This game has the most epic bloody fighting scene I have ever encountered in similar adult renpy games! The protagonist is very cool! All the girls look good! The fantasy background lore for this game also looks solid and well thought out! I like to be able to have control over the protagonist's feelings and actions. I like that it seem to be that the game gives the player very meaningful choices.

The only thing I disliked is that the game almost made me rage quit two times, when the protagonist unavoidably had sex with the girls in his dreams. I mean I hate to have no control over what's happening, but if it was just a nightmare, well, okay I guess I can accept it.

The other thing slightly bothering me about the future of this game is the so called "sandbox" gameplay, that will be probably implemented in the next version. I hope the story quality will not drop down and it won't turn into a f**k simulator only with short repeatable minievents and minigames.

Anyway, thanks and good luck for further developing it!

Thanks for your feedback!

Wait, let me get this straight, you prefer if you can avoid having sex in this game?

And regarding the sandbox, it will turn into like that, but there's still going to be long events that progress the story in every update. But there's also going to be a story mode where you basically don't have to do any mini events or mini game to progress the story.

To be precise I prefer to have sex only with the girl I love, and prefer to avoid having sex with the others. And I'm not against harem games if the game lets me choose which girls I take into my harem. I only dislike enforced, unavoidable harem games, where the protagonist unavoidably gets into relationship with everyone regardless of user choice.

Story mode sounds good for me, the story is the soul of every game. You made a good into story, because you actually care about making a good game.

Thanks for letting me know about the plans with the sandbox part.

I see, thank you for your feedback!

I am planning to make friendship/love routes, that's why some sex scenes can be avoided.

But the thing is there's lots of main characters, and if I made both routes for all of them, it might made the update really slow, so I'm thinking of making the harem routes first, then the friendship routes much later.

I'm still undecided right now. I think I can just make the difference in both routes only a little, so it won't take too much time in making both routes. In the meantime I will make it so that some sex scenes are avoidable.

Regarding the dream sex, there's a reason why it's unavoidable. And for the reason itself, hopefully it'll become clear in the future events, though you can guess a little based on what already happened. But you're right, you can think of it as a nightmare for now.

I agree, your time is limited, so it's reasonable to first focus on the common route, (or harem route).

And now that I think about it, indeed there are a lot of characters in this game, so writing in parallel each girls full route would require too much time.

Also, I guess it would be very problematic to write a long complete full route for each of the girls after finishing the writing of the harem route, because it may cause a fight amongst your fans, to decide the order in which the girls would get their full routes written. :D

So I think that maybe the better choice would be to make a long common route with many short small brief branches which quickly converge back into the same linear story line of the harem route, in a way, that the player can still feel that his choices matter, even though the story is moving forwards in one direction until the ending. In this way after completing the harem ending you would just need to add short alternative endings for each girl instead of readjusting the full plot for every route.

I can also approve of the nightmare scenes, or creepy mysterious glitch scenes because they add some good suspense to the story, and can also satisfy those players who do not really care about the characters feelings, because they are just only lusting after sex.

Anyway, thanks for sharing this nice game for free :)

Never liked games that force you into sexual content and just assume you're good with it. Adding the choice to nope out is always nice, even if most people won't use it
