Hello, everyone!

Just a quick update for those wondering, some of the planned tags are: Multiple Endings, Harem (optional), Sex toys, Solo, Titfuck, Anal

Although there is a solid path ahead storywise, we're always open for suggestions too as this is just the beginning.

Hope you enjoy the game! :love:
Meh Harem... dunno why so many want that, its just unrealistic as fuck (yeah yeah porn game) and makes every game and relationship build up totally pointless. I played so many games with Harem and every single one of them is getting boring VERY fast. The best games around here doesnt have harem at all, at most you can cheat on a girlfriend or mabye get 2 or 3 girls together... well which could be considered as harem too, but its another thing when the harem involves more than 3 girls, at this point its just meh... But well, thats only my opinion. And no, being "optional" doesnt make it better i think... cause how will this work? At one point you choose "ah i could bang all of them but only choose one" yeah.... sounds about a thing every guy would do. This could easily ruin the whole game. Just my 2 cents about the harem idea...

Other than that, good start, like it, looking good too, can be a good one, will watch it closely... good luck DEV, but give the "harem" a real good thaught and how you will go with it.

For just a prologue it builds up alright, the plot twist and all. I'm curious about how the story will follow for this game.

Given that we are introduced to the main LIs for this game in the prologue, I was disappointed to see Keyla was in the 'Others' category of the gallery. I'm guessing her being with Zeke means that ship has sailed and there is no way we can have anything other than a platonic friendship with her...

I messaged the dev on Twitter asking about this, this is the reply

I don't think the dev intends on NTR since he mentioned this on discord, so my guess is that Keyla will have some big things happening that will lead to splitting from Zeke.

I am more curious about that blonde girl, she looked scared when she saw the MC then later she was hiding in the cemetery eavesdropping, something is up with her!

Interesting. I am assuming something will happen at some point that will allow us to pursue Kim, even though she basically chose to end the relationship without having a proper conversation with the MC first. I can appreciate the MC being written as a good guy and not getting overly angry or upset at being ambushed/blindsided by Kim. I think it's perfectly ok to make him react a little more emotionally rather than take Kim's last second confession in a completely rational, logical, but equally unemotionally reaction... especially when you consider this is someone who he has been in a long term relationship for 6 years... it's not like they have only been dating for a year or less.

I have to say, even if/when we get a chance to still pursue Kim, the shitty way she goes about leaving the MC, without even considering asking him if he wants to come with her... Not only is she unsympathetic, but also very cruel, self-centered and completely full of herself... she has the nerve to ask her now former bf, if he is upset with her... I mean, really bitch? Not sure how others felt about her, but this clearly wasn't a choice she made on impulse, she had been acting 'off' for a little while now, but the MC chose to let her have her space and not push her.

The fact she even admits if she had spoken to him first before making her decision final, that she probably would have allowed herself to be talked out of leaving tells me she's making a choice that she's still not sure of, and potentially could be a mistake she will regret forever. If this opportunity was too good to pass up, then why not be an adult about it and talk to the MC first? I'm assuming the Dev wants her to still be considered sympathetic enough to still pursue, but I just can't forgive her for how she decided to make this decision.

As for Keyla, I know she has tried to move on from her unrequited feelings for the MC... coincidentally, she chose to try to move on with Zeke, the MC's best friend... yeah, like that's not awkward... I can guess not wanting to make the MC be a bad guy by breaking up her relationship with his best friend is not a good look for him, but if we are actually given the choice to pursue her romantically, I would in a second.

If what we have seen so far about why she went back to South Korea is everything there is to see about it, then I don't see much chance for MC and Kim to get back together. And even if they do, MC is going to be suspicious of Kim hiding anything else. That said, it feels like there is something more to this. Something that Kim is afraid of MC finding out about. Maybe about her family situation back home?

But the larger problem is that we, the audience, so far haven't been given any reason why MC should wait on Kim and get back together with her when the chance arise. We haven't been there through the ups and downs during those 6 years of MC and Kim have been together. We don't have any emotional ties to Kim. So from our point of view it is easy and rational to have the MC just forget about her and pursue someone else.

I am looking forward to how the dev will handle both MC and Kim in future updates. A lot hangs on what exactly is going on with Kim and what happens to make them meet again.

I know we are very early in the story but, I already have my eyes on another prize for MC.

For what its worth, I mostly agree with you. With what we know so far taking her back is just stupid.

But that leads me to the second point from my previous post; we don't have the same emotions and knowledge as MC. MC has strong emotions about her. We don't and it's hard to even empathize because we haven't been given the chance to care for Kim. MC knows about everything they have gone through together. We don't. Nostalgia is a powerful force. We know that there are other great LIs just waiting to pop up that definitely will say yes with enough effort. MC don't. And so on. So the choice we make is based on entirely different grounds compared to MC and what he would have chosen without a player to intervene. :)

EDIT: Forgot to add why that point is important:
We also don't know other important events in their relationship. The MC might have done similar shit himself or otherwise made poor decisions that made Kim not fully trust him. But we don't know about that, so can't choose with full knowledge in mind.

Future tags says optional harem, so you don't need to reject anyone. :)

First, far be it from me to reject anyone too quickly. I try to play the MC as closely to my own nature as the story and choices will allow. Monogamy, Polyamory, Harem are all OK for me. So, that tends to be dictated more by the story. Sometimes more than one choice will fit but, more often than not one choice fits best. I get what you are saying about needing to learn more about MC's nature and backstory and I agree it is important to the overall direction he takes. To me, though, a well written "game" has room and options for you to customize the MC's character development as the story moves forward and I am really hoping to see that kind of writing here. There is definitely a lot of potential for it - at least so it seems.

Here's to high hopes. :D

I agree. I always have a problem with ex girlfriends in visual novels because they're rarely well written and even if I'm curious enough to do multiple playthroughs, they're always my last choice. We, the players don't have that connection as the MC, like you said. Some devs put flashbacks that are suppose to help us emphatize with ex girlfriend (which I can see might be the case in the future of this game). Here, we had a glimpse of that relationship, but to the point where it can only be counted as solid reason not to take Kim back. As I stated before, I personally want to show middle finger to Kim at this point, because I can't imagine the reasons to take her back (that of course may change in the future). I think dev has got a lot of work to make many people even consider this.

Yep cause adult games can't be realistic. Cause porn doesn't happen in a monogamy relationship. Porn only happen in fantasy you think. Sex can only be achieved if its on multiple person you think.
Yea all of porn is pretty much fantasy. It's a performance, if you think porn is an accurate depiction of sexual relations then you probably never had sex in your life. Most people don't really care about realism in adult games. People want to have fun when they play these games.

Hello, everyone! I'm glad to see all the kind comments and feedback in here, thank you!!! :)
The next update's development is going at full steam and I really hope to be able to release it within the planned schedule.

Regarding the harem, in YC I will not make like many others do, where you do whatever you want and there are little to no consequences. In fact there won't be something like a menu that opens up at the opportune time so that you can choose which girl you want to end the game with, the choices you make throughout the story will determine that. The "optional" in the tag really means optional, you can choose to go with all the girls under the sun, choose only one girl at a time and say 'No' to the other ones, or even be totally alone the entire game. Each of these will ultimately bring you to a different ending.

I really don't want to spoil too much, but yes, there are main and secondary LI's. The main ones are pretty obvious already, but that does not mean everyone else isn't going to be irrelevant in the long run. In the next update I'm renaming the 'Others' category to 'Misc' to avoid any more confusion.

Lastly, the game is heavily dependent on player choices, there are of course those unavoidable plot points that will tell the story, but there are a A LOT of branching paths which will determine not only the MC's personality but also the characters you get involved with.
