Yeah, I get your reasoning and point of view about it being a game and all; it's fine to me, and since the particular kink previously mentioned will be avoidable in the coming updates, I'm satisfied.
I'm eagerly awaiting the next update!
Cheers.
Hi, thanks for the reply. I appreciate it.
I don't think avoiding that particular kink will ruin the sub path or the idea of submission. I don't know if you have ever been in a dom/sub relationship, but submission is not about being forced to do something. The sub is not under the dominant’s coercive control. They are an equal member of the power exchange. You can't label every sub as the same; just because we aren't into this or that doesn't make us any less of a sub. Take Liu for an example; she likes it rough, but if she didn't, would that make her less of a sub? After all, this kind of relationship is based on trust and respect and must be consensual. There are some boundaries that might be respected. but thanks for making it avoidable going forward
as for the dark scene. Yes, I played with some of the settings on my monitor and made it brighter so I could see it. It's just that I prefer darker tones, so the gamma was lower, making it harder to see, but after changing it, I could actually see the scene. Thanks for the heads up; it was 3 in the morning, so I hadn't thought of that.
I am eagerly waiting to see her in her full glory in the next updates.
Thanks for addressing my points and taking the time to reply. Do you have any ETA on the next update?
Hello. I'm enjoying the game so far, and the women are stunning—all of them, but especially Cathy, Octavia, and Olga. I totally love them!
I'm on the sub path and really enjoying it, but could the cum eating be avoided? I'm not really into it; all the other fetishes gave me the option to accept them or not, but that one specifically was forced on me. I wanted to stay on the path, so I just skipped through that part. but I'd like it if it could be avoided if it happens again.
I was really waiting for a scene with Olga, but I was disappointed because I couldn't see anything! That scene was too dark; you could've used some sort of emergency light to at least let me see the scene I was eagerly waiting for.
All in all, the game is great! It's just these two points that bothered me enough to make me come and post a comment.
Keep up the good work.
Hey Frenzin,
That picture is exactly what I had in mind! I understood the clarification on colors and choices as well. I have no more doubts about that.
Okay, so there are NSFW and SFW versions. I'll be getting the NSFW version, of course. :)
I just need to find some free time to get into it properly.
Thank you for your time and all the explanations. May the development journey be smooth and without any major setbacks. This game is a gem and deserves to shine.
Best regards,

Hello again,
25h plus 5–10h with combat and crafting seems like a really nice amount of stuff to do in the game. It's the first time I found an actual lewd rpg and I want it to last as long as possible , especially one that looks that good and has so much potential. :)
Colors
I believe I wasn't very clear about what I meant. I did not want the choices to give me the outcomes; what I wanted was to somehow let me know what archetype the choice was. For example, I want to roleplay a lecher captain, but with only the choices without a way to know which archetype it represents, sometimes it is hard for me because the meaning is lost as English is not my first language. I didn't want hints, outcomes, or anything like that, and I read everything; why would I want to play an RPG if I just wanted to skip the entire text to get to the lewdies? It makes no sense, and there are easier and faster ways to achieve a quick fap, haha. As much as I enjoy the lewd bits, I enjoy the choices, story, and character development.
So, in my resume, I didn't mean colors for choices as indicators of outcomes or hints, but rather as a way to determine what archtype they represent.
It's not a problem if it can't be added; I'll just work harder to understand the meanings of each option. Another option would be to put the archtype name in front of the choices so it was easier to know. It is not a request, merely an idea, as the game is still in development.
Pledging/buying
OK, I got the idea, but where and how do I get the updates after I purchase the game? Another question: I saw a post about an SFW version today. If I buy it today, I won't get any lewdies in it? Are there different versions of the game?
Thanks and have a nice day!

Hello Frenzin,
Game related.
It's great to know that the game will be alive and reactive to my choices. Now I'm even more excited to play!
Does this estimated 25 hours per act have the sidequests included or just the main plotline?
By the way, would it be possible to make the choices have different colors, like the depraved choices being red while the chivalrous ones being blue, for example?
because they sometimes don't make it very explicit what they actually mean or look similar to each other. I believe this would make it easier to keep track of the path I'm following.
Buying/pledging
If I buy the game instead of pledging, how can I get the updates? Will I be charged per update or how does it work?
Is the lewd art archive included in all the tiers?
Thanks for your time,
-D.Hedonist
Good day
Thanks for taking the time to answer my inquiries. I appreciate that. :)
"Keep in mind we're a tiny indie team -- and there's limits to what we can do and how much we can branch the game's outcomes, but our aim is to offer a good mix of gameplay options. For example, talking to a depressed soldier in an attempt to help him resolve his war-induced trauma is an example of a "cosmetic" quest that doesn't impact the world, since it only concerns a single individual. "
I'm well aware of the limitations that might come with being a small indie team. It wasn't my intention to suggest any Witcher level of sidequests or lots of branching paths. If it was possible, it would be amazing with this game! But I'm glad there will be some branching and consequences. One of my fears was it being a total linear story without any input on my side about how to play or what to do. but now I know I will be able to do that, so I'm relieved.
The "cosmetic" term I used for choices was about the quest resolution being the same in the end regardless of the option I chose through the dialog.
I'll use the soldier example you gave. Having an impact on him and shaping how he sees me wouldn't be a cosmetic quest as it has an actual impact, if not on the world itself, then on the individual. A cosmetic one is one in which you finish it and when you return to that person, they act as if you have never met before, despite the fact that you may have saved his life.
No impact on the world or the individual related to the quest with different dialog lines that lead to the same outcome no matter how you act or what you choose. That is cosmetic to me.
So if I see things changing, even if a tiny bit, because of my choices and actions, then it's a plus in my book!
The game is meant to have 3 acts. I hope they are long acts because the game looks so good and has so much potential that I would be disappointed and sad if it was only 3 short acts. I want to experience this world for a long while if possible.
I made up my mind about supporting the game! The question now is, are there any advantages or disadvantages if I choose to buy it instead of pledging on patreon? Is there anything I'd get if I pledged that I wouldn't get if I bought the game?
I'm glad the game is so well documented and I liked your answers; they soothed any doubts about many aspects of the game.

Hello,
I just found out about this game, and it looks amazing! I have some questions before I buy or pledge, though.
1.the choices
Will they be game-relevant or merely cosmetic, as in I want to play a degenerate or a chivalrous guy, but it only changes dialog lines and has no real impact on quest resolutions or character development, such as shaping my MC and how the world reacts to me?
Will the way I resolve the quests have any impact on the story and the world itself, or will it just be a case of being a perv, a killer, or a knight, but it doesn't really matter because it has no effect on anything other than the quest I'm currently taking?
2. female orcs
Apparently, it has been addressed before. The green one is a futa with no variation, and the grey one is a female.
The question is, will there only be two orc girls or maybe more? female ones, to my preference.
3. supported platforms
As of now, there is only a Windows version; I'd like to know if a Linux version is planned, or if it is simply a matter of "if" there is time, interest, and so on.
4. Is the story linear or branching ?
I know there's a main plot, and I'm not referring to it, but it's as if I can choose how I'll reach the end of the story when we get there, by choosing what to do, people to meet, recruit, or romance, or there will be things already set in stone and I won't be able to change them, like being forced to save, kill, or recruit someone to advance the story.
Those would be the main concerns making me refrain from supporting the game. I really want to. The art is amazing, and the idea and plot of the game are really interesting. I've been looking for a lewd RPG like this for a long time, but these concerns must be addressed first.
In any case, I wish you guys all the best and good luck with the project. It really is a gem and has lots of potential!
best regards,
