Holy Moly... no options menu? And this damn loud noise music and sound effect at the beginning...
my heart beat went to 220
:p Apologies. Options are at the bottom right once in game. :) Although that is after the alarm blares out at you. You can control the music from there though, I was going to add a warning about the sound, Slipped my mind maybe

Just a heads up to the Dev... you cannot save a game on the Mac build, it's trying to save to a location you don't have permission save to. This has suddenly become a common issue that has been popping up in new RenPy games, so you may need to talk to other devs about what caused it. My guess is either a change in the newer RenPy SDK or maybe this is only effecting users on the latest version of the MacOS. Either way the temporary "fix" for users is to go into the console fix the app privs, but that is not an acceptable long term fix, you can't expect users to have to correct an apps privilege errors each build... so I hope you can talk to some other devs to figure out the correct longterm fix for this.

I know this is a tech build so I do look forward to future updates, it looks well constructed interface wise (ignoring the hidden options that you already know about). The renders look great, love that main character (always a sucker for nicely done freckles!). So good luck going forward Dev, it's a nice tech demo start I think and I look forward to your next release.

I didn't know about the sounds because I'd had my system muted. Extremely bad form to include sounds without some way of controlling or muting them BEFORE they're played.
If I understand correctly you are complaining about sounds that you're not even listenning because your system is on mute. If people are bothered by that they surely can express themselves and don't need a psjw (porn social justice warrior).

While I'm sure @DeUglyOne doesn't need me to defend himself it doesn't appear that he is "complaining" about the sounds (since he doesn't appear to be hearing them). What he is doing is voicing an opinion on a decision by a dev to have loud sounds playing in the game without some way of turning them down before they play. Seems like sensible advice to me.

General thoughts: I liked the intro dream part, the writing related to the parasite is kinda fun, and there's at least a decent variety of (appearances of) characters in the game, even if none of them are really busty enough for my personal liking.

No idea where the game is going though, aside from the next story beat where the main character will
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

My suspicion, at least in the absence of any specific gameplay systems aside from time, is that this is going to follow in the footsteps of Man of the House in terms of needing a notebook to keep track of every character's move around the house, but without the robust events (yet) or the high quality 3D models.

If I could be so bold as to suggest, this needs a bit more time in the oven before the dev can reasonably expect more than a few interested people to back them on Patreon. Maybe it means rounding out the story with more events to fill in the day, or maybe it means adding in some gameplay systems to balance out how boring time management on its own can be in a game like this, but right now this game is really sparse and not a lot of fun to get through.

On a personal note: I hope there's some way that the main character ends up with her brother's dick in her. Not a requirement or anything, I just happen to strongly prefer heterosexual incest to lesbian incest.

We? Please, speak for yourself. I have no problems with playing as a female character. I can enjoy playing as both male and female in a game.
There has got to be at least 20 games with a male MC for every game with a female one, so it is not like you are lacking games to play.... Move on.
P.S. There are female gamers here as well, even more reason to speak for yourself

@TheNerdXXX
I really like your game. Pretty barebones now, but a promising start :)
Cute redhead MC... I'm sold :heartcoveredeyes:

it might be a steep task, but considering the overabundance of male-centric games, i would love to see a lesbian only path in the game. plz, i need something different now. dreams of desire and etc are amazing, just need oranges now, no more apples.

I agree, it would be really great if we could focus our attention on the mother and or sister as the female MC. There's enough games with the son as the MC already.
Considering what we know about the story so far, maybe TheNerdXXX could allow us on a distinct route to catch the brother before he uses the mind control or even use it on him and the girls ourselves.

Otherwise I also believe that the default interface and menus for Renpy should be restored again. I like the different clothing options, even though it will mean the game will be at least four times as big as if the change was automatic. But then there definitely needs to be a nude outfit as well, it's a porn game after all. Streaking around nakes at home would also allow for interesting dialouge with the other family members.

So annoyed at this, As the sleeping was working... Not sure how I managed to break it... Will investigate :)

So, yet another dev that removes default game mechanics that are defaults for a reason. You even went a step further by replacing an unobtrusive menu with garish buttons that cover most of the opening screen.

I didn't know about the sounds because I'd had my system muted. Extremely bad form to include sounds without some way of controlling or muting them BEFORE they're played.
Good call, I will add the options back into the main menu. :)

It's nice to know the rags version is remembered as well, I loved that version bug found the rags engine just too inflexible.

Off to work now... :( Stupid real life responsibilities.

Nice to see some positive feedback! and criticism is welcome, I'm trying to create a game for you guys afterall. :)

Thank You for the Upload N7! :)

And yes, The size is big. It's a side effect of the multiple outfits for each scene and character at 1080p resolutions, plus PNG files for transparency.
You can still export to JPG from PS even though you have used PNG :p
