Happy two year-iversary! This quickly became one of my favorite "new" AVNs. I'm excited to see what's coming next!

That seems to have done it! That space is what I was missing. The terminal accepted the command, and the game launched after that. Sorry for being difficult, but I appreciate the guidance.

Those instructions didn't help me, either. The terminal spits out an error. I've tried it several times.

I'm afraid that doesn't seem to be fixing it. The terminal output says "Not enough arguments for option -d. Expected at least 2 but got 1". I've no idea what any of that means, but I gather the command isn't functioning as intended, and the game still refuses to open.

Incidentally, I don't think it's a Unity issue. I've played other Unity-based AVNs without having this problem.

I've tried to download the Mac version a couple times, but I keep getting "this file is damaged" errors and it refuses to open. Anyone else having this problem?

I don't like to use the term "binge", but I don't have a better way to describe how much I've enjoyed this story. I devoured everything in 3-4 days, and I want more. Few AVNs have kept my attention like this one.

I'm also on a Mac, and I was able to download it yesterday without issue. I was also able to download it just now, no problem. Maybe try again?

Perfectly understandable. I'll try to make note of specific errors I find in the future so they can be reviewed. Looking forward to the update!

I've barely finished the intro, but I had to come by and express my delight at this writing. The banter between characters is absolutely magical. The script could do with an editing pass for typos and such, but the core content is some of the best I've read. Just wanted to put that out there.

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I feel like MC is kind of an arrogant prick. He's letting this "chosen one" situation really go to his head, walking around like he's untouchable. I genuinely wanna see him get his ass handed to him.

I absolutely loved Natsuha's intro to the academy. Having her function as a hard counter to Soushi's horseshit was a brilliant choice. The entire game is overall excellent, but that moment was a particular highlight for me.

Short but sweet. Loving all the characters and their dynamics so far.

Any chance we could get a textbox opacity slider option? Some of the text is hard to read against some backgrounds.

Excellent game so far! I'm genuinely impressed with how much control is given to players: MC's personality, his treatment of the girls, everyone's combat skills, the management of the duchy... It all allows for a surprising amount of variation in how the game is played. Not something I often see in story-focused AVNs. It speaks to how much effort is put into crafting this whole experience. I thank you for all the time you've spent on this so far, and I look forward to what else you have in store.

Gonna echo some other commenters and say Daphne's redesign is excellent.

I'm now caught up to current release and...wow. I mentioned before that this is easily becoming a new favorite, but it's actually giving Eternum some competition for #1. Absolutely top shelf AVN.

Sound logic. In any case, I'm loving the small portion of the game I've seen so far, and I look forward to what else is in store. Thank you for your efforts.

The moment MC referred to his two training ferns as "assholes", I knew this would become a new favorite for me. The writing style is exactly what I love, and all the gorgeous redheads are icing on the cake.

I'm still working my way through existing content, but it's been hinted through character dialogue that a harem-style playthrough is possible. If so, I'm curious why the tags don't include "harem". Is it because it's optional? It's usually a tag I look for when hunting for AVNs, and I imagine others would be more likely to find this gem that way, but I understand if it's been excluded for a reason.

I wasn't keeping track until that point, but since then, I have noticed a few others:

Day 117, Sophia's house, Emily and Sophia present, multiple instances of "Sis" and "Big Brother".

Day 119, MC's house, Rose is present, and MC calls her "Sis".

Despite choosing the "no incest" option at the start of the game, I've run into a number of scenes where the MC refers to his mom and sisters, rather than landlady/caretaker/roommate. A scene with Matilda around day 116 (on the good route) contained multiple instances of "mom", "sister", "nephew", etc. I understand these things can slip by, but it's really souring the experience. I hope it can be addressed.

That's...entirely possible, actually. On loading my previous save, I may have advanced to the post-game screen before scrolling back to a point where the new chapter could start. I didn't realize that would reveal the bios in their entirety. Thankfully I only saw the one, minor spoiler. I'll be careful to avoid that in the future. I appreciate the insight.

I am certainly pleased with who won the goth contest, but I do feel a bit bad for Chloe. I legit thought she had one of the better outfits, and while I understand the logic behind the scores she received, I think it's a shame that her association with an enemy faction sabotaged her chances so severely. She seemed genuinely interested in participating.

Incidentally, I wanted to mention that the winner's bio reveals her victory even before the contest has started. I only know this because I went through most of the bios to refresh my memory as I began the latest update.

Overall, I really enjoyed the new content. I look forward to learning more about our new "friend". She's been an enigma from the start, and I can hardly wait to discover how she'll fit into all this. Thanks for the excellent experience!

I really enjoy how this story is developing, but I'm terribly curious where things will go with Bianca. I don't want to spoil anything, but among all the girls, she stands out for a very particular reason, and I can't help but wonder why that is.

Instant download. Been looking forward to this for a while. Can't wait to dig in!

Seems the free version is no longer banned! Good news for anyone who isn't able to spring for the premium version.

I'm very intrigued by some of these planned additions. I of course love the story, but injecting a bit more gameplay into the mix would really elevate the experience. Looking forward to the next release!

I had that happen a lot, as well. Every few in-game days, I'd go to sleep, and the game would just freeze, making me force quit. I got in the habit of saving every day, and I agree, it's very annoying.

I've had this game on my AVN todo list for a while now, and I finally got around to starting it the other day. Holy hell, I should not have waited so long! This is easily among my top three favorites now. Echoing earlier comments, the writing is phenomenal. Every character feels unique, which is hard to accomplish in a cast this large. Darci has absolutely perfect chaos gremlin energy, and I cheer every time she makes someone regret underestimating her. I can hardly wait to see what comes in the next episode.

Although BDSM isn't my thing, I've certainly come to understand it a bit more during my time with this. What's kept me here is the excellent writing and the impressive amount of actual game. Most Renpy games I've experienced are simple VNs, with player interactions limited to mere dialogue choices. Here we have an array of stats to manage, quests to follow (many of which are interconnected and can apparently have multiple outcomes), complex minigames, and an actual fail state. When I first booted it up and saw we had difficulty options, I knew this would be a unique experience, and I'm glad I've stuck around even if some of the themes aren't aimed at me. I'm looking forward to what else is in store.

"It's not about the size, but only about the growing, am I right?"

You get it. YOU GET IT. So few people understand this about BE content. It's the journey, not the destination. Great to see that ideal being realized here. Marvelous work so far.

This has been an excellent experience so far. I love how unique every character feels. I do hope we get more "group activities" in the future; those moments with Cait and Lyriel together were among my favorites.

My enjoyment of the game unfortunately dropped significantly after the events at the Gate. The departure of the Doc certainly hurt, but having her be replaced by an apathetic automaton whose only purpose seems to be providing certain plot-relevant skills and information... It felt like an unwelcome downgrade.

I'm also confused about the addition of "tiger bro". He seems fine on the surface, but he feels like a weird inclusion when the rest of the crew (minus the aforementioned replacement doctor) is made up of gorgeous girls you can repeatedly bed. Alex's presence at least made sense; he's the unappealing creeper that makes MC look good by comparison. But I don't understand Vann's purpose.

In any case, the story is enough to keep me coming back for future updates. I just hope things shift closer to what initially drew me in.

I have to agree with the first point. Having that moment with Helen, and then having it cut off while implying far more happened, felt kind of cruddy. I can understand that scenes like that take a lot of effort, but simply saying "and then they banged like three more times" seems like a failure to deliver.

That said, I really enjoy what we have so far, and I'm curious to see where the story goes from here. Looking forward to future updates.

Hmm... Well, you are a very capable writer, clearly. It's why I enjoy the game as much as I do. I'm glad to hear Rachel will eventually change her ways, but I do worry that even if she gets accepted into the group, her presence will be a constant reminder of the terrible things she's put us through. I'm having a hard time picturing her eventual acceptance as anything but pity, but I trust that you can give her a satisfying redemption arc. I thank you for your efforts, and I look forward to everything you have in store.

Exactly! So many other girls have good chemistry with the MC and also get along with one or more girlfriends already. Almost anyone else in the cast would be more deserving of a spot in the harem. Rachel has repeatedly wronged both the MC and several of his favorite people, while showing virtually no remorse for her behavior. I would consider it a miracle if she's ever redeemed.

I'm very much enjoying the game so far, but I have to be straight: I despise Rachel, and I really, really hope she does not become one of the girlfriends. I want her nowhere near our happy little harem, especially considering the limit we've been given on how many girls we can invite (though I wouldn't be surprised if that limit is expanded at some point).

I played Once in a Lifetime just before playing Eternum, and while I enjoyed OiaL, this one is leagues above it. It takes everything great about OiaL and dials it up 500%. The story, the characters, the comedy, the art and animation, the music, everything is stellar. I can hardly wait for the next version.

Very helpful, thank you!

There is no NTR, at least not on any of the routes I followed.

I should clarify: On the routes I've explored, several people attempt to take one of the MC's love interests, but the "harem path" has the MC resist. I suppose if you make a specific choice in one of those moments, a girl could be lost and end up with someone else, but the game considers that a bad thing.

Additionally, the MC can steal someone else's love interest, but I'm not sure if that would fit the definition of NTR-adjacent. It's not a niche I'm very familiar with.
