Holy crap. This is fantastic! Why is this not higher on the charts?
From the eloquent writing, to the world building, to the character designs and renders, to the unique positions that don't feel copy and pasted. Everything is just awesome!
That's even before the puzzles, it's such a creative and fun idea. I would honestly be more apt to play JUST the puzzles, if it didn't gatekeep the smut. I honestly switched to Story Mode just to see where the story was going. They can be a bit of a time sink and sort of break up the story. But man, are they fun individually.
This may sound odd, but I am especially blown away by the water graphics and how much attention to detail was put into the refraction and lighting. The pride in your work shows immensely.
Seriously. This is some Caribdis level stuff. I have seen... probably too many... Ren'py VNs, and you are head and shoulders above 99% of them. Keep up the great work! I will be following this very closely, and look forward to this project finding it's end, please don't abandon this gem! This is one of few projects I would HAPPILY pay for.
