  • This game wasn't quite what I was expecting. Does an excellent job at covering some of the tougher topics around pregnancy and the struggles of an up and coming maternity doctor. Gameplay was very repetitive and the minigames I struggled, even with the support items. Overall though it was a fun play
  • Pregnancy content: Surprisingly not as involved as I expected, though there is a fair bit here. I'd like more though, given the theme of the game and what is already there. Gameplay: Tedious at best, which is unfortunate. Most of the minigames feel janky and not very responsive, so they need adjustment. Seeing as the entire game hinges on them, this is really keeping this part down. Creativity: Something that I was wondering when I would see, to say the least. This topic is relatively seldom the main draw of a game, which I think is a shame since it gives a very natural way to incorporate the fetish into things. It needs work, but the ideas are great! Personal thoughts: Same as last year, there is a really good story here, just hidden by really quite extensie tedium, which is unfortunate. I would suggest getting a second pair of eyes next time who would be able to help you balance the pacing out, since it drags this time around. Overall, I liked it, but it requires a lot of patience.

Yo. Ho mi... that it's  great

Story: Beautifull. you take to show baby blues, abuse. You gave real depth to your characters. I loved it.
Nice cinematique To at the biginig and epilog to.

Unlock other gamplay by sign you buy is a good idea to.
And your game play are really exotic and full of inventiveness.
Lot of good idea. I was really goodly impressed.
Effect with blinded character (no spoil)... so nice.
Creat a Random customer system is great!

If I can say something is:
-you misical transition are really hard.
- Massage : To much information for easy mode but the gamplay is cleaver.
-Sewing: The game start to fast for prepar ouself. I recommend a timer before launching. (3/2/1 go)
After few attempt. I laughed out loud thinking about it "Deja vue -Initial D"
-Nature: Really nice bit some animal are really hard to see. ont each frame by session.
-Piano : Mode insane.... ARE YOU SERIOUS?  XD

I really take mi time and i really love this experience.
Thank for for this good time, for your work and your game.
Hoping not to wait until next year for your next project.. Cya ;)

Creative idea to create a game as a role of Obstetrician, the mini game quite difficult but good and creative. hope in the future may have some more interactive selection in the game.

I love the story in this game as the characters have a good arc and you can feel for them only problem is the game play is pretty bad as there is a lot of filler to get to the good parts of the story and some of the mini-games can be be hard to play like the sewing game as one wrong move and it all down hill from there and you get a failing grade but still even with that I have to finish the story to were it was going to.

I really like the game. I hate the prince and am glad Evelin got away from him.

I really like this game's premise and what I've seen of the story so far is amazing! (I'm not above admitting I might have gotten a little misty-eyed) 

That said, the minigames definitely need some more work; they're ridiculously tough, especially in the beginning. The binoculars minigame feels like the only one that's playable; I was just skipping the minigames altogether until I got them. The massage minigame's controls feel a bit sluggish and heavy, like it'll take a split second to stop. Combined with being asked to follow a very precise and invisible path makes it impossible to avoid any mistakes. The best my patients ever gave me was a not bad. The sewing minigame is just impossible through and through. I'd need superhuman reflexes to command a needle going that fast, and even then it feels like it doesn't always register my input.

All in all, I really want to give this game more of my time and see where the story goes, but it's just frustrating enough to keep me from really sinking my teeth into it. If there's ever an update that fixes these issues, I'll definitely play it again!

Thanks for the feedback! The story was my main goal with this year's jam entry so I'm really happy you were enjoying it. I've seen a couple of other comments concerning the first two minigames so I may look at toning down the difficulty once the jam is complete. If you're still interested in experiencing the story, be sure to follow or remember to check back in a few weeks.

So just based off a bit of playtime, it seems the sewing needle is pretty unresponsive to commands. This makes the sewing minigame quite tough even on easy. Maybe it's an issue on my end, but that's just something I noticed.

I found the sawing needle minigame hard too even when I bought the item that should have made it easier, not only that but in the piano minigame I missed two notes at the end, and now they are unresponsive for the rest of that playthrough even when I save and exit the game
 I guess that's a commands issue

FINALLY, A REAL ENTRY-
