What I think is if you do, please have a way of skipping the minigames. Just not a fan of minigames in these kind of games.

Here are instructions to fix the bug for those who've already played chapter 6 and hence won't benefit from a patch:
- Enable the developer console using UnRen (Windows, Mac/Linux)
- Load up your save at the end of chapter 6 (not earlier!) and open the console with Shift + O
- If you want to remove the curse and generally be polite/good, copy & paste the following to the console:

Personally, I'm not very interested in minigames because I don't think they add much to the plot.
I wrote this as a joke at the time but it seems like something that may one day become a reality.
Mmm, that would have been interesting to see, I admit, although I already assumed that the sexual aspect of the game is in the background, perhaps they will address it in the second season.

Sorry to bring this up again, Barbiecued, but it's the case in the latest release: There's no bi path, just str8_path = "Yes" and str8_path = "No" which is treated as lesbian path, and no way of later telling if a player selected bi or straight.
Huh, I was playing the game while reading the code (don't kink-shame!

It's meant to be that way. I think I explained this before in the forums, or it could be on Patreon. At the time, three different paths wasn't working for some reason so I decided to use straight path as open to more/bisexual the same. If you want to play it straight you can, but have the option to some girl-girl scenes without EmmaxJenny storyline. Lesbians generally don't want anything to do with the sausages, so I decided their path should be the "clean" path (in lack of a better term).

I've made a patch and sent a request for update to the mods. I'm sure they'll add it to the page the next coming days. It will be patch only or the full version 1.6.1. Here's the links to the patch only for now:

Yeah. I don't want them to be disruptive to the playthrough. I generally thought this was something people wanted, so that's why I planned for it, but if it's something no one actually likes I'm not going to go through the effort of adding it and focus on pathing instead. Thanks for the input!What I think is if you do, please have a way of skipping the minigames. Just not a fan of minigames in these kind of games.

I honesty don't mind, as long as I am not being forced to play them. I have seen some games on here that just before the start of the minigame for example, it would give the choice of "Play Minigame" or "Skip" and picking Skip allows me to go past it as if it was completed. That sort of thing, I am cool with. It gives those who like that a chance to play it, and those like me who isn't a fan, a chance to not worry about it. A win win on both counts.Yeah.

Completed the game thus far. Really liked the premise and world. Shocked that MC got killed so fast. In fact, game reached chapter 6 really fast, I am wondering why game is almost 5GB. Feels like I am missing some major route and content during my playthrough.
Related to that thought is how on screen narration often does not match the visuals. The narration will often described a character looking a certain direction or in a certain pose or posture but the visuals do not change. Or they may change a little bit down the line. Just makes me wonder if visuals were made and in the package but not added to the script.
I echo the sentiments that the best thing about the game is the premise and story so minigames would detract from that. For example, if the fight between the holy hunter and the demon became a minigame but due to the story it still ends like what is currently in the game, the whole effort just feels wasted and redundant. Using minigames for a pass/fail check is boring and for me would be a lazy attempt to pad gameplay time.
I do really think the story is interesting enough that the developer should really focus on that, backed up by the visuals. At least have those strongly in place with the ending locked in before spending energy on other things like minigames. And it definitely needs more “erotic” in this erotic thriller story.

Is this a regular thing on this site? I don't understand this point of view of complaining about something that could easily be avoided by simply taking ten seconds and reading the tags before downloading a game. I get that you want to try new things, and that's cool, but you should probably be prepared to be disappointed if you're looking for sexual gratification every time you pick up a book, watch a movie or play a game.

This is turning out to be pretty amazing. The models (Emma's family are my favorites), the story (which is the strongest point), and the renders are excellent. While it does lack the "porn" element for now, it makes up for it with outstanding story and world-building. For me, story > sex, knowing we'll eventually get there is enough.
The only "negative" for me would be the multiple points of view; I usually prefer to see the world through the MC's perspective. However, here it doesn't bother me much because the scenes are still interesting and well-written, so it actually adds a lot.

Yes, it’s very common here. Another iteration is the negative reviews because a particular flavor is included they hate, even when it’s in the tag list. My favorites are the ewwww “female mc” complaints when they can easily never see them in a search. You just learn to skip over it, though I’m sure it’s grating as a dev.Is this a regular thing on this site?

I really like your game and how much time you dedicate to the story itself, I prefer a well told story than just a game with random sex. I'm all for the slow burn. And I'm here for the lesbian route,
so I hope you keep up the good work and succeed in your new ideas for the game, good luck

+1 for no mandatory mini-games please
Thank you very much for the VN that seems to be shaping up nicely, and for taking in the feedback of your players. I hope that Jenni can somehow come back later to Emma and her sister Sarah in a happy end of sorts, but we'll see. As long as it's properly scenarized, I'm pretty open to any well written story.
EDIT : Also major props for aiming to finish the first (main?) route of the game first, before getting side-tracked by other routes (or silly animation requests that no doubt will happen in the future). Can't wait for more!

Fair point, still doesn't explain how you can play a game for hours and not take ten seconds to read the description first. Continue flapping about the forum and spreading joy, I guess.Yeah, my bad, I though I was in a pirate porn forum but somehow I ended in the local library

Can't wait for the Emma reunion on the non-straight paths, though I can't say i wasn't disappointed at first with the decision to kill the MC.

PS: Please don't take any offence from this, i mean well here. I write this because i realise this could feel abruptly cold to read and it's not my intention. It's my very honest opinion as someone who enjoyed what you created and wish you the best to continue.
I really liked the game, it was great ! It's too bad that it's visually lacking but it is what it is.
I'm not sure i would agree with your choice of going back working on what's already done tho. I think it would be better to continue the story. It just feel like whatever improvements you gonna make won't really make a difference honestly. Unless it's to remake everything and upgrade it to the current top visual standards. Which doesn't seems in your capacities if i can allow myself to be blunt. Either because of hardware limitations or skills or a bit or both. Please don't take it badly it's just how i feel and i think your game is great a stated earlier. It looking "dated" didn't prevent me to enjoyed it greatly.
I really liked the world building and the story. I'm intrigued and interested to see where this is going. It seems that Jen gonna get her body back which is a small victory and it's nice, she is a cutie. It also turn out that she is a very powerful entity (very strong magic bloodline + her connection to the Griogori "demon"/entity thingy) and she gonna have some help for her "GF" clan/family but with everything and everyone seemingly coming for her it's seems unlikely that it ends well for her at this end of the story *sadface*. Poor thing didn't do anything in her life to remotely deserve anything that happening to her lol. Anyway, we'll see what happen as they say.
Last thing, a question.:
What your plan for the story (jenny story) in term of length? Something "short length" (just a season 2?) or something longer ? Just curious. Cheers !
