oh wow, this was a ride for me! i literally only found this by going through games listed as nsfw and text-based, looking for...something almost exactly like this. (and i only say "almost" because i'm probably not the main intended audience - queer woman instead of queer man, and i know i'm not obligated to "confess" this, and not that i didn't enjoy the game fully, i just don't want to make this weird, and i think i'll shut up now) i clicked because the title got my attention :D great job and thank you so much! the story was very good and balanced with the actual porn scenes, i could focus my attention at the story aspects too, and as a previous commenter said, it would be compelling even without the sex scenes! i was initially a bit...wary at the beginning about the mutations, seeing as i played corruption of champions before this, and sometimes that got too much and too distracting, here it was just very hot <3
the scavenging thing was interesting, too, but i didn't really get anywhere with it, but maybe i just didn't have the patience :D oh, and another little thing, thank you so much for the little text that always shows where you are in relation to the town, and where you need to go if you're on a quest, i'm so bad at remembering this stuff.
my favourite parts were probably a) the one with brulvundojn if MC goes to him when he has astau's eggs, b) when MC asks ophion for the lightrot, b2) really just ophion scenes in general. but really i loved it all, as i said, wonderfully done, thank you so much, i'll definitely check out your other works <3
very belatedly, but i'd just like to thank you for your comment! whenever i get a long comment i always want to wait until i can compose a proper response and then most of the time enough time goes by that i forget entirely.
anyway i'm glad you enjoyed the game! (personally i think that the whole like, queer fandom spaces are appropriating gay men's lifestyles, discourse point is incredibly ridiculous & ultimately anybody who enjoys the game is welcome to it. anyway that's a tangent.)
i tried to strike a balance between character interaction and sex, and although i think in retrospect i could've easily added like 30% more dialog sequences for everybody, on the whole i'm glad people are enjoying it. and yeah like, definitely some games have a certain tone with their transformation content that i didn't really want to hit with this, so i'm glad that worked for you too.
anyway thanks for the comment! it's always good to hear from people who played the game
