Played through it and I absolutely love it! Ren is such a cutie, my new obsession fr <3 The hair length customization is a nice touch since you can really see the amount of obsessiveness Ren shows based on your preference. Though I do have some thoughts about the nsfw scenes.

Exploring the nsfw scenes was something I was really exited about though the disappointing thing about them is that they do cater to the submissive audience. I read through the scenes since I want to explore all the choices but I do admit that they leave me feeling disheartened. What most writers don't consider about nsfw is that if its involved it should at least cater to both dom and sub readers. Most of the time you can find submissive mc's anywhere in nsfw stories while the more dominant audience like myself are just left out. I always got kind of hopeful when the mc had some confidence going in just for that to last a second and losing control to Ren in the long run.

So no long term issues with the game since the story and art are just so so amazing. I'll keep coming back no matter what to see how the story progresses its just the nsfw scenes that really mess with me. Maybe its just a story thing but writers cant just expect that all of their audience to be comfortable with a submissive role.

Hiya!! Thank you for checking out the demo and leaving such an insightful review!! ^^

I do agree that the NSFW scenes appear really basic right now (and they do pander towards more submissive players), but I wanna quickly clarify that these scenes were a last-minute thing, and they originally weren't going to be in the demo in the first place. It's why I'm not advertising 14DWY as a porn/kink game (because inherently, it's not), why I haven't added much dom/sub variety in general, and why I'm not prioritising it over the main storyline.

The demo is intended to be played without the NSFW content; seeing as it has no real impact on the overall storyline (sleeping with Ren won't offer the player any additional relationship points or hidden lore). Also... Ren's real self ("[REDACTED]") is inherently a service top/pleasure dom at his core, so making him submissive right off the bat would feel a bit OOC to me ^^; From a writer's standpoint, it'd make more sense to ease him into this role as more Days come out (much like how he's easing into his "Haruko" persona).

Also!! From a developer's perspective, there are a lot of variables I'd need to keep track of ^^; On top of writing variations for dom/sub scenes, I'm already writing dialogue variations for each separate genitalia option, keeping track of pronoun usage, and very recently; I've added the option to choose your top genitalia, your body type (masculine, feminine, unspecified), and how others perceive you to the "Discord Server Booster" version of the demo. There's already a lot going on behind the NSFW scenes, and I wouldn't wanna stress myself out by adding more workload onto something that I've put on the backburner /pos /nm

But I truly appreciate your suggestions and feedback! ♡ I'll be sure to keep it in mind once I finish with the main demo and start to develop the NSFW scenes more. And thanks again for the kind words and support! ;w;
