Hi ^o^/)
We only post updates on itchio when we have a new file to upload. Updates about the progress are only shared on social media and on Blastic's Patreon.
Hey!
In general, apart from Chapter 1 (the demo), we never planned to release a SFW version of the other chapters, since that would be especially impossible for DG’s route.
Depending on whether itchio finds other solutions or payment processors, we’d consider publishing the game on Patreon, and possibly on other platforms as well, since some fans don’t have access to Patreon.
Because of DG’s route, we’re not even sure it would be worthwhile to upload a “censored” version here. The next chapter would ultimately just be a preview and would have to cut off right before the first +18 content in the middle :/
Hi, I think you misunderstood: The demo is SFW by default; there's no NSFW version of it. We only mentioned this because of the sudden censorship on itchio, which resulted in our game being shadowbanned. It was important to let them know that the demo does not violate any policies of our payment processor.

Thanks so much for your honest review! No worries at all, I really appreciate constructive criticism, and I actually agree with the points you made! :)
In my defense, I haven’t written anything in over 15 years, so I kind of expected my writing to be a bit rusty and to have some flaws. That’s why I was honestly surprised that most people seemed totally happy with Day 1, haha.
I’d love to update the chapter, but the problem is that there are already several translations done by native speakers. Any changes I make would mean all those translations would also need to be updated, which I hadn’t really considered at the time. (And honestly, translations weren’t even on our radar for a first-time project, it overwhelmed me a little bit 😅)
Since the translations are done by volunteers, not all of them will stick around or stay in contact with me. For the next chapters, I’ll probably hold off on allowing translations until I’m really satisfied with the English script. So unfortunately, I can’t promise that Day 1 will get another update. With even more languages being added, it would be way too much for me to handle all the retranslation work on my own 😔
All I can promise is that I’ll do my best to make the next chapters tighter and improve the overall flow. Thanks so much for playing and for enjoying it anyway <3

Hi, we're still working on the game. But we only show sneak peeks on social media or Blastic's patreon, not here :)
We're not full-time developers, we only work on this project when we have some spare time, and the artist is currently grieving the loss of a family member. Thx for your understanding <3
Hi, thank you for your honest comment! :)
However, I’d like to clear up a small misunderstanding: There will be a poly route with DG and Damon in the game, but it’s completely optional. Damon actually prefers having MC to himself, so whether or not a poly relationship happens is entirely up to you. As for DG, he’s aromantic and prefers an open relationship where no one tells him who he can or can’t sleep with. Like you rightly said, at the end of the day, he’s still a serial killer, not exactly romance material.
As for MC, it’s kind of a hit or miss depending on the player. MC was never meant to be a self-insert character, but rather someone with their own backstory. The player does have some influence over how they grow, though. Thanks for checking out our game, maybe we’ll see you again sometime! ^^/)
I suspect this has to do with your security settings? I don't have a mac but here's what you can try:
If you get the “can’t verify developer” message when trying to open the game:
Try Right-Clicking to Open:
- Instead of double-clicking the app, right-click (or Control-click) on the app and choose Open.
- A dialog will appear — this time with an "Open" button. Click that, and it should run.
Use System Settings (if needed):
- If the game still won’t open, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security.
- Scroll down to the Security section.
- You should see a message about the app being blocked — click “Allow Anyway”, then try opening the app again.
Gatekeeper Bypass (Terminal method):
- If you’re comfortable using Terminal, you can run this command:
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /path/to/game.app
- Replace /path/to/game.app with the actual path to the game file (you can drag the app into Terminal to auto-fill the path).sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /path/to/game.app
I know it's a bit of a hassle . Apple makes it tricky for indie devs without a Mac or dev license. Hopefully one of these steps works! Let me know if you're still stuck, and I’ll do what I can to help :)
thank you so much! we're glad you enjoyed it <3
you need to choose the right font in the settings for the russian translation to work. not every font supports your language :)
Большое спасибо! Мы рады, что вам понравилось <3
Вам нужно выбрать правильный шрифт в настройках, чтобы русский перевод работал. Не каждый шрифт поддерживает ваш язык :)
Hi, thank you and don't worry! We're still working on it. We just don't have as much time because of real-life responsibilities and my job (I work 12-13 hours a day), so we can't be full-time developers. We just ask our fans to be patient. But make sure to follow our social media— I recently posted a new sneak peek of Day 2 on Tumblr and Twitter! :)
Nope, that’s not planned. The entire game is designed to be in first-person POV, and since there will be choices affecting your appearance, adding full customization would be a lot of extra work for us (many fans have a very specific idea of what their MC should look like). For most developers, text-only customization is easier and cheaper to implement, which is why not many games offer this feature. However, we’d love to include character customization in future projects ^o^
Hi! Yes, we're still using it. The next chapter is still in progress, and I occasionally share sneak peeks of the script on social media. I only post devlogs/updates on Itchio when I have a new file to upload. You can also see on Blastic's Patreon that the sprites are currently being revised again :)
Thank you so much for your comment, it helps a lot <3
Yep, this is by design. MC is aware of the different power dynamic between them and Rasmus. He's the son of the manager after all - one word from him and MC could get fired. So they try their best not to overdo it with the "bitchy" attitude. But! With each new chapter, MC can gradually become more feisty or even ruthless if you want to. This could be part of your roleplay later if you want to develop your MC into growing more backbone :)
I also prefer giving MC a bit of a personality (and background), it's more fun to write it that way ^^
Thanks again and have a nice week!
Hi, fellow writer :)
Please don't worry, your critique is highly appreciated ^^b
Thank you for playing our game even though you don't like the art style lol.
I understand your dislike for other characters' POVs. Personally, I think it depends on the writer's intent and their reason for showing things from a different POV (and I can assure you that we won't go overboard with it xD)
So let me explain ours: He was never meant to be a big mystery. This game was primarily created for an existing fanbase that already knew a lot about Damon. Pretending he was just an innocent customer wouldn’t have added much to the experience imo. And one of the main questions will rather be whether you should trust him~
I hope this explanation suffices ^^
We're still working on the next chapter, and if we ever release it on Steam, it will only be once the full version is complete :)
Thank you again and have a wonderful week!
Hey, thanks for sharing your perspective! We completely understand the frustration of waiting, and we appreciate that you care enough to share your feelings.
Just to clarify, we've always been transparent that this is a passion project we work on in our spare time, not something developed full-time. While progress is slow, we’re committed to delivering the best experience we can manage at our own pace. Thank you for your patience and understanding, it means a lot to us :)
