I decided not to play BECAUSE OF YOU. 

Capiche?

I asked some SIMPLE questions about the game, because of the ambiguity in the listing.....  the answers to which YOU, as the DEV, absolute KNOW. 

Instead of just telling me the answers to my queries, you got coy, basically saying 'Nah, play and find out, if you want to know'.... which bullshit of the highest degree. 

The moment someone tells you 'Just take a sip and see'... you know they are dodgy as fuck. 

You are being a dick. THAT SIMPLE, and you KNOW it. 

I do not know WHY, but do not try to make out as if you have done nothing. I asked for clarity about your game, and you could not even give me a straight answer. STILL wont. 

Yeah, total dick move. 

AWESOME

More about the action, and the dynamics that come from it... when boundaries are crossed... and journey beyond those boundaries? 

That is good. 

Yeah, I guess impatience is way to describe it.. though tbh... it is more just relative experience. I have played a LOT of AVN. For me, the key defining feature, for the AVN, is the A bit. Adult. In the context, Adult in this case means Adult as in Adult Film, or Adult Bookstore... not say, Adult themes (there's tons of game which deal with everything from Murder, Rape, and Torture, through to War, genocide, War Crimes all the way through to acute mental illness, depression, and suicide... and even deal with a myriad of sexual kinks and fetishes along the way.. which are not classed as 'Adult' legally in terms of what that tag actually means.. because there is nothing explicit in them, they deal with those things maturely, but with restraint). 

So having jumped in a far too many AVNs where the Adult bit... the MOST defining feature of the AVN, which separates it from any other genre of game using the VN format... which are  either underdone with the adult content, or backload most of it... under the argument from the Devs that it is a 'Story Rich' AVN and 'Not that kind of game'.... which I reject out of hand for the above reasons; the A bit it is the MOST important feature of the AVN....  I just like to do some due diligence, you know what I mean? 

A premise like this, for me, feels like it would be MUCH more interesting, if it is explored as the hook being the MC crosses those lines, the women in his world do too, at least the ones which society says SHOULD NOT, and then tension is about the fall out....sorta maybe like... idk... say... one is ridden with guilt and engaging her in that way perhaps comes across almost as an exercise in masochism for her, whilst it is still unclear if she actually likes that, one is possessive and insatiable to the point the forbidden which must be kept secret is at risk of being revealed through her jealousy, or another is basically only doing the whole thing because it her way of paying for the attention she gets... almost like some kind of Munchausen By Proxy because of the MC's disability.... something like that. Whilst also all the while the MC might be trying to form more normal, natural, relationships, not only sexual, with the spectre of forbidden constantly making him uncertain of WHAT is a normal relationship, or if he can even form them now.... and even more, juggling the secret of his returning vision even as that becomes the supposed catalyst for ever darker, more depraved dynamics. 

BUT... I have definitely played games with similar themes, or suggested dynamics... where basically the Adult content was not only minimal, and poorly done, but back end loaded, in weak porn dump, after copious amounts of teasing and last second cock blocking... because the Dev thought they were Shakespeare, and wanted everyone to play their amazing story... which was mediocre most of the time... and basically only made good on the promises of the dynamics he or she exploited as narrative hook for their edge lord drama, as doggy treat tokenism for getting through their story, at best, or because they just knew sex sells and tossing in some porn would slip their game in to the Adult niche, removing it from competing with MUCH better VN format games made by actual professional studios, which might drown it out and overshadow it otherwise. 

The worst thing about the latter games most of the time, in my experience, is they do NOT be HONEST about being that kind of BS up front in their listing and marketing... and usually take way more than say, two hours, in the case of Steam... so by the time you realise you have been had... at least in AVN terms.. because the garbage you are playing is a TERRIBLE AVN... even if a good VN for small amateur team or solo dev... it is too late to get my money back. 

Sadly, this means as rude as it seems or I may come across.. I just outright ask now. No offence meant. 

Interesting premise, this one looks promising. I could be down to git it a whirl, but I wanna know straight up...is this all just a tease fest, one of those games about taboo, forbidden desires which backloads the action in the last few chapters of the game, but is mostly all abortive stuff until then? 

That's cool, if it is...just not for me... but if things actually meant to heat up relatively quickly, if lines blur and boundaries break early enough for it become that which is explored... then I could be down. I know it is only like a 20 minute demo, but I will follow and come back to buy it if it is meant to be a game off the latter variety. 

Man that really sucks. Sorry to hear. 

I kinda have a little trauma from the trash on Steam, and dealing with disingenuous devs, so I guess I will just hold my breath hope that one day, enough of your future games are doing well enough for you that this one becomes free like the first one. 

But thanks for your time. 

I think I wont, because of you. 

Word of advice, when someone who is thinking about something you are offering, even if free, asks for some details, just give them the details. You know the answers. This is why they are asking you. 

Being a  complete a-hole about it, is going to bring you unstuck at some point in you life. But because you ARE an a-hole, you wont listen to the advice, and now I have to go through my life knowing I will not get be there when you fubar-ed so hard you cry. I can live with it though. 

Being a dick is not a good look though. 

Not concerned the focus will not be on sex.... but a game about fetishes invariably needs have sex, most of the fetishes I experienced in the game, were absolutely sexual in nature, and I felt it very weird there was almost none, save I think I one very short, softcore scene. So changing that a bit, as you put it, is great to hear. I might come check it out one last time once it is done. 

I mean, that was the whole point of this post. 

To avoid walking in to something I did not like. If I ask a car salesmen about the spec sheet, he does not say 'find out for yourself'...even when he will let me test drive it. If ask for details about that new bench saw I have my eye on, the Hardware store owner does not say 'just get it, use it, you will see for yourself'. 

Feels a bit disingenuous TBH, I might pass this one, if a dev cannot even give me straight answer to a relatively simple question about their game, without being vague and evasive... that implies something about them and the game. 

Well they undid that now. Adult games are available again for sale. It would be great if you put the full game up here again, I'd definitely give it a whirl. Steam is full of bad faith devs, and if I can use paypal here, I would prefer it, and would love to try the game. 

I am not really getting this from the description. 

What does the Church demanding obedience look like? What is the Sin? 

I am sure you think these are critical to the game..... mysteries which you must play to find out... but that synopsis could mean this is an incest focus game...  or a domination focused game... or Sub MC game.... 

...I only play AVNs where all the totalitarianism is coming from my MC, and all domination... and family dynamics... too. 

This sounds like could be something where there's a lot of dirty old robed men, and leather nuns....  but unless my MC ...eradicates those old men, and breaks those leather nuns in to submission in to his totalitarian vision... I do not want to play. 

I just cannot work out what the games about from what is written here. Some folks, multiple, recommended I check this out, but I need to know what it is actually about (one did not get back to me, and another two just said 'trust me bruh, play it'... or as good as when I asked the ppl who pointed me to this). 

So this game is still early development?

Whats the content for this one, so far? I do not really have a way to know what Chapter 5 means? How many chapters are planned? If there is like.. 30 planned... then I can assume this has little content for an AVN, especially the A bit... but if there is 10 planned... then this is half done, and will have a lot of content, right? 

Why is this not available here? 

Is this dead? Its been what, a year? 

Is there any actual SEX in this yet? Played a long time ago, and there was a lot of teasing, but no fucking. Has that been fixed? 

Damn, time to reply from the start then lol, I want Frankie badly. She, the old Sheriffs daughters, and Coach are, along with Mommy/Krissy/Missy Behr my most wanted for ye olde Harem.  I guess I have thing for lithe or athletic women, or even Muscle Mommas (sweet heart with muscle and bald head is on the list too... just not as high up as the aforementioned)..... and since I do not see any options for the Sheriffs gals, or Coach yet.... Frankie it is. 

The scene with Sam looked like it had someone else in it, whereas the scene which I DO have, just has her on Cam alone, with Sasha watching, so I thought they were different scenes. 

Yes, accessing the gallery IN GAME would be awesome, and definitely make it easier for any interactions like that, if they come up again going fowards....  though I think needing medical intervention for acute .....Cumtardedness.... and the Euphoria displayed thereafter upon her return would suggest that Abby would forget how unimpressed she was because she just reminded me :P I love obsessed Abby though... she is great.. she needs keep that energy and that.... need....and those spot quizzes.... up. :p

Yeah, I had to save the game at that very... HOT...  point... and check. Was... jarring...... and definitely broke immersion, you know?  I think if that scene happened AFTER Sasha introduces herself to the class... and then Abby busts in.... and in that time.. SHE was just like 'Oh, are we doing this now? Me next... I am Abby my favourite colour is MC Shelley.... my favourite game is MC Shelley... my favourite food is MC Shelley... oh, and my favourite movie is....X" and THEN the closet scene happens.... no one would need to check the gallery. It would be so close between her reminding the player,. and that scene, it likely would be available to redo as auto save. 

I mean, too late now, I know.... just maybe something which could be a tip for the next chapter...  give an IN GAME reminder of a past thing, right before it matters that you know it....and that will make it smoother, and not need break the immersion it might otherwise so break, if one needs go back to check from a menu or something, you know what I mean? 

Also, my gallery shows two scenes with Frankie and one with Sam missing... and I am not sure I ever saw any options which would trigger those scenes... are those scenes triggered by NOT doing a thing, which leads to something else with they, and thus scenes, rather actively choosing something related to either of them which then leads to those scenes? 

Having zero computing skills, knowing nothing about 3d rendering or animating, coding, or graphic design..... so I cannot even begin to imagine the workload. However perhaps if you knew exactly what is biggest weight you'd most want help with, and looked around this site, or your discord, maybe there's more skilled folk than I, who could at least give you some sage knowledge that made things faster and easier, little hacks if you will, if not outright help you. 

Passion projects are amazing.... until the weight of the project kills the passion, definitely try to not burn out. This is such a great game and such wonderful work so far, it would be better to take a decade to finish, than never finish it at all. 

Ok I loved the update, but honestly, there's just two things which I gotta mention. 

A) Abby's favourite movie? Seriously? I have to go back and play from the beginning if I want to ace the scene? Its been MONTHS, at least half a year.... I love this game and wax lyrical about it as WAY underrated sleeper that every fan of the AVN genre  should DEFINITELY play, but that is a bit harsh tbh. There was NO mutually strong attraction initially when I met Abby... so I really did not feel the need to pay much attention to what she told me, and I am not even sure I am attracted to her... or just her tests.. which are kinda awesome.  Being expected to recall that, MONTHS later, without any way of finding it out, to get the best outcome on what is one of the hotter scenes in the game so far, is a rare miss for this game, pretty bad tbh. 

B)... As adorable as Emma is, and she IS.... those hips man, I personally wish she looked like Abby waist down... much more proportional..... every time I look at her, all I see is a Russian Nesting Doll...   which, I mean, that might have been hilarious if she was Russian, but she's French :p I mean I know she is tiny and one might wish to avoid her being seen as a Loli dolly... but every time I see her, I expect to open her up and find another, smaller Emma inside... and another smaller one inside that. 

WOW, I can't wait... awesome to see it out.

A lot of exposition in this one... but still nice to get the celebration out the way, and meeting all the key people, get some backstory dealt with. 

Kinda hope to get some more steps in the Harem building done next time around though :P

Hehehe.... well obviously I have played Pale Carnations.... we are in that games comments.....  I have played all the rest of your suggestions too except House Of Shinobi, which reminded me of something... one more suggestion A House In The RIft... one of the all time greats of the genra, and definitely worth a play. 

I will check House of Shinobi, thanks. 

Edit: Ok, turns out I have seen House Of Shinobi.... it is 2D and HTML which is why I ignored it, I am a 3D Ren'Py huy all the way (though Unity is not the worst, even though many think it is.... also, there is one 2D exception I adore, Flowers, right here on itch, check it out too), but thanks for the suggestion. 

Great to hear some news. This was one game I was seriously hoping was NOT dead. 

It feels like this will need to be something rather epic in scale, to meet thy vision's scope... so I for one, playing on a decent gaming rig, do not care so much about the size elements. It might sound very inconsiderate of mobile device players, but for me, I think this game taking the time it needs, being as long as it needs, and being as beautiful as it can be whilst being so, is the best justice which can be done to a project to pregnant with potential, and off to such an amazing quality start. 

Burn out though, when facing something like this, is a real thing . I reckon the smaller more frequent update approach is definitely a decent way to handle things moving forwards. A  few years... I say a few.. how about five... ago I began writing a book. I say book, but this... is more of an... epic rant of massive scale, like.. a book that would be sold by starting letters in batches if it was an encyclopedia or dictionary... I went HARD. Almost 400,000 words, and 800 pages non stop. But then, the wall. BANG... burnt the F out hard. In the first two years I wrote 80% of what I have so far (and it is still only about a third done)...  the next two, I wrote only about 15%... and this last year-ish.. I have put out about 5% of the work. 

Looking back, now, as someone with some experience, if I was to mention anything to the me just starting, it would be less is more. If I had aimed to work maybe a few hours a week, since I actually technically cannot work on the project full time...and tried to perhaps do little pieces, chapters in smaller batches, at the time.... I'd not be JUST coming out basically over a year of writers block and fatigue. It is BY FAR the best way to go methinks. 

From a gamer's perspective, me the hard core, day 0, first gen gamer of over 45 years gaming experience, that is not ideal... because selfishly, since I think this game so amazing, I want huge amounts of content, I want it to be as epic in size scope and scale as it feels like it need be to match the vision you seem to have laid the ground work for... but that said, even then, I suspect the game will even be fully completed faster the smaller more consistent updates released too. 

Thanks for the update on this amazing game, I cannot wait for the next part to finally arrive, though for now I am just so glad this project is not dead. 

Been a while since I played this.... are all the sexually accessible women still only the thicc shorties? Or are the way hotter, taller, thinner, sexier women, like the Federal Agent, and the Reporter and the Bi Cafe owner now available? 

This felt like a Thicc Shorty Simulator when I played it... the hottest women in the game were inaccessible.... except the Bosses daughter... but she went and got...  delicate.... and the Photographer blonde... who gives you some honey then says never again. 

All the other actually attractive women were inaccessible, but it HAS been a long time since I played so was wondering if that has changed? 

To this? Narratively speaking there are not many workplace drama type games I can endorse.... but if you simply mean Adult games with immersive narratives, and generous adult content that is well made, with hot scenes that blocked, paced, lit, angled, phased and supported by a decent use of perspective and ambience then I can recommend a few. 

In terms of narrative, they are nothing like this one, but two of the best games in the genre, are right here on itch

Eternum, and Ripples. Both are incomplete, on going games... but both are 11 out 10. six out of five stars...  must play games, if you have not played them. 

There's also some sleepers here on itch too, again, none like this one, narratively speaking...but I would strongly  recommend games like Isekai Paradise, Thirsty For My Guest and Love By The Water too. Trying to think what other games I have given 5 stars to....   I think Project Atmosphere... only let down by the absence of a Gallery...  one of the most visually beautiful games on here, but it DOES have a sandbox element. There's something like Hard To Love on here too.. it is VERY early doors, with little Adult content at present.. but one of the most beautiful AVNs there is, certainly in terms of the Love Interests, and what adult content there is , is HOT AF.  Also there's by Justice or Mercy, which is a bit more standard AVN... but has some incredible dynamics and great story. 

Some games which are NOT on itch, or might be but I have not seen, but do not seem to be on Steam either... but you should be able to find with a quick search.... are Away From Home, Strong Desires, Photo Hunt (a bit of a grindy Sandbox with this one, but VERY worth it) just to name a few. 

Now if you are willing to get them from Steam, I would offer up LISC, Race Of Life, Desert Stalker, Lust Theory 1 and 2, Time Stamps 1 and 2, Milfs of Sunville.. but only SE1, SE2 is garbage......  and possibly the BEST free game on Steam.. Come Home. Also, for me, probably one of the best on Steam, again, is bit visually and aesthetically dated now, is Stranded In Space, that one is a must have. 

Check some of them out, and if you get through those ever want more suggestions, feel free to ask. 

Well the guy above me said it is now chapter 4.6 on Patreon... which normally means, with other games, we get updates here as to that being the case, and most of the time, a timeline for public release too. 

I will check out the link you provided, but unless the information is PUBLIC it wont be much use, but I thank you nevertheless. 

I cant wait, this game is so good. 

O kind of liked it a little.... but man, there was so much flashbacks and drama... and college drama... and more drama..... even if I had a chuckle now and then, there was just too much convoluted narrative... and very little agency. 

I spent the whole playthrough trying to f*ck muscle mommy and Julia, but just could not. On the other hand, Dellilah is cute and all, but she felt forced on to me. 

I also would have  loved a consequence free f*ck with Aria and Lola both.... sorry, but they're side b*tches hotter than most of the mains it seems (at least they feel like they are side characters not main LI's, sorry if that it wrong). 

It was kind of ok, good..ish... but then there was the sex too. 

So little of it was actually erotic, or arousing.

It was mainly 'Softcore' very little visible explicit stuff... except two BJs and a couple of shots from the rear, and the finales. But every shot of the scene should be. The scenes should play out like a Brazzers clip.. at least in angles, blocking, pacing, and perspective. I want to see the women I am conquering being conquered balls deep. Side mount conquering, revers cowgirl conquering, bent over barrel conquering.... the kind of conquering where you get a full view of the conquest.. having her intimate spaces conquered even harder. 

IDK about this one. 

If there's less drama, flashbacks, exposition, and more explicit sex moving forwards, it might be an all time great (so long as I get Muscle Mommy and Julia in the harem)..... but as it is now, I felt a little overwhelmed by aspects of the game I was not invested in and did not care about, and underwhelmed by the stuff .. and the who.. I wanted. 

Oh do not get me wrong, ME TOO, I absolutely LOVE harem pathways in AVNs, but I am happy with a smaller cast... well the best I have ever played have not had TOO small a cast.... I guess games like Stranded In Space, and Come Home, are example of the upper limit of Harem rosters. I find having multiple scenes with smaller number of women, to be MUCH more fulfilling than single serve sexual service animals that need be conquered and moved on from to the next hole. 

Not that I mind that, either in its place, though with those I still like to have small smattering three or four, recurring LIs in that case. But if you have a game which has say half a dozen central LI's as part of something with at least a Poly or full Harem, pathway, maybe supported by a few orbital ladies, but even then, limited, and still recurring scenes with, just not as many as the central roster... then yeah for me, THAT is a WAY better. Even games with recurring, ongoing, developing, sexual adventures with the women, if the roster it TOO big, something ALWAYS suffers. 

Some of the NLT games half the roster feels a little under developed character wise... even for a sex game where you do not have to do much, in other games, like perhaps Nephilim as an example, the characters are up to snuff, but sex scenes are mediocre at best. I suspect there is no game NOT beset by some kind of trade off like this for a massive cast, because most Devs do not want to make 50GB sex game (personally, I have boss gaming rig and would be happy for such a game :P ). 

I was just uncertain, so had to ask. There is one rather popular, or at least highly rated, game on Steam, which basically DOES have the premise of you, and hot fiance, in a house... and that is it. There's copious amounts of sex... but with just the one woman. Almost like... a epilogue to some Romance (A)VN (ewwww they sicken me :P ).... but that is not my thing, and it was not so clear, so I just had to ask. 

I will give this a follow, and make sure to keep tabs on it, and check it out when development is a little further along. 

I like smut, but is there JUST the fiance? If I am gonna be playing a chill dude with some money and stable job, that gives me lots of chill time and that is meant to be used for copious amounts of sex, and I cannot fuck the maid... I would be hoping to fuck the sexy blonde bimbo neighbour and the community services agent that comes by to check that I am doing a good job as a carer, and young hot Alt-Goth tattooed pastel haired relative of the old man who suddenly appears to stay for a week, and my.. hot cougar mo... ah.. step... mother who shows up unannounced for .. reasons.... and stuffs... etc etc etc etc . 

Kind of keen, but the Maid warning is putting me off. Is there more to this than romance sex with a bland fiance? 

You are such an phenomenally considerate Dev....  no wonder the game is so good, the care about the project, your player base, and feedback you show is exemplary and few game developers, even small indie solo fevs making part time free to play projects like this, can match your level on these thins. Thanks so much, will check it out now. 

Will the bones of that post be posted here eventually?  Just the key points at least, and the timeline? 

I tried to read it, but even if as a 'free' post, I still had to sign up, which for personal reasons, I will never do on that platform. 

I think it would be nice if we your itch players can get some of that information locally here. 

Awesome. This looked great and seemed to have a lot of potential, even though I felt a little deflated that Checkovs Gun in the form of the red haired bff did not fire....  I think the visual so good and the adult scenes done well enough, that I wanted to give it a chance (normally if I feel promises are made and not kept, to there is too much teasing BS.. I play these for the adult scenes.. I quit the game.... tha fact that did not with this is strong endorsement from this player).  Yet it seemed to be a dead game, I am glad it is not. 

I do not patreon, I got this game here and I want to keep getting it here, but now I have to join a discord group or patreon? The credit card thing is done, over, the CC companies got told that they could not discriminate on the basis of expression by the US govt. iirc, perhaps an exec order from the POTUS? I read something like that. Itch is hosting paid games again.  

Is it too much to expect you to remove the damn game from the platform.... preferably with an apology and explanation, if you do not plan on supporting it? How disrespectful to your fans. 

Meh, fuckfests are the BEST AVNs for sure, and they DO NOT need to be Brainless.... such a term is always slung about with them, but the BEST games in the Genre are Harem/Poly fuckfests....yet also incredibly well written and conceived, just saying

...but even with a Romance/Monogamy AVN with limited sex, you need something to fall back on. My real problem is not only is there a limited roster of LI's... which CAN be a good thing, if they are impeccable goddesses which really force you to feel torn and unsure who the MC should choose (though there needs be enough sex that you know that part is golden no matter whom thy choose).... but evidently, three out of four are 'Bad' choices. 

One is an IMPOSSIBLE choice... even when you try to not care (hey, I invited her on the Wine Tasting vacation, because she felt like it worth pretending things were not what they actually were, but she did not go for it)...so that was a dead end. One is a Dog that catches the car, and then does not know what to do with it, doesnt even pee on the tyre. One is basically untrustworthy and in cahoots with people who are way too dangerous to want anything to do with. That leaves ONE option. 

Even with 'rich' story, what it all actually boils down to, is thus far, five chapters deep, there's only seemingly ONE love interest which is NOT problematic, and there is NO real side women (well you get a random encounter at a bar, but I had apparently not been cool enough to go with them), no plan Bs. If you could have a fling with Korean Girl, or Black Junior DA or like.. Anna was it? Or even the big boss lady..... until you accepted you had to choose the best of a bad bunch or something... well that'd be OK. But there is no options there. 

That leaves this a Romance AVN which goes that pathway of extreme constraint and consequences, no poly or Harem moments even if then tightening to monogamy..... and they exist.... but, unlike the BEST which make that choice and play out that way (though yes, for me that is the worst way an AVN can go)... it also lacks the one thing which makes them passable, namely that one gorgeous, loyal, eager, willing, ride or die bitch, forever yours, fallback option. That BFF-FWB sidekick chick who even often facilitates the encounters with main LIs, who will do anything for the MC, even watch him fall in love with someone else...though she is in love with him more than anyone... because she loves him so much she wants him to have all he wants.

That is critical in a game like this, because the more complicated a slow burn the story, the more complicated, unique, individual and deep the LIs, the more chance that actually, none of them will be worth it, all of them could be problematic for any given player in their own way. Like for me in this. One puts her career equal to her love life, or more, in advance of it, or even of the MCs, one is unstable and full of BS..proven when she kicks out the MC in a given moment, one is not willing to sacrifice everything for love. proven by her NOT coming on that wine tasting vacation .... embrace the taboo bitch, or get lost I say.... and one seems to be a Kardashian homage...  ewwwwwwwww. So a nice fallback, plan B, simple, monodimensional, but hot, and DTF BFF to focus on... even if a cliche and boring and not much depth to her, with little direct importance to the story....is essential in such games... because that leaves the player a participation award at least. 

Nothing worse than playing this kind of AVN only to discover the entire batch of LI's are horrible choices with terrible personalities that the player themselves, finds unattractive, and so would not choose any of them. I mean, for me, choosing the one I chose, the one you can offer the wine tasting to... was basically me choosing the best of a bad bunch, and look at how that turns out even once you DO the pull the trigger. So if I am going to go down the story rich monogamy romance AVN path, and that one be one with very deep long blown out story, and very limited roster of LIs, and thus have very high potential for them to all be repulsive in some way... then having that one participation award chick, that can be a fallback choice, that gives players SOMETHING for the time spent on the game, is CRITICAL. 

If this game had that, one 'cant go wrong' option, always hovering about in the wings, just in case all the main LIs are fucking useless.. and for me, they turned out to be.. it would be pretty good. Sadly it does not, so it just wasted my time even when I tried to give it a chance. 

Agreed.... idiotic. 

Well maybe not, maybe that IS her character.... maybe she is the Grey Hound chasing the rabbit.... because it is there and she wants to conquer it, and be the one... then when she catches it... well... meh, done, over it. 

But considering the revelations re two of the other three LIs... well, I guess that is also something in the nature of this game... they all have to be so mellodramatically  ...something. 

Sad, because in that case... when three out of four are just undoable choices that leave the MC in worse place....and even Offspring revelation... at the end... does do that by being that.....then I guess this comes down to actually just being a 'Date an Armenian Cop' sim. Though I guess she might also turn out not be ride or die either. 

That is ESSENTIAL for ANY Romance AVN.. there must ALWAYS be that one, unshakeable, loyal to the end, always in your corner, true ride of die bitch as an option... just in case the other ones, the dev thought to make much more complex, turn out too be TOO complex...or just push away the player when more and more of that is revealed. 

You need a fallback bae... and this one does not seem to have that one. 

Ok....so there is a lot of mellodramatic stuff here, not sure about how lauded everything about it is getting... but I think for something which is clearly inspired by a bunch of other things... it is not done poorly. 

The cases, murder, incest... the mystery of the serial killer.... the secret government programme... the drama of very mature themes like incestuous r*pe and such...  it could all be REALLY badly done. 

This does not do that, does not mishandle them so badly in strays in to the offensive. But it is not anything  groundbreaking either. I found myself skipping the back end of a lot of conversations... and occasionally I needed scroll back.... but MOSTLY I did not because it went exactly as I suspected. 

The twists were interesting... though the last one seems to be ... idk... tbh, I just do not vibe that has any significant meaning... OK.. so someone is someone else's offspring? Cool beans. That guy is the guy who knew the other guys, including thee guy who might be a bad guy, and those guys did bad things for what they though was good reasons for Uncle Sam... then went away.... but the offspring's father brought the programme back, and the offspring is his child... and ... Ok.. yeah.... so um... OK? 

But even with all this drama... all this edgy epicness.... there seems to be a lot less sex than an AVN this long should have. 

That is the MOST important part of an AVN, and in this instance, A... or ADULT... means ADULT CONTENT (not mature content or adult themes, I can list a dozen VN format games which deal with the same subject matter as this one, throw in Genocide and War Crimes and suicide and mental illness of all kinds too for that matter... which are NOT classed a Adult  Media, because they have NO explicit sexual content... and the Adult bit in Adult Visual Novel means the same as in Adult Film, or Adult Bookstore.. not adult themes).

What there was was pretty well done. But there was NOT much this deep in to the game.

I get it is a Romance AVN...but if you want a man to buy a cow, you need to let him taste the milk... preferably MORE than ONCE. 

Also... like.... if I am NOT in to Armenian chicks because I Kardashians wrecked them in my eyes.... what is a man meant to do for an LI in this one? The comment blow me nails it with this Jaime slapper.... that is dead end central.... and then there is the Offspring.... who turns out to be that..... and then there is the Blonde Pocket Rocket who SHOULD be calling you Daddy... but instead... well... let me not ruin anything. 

Yet this feels like all I have then, is the Cop, who is not my type....I mean, most of them ARE NOT, like...Jaime would have been had she actually been ride or die instead of just chasing what cannot have until she catches it..then like a grey hound who catches the rabbit, is over it.  But blondie was too.... pure... and ...something... I just go the vibe she'd be ... to self orientated and not the sort to be second fiddle a career man and rising star in the world of law... but that moot anyway.... Offspring seemed to be like she was, actually at heart, and demure and loving, tender, caring girl... who just had to harden up and be a boss girl.. who COULD have complimented the MC.... until she kicked him out her apartment.  From then, she was nothing to me. But all three of them, were all more attractive than Cop lady. 

I might have missed something but at no point did I see a path get with the Senators assistant... even though she was only in it later on... maybe she'd have been cool. Or Korean Woman... whatever her name is...I mean, I know she is married with kid.... but she might have been some fun, I would have been prepared to destroy that in a haze of lust. Even the DA, big boss lady, who forbids the MC contact with certain people... or the little dark skinned ringlet haired jjunior prosecutor he does the Murder case with.... she looked like fun. 

But NOPE....none of them were on the menu...leaving only ONE of the four main LIs who is NOT, had not proven to be, WHOLLY incompatible with the MC.... and she is the least attractive of them all. 

I mean, I seemed to have not had enough rizz to take home the girls at the bar... which sucks... there should be some clues for getting rizzy enough to ace that... I might have liked that, they were both cute... and it would be one more sex scene, which this game needs more of badly....but I was not allowed that one. 

Nah... basically this feels like the Dev is foisting ONE choice on you. The only one that seemed .... normal.. and not going to complicate your life, and did not treat you like trash. I do not like that in a game. 

2 Stars for the story. 

Maybe like.. a solid 6 out of 10, for now at least, might try it again when done. 

These new images are from the upcoming update? A new chapter? 

I do not recall getting any threesome other than with Kayleigh? Kylah? Shorties other BFF orwhatever... and her fast food obsessed blonde friend. 

Did I miss something? 

Adult Content then? I mean, I was only asking. 

Feels like this is dead. 

Shame, was an awesome start, though could have used an in game guide to access the few H scenes there seems to be. 

But it was a strong start, and then, nothing. Such a damn shame, was so good.
