This game is too short and doesn't have a good story and quality renders so I personally would just skip it as the ep 2 hasn't been released for 4 years .It is a completed game but ep 2 hasn't been released since 2020 as you can find comments on the devolopers profile, so I assumed that this game was abandoned and I will stick to my opinion that it is unless Mortze releases ep 2.

This game is too short and I would recommend to skip the story as it wasn't worth the read and this game should have an abandoned tag as there isn't a proper ending just a cliffhanger.

Oh, FFS. Not another one of you. Every so often one of you whiners comes on here saying the same damned thing. This game is completed, and it should not be marked Abandoned. Think of it like a game in a series. For instance, Resident Evil: Biohazard ended but the story continued in Resident Evil: Village. This, Episode 1, is finished — it doesn't matter how you feel about the story or the ending. (That's why it's called SWe1; that means this is just Episode 1.)

The reason it stops where it does is because the team creating it had moved on to other projects for quite awhile. But now they are actively developing Episode 2, so you can chill out already. :FacePalm:

I am not able to understand your comparisons with resident evil as the game doesn't have anything to do with SWe1 and I wouldn't like to discuss it further on this page.I however stand corrected and acknowledge that this game doesn't deserve the abandoned tag as I went through the developers page on patreon (i rarely use that site),you should have just linked the post as I went through the developers notes and didn't find anything on the ongoing development teasing SWe2.

Apparently you don't understand the concept of "comparisons". But yes, I wasn't trying to branch off into a conversation about another game series or anything. You could have searched instead of making assumptions. Doing so, you're likely to have found the posts that Tlaero linked above.

Thank you for linking the posts Tlaero and I hope that the development of the game is going well as intended. I liked toro 7 released by you as that game was good with a great story and I hope you are doing well and are not offended by my previous posts(I will delete them if you are as I meant no hate) as I liked the premise and setting of the game ,ep 1 could have been better and I hope ep 2 will be great.

The game hit me with the biggest blue balls I've ever received from a porn game. So good and then, BAM, it ends.

Really looking forward to chapter 2!

This game has exclusive LI paths, so yeah, you have to pick your favourite that early and stick to her when possible. In the slave's case, telling her she is beautiful is mandatory to open her path, but you can still choose a different LI to pursue with your future choices.

The main LIs are the twilek slave and the ship captain. The blonde non-jedi may be a LI in future games but she has no scenes in this one: following her path (or no one else's) will lead you to a casual sex encounter with another character down the road.

Not in this first episode, that's for sure. It seems she's one of the antagonists but we'll see how everything evolves in the next episode that's currently in the works. That said, we get to see her having sex during this episode so there's that.

Progress 22 June 2025 in the News from 3 days ago:

This week Mortze sent me some images and script for the start of a new scene, though he spent the majority of his time laying out the interiors of the area the new scene will take place in.
I continued to work on my text-only short story. I've got the end figured out but haven't decided how much will happen between where I am now and that end.
I've also been playing with renpy programming to make it possible to do a different kind of game that I'm interested in trying. I enjoy coding and am having fun with this even though I'm not sure anyone other than me will enjoy the concept I'm working toward.

Cool, thanks. I put any hope of a sequel out of my mind like 3 years ago or whatever, whenever the creators said there was very likely never going to be one. Guess I'll have to play through again
