Perverteer Since pretty much every character has made a decision if they want to be in the harem or not, are we going to have some scenes with Raene and the other girls any time soon?

Review until incl. v0.21; note: suggestions are done reasonable, ofc I could always ask more ...:

Positives / neutral:
  1. The fundamentals of the game are in essence great
  2. The story is interesting, well told and somewhat emotionally connecting (until somewhere around episode 15-20)
  3. The graphics are (on average) good and the interactions well written (that said there are sporadically scenes where it is clearly low effort, like where they visit that "party"; the building looks from the outside like shit, missing set dressing around building)
  4. The animations are at first mediocre but later get a lot better
  5. The music is befitting most of the time
  6. I like that there is a codex and scene gallery! I suggest also to integrate a cheat menu in the future, optional ofc.
  7. Consider explicity allowing to disable pissing and futa, so users that don't want it, don't accidentally trigger it.
  8. Consider asking the user if he wants to save at the end of a chapter; saw this in another game, mighty useful
Negatives:
  1. I wish longer animations with a bit more variety (reasonable) and an updated to the first episodes' animations that are clearly of lower quality (shorter, less variety).
  2. I wish there would be fewer characters; clearly too many females and the quality suffers a lot as a result - you could easily delete 2 characters from the crew.
  3. Male side characters are barely of relevance. What is the point of them being there? You could easily narrate the whole story without them. Rather delete 2-4 females and make the males relevant, i.e. invite them more to tag along (xxx) or hook them up with other females, do friendship stuff (like get shitfaced) etc. etc. etc.
  4. The overall story starts suffering past episode 15 - a phenomena called "escalation" kicks in. There is always a bigger threat and it gets more and more ridiculous. After the first big threat is defeated, you should have ended the story, rounding it off. Instead, invest the time to improve the first episodes (bring them standard wise in line with the others) and finish the game. You can always start a new story (same universe or something completely new, also economically makes more sense).

For what the cheat menu? What can you actually cheat? Your only choices are fucking yes/no and kink x yes/no.

You want less, I want more. I still hope we get to bang Céline's mom.

So what?
Why do you care so much for male NPCs? They serve their purpose when needed.
That's it. That's why they're there.

That's the dumbest shit I've read all day.
So you want the dev to abandon the game to start another game in the same universe and not resolve the story of this one?

You don't seem to understand how a story arch works, that's ok...
But you DO realize that the MC and his crew still don't actually know what the confessor and his father actually want with Eva, right?
So no the story doesn't suffer at all. It's actually very interesting and engaging.

This is a visual novel, not just a porn game. And this is clearly reflected in the game. Anyways, the feedback was not for you, it was for the dev. If you are that horny, go watch porn, play a sandbox porn game or go fuck a prostitute irl.

The amount of characters is too much, resulting in a substantial loss of quality regarding the overall story and individual stories. Again, it is a visual novel. Compare it to other popular VN, they don't feature anywhere near that many characters to have a relationship with for a reason.

Again, it is a visual novel. It is better for immersion, better for the story, and gives more variety.

You have no idea what "escalation" means. This is a common problem for amateur / low-level stories*. Go inform yourself before you come back. I know what the story is about, the issue I describe is present.

The issue is, that the dev probably wanted 1x futa and 1x gay, so removing them might not be realistic. That said, yes, they would be first to go, followed by Vess/Jade (keep either or merge them into 1 character). Since Eva is key character, I suggest to keep 1 of following 3: Lilly, Aven, Nadya (without Nadya there won't be MILF so she would be the logic choice).

Effectively what I suggest:
  • Main characters: Eva, Nadya, Kit, Celine, Vess/Jade-merge!
  • Persistent side characters (no romance): Thim, Thyia (maybe you can have a sidestory where you hook them up :p)
  • And if futa/gay is a must: Merge Raene/Ziv into 1 character where there is a choice if they stay Futa or becoming Gay through a story event (dev happy, players have choice).
That means either 5 or 6 characters, making story far more manageable (both dev & player), increases story quality & immersion & emotional connection, allows dev to spend time/resources to improve quality of other parts of the game.

Convenience, so a) better integrated, b) always up to date & working, c) easier for users to access - best would be to unlock it after first playthrough.
