Just recently got into these kind of games.

I always thought this adult stuff as a main theme of a game just doesn't work, because it would constantly distract you from the plot (cause horny lol).

It's not even been a week since I got into all of this and I already got proven wrong about this by a handful of games, which I consider a lot!

This one just is another gem.

HOW, just HOW, can a game of this type be this exciting and fill you with this much empathy?! How can it still be freaking hot like that?! How can it, on the other hand, not make you constantly horny and distracted?! How can this be free?! I just don't get it.

I'm planning to become a game developer myself in the future. I'm not aiming at this specific kind of work though (just yet), because I think it's way too risky. Same reasons as stated at the very top, so I can't completely let go of my point of view. But for taking this risk (and succeeding, of course), I just want to pay respect by writing this!

I'm just amazed. Wholeheartedly, thank you for this masterpiece!

(Just finished the first act)

Oh, friend. The first act is just a small part of the game. Act 2 is close to 10 times as long. And act 3… well, it’s in development. (bear mind, progress could be slow, project is nearing 4 years in the making, all by just one guy)


The adult games scene is… peculiar to say the least. Some people only care about the lewdness, some want gameplay, some people actually want a story featuring adult elements (sex).

It’s difficult to strike a balance, and every developer does it their own way.

One of the unofficial mottos of CK is:

“Come for the porn, stay for the story”

It has held true, and most likely will still do in the future.


Some days I wonder if Arc could’ve made it as a “normal” game dev.

But perhaps it would’ve been much more difficult to reach an audience. The tradeoff was, that this project can never become too “mainstream” due to its nature.


I wish I could recommend you other adult games with quality writing. Alas, I don’t play that many adult games. Plus there’s the issue of the individual kinks featured in the game that might not be your cup of tea. (due to the nature of the games).

Hope you enjoy the ride.

Thank you for your answer.

Well I guess I should also question what my purpose in making games really should be.

Is it about the audience? If so, then I guess there are always different kinds of players. But that's both for adult and normal games I'd say.

Do I want to at least make a living out of it? Well, adult games or not, it's not that easy either way. I guess it's easier to start off with an adult game, but there is indeed this tradeoff you were talking about.

But if I focus more on myself, it won't really matter all that much. I mean, I'm also doing it for myself alright.

Also I can always just do both adult and normal games to see what works best for me.

I agree that this is an amazing game, and is one of my top favorites. If you haven't played them already, some other games that have a great story and gameplay while maintaining adult elements would be: Mist, Knightly Passions, Champion of Realms, Price for freedom, and Shuggerlain.
