Loved all of the characters and the lore too! Mori is definitely my favourite, even though his chapter felt pretty small. Excited to see how the story will go!
I know everybody loves the characters (Akello is my boo <3), but as an artist, what really stood out to me was the background work. Like, everything looks so clean and polished despite this only being a demo. They aren't to bright meaning they don't overshadow the character sprites, yet they still manage to give a certain futuristic urban vibe. They are really well done and show a great eye for detail. I've done plenty of backgrounds, and seen hundreds more, but these are impeccable! Love the work put into the smallest details, so keep it up cause I can't wait to see what the finished product looks like!
I love this game so much! Sadly, I can't get the monster form ending for Akello for some reason. I'll probably have to replay that route a lot to figure it out
I'm a bit confused about what exactly it means by featuring three endings in the individual intro pages as far as I can tell the existing previews are somewhat linear and end with the credits and saying that it's a preview
Thanks for playing! Each concept chapter can end with a different sex scene: getting with the RO in their monster form, their human form, or simply declining to have sex altogether.
I see welp time to download them all again and make sure to get all endings unfortunately I can't keep them on my phone forever simply because of how bad my phone
Ngl I mostly played this to help me decide which character to choose for the tiddie mouse pad 😂
......it did not help LOL
I liked Amir's story the best but Mori is more personally my type (you had me at "drummer in a punk band") Akello being a slime monster taps into a type I'm not used to seeing a lot, so that'll be a fun and interesting experience.
I loved the BGM too! Especially the way it kicked in at really tense moments. I don't usually pay much attention to BGMs but this one stood out.
lol! Thank you so much for playing! Obviously I love all three of them dearly but Amir's story is especially fun to write. Also, glad you took note of the BGMs, future updates are getting some custom tracks but some of the themes that have already been established will be coming back, too!
super excited to write this review after catching up on the latest demos and here's what I had to happily share:
the character art is GORGEOUS!!! no seriously, I love the diverse features of each of the guys and I'm especially biased towards big gentle bear Akello (he's just my type and I rarely see it so thank u <3)
tired of the typical skinny pretty boy in vns? studio peaches says "here, FEAST!" and hurdle 3 sexy mfs at you
writing is fun, sexy, and the world building established in the demos easily peaked my curiosity (had minor typos but mostly nothing too disrupting)
doesn't hold back on the monster aspect of the guys' appearances and I really appreciate that cause they look super cool
have never broken a bone before but would gladly do so to be tenderly cared for by Akello
Thank you so much for sharing! I'm so happy you enjoyed playing and SO happy you enjoyed Akello, he's such a gentle giant and I'm always on the lookout for characters like that!
I just played through all of these <333 I honestly love all three characters and the worldbuilding and designs. My favorite is def Akello but honestly all three of them won my heart by the end. Really fantastic descriptions and pacing throughout as well. I felt each storyline did a good job of both setting up the character and establishing why would they would be willing to have sex with the protag under the circumstances (obviously the most important plot point).
Very excited to see the final product when it is finished!
Edit: I also have to say, loved the sound track! I just had the game playing in the background while I did work hehe.
Thank you so much for playing! Akello's been picking up a fair number of fans lately and I'm so happy to hear it! There's something about a chill, mature guy like him that makes me totally weak in the knees. Can't wait to bring you more!
OMG, that was so good, Sam - inclusive, super hot and Akello is my new husband ❤️wishlisted on steam, followed you guys on tumblr and I think I need to support your kickstarter.
THANK YOU! The support means so much and goes so far to keep the game moving through development on schedule! I'm super excited for what's coming down the line and can't wait to share more of Akello with you!
I love him so much, I had a lot of fun writing a very gentle/caring character after Mori being a chaotic goblin and Amir being incredibly spiky and dramatic lol!
Wow. That was a wild ride!! That was SO cool to experience. It was only in the course of a day and just a demo, but Amir really took me on a wild ride. And yes, I was clutching onto my seatbelt for dear life.
He's very fascinating! I was and am very invested in his revenge panning out. Thanks for not killing me buddy, you wanna be friends after this? Surely this means we're friends now.
It was rather short, but seeing the effect of his supernatural compulsion, the way he just kinda charmingly but clearly sweeps MC along to his rhythm with no warning was exhilarating as well as terrifying.
It's kinda funny. To me, it didnt feel right to sleep with Amir right away. Oh sure he says he was ffine with it, but in the course of a day, i ended up caring about him a lot. I was a lot more interested in hearing about his life, and his husband Matias than i was in getting in his pants. (Even if that's the intention!)
Speaking of, it was so evocative, expressing just how much Matias meant to Amir. The way it's described how soft and delicate the brush strokes were in drawing him. The constant and consistent appearances of Matias in Amir's sketchbook. And im sure, if there'd been more time to look at the other sketchbooks, Matias would dominate the space as well. Is there no way to? at least take him out of the ring...
Oh, and Amir's demon form is AWESOME. It wasn't just some guy with horns and a tail, he looked very much like. a metaphysical concept that was bending reality a little just by existing in physical space. absolutely cool. i also love, ha, how absurd sex while in his demon form would be. demon dick?? sure!!! just dont think about it too hard...
Whatever happens next, I can't wait to see what you do!!
WOW thank you so much for playing and for sharing your thoughts!! Amir's a really fun character to write because he's got a lot of layers and one of the things I've always liked about him is that casual sex isn't hard to get with him usually but making a deeper emotional connection takes patience on the MC's part. Like he much more guarded about his emotions and his past and I'm super happy that clicked with you! Resolving Amir's vendetta and the situation with Matias will be part of his larger, more in-depth character route that's in development right now!
Will there be any way to be a top only? As one (I know.. am not fun..), I'd love if that was an option! (and maybe for bottoms, a way to be bottom only, so it'd be fairer)
Thanks so much for playing! I'm currently experimenting with topping/bottoming preferences in subsequent chapters. The next two intro chapters have slightly more preference choice trees during the sex scenes but I'd like to refine it further and give players as much rein over that as possible in the full game. :D
Also, that sounds great, thanks for the info! One of the games(don't want to ad to avoid taking interest from this one) I played had a choice, right on the main scene which made it so much more enjoyable, as it was already special/enjoyable with such a great story build-up;
I've played a few games like that too and I do like having everything be kind of out in the open to the player. Thanks for letting me know your thoughts, I'll keep them in mind as I continue development!
Hey there, thanks for commenting! Basically, renpy has lots of trouble running in certain browsers and unfortunately its kind of out of my control. I recommend downloading the game and playing that way. I've had some luck with people trying different browsers (like Firefox) too but results have kinda varied. I hope that helps and thanks for letting me know!
Yes, right now I'm planning on about 6-8 cgs per character route in the main game. Most of them will be explicit/fully 18+ with a mix of both monster and human forms, though there will also be some non-explicit cgs of important story moments too.
Mori will be getting 18+ cgs in the future, and Amir's intro (now in early access / will be public in a few months) does have an explicit cg. :)
Right now I'm not planning to give the MC their own sprite. That might be a feature I add in later down the road in the form of a character creator but that'll will depend on time/resources/demand :D Thanks for reaching out!
Thank you so much for playing! Right now this chapter is like a character beta as I work to create the full cast of characters. Once I get through those I'm going to begin development on the main game, which will have character routes that are much longer with many chapters each. As for your second question, there are explicit CGs planned for future chapters. Mori didn't end up with one in his intro simply because it had started out as a game jam entry and that wasn't allowed. The character chapter currently open to patrons (Amir) does have an explicit CG). In the full game, I'm hoping to have 6-8 CGs per character that have a good mix of sexy and explicit artwork to go with the story.
Congrats on Mori's full release! I was already enticed after playing the demo, but now I'm extremely glad for this game.Not just because of the monster *ahem ahem* parts
The update on the GUI and the added special effects on the background were an absolute treat. That and the monster ending I got ~\(≧▽≦)/~
I wonder if you have any plans on having a gallery to look at the CGs?
Looking forward to the rest of the characters! Can't wait to f*ck meet them all.
Thank you so much for playing! 💜 Yes, at some point there will be a CG gallery where you'll be able to collect and keep track them. Additionally, I'd like to set up a gallery for intro chapter cgs on the Tri City website once I'm finished with them and developing the 'main game'.
I have many ideas for additional features as dev continues that I'm very hyped for 😂
I can't believe that I'm just finding about this now! Mori is awesome - and extremely hot, figuratively and literally it seems. I really enjoyed playing his route, thank you! Can't wait for more info on Amir soon (just became a patron). He's 100% my type!
Thank you so much! Amir is super close to being finished and patrons will be the first to check out what his chapter is like! I'm super excited to have you aboard, the support helps the game in so many ways. ;u;

im so stuck between buying the mori dakimura or not.. like...its a need not a want.
Lesson learned: next time i do a kickstarter i need to budget for the fact i'm going to desperately want my own merch orz
I feel your pain. I must put the nasty cat man in my bed.

Daamn all three of them are super hot and also adorable. I'm sorta dying for more, and the game itself is really really pretty. ♡♡♡
Thank you so much! I'm excited to bring more content to yall as soon as I can!
Akello is such a sweetheart <3

actually so sick
Thank you so much for playing!
i love it, are you planning on doing a guide?
Actually no one has asked that before! I'll add it to my To Do list. :)
I can't wait till next update <3
Thanks for playing!! Updates are on the way soonish <3
The game is looking pretty interesting so far!
Will there be any way to be a top only? As one (I know.. am not fun..), I'd love if that was an option! (and maybe for bottoms, a way to be bottom only, so it'd be fairer)

Am I the only one whose game is pixelated? I mean, it's all blurry and I can't see the background nor the character clearly.

do choices matter?
Yes, choices will add up to you getting either the "human" or "monster" ending. Additionally there is a choice gate to not pursue sex.
will there be actual cgs? or be able to see genitals (in & out of monster form)
Yes, right now I'm planning on about 6-8 cgs per character route in the main game. Most of them will be explicit/fully 18+ with a mix of both monster and human forms, though there will also be some non-explicit cgs of important story moments too.
Mori will be getting 18+ cgs in the future, and Amir's intro (now in early access / will be public in a few months) does have an explicit cg. :)
ah also i wanted to ask if the mc will get their own images as well?
Right now I'm not planning to give the MC their own sprite. That might be a feature I add in later down the road in the form of a character creator but that'll will depend on time/resources/demand :D
