What a wonderful game! The development of the characters as this story unfolds is really well done. While I've never encountered a hetero male who was so willing to discuss their feelings, I really think the writing is excellent overall. I've only played through once so I don't know what role player choice has in how the story unfolds, but I will definitely play again to find out. Kudos to the creator of this really well made game. Thanks for the game!
thank you so much and i'm glad you enjoyed it. be sure to check out the revamp if you just played the original, i promise it's way better. i had no idea what i was doing when i started this thing and was very much learning in real time

As the game progresses, do the main characters become more feminine or is this something that doesn't exist in the game?

While I don't have a problem with feminine characters, I don't think i would do them justice in trying to write them. the characters in this story are pretty "bro" for the most party. there's a lot of teasing each other or playful jabs at one another. i would describe them all as very cis male acting. there is a ton of character development as the story progresses but nothing that i would describe that would be close to any traditional feminine traits. there's just a ton of other talented writers that would do a much better job than me at that so I'm gonna stick to what i know so that i dont create some inferior depiction of that.

heya melichuuu, wanted to respectfully reach out cause i saw your review and was a bit confused. are you sure you meant to rate this game? this is an existential coming of age story about a few college students, there's no "demons" or anything in it. the mc is just a regular dude that's struggling to accept his sexuality. there's also no corruption or attraction points like you mentioned. i agree, this story is very vanilla in terms of the adult content and it's very much a narrative story but everything else you mentioned seems to be describing a different game. just reaching out cause i've had a few people lately somehow rate the wrong game on here. thanks in advance.

love the writing and characters. only complaint is wish there was a shaved option body hair is a big turn off for me.
heya, thanks for playing and i'm really glad you like the story. also thanks for the compliment on the writing-- apparently i'm better at it than i thought i would be but it doesn't come easy so i really do appreciate you taking note of it.

in terms of the body hair, i kinda laughed because i'm the exact opposite. when i started this project back in 2017 every single one of these 3D games like this had shaved guys and i couldn't stand it. like you, i wanted a mod too but so it would turn the hair on, lol. so when it comes to the characters here, i was very much playing to my own taste. hell, i can be watching the beginning of some porn movie and if they finally whip it out and they're shaved, i shut it off. complete killer for me and i rarely watch any more. when you're the one that looks at these characters every day for years and years, you gotta like when you're looking at. that being said, I have considered something like that for the revamp but it would come much later. basically it quickly turns into an image nightmare and just a ton of extra steps for coding (probably not for a competent coder but i'm just not good at juggling things like that). rather than have it full game and basically double my workload, i've considered something towards the end or so but we'll see how i'm feeling. I've also considered just doing one giant update after the revamp is complete to add it as an option where i wouldn't have to juggle all the story and normal coding plus the shaved option, too. sorta just focus on one thing at a time. no promises but i'll also admit that it's selfishly not high on my priority list just because of my own personal taste-- but i haven't ruled it out completely once things are done

I really have to say I love the story. I only came out of the closet recently and I honestly feel like I lived a little of the experience that I had missed out on by playing your game. I loved the characterization and, by the end, I really found myself learning more about the characters and seeing them as people rather than just a CG.

This game was the first game to introduce me to this entire space. I've tried looking for other games but you truly made something special :).

Thank you so much!

thank you for the kind words and the kink review you left. i really appreciate it and i'm honored to be your intro to the genre. also, congratulations on coming out. i dont know how your experience was but i hope it went well and i hope you have someone (or lots of someones) in your corner supporting you. for me, i think everyone moves at their own pace based on their own views, the support, dynamics of family or caregivers, the cultural around you, and even financial status. it's such a complex thing for people-- so regardless of your circumstance, i applaud your courage and i only wish the best for you.

this game is pretty unique with the slow burn aspect and i know that's not for everyone but i found, that when i started writing this: that's what i wanted. i think the slow burn makes things matter. maybe even your own experience that you stated, in feeling like you "missed out" gives you an appreciation for things others may take for granted. but thank you so much for playing and for the review and yep, the game will always be free. there's enough greed in the world, we dont need it here. plus, i had no clue what i was doing when i started and there was no way i was gonna charge people for my nonsense while i figured it out :p


Is there no Android update? Thank you
yep. there's an android link on the first page with the other downloads. however, there's usually no version number on the android port so it will probably look exactly like the last one. also, don't look at the download size and assume the bigger one has more content. buddy of mine recently crunched my files sizes down a bit and shaved like a gig off so the newer versions are actually smaller without a drop in quality. but that should be the newest one (revamp 14.0 currently) on page 1.

Looks promising. Although I don't really like guys with body hair either, but you're the author, it's up to you to decide.
