Hey HappyDaedalus, I'm pleased to inform you that I've bought this game on Steam and fallen completely in love with it. It's rare to find a primarily porn game that one can make a legit claim that they play for the plot, but I truly do believe I've found one I can add to that relatively short mental list so thanks for that!

I came for the X scenes, but I stayed for the story/lore and I get this weird feeling its a lot deeper than currently implemented/you have a lot planned. Also, I've got to come to an agreement with Sarah btw. Be it the mage route or the relatively short so far crime route, Alaric is irresistibly hot for some reason. His spicy scenes, and frankly just his general demeanor is really attractive to me ahaha. Maybe I'm playing with fire that isn't Sarah's, and falling too deep into the "I can fix him!" delusion but without getting too spoilery I get the feeling he's a product of his circumstances at the end of the day. I hope to see more from his route in the future, the Bonny and Clyde vibes I'm getting are really interesting.

Oh! One more thing before I go. Are there more intersecting NPC encounters planned, like a few particular instances from the Mage/Warrior intersect? I really do hope so tbh. I thought that was really interesting to see, how Sarah's former friends and family see her again after many years and see how much she's changed drastically.

Wow, thanks you for the kind words and I'm so happy to read that you've enjoyed the game so far :).

Creating an erotic game that manages to both be true to the erotic-elements, but also provides a good story, has definitely been one of my main goals with this game, so it's always great to read that people are enjoying that combination. My main design philosophy for the game is that a good story can help people connect with the characters better, and as such, also make the erotic-side of the game more impactful as well.

And Alaric is definitely one of my favorite characters to write for as well, and though he's a pretty bad guy, he's not entirely beyond redemption :). I hope to have some more updates for his crime-storyline as well this year.

And yeah, intersecting encounters from different storylines will end up hopefully being a pretty big part of the game as it continues to develop. One of the things that I hope to keep exploring is Sarah meeting characters on different routes, and seeing how differently she and they react to each other, when her situation is so different in each storyline.

So thank you again for the kind words, and I hope you'll continue to enjoy the game as it develops more :).

Yep, I won't deny that Alaric is most certainly not very high up on the moral totem pole. Still, to be perfectly honest when it comes to H-games so few people ARE perfectly pure of heart that I guess I lower my standards of judgement I guess? Anyways, more good news~ I'm funding you on Patreon now, so there is that. I think this one is gonna be worth it tbh! I just finished the current rendition of the Mage storyline not that long ago and got those dreaded words....

~For now, this is where the story ends~

T_T I honestly just can't get enough of this game's world, I wanna see it all. Know its history in its entirety. Truly, I am the Voracious Eater of Knowledge.

Edit: One more thing on the morals side; I noticed that Sarah can end up burning alive A LOT of people in the Mage route lol. For as much as she criticizes a certain group of people for not caring about humanity, she can potentially become quite the sociopath herself if the player makes such choices haha. It's kinda upsetting ngl, plus if you kill a character they'll never show up again for potential future content so its kinda not worth it imo. Both from a meta perspective, and from other PoVs.
