There are pics in the background, but no, no nsfw vids or pics within the passages. Even the background is only to set the mood is all.
what do you mean? Literally the third passage from the start has 2 choices which directly affect your skill set. I dont know which route you played but all routes contains spicy scenes in it.
This sounds like a great context, but looking at the thread so far does not inspire confidence that it's ready for play.
If the developer sticks it out, I'll check back in six months or so.

I've played this game for a bit, definetely not through all the potential branches - and it's just a little bit too much anal for my tastes. Personally and subjectively I just don't get anal - but I can tolerate and enjoy it as "part of the course", as one of many other acts. But when I played the game and saw anal front and center on different occasions with little else... I suspect the same deal awaits me on other branches and the whole thing is just not for me.
Still - enjoyable and competent experience in terms of design, good template for an HTML game.

Anal sex is currently the only story-related way to preserve her virginity, as it likely plays a larger role later in the story.
Besides, there's also oral sex.
I personally prefer the background images to an undefined background, and as for the lack of sex, at least the lack of displayed text. It's marked as text-based and doesn't contain any tags for VN or real porn. Reading can be helpful in defining your expectations.
And gds isn't an isolated case with this type of game design. And there, too, I unfortunately read enough entries criticizing something that was never even planned, because people just want to quickly click on the next boring 3-second loop so they can jerk off for 30 seconds.

Yes, As Mercedes said. Chapter 1 revolves around the MC preserving her virginity for plot reason. This is due to the restriction brought on for maintaining the plot line. This wont be the case for long. Post Chapter 1, this wont be a problem. Do try the other routes too and provide any feedback you have.

I haven't even finished all the paths offered yet, but have only tried two. Well, more like one and a half, since it was a fork after a fundamental decision. So, there's a lot of content on offer if you want to explore all the paths. But even a single path isn't something I can just finish in 10 minutes.
As a player, you can make decisions very often, and indeed, you have to make decisions very often and read carefully. The latter is something I'm unfortunately lacking in, as English isn't my native language and I have to run most of the text through an online translator, which means subtleties quickly disappear.
Using the character sheet, you can also constantly see how the decisions you make affect Philtra's personality and abilities. Currently, this is hardly used in the game, but it will become more important in Chapter 2.
I'm curious to see how it will be implemented.
A lot has changed since the first release. Now it's just a matter of smoothing out a few rough edges here and there, and occasionally adding a little sand if the pace is too fast or scene changes seem too abrupt. So, I can fully understand the request for constructive criticism.

I understand that, but it stretches my suspencion of disbelief a bit. Anal sex is messy, requires preparation and for a novice can be much more painful and tedious than losing virginity. Okay, some things may be handwaved away as magic or porn logic, but still. I would've thought about dozens of other sexual acts before jumping to anal.
Well I guess I will have to wait for a few updates then! Still, thank you for your work!
If I will, I will do so!

As someone who really thinks Greek (and other) mythology is an underutilized setting and who likes text-based games, I'm really intrigued. I'm always confused why it seems like almost every olympus-themed game that shows up on the front page is either fully furry and/or gay (ok that last one does make sense lol, but the ancient Greek men were not exclusively boinking each other).
But since anal does basically nothing for me, I'll just hold off until chapter 2 starts, which if I've understood correctly will be version 1.1.
So until then I'll just say: Good luck dev! The premise seems like a great idea! Looking forward to trying this in the coming months, and I'll be happy to give English grammar feedback if it's still needed

Yeah, no.
I'm not just confident, but positive, that a lot of this is AI written. Lying about that isn't the play. It reads like AI. It feels like AI. It lacks some continuity like AI often does. And various pages posted into AI detection tools come back with the agreement that it's AI.
On the bright side, it is curated reasonably well and flows for AI work, which puts it a clear step above most other similar games. I was here to compliment that, but the denial that AI writing was used has soured that intent.
Hell, there's one bit where someone steals from you. You find them. The AI misunderstands and you get called the thief, and from then on you talk like you're part of the thief crew. Yeah. No. 'Here's too another successful mission!' 'You're a thief after my own heart.'
I clicked through a few pages and copied some of the worst offending setences and paragraphs.

I have been clear on my stand on this. I did say I use the web to correct and rewrite my texts. I am not a native English speaker and I am bound to make mistakes. I stand by my previous statement that this is not AI written in the case that 'I enter a prompt and AI writes it all' type AI written, I have said the same in the above comments which I am repeating now. May be starting from chapter 2, I can choose not use any tools text correct and keep in the mistakes as is. Not sure if people will like that, I can sure give that a go and check the feedback on that experiment. I feel like the corrections and changes make the texts more readable, but if it is off putting to the players. I can make the change. My goal with it was to make it a better experience for the players is all.
Also regarding the thieves storyline, The MC did enter the hideout stealthily until she saw the thief and confronted her, this warrants the leader woman calling the MC a 'little thief' playfully since the MC managed to enter the hideout without raising any alarms. And regarding the phrase 'Here's to another successful mission!' 'You're a thief after my own heart.' This happens after the successful completion of the palace infiltration mission either via servant route or guard route. The woman/partner says she managed to nab an expensive ring while in the mission for which the MC admires that and responds with the 'You're a thief after my own heart', how is this out of place? This is a deliberate choice from my end. This is why I want people to understand that I use tools to correct my mistakes rather than write a fresh passage all on its own. May be this was not clearly conveyed to the player but I don't think those phrases are out of place at all. Please correct me if I am wrong. As I said earlier, I will try it for the next update without any corrections to my text and check the feedback on that.

I remain doubtful, and I wouldn't say you've made your stance particuarly clear. The goalposts are shifting. From absolutely not AI written, to translation and gramma correction, to it's rewriting things for you but you've not given it a simple prompt to write the story for you. The writing is not human. I don't know much much AI translation and text checking tools rewrite things into their own style, but what's read is clearly not you.
I'm not saying it's not your story, but I'm pretty adamant it's not your writing.
You said you like writing? Then write it yourself. Effort goes along way, even if the quality drops. As long as it's readable, people can make sense of it.
Does it matter? Not really. If someone has a story in mind and uses AI for art and writing, while curating the output so it doesn't go on a tangent or add unexpected limbs to the images, then that's fine, as long as you're open about it. Like I mentioned before, it's quite coherent compared to a lot of similar projects which puts it a step above.
The whole thef thing? Calling cap on that. The whole vibe it gives off is: 'close enough, I guess if you stretch things that could make sense'.
I guess the conversation really is going nowhere. I agree with your point though. The definition of what 'AI written' actually is, its a grey area. So, I have now decided to try no AI whatsoever (writing side) for the next update. There most definitely will be mistakes, Even if I make mistakes, at least I can learn and get better, which will not happen if keep using the translations as a crutch.
Still rolling through the various paths, and a few things stuck out. One is how several times, (even in the same path), there's a sentence that is essentially "with x at your side, you know you can handle whatever comes up next". But unless I'm wrong, this was used for *different* leading ladies.
Like, one super spicy route you have an ally is you wade into the throngs of debauchery, only for her to essentially vanish and as a new character is introduced, and the above is written after things change for the better. Nothing wrong with sentimentality or romance, it just felt a bit odd and jarring to see the same bit of writing used twice. Maybe vary it up slightly?
Route wise, the horny lizard brain within was disappointed there wasn't a route where the MC and her mother could team up as a lewd wincest duo (yet?). Though perhaps I haven't found it.
Greek mythology is a fun, fertile (innuendo mostly intended) playground, so I'm looking forward to seeing what gets cooked up next. Bring on the satyrs, minotaurs, centaurs, lewd magic, randy gods and goddesses, I say!

Post 0.5 till 1.0, I have not used any translations or corrections. I have written it to the best of my abilities, There might be some repetitive words used due to my limited vocabulary. I did proof read it but some mistakes might have escaped my human eyes. I tried to mimic the earlier passages to maintain the same style, it might falter in some places. If you find this writing to amateurish compared to the previous writing style, Please provide some constructive criticism and I will improve the writing in the future updates. Also, be noted that I have not touched much of the writing from the previous updates except some minor spelling mistakes that were pointed out. This update is shorter in size, just because of the experimental nature of it. Looking forward to your feedback.

Yes. One of the routes does contain bestiality.
