- I feel like in concept this game could be good. Definitely an early release for the jam but I can see some strategy in picking paths down the road and using skills. Pregnancy wise you get to pick a character and have a few very cute cutscenes with them which were good, although I wish pregnancy could be tied into the combat systems which is a majority of the game at the moment. It took a little bit to understand the game and a few runs to get things down. Overall looking forward to seeing how this game turns out in the future!
- Pregnancy content: I like the art, the fact that you can choose who is pregnant and the events that are currently in the game, though there isn't really anything beyond that. It's a decent start, but I'd like to have explanations as well, if that is possible. Gameplay: I was more than a little confused, both by the UI and the gameplay itself, as there was no real intro to how much of anything works. I didn't get unlucky like some others and managed to actually get rather far most times, though. It needs some more explanations and polish so new players have an easier time. Creativity: It feels unfair to give it a low score, because there is clearly a thought behind this and the systems feel like they were thought out, though not very balanced. I just have no idea what exactly is going on, or why one person is pregnant and the other isn't, or how that affects things, etc. It just needs some work in that department so that things make sense, since it's hard to get invested quite yet. Personal thoughts: I think that, if things were explained, this would have been much higher on my rating. There is effort and thought put into this, complete with a 3D map and everything, but the lack of direction or instructions really hurts it. What is there isn't bad, but I'm gonna look forward to how further versions will explain the world, mechanics and story.

Game looks good. Is there an android version?
This was really great. Took me a while to figure out how to restore stamina/magic, but after that the gameplay was a lot of fun, and the character interactions were very cute. I had enough fun that I played both paths, so you should definitely be proud!
Yo. I like you art and your character. You music is nice to.
Your map is not really on the same mood. It spoil a bit the atmosphere
I whould i have to the outline of the story.
Your fighting system is interesting. You can creat you own strategie and replay with other if you want.
But i think yoo need to review the balancing.
Thank for you work and your game. I wait the next updat. :D
Most of what I see is good. Moment to moment gameplay is fairly solid, though VERY unforgiving early on. I'd say at the moment most of my complaints are primarily directed to the UI, which is kinda clunky. just gonna make a list.
as for other stuff:
I'm trying my best to be constructive with my criticism for what I see in the moment. I do really like a lot about this game, I think when it's more baked it's gonna be really good. looking forward to future builds.
Has charm to it and the 3d map integration is cool, not too sure if I was just fumbling around but just got shredded with damage before being able to progress far with each attempt
honestly the 3d map is completely unnecessary and clunky to use. A 2d map probably would have been a better idea
The art is nice.
