Hey, that was a very promising start! All the characters are great, the script is very well written despite some grammatical errors, visually it looks fantastic, the humor is well done and the genuine character moments hit well, Serahs little moment was really nice. Also wasn't expecting to like Jace as much as I do but he's great, and pretty cute. Kinda giving queer vibes (maybe even transmasc?), and I would be interested in an optional LI path with him. But im aware most people dont come here for that kind of content, and I'll probably like whatever direction you go with even if it is purely friendly. All in all, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one, you did a great job with this first part!

is it really that hard to make an adult visual novel about.... adults? Gross. A shame too cause the adult characters look decent and the writing style is fine.

Loved this one, really hope to see more. I posted a review with most of the praise, so heres a couple of suggestions:

For Eloise: Breeding kinks are very much a mental thing, so the dirty talk can be more than half of the fun. Having the mc engage more with the talk would be what someone like eloise would enjoy. I'd also love to see her voyeuristic side explored more.

For Serah: I love the inclusion of the collar and the discussion of consent in free use relationships, but it would be even better if it was actually present in game when you interact with her around the house, cause now it kinda seems like you're violating the 1 rule you've set. It'd also be nice if you could interrupt her musical sessions, like during that one scene.

Besides that I think you're totally on the right track, so I trust in the development to expand on everything great here.

Thats great to hear, hope you're still enjoying the process

Hey, great avn so far, but im on day 4 and none of the animations are loading, tried reinstalling but still have the same problem. anyone else experienced this

Any chance of continuing this game, or starting a new project? Not usually into mind control stuff, but I love the praise/degrade aspect, not enough proper maledom games have that

Ehhh the constant use of fag, talking about how they shouldnt think about it since its illegal. He's definitely not the worst type by any means, he thinks his friend is gay yet he's still very nice and supportive, even loving to them. It's just a weird amount of implicit homophobia, which is a real thing even among generally good people because of social conditioning, the thing that makes it weird is that CJ sorta seems immune to social conditioning in most other ways. Also, he looks like the queerest dude alive so there is a bit of projecting there. Again, its not terrible, just a bit unnecessary in my opinion. It could even have been a really fun dynamic for him to think Jamie is gay, and be overly supportive about it, while everyone else knows the truth. I'd argue you'd get better jokes out of that than just the constant "don't be a fag".

 Only going into it this deep because the game is great tho, most other avns never touch the subject or are frequently way worse about it. The only one in my memory that did an A+ job on it is realm invader, highly recommend it!

I have to say its really funny for all the characters to keep talking about cjs height, only to find out he's more than an inch shorter than me.  He aint beating my twink allegations 

Whats kinda less funny is the CONSTANT homophobia from CJ. It feels out of character too, for such a nice, empathetic, dumb guy. 

Hey, just read your July post,  I just want to say that this game has been an absolute joy to play, there is so much to love. The characters are really well written, the humor is fantastic, the effort into animation and editing is outstanding. As a queer person, I love how you handle and present the queer aspects of the game,  Noelles coming out was great, and Ashley feels like such a sincerely written character. I really hope your situation improves, but I want to say that as someone who's had similar shit, you're dealing with it like a much stronger person. Keep being awesome, and hope to see more from you!

I don't think I've ever liked the characters of an avn  so much,  I really really hope this gets continued, because my only complaint is how short it was, and how little time we got to spend with all of them. 

Damn, just finished the current content and I've gotta say, its instantly one of the greats. It seems like the development is taking quite some time, but considering the nearly ridiculous quality, that makes complete sense.

And I do mean quality, on all fronts. The artstyle is very well done, character design is great, but it's the writing and charm that make it a gem. Dialogue is well written, jokes (both in character and more physical/visual comedy) get consistent chuckles, and the story is actually quite intriguing. Elements like the ghost hunting segment, that take quite a bit of commitment to a certain tone, are also done really well, and add a lot to the games identity. The treatment of sexuality, identity and morality is also something that can really hamper my enjoyment of a vn, wether it is disrespectful or borderline sociopathic, as can be seen in a lot of adult vn's, but this game handles it really well. Obviously it differs for the slave route, I've been playing as mr nice guy mostly, but still its nice to get characters with actual moral convictions, who have their own wants and desires.

All in all, a 9/10, and only not a 10 because there's still so much I want to see. A gold star to the developer from me, and I'll be keeping my eye on this.
