Graphics and the story seems fantastic. Some more animations would be wonderful. I appreciate your great work

I thought it was a pretty good first release. I'll look for the next update.

Seattle huh? This must be a game about tragedy, depression, and misery. Sounds heavy. Cute girl though.

Totally bummed to see that my desired username was taken!
And highly amused to see a walkthrough of version 0.1 - seems just a tad premature...
Anyway, I'm the creator and this, as I've said elsewhere, was me getting my toes wet, so to speak.
For those who are interested, version 0.2 is available for download on my itch page.
So what's the plan?
Obviously the initial focus is on the relationship between Kari and the player, but that's not to see that there won't be other guys chasing her, or other girls to distract the player.
It's also my intent that there be more to them, and some of the supporting characters, than might initially be clear.
Ultimately, I suppose, I'd like it to be a game in which Kari and the player could just be platonic roommates (not that it's the path I'd choose myself)... I hope that makes sense!
What I'm not planning to include is incest (which has been done quite adequately elsewhere) or horrible renders of girls with clothes that are glued to their enormous udders.
On the other hand, it's not supposed to be a realistic simulation of life - or female body shapes for that matter.
Version 0.2 doesn't take you beyond the first week that was initially covered in 0.1, but fills in some gaps and solidifies the foundation upon which everything else is built.
As to the harem, I'd like to think that's at least one of the options going forward.
As to the graphics - there are things I would do differently, particularly with the full-body stuff (someone likened them to paper dolls) and that was largely due to how I perceived a renpy-based game would work.
I think you'll see a reasonable standard going forward, but have to bear in mind that time and render-power are a serious limitation at this point.
Regardless of all that, like it or loathe it, I'm interested to hear what people think...

WOW! I posted before I realised there were two more pages of comments!
For weissbrot and others, you make valid points, many of which I hope to address, whether here or in the game itself.
But... it's version 0.1 for goodness sake, not version 1.0.
It's incomplete, to say the least. The quick endings to the bad paths are just that - quick ending because I didn't have time to explore all the possible outcomes right out of the gate.
Grammar issues? I hope not! I really want to see proof of those! I'm serious!
And yes, it's a little compressed in terms of the timeline, But I felt like I had to get enough into the initial version to gain the necessary interest.
Gotta go, some bloody Linux user is waiting...

Okay, Linux build has been uploaded to itch.
Seattle was chosen for the fact they're supposed to work for a big tech outfit, and the fact that I have been there. Once.
And finally, I would like to clarify something. I said you wouldn't get to shag *your* sisters. But sisters in a broader sense?

Well, they've either been fixed sneakily or they were minor enough that I didn't notice them in the new build...
Welcome to the forums, always good to have the Dev here to yell at. I think if you message a mod you can get the proper tags for yourself!
Hi, sorry for the long silence. A "security issue" at work has had me working 100+ hours a week since the beginning of May.
Just posted on itch and patreon that there'll be a new version released in the next couple of days.
KenneX, you were quite right - I changed the trigger value for testing and forgot to reset it.
New version is more complex and I'm hopeful that it will thwart any attempts at a walkthrough. Part of what I wanted to do with The Roommate was to get away from the linear nature of a lot of these games. I hope you'll agree the game is better for that.
Anyway, look for the new release on Wednesday (he said, trying to sound confident...)!
