Bugs and Suggestions

So, played through what I could and thus far the Art is amazing, really drew me in. It's one of those situations though were I would certainly consider different outfits for characters in this one, or at least the "core" girls. Janice is legit sleeping in her day wear outfit, I'm sure this is planned for change but it stuck out like a sore thumb. Some of the dialogue and overall progression just seems...rushed. You instantly and for no reason jump straight into characters, namely Janice and Lily doing lewd things without any pretext to why. Janice jumps into it because...we helped her with the Laundry? Lily falls for you essentially because you built a pillow fort? I'm not looking for the grindfest of the century, but it seems like there wants to be story here, so thus I'm expecting it.

- (Bug) Obviously can't progress Lily past the Luchador Mask scene. Few people have said it here, she jumps on your back and you can't progress the dialogue.

- (Bug/Not Implemented) The buttons along the bottom of the screen, menu, log, qsave and such do not work outside of Hide and speaking of Hide leads me to my first suggestion.

- (Suggestion) Ability to take a screenshot. I know this isn't Ren'py but the feature of being able to press H to hide and S to take a screenshot are some of the things I utterly enjoy, especially when the art for the game is as beautiful as this.

- (Suggestion) Different outfits on the characters. I see that Modify as far as colors go is planned, but with the quality of the ladies to the point of their facial expressions seems like thus an attention to detail probably should be touched on. I do art for my own franchise (books, games, art, etc) so I understand the process in which goes in for having to do alot of this for several characters. In the long-run though, I believe it would be a nice small thing to note for players to see the ladies and even the main character have a few different outfits they cycle through.

- (Bug) Either loading operates weird in the game or it's just bugged. Having to click load and then new game and then rename everyone and their relationship is heavily cumbersome when playing.

- (Suggestion) down the line, because everything seems so vast, would probably be neat to add in things outside of scripted scenes so it feels like their are things to do. For example, like a LoSeSb (Love, Sex and Second Base) This game is like that with, (in my opinion) a higher quality on art. That has done a good job of having day to day stuff to do and still having girls interact with you in many ways. A system around that allows them to have personality and reactions to what you do and say. In that you can spank them, talk about several topics, go in for the kiss but they might reject you depending on current standing, give gifts, etc. It gets to a point though where they will randomly ask you on dates or to do things. You can play games, take a shower, eat food, go to the gym, go to work, go to school, etc and this game seems like it's on that track.


There are alot of things that just aren't implemented but looks promising, several locations on the map. Achievements and different features on the phone. I look forward to this one, but hopefully it doesn't rush itself or lose sight of what it's looking to achieve. In this age of gaming we live in, and as myself a game developer as well, I feel it's the little things and touch-ups, nods to small presentation that elevate games. I think this one has all that potential and more if it adheres to those small things, little things like being able to watch a movie with characters and having a selection of movie types and they each react differently to each one. Or having the ability to watch a movie with one, two or all of them and spending time together. Having locations that they will be at so things coincide together, like eating breakfast, lunch and dinner. Truly having ways your character helps Janice that makes her fall for you, like YOU doing the cooking, you cleaning up around the house or maybe even you getting a job and helping pay rent.

All and all, great game thus far, if you see this and read through it, greatly appreciate the time. Be well, and take care!

-(suggestion) add the option to go back to the main screen when clicking on new game.
