This game is fascinating and fun. While I initially played it a while back after having found it, I've since played it iirc three times, one of these times being with some friends whom I played the series up to chapter four with. It's horny but also just fun, interestingly enough. The game does tip toe into both horror and horny while keeping it interesting all the way through. I started playing because it has le lesbians but stayed because it was so wacky and fun.
Big recommend from me as long as you're okay with the odd fetishes discovered and weird horror segments, and even if you are unsure; it's free so try it out as long as you're comfortable with it. Either way, it's fun and I can't wait for the next chapter!
Cheers Bondco dev!

I saw the work you posted on the cosmos and such to Twitter and YT, it's looking really good! As a dev myself I understand wanting to put out a good product (as seen by me never uploading anything ever :P) so I get why you've not posted an update in a while; you've been very good about giving updates all things considered. I didn't play around with the male options personally but the option to have masculine characters is really nice, especially in such a dynamic fashion (looking at you Ai Shoujo AI which has two different models for male/female characters). I always strive to have super modular systems in my games as well so that adding things is super easy and fun so I like seeing all the stuff you've been up to with the animation system and such.

Other than cruddy M&F games on Newgrounds, SDT was probably the first hgame I played as well; though I watched stuff people posted before I played it. That was before I found out I was gay but sadly there's no clit-licking version of SDT ;v;. The mechanics I've seen so far are reminiscent of SDT where you move your mouse and such instead of clicking buttons, it's a really nice feeling and that's probably what garnered so much adoption from fans, especially since there was a sort of resistance and such which made it feel a lot more real. 

AI is a passion of mine and I understand that simple but real feeling desire. One of my favourites in that respect (and one that I probably bring it up too much) is Ai Shoujo AI which has a desire system where all desires go up based on their corresponding stat and when a desire reaches max the AI goes to do an action related to that desire (go talk to someone for social, sleep for sleep, eat for hunger, so on so forth), that system could easily include an activity desire where they go do what they're told when all other desires are taken care of or vis-versa and have the desires come second. I don't know exactly how the AC AI works, I only played one of the games but as far as I can tell each character has different activities they do during different times of day and there's a little gap where they move from one activity to another then just have it figure out where they should be based on the current system time. That's more a theory though since I'm more used to simulative AI ;-v-, stardew valley does something adjacent to that.

I totally agree in that UI should be more visceral than digestive (ala dead-space health bar or red vignette instead of a metre), it's always hard to do that though, you did a great job making it seem less software-y, the sex menu with the deform shader or whatever that was and the aura looking overlay to that looked really good and felt a lot better than just a metre or such. I understand the switch though and if you just crank up the intensity of the orgasm and in general visual and audio reactions, I imagine it will work really well.

It's nice to hear that the system is so modular; I've seen plenty of systems that are built for one sound for one thing (given those were a bit more amateurish than something this built). I don't expect you to have spectacular VA atm, this is more of a pre-alpha build than what I'd expect from the final game, it's good that--given the budget--you could populate the game with VAs. Amusing but logical that it's just you and your GF XD, low-budget squad! It's not bad VA btw, I don't notice much difference in EroVA stuff in the first place but it's very much suitable and fitting for the state of the game.

Orgasms in humans are interesting I find :P so much in the act and the reaction of it that can be played with, both from the giver and the taker. I'm interested to see what sorts of things you'll be implementing as time goes on.

By the way: is the game going to have any built-in modding support? It would be really cool to be able to add hairs, VA packs, whatever and whatnot if possible; I'm sure it'll get fan support anyways with time if it gets popular enough ala-any big modular hgame, still would be interesting to know if that's a plan or too far in the future to think about atm.

No problem! On another account as well I put massive novel of comments in the sections below games I really like or projects I'm interested in; I fear I usually come off as a blabber-mouth with this 800+ word comment... It was nice to get a reply! If it means anything, you're work is a bit of an inspiration for me to get off my rear and buckle down on a single project, seeing all the cool stuff you're doing is really neat! Anyways, that's for the reply and keep up the good work! Cheers!

NOTE: I only played with a female character w/o futa because I'm gay and would rather not, so I haven't seen male responses to things and am only commenting on that female side.

Quite interesting; I've seen a few sandboxy porn games likely thanks to the success of games like Ai Shoujo AI and SDT, but also because it's a fantasy thing :P. I think this project has so much potential! Currently, it's super barebones, you can practically do nothing, and the character rig sometimes bugs, but even so it's really promising. Being someone who does a lot of sim stuff, I know how hard doing animation stuff like this is (unless I'm mistaken; I don't work with 3D much sadly). The characters have systems that are there but not implemented (again unless I'm mistaken), examples being the needs: hunger, thirst, social, and so on. It feels a lot like it's trying to be a survival colony style game but one where you do sexy stuff, akin to Ai Shoujo AI, but currently there's no AI, which may be intentional, I can't tell; if this is trying to be a full sandbox-like people playground than that's perfectly fine, it's just too early for me to tell :P. I've seen some of the stuff on Twitter and it's looking pretty good. I hope this one isn't abandoned like I've seen so many before.

As for the actual game: the UI is nice but sometimes gets right in the way, specifically, the sex menu zips around the screen, it would be nice to be able to pin it akin to how you can pin the dialogue. The sounds are fine at the moment; it's barebones like I said but I imagine this will get so much better with more variants and selectable sets (the variants are more important; and by that I mean having more sounds for the same things, if I'm correct on how the orgasms work, the sound is always the same--a slightly more intense moan--but it's hard to tell). Which brings me to the next thing; the feedback isn't great: the quivering is great, the moaning is nice (could do with some more types, maybe muffled as if the character is trying to restrain themself which I've found is common), the orgasms are my main gripe: they seem to last a single tiny moment and then the character is back to horny. There are no extended orgasms, there's no refractory period, and there's no visceral reaction to orgasms. At the bare minimum make the sex menu pulse blue or something when an orgasm is achieved, at the better end it could do with the character falling over or slumping if standing and it's a multi-orgasm, the character biting their lip, lots of people exclaim when orgasming, I don't think that'd work in this game but at least a more intense vocal moan or grunt would to wonders, additionally heavy and rapid breaths are pretty common. I'm not sure what assets the dev is working with but if they have a VA and the money, getting additional takes that're more intense will really help sell it.

Lastly, the mention of the octo-head guy was interesting; never showed up, I imagine because that system isn't implemented as of this version but it feels they will serve as a shop character or travel of some sort (I'm referring to the second island a little off from the main one). The lore bit is strange but that's something that'll have to be expanded or implemented at all before I can comment on it.

Okay; it may have sounded like I was bashing the game but really: it's a great base for something that could turn out great. 

TL;DR: this is an unfinished but ultimately very promising demo of what could be with some more dev time and resources. I can't say I recommend this as a game yet but as a demo, it really works and I'll be on the lookout for updates. Also; apologies for the novel of a comment; I do this a lot ( ; -v-)y it's because I like stuff a lot, please don't think I'm trying to be mean or anything.

Good luck octolex! I hope this project works out and can get more updates in time: I promise you it's bound to turn out at least good with the baseline you've set! Cheers!

Holy fuck, this is crazy good. I'm more for cute hard stories ala Scrub Diving but this fucking nails what it's reaching for. The art style is grade A, a few oddities in the ankles but otherwise spectacular (and even then it's barely noticeable as you get used to the style), it's a great mix of realism and caricature, all the characters are sexy and good looking. One note that really sells them feeling more real is that they actually change clothing, seemingly such a small thing but it adds so much even so since so few games (at least that I play) have characters change clothes. The audio was... jarring? It was strange to have menu music but nothing in the way of audio period during the actual vn; that's no minus, just odd. The characters are so well written, I relate so hard to Clem, being an SM degen lesbian (not so much on the penetration thing but still), and Shizue feels like such a real character with her conflictions and feelings through and through. The two of them are adorable together and while I want to see more safe SM with these two, the ending is really well placed; it could do with a tad more graduality or epilogue sorta thing but still magnificent. I have to admit that I had a horrified look on my face when that one crucial near-end scene happened but it's such a good moment and I love its conclusion (even if it was scary in the moment). Only gripe (a minor one but still) is the random het scene with Vanessa; it's not bad I don't think, honestly I rapidly clicked through it because... I just don't like that stuff, it adds to her character but she's hardly utilized later on, just forgotten. 

All in all absolutely amazing and one I really like; if more lesbian SM stuff is made by this author, I'll definitely read it! And even if the author goes on to het or elsewise, this quality is great and will shine no matter the subject matter. Serious recommendation from me! I'm putting this one on my favourites list for sure. Thank you Gaerax for making this amazing experience! Here's to your work in the future! Cheers!
