I have had a great time playing your game summer sweeper and now this. I love your take on the ntr kink! I look forward to progress with this one! I enjoyed my time with it a lot. There is a lot of promise here.

To me your games have felt very catchy because your mechanics are blended together to give individually simple mechanisms and artwork a huge amount of depth and gameplay choice and hotness compared to the norm. Feels like a very unique strength to your games to have the mechanics and player choices working together, with or against rng to be what make achieving things in game hotter and more impactful.

I'm gonna provide a bit of critical feedback on my experience because I found it really interesting, with the asterisk that I really enjoyed it and this may or may not be at all relevant because I know it's far from finished and my preference may totally clash with your goals, feel free to disregard. 

Uniquely for me among the adult games I've played, I found this had almost a bit too much game for me. Between the card battles, currencies, room maintenance, bonuses, breaches and character stats mechanics there is SO much going on here. I had to read and try and reread tips feeling lost for a good while before I really began to understand the systems in play.

Where (for me) summer sweeper had very neat puzzles and a great gradual learning curve, the rapid introduction to everything in this game was teetering on too much. As a player I think I'm generally pretty good at picking up these sorts of systems but this one really made me work, if I wasn't into the kinks, I might've put it down before I realised how great it was.

If there was a difficulty setting to make it a bit simpler, or lengthen the learning curve without messing with your goal or the length of the overall game too much, I would appreciate that. 

I also found the arousal, lewdness and room potion icon split in this game very confusing/unintuitive, regarding what is needed to proc what events and exactly how they each interact with eachother. I've played through about 6~ times now and I still don't exactly know and I really did try to read through all the tips.

Oh and one little thing, when the game starts up I didn't know which brother was speaking, and who I was going to be thinking of as my character until the end of the cutscene. Maybe I missed an indicator about it, but my confusion around it blunted a bit of the initial impact of the setup until I understood it later.

But seriously, thankyou for your games! They've been great fun, well executed and super unique! I'm really looking forward to updates!

Edit - So I just read your upcoming updates to version 3 and it sounds like you've adjusted and changed many/all of these things for it. Lol I hope the review is at least a fun read if it's entirely obsolete.

Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you have enjoyed it! I definitely agree that overcomplicated mechanics are one of the weaknesses of this game. It's quite forgiving and will offer you boosters to make yourself more powerful in your second attempt, but there is definitely a lot going on. I don't know how much I can smoothen out the leaning curve in Bastion, but there are a few changes coming in v3 that will should help players make better decisions. I don't think there will be a difficulty setting beyond using the boosters. I like making gameplay focused games, but this one definitely ended up a lot more complex than my other projects.

Portraits for all companions have been added in v3 and I intend to add them for all room occupants in v4. The Lust/Lewdness/Temptation stats and icons are also somewhat more restricted in their use now with only Lust being used for generating Temptation.

I recently held a couple of polls for my subscribers and the general consensus was for 4 additional updates, so expect to see the final v7 release around March of 2023. The game will focus a lot more on depth from here on with more event variety. Thank you for the review, I hope you will find the time to play my future releases, there's lots more fun content coming!
