Oooooo, could you make it where you can have a "scene" with the mayor?? I can see it now, "his citizens are so impressed with Yu's work that he figured he would give it a try." Splendid.

Hey, thanks for the lenghty review! :3
About the floraverse vibe - we’re fans of it and played all your games, so there’s some inspiration coming from there :D
Also there’s a Cherry Kisses reference in the Yu’s room (masturbation scene with the “Hee..”) - not sure if you noticed.
Regarding the minigame, I wanted to have some interactive replayable part in the game which would serve as the income source, but the execution is lacking because it’s not actually a rhythm game, rather some kind of a weak click-in-sync-and-ignore-the-music game. I’m planning on reworking and redesigning this section entirely because it doesn’t require any new art.
I’m very happy that you like the world (just a small village, but “world” sounds cooler) we created~! We had a few more characters planned and more story would unfold, with possible expansion to the north (a bridge through the river maybe) - but as it usually goes with a jam game, we couldn’t fit everything in in such a short time (flu season didn’t help as the artist was sick for over a week). The dialogue is heavily influenced by me reading tons and tons of doujins which usually have this kind of cheesy stuff. Maybe I should read more serious erotic literature?
Also it’s my first time writing dialogues so I need a lot of practice in this field… but I think I learned a lot writing for this game. I hope I can persuade my artist to work on this or some other NSFW games in future, because it was a lot of fun :)
Here’s a reference sheet to give you a hint of what other characters we had planned.

Thanks for the review Impy! The money grinding is what people usually don’t like about this game, so in the post-jam build it’s made a bit easier. Also there’s a pouch with 2500 coins you can find in some of the trash bins. With only 5 scenes, I didn’t see a point of more minigames or other earning possibilities, as the grind is there just to have some “resting” time before the next scene happens. Not sure if it’s in the jam submission, but we now have “E” icon above doors to show that you can interact with it. I’d like players to explore the map and try interacting with the visually obvious (or less obvious) objects and be surprised when they find something and putting the hints above every interactible would disallow this. The repeating text idea is nice, it makes sense to me that when Yu’s talking to herself the text could show instantly (for example when entering her room). It’s questionable if it would make sense to have other characters speak to you instantly though, as the text beeping is there to emulate actual speech.
Anyway, thanks again for the review and your kind words, we appreciate it a lot! ^^

Hey, the owner didn’t make it to the jam’s version, so it’s just there as a moral dilemma :D One picture is beneath the yellow flower, the other in one of the trash bins to the south.

Thanks for the review - the grinding is there to add some play time between scenes so that the game is a bit less linear (it’s still very linear). Anyway, a tutorial might be a nice addition, but you still get full reward for the first play, so it’s ok if you fail the first time. Also, there’s a way to make walking between houses a bit faster.

Have you seen the ritual scene? You can get the pebbles from Mona’s bag, and the vial is sold by Mona as well. Also there’s a “hidden” scene with Marionette you can have before the succubus.
