I don't know if this has been asked/answered before but:
Is there a difference between the yellow and red hearts?

Usually dysphoria-inducing words are in reference to oneself and not others. So if I heard someone use the word "clit" in reference to a woman I wouldn't care (but if it were in reference to a trans man I would care, unless it was clear that he was okay with other people calling it that). So as long as all characters are cis, I don't think it matters.
But I'm really happy that you care enough to implement the option to change those words! I've played other (erotic) games where "genitals don't equal gender" but they still use the same words and even call it a "female/feminine climax" or some shit sometimes. So as a trans man who's always had to either regret making a trans male character because of the words that are used or roleplay as a cis man and feel either dysphoric or completely disconnected when balls and ejaculation are mentioned I can't tell you how much this is appreciated!
And I'm not on the Discord, I am in two Discord groups for erotic audio creators but only use them to listen to audios they can't put on Patreon, so I never interact otherwise. But if there is other relevant (mostly trans-related, I guess) discussion for this game then I would probably join in.
Here are some word suggestions (for referring to a trans man's genitalia) from me as well (in case they're still needed):
"Vagina/Pussy"= (front) hole, things with man or boy in front of them like mancunt or boypussy, just cunt is also fine (but just "pussy" is pretty iffy for me personally, better with man- or boy- in front of it)
"Pussy lips/slit"= honestly have nothing for that, since I never use that part of my body. Also a tip: would be cool for people with two holes to have the opportunity to only use one, since I'm one of those people that can't use the front (for reasons of dysphoria and physical discomfort) and only do anal.
"Clit/bean"= dick, cock (there are a few more but those are the ones I use and I see other trans men use most of the time)
*spoilers for Ulrich route to those who haven't plaid it*
I don't feel like that's selfish at all. To me he's the only really possible LI, so I obviously SMASHED that no to hell and back. Sorry Tala but I'm really not sorry whatsoever.
And as a gay man the thought of a woman being involved with a man I'm with and therefore being somewhat involved in our relationship is obviously a gigantic "no", so I'm really glad we actually got to choose. When that came up I was already worried we were going to have to be in an open relationship; but as it's IF I'm glad we weren't forced on that one point since it would have definitely made me drop it and would seem counter-intuitive to the whole interactive and choices-based aspect.
I meant the specific words used for genitalia only. Like the words in your example, I personally would feel extremely uncomfortable having to read the words "slit", "bean" and especially "clit" is a big no-no for me.
But if it's not possible to change that, then I guess I'll have to make my PC a cis man. Kind of a bummer but it's not something I'm not used to.
Very excited for the game and also glad to hear this update!
I have one question though: Would it be possible to make it so that words for player genitalia (since it's an erotic game) can be decided by the player too, or would that be too difficult? Because as a trans man I often have the problem of the much-hated word "clit" (ew) coming up in reference to the player's genitalia if they don't have a penis and testicles, when I (as many or probably most other trans men) refer to it as a "dick/cock" since it doesn't cause dysphoria and is more accurate after a certain point in transition and I'd still like to be able to make the game more immersive for myself as a man without testicles without feeling intensely uncomfortable.
If that's not possible I understand but I'd like to get a heads-up, so I know if I have to roleplay as a cis man. Thanks in advance and good luck on further development. :)
Is there anywhere the author posts regular updates on how the writing process is going? I can't see the last time the tumblr account said anything about it (don't have an account and can't make one for some mysterious reason, so it stops me after scrolling for a bit) and there's no new approximate time for when the next update will/should come out.
The plot seems interesting but the MC is infuriatingly dumb in the demo. I'm sure they'll be smarter in the full game (or maybe hope? idk) but the whole thing with the choker was the most obvious thing in the world.
One huge problem though: The pronouns are always female, which made me very confused at first and then very uncomfortable since I'm a man and picked the male option. I also picked the non-binary option afterwards, to see if the pronouns were still female with that one and they were. You should definitely fix that if you want to not make every non-female player extremely uncomfortable when trying the demo.
