Thank you very much for your comments. My English is limited, but I'll do my best to write the best story I can. I hope you'll give me the opportunity to try out this demo version of the game, perhaps it has other points that might appeal to you.
My bad. I didn't get any notification that you replied. That's been happening a lot lately. I probably fiddled around with one of the settings at some point without even knowing.

I'll for sure be giving this one a shot.

No! It's not an NTR game. These are isolated scenes that reflect the MC's broken past. Thanks for letting me know about the problems with capitalization of the letters. I'll fix that.
Watching the daughter get railed and (after checking the image files) a black gangbang...

Nothing says like loving LI like fucking another dude, and getting gangbanged by BBC (when MC is white).

With content like that, the "It's not an NTR game." becomes irrelevant for anyone that cares.

Thank you for your comment. Criticism and suggestions are always very welcome. The project is only just beginning, there will be a lot more gameplay elements later on. The game is a visual novel, so having options for paths to follow that have an impact on the story is the focus of the gameplay. But yes, there will be stats and skills to use in the near future of the game. I hope you'll stick with us.
I was just kidding, bro. What I was trying to say is I hope there will be a Mac version to try.

Lasted 20 seconds and then deleted it.

Probably needs the 'AI CG' as around half the game consists of AI generated pictures, all males (outside of the vids) and all backgrounds.

Size to content ratio is really bad, over 1g but barely any content. Recommending to convert vids and pics to webp and webm to reduce size of future downloads.

Biggest problem I noticed was dead ends and the lack of options....Options was a dead end, and did NOT have a mute button or volume slider, which should be the very first thing you make sure works when deciding to have sound in the game. Gallery was also a dead end, and like the options menu, needs a back button.

Could have been good, but introducing a large cast of gorgeous women, with only content for two is just sad.

Overview:
Side Effect is a visual novel-style game, developed in Twine, which aims to deliver a story rich in detail and with several options for paths to follow. At first, the focus of the project will be on introducing the main characters and building the basic relationships between them and their possible conflicts. In this story you will play a complex man, a writer and former literature teacher who now co-owns and administers the prestigious Riverton High School.
In Riverton, a vibrant yet quaint city, you, at 44 years old, are emerging from the shadows of a debilitating eight-year depression. Thanks to a groundbreaking experimental medication, you find yourself reinvigorated, ready to reclaim the life that once slipped through your fingers. From a shadow of your former self, you are now filled with a newfound zest for life—and an unexpected side effect: an insatiable desire that seems to have awakened after years of dormancy.

good cast a story that has variations of choice, about the language also English is not my native language, they criticized him because of lack of experience and the language because of English, always try to improve the story of the characters so as not to be aimlesstake the good criticism and GOOD LUCK IN THE PROJECT.

Stepdaughter in a gangbang and your wife cheated on you? yeah, nah...FUCK, NO!!
Thanks for the heads up. That's a very easy ignore...

I'd just like to say that the two pieces of information you've given about the story, which are spoilers by the way, are part of the background of the characters mentioned, which doesn't mean that they'll be recurring elements in the game.
Doesn't really matter much if it's not recurring, if it's not meant to be a cuck/ntr game then it seems very unnecessary.

The step-family thing is not just a concern for Patrion which, theoretically, shouldn't take down content with other terms, as it doesn't break the law.
It doesn't break the law, but Patreon is still removing that content because they're dumb. They go along Mastercard and VISA's wishes, who think the kind of content your game shouldn't be supported by their platforms. Yes. it's stupid, but it's the way it is.
It depends. Speaking solely of the US, I think nearly half the states expressly define various degrees of 'stepcest' as illegal.

Having read some of the comments, BUT not having tried the game, I decided to delete the game before even trying it. I have now played the game.

1. If you can't be trusted to add the correct labels/tags to your game (particularly when it comes to potential love interest and their interactions with the opposite sex (in this case the NTR/Cuck stuff with the Wife, and the...whatever you want to call the Daughter being GBed by BBCs)) then you come off as dishonest. This content has been rewritten. There is still infidelity, and broken trust. Technically (according to this websites tags) this game should have the "Netorare" (or NTR) tag. Whether the games Dev adds it, or not, will speak volumes about their integrity.

2. It is an automatic turn off when a new dev has barely started their game and is already locking content behind a pay wall. Focus on your passion for making the game, prove yourself to be a dedicated (and competent) game dev, and then IF your game proves to be of a high enough quality to merit some form of payment add it. BUT even then it is WAY better to avoid locking content behind pay walls. Earlier access to current versions of the game, participation in polls about future development, ect. are less offensive things to tie to financial support IMO.

Good Luck in the future, but unless I come back in the future and read about how the "Pay Wall" has been removed (and the content that is a big NO from me NTR, Cuck, ect. as well) I'm gonna give this one a hard pass. The only reason I even bothered to post this is to give the feedback since you're new and asked for it.

Not sure wether is due to the complains of the music, but i noticed the video's dont have audio.
This might be due too copyrights..but it makes them just glorified gif's.
Because of this, i lost interest in playing.

In my opinion one of the many games on here that really struggle at the "have at least somewhat decent writing" hurdle. Characters give strong "talking like a chat bot" vibes, even though grammar and proofreading is technically mostly fine.
Basically syntax vs semantics. Many ESL games have proper grammar and stuff, yet they feel stiff and unengaging.

Yeah, paywalled content on a second release is a terrible idea. Good luck, but I'm out. Might be back if this comes back across the latest updates page and I see that it's removed, but there's a lot of red flags with this one.

Making a majority of your update Patreon supporter only is a GREAT way to ensure you never increase your patreon pool
Thank you for your comment. But your comment is not true. I released the demo of the game with only 3 scenes. This version has 18 scenes, only 4 of which are exclusive. The point is that you have to restart the game from the beginning. Because I rewrote several parts of the game. Anyway, thanks for taking part.

Thank you for your comment. But if you'd played the game instead of sticking to the comments your opinion might make sense. I understand you're debating ghosts. The game is in development, I'm listening to criticism and suggestions to improve the work. The game doesn't have the content you mention and the scenes that gave you this impression have been removed, rewritten and replaced. The game has no pay wall. It does have a small amount of exclusive content, which is only fair, since people who pay deserve a little more than those who have access for free.

Hello everyone, thank you all for your comments and participation. I just want to leave a few general comments here.

The game is in development, nothing is final and everything can be changed. I'm paying attention to the comments. I'm open to good ideas and criticism. I just ask that you do so with respect and common sense.

If you have any suggestions, I'd be very grateful.
If you make your suggestions on the Discord and there are more people interested in your idea, we can put it to a vote and apply it to the game.

If you want to criticize, that's fine too. But play the game first and then give your opinion. Otherwise you run the risk of commenting on things that aren't even in the game, or that were and aren't anymore. If you don't like something, politely suggest a change.

Finally, there are people complaining that the game has paid content. This is absurd! Of course the game has paid content. It takes work to make and it's only fair that I reward those who are investing in the game's production with exclusive content. The game has 18 scenes, over 140 clips and more than 320 passages. More than 80% of the content is free.

If you've played the first version of the game, start fresh, as most of the content has been made retrospectively, with several new scenes between day 1 and day 6.

Thank you all and see you next time.

If it's true that the cuck content has been removed/rewritten, then I'll give the game a try.

What's the nature of the 4 paid scenes? Are they just bonus scenes for your supporters or are they parts of the story locked behind a paywall?
