I am actually a little sad this has been completed. I truly enjoy this game. Thank you for this, Artisan. And good luck with Hex. I am looking forward to it!
It's bittersweet for me too, since this game has been such a massive part of my life for so long, and it really hit me when I was writing the endings. I do plan to add more stuff over the next few years. And thanks! I know Hex is similar but also very different in important ways, but I hope most of the people who like SS will like it.

By the way, just something small I want to mention too is when I first started a new game on this version, after seducing and sucking off the tutorial guard, he stole my clothes. I imagine that is not intended behavior, so you should be aware of it, but it was also very funny.

All that aside, the game was very good and I enjoyed every bit of it.
That's not supposed to happen, lol. I'll see if I can fix it. I'm glad you liked the game! Thanks for the bug reports.

A cheat system exists in the patron edition of the game. I have no plans to bring it to the free edition, though there is nothing stopping users from using cheat engine or the upcoming mod tools to create their own cheats.
You should add it to the free version since its completed

I'm still planning to add more stuff to SS, plus I might do like a box-price version on Steam. I think the box-price version will have all/most of the patron only stuff like the cosmetics and cheats, but I need to talk it over with my patrons.

You can try offering a product key to each patron for it, if you can get it on steam with the patron features, as that is an option.

This is the plan. Patrons over the dollar amount the game ends up being priced at will get keys if I do the box-price version.
Is this game legit completed? I'm always shocked to see the black on blue on a project I've seen before.
It is completed. I'm not sure what exactly you're asking, though. There are a few small things I still need to add/fix so I guess development isn't completely over. I also plan to add some additional post-game content and maybe a few silly non-canon side stories, but the game is complete and fully playable through the entire story, and has some post-game content and NG+. It has 5 story chapters, 34 side quests, 3 major romances, about 6-ish endings depending on how you count them, and over 80 different activities. It's well over 600,000 words in total (I think it's like 621k to be precise, but don't quote me, I'd have to check).

They're probably asking because most games get canceled or half passed ended.

I'm happy to hear that. Congratulations on finishing a project.

A great game. The art looks good, off-putting events can be disabled and Paige is a well written cheeky little semen demon.

However there are a few things that stand out:
- the game lags like it is dropping frames all the time.
- I kept all the Reputation scores low to do a sneaky succubus approach ("innocent", "clumsy", "upstanding"), but it still says "Reputation: People see Paige as a skank" anyway.
- the journal hints are a bit vague. For example, when you just arrive in town, it says you should talk to Roland, but you probably don't know or don't recall who he is or where to find him at that point.
- a few minor grammar mistakes. During the maid academy recruitment dialogue, the woman says "you" instead of "your".

This is probably because of the autosaving, you can configure the game to autosave less often in the settings, and that should improve things. That's my best guess, at least.

Yeah, the overall reputation is actually just based on the amount of lewd acts you do and it only goes up (the other reputations tend to decay over time). I've thought about trying to change it because it doesn't really do what people think it does. Maybe I will someday, but there are other systems that depend on it, so it'd be hard to do. I can at least maybe try to change the flavor text to something more neutral.

Depends on what "Reputation" actually does. As is, I can only assume that a bad "Reputation" makes other characters treat Paige worse and that it locks me into or out of some content, which is not what I want.

Maybe "Reputation" is the simply the wrong word? It kind of sounds like you mean "Experience" - a neutral character stat that only goes up and unlocks things.

Edit: also, disabling autosave didn't fix the lag.
Edit2: another small grammar error, when talking to the guard in front of Wimbol's manor after visiting the bandit camp. Guard says "So, you knew in town?" when it should be "new".
Edit3: if you press the 1 hotkey too often during the flashbacks to skip ahead, the game gets stuck in the grey static signal screen.

I beat the game in NG+ now and am fairly certain that an infamous "Reptutation" doesn't cause negative events.

It's also interesting that different routes lead to different content. There are some rather emotional moments too.
Of course, Paige carries the entire game on her back, although design-wise I strongly prefer Rachel because I have a thing for edgelord girls. So I was a little bit disappointed that Rachel doesn't have any H-scenes, or at least none in the routes that I played, but that's understandable from a story perspective.
Rachel could get her own prequel game honestly, one that's all about the years that happen off-screen. I wonder what the H-content of that would be. Paige is a playful seductress and a massive bottom, where as Rachel is no-nonsense mind-controller with self-esteem issues. Hmm...

It's not really negative per se, I guess it is more like an experience value than a social reputation. I'll think about how I want to rework it.
It doesn't really, it is more

There is quite a lot of branching, especially in the last two chapters.

There isn't any H content for Rachel at this point, but I'm not opposed to her being involved in lewd content as long as she and Paige don't...you know. I have an idea of how I want to do a Rachel activity, but it's just sort of a general concept in my head right now, I'm not sure if or when I'll add it.

A prequel with Rachel is a cool idea, I have thought a little about it, but Rachel just isn't as slutty so I don't know if she can carry a lewd game in her own right as the playable character, though some sort of standard corruption plot could probably work decetly. One weird idea I had was making a standalone "isekai" expansion where a player from the real world gets truck-kun'd into the world of SS, but finds themselves as Rachel just after chapter 3 and has a limited number of "turns" to fix everything and make peace with the protagonists before they come to kill her, and being a player of the game justifies why this isekai'd Rachel is suddenly a horny semen gremlin. As to whether I'll make something like that; who knows. I have my hands full with my other game right now and this is just an idea I jotted down.

We know that Rachel had a temporary home among the witches in the forest and they're the lewdest faction in the game. I don't think corruption is the right direction for Rachel though, she is a very stubborn and consistent character from start to finish. You're right, she would reject romantic advances, except perhaps a short-lived fling with someone very persistent who actually cares about her, right before she goes back to vengeance business.

That said, Rachel wouldn't even need to do most lewds herself. For example, you could have her recruit an rpg party of evil-doers who all hate the king. Let the sidekicks do most of the lewd content. At the end, have some of the party members betray her by switching sides. That way you have a way to explain why she is alone in the next game, how the king got his hands on the means to banish her and why Rachel hates everyone and not just Pelenor and the king.

Rachel's lewd scenes could have her be a massive tsundere, or stoic in the sense of "I only do this because it helps my plans", or aggressive due to her nature as a rage demon (angry+subsist on human flesh and pain = she probably has a thing for biting people).

One weird idea I had was making a standalone "isekai" expansion where a player from the real world gets truck-kun'd into the world of SS, but finds themselves as Rachel just after chapter 3 and has a limited number of "turns" to fix everything
I don't like this approach. There is no reason to throw the current canon under the bus.
