Only works after the image is unlocked. I resolved the issue, I'll add at the next and last update.

Thank you very much for mentioning the problem. You were literally the only one who pointed this out. :)

Short updaye yes, but I wasn't expecting that much either as it was 0.9 to 0.95. So I even got more than what I thought! (y)

I think that Sophia is sexy and as it now has the tag kinetic so none could complain about sex with her. :sneaky:
