I really enjoyed this game. I couldn't stop playing till I had seen the end. I also really, really appreciate you giving us full control over the sort of sexual acts we'll experience; you can even remain 100% faithful to your wife, which I liked. Seriously, you have no idea how many adult VNs just force you into all manner of sexual situations you may or may not be comfortable with.

Really, my only gripe with this game is the ending. No matter the path you tread, no matter your choices, it always ends the same way. Not sure if that's the actual ending or just the end of the current content, I'm hoping it's the latter, but it just kinda ends leaving the player\reader hanging.

I'm glad you enjoyed the game and many choices it offers!
Good news! It's not the end of the game! It's only the end of chapter 14 (out of 17), so there is still a lot more content to be explored with many endings depending on your previous choices.
Usually, I release an update every two months.

Thanks!

That's fantastic! I'm really looking forward to future updates. I've only played one other VN which made me feel like my choices actually mattered, so I can't wait to see how the story unfolds.

The Stranger, can you tell me what other VN you played? I want to try it.

Hey, Xage!

If you haven't already, check out Acting Lessons. It's an adult VN, but one where a lot of your choices influence how the story plays out. It's actually an adult VN that has consequences for you sleeping around, and has a fairly dark ending. The story, at least for me, was also very emotional. I did play Being A DIK, but felt it gave the player much less agency than Acting Lessons; I also simply didn't like the boring college plot or its characters.

There's also another interesting VN that focuses on story more than sex, Oath of Loyalty. It's a mafia style VN which also gives you a fair number of choices. The consequences of said choices aren't as big as in Acting Lessons, but they still do have an impact on how others treat you in the story. You can also choose who to pursue romantically similar to this game, so that's a huge plus for me. If you don't want to go for anyone, you don't have to.

That's really about it, unfortunately. Almost every other VN in this art style I've played only gives you the illusion of choice, and will often force you into situations you might not want to be a part of.

Hey! I've played two other detective themed VNs:

The first also deals with supernatural themes, but I can't tell you much about the second because I didn't enjoy the short amount of time I spent playing it.
