I love these games that use models from Illusion. The characters look great, and I like free-roam games.

With that being said, but the rape scene at the start of the game just turned me off to the rest of the experience, tbh. What bothers me the most is that it is not something you can avoid, it happens. To me, given where I stopped playing the game, all I could gather is that the MC is an hypocritical monster.

I know rape is somewhat a common theme in these kind of games, bus most times you are a given a choice to be, as the MC has put it himself, a person of virtue or not. The lack of power or choice to avoid the rape scene is what bothered me the most. I would like to avoid things like that.

Still, the game looks promising, but it is not for me at the present moment. Might check it again after a couple of updates. I wish you nothing but good fortunes on your endeavours ahead, Sir/Madam GameDev.

Thanks for your comment.
Tbh, it's true, the MC is a hypocrite. I mean, that's why he always says "I am a man of virtue", a typical self-hypnosis trick. And that is what this game is about, to make this hypocrite stop lying to himself and embrace all the temptations.
But I have to say something for him on the rape scene. He was drunk, and drunken people do stupid things. After he sobered up, he deeply regretted what he did and tried to do everything to repay. He saved her from an evil dude, provided a house for her to live, recommend her to a job, walked her home every night to assure her safety, and tried to make friends with her. I think that's enough for him, don't you think?
I mean, he is indeed a hypocrite, but he is not evil. And he won't become evil or a monster even when his "virtue level" reduces to 0. This game is not about dark things or ntr at all.
But thanks for sharing your thought. It's my pleasure. And I hope you can come back and check this game again in the future.

No, the rape scene is not avoidable, but that also was not a fair description of the event either. The MC and the girl were both drunk, and a good portion of the plot involves the MC trying to atone for his mistake, so the characterization of him as an unrepentant asshole treating her as a whore while using his dad's name and money to escape consequences after the fact is not at all accurate.

Whether this is good writing for a game is certainly debatable (as is usually the case when it comes to depictions of rape), but neither the MC nor the plot is nearly as crass as the post you quoted makes it out to be.
Thanks for understanding. I'm gonna cry:cry:

This game is actually really good and it's not grindy being a "free roam" game. I really like the girls in this game they are better looking than some of the other games that use one games models XD.

I wish the dev went NTR, lot of scenes are hinted but they never go there because they don't want the NTR haters to hate the game, eventho there are some successful ntr games out there. I feel there is a incest thing because eventho one of the girls is "daughter" of some guy, she talks to me like i'm her brother. I think i was even reffered as step bro in there.

thats my only gripe with this game, dev is trying to avoid incest and NTR. version 0.2 might even have loli scenes since we tutoring a loli girl.

Tbh, man, I'm a big fan of NTR, but there are two things that keep me away from going there in this game:
1. It will significantly slower my updating speed because now there will be two major branches in this game, the NTR branch and the non-NTR branch. This means that I have to double my work and the updating frequency will be highly reduced for sure.
2. It may affect the continuity of the story, and girls' personalities may become inconsistent. This issue can be solved with experienced writing and clever designing. But since this is my first game and also my first time writing plots, I am not confident that I can deal with it appropriately.

However, you can ask for a NTR storyline once you join us as a highest-tier patron. We will create what you want, and your storyline will be added in the "What If" mode which is apart from the main story mode, so people who can't accept NTR will be able to avoid it.

Probably should have just left any Rape scenario out of the game if you were never going to invest into it. Nice that you'll add a What if though for those interested in paying for it. Still, makes no sense to me to even bother dipping toes in waters you'll never tread in original story.

If he removes the rape scenario then the dev would have to rewrite the entire fucking scenes of that girl from the beginning because it won't make any sense. That is a tremendous amount of work for just a few people whom are uncomfortable. Its is just a porn game guys and nearly all hentai games have one form of rape or another.

No ntr for sure, we have mentioned that in our patreon page, all of us hate that shit.
No dark shit, either. The darkest shit has already happened when MC took Vera's virginity.
cept the part where you kill yourself after 3 failed attempts at paying rent

Note that: Old saves are not compatible with v0.2. But they will be in the future.
And here comes the update log:
Systemic improvements:
1. Highly reduce the game size while keeping the image quality unchanged
PC version: before--1.6G now--700M
Android version: before--1.0g now--350M
2. Add one no-copyright BGM in the game
3. Create a sound effect for clicking/tapping
4. Add some simple tutorials in the game.
5. Now "B&B Management" and "Weekend Plan" have their icons.
6. New default name for MC in the Android version which is... more normal than "Agang" since some people cannot type in the Android version due to a bug of Renpy.
7. Thanklist

Game changes:
1. Decrease the exp requirement for leveling up MC's ability from 8 to 6.
2. Decrease the weekly land tax & utility fees from $2000 to $1600.
3. Increase the probability for increasing Vera's love through finding her at her workplace from 55% to 70%
4. Rework 61 old images. You can see more detail of it in the " ".
5. A new main-menu wallpaper. The cover girl for v0.2 is Senning.
6. The "date events" are now repeatable, but no "lust/virtue" changes when repeats.

What's new in the game:
1. New branch choice at that drunken night. Now you can choose whether to get Vera with force, or to explore something new. (I highly recommend you to try this new route. I think it has better picture performance and better narrative logic than the old one.)
2. 8 new "love events".
Senning and Rachel get 1; Theodora, Irene, and Elisa get 2.
3. 9 new "daily events".
4. 1 new "date event" and 1 "special event". They are all in the "Weekend Plan panel".
5. 1 interaction option for Theodora, Irene, and Elisa.
6. Introduce the 7th girl: Uno. More of her plots will come out in the next update.
