In-game hint system is good enough, in my opinion.

In-game hint system is good enough, in my opinion.

I completely agree. Why does everyone want everything handed to them on a plate? I admit to being lazy as fu... but even I want some kind of challenge in a game. I know some want to escape real life but cumooon... At least spend some time figuring out what you might need to do. It will end up being far more satisfying in the end.

I generally agree, and I figure the in game hints are walkthroughs. Even the ones that just have some sort of bio that you can check the points you're gathering.

But, without hints, for me it depends on whether the results of choices are clear. When you find some choice from the beginning ends up with a bad result, it isn't fun. I either have to restart or quit. Especially irritating when it seems like we're just choosing a kink. Hours into one game, while avoiding pregnancy, I suddenly got a game over because I didn't have enough pregnancy points. That's not a challenge, it's just pretending that you can play a two ways.

In this game specifically, the in game hints (walkthrough?) guided me into the right choice I never would have made. So, the in game walkthrough seems enough for me so far.

 

[DavyCroquette]

I'm generally against using cheats. In this game, there are no wrong choices. I created this gallery mainly so you can see if you've viewed all the scenes and paths in the game. For me, the best way to play is to make your own choices. Then, once you've finished the game, look at the missing images in the gallery and try to unlock them. If you unlock all the images in the gallery, it means you've seen all the story branches. Especially since the branches are complementary and connected, they all provide information that gives you a different perspective between the path you took and the one you decided not to follow.

Well of course YOU would say that, you're the dev .

Seriously though, you've got a good game going. A well written and interesting story.

I don't usually use cheats except in sandbox games where you have to do the same things over and over to grow stats enough to move the story along.

Mid november is so overloaded with Steam releases, can't wait. I like that more and more devs drift from Patreon scam to more traditional sales model. Also Steam is much more user friendly, cloud saves, delta updates, being able to refund bad games, forums with guides, regional pricing. Only downside some devs try to break their games into seasons to grab more money, but I just ignore them, not worth a hassle of transfering saves or having split achivements.

Hope this game will be released on Steam also, worth purchasing just for bushes and anal alone, even if story is a mess
Maybe some fan will proofread english translation before Steam release, reviewers said that story makes much more sense in original french version.

- I plan to release my game on Steam once I’ve reached a substantial number of wishlists (I’ve set a target). If I don’t meet this target, the release is scheduled for no later than the end of 2025.
- Patreon is not a scam. For a developer, receiving monthly support through this platform is extremely encouraging. Personally, I prefer the Patreon model over direct sales, even if it brings in less money than traditional sales. It creates a more intimate connection with the audience, which isn’t there with a regular sale.
- As for Steam, the cloud save system and automatic updates are simply amazing!
- As for the English translation, it is constantly evolving.

Problem with Patreon as a customer it guarantees you nothing, it was intended as volunteer artists support, not as a way to gatekeep or sell content. Not to mention that recurring payments for monthly builds is just stupid, when someone who just subscribed will get same amount of content. Also you can support dev for years, waste like 200$, but still don't get complete game because the game was abandoned. Steam have Early Access for that reason, so you can refund incompete games no matter what, if they are abandoned.

Already wishlisted, might add from other 3 accounts if it helps
But yeah it sucks that Steam gave so much emphasis on wishlists and use it for recomendations. Sales are also a lot worse now, publishers know how many players wishlisted game and think about them as potential buyers, ignoring the fact that most of them wont buy without like -75% sale.
From gamers perspective it might be useful to start wishlisting games on separete price tracking site, at least bad ones to avoid demand inflation. It's not apply to indie or porn games tho, every good small games deserve to be promoted in pile of сhinese match 3 puzzes or japanese Miel shovelware.

I understand what you mean; that’s why I spent a lot of time with 3 or 4 contributors. At first, people don’t have confidence, and that’s totally understandable. Personally, I enjoy my game, and I didn’t make it for the money, so not finishing it is out of the question for me. Anyway, thanks for your interaction; it was interesting.

is there a gallery unlocker?

Not instantly, you have to play to unlock the images

I consider myself to be pretty good at solving mystery's but this game has been really fascinating. Just when I think I have it figured it out the game throws another curve ball and I start second guessing myself. It has been one of the most intriguing games I have played in a long time. With 800+ games you would think that I had seen everything but I guess that is not the case. There were a few times that I thought I would just stop playing because the game went in a really strange direction, but now, I am really glad it did not stop. The game just gets better and better.
The biggest issue I have now, is that I cannot get the most recent update. I bought the entire game on Itch.io with unlimited upgrades but the download fails every time. Every other download is 12 mb/sec to 30 mb/sec but this one is 55 kb/sec. I do not know what is going on with that. I have tried several times and it is always the same. "Download failed".

Thank you so much for your message <3 Regarding your purchase on Itch, that's very strange because the game is hosted on a dedicated server. I haven’t received any reports about download issues. Personally, I download without any issues at 95MB/s. Send me your email via PM if you still can’t download it on Itch. In any case, thank you for your message; it really makes me so happy!! Feel free to leave a review and add the game to your

I finally got the game. It took 3 hours and I had to sit there the whole time and restart the minute the download would fail. I do no know why this happened. It has never happened before. I checked the connection to other sites after the download and had no trouble getting over 22 MB per second or more. I do not know why Itch did not work this time. Hopefully this will be the only time that happens . Also, even though I do not use Steam, you have been on my wishlist since nearly the first day.
