What text do you mean, exactly? I find it very hard to describe my game without giving away too much. And I don't think I can describe it in a few words or a few tags.

No need to create a new description.
In the beginning of game, when we connect to the game page on a computer, we are offered a choices:
Please explain what this game is about ….
I want to skip explanation.....
The explanation, you used with first choice, can be used here in this thread (for example in Developer Notes).
Why did I write my comment?
I find the theme of your game very intriguing. So, I wanted to find out what form of narration you want to give it. What experience you want to interpret to players, respectively.
I did not find a definite answer in the thread and so, despite doubts, what the mysterious stranger will do in the game, I decided to download the game. And there, I found after a few clicks that I would not appreciate this experience.

Sorry that you decided so soon you wouldn't like it. Thanks for your input.

A good start I hope the authors of the game to make it more interesting. My ex-wife's name is Venus, with whom we had a wonderful 20 years. I wish success to the autors.
Great game, really interesting, sexy and humorous at the same time.. All the best to the developer, please continue doing what you've been doing.
Just a small message to let you know that episode 5 is almost ready. At the moment, we are testing it. However, there are some very sad family circumstances that make it difficult for me to spend much time on developing this week. I hope I can publish the episode in a few days, but I may not be there to give support in case something goes wrong.
For those interested in lesbian content, episode 5 will be something to look forward to.

In my previous message I told you there were sad family circumstances that made it difficult for me to work on Venus Attracts this week. Sadly, my wife’s sister died last Monday, only a few hours after I posted that message. The funeral will take place this Friday.
I have decided to put the release on hold until a few days after the funeral. This means, episode 5 will be released after the weekend. Sorry if you have been looking forward to it.

Outstanding first game, Rico! One little crash-course from Mickydoo and you're cranking out one hell of a quality release. Is this biographical? Are... are you an actual alien?!
One very personal fuck-yeah for modelling your characters with such natural features... I was starting to think DAZ couldn't render small boobs - almost every character in every game seems to have the same pair of chernobyl melons.
EDIT: Could you explain the in-game surveys? Do they affect storyline/routes? Points system? Fetish toggles?

That's a very existential question you are asking. All I can say is that, sometimes, I feel like I am from another planet.
The game surveys will have impact, but not just yet. Well, sometimes they influence the mood of Natalie a little bit. She doesn't like being called a slut, for instance. But telling you what the surveys do would give away much of the story I have planned, and I don't want to do that.
Please forgive me if some of the questions won't have any impact at all. I am a newbie in game developing and I am not sure if and how it will work. But all your answers and choices will be remembered and may be used against you.
About my models. I am glad some of you like them . I wanted them to look like some of the girls I knew when I was 22, and I think they do. I never knew any girls with watermelon boobs.
I think many Daz developers start with ready-to-use characters and modify them a bit. I didn't find any of those with small or even medium sized boobs. All my characters are standard G8F's, fully modelled by myself, including the small boobs. The only one with some preset-character in her is Gerti. That is because she is my oldest model. There are some very odd things in her design, and sometimes it shows. But I grew very fond of her. Natalie was the first girl I made, but she is Natalie 10.0. Gerti is only version 2 or 3.

Funny, as fate would have it, both my first girlfriend and my college sweetheart could make Katy Perry jealous. Pearls to swines really... any other guy would feel graced by the gods... I wasn't really looking for that. Not that i'm complaining. They were amazing women and i was very much in love. But weirdo me always found smaller to be sexier.About my models. I am glad some of you like them
I guess maybe that explains why porn is so full of juggernauts, people tend to fantasize about what you can't have, and odds are most guys will go through life without ever coming close to such massive stackage.
Pleasure to see the Itty Bitty Titty Committee is still recruiting, Rico. May your devving ventures bring prosperous joy to many weirdos.

Greetings fellow (if I'm not mistaken) Dutchman. You asked for feedback and feedback you shall have.
+ The models are good, with a nice variety of body-types and facial/hair features. It's nice to see some non-standard models get some love.
+ The premise is interesting. I don't think I've ever played a game with alien sex researchers as its central plot. The fish out of water situation lends itself naturally to comedy, although it could be milked more.
+ Seeing some love for the Netherlands in a VN is a nice surprise, I think this is another first.
+ People tend not to think of the Dutch as a humorous people, but we are and your game certainly shows it.
+ Some very good animations in a first game, especially the scene of Gerti strutting her newfound confidence.
- So far it doesn't feel like a game, you're more an observer than a protagonist. The survey answers don't seem to affect the story-line much.
- I could do with the characters adressing the camera less. It's understandable when Nat is speaking to the player, but at other times it just breaks immersion. The whole Patreon/Discord discussion for example. There is such a thing as being too Meta.
- 5 chapters in and sex scenes are still few and far between. I'm not expecting all sex all the time, but a little faster progress into Nat's research would be appreciated.
- Of course it had to be set in a proxy of Amsterdam, because everyone knows that A'dam is the Netherlands and the Netherlands is A'dam.
In conclusion, the good outweighs the bad so far and I'll be keeping an eye on this for sure. De groeten en een dikke kus!

Thank you for the kind words.
Actually, the setting is meant to resemble Utrecht a bit, the town (city) where I have lived most of my life, but where I moved out last year. In episode 2 I went to quite a length to mymic a "terras aan de werf".
I am more a storyteller than a game player, and I guess it shows. Venus Attracts is my first visual novel. It's very much learning by doing. It will never be a sandbox or a RPGM kind of game, because that's not what I like, but I will try to give it at least some different endings. That's where the outcome of the surveys will come into play.
Your remark about the (lack of) sex scenes is spot on. I'll try to make up for it a bit in the next episode. I have some cunning plans
.Tikje met de elleboog to you. In these times of Covid, I don't think it's a good idea to kiss someone you don't really know and who you have just met on a porn forum

. To be honest the few times I've been to Utrecht it was to change trains, so I'm not that familiar to recognise it on sight, especially in a VN . Kudos for going for a different setting than most VNs though.Since the start of Covid, I've mastered the art of the virtual dikke kus, so I think we're safe, but just to be sure, tikkie terug, Jaap.

Why do so many devs have an aversion to text-boxes and also not even having the option for them in the menu?
This isn't fun to look at;
