I tried to avoid Mother/Son incest... but she has a young Neighbour who could be her son from his ageSorry that Maria no have son 8(
Thanks for your feedback!I really like the premise and the story so far.
At some points the writing was a bit too long, I think, but overall decent I'd say. At some points quite funny and entertaining, in other points appropriately heavy.
The only real "problem" that I see is that there are no choices.
I understand that's what the dev wanted, so I have to respect that, but this could be so much better with choices, or at least, if choices would be introduced a bit later, because now everything is still more or less introduction.
*IF* Simon's purpose is to get the MC sufficiently out of her shell so that she'd *willingly* cheat on her husband then it would be great to have some paths. Personally I'm hoping for a pure lesbian path with the daughter, but I could also imagine a path with the neighbour kid or with a gang of blacks. But Simon forcing all of the above on her without player involvement seems a bit boring and would defeat the purpose and advantage of a game: giving the player the option to influence the story.
Also I do think she gave in to Simon a bit too easily. I see some people here in the thread are saying "he could kill the daughter" but Simon never threatened with that, the worse he threatened with was the daughter being gangraped in the shower. But that's kind of easy to prevent (don't take showers) so it's a bit lame. I realise that it's easy for me to say, but the threat could be put a bit more apparent and real, like some "accidents" almost happening to the daughter, e.g. near-collision with a car, falling bricks from a construction site, bullies molesting her at school, etc., with mom witnessing this live on camera.
You are right, I didn't think of that scene. Still, with a bit of common sense and awareness it would be easy for them to avoid such situations.Simon Actually threatened her life in a sense
If you feel that way, then you could still make it fairly linear but with choices to see or avoid certain content.I always feel that i miss something and i am also not a fan of replaying things just to see an alternate path. But that's just me and when you all think different then it's no problem to add some choices for you.
The reason why Simon showed her the stuff about the daughter was to make clear that he has influence and can do basically whatever he wants, whenever he wants with the Daughter because...You are right, I didn't think of that scene.

The problem is, that if Simon is doing this to get back at the husband, then different choices may have different effects on their relationship. For instance, fooling around with D is different from being gangraped.
Just please don't overdo it with the choices thing. They usually have a butterfly effect and depending on the outcome of each decision it might end up branching the game and double or quadruplicate the amount of work you have to do for each update, burning you out, frustrating you and making you lose motivation because even with all the choices and work people will still complain.But i can asure you all... i already have some good ideas about what choices to give you all and how to make them fit.
When people talk about content, it usually means "porn" content. While true that I spent (wasted?) an hour or so on this game, I would say 45 of those minutes were me half-skipping through some not at all interesting dialogue. Buildup is fine, but the bad dialogue, bad graphics and zero player interaction make this game basically a really boring text wall.Since it is being debated if the game has any content atall right now... all i can give is an estimate about the length: On average i would say you have a little over an hour of playtime so far.

I mean.. it's right there ... and additionally a look at the current tags should make it obvious that you will see some tits and maybe an ass but no fucking, no gangbangs or whatever people expect in the first 5 minutes of a new first release game these days.I planned the first release to be an introduction to the setting and the characters and it turned out to be rather lengthy...
Yeah I wish the 'skip' button workedI have never spammed the space bar more in a ren'py game than I have in this one.
