    Very nice 0.1 version, a few mistakes from the AI but otherwise very nicely done characters, looking forward much more content at home with the step father and brother and more corruption... After all, she have to earn her freedom :)

    not bad as far as potential of this game goes. rough around the edges atm, but if the artwork is fixed and the animations are fixed and the gameplay is imporved upon this game has a good chance to be excellent. In its current state is not much to write home about, but I believe that this game has great potential.

    Such a great game! I really can’t wait for the full release. Even though this is just a demo, I already had a lot of fun playing it, and I can clearly see how much potential it has. The idea, gameplay, and atmosphere are very promising. Congrats to everyone involved in the project—I'm excited to see how it grows in the future!

    Think i'm a bit overhyped this, BUT:
    AI arts - good
    Idea - perfect
    narration - good
    MC - pretty
    Aint sure that u need to replace ai arts - it look pretty good for my taste. i wish a good luck with this game.
    Edited: arts desperately need a hand-draw editor's touch - generally its good, but those polydactyly is creepy af, as a narration - its good overall, but same phrases on each dialog and the overlength of the dialogs make me push ctrl harder.

    A very good start. I hope it continues, not another sudden abandonment !
    Corruption and truly decent art
    The two men are very similar, both in action and visuals. That's a bit of a flaw.
    Good luck for the future, I'll be following with interest !

    The Only Doe is a Demo Build that provides a strong proof of concept for what the future of this game's development cycle would look like. A clear foundation is evident here and it does not shy away from the themes and potential darker content that is to be expected if you choose to support and play.

    I thought the demo was interesting and I am curious to see future builds which is perfect for what a demo is trying to achieve. The female protagonist is attractive, I wanted to see her story of corruption, and importantly the AI artstyle wasn't egregious in errors. There isn't too much to it currently and there is a lot of polish needed to smooth out the gaming experience but I liked what was there. It has potential.

    Good luck in the future to the developer, stick to your vision, and I hope your game makes it.

    (Personal opinion) I understand that this game was created with AI, so there might be some errors and it might feel a bit strange at times. But I think we shouldn't underestimate your effort. At least I like your idea of how you presented it, and this is just a test version. I hope these words encourage you to continue. I'll be waiting for the next installment. Have a great day!

    Quick and dirty review only
    • Idea is not bad, the way it plays out is sinister but interesting
    • Corruption and stats are not clear, only energy levels track for me
    • Unlocking events is a matter of trial and error, highly annoying as such because again its hard to really track anything in terms of own stats
    • Having to check constantly for stat changes on other characters is also frustrating,
    • a walkthrough would be best to speed up the process, the entire rinse repeat sandbox is bullshit and highly fucking annoying just to see another image.
    • The player has to repeat all steps to hopefully unlock another extra scene and each time the MC blocks progression until more corrupted, its slow and boring.
    • The dialogue itself is not bad actually, bit repetitive due to above mentioned and more, but there is a kink and eroticism to it also.
    • Visually its not bad, but really not all that wonderful, typical AI CG but not as good as Mila AI or related.
    Overall can be OK I guess, but I can't stand the grind and progression, its annoying as fk.

    It could be good if the developer paid more attention to quality control.

    Using AI images is understandable, especially since the style is quite refreshing and deviates from the usual blandness. However, what diminishes the image quality is that the developer seems completely indifferent to whether a hand has seven fingers plus a thumb, a cock protrudes through the hand, breasts appear completely deformed, clothing is drawn in places where, according to the situation, there shouldn't be any clothing at all, a brother looks over 40, and so on.

    The text also appears to be 90% AI-generated.
    Since English isn't my native language, I can mostly read what's written, but the transitions between action descriptions, thoughts on the action, and spoken sentences are very clumsily done.

    There's also a balancing issue.
    The goal is to leave the house quickly enough. If you manage this, the game ends. Poor developer decision.
    If you continue playing, you end up grinding for weeks without experiencing any noticeable progress. Or, to put it another way, you can hardly plan your progress, since you don't know whether you first need to unlock an action in the bathroom to progress to the bedroom, or whether you should increase your willpower through fitness training, or whether you need to decrease it by watching TV to become more susceptible to influence.

    You also barely notice any difference whether you allow your brother/father to take an action or whether you try to resist it.

    The kitchen minigame is almost impossible to win at first, as I, at age 50+, can barely recognize the six symbols quickly enough.

    It gets easier over time, since the arrangement of the symbols never changes. Once you've learned it, you can avoid every subsequent action in the kitchen.

    I'm inclined to give it three stars for a mediocre rating.
    • a relatively large amount of content, albeit difficult to access
    • refreshing graphics
    • a generally nice FMC (except for a few images)
    However, it's foreseeable that this game will never exceed 3 stars unless the developer invests a lot of time and effort in quality control.

    For a 0.1 demo version, game has plenty of potential despite usage of AI. I am definitely looking forward to more content produced for this game!

    However, there definitely is some glaring issues that hopefully can be solved/need amendments to make the game better.

    - Game texts are too long, i understand the want to elaborate and be super lengthy and i'm all for it, howeverif you want it to be longer, more actions and CG scenes need to be added to keep focus and sexual appeal.

    -There is quite a bit of grinding and trying to understand how to get more scenes. The tips in the beginning are helpful but the grinding is definitely present and sometimes a bit tedious to do. Perhaps there could be a question mark beside areas like dominance or lust/intimacyto show what actions should be taken to increase the stats.

    - CG inconsistencies, the art and ideas are definitely good, however some parts where the style sort of changes how she looks and such should preferably be altered. Some areas her breasts are far too large. I think the size of her bust should be toned down slightly too to make it slightly more appealing.

    - An area to know whether you have any remaining CGs to unlock would greatly benefit too, as some would find themselves repeating actions constantly in hopes of achieving something new but ending up not getting anything and ultimately would waste time.

    Overall, the game is great for a demo. Plenty to work on but definitely high potential. Will definitely support and will look forward to your updates! Would also definitely hope the game is even more rapey instead of vanilla.

    0.1 demo version.

    It was interesting enough for me to try it.

    Art is 3.5/5. Some inconsistency here and there, little buggy at times too, which is a shame cuz its pretty good on its own.

    Dialogue is kinda too much, you use way too many words to say something.
    Try using less words as possible to get the point across.

    The story has a nice premise, pretty good potential overall.

    Gameplay feels kinda grindy in a bad way, could defnitely be improved.
    Basically you gotta get 2800$ but doing half the options in the game is useless. Perhaps its maybe cuz its a demo but even still..
    I do like your vision and sandbox element but it needs improvements.

    The game has no animations but i read somewhere it could be added, which is good.

    Theres also a bug in the game with step father where you can just keep stealing his USB stick and keep getting 2000$ infinitely and boost his intimacy to 100 before you even escape the house

    Overall its a decent game with great potential but it could be improved.

    Who gives this 5 stars? Lmao.

    I don't mind AI art, but this is pretty bad.

    No content, after running away meeting anyone gives an error, no content, grind does nothing (because there is no content) but is still really slow, writing is meh (not good, but I can ignore that).

    There is nothing good about this game at the moment. Main character is cute (duh, it's a porn game), but that's where the good things end.

    Great job, fairly big for a 0.1 which is nice to see. Writing and images were good. I look forward to seeing more updates going forward. I did hit 1 renpy error but it didn't crash or return to main menu. I do wonder if you plan to add more to the beginning.

    It is a good start for the Demo from new dev. Also, we have AI images and background which is OK, imo. But the best part for me is plot obviously, nice story with tension, blackmail, noncon and corruption. This days it feels like games with those tags are mostly abandoned and i felt luck of the fresh content for a while.

    I had some problems with the writing, tho. Too much texts, especially with thoughts. You don`t need to explain every thought from every character for the player, just give me situation, context and actions with narrative comment, that`s it. I skipped 69% of text.

    If you up to tags like that, try this.
    Glad to see something new.
    Good Luck to the dev!

    Finished the demo and its good. Didn't see any H-scene besides the showering ones cause the step family sucks. Do hope that more screenshots past the house gets posted so people won't think the game is just in the house. Looking forward to future updates and hoping that future H-scenes aren't tied to only blackmail/harassment
