itch.io

he left a patreon update in the last week. plus im friends with the dude. im sure

game is not dead, dev is just a perfectionist and is very busy

Hi guys! Just wanted to say hi to the new itch.io friends! When the game first released, I noticed there wasn't much activity and thought it was just due to it being a new game. However, upon inspection from an itch.io user, he recommended I email the website support, thinking it was shadowbanned. Upon a response, the page was put into searches again, and I started to receive activity again.

The game first released in September. Here's the stats from when it released vs it being listed after I sent an email;

According to the email I received, sometimes newer games get indexed, and I believe it was due to either multiple false reports due to the content of my game, or due to the simple fact my first project is paid. Either way, the game is finally appearing for people and on search, so yay! Welcome friends!

I mostly focus on putting updates through our Patreon due to me not really understanding how this site works, and not wanting to mistakenly get myself shadowbanned again, so feel free to join the Patreon or our Discord for updates! Most general updates for the game are public, with some exclusive content for all members (including free members), and more exclusive content as the tiers go higher. I mostly just look forward to seeing you all join, seeing the community grow, and giving people more to be excited about!

One final thing, if anyone has any tips on how to make the page more appealing, please feel free to let me know. I'm still new to this site and would love to do what I can to make the page more presentable! I would love to see you guys on the Discord too- there's lots to talk about!

Thanks for stopping by,

Hey my dude! Very much appreciated the support and I'm glad you enjoyed! Hoping to keep you enjoying it as the game goes on!

When it comes to the trans characters, there has been a lot of false information and lies spread about how many characters are trans. If you don't like trans characters, that's fine,  but please stop spreading misinformation.

The only trans girls are Harper (the girl who works with Haru at the cafe) and Jenny (the sister of the bookstore worker- Jenny hasn't appeared yet). Both are side characters, and you can easily avoid them. And, yes, they are not the type of "optional" trans where you can choose between them being a boy and a girl- this is because of numerous reasons, including the render and script differences not being worth the extra work for side characters. Like I said; I get that trans girls aren't for everyone. That's why we made them avoidable, and mentioned that within the first scene.

Even though the trans girls are avoidable romance and sex wise, they will still exist within the confines of the story. Harper will still be in a class with MC and work with Haru, and Jenny will still have her positions. They work exactly like every other character you're not interested in; you can reject them flat out. Again, I understand this isn't for everyone, which is why I give more than one chance to reject the trans girls. However, I don't like misinformation being spread about the context of the game.

Thanks!

anything mentioned under "definitely won't include" is the only stuff out of the question. While the game isn't planned to end as a harem, we have no plans to put in a crossroad anytime soon, so at the moment there won't be dire consequences to your actions :)

anything is possible ;)

definitely group, don't know about 1 on 1 lesbian interactions but maybe.

future tags are plentiful but include

Futa/ Trans (optional)

Anal

Milf

Maledom

Romance

(potentially) combat

Group/ MFF (optional)

Netori (MC steals someones girlfriend) (avoidable)

these are just off the top of my head.

definitely wont include:

Bestiality

L*li

anything sexually involving death or blood

scat

gay (depending on your definition of gay i guess lmao. no male on cis male)

NTR for mc
