  • This game is, unfortunately, broken in this release. From what I saw though, this wouldn't have been a bad game at all. The art I saw was good and it concerns spirit preg, which is somewhat rare to see. I definitely look forward to playing the fixed version, however I needed to base my feedback off of the version submitted to us.

There are many bugs preventing me from playing. The one full art CG I saw of her in a chair was nice even if it did softlock the game. I can’t really review much because technical issues prevented me from playing. I’ll be sure to give it a shot again if the various soft locks, progression issues, missing sprites, etc are fixed. The CG was promising and I wanted to see more

I felt quite lost in this one I'm afraid. I was really never sure what I was supposed to be doing. If I talk to an NPC near the start and tell him I'm building a house I see a cutscene where the protagonist conceives - but it's very confusing. A ghost floats around and turns into a white pumpkin. Then it goes to a house screen where I can't move or interact with anything. I restarted and avoided that NPC, managed to talk to someone else about cutting down some trees, and although I made a little progress here it was still very difficult to grasp. I think there might be a lot of the story in this game that's all clear in the creator's head, but unclear to the player.

- why is the husband hanging around some boxes the whole time? What's he doing?
- what is the player character supposed to be doing? Is she finding a house?

I'd like to be more positive- I do think there's potential here. Do keep at it. Always try to remember that players will not do what you expect, or know everything you know coming in.

Seems like a fun game, unfortunately it stopped working after the first house scene.  

If this ever gets a patch to fix that bug I'd happily play the whole game, since it looks like fun.

The main characters sprite is gone/invisible after the first intro scene and you start in your house
