So can you play this game without touching the dick ? Or it does have unavoidable scenes ?
VoidBound, by inherent design, is a story driven game. A lore oriented experience overall with a garnish of sexual aspects, if you will. However, the story structure at times forces Caly through some complicated, and sometimes unavoidable, erotic situations. The idea behind these scenarios isn't so much as to provide sexual gratification to the player, but to in-fact impress upon them the circumstances behind Caly's current peril.

That being said, only a handful of these are designed this way as they form the bedrock of the story at large. Most other H content is very much bound to player's choice and gives ample leeway to play without geting in touch with your phallus friend to the south.

Finally, we're evaluating a solution for addressing this facet in the future though, where the player will have the option to skip watching unavoidable scenes entirely if they so wished for any reason. Something deifinitely on our medium to high priority.

Hope that satisfies your query!

I haven't played this for while. Mainly because I more or less RPGM core at all, and it is miracle that I tested this at all.
Then again most shittiest part of RPGM, battle system, was reworked on this game. Remind me my teen years and Megaman battle network.
CG's are top notch and I like idea that dev is active on this community, many devs are active only first to only get less active.

But is it worth to start over after 1+y absence or do I miss much if I just continue.

Welcome back! We're glad to have you take to the Void space once more!

A LOT has changed since 1+ year. Our sincere recommendation? Start fresh from scratch. Reason being: There is quite a bit of content added that you can now chew through! In-fact, if you remember the last patch that you played, we invite you to have a go at the complete ChangeLog since then by browsing through our Public Build Release collection right here:

Alternatively, just take a leap of faith on our word and begin anew ;)

Happy Adventuring!

PS: Thank you for your kind words! Appreciate them and you!

Not sure if this is useful feedback, but a lot of your areas - particular the city - are really large. And I get that art direction and all that is very much about the creator's vision and all that, but honestly it makes some places more tedious and hard to experience than necessary. I tried jumping in and got lost / frustrated way more than you might have intended. Just my 0.02 on the city areas.

Thank you for the feedback.

We agree with what you are saying and we have started to concept and work on systems to fixed that issue.

From signs in the map, to name headers on the screen when you enter a place, in game map and hover names over doors of location. We don't have an eta on when that is implemented, but rest assured, it is in the works.

If you have any other ideas that might work, let us know and we will see if we can add it as well.

Thanks for the lengthy replay but it's clear that the game is not for me, whether it's for the story reasons or just porn if game has forced MxF especially rape it's basically dead to me and skipping it won't make it disappear especially if it's for story. Good luck with the project and I just add it to ''ignore'' and pretend it never existed, it might be a good idea add some content warning on main page or in developer notes.

We have the tag *rape* under on the first page. Sorry to hear the game is not for you, wish you the best though!

Pretty good. Any ETA for a steam version? This is one of those games that definitely deserves some thrown its way.
So long as no content is cut out or anything like that (please tell me that's not gonna happen).

There won't be any cut content on a steam version. No worries there haha
For steam we will announce something soon on the patreon and Twitter. Game is already on steam for wishlisting.

Thanks for the last release. I also wanted to remark the previous comment. The city is boring. I Know it will be full of action in the future, but right now is a waste of time walking around. Just an idea. Make the city smaller. Just with the active buildings and sites. And, when new areas are working, add them to the city. First because walking around is boring. And second, cose it will be very easy to realize what are the new areas.

That is sadly not feasible with how it is implemented at the current moment.
The way the city and all maps are made is in parallax with multiple layers like shadows and light textures and not over tilesets. So if we want to make it smaller, we would need to edit and redo multiple files which would cost probably as much time as making a small quest or activity. We will try to add more activities to make the city less boring. Thanks for the feedback!

Just a heads up, the Live2D folder got deleted in some of the download links. I was having trouble with this, but pulled the folder from the previous patch. That or it kept getting corrupted when downloading.

Thanks for the heads up, was that from the main downloads? Or one of the alternative ones?

MegaNz (same link as public patreon and itch.io, I think). Also has same issue on Pixeldrain. The Drive link got flooded, so not sure about that one.

P.S. Love the story so far!

I checked the archive and the live2d is on the download. Might be purely a download issue, gonna look into it.

Glad you enjoy the story so far!

Resolved the issue, "Extract All" with windows kills a bunch of the folders in this version. (Apparently, it was working for the previous version, so there weren't any errors before). Need to use WinRar.

Thanks for looking into the issue!

What was the last thing you did?
Did you pick up a knife by any chance?

If you have picked up a knife, there is a blue crystal on the table if you head back to the main room, you might have missed that one.
