Did you forget that you're playing a porn game?

I hate when people say it is a porn game? And? Porn games can have amzing stories if they want to. I am with the other comment it felt silly that they were talking about pasports in what state the world is.

I don't disagree that some of these can have good stories, but it doesn't change the fact that these are adult visual novels at the end of the day... also known as "porn games". And the dude was ranting about realism involving a blowjob scene... in a porn game.

Bottom line... I wouldn't nit pic too much over the passport thing when there are far more important things to focus on in this game... Namely Anais's gorgeous tits and big thicc booty.

Man, I don't get this people, they think they are such a huge critics when they judge the story and quality of the game based on such a small minute fucking detail and base their entire opinion around that, LOL.

While I don't agree with this particular nitpick, stuff that happens in the world of the MC, is stuff that happens, that's just the reality of the fantasy world the Dev has built (whether you like it or not). But, it is one of the problems of being an immersive player, rather than following a story. And it's not as simple to say don't immerse, I can't just do that, and suspect most immersive players are the same. For example, I get really frustrated when the MC, does, says or thinks stuff that I just wouldn't do, it can really kill the immersion and the enjoyment in the story. Some things can be deal-breakers for me. But in saying that, they always revolve the MC for me, not the fantasy world.

I play these types of adult visual novels for the story and characters. I'm not interested in the lewdies, which limits my selection. Primarily it's the horror genre that draws me and yes, I too can get immersed in the story just like reading a good book. While there are some jarring details or plot content we might not agree with, going on a "realism" rant because of the "passports" made me laugh. It's a game! the creator is not like some famous novellist who should have known better "becuz plot details..."

The comment about Anais having "ugly hair" also made me laugh. Some guys take these games a bit too seriously.
If it was a book or game they have paid for, sure I could understand being a bit annoyed, but we are scurvy pirates sailing the lewd seas on here. Now let me prepare a nice steaming hot cup of cocoa to soothe the anger...where on the dolly did the bad zombie touch you?

I guess I don't relate. I always play these VNs as if I'm a fly on the wall so I don't place myself as the main character. When I make choices in the game, they're what I think the MC would make, not necessarily what I would make. Come to think of if it maybe it's because of my reading preferences. I'm a big reader, but not much on video games. And when it comes to books, I've never been fond of first person narratives and I despise second person narratives in books. So it's probably the same thing.

Either way though, my approach to these VNs has always been the same. My interest is good characters that I can give a shit about, hot girls, hot sex scenes, and impressive art. A good story is a bonus but for me, it's not the most important thing. The story is important only insofar as bringing the characters together because the money is in the character interactions.

If I like the characters, then the details of the story - like this passport business - are significantly less important. So I afford a fuckton of poetic license to these devs. Besides, most of them are hobby writers anyway, so there are going to be inaccuracies from time to time. Not worth nitpicking over.

Absolutely agree with the world stuff. This is the world, I as MC have been thrown into, so anything that differs from reality is completely fine with me. The passports in this world are what they are. For me, it's more about, OK, what would I do (rather than what would MC do). It's just the way I've always been, I don't even think about it, it just happens. I've always inserted myself into books/movies too (even if they're not first person). There's a few AVNs, I have been able to disassociate myself from the MC, but not that many, and I have to make a concerted effort to stop myself.

In saying that, no problems at all with this one.

In a dystopian world like this, living under a military regime, it makes sense that some form of ID would be required to distinguish between citizens and non-citizens. Refugees would likely face discrimination, as military regimes tend to prioritize their own citizens over immigrants or refugees. The main character might be worried about this, especially given how nationalist and authoritarian regimes in South America have historically been. It wouldn't be surprising to see something like this, particularly with the refugee crisis the country is dealing with.

is there an updated walkthrough?

The WT/Gallery mod on the op is updated, the pdf wt is on hold since mrbubu went on holiday.

Tbh, can see it but doubt it would be really be a national thing like it feels ingame and more a refugee thing. Like the city is getting flooded with people from there country too making it harder for everyone.

Like think a city in a zombie world would love to have all people working. A working pass would have been better then a pasport because in your example what would a US passport help him to get a job in a military regime in a country he has no ties to, Also it seems it was no problem in the end.

To me it felt out of place to ask a refugee from another country for a passport that would not add anything because it is not like the random dude on the phone is in contact to check the stuff on the passport with the US,

That is why I think you are right for sure with what you said but think it would have made more sense if the goverment is giving out work permits and refugees get the shity stuff and people from cities and go on get the better stuff,

I don't know, that would probably happen in the US, but having lived during the "Condor pakt" regime here in the south cone, It was that US passport or an European passport, what brought you the "better" jobs, as being someone of that respective country.

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a good weekend!


This week, I've been fully working on several adult scenes for the next update. So far, I have three scenes almost ready with plenty of renders, this time I've been adding more first person views as that was missing. Right now, I'm working on their animations which will take some time. I'm not posting the images here to avoid spoilers, but I will be updating the sneak preview folder on Patreon soon, I will let you know in a post.

I've also been uploading progress on these scenes in the Patreon section on Discord while I work on several scenes, in case you want to check them out and even give some feedback. I post often there as it's easier to use a spoiler tag or sections, as sadly, Patreon does not have that feature and I don't want to spoil it for people who do not want them.



An event that happened this week:
I had a small inconvenience this week as one of my main SSDs died. I got a blue screen of death, and the PC wouldn't boot until I removed that SSD. Luckily, it was the SSD and nothing worse. It seems the SSD came defective from the factory, as I bought it less than a year ago— a 2-terabyte SSD where I stored my textures. Fortunately, I learned from the last time this happened, and now, since I had a better budget, I have several backups, both online and on some HDDs, so I could recover all of it. It's been a good investment to keep all my files safe in case of any emergency.

When this happened to me for the first time more than two year ago, I didn't have a budget for any sort of backup, so I took a big hit, having to rebuild everything. Luckily, thanks to that, Anais, Alice, and other characters turned out better than how I originally created them, especially Alice. She was very different before releasing the game and it seems people like her final design.

But luckily, this time, I had everything backed up.

The skins of my characters are the things I protect and back up the most, as I made them myself with a lot of effort, so I'm glad they are alright.

Something I've learned since I started this is that storage is one of the biggest challenges when creating games like these. We work with a lot of heavy files, and sooner or later, SSDs tend to die. And they're not cheap either.

So, it was a good idea to invest a lot in storage.

Sorry for not making this post earlier. I was installing Windows and backing everything up again, as that SSD failure corrupted my Windows as well. So, I've been setting up my workshop again.

Thanks so much, everyone, for supporting this project! Without your support, I don't know what I would have done. And I really hope you enjoy the next update that I'm working on. Also thanks so much to all the people following this project.

Welp, just finished my first playthrough. I gotta say that I really love the writing the most.
Characters are very well rendered and I hope for more Valentina, Cyan and Abigail in the next episode.
