Like many others, I initially downloaded this game only because I wanted to get to the NSFW scenes as fast as possible.
But for anyone who's about to download this game only to just straight-up skip the entire story save for NSFW scenes : Don't. You'd be missing out, in my opinion, on one of the most full-fledged story-wise gay VNs out there. I caught myself falling in love with the characters and their routines, their interactions, their feelings (with Zack being quite relatable in certain ways).
The whole story feels so alive, so realistic, it almost gives that "I've been there" vibe that you can feel all the way up to the ending.
I've completed the "rough draft" and I've played what's been done so far in the remaster. The latter is of such high quality that it's honestly really hard for me to recommend the rough draft instead of waiting for the remaster to be fully completed. But on the other hand, you don't want to miss out on that story, so go check out that rough draft and appreciate it for what it is. You even get to see how quickly the developer picked up on how to write good dialogues and set up good scenes.
All in all, a huge recommendation from me. Thank you for this game, can't wait to replay through it once the remaster is fully out!
heya, i really appreciate your thoughts and experiences with the game. you have a shared experience with a lot of people that's just fun for me. for people to download the game for the adult content, only to be distracted by substance is just fun to me. the rough draft is exactly what you said, it's the audience watching me figure out how to create this thing in real-time. we have a lot of purist fans out there that really like this version because they've been following it for a long time. they've seen my struggles and cheered me on to keep going. there's some triumph to that for the audience. The revamp is very much me taking a deep breath with a lot more confidence and saying to fans, if you liked it before, watch what i can do now that i've learned a few things.
the next part of chapter 2 just dropped today so go check it out. massive upgrade to that chapter and extended sequences and more changes and i hope you continue to enjoy it. thank you so much for the recommendation <3
