Really disappointed with the steam launch for this game, I was rooting for it to be good but after going through the first season there's a whole lot of issues that I need to address. 

-To charge 7-10 USD for each season is beyond the pale, there is not enough game in there to justify that price. 3-5 USD a season? maybe. This becomes more evident when you realize Season 1 is being advertised with S2 scenes and characters. 

-I bought the bundle expecting S1 to include the scene with Synne on bed, as it is included on the store page, or the one when Kikki is holding Charlotte's boobs,  this made it look as the first season would have much more content than it really has, but nope, if you have played the free / demo version on itch you have already experienced well over 70% of the first season, and the remaining 30% isn't that well done, 

-After each following chapter the black screens and "thoughts" masking the limited amounts of renders become more predominant and it becomes apparent that the focus was put on the first couple of chapters while the following feel thoroughly rushed. 

- The achievements also support this idea, there are 8 single achievements on S1 and all of them you "achieve" on the first 20-30 minutes of play. 

- Also on that note, the game inflates play time by having you go through both "choices" on a specific fork on the road early on, something I can only justify as the developer needing to set the stage for a future scenario including both characters those "choices" involve being present with the MC, as in making it easier for just rendering a single version of that hypothetical scene. It would've been easier to simply have both scenes happen without having the player choose one over the other, it feels cheap and manipulative.

I just hope this honest feedback brings a bit of perspective to the developer, there is still time to fix the most glaring issues and prevent your audience to reach the same conclusions I have. 

Thank you for your input! I will try to adress your comments as good as I can - and I would love your thoughts on this:

Pricing

It's been hard for me to assess the price level on this - but I take with me your input - thank you

Screenshots

It was a long process to get the game approved with several changes of plans, so this needs to be cleaned up. As for the quality of the overall game, that is of course done to the best of my abilities.

The narrator screens

I guess this is a question of taste - Not all images are that fun to create either. But okay, noted.

Achievements

This is work in progress - a lot more is planned on being added - as mentioned in the release notes.

Choices and agency

This is also work in progress

That's about where it stands right now.

I've corrected the mix of screenshots for the two seasons - thanks for letting me know

Thanks, that's good to know. I wouldn't dare to suggest what price you should charge for your product, but I can say that there is not enough content in your first season to charge 7-8 USD (don't know if that's the price everywhere, that's how much it shows in my region) I could point at other AVNs priced similary ("Come Home", for instance, wich is free but you can purchase a premium edition for about the same price of TB) and TB doesn't come close to the amount of content those other games provide. You have a nice premise, it's different and interesting, you also have models / Lis that feel a bit more realistic and down to earth, more so than the usual bimbos with impossible hourglass shapes you get in most AVNs, but other than that your game is lacking in other areas, and these other areas (amount of content, animation quality, etc) weigh a ton in people's perception of the game experience and whether the price matches what they've experienced. I hope you can take my feedback to heart and improve your product for future seasons, I wish you well.

Thank you for taking the time to give input!
