the concept itself is fine, but wayyyy too spoopy I know there's basically no enemies or a real way to die or game over, it's just way too unsettiling with the eerie noises and desolated visual
sidenote, the leg bind animation looks more like a cartoony sneak animation, and she seems to be able to run just fine but how much the legs can still move, might wanna change that in the future
if I may make a silly suggestion, the time of day could play a bigger role in the game, working late nights could get some extra OT payments, and certain clients on certain venues would only be available at certain times, etc, etc,
also you could make a little more clear about the 3 optional characters, the affair was clearly labeled "I'm married now so I can't" but when the confused pizza boy appeared and I send him away, I had no idea I needed to pay for someone else's pizza in order to unlock his relationship, so I just sent him away by saying "sorry, we didn't ordered anything" so probably missed a lot of content
(side note why is the affair marked as such when the both characters are openly resorting to prostitution to pay the debt? I get the idea, but it's a bit counter-intuitive when the homewrecker sister is not labelled as an affair as well)
this is quite infuriating, there's no instructions on how to play, nowhere saying you can do wall-jumps, and I had to hit my head against a wall over and over, both figuratively and literally, in order to figure out how it works, and the way to the rooftop is either extremely hard and unintuitive, or is really obtuse and not at all indicated, I ended up with blister on my fingers, and I've yet to get the taco or find the sex scene
this is a shame because the game could be great otherwise and I really want to finish it at least once
a bit of a bug, but not really
the game only works on 16:9 resolutions, it does not play well with other monitors like ultrawide and classic ratio
it's not unplayable and it doesn't stretch in weird ways, but certain things get cut above / below in ultrawide and the sides gets cropped in classic displays
I'm not sure if is a bug or or just unfinished, but at the starting cutscene when offering your body to Vito to reduce the debt, at the expense of the partner being mad at you for doing in front of them, the relationship is not at all affected for the rest of the game, it doesn't increase or decreased no matter what actions are performed, and the interactions between the two blue dogs are not changed either, they always act like they are in good terms and always smiling and DTF regardless of the relationship with the player's character (which I'll repeat, does not increase or decrease no matter what actions the player takes)

I'm unsure still, I am playing in a non-standard monitor
if framerate is related (very likely it is) that could be the issue, as if I start holding space any time before or after the prompt appears, it instantly fails
so many games have this issue with non 30FPS and 60FPS that causes QTEs to be unwinnable
I just find a little confusing on to how to proegress
I know this is quite early in the devlopment cycle, but I'm unsure if I'm doing things right or I'm just mashing the keys in a random timing until I can progress
the werewolf in the tutorial? I have no clue what to do
also, the white text in the green background is really hart to read, please add some dialogue boxes or at least some kind of drop shadow
that's in-fact, exactly what I was trying to say, I would prefer to buy all chapters all at once, but truth be told, I personally would be a lot more inclined to buy GT on a whim if chapter 3 already exist even as "half a game" as opposite to buying GT by itself, like you said, it may take 4 years to get to the next chapter or 10 years for the full series;
I would be slightly disappointed if I found a secret hinting towards a third game if I played right now, but would be rather giddy to see the same secret with the knowledge the chapter 3 can be bought
hell, if you look at my own comments you'll see I was pretty bored on my first playthrough and didn't even bothered to get to the second area, but between the second and third post I did down there I was alot more engaged with the story and gameplay, it just so happened I found about GT somewhere in that time frame,
don't get me wrong, I'm eager to play GT as soon as I just have some money for splurging, but I wasn't even compelled to finished CS before stumbling across GT
there's no real perfect solution it seem, I'm not opposite to get each chapter for 10 dollars nor get every chapter bundled inside a 60 dollar pack
I just feel a lot less likely to get half a chapter for 10 and wait that to be updated
if my words even make any sense at this point, I just prefer a fully finished game / chapter before sinking the money
as it stands, I'd be ok to pre-order chapter 3 as soon as GT is concidered finished
had the other, like carpetwurm was doing, he sloppy up an ending in the first game before staring a second, and was barely halfway toward that game and already planning a 3rd game, (not to mention a number of unfinished comics on his FA)
so I would much prefer this aproach
I'm not what epic game policy on adult games, they allow games with adult content and adult themes in their store, but not sure about adult games with sexual content as the exclusive focus
however, they offer a monetary insentivation to make games exclusive to their store, unlike steam that you need to pay to upload there, epic pays you to upload on their store and no in steam, and I heard through the grape vines that they waver any fees for UE4+ for the first year of sales if keep as an exclusive
I'm rather glad to see this game going in the direction it is, either my personal preferences are good or we share them
asides from a few minor things that got misunderstood, the clothes customization for one, there could be some armor-type that makes grapple harder and slow down the movement speed, or a really durable armor that gives ample time to break free but makes loud noises when moving, is more like a win-some-lose-some so you need to choose what kind of benefit you want and what you want to sacrifice for that benefit, a light cloak that makes you nearly invisible is good, but if you get grapple, it can be ripped from you in seconds, that sort of thing
secondly, please don't use mouse wiggle, I remember the wii doing that in every game and don't think a single person liked it, plus there are touchpads on laptop that will make it nearly impossible to win that, and would you believe some people actually buy a USB touchpad to use on desktop? and also some people don't even use mouse because they have a touchscreen... not to mention the playstation touchpad
and about the stick and firecrackers,, not to be a stickler, but the game is called "running of the wolves" so it is a given that will be the main enemy, I guess is more like a few sound-based distractions, a firecracker makes a much louder sound that would distract the wolves, it could be anything like a water balloon or a piece of meat or even a used and worn underpants, mostly to enhance the stealth, causing enemies that didn't spot the player to either investigate or run away from the source of the sound or smell
and the stick, much like the armor I suggested, would be a risk vs reward item, can save the player from a imminent grapple, at the risk of the wolves coming back to grapple you if you don't throw the stick again, perhaps the stick can be a weak but unlimited resource like the rocks, but a rubber ball could be a single use item that's much more effective in distracting the wolves, but you will need to retrieve it before leaving the zone or need to buy another
and like I mentioned above, perhaps some food like meat, fish or cheese or even acorns, that could draw attention for some species and leave them vulnerable for a grapple while the player sneak by, it would be a lot more interesting if the player could help or take advantage of other contestants to escape the wolves, I don't think a karma system is viable, but it would be nice if a badger I saved in a prior stage throw themselves in the way of a wolf so the player can run away, or a fox I backstabbed to sneak by a wolf, could be blocking the way, or throw something in my direction to alert the wolves so they can sneak away while the wolves are distracted
and the transmogrification could be a simple accessory like the "QQ Bang" in Dragon Ball XV, where you combine a set of items or armor and equipments of similar stats and create an item that will overwrite the clothes's stats, I believe that's a simpler way to make a cosmetic system as oppose to a cosmetic and a functional set of the same equipment, I could be wrong
I have a few suggestions I would like to see in the next few phases, and of course they are skewed into my preferred view of the game, bias disclaimer warning
I would like to see some more equipment, perhaps some light clothes like a cloaks that camoflage the character that only let the wolves see them really upclose or a "heavy armor" type that makes really hard to rip them or grapple the character
I'm a little sucker for cloth physics, especially with a long overcoat / cloak in games where I can have different armour / clothes options for over clothes, having 4 clothes's slots is the standard, but I can think of 8 or even 12 places for clothes's customization
and any game with clothes customisation and no clothes transmogrification in the year of 2025 and behind should be consider a blasphemy to Gabe Newell and RNGesus
and maybe something like firecrackers, an upgrade to the stones that have a limited use but have a much louder aggro radius + can damage some of the wolves nearby (and the standard stones could damage the single wolf it manages to hit)
or perhaps a stick you can throw, it will make very little noise, but any wolve that sees it will chase after the stick instead of the character, with the penalty they will bring back to you and you have only a few seconds to throw another stick or they will grapple you instead
and also I would like some way to struggle and escape, not fight back necessarily, but sometimes seeing the same animation for 5 times in a single sitting is tedius when I want to progress the game (yeah, I'm one of those weirdos that likes the story in a porn game)
and on top of that, I wish there were other participants and more interactions among NPCs, some male/male wolves hidden behind some bushes using the event as a distraction for gay sex, that could be a fun easter egg by itself, but there could be some other participants in the event that could get grappled by the wolves that the player can run into during the race, help out or "throw them to the wolves" for their own safety and slip by in the distraction
I know some of those would probably already been considered for the final release, but still want to give my 2 cents
the amount of people asking for "when is the update" and not reading the devlogs is saddening
true, the game is barely playable on windows 11 in the last public release literally 5 years old since any updates
but this is itch.io, not steam, this site is to make easy for the devs to post small updates and find out how players use their game, such as hardware requirements and small updates that 99% of players will not see
much less a huge content update like in steam, a game in version 1.0 in steam equal to v7.25.017.554893-b in itch.io and a game might be updated years after the last release or seconds after the last update because the devs noticed a typo on a tutorial after uploading that version
so please treat this game and this site a school project you have the semester to make, and not like a business deal that needs to meet an impossible deadline to appeal to the buyers and appease the investor
find better games on steam or xbox, here is mostly for indie devs to post work in progress, most games that are completed are moved to steam, if you don't want to acompany the devs into finishing the game, itch io is not the place
and you seem to be corrupted by the corporate greed, I never imply that free and paid are linked, this poor state of society
what "paid version"? I said "latest" not "paid"
message Urielmanx7 in discord and ask to beta test or something
he's been posted some devlogs every few weeks, that's all I know, of you just see the front page and click off when there's no new release, itch dot io is not a good place to find games, this place is better to find indie game and work-in-progress and other projects
you may have seen me somewhere else too, probably this? since it's hypnoses and all
yeah, I don't know what I did to cause this bug, but I tried to unequip the clips after the second, and Mezz said that about not being that confident, but the roars still were still able to mind control him
also, I only remembered now, when this bug happened, a 4th skill was in the menu, sometimes was struggle, sometimes was submit, and sometimes was persuade, I'm pretty sure it was the last skill used during a sex scene
sorry, I was not able to try to reproduce the issue yet, I'm starting a new playthrough to try to reach it
yes, that's what the issue was, I removed the clip after the second defeat, and the option to remove the jacket was not available yet, the boars were still able to use the mind control, I did notice mezz was doing a lot less damage in every attack, and the status were lowered in the menu, I can guess that's a different character in the script because of how RPGMaker works
and that made me think some flags were set incorrectly, maybe the masher boar is set to fight the second version of Mezz, or the second version of Mezz is set to always be zapped by a masher boar in the second area even without the clips
I can try to reproduce the issue tonight, but I know I was fighting the boars with the X on the baseball bats when this occurred
