Welcome back Dev, glad to see one of my favorite games picked back up
Looking at Noelle, spying on her in bath and guestroom, buy a camera and take pictures of her in the garden.I see, so how do you lower faithfulness?
Probably overstating it slightly. The first release was a re-make of someone else's game, then one or two of the releases since then have been mostly rewrites/recodings of existing content, and now a full relaunch, so probably more like the third or fourth, unless you count other remakes of the same original game.Isn't that like the 5th remake or retry by someone?
Hi! Thank you for pointing them out to me, I do agree some are very bad indeed, they'll be fixed."Sarah keeps quite and accepts you fucking her ass some more." quite -> quiet
"(name), I'm having a bath, can I please have some peace and quite?" quite -> quiet
"Noelle makes very clear what she means buy fun." buy ->by
"We where in the movies as you suggested." where -> were
I'm shocked I noticed these. I rarely, if ever, do.
Hi thank you so much for you extensive review!!I wrote down some critique. Overall much better than the previous version which I quit rather early.
UI:
Gameplay:
- Save menu not accessible without scrolling (on 1920x1080 and 1920x1200).
This is a hard one to fix, since I have a lot of info in the side menu. But it can go a little higher as I noticed some gaps.- Sidebar should show NPC location and offer quick travel to them.
I was already thinking about that, but I'm not sure how to implement it properly yet.- Videos not autoplaying is good, but if possible having just the first video autoplay would be optimal.
I do like that idea actually. I might implement that.- Videos should be a bit larger, maybe 30-50%. A lot of empty space to accommodate it.
That's my mistake, most of the work I do on a small screen laptop, when I put it on a bigger screen it was small indeed. I can tell you already I have fixed this, it will adjust to the size of your screen (up to certain limits of course).- Add videos with the audio kept in whenever possible (only some have audio right now).
Audio is really hard to do, mostly because of the way I get certain clips and videos, but I'll try to pay more attention to it.- Vertical picture are way too small (such as those from taking pics of Noella at pool).
Same as the video, even though I can't make them wider (without making Noelle look weird) due to the source material used.- The persistent sidebar picture of your character's current fitness feels unnecessary (allow us to hide it).
Good point and idea.
Bugs:
- Earning money is a tad slow, a passive income of 25 per day would be nice. Call it royalties, ad money or something.
Good that you mention it, I did not pay a lot of attention to that, and I'll look into it.- Reducing faithfulness is way too grindy. Most events only lower it by 1, with the garden ones being somewhat better. It also increases by doing nothing at all. I don't really see the necessity of this separate stat existing at all.
The faith balance was my biggest worry and I believe you are not the only one mentioning this, so I'll look into it.- Give the player a goal to work towards. It is unclear if getting 250 affection just means unlocking all scenes, or if there is some trigger to open up new progress.
Yes, I am working on that too, I agree it is unclear which goals are to be reached. I'll clarify this in future versions.
- Giving Noelle the sleeping pill does nothing (maybe you need lower faithfulness).
- Giving Sarah the sleeping pill just once triggers her sleep scene every single night.
- Watching picture of Noelle in the office has the following error: "Error: cannot find a closing tag for HTML".
- Later Afternoon on weekdays has Sarah at both the pool and the living room (Noelle is MIA).
- An occasion where Noelle is in 2 rooms but Sarah is missing and a scene with a video error (forgot to note down specifics).
Thank you for your reply!Drastically less buggy and with a much cleaner interface than the prior version, well done. Aside from the typos, the only obvious bugs I encountered were a few times of day where one of the women was in two places simultaneously, and the other woman wasn't home at all. (Example: late Wednesday Afternoon, Sarah is simultaneously at the pool and in the living room playing with Peter, Noelle is MIA.)
The faithfulness stat is still awful, though. Just from an implementation standpoint, it's way too much of a grind to get it down, and it's extremely non-intuitive to figure out which things will or won't raise it which makes the grind even more frustrating when you have to constantly avoiding accidentally raising it, too. From a broader design perspective, I feel like this game already requires enough grinding of other stats (relationship, money, fitness, etc) to see the content that's there, that it doesn't really make sense to make pursuing both women virtually impossible in one playthrough by adding yet another stat that has to be carefully managed for one of them.
Thank you for your reply!Love that this remake of a remake of a remake is getting some renewed attention, it's actually one of my faves and gotta say Dev I love this latest release so kudos. Is there any way to increase Sarahs relationship oints past 250? I feel like theres some action I havent completed yet to move on to the next stage with her but not sure what it is.
Hi! Faithfulness can be lowered by spying on Noelle, looking at Noelle and take pictures of Noelle (requires camera) at the pool.Relationship Noelle: 200 but i can't do everything with her and i can't lower my Faithfulness
Friday Night Noelle does work, it requires a faithfulness of 80 or lower, Noelle relation of 90 and is triggered at night on Friday and Saturday if you are in the house before the forced sleep is triggered.MC is forced to sleep so I can't trigger the Friday Night Noelle scene. This might be related to Dagerdese bugs list.
Not sure how to trigger the cheating scene, but for the cumslut scene, all you really have to do is keeping cumming in her mouth in every sex scene that gives you the opportunity, even if it pisses her off and makes your relationship stat take a hit. After a few times she'll be less mad about, then kind of neutral, then eventually she'll get into it, and then the scene just randomly popped up one day.Think there needs to be a guide, I wasn't sure how to trigger a lot of the main scenes for Sarah. The cheating and cumslut scene I couldn't figure out in particular.
Hi! Thank you very much for the feedback and reporting the bugs, they'll be fixed!Some notes:
- We put the sleeping pill in Noelle's meal but Sarah has it. And then she sleeps every night and we can only enjoy her body. Even on Saturday and Sunday mornings
- Noelle's exit on Friday night: apparently you have to have searched her room on that day and not on another and be on the ground floor at night.
- Sarah in the living room: there is an error message when "go to her"

(Relation Sarah 250, Noelle 200, Faithfullness 0, Darkness 85) attached a backup
Typo : "That is Christel, we use to go uni TOGHETHER …."'
Apparently, in the evening, in the bedroom "Let's go somewhere else" sends to the mall
Does Darkness have a use for now? BDSM?
Is it normal that Energy can go over 100?
The slow pace of events at the beginning doesn't really bother me, it has a more realistic feel
Faithfullness that drops in less than 2 weeks as soon as we have made the tript with Noelle (when Sarah receives her colleagues, I didn't note faithfullness at that time) seems a bit excessive to me. I admit that I did everything I needed to do for that and then it's probably in the mentality of the character who cracked for good.
When you put the relationships to the max, you feel like you've reached the end of the version. You have to keep going for a while to realise that this is not true.
Overall it's a good job and I'm looking forward to the next part.
Thank you for this remake which is really worth it
I haven't played the original. How do you get Sarah to cheat?
