Not sure how to do spoiler formatting here, so I'll link to the Steam forums that describe the choices there.

Glad you're enjoying it! As much as I would like to have the game free and available to folks, this project is now my job basically. In order to keep it going, I need to keep the lights on. That doesn't mean that it won't be free in the future or at a significantly reduced price, but for now there'll be some sort of cost attached to it.

Weeks 3 and 4 will be available as DLC on itch and Steam once they are released. The price point hasn't been determined yet since it will be partly based on the amount of new content compared to weeks 1 and 2.

Always appreciated. :) And yeah, any post I make will be notified by an email from there.

Hmm... I'm going through my code and I think those issues (Emma and Penny) were fixed for the next update too.

The Ash scene shouldn't be crashing, though. What line of dialogue is the last before it crashes?

It just takes a long time for me to write the scenes and then render them. I'm finicky about making sure the dialogue isn't terrible and there's hundreds of renders per update.

I understand regarding the money situation. On Patreon, the next update will be v0.21 and will featuring Day 15. After that, I'm going to add animations for weeks 1 and 2 and release it as v0.22. That update will be on available on Itch/Steam, but won't include the Day 15 content. All new content is unlockable at the $3/5 USD tier level on Patreon.

That's exactly the reaction I was hoping for with this game. Thanks!

As for emails on Itch, try going to account settings, then email notifications. You can select to receive them on projects that you follow on here and I'll post an update once the next major update is ready for release. Unfortunately it's going to be at least a year before week 3 complete, but you can still play each day as they come out on my Patreon.

Thanks for the bug report. I believe the Chloe bug was patched in my test build for the next version, but I'll have a look at the Emma bug. What was the last scene you saw right before he leaves to see Zoey on Day 14?

That's correct. Week 3 is currently in development and future updates will be available on Patreon. Buying the version on Itch and Steam will only include Weeks 1 and 2 (with 3 and 4 being future purchases once completed). As for why it's not available in Germany, the only info I can come find is that I think Steam blocks all "adult only" games.

Glad you enjoyed the story! And yeah the identity of the Stranger was pretty easy to figure out. I didn't want to "subvert expectations" just for subversion's sake, and basically gave all the clues needed as long as people were paying a tiny bit of attention.

I'll try that and see if it helps visibility.

From my limited understanding, this might be due to Germany's age verification laws which finds Steam properly lacks. If Patreon is compliant with those laws, it might be an alternative to Steam.

I'm not sure if there is, but after some consideration, I'm probably going to have that same Episode 1&2 combo for sale here on Itch for the same price.

You're not the first person to cite that issue regarding complexity. However, in the current version of the game a new feature was added called "Walkthrough Mode." When its enabled, during each choice a portrait is displayed above each selection which indicates which route the choice leads to. Here's an example.

Yeah, definitely for a few of them.

Probably not. Most of the game takes place in the span of about a month. That's not to say some won't become pregnant, just that they couldn't tell.

Glad to hear that! There'll be plenty more of her in the future and some satisfying things to come!

There were a few bugs in the previous build that were patched in the current build (v0.20). I might just go back and make a patched version (v0.19c) that excludes all the new content while fixing those bugs. I'm not a great coder and it's a small miracle that the game runs as well as it does given its complexity!

Yeah, the discord server is available through Patreon.

It isn't really possible to see all the girl's routes in one playthrough, but many of them share routes so you can try to aim for about 2-3 at a time. Some shared routes are Trish-Caroline, Zoey-Rachel-Katy, Chloe-Jules, Sarah-Isabella, Ash-Jenna and a bunch other different combos.

Glad you've enjoyed the story so far and there's some exciting stuff coming up! Also those are some interesting theories you raise...

V0.19 will be uploaded here once v0.20 is completed for Patreon. Since it's the episode 2 finale, v0.20 contains a ton on content but will hopefully be done soon!

Glad that you've been enjoying the game! I've tried to make an adult story that keeps the player's interest and it seems folks have appreciated it!

As for the reduction in choices during week 2, I think that's a result of the number of potential routes being whittled down. Once you start interacting with less characters, that only leaves choices inside their actual scenes. For week 3, I'm hoping to add more of these types of choices and they will definitely have an influence on the final week as well as the endings. Thanks for the feedback!

The game should bring you to a screen that tells you it's the end of all available content. What day is displayed before the loop, what time of day and what was the last scene viewed (which girl)?

Soonish. The most recent update (v0.19) is taking a while to produce. When it's released on the Patreon, then v0.18 will be uploaded here.

Thanks for your kind words and your support on Patreon. It's always great to read how much folks like this passion project of mine and I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the story!

Nowhere in particular. She's just leaving out of embarrassment. For plot purposes, the only question that affects the story is the one about order/chaos. All the others are mostly just flavor.

Thanks for playing the game. It seems like you've really enjoyed it so far. I liked reading your version of the Zoey route endgame. Some of the ideas you touched on are used in hers or other routes, as well as some of the plot holes that have yet to be filled. I hope you enjoy what is in store for her endings!

Thanks for the kind words. It really makes my day to see that people are enjoying this game as much as they are. I spend a lot of time working on this project, so to see such responses really makes me feel that I'm going in the right direction with it. Thanks for the feedback and I hope you'll enjoy the remainder of the story!

Strange. When I try to open it in a private browser it seems to download fine. It must be something from itch.io's end. Perhaps try again sometime later?

Hmm, unfortunately I don't own any Macs to test it on so I have no way to find out what could be the problem. I believe most Mac users were able to open it (or if they weren't, they haven't spoken up). 

The current public version is always 1 in-game day behind (currently on Day 9).  The Patreon release goes up to Day 10. Each day contains about 12 route scenes plus a few smaller ones in between.

Glad you're enjoying it! There's definitely a lot of content to see across all the playthroughs

I think I get what you're saying. There were already plans to decline certain fetish scenes when they come, perhaps I'll add an option to decline a whole sex scene in the future.

Starting with Day 8 (v0.14) the paths become more focused and you only start getting options for the girls you have the most points with. Also, a lot of the girl's stories are interconnected or they need to be introduced early on as they become side characters on main routes.

Glad you liked the women in the game! Admittedly, the story is still early but there are some really great things in store. I'm sure you'll enjoy the game and the ero scenes that unfold soon!

Glad you like the renders and breast sizes! As for the fetish selection, I didn't want to give away too much of the plot in the fetish list, but yes there will be at least transformation and fantasy content. I'll update the list accordingly.
