The absolute best adult VN i have ever played. Amazing renders, decent storyplot, good portion of non-cringe humor, the world rules straight from shonen, outstanding character development (i mean, look at Luna storyline. I might honestly just fell for a videogame character)... Too bad that we have to wait 3 years to play completed version (hopefully).

P.S. The only downsides are that the game is far from being complete (obviously) and a certain lack of sexual content (fine by me, but may push away some players).

Goes to show you how important it is to have a good AV program! :)

Yes it is. As I said I was using ESET but am now using Norton. Long story so don't ask Both are great AV's and both caught something but still gave the guide D/L while killing the virus. So WINS for all of us.

Well I am on my 2nd time through this due to getting a new laptop. Doing "I am Luna" again. Even knowing what was coming my heart was still in my stomach. The story telling and the music is so well done. Time to eat before I pick up where Lucas comes in. Damn you again HopesGaming

These are my two favorite shots in this game. Tried both as avatars but only one worked for clarity. Actuality wanted the one with the heart in the center. Tried to use them for my signature but no way to just upload them and don't know how to do it.

Edit: FOREVER SEVEN YEAR OLD SOFI AND LUNA. MAY SOFI REST IN PEACE. That says it all even if that was all there was to the story.

The updates are mean, you're right - or are we?:p
And you can ask for ETA, if you're ask niecly, yet the answer would be the same, as we simple don't know it.

Updates are coming, calculating from what is in the OP, around, more or less, all 4 months.

Just looking at the OP should give you that approximate.
Look at the date of the OP. Now look at the date of the latest release. How many months are between them?
Changelog in the OP contains 5 major version updates (v0.01 is the first release).

Penfold Mole : Please don't try to peg me as dumb when you don't know how statistics work.

c3p0 As far as I can see, the OP only gives the release date of the penultimate update in addition to the last one (btw I really don't know why F95 staff delete the release dates of old update, if you see this message please keep all the dates on the OP for us !), so that's only 2 points of data, which is at the very least not a good sample size. Which is why I asked my question here cause there surely are people passing by in the OP that know the release dates of more updates and would consequently be able to give a much more precise estimation. As you can effectively see here :

Code: 
Version Release      Days
v0.01   2018-07-26
v0.02   2018-09-08 = 44
v0.03   2018-11-15 = 68
v0.04   2019-03-18 = 123
v0.05   2019-09-28 = 194
v0.06   2020-03-22 = 176
Mean: 121 days (i.e. 0.07 late July) - but that's probably misleading, recent updates have taken longer.

There will be a medium update 0.06.5 before that though to conclude the latest Isabel arc.

Meushi Thanks a lot ! Where were you able to check all the release dates ? The OP changelog only gives the previous one.

Initially I searched this thread for posts by N7, who did most of the release announcements previously.

Then worked out you can see the release announcement post titles at

I rarely write a comment; Rather click the like button.
But i just have to commend this game's storytelling, character development and music.
The crazy thing is that the (relatively) lack of sexual content (as of ver. 0.6.1) doesn't really seem to bother me as much as it usually does with adult games. Sure, more lewd content is always appreciated, but I truly hope that the developer doesn't rush the story and instead, bind his time to keep the unique atmosphere he has created through the end.

The only small issue (probably nit-picking) which sometimes bothers me is the MC's clothing, which for whatever reason almost never changes during different scenes. I mean... you don't take the lovely Luna to a fancy restaurant wearing the same turtleneck and jeans you've been wearing during detention, missions & travels... ;)
On a positive note, the elite soldado costume looks very nicely done and a class above the default ones the MC wears. Hopefully, since he has already been promoted to a higher rank, he will start wearing it much more frequently.

All in all, definitely one of my top 10 all time favorites.
Magnificent job, amigo! (y)

It's not just the little Luna's story - actually a follow-up with the Russian roulette, and the Luna character card afterwards representing her soul's cry to find someone trustworthy in her life. These parts were also strongly written, and I would suffer a very long delay in next versions in order to receive the same quality of writing from the Dev

Just finished "My name is Luna" event. I missed this the first time through. A mere oversight by HopesGaming in that at the end of the vows he neglected to include the proclamation that "You may now kiss the bride/groom". However, Luna and the MC did a nice improv thus saving the day and HopesGaming butt. :D

I just finished v 0.06.1 and somehow I missed a very significant part of the 10th story event my 1st time through. That being the end conversation between Cordia and Wilfred. If I may be permitted to do some speculation. Thank you.

1. There is so much psychology that it is oozing out of the pages which can easily be missed due to it being a slow but steady ooze if you are not reading everything.

2. Antonio will not emerge as a rival or even a threat but rather a right-hand man of the MC.

3. The biggest threat to not only the MC but to The Deluca Family will be Wilfred.

4. The next generation of serpents will be MC, Gracie, Luna and drum roll please JOEY.

5. My favorite, hands down, bit player is Trino whose loyalty and ability to predict the future are shown in these 2 screen shots.
