Just finished this and I got to say I'm impressed. The writing is good, the renders are good, solid pacing, overall a very good experience! I'm looking forward to seeing this grow! Great job Nev, keep it up!
When update
it's amazing this project, there's a lot of stuff for the first release, and i really really enjoyed it, i'm very happy that i found it. Take care mate!
For a first version there sure is a lot of stuff, nice. Will this be more of a harem game, or more like Visual Novels with specific paths for each girl? Personally i'd prefer harem cause usually for these hentai games i'd rather go with everyone than having to choose, but ultimately i accept the vision the dev has to make the story flow.
Regardless, this has the potential to be one of the best free koikatsu-style hentai games on Itch, alongside Corrupted Kingdoms and Goddesses' Whim.
Thank you! And it'll be more of a harem game
It's crazy how much content there is on the first release, looking forward for the following chapters. I really like your game.
This game is just wow, the last time I really wanted to read all the dialogues was in Corrupted kingdom
I hope that the developer will not abandon this game, and good luck in development
um jogo com bastante potencial eu diria, estou ansioso pela próxima atualização.
so espero que nenhuma garota fique de lado com o tempo.
I've played a lot of these games, and yet I dont really leave comments on them. Many of them don't really reach me. That being said, I think the characters (especially Sera) are fun and adorable. This game has potential, and it'd be nice to see it continue to be worked on. Hoping things fall in your favour in that regard. Looking forward to more.
Thank you! That means a lot
No footjob for now?
Spanish?
你有中文吗？
Loved everything about that you did with this game. The dialogue, events, story, animations, characters, honestly everything was really good.
Looking forward to future releases. Keep up the good work!
I plan to become pregnant in the future without NTR, which is very exciting
One error I see is in all the text that isn't controlled by the text speed slider that pops up on the screen word after word is going too fast, it doesn't even get the whole sentence inputted into the chat box or the middle of the screen before moving on to the next line. Every one of them is like that. Like when we meet the girl on the bridge and it starts typing out what I assume says, her mom told her to get a job, before the whole sentence even appears it skips to the next line of text. We only get to read half the sentence
Sorry I'm a bit confused what you mean. Which text? I've been trying to replicate this and it is controlled by text speed preference on my end. Do you mean on auto?
There are some dialogue where it's intentional that it cuts off mid-sentence, for example:
"{cps=20}Then, she told me to get a j-{nw}"
I'm assuming this is what you mean?
ah yes, all those. It goes so fast you barely get to read it, I could never tell if it was a complete sentence or not. Most of the time I have to scroll back to see it again. I thought they were always just jumping to the next line of text. There is a lot of those in there that do that lol. They might need slowed down a little
It's affected by text speed and auto speed, so you can always adjust those if it’s too much. That said, I’ll make sure to reduce using that approach for dialogue—it never really clicked that it might feel unintuitive, especially for players who use auto or have different settings. In the future, I’ll find a better way to convey interruptions, maybe just using a simple em-dash.
Thanks so much for taking the time to report this. I genuinely appreciate it!
I lowered the auto speed all the way down. I've never had to adjust that in any VN I've played. Thanks for the answer, I would have never knew what to adj since I've never had to. Thank you :) Enjoying the VN so far
Judging from the beginning I'm assuming Lesbian content will be avoidable?
Hope so
It will, yeah. After a few more player rejection choices in future updates, it'll be completely locked and avoidable. This doesn't include during threesomes, but that would also be optional.
Threesomes are fine I don't personally like straight up Lesbian content in these games so good to hear it's avoidable at least
You have gained my follow, thank you for being mindful like that mate
Lesbian content you say, well time to move this up closer to the top on the to play next list.
What future tags are you planning? Harem? ntr/sharing? Pregnancy? futa/trans? femdom?
Updated the description for future planned tags, probably not complete. Thanks for the reminder!
Plz add futa girl will you.
Let me know if there are any problems with the downloads or the game! This is my first time releasing anything—ever—so it's really nerve-wracking. Having people check it out means the world to me. Also, I’m terribly sorry if there are any English errors—it's not my first language, but I tried my best to meticulously check for grammar mistakes.
Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and I appreciate your patience and understanding as I continue improving the game. 🥹
Harem or solo love interest? And NTR or no NTR? The two major questions. Of course the good form of ntr (netori) is always welcome. Thanks for the VN share
It's harem, and there will never be any NTR. Thank you!
Bro, you forgot to add harem tag
It's in the tagline and the tags
