EDIT: I'M FUCKING STUPID AND DOWNLOADED THE WRONG ONE, DISREGARD THE CRITICISMS SAID HERE

{{{{Played v0.1.3}}}}

Pretty good! I was initially really weirded out by the models, they looked clunky and like they were put together with clay. Not as polished as they are in the thumbnail. But I got used to it. (In-game In-game they look fine. But when talking to eachother their sprites look weird)

The moment I was able to FREE ROAM was a big shock, not many porn games have that and it was a really cool surprise. It certainly kept the game genuinely interesting. (I expected this to be a visual novel)

The writing is a little hit or miss, but its not too bad.

AN INTERACTIVE PORN SCENE???? Its very rare you ever see these, and typically its just raising the tempo or whatever. But you can actually MOVE things during this one. And actually zoom in as well. (I just wish I could turn the camera, that's always been a bit of a peeve of mine)

Took me about three hours to finish the demo. 

Really promising! 


There's certainly a few bugs though (Not anything game breaking)

Sometimes you spawn in a sitting position and slide around like that until you open a door and it fixes itself

The house (city hall?) on top of the hill isn't on flat ground, you can see under the front right corner. Also on the way to the city hall-like building there's a random deep gap on the grass that I fell in, took me a bit to get back out. (Its in-between the two roads on the way up the hill)

There's also an odd leveling issue between the road and the grass, the road is like, a few inches higher and you have to jump onto it.

Camera spazzes when entering the bathroom and immediately trying to get back out

Sometimes floating to the side of the bike when equiping it

The orange haired girls boobs spazzing out for a moment when deep throating

Camera sometimes clipping under the map when riding on a hill

Trucks driving on air at the beginning of the tunnel. And I also saw some girl at the roof of the tunnel just floating there in a sitting position??

Sometimes you say "Bye" or "night" twice before ending the conversation

Minor skirt glitches, I don't know if the violent skirt flare is intentional, but afterwards the top part of the skirt like, clips in with their lower back and is stuck.

The ladder in the library is a bit finicky to select

"Peep through hole" option appearing when you angle it torwards the picture on the wall (After the event) I thought it was still an option, so I spent like 5 minutes trying to angle it right to get the button to appear, and when I did, pressing E did nothing.


Here's some things that just personally bothered me:

There's a bunch of models down at the beach that straight up just don't move, pretty creepy. At least give them breathing animations or something

(I know its only a demo) But there's not much room for exploration, any time you explore or try to talk to old characters again you get the same dialogue or absolutely nothing

I cant change my point of view. Being SO CLOSE to the character you play as strained my eyes, but I got used to it. I still would prefer to zoom out a bit.

No gallery? I know this is a demo, and I certainly eyed that sandbox mode, but right now the only way to access the one scene (and the peep hole scene) is to have a save right before it happens.

The tools shop is oddly empty, and the guy does a weird face after closing his store. Not sure if that's intentional.

There's absolutely nobody driving the cars. Sheesh, at least put a grey figure  and tint the windows

Maybe in the future an option to change the haircut? How it looks in the thumbnail is good, but in game its... Worse for wear.

Note, all those things were just minor bugs or peeves that will (hopefully) be fixed in due time. I look forward to this!

v0.1.3 that explains a lot :D
We enjoyed reading it though. Thanks for the in-depth comment. :)

Yep, sorry! I skimmed through the chapters in version 0.9.0 and everything is SO much better, I hardly have any complaints anymore. Maybe some kind of mini-map would be nice? That's really about it besides some more general NPC interactions.

The only glitch I really found was a river behind the abandoned church you can fall in while on bike. And you fall pretty far and land in some ravine-like area under the map. Walking down it a while makes you fall until you respawn.


Although I have to ask, why were the school outfits changed to casual outfits?  I personally liked the old ones, lol (Maybe add a button to swap them?)

Also the personality of the orange haired girl was changed to be WAY less "fuck anyone she sees"? Any reason for that? The peep hole scene was also changed


Other than that, I'm looking forward to this game EVEN more! It looks really good! And it captures a stylized fictional look for the characters that's not really anime, but also not really realistic, really well!! It's pretty rare to see anything with a different style other than anime or realistic. (I'm personally really not a fan of the realistic ones, they look pretty uncanny)

I also noticed some tweaks to the writing that made it much better, everything about this got so much more promising.


My only other complaint is, I cant download version 0.10.0 on the Itch app? 

And I notice all the versions are separate, is there any way you could make a version that gets auto-updated? (Itch.io app compatible) I use my computer on a pretty slow hotspot so it takes literally all day to download bigger games lmao

Wonderful! :)
A minimap could be a thing in the future.
We have more NPC interactions in 0.10.0.

We changed the school outfits to not mess with Steam's terms and conditions as we want to release Monolith Bay on Steam later this year. You can still change clothing for NPCs and get the school outfit back. Just go to the character creator load 'NPC_name' change anything you like and overwrite it with the same name. This will change the appearance of the NPC in story and adult sandbox mode.

Some people complained that she is to slutty in that manner and they didn't liked it. At the same time nobody told us that it is great that she is that way, so we changed that. :)

In case you didn't know, if you want to skip dialogues faster you can hit ESC during a dialogue and choose the fast forward option.
F = first person view
C = ragdoll mode

For now we only have separate versions sorry.

For v0.10.0 we only put in the mega link. All the other versions are uploaded directly to itch.io. Here you can get the latest free version https://www.patreon.com/posts/release-public-0-40486587

Thanks again for your kind words! :)
