NEW RELEASE - COMING 27th MARCH!

It's finally time!

The latest release of THIS TIME is coming 27th March to all players exclusively on Steam.

There will be no 2 week early access on this release for VIP DLC holders and Patreon Subscribers due to limitations delivering the massively overhauled content packs in the steam client. Early access will resume in the next release.

Version 2303 - What to Expect?
With a total of 2443 images and animations and a playtime of roughly 3 and a quarter hours, we are ready for you to begin experiencing the new and improved game.
To put that into perspective, version 0.3.0 (before the rewrite) had 1647 images and animations and was around 2 hours of playtime, so not only have we rewritten the old content, we have added lots of extra content!

Some important notes...
  1. Going forwards, we will be releasing updates EVERY 2 MONTHS. Read more about that .
  2. In this release, you will notice your old saves are gone and you will need to start a fresh as we recently announced due to the mass overhaul. This new save game WILL continue to work in upcoming releases.
  3. If you played the game BEFORE the rewrite, you will notice that this release has not yet caught up to where the story was previously. Don't worry, we will catch up to that point again soon and in the mean time, enjoy the extra content we have added!
  4. Lastly, don't forget that this is a story driven erotic thriller novel, not your usual horny landlady pornfest :)

New Release - OUT NOW!
Version 2303 is out now exclusively on Steam:


Important notes:

  • Don't forget, you will need to start a fresh save in this release. Your old saves will NOT work with this version. Fresh saves WILL continue working in upcoming releases.
  • This version is the new STARTING POINT of the game. We have not yet caught back up to the story point in the old version but there is lots of new content in-between old scenes.
  • We didn't quite get the audio fully complete towards the end. There is a warning in place where this begins at the moment but we will push out a fix for this in the coming days.

CHANGELOG (compared to 0.3.1)
  • Version naming format has changed (YYMM)
  • Added Visual Novel Purist mode alongside the existing Interactive mode.
  • Completely revamped the points system.
  • Added difficulties settings.
  • Full game has now been rewritten up to around halfway through the OLD chapter 3.
  • Loads of new story scenes with the usual high quality renders and writing you already love.
  • New story arcs for some characters and tweaks to existing story arcs.
  • Lots of new story scenes
  • Game playtime is now around 3.25 hours compared to 2 hours
  • Now 2443 images and animations compared to 1647
  • Basically forget the old game and play the new game, even most of the re-used scenes have been completely rewritten and re-rendered/improved.

I remember playing this game, I think. The stopwatch, and the preview image of the girl on the roof are very familiar. I wonder why I haven't seen this since... Oh, well. I'll give this rework a try.

can someone give context on the lesbian an prostitution tags are they avoidable
Both avoidable.

Prostitution is very early in the game and can be easily avoided.

There is a lesbian flashback scene that is not avoidable (as it forms part of the story) but you get the choice later in the game (in the next release) whether or not you want to encourage this LI to explore her lesbian thoughts or to discourage them.

To the DEV and future DEVS:
Story looks really good.. gripping and you want more.. and more..
BUT..
The size... Its a NO for me..
a Bigger NO for me is the mini games in any game or novel/story... Don't like it at all.. Corporate it into your story telling..
So.. had no choice to Ignore thread.

Regarding size, maybe wait for a compressed version. My renders are 4k so the game is going to be fairly large.
Also, regarding minigames, there are 2 game modes. There's interactive mode that contains minigames and free-roam and then there's Visual Novel Purist mode which is pure VN. The only minigames in VN mode are interactive lewd scenes (like controlling a remote vibrator).

You could always convert your images webp/lossless. You'd save 25% in image size compared to png with zero change in visual quality. With the current size of your game that would mean dropping a gigabyte immediately.

Are saves broken? I had to copy/paste old saves into a new folder in AppData just to see them and none of them work regardless.
