cool thx man i appreciate i

seen about half of those myself and yeah the ones i have seen are fantastic. i actually left a review in the comments for both of the games i told you about with out of touch just being yesterday and cozy cafe being about a week ago if you wanted my full thoughts on them. dunno how far you are into out of touch but the start is pretty rough honestly but it gets really good if you stick it out for a bit.

and yeah i'll check out pale carnations not super into bdsm but it's not really a turn off for me and i do like male dom and objectification. i haven't seen any of the ones you wrote after eternum so ill put those on my radar. got a week off work so i've just been bingeing this stuff.

cool i might give it shot for the demo at least and if i get hooked the full game. just booting this game up now and got crimson high lined up as well atm but i'll slot that into the list of games i want to try.

been on a bit of a binge of these games lately and just came off the heels of cozy cafe and out of touch.

this is gonna be a bit off topic but i thought your profile pick was an owl till i clicked the notification and saw it up close lol.

and nah you were not coming off too strong or anything it was just me being ocd when i saw something that seemed odd to me.

also slightly off topic genex love is a game i had my eye on but wasn't sure if i should try, do you recommend that? i can't remember from where but i got the impression you can miss content if your not on the ball about it and i hate having to be on the ball or do homework to make sure i don't miss anything but the page it had did looks interesting.

yeah i got the feeling it wasn't a deal breaker or anything and you are right that if they could they would have dialogue for both but it's too much work. but i have been around the block enough times to know it is a whole legal thing about putting incest in.

granted i don't know why itchi and patreon don't use an equal hand for all things like that but i have seen a fair share of them either be deleted from the platform or have to edit the game in such a way that their is enough ambiguity. a lot even do it just to not take any risks at all cause it's an easy addition at the start and cuts off any drama.

most that have issues like that will tend to use an "unofficial" patch that weirdly lines up perfectly since they already have attention on them. 

kind of in the same way you might see react channels on youtube using the legal 10 minutes of a show but still fighting strikes all the time but only for certain properties.

i even took a quick peek on their rules and guidelines for adult content just to be sure yes depicting incest is one of them at least for patreon anyway.

i'm sure the author has no issue if you would rather them not be incest and being able to pick that but that being one of the fetishes they are going for it has to be pretty explicit in the dialog and they can't have it both ways.

all i'm saying is i have yet to see a game where where they use the set your roommate's and landlady's role and not have the dialog be clear it's incest. so going in without those expectations is wishful thinking on your part.

i feel like i'm going a bit overboard with this cause at the end of the day i don't think anyone is truly upset here. just thought it was odd that you would think that meant other wise and wanted to clear that up.

i'm sure you have caught on to this but just to be sure cause you seem to think there is suppose to be a distinction between roommate/landlady and sister/mother. but it's basically code in adult visual novels cause if they try and sell a game with incest things like itchi and patreon will remove their content. it's basically just the universal work around and if seen should just been assumed it's incest.

kinda in the same way an anime might have characters to go to "wacdonalds" for burger and fries. we all know what it really is but it makes it legal distinct enough to get around the drama that comes with it.

i get that's not everyone's cup tea but if you go into it not expecting that your setting your self up for unrealistic expectations.

i understand your not trying to tear this game down over it or anything and i actually haven't played this yet but i plan to soon. but it seems a bit odd that if something looks like a duck and quacks like a duck to be annoyed when it turned out to be a duck.

thx so much i'm looking forward to it

for what it's worth i do love the dark parts and i suppose it does depend on how you read it but i tend to binge stuff like this for hours on end and being kind of mentaly high strung for that long can be a bit exhausting. to be honest i wrapped the arc i was on not too long ago i really liked how it went and that didn't have much levity at all so it might just be that i need to take more breaks lol. 

i got a bit into the next arc that appears to be focused on kieran and sarah if you don't mind do you know when that arc ends? just want to do the arc in one sitting if i can so i don't get stuck on a cliff hanger.

so i'm not technically done yet but i'm at the beginning of chapter 44 so i think i have seen enough to comment on how i'm enjoying it so far.

if i am to try and sum it in just a couple words i actually think this game is great honestly. the start is pretty rough i'm not gonna lie the characters are so emotionally fragile that a stiff breeze could break them down into a crying fit. the descriptions of the main cast felt mostly like a "look at me i'm a rebellious teen i smoke and steal and have this tragic family life that no one understands." and in general felt like the emotional beats were rushed .

the best part about the beginning honestly is the tongue in cheek feel any time CJ's dad shows up. and i'm actually a bit sad that that cheesiness disappears entirely at some point cause it mixed some levity to some of the heavier moments. 

if i were to pin point the big points it gets better at story wise i would say the first good arc was the one focused on jamie and became fantastic around the one focused on leah. the lore of the world is actually really cool and feels like it ties together really well.

it's funny in the sense that as a porn game it's kinda meh with a couple pretty hot still frames but nothing that really speaks to me to much in an erotic sense. but as a just straight story that just happens to have erotic elements attached to it it's actually pretty great.

the characters still feel pretty vulnerable emotionally from start to finish but the later parts feel much more natural and there is good reason for it. while it starts off pretty cheesy over time it actually starts to lean more and more in to an almost Lovecraftian horror feel without the tentacles. 

carpo in particular gave me a very hastur the king in yellow vibe and i'm not sure if that was intentional or not. the back story for each girls parents in every arc are just good stand alone short stories honestly but get even better with how they tie into the main one. i can really appreciate how things can be painted black and one at one point and then later it gets so much more complex that it really makes you think about how you might have reflexively hated someone before .

reading this you can almost see how a writer improves in real time as each chapter gets better and better than the last. so much so that it's hard to even believe it's the same person at the start to where i am now.

to be honest it wouldn't shock me if the author started this either in highschool or fresh out of it with all the stuff that screamed rebellious teen energy and what feels like a fair amount of anime influence with jojo in particular being a stand out. and then as they spent more time as an adult that maturity bled into their writing over time.

this might be a bit incoherent to read as it was mainly me just dumping my thoughts out into this review as they come to me. i'll probably be leaving this for chapters to stack after this arc cause i kinda don't want to get caught in a mid arc cliff hanger.

to anyone reading this and thinking about playing this game i would say its pretty rough at the start but if you stick it out for a couples hours it's actually really freaking good. and with how short the chapters are at the start you might think this is much shorter than it actually is cause somewhere around the 20's to 30's the chapter will frequently be multiple hours long.

and to the author congratz on making make such a great game and the only real advice i have is to try and fit some more levity here and there. obviously it's important to keep a consistent tone at some points but it can be almost mentally exhausting to the reader if there is a constant tension to it.

i won't even try tell you how to fit that in cause i know there so much that goes into writing well from pacing to developing characters, fitting exposition in without it just being an info dump. it was just the feeling i had while reading like i enjoyed everything happening but the good moments like when the main cast was turning the tables or them just getting up to silly antic was so short lived i almost don't even get the chance to breath it in before the tension of danger or drama rears it's head again.

again your doing a great job and i'm excited to see where this goes and i got full confidence i'm gonna enjoy whatever comes next.

nah i get you i was just trying to let you know why that might be the case.

wanted to ask if you touched up some early parts of the game at some point. i played the first big arc around a year or so ago and i don't remember flashes of some shadowy figure that looks like they have animal ears at the very start. i could of just forgotten but i feel like that's new.

just at the very start atm and ill probably give a full thoughts/ review here when i'm done. i was just curious on if you had gone back to touch up older stuff.

a lot of backgrounds are stock images i think you will found most of these anime style porn games will have quite a few overlaps. probably cause these are people with not much cash or time to their names as they make these so they use affordable things like these that are required but are not particularly important to make unique.

just a quick question on how many hours would you say it takes to play the current build? trying to decide if i should jump into this now or wait till it's longer

just thought i would drop a review/ stream of thoughts i had for the game here.

kinda unique in the sense that it's almost more of a visual novel movie/ show more than an interactive game and i think that's more of a plus than a down side honestly. it looks like there was a token effort at the start to make choices that really didn't matter before giving up those not too far in and i kind of appreciate that.

i generally like to experience everything games like these have to offer and i bounce between the various girls but in the more sandbox style ones the author can't always account for what you have seen yet so scenes with the various girls tend to be very isolated from each other with very little cross over. and the ones with choices tend to only effect if your going to miss content or not.

this style cuts out the nonsense of the choice system and the linear style allows the author to tie all the girls stories very closely together. of course this style also lives and dies on how well the author can tell their story and sell their characters cause that's all it's selling and i honestly think they did a fantastic job.

the main plot isn't gonna win any awards for how interesting it is but does a solid job being the frame work for the character interactions and porn. the characters i think are the biggest selling point here the introductions the characters have and how they get involved with the protagonist can feel a bit forced and odd like the "cat" girl getting into him by sitting in his lap and getting him hard and then she is just like "this is now my life goal".

but once they get established just watching them interact is just a joy to watch. all the girls feel unique both visually and in their personalities and just seeing them react to various events and changes in relationship status or clash/ make friends with each other is a lot of fun.

the tone is very slice of life with very little drama or danger and what little there is just shakes up the status quo more than anything. the split between the school life and work feels really odd like it's half adult life and half highschool life and if i were to guess the school was added to make the cast interact with characters they normally wouldn't interact with naturally. 

i like the pacing quite a bit giving just enough time of romance fluff and everyday life for each girl while also keeping the plot going at a good pace. i actually find some of the most interesting thing about romance is how it affects their day to day life and interactions with other people and this game is loaded with that so it scratches that niche itch for me.

it's definitely highlighted in the description but i will add for emphasis this is a highly male dom fetish story. both in and out of the bedroom the male lead makes sure he is very in charge of every situation and in general will act how most dudes imagine their best self being. don't mistake the male dom for being super hard core bdsm stuff even if their is some of that cause the tone is actually extremely wholesome.

i actually think the male dom fetish is criminally under represented in this style of game so it's pretty refreshing to see. i can also see a lot of attention to detail from the author to try and make the girls more real looking by adding things like pores, some rough texture to the shaved pubes area and a bit of meat curtains on the vaginas. but i do think they go over board with the wrinkles/calluses on the knees and elbows cause i am twice their age and i still got smoother skin there than they do. it doesn't ruin it or anything but it's definitely noticeable.

overall it was a great experience and i highly recommend it to anyone reading this. i'm sad i'm all caught up and it will probably be more than a year till i see more as i let the updates stack. cudos to the author cause you did some great work here.

** just a quick edit to mention i do think the girl introduction/ getting more involved get much better from sarah onward. not sure if that is just the author getting better at writing or just having that established cast gives them more room to let the new ones breath for their introductions but i thought i would bring it up regardless.

finish the prologue and it will prompt you to start it.

ahh so on pc you don't need to download all the files then? then that's great

i highly recommend condensing it all into a single file. the more work people need to do to even try the game the less people your going to draw in. people have short attention spans and it's already a bit of an ask for people to spend time on it. there are tons of games where it's just download and launch the new update and when that's your competition your gonna put a lot of people off right out of the gate. josh strife i believe has a good video about this type of thing called the quit moment where it's easy to lose people at the start because they are not invested yet. he does it in the context of MMO's but it's the same idea.

this does look cool and i probably will get around to it but i was already tuned off for the moment cause i don't feel like figuring this out right now .

it can depend on how sensitive you are to things like that but in general it's focus is more on mystery than horror. the scariest thing you will probably see is a shadow zombie getting the drop on you and your character panicking a bit.

or does he ;)

while there was a couple things here and there that could of been better the game was absolutely fantastic. and a one of a kind experience with a compelling plot and fun, well designed and developed characters. the animations were fantastic and hot as hell in the sex scenes. the sandboxish and harem style is a personal fav of mine for adult games like this. it was also incredibly immersive with the survival and exploration aspects and the down time between major event. every character felt like they played an important role in the plot and it would completely change the whole story if they were to disappear. the director was incredibly intimating that made you fear even thinking about her and commanded respect every time she was on screen.

there were a couple thing i think could of been a little better to keep in mind for your new project whatever that might be. while it was in the sand box style of do what you want till the next major plot point it ended up being pretty linear for the most part. and that it's entirely bad and i think it was a smart move in terms of your story telling but i would have liked more optional stuff to work towards if i wanted to. like the house projects could of had additional options like expanding the farm to grow more than one crop at a time or maybe some kind of incense that they could burn weaken the shadows around the house so they would be damaged when you encounter them. these are just some basic ideas i came up with off the top of my head and i'm sure it would take more thought to implement both from a mechanical and story perspective.

the only thing story wise i'm unsure about was what was the ultimate nature of nori and her origins, how did they discover the magic stuff in general, what was their goal with their experiments and what was the end goal for the director. to some extent i think keeping some of it a mystery will allow it to keeps its magic of mystery but these were all things i was curious about and unless i missed it some how i don't think they were answered.

overall this was an incredible experience that i was happy to have. and while i'm not to sure on what the order would be this game makes it in my top 5 adult games of all time. more than anything the things i want most out of any game be it adult in nature or not is for it to be immersive and pull me into the experience and sell me on the fantasy that i am jumping into and you did that with full marks. you deserve all the credit your fans give you and you should be proud of what you made here.

i'm guessing the author is a fan of the game and was inspired by it.

couple hours of content but no where close to where it use to be. some of the story looks to be being completely changed but mostly the same so far.

it's been a bit since i played but i believe you need to level other girls to progress the story. the game has a sort of choke point system so the game can know you have seen certain events before moving onto new ones. so lucy can say refence luna in a event for lucy because it knows you have met her by now. so when you see "wait a bit" that's what it is.

it's been awhile and while i know your hard at work would you mind giving out another update mabey not say how long it would take but a percentage of how close you are to done

if you don't mind me asking is this game going to have a similar family situation as the last game if your know what i mean or are your trying something different with this one? again waiting on enough updates but i am looking forward to it and i'm curious.

huge fan of your other game and i can't wait to jump into this but i'm going to wait so some updates can build up and i can play for a good long time on a first run so i can get fully immersed in the game. just wanted to drop a comment to let you know your doing a great job and the teasers look great so far.

unlikely to be any second cause his last post a month ago said he would give a weeks notice before it comes out. but if the sneak peak shots he has show is any clue the quality of content is going to spike quite a bit.

thx man

while i am incredibly hype for the end of this game, do you know when we can hear more about eternum? maybe a summery of some kind? i figured this game had only 1 or 2 more updates so i've been interested in what you will be doing next. any fetishes  in particular that your willing to share? are we getting the same tags as this one? less tags? more tags? i'll take anything your willing to share lol.

so can i get a bit of help? i'm suppose to look for something in the moms room but nothing is showing up. my first guess is the dildo but i'm pretty sure i already took that for the mom quest line so i dunno what i'm suppose to do here.(for the red witch quest)

if i remember right then you picked the right option for that scene and that's why you can't repeat it. the idea is to get her to walk out with a small towel and i'm pretty sure if you take them all then she just won't walk out and you need to repeat the scene.

anyone know what song plays on the main menu?

you just have to progress the main events and it will happen on it's own. but if it helps i get stuck for a bit cause i didn't see a scene to progress the story cause i had no reason to do it normally. when you see enough of rin's events go to the dorm and then just walk back home.

sorry i'm not trying to be rude and ya seeing them side by side like that i can see the different facial features but you got to admit that they almost look like they could be sister and one of the images in the side even has her in an outfit i think that the other character wears or is at least very similar. honestly when i first saw her imagine i didn't really see it until i saw her with that sweater and shorts.

sorry i have't given this game a try yet but that one red head in the side images has a shocking resemblance to a girl in "my new family" is that a stock model for this engine or is there a creator of that model that people pay for or is it just pure coincidence.

not gonna lie i was pleasantly surprised with this game. at the start i just kind of liked the quirky personalities of the characters but they start to get a little boring once you get into your routine and they interact with each other far less. but then all the "happy" stuff started and i love every scene of it that happens and it always manages to catch me when i lower my guard and don't expect it. and after that i started noticing how creepy how he is acting with his students like blackmailing them with pictures or stalking them and saying stuff like you love me don't you while basically forcing himself on them. but then somehow it just works out for him kind of like world is suppose to be that way. it's so fucked up and i'm loving it.

i mean there are lots of games in a similar vein on this site that play with with this more sandbox like style and almost all of them don't use a route system. not to mention that the harem route seems to be the required way to play the game. i'm not saying he needs to use my idea just that when you see what your missing get waved in your face it's a feels bad kind of like in demon souls dieing will half your health until you restore yourself vs dark souls 3 where you gain a larger a health pool over your regular one. even if the smaller pool in the expected health pool for both games the feeling the player gets from each one is important. the point of just not showing the trait choices when you don't have them is the important one. the rest of the idea was just an idea i had that i thought might improve it but it's up to the author to decide what he wants to pick and choose from what i said to build what kind of vision he wants. i understand i'm not the creator here and that he is but the best thing we can do as people playing it is give the best feedback to them that we feel  we can to help him make a better game.

??

so i finished the current version and wanted to give my thoughts.

of all the porn games i've played so far which is a fair amount this one definitely knocks it out of the park in terms of both story and comedy and is the best at those by far. because this is for the most part a linear story it was actually incredibly important that your keeping your readers engaged pretty consistently. and i found that like 90% of the time i was either horny, laughing or intrigued so i would say you did a pretty good job. there is definitely room to improve cause i feel like some of the plot starts to fall apart if i think about it too deeply but it isn't super apparent at first glace any way. and while the gags are amazing and i love them i also know i have laughed harder at jokes in a similar vein before. it's hard for me to point at anything in particular that you need to work on other than to take your already good writing and make it into amazing writing which i imagine doesn't help very much.

i can feel the passion you put into this and it shows so i hope you can keep that passion going and continue the make great work both on the rest of this and any future projects you make.

ps* just as a side note i'm curious if those 2 girls in the back of the lingerie store when you first enter are an easter egg to other porn games?
