Beautiful novel so far, really enjoyed reading and watching the scenes unfold.
The fox prince and his kitten make for a really cute pair. Thanks for sharing this with us.
And it is very nice to see some appreciation for a decent belly. ;)
Beautiful new chapter. I love your use of music/sound in this one and the way how our protagonist naturally struggles with some of his past and present experiences, wrestling with the shadows of the past as well as pushing certain parts of those twilight hours between dusk and dawn well into the realm of mere dreaming.
I appreciate the frequent discussions of art and expressions of the joy and passion folks feel for it coming up. And I am afraid I will be stuck with an earworm for a couple of days. ;)
Very interesting start, will keep looking out for how this one continues on. Enjoyed the interaction with Ollie and his dad one on one with the MC, but even more the banter between Ollie and his dad among themselves. ;) Also, this might be just me, but I think Owen looks pretty nice with that belly, so I wouldn't be disappointed if he should learn to embrace it.
Very beautiful game, tells a good story and is rather inclusive regarding it's cast. I was initially sceptical of the card mini games, but was quickly won over. There are various strategies you can go for and getting the most out of your card through clever placement is fun and engaging. The visuals and music in this game really draw you in. The planet truly becomes alive and feeld different during the seasons. Also seeing your character and his friends grow up over the years is a nice touch, too.
I've encountered a few problems with the game mechanics, like early on a lot of skills seem linked to interactions with your friends in the colony. Since it is possible for some characters to perish over the course of the game - even early on. In my case one death effectivly locked me out of a certain skill for the longes time.
Also some of the potential datable characters show up later in the game. I was trying to date one of those later newcomers, but since some of my other - platonic - friends had been around for years, their friendship score was much higher than that of my love interest, which meant that during a dance event (something like Prom) I wasn't able to select my love interest as dance partner, only my two best friends.
I would like to see those things addressed by future patches, because they take a lot of player agency away in what otherwise is an excellent experience.
I would love to see you polish this gem of a game and hopefully keep crafting games that are equally engaging. :)
Having that toggle in the options probably would be the best of both worlds. Given what a flirt Oscar is, it would be sad not to actually see some of what is alured to in action. Besides, I think at the end of the day the horror/trauma/psychological thriller elements are way more graphic and disturbing than anything sexual could be.
Impressive start. The writing is very good, succeeds at painting a good picture of characters, locations and situations alike. I like the delightful clash of mythology/history with lewd passions and desires. There is a lot of substance to the story, which is a rare find in this day and age. ;)
I am looking forward to see what the dev will come up with in terms of visuals. In some cases, they are very much needed, because I am not really familiar with all the animals I've met in the introduction alone. But I am very much intrigued to learn more and will enjoy another helping of the worldbuilding that really sets this work apart from many other projects.
