I also ran into a bug, although I did not record as much as I should have.
I went to the cafe at night, and Damien came out and thanked me for agreeing to drive him home (which I had not actually done). He said he forgot his phone, I said I'd go get it, he sat down, et cetera. When he sat down, he completely vanished. I couldn't go into the store, because the door was locked. I tried to go around to the back, but got a "I'm not going behind the store without a reason" response and it wouldn't let me, so I am unsure what's going on here. I am not willing to rule out "user error," mind you; there's a non-zero chance I missed something. (EDIT: As per the Itch page, this is a known bug that's fixed in the Patreon version, so that's that sorted!)
Now, that out of the way, an assortment of my thoughts so far. I just got done talking to the mayor, for where I am in the plot.
The not really relevant one that sticks out regardless is "it feels weird to have The Tank last in the party list."
I normally play games that are a bit, well, let's just say "people are Not Nice" and leave it at that, but it's nice to play one now and then where everyone is friends and having a good time. Mostly. Lucas/Lily is a noticeable exception, but since I am taking all the boosts to femininity, sexuality, and submission, I suspect that this is going to land in "oh, I am a subby little slut and I like that" territory, so hey we'll all land in Good Times eventually.
Since I turned off the "attraction to men" thing, I do have a slight concern that I may be missing out on chances to pick up Sexuality and Submission points, but I don't think it's going to be enough to matter. I had to delay using the tentacle book so I could get the Eager version instead of Reluctant, but it's not like there were any fights in between my first attempt at using the book and my second.
I appreciate that the hall in the lewd book with the things that give you hints has things very clearly grayed out and says "you turned off the content that would let you see this," but a brief "here's what it would have been" would be nice.
On a related train of thought, I like how Damien is being handled. He's very confused, but he wants to be sure that Lucas is safe, happy, and comfortable. And I suspect that if I had left "attraction to men" on, he'd be trying to sort out his feelings over the fact that his bro Lucas has turned into the very cute girl Lily who seems to be into him too. Seth gives me some pretty strong Dad Friend vibes, and I don't know if there's anything involving him that doesn't involve pants, but he's in your corner.
I think it's kind of funny that "attraction to men" still allows the tentacle beast, because it's technically not a man. But hey, gray area, close enough.
The difficulty of the fights seems pretty right. They're easy, yeah, but not "just mash attack" easy. As long as you put in a little effort, the enemies will go down, and for games of this nature, that's about where I want it.
