Completed and reviewed :) https://backloggd.com/u/HaveAGoodJune/review/4235508/

All good, I figured that might be the case. I feel like I need to put out some sort of PSA for indie devs to avoid this sort of thing, cause this isn't the first time I've run into it lol.

I wound up just starting from scratch, and the silver lining was that I was able to take better notes this time of what to come back to, so that was nice. Just rolled credits! I missed a couple of the tablets, never really pieced together what they were for, so I wanna go back in and do that. I get the impression there might be a True Ending if I do? Anyway, I'll definitely have plenty more to say once I'm fully done with the game, but I wanted to let you know that I stuck with it and I'm glad I did!

A review :), also posted my HowLongToBeat account:

5/5

Played this on a discord stream with a few friends watching! Never done that before, it was a great time.

God what a beautiful game. Its body- and sex-positive attitude means so much to me. Checking the bed and seeing the Masturbate option pop up just made my heart go <3<3<3<3. That's just something you can do! No need to be sneaky about it, it's just as normal as taking a nap. And you can be naked in public and nobody really minds! Sure, people blush and giggle here and there, but they still treat you like a person, there's no disgust or anger or shock. I felt so utterly welcome in this game's world, I can't wait to see more of it. I do hope the creator adds more kinds of masturbation, maybe there could be a few varieties of sex toy as shop items?

Gameplay feels consistently great. It took a little bit to get comfortable with the controls and physics, as it usually does, but they felt wonderful to slowly master. The grounded dash -> dash jump -> air dash -> dash jump maneuver felt particularly thrilling to pull off for the first time, and then it felt like the whole world opened up to me! Moments like that are why I love 3D platformers.

Axyn is a joy to look at too... His idle pose with one hip popped out, the "about to wall jump" pose, just seeing his dick flop around as he runs :3 And don't even get me started on the sex scenes. Adorable facial animations especially. I also really enjoyed the voice acting! And that's rare for me to say about any game, let alone an NSFW Indie Platformer. I loved Axyn's voice, he's so charming.

Another hope for a future improvement: More body diversity! All the NPCs in Sunsubira are shaped almost exactly the same! I'd be mostly fine with that in a non-nudist game, but given this game's vibrant appreciation of the human (er, anthro I guess) form, it seems like a waste to limit that to only like 2 body shapes. I get that this is a solo project though, and designing and modelling a diverse array of characters is a lot of work. So if that doesn't happen in the final game, I'm not gonna hold a grudge about it, but it would still be a bit disappointing.

Anyway, a wonderful demo that has me (and my friends :D) eagerly awaiting the final product.

{Edited to fix some typos and poor wording}

Got this game back in 2020 in a bundle, played a little but never finished it. Came back to it the other day and I've been really enjoying it, but I think I just deleted my save by accidentally clicking New Game on the pause menu! I remember thinking that it was awfully risky to have that button there... Is there any way for me to restore my progress?
