I just discovered this game and I am instantly in love with it. And I also have a question, as the MC gets more control over the transformation curse will they be able to undo transformations chosen previously? I have only really done the occult route, but it seems implied that it will eventually be an option and I would love some clarification.

Also I noticed that a lot of the transformations had a note that mentioned they were hidable, and I was curious what that actually means.

Finally I would like to ask if getting your hair cut would ever be an option, or if I accidently missed it at some point.

Regardless I absolutely love the game!

Hi! I'm so glad to hear you liked it.

As for your question, you will be able to restrict and undo certain transformations. For example, there are chest sizes up to 3XL in the files for the latest Patreon version, but you will have to request them. Some other transformations, like eyes, can be undone at some point.

The note just means they don't have a separate event to go with them! Like for the chest transformation you have a little event where Ethan has to choose to bind or not. The rest I don't consider significant enough to devote time and effort to making a event where Ethan has to figure something out about it. It's my way of saying "this transformation is small enough that Ethan can brush it off."

Many hair styles will be incorporated, and you will be able to go back to medium and even short hair later on in the game! Hair dye is being considered too, although it would only be visible on the paperdoll, not the CGs. (The cost would be insane)

Thank you for playing and I hope this answers everything.

Thank you for the response! I am excited for the potential of new hair styles and colors, I am always a fan of more customization.

Also, that makes sense for why those transformations say that now. I initially thought you were alluding to a more negative story path that involved choosing easily hidable transformations and taking actions to try to reverse them, like for example spending extra time exercising to try and regain muscle mass, cutting your hair back short, or choosing things like the waist transformation that can be hidden from your friends. And eventually focusing on magic to fully reject the curse. Like as an expansion of hiding what happened from your parents and friends, and how Ethan felt a need to keep it a secret at the beginning.

And again thanks for the response!

In the current update I’m gearing up to release soon, 0.22, the game leads to an early ending if you haven’t transformed to be androgynous yet. I wanted to support resistance further but it would be so much work and cost a lot more just to maintain a route that goes against the game’s core themes. That’s about it for resistance though. The game is definitely geared toward an enthusiastic protagonist!

That makes a lot of sense I imagine it's already so much work putting it all together, planning and writing all of the possible paths, and expensive to get all of the amazing art done. I am already thoroughly enjoying what's already there, and I can't wait to see where you take it!

Oh, before I forget I thought of another question, and that's if it will be possible for Ethen to change their name? Aside from the one you can input at the start. Especially as they lean into the changes more.

Yes, there will be a point where you can choose a permanent feminine name.

Especially for subjective transformations like hair, breasts, ass, height, eyes it would be nice if you could refund them some way, so we don't have to start the game from scratch all the time.
