Hey Az, the game is amazing, waiting for episode 9 to drop. I just wanted to know how many episodes do you think the game will have in total? And when do you think you will be able to complete the game?

(+2)(-9)

seems like scam at this point

(+7)

Why? Because it takes so long for a single person to release parts of a game he's doing on his own?

its been a year bro 

(+6)

If you are reading this comment then please know that YOU ARE AWESOME. Sorry can't support with money as of now, but I really liked your game. I hate that I couldn't see the whole story, but I'm still glad I played it.

(+4)

Really appreciate the care that went into unique character design and character development. Too many AVNs have shallow or idealized characters. A story about people who are just like total messes at life is a breath of fresh air. Plus 10/10 flawless renders. Great game so far

you cant be talking about the manchild  mc  then. I agree about all the other characters for sure just not the mc. Sadly most vn's have the same stereotypical badly written main characters. This game doesn't suffer because of the mc. The game thrives because of how well written the characters are written and it is only because of how much work he put into those characters that the game doesn't train wreck into a mess. Every vn centers around the MC, if the main protagonist is badly written,  then it makes it far too hard to look past him or her.  Most MC's are only added to the vn during late development because its easier to work him or her into the story, while everything is in place.

I know quite a few devs who do this. they know what he will and will not do, but he isnt fleshed out until later in the development phase. Also most MC's are completely one dimensional in that there is nothing to them , they behave like a child in a man's body or appear to be mentally challenged..only because some dev's couldn't care less about the mc.  Stop and read how the mc's responds and talks in this vn, the guy is completely shallow, behaves like a child, speaks like he suffers from mental retardation. Says things that don't fit with the way he says things. Especially in chapter 8 in particular, it was almost like the mc was switched with someone else, because the manner and style he spoke in where completely inconsistent with how he has consistently spoken in previous chapters. There should have been more choices for the MC to make when and during the sister and father scenes.  We where basically forced into making choices that in the end where no choices at all just the illusion we had. Instead of doing that, its better not to give choices at all if the outcome is the same regardless.

Overall it does NOT make it a bad game at all, quite the opposite in fact, when I play games like this, I like to be immersed, the game sucks me into it's story, which it did and I enjoyed it.

Even for one person to be doing this vn, it's been quite some time since the last update.  I know there are people out there that could help him if he wanted it, but I suspect he wants to do it all himself which is fine.

Those that attack others regarding how long the last update has taken. You do realize eventually even his most ardent supporters on patreon or wherever will stop that support if there is nothing and you can't blame them either. I don't know if the dev has suspended his patrons from having to pay him while there are been absolutely nothing for so long.

The only reason I post here, is because I care about the development and continuation of this game, but I have seen enough games get to a certain point that the dev for whatever his or her reason has no choice but to quit development.  All this mental illness excuses many devs use is just a copy and paste impasse, I don't buy all of it, sure there might be an odd one or two here and there, but I wasn't born yesterday to be fobbed off with excuses when i see them, and this is a growing problem with many adult vn devs, but they still expect their patrons to give them money for nothing under the guise I am still working on the project and all they get is a handful of renders or very tiny updates, just so their work doesn't get the abandonded tag and they loose their patrons.  I am NOT saying this happening here at all, I am just saying this bs is happening on most adult vn's but they still want to scam their patrons into subbing them by them giving their subs excuses.

One man or not, real issues or not, It has been a very long time since the last update, ep8.  There are plenty of adult vn's out there done by just 1 person, take wartribe, which is a lot more involved than this game. It is written, rendered and animated by just 1 person and he gives plenty of decent sized updates every couple months, he doesn't work on it full time, he still has to go to work and do real life stuff. So yeah I am getting very suspicious regardless what he has written on patreon, anyone would do the same thing so as to avoid getting the abandoned tag, and then loss of money from patrons. 

People need to see an sizeable update soon, because I think this game will get the abandoned tag before too long.

(+3)(-4)

soon be nearly 7 months since the last update, beginning to wonder if this game has been abandoned recently or not. sure has been a long time though.

(+4)

It says it has been updated 38 days ago

(+8)(-1)

There's only a single dev working on this and they put in A LOT of effort into it, so yeah it'll for sure take some time. Support them on patreon if you really like it. A few bucks a month to help it get along would be very helpful, I'm sure

(+2)

If only there was a link to his Patreon in the more information section where you could read his updates...

(+2)

The Patreon link is above, listed under MORE INFORMATION. Hope that helps, it is also always under that, if available.

(+7)

The renders on this vn are something else - it's miles above everything else. The artistic qualities of the creator really show. 

(+2)

I'm hooked! I really enjoy the story and how each relationship plays off of eachother for CP and LP. I played through over and over to get each scene unlocked. I can't wait to see how the story continues. I would marry an Emily on the spot!

Take your time Dev! Take care of yourself and let your fans help where and when they can. A lot of us are in a similar situation, working our butts off day in and day out, so you are not alone! You can get through this!

(+2)

I love these episodes got me wanting more

(+2)

I just got done playing the Ash path, and I must say it's quite interesting.  If played right, I would label it more like a powerplay relationship rather than domination.  Back to back teetering of power, but in a caring way.  I will have to run through the other paths but I couldn't stop but take a beautiful canvased beauty as my first pick.  her story... all I gotta say s grab your floaters and life jackets.  You're going to need em.

As for the game itself, first, the intro song.  Never change it!  It's beautiful, and it fits the game perfectly.  Next, I hit the end of EP 8 and I felt a pit in my stomach knowing it was about to end, and when it did... I sat down and listened to the intro again.  The only big downside, and in many ways also an upside, is if you chose Ash, you miss out on quite a lot.  But, it makes a lot of sense to do so.  I love how choices Truly do matter, and not just "yeah it's just filler"  The characters are all great, so much depth, you feel as if you are actually talking to real people, well as real as games without immersive AI goes, something we don't have the tech for.  Every character has some true emotion.  

Needless to say I can't wait till Ep 9, who knows... maybe some doctor life paths may come to play.  She seems like she would be quite fun to toy with, just like Em.

Seriously??? I'm 4th episode in an not once have I got laid wow seriously wow do you ever get to have sex in your sex game... Like seriously I want to love this game because the story is great but I'm dead ass serious do you ever get laid in this game or is it constant build ups that hit brick walls all day? Real talk I've never seen so many build ups that hit brick walls don't get me wrong I like to have some story build up before it gets to sex scenes but I'm half way threw your game an ain't done shit but wack off!!! Wtf 

(+3)

Honestly so far, the only actual sex scene I've seen in the game was with Ashley on episode 7, and you can miss it completely of you pursue Emily who's supposed to be the main girl in the game.

(+2)(-1)

Well, for some players building relations is more important than meaningless sex, how strange it wouldn't sound. There are games where you f*ck everything which does not escape on a tree but they are really boring.

I agree, but after 8 episodes, you'd expect to see some action at this point, I'm not complaining, I really like this game and the story (even though MC can be a bit of a bitch sometimes), but I understand some people's frustrations regarding the lack of sexual content

Well, what I truly desire is that Ashley's sister falls in love with me (i.e. with the MC). This is the only really attractive female character in the game for someone who  find tattoos and piercing disgusting. But I know this would be hard to achieve. Emily is cute but not really a beauty.

(1 edit) (+3)

I actually like that this game doesn't have like "conventionaly* attractive characters that look like super model, cookie-cutter, superficial bimbos and are more grounded, I feel like that makes you focus on the relationship building aspect of the game rather than just a bunch of sex scenes put together with a sloppy excuse of a story, I agree that Ashley's sister is attractive but so far that's the only thing going for her, tho I reserve my judgement, I mean, we've only know her for a single episode and is not the best person ever, I still think that all of the girls are attractive in their own right, Kuneida is too god damn cute, I really like tattoos so Ashley is super hot for me, as for Sam well nothing beats a good MILF and Emily is the type of girl I'd actually go for in real life.

HI Feedback for you !!! i just found a funny weird scene in the story i wonder if any one else spotted it its when the 3 of them get off the train for work and * EM * puts her number and the other number for the other girl, nothing funny about that until the eagle eyed might have spotted the time they get off the train for work lol, LMAO, 15.44 or 3.44 pm in the afternoon PMSL !!!


First, this is an amazing game, one of the best VN's I've played and am excited to keep supporting it in the future. Truthfully, just the damn song at the start screen had me in my feels which is also why I'm here, what song was that??? I can't find it online, does anyone know what that first song that plays at the start up is? Besides that tho, I'm going happy ending in my route, I want affection with just the right amount of corruption lol 

The song is called Will You Wait by Marisa Law.

(+3)

I do have a suggestion of something you could out in the game, it's just a big shame that I have to pay on patreon to get in contact with you on discord. After all, it's something for the game.

And I can't say this enough, I love this game and I have done so for at least a year.

Really? I enjoyed it, never cried while playing a vn... But I respect your opinion

Well, I was frustrated that I have no impact on what's going on and I cannot chose girl which I want to have relation with. There were no meaningful choices.

(1 edit) (+1)

Yeah, Megan was a forced Li.

(+1)(-1)

Forced romances and sexual encounters are a big problem in a lot of these adult VNs. Way too many force sex with random characters, or characters you don't like, on you. In Acting Lessons, no matter what you do that one girl is always your girlfriend. Your character will always fall in love with her regardless. Probably its biggest flaw, tbh. 

If your story has no room for choices, then don't give the player the illusion of choice, it just pisses them off.

Hey Az - Az!
Love your game, completed the latest chapter last night. Although, I came across something weird:

[THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS]


When talking to Ashlyn (Lynn) about Ashley (Ash), she had said something like believing I had already had my way with her sister, where you have a flash back to the scene of her giving you a BJ in your room and on the couch in the lounge room (Which I assume was the same day you are to play games with Em)

Although, what is weird is I never actually got that scene, when Ash attempted to 'seduce' me in the lounge room after Em left to get changed and whatnot, I didn't act on it. (I am going for an Emily playthrough atm and wasn't sure how my relationships with some people impact my relationships with others - Although I now know the game warns you about such dire decisions).

I am not complaining or anything, I love your games, both the visuals and story are incredible, but i thought I should tell you just to let you know of any potential future.

Keep up the amazing work!!

(+3)(-1)

Not finished with the game yet but I can assure you that this is a top AVN. The story doesnt feel rushed and the plot is very wide(as of episode 6). Since Im broke and can't give money or donation to the creator, I offer my 5 star rating and this recommendation text.

please someone tell me the song that plays at the menu

Will you wait by Marisa Law

are there any other games like this?  this game is awsome on so many levels

(+5)(-1)

"sisterly lust" by perverteer is pretty great.

I wouldn't consider it very similar honestly, but for those who play it, definitely use a walkthrough if you want to complete as many paths in it as possible because it's otherwise easy to make a single choice that boxes you out of many other possibilities. I learned that the hard way (expending large amounts of time replaying it until I gave up) and have not wound up opting to re-download it and use said walkthroughs. So again, definitely use one!

(+4)

hey Az, saw your a bit burnt out and stressed, wanted to say i fully support you and hope youre doing okay, take your time and relax a little :)

Anyone know if there are any games out there similar to HH? I just want something to hold me off.

when can we expect the next episode, please?

(+9)

No date so far, just read his patreon, he's halted all payments because he's stressing out, been working 18 hour days. So lets give him some slack, it's a big chapter coming out, dont expect it too soon. I for one would rather have a finished game at the end than Az burning out from being overworked. :-)

(+5)

I agree, lets just give space and be greatful

(+2)

Been a minute since I have seen/heard anything from this.  Still being worked on or can I add this to my ever growing list of good games gone vaporware?

(+2)(-1)

No need to worry just check Az's patreon from time to time and you'll see updates there from time to time without needing to be a patreon.

(+1)

SInce it has been 5 months since episode eight came out, stress or no stress, yes you can add it to that list of vaporware.

I'm hooked on your story. I also can't wait for you to release more episodes. Love ya work mate.

Hello

Hey , do you Reddit ? I subscribe on you for check new episodes 🙂

When is the next chapter gonna arrive?

What are the bonus 1 and 2 downloads?

Short animations like a single scene

GDrive link for Win/Linux no longer allows DL.

I can't seem to unlock "Emily first touch" in episode eight. Where can I go for a guide? Thanks.

you have to do the corrup rute but dont kiss her in the train

I really like the game and was wondering if there was a discord server for this game so I can keep up with the updates and if there is one where can I find it

I think it isn't one, but you could try to create one and maybe someone is interested on it too

Re: Halfway House EP8 Ma - google says "file is too big to scan for viruses, do you want to download anyway"  Clicking Download Anyway results in blank page and no download.  Please assist.

Is there by any means NTR in this game?.. I had this VN a while back but the MC looked like a rapist so i deleted the game lol.. Now I'm giving it another chance but only if there's no NTR in this mf

There is one attempted, but not by the MC

(+2)(-2)

is it rape if everything is predetermined by quantum events therefore true consent is not even possible?

(1 edit) (+2)

Hey AZ great game played it a little while ago was waiting for the next update for awhile when is it coming?  It is well written and intriguing. Great character development.

(+5)

IDK if I have commented on this game or not, but let me again exclaim my love for this game. Not only the characters are enjoyable to be around, but the story itself has been interesting. I know the pacing of the story is slow, but that's what I like about it. A lot of visual novel games I played seem to rush a bit too quick in certain situations and locations, are not fully develop the story there and it had been annoying for my part. It's not a bad thing to rush into the juicier part of the story, but you sometimes have to slow things down and experience the now moment. With this game, you can develop more character interactions and get more invested. Maybe that's just my opinion.  

Anyway, Emily is by far the wholesomest (is that a word?) character in all the VNs multiverse I played. It can't be helped since she's the best girl in the story. Ashley is alright and her whole anime arc was enjoyable. Samantha is okay too.

Again, love the game and I love your creative writing, Az. I don't know if there's a lot of people telling you this but let me be one of those people. I appreciate you Az.

I am hurt that you forgot about best boy Monroe and big bro Luis. For the rest, I totally agree

(+2)

Google drive is giving the "too many people" error consider switching to mega or a different file host

Also, the Ashley scene is Episode 7 doesn't appear to exist anymore either. I have her Maxed out, but when I get to where it's supposed to be in Ep 7, there is no option or prompt for it. It just goes straight from the train, to dinner, to the scene with Samantha. And because that scene doesn't exist anymore, you lose Max with her and the end of this Episode.

i think what prompt it was the choice when you get to choose to lean left or right while waiting for the train. you're suppose to lean left if you want to get sexy scene with ashley

(2 edits)

I have been retrying the options over and over in the first Chapter, and can never Max out Emily's stats. It's either 7/10, 3/5 or 10/10, 2/5. There seems to be some options that don't appear anymore if you look at guides online. There is no option about fixing the door in the game, that I could find and that's what the guides seem to be referring to.

And because that option doesn't appear to be there anymore, it closes off all of the "point requirement" options with Emily later on in the game. You can't even get her to feed you in Chapter 2 when you're in the hospital.

For feeding her you need frendship full and for corruption full you need to be as slutty with her as possible

(+3)

any idea when the next couple episodes are due out, really looking forward to seeing ashley and sam again for sure, especially ashley, hopefully the mc can have a love relationship with her. the sex is secondary for me, but the girls do look beautiful, seeing them being naughty with the mc is a bonus. thanks for all your hard work on this vn, one of the superior avn's out there. just wish the mc was not a retard and it would be perfect.

(+2)

Well based off of how it has been I would not expect ep 9 until  Sept or Oct. I wish I was being a smart ass but not. Developer has always been upfront regarding priorities so just set back and watch for it.

(+3)(-1)

It really is a shame how long it takes.... But at the same time nobody can complain. It's quality work done by one guy. He's a bro.

(+2)

I agree 100 percent.  I  also  am a supporter of the developer.  It is funny type of hobby to have i guess. To be so good that people are willing to pay you to forgo your on principals, ha ha. So many burn up and never finish  some really good stories, that I am  just happy that here is one who found a way to balance life and hobby together, for all of us.

(+2)

About a year ago or so, Az actually almost let the pressure of pushing out updates get the better of him. I and a couple others made sure to encourage him to keep doing it at his own pace, to ensure he makes it exactly how he's envisioned it, and not let the impatience of many get to him. Fortunately, that seemed to really be what he needed, as he clearly hasn't been anywhere close to that point again since.

(+1)

And that is one of the best unknown reasons to have a supporters page, to get real support! When the creator truly embraces the base, they learn to grow and not just have a one way relationship. Great job.

(+1)

thanks! ive got plenty of other vn's i am in the middle of, which i am really enjoying. I can happily wait without impatience for the next couple of updates, it cant be easy being the only making this vn and all that entails.
