Ha, you're not the first person to make the comparison!
But I would say DoL is a game that is completely about a particular kind of fetish - being a victim. It's also full of some rather strong content, including bestiality and rape, that might not appeal to everyone.
CoT is based on a completely different concept - simply being a college student in a town that's a bit more.. sexually free than most xD The entire point of the game is to explore that situation, to learn and grow, to be who you want to be without restriction of gender or sexuality. It's a more realistic setting, a softer setting, and a much more hopeful and happier setting!
I could see why you could think the two games are "similar", they both are life sims written in Twine! But aside from that.. I'd say there are very vast differences!
We're not competing with DoL, dude XD We have no need to or any want to. We're a completely different vibe over here, and there's room for both games to exist! There's a LOT that CoT will do that DoL won't, and we know there's stuff DoL will have that CoT will never have, too! So choose whatever game you want, it's cool! There's a lot of crossover in the fandoms, and we hope that both games can grow to be better together!
