just bought the game,and its really good,if i could suggest a hidden easter egg somewhere?,maybe in the entertainment district,put up graffiti thats effectively a trap,have the character reads it and it hits a trigger,then he goes to the next one in a certain order getting more and more brainwashed leading to an ending scene or something?~,you had a graffiti that was 'yeah just like that' which makes me feel like the potential is there,you could have it be slightly off color from the blue kind,or maybe do something with the glowing green phone at the back of the city portion,it looked important and i tried to interact with it at first

Developer

Thanks! It depends on how you define easter egg, but there are a number of things in the game that are somewhat more obscure. Have you found the keys yet, for example? Or the Street Sausage? And there's actually one reference not a single person has commented on yet. None of this is essential of course, but there are some minor things hidden here and there.

(1 edit) (+1)

ive yet to find the street sausage,though i would love more stuff with the thing that happened in the side alley~,you know the one where the person disappeared?,dont want to get too descript for people so not spoil


but yeah maybe the dogs perverted the graffiti in the entertainment district,and have it so each one mezz finds puts him more and more into a hypno slut mode more or such,fun stuff like that

(+1)

so...the 5 v1...am i not supposed to win or...?

Developer

All the fights are winnable. Comes down to timing and strategy. Using the right attacks (and non-attacks) at the right times.

(+1)

and pray for good RNG

Hey, I'm the one that posted about the video freezing issue in the first release. Just thought I'd give an update after trying the new versions. Haven't had any problems since adding in that patch that's supposed to fix it, so it seems like that did the trick.

Developer

Excellent! Glad to hear the fix is working.

(+1)

i cant get past the group of hyenas in the desert </3

(+1)

i've been really enjoying the game so far and as of right now i've gotten most of the fail endings that takes me back to the title screen. got the after the final porn shop visit with what happens if you get caught too many times. but my personal favorite so far is the vial in the vent game over. though i'm now eagerly awaiting for the Slut ending like with CS:Ch1 as well as the extra pathways such as the middle in ED1 and i believe the side path in ED2 or ED3

Developer

Thanks, glad you're enjoying it so far! Yeah, going to have some fun filling it out the rest of the way.

(+1)

Well i guess this game is pretty funny anyway.

(+1)

Can you tell us how to get through the mission to find the mirror?
(3 edits)

You can tell privately.

Developer

Should be pretty straight-forward: just follow the hint at each stage. Where are you getting stuck?

(+1)

What are discarded keys used for? I can't find a place to use them.

Developer

Try them in combat.

(+1)

Thanks, I thought it would be used to open doors in certain places, btw, can that door inside Basement Hallway be opened or do I need to wait for a later update?

Developer

The one at the back of the alley? Not for now. That'll be a next chapter thing.

(+1)

I'm not very good at English, I use a translator and it still doesn't pass, can I ask for an answer?
Developer

"You" will work for an answer. You have to type it into Satin's prompt.

ya somos dos que no hablamos ingles amigo airbus2517 jajajaja....

Yes 555

thank you very much
(+1)

hello. friend. I really enjoyed the game... but I would like to know if there is any way to fight without the hyenas using submission?

Developer

What do you mean by "submission"? If you mean the hypno fight mechanics in general, that's what the good luck charm is for.  It acts as a toggle for that gameplay. There's no way to target specific moves though, it's all part of a larger system that's either on or off.

(+1)

Yes, I mean the hypno fight mechanics. where can i find that good luck charm? Well, I've been looking in various corners of the game finding things, but I haven't come across that good luck charm.

Developer

You have to fight Mahir when he offers and win.

ok... thank you...

(+1)

Just wanted to say its my first time also buying a game on itch.io loved the first game and this one is great i'm really addicted aha as a hypnosis fan it has everything I could want in a game.Plus the music is fantastic.

Developer

It's an honor to be the first! As a creator there's always a little disappointment even if a project goes well, because you always hope to do more. But I'm glad you're enjoying it so far; definitely a lot more planned.

(+1)

Yeah thats true but ill defintly be buying the other chapters when they come out ❤️ Cant wait to "Accidently" get Mezz hypnotized in them.I also wanted to say its the attention to details I love too for exampe both games where Mezz becomes dazed and cant hurt the opponents properly or with what happens at the end of chapter one boss if you decide to be a slut aha.Alot of hypno games  kinda miss the mark with those details so I'm glad you dont :3

Developer

Oh absolutely. The little details make it a lot more fun.

(+1)

Hi, big fan of the game.  I am confused because everyone is talking about a mirror at the club and I cannot for the life of me find this quest.  Am I missing something?

Developer

To be clear, it's a hand mirror, and the "club"/party in the basement near the end of the game. Can't miss it, it's impossible to progress without doing it. If you're having trouble though, it starts with one of the kitsune to the left near the bar.

(+1)

Thank you for responding.  I finally managed to do it.  The problem was I only played the "other" way and didn't do the route that actually had the event.  Amazing work and attention to detail (especially that bit between Mahir and his friend).

Developer

Ah, that makes sense. Glad you were able to find it eventually. And thanks!

(+1)

heh. imagine if Cs or csgt mezz get a ai chat. 

Developer(+1)

Not practical right now obviously, but it has been fun to follow the various developments over the past couple years. Will be interesting to see where we are in a few more.

and i think i know just the site. spicychat.ai

Nice! Dig the bow-legged stance, should really keep that in mind myself to use at some point.

(+1)

Holy, this is incredible!

Developer (1 edit)

Ha, thanks! What did you like best?

Pff, didn't realize what comment chain this was in, thought it was a comment on the game. Glad people are enjoying Asrielsal's art though!

(+1)

Everything about it, hell yeah

You should totally post that on e621.net or something.

so don't mean to bother you or anything about it,but was wondering how things were going?,been about two months since you posted the roadmap to the next part and was wondering how along its going~

Developer

Work continues. So far I think I'm MOSTLY still on track to make the 3 month deadline (roughly end of Oct ?) for the first pack, but we'll see. Was held up by a lot of stuff until recently so progress was slower than I'd like. Have several CG finished though, and working on more.

(+1)

monthly deadline was end of september actually,but good to know

(+1)

Better that the guy finishes when he feels satisfied with the final result rather then feeling the need to finish quicker to meet some deadline. 

Developer

Dug through my records for some clarification on this.

The plan initially was to start on the first pack around July 7. But while I technically did, work was extremely slow through most of July due to me having to spend a lot of time on unrelated IRL issues. So yes, due to this delay the effective time since the July start date for the first pack will probably be four months, not three. Three months of solid work, but with a month "wasted" on non-game-related stuff. I'm currently targeting the end of October as stated. I've indicated the initial slowdown in various posts, but hopefully this will clarify the current state of things.

Note that while I take timeliness seriously, dates WILL shift, which is one of the reasons I rarely give especially defined ones. Sometimes up, sometimes down. Sometimes I'll over or underestimate what it takes to get something done, and sometimes, like here, unexpected things will come up. The important thing to me, and hopefully to the fans, is that I'm putting in as much time and effort as is possible, and planning in a way that's practical and doesn't get bogged down in idealism or perfection.

I think the timelines for GT are a perfect example of what to expect. I dramatically missed my first deadline, because I underestimated the scope of what I was doing. But I delivered within a month of the second, which is pretty good for a 13 month project.

(+1)

of course,i never expected you to stick to a hard deadline or anything adn irl stuff happens,ive no problem at all with you taking as long as you need to need to get it done up to the  standards you deserve,i just honestly forgot about the first month irl stuff adn took to looking at the timeline and got mistaken,hope i didnt offend~

Developer(+1)

Oh no worries. It's a balancing act: on the one hand, I don't want to drive myself too hard, or rush too much and sacrifice quality where it matters. It's not like I'm a 90s game company that has to hit "the Christmas Rush" or whatever. On the other hand, it is important that I have SOME sense of urgency, and try to communicate where I am with stuff clearly, so I appreciate the nudge to re-check my dates every once in a while.

(+1)

The game has been magnificent to play, yes, when I saw the title the word "gluttony" came to my mind, since the title was "Guttertrash" and I thought it was going to combine lust and gluttony in some kind of style, Just kidding that if I see a part three where the hypnosis is based on rage or fury, since it seems that with each episode the hypnosis changes color, and acts differently, since in the first episode it was slightly different from how it acts in this one, Likewise, I adore this saga from the first day I found out about its existence!!

Developer

Sorry your post took so long to go up! It was flagged as spam for some reason, a feature I didn't know this forum had. Glad you enjoyed the game though!

(+1)

Don't worry, honestly if you saw two identical messages sent by me, I don't know how the site works completely, simply seeing two options to publish the post, one at the top of the page while another option was at the bottom of the page. I sent one of each, so maybe that's why you got marked as spam

Developer

I only saw the one, but that could be it. Either way though, glad it worked out in the end.

(+1)

I played the first chapter of this game, loved it. At first I didn’t see why it was slow paced at first but now that I finished it I noticed the honest charm with it. The battles, characters, options, and decisions on can make was great. Now that I’m started to play this new one (new for me) I see that it still has that amazing charm and story along with it! However I hate!(love dw) the consequences of my actions :( <3 keep up the good work and I would support this 100%.

Developer

Aw, thanks! I'm glad people are still discovering both games. Got a lot more planned, so be sure to keep an eye out in the next few months.

(+2)

Finally got a bit of time to full explore the game 100%, i dont think i left a pixel unturned! I am excited for any upcoming updates :3

Developer

Thanks!

(+1)

was wondering how to get into that one club area since its locked and the guard tell ya to piss off 

Developer

You can't currently. Planning to implement that as an alternate route with one of the add-on packs (which will be free to those who have bought the game; I call them "packs," but in practice the game itself will just get upgraded with the new content as each one comes out.)

(+1)

cant wait ^^ i really enjoyed the last one. and goodness is there a way to beat the people at the end of the 3rd rout XD 

Developer

What do you mean by "3rd route?" The rush of larger mobs toward the end of the Entertainment District, or the area earlier with the different-colored hyenas?

(+1)

yeah so hard >.< 

Developer

Ok, but...I gave you two choices and your answer was "Yes." :D. No big deal, was just curious which area you were talking about.

(+1)

the larger mobs at the end of the entertainment district with the dif colored yeens. were you cant get your lust meter maxed 

Developer

Ah, ok. Yeah those are all about speed, prioritizing the right enemy, and maybe just a bit of save scumming. Don't just blindly attack: pay attention to where your multi-attacks land, and if one guy's about to go down, sometimes it's worth it to prioritize rushing him with a regular attack rather than waiting for your multi to recharge.
