Alright, i had enough. This game is Broken AF, doesn't worth even as a demo, by now. I'll try again in a few months when the next version goes out (if the game isn't abandoned by then, there is).
From the patreon page, it looks like the dev is focussing more on sharing photos of herself than game development, so there's that.

I don't get the hate - For a demo there's a lot here, and I'm excited to see how this develops over time. Agreed though that there are many QoL improvements to be had, including making your walk speed much faster and changing the bondage system.

No clue how substantial they are, but the dev is releasing a build weekly. That's way fucking better than most.

The font is very confusing it is H that you're supposed to mash when you're hogtied. I tried X and K because that is what it looked like and after I got out the character proceeded to struggle repeatedly then kneel repeatedly for the mashing I did. Which was enough time for a guard to come back around and put me back in the hogtie.



The hop until you can't is caused by your stamina running out. The walk speed is WAY TOO SLOW. It's like you're wearing a hobble chain instead of just ballet boots. I get the joys of being helpless but it is a game so you need to balance it out. Hopefully there is some QoL updates or they add a skill system so that the more you do activities the better you get. Like walk speed increasing the more you get used to the heels. I didn't even realize the compass showed the destination because it was a mess of all the markers for the guards walking the halls. Also even if you couldn't remap the keys there should still be the option to see the keybinds.
A few things. To be fair, in the original upload you didn't get to pick your character (at least as far as I could tell) and the default was the one in the cat eared hood, who is actually wearing a hobble skirt on top of the ballet boots (Quick edit, I took another look at the .08 version in the thread where you get four characters to pick from and I think all four are actually in hobble skirts lol). And in all fairness, tiny steps are absolutely the easiest way to walk around in ballet boots, especially if you've never actually worn them before. That being said, from a gameplay standpoint the movement is incredibly annoying at times. Hobbling around in a hallway with an NPC patrolling it who is quite literally able to hear you from a mile away is insane. If the game had actually explained how to get out of the hogtie it might not have been such a pain but the thing is, the game didn't. It didn't even warn the player that "Hey this NPC is bad and you should avoid them" let alone "Hey when the NPC grabs you they put you in a hogtie that you specifically need to press H instead of X to escape". There's no controls like, anywhere.

Generally I think the game has promise, at least if you're the kind of person that enjoys BDSM for the sake of being tied up rather than the sake of being tied up and fucked. It needs a lot of work though.

Finished 0.8 till the end of content, found 10 out of 12 journals. In addition to mentioned mashing H to get out of hogtie and Shift to quicker hopping, also you can avoid being caught by pressing to the walls in the corridors. It speeds up things greatly. I like this game, shiny bondage is right up my alley.

I'm with you on the short steps are the easiest way to walk in ballet heels. Where the problem comes in is that if you're dexterous enough to kneel, get up and repeatedly hop forward two feet without the use of your arms as counter balances then you should be able to take a normal steps. Two of the characters are definitely wearing hobble skirts the others are questionable. Either way it is egregiously slow.

I agree that it has potential and I enjoy the premise. I'm just not going to hold my breath that it comes together. The way the changelog/store page reads to me is like they are 90% done with the game mechanically and it is just putting together the story events from here.

Did anyone find all twelve of the journals? I only found 10 of them, I'm missing the 8th and the 12th. Have no clue where they are and don't feel like roaming the ship while getting lapped by snails looking for the last two. The fact that they all respawn when you restart makes it hard to tell if you've gotten it before.

I don't know what you guys are talking about, I can only go to the control room and medical bay, all the other doors are locked, which means I can only get 2 journals

Having a charming appearance while having a slutty mind and being the dev of a porn game cannot be too bad imho.

I definately bookmarked this for later and really hope this will get far. I wish the dev all the best!

I got hard-locked (stuck forever on a black screen) when two of the ladies in the hall approached me at the same time, so be careful with that.

Some suggestions/notes:
  • Variety in the punishments would be nice. Perhaps different ones depending who catches you.
  • Maybe make it so you get ignored if you kneel/crouch.
  • The walk speed is very slow when there is such a limited stamina/energy pool for "sprinting".
  • The sprint speed very slow, closer to what is expected of walking.
  • It seems all "needs" get paused during scenes (punishment, tantilization, etc), including stamina regen. It would be nice to regen during that time, or even to exit such a scene with full stamina.
  • What's the point of food vs water if they both get refilled at the same time and one drains more quickly than the other?
  • A way to interrupt struggle animations. Sometimes you hit the button, other times it seems like it plays randomly (after escaping a hogtie)
  • Have the Journals be readable from the menu after acquiring them. I hate voice logs. You clearly have the text since the whole game is using TTS. Make them play while you are looking at the (scrollable if necessary) transcript.
  • Sometimes prompts get stuck on screen. "E to interact" stuck around for a while during the kitchen serving scene for me after I was well away from anything to interact with.
  • The subtitles need work. They don't always line up with the line timing, sometimes disappear well before the line is over, etc.
  • There seems to be no way to skip cinematics/cut-scenes (would be nice e.g. on repeated playthroughs)
  • Some of the line readings are rough. I get you're using TTS so there is only so much to be done, but yeesh.

All very valid suggestions and I agree with most of them but the thing is; this is one of those super paywalled games. So unless someone forward the ideas on patreon, I highly doubt the author will ever see.

the physics on the art assets are unoptimized or broken like hell for me, boobs and hair flies in all directions, its slow and sluggish and combined with an already slow movement speed its very broken and virtually unplayable, for my limited specs at least, I assume other system can just brute force the issues with tons of gpu and cpu. But I cant afford to.

I've been support her(dev) from DA since she post a video there. This game still in early(alpha or whatever you guys called it) but she's welcome any feedback. I ask her if she's making more clothing and bondage option in the near future, she says yes.
