I am also having the same issue. I bought the book from my FLGS but it didn't come with the digital items.

You can eat monsters that you defeat :)

Both great ideas! I am planning adding different oral variations, as well as absorption and ass vore. Are there others you're interested in?

Working on update today!

Glad you enjoyed it! Still working on the other characters and adding more detail! Posting an update today actually. I'll look into that bug as well. I have a hunch of what that could be.

Hi! It is going well. I am working on improving the AI, as well as adding ways to hide from enemies. I am also working on building out more story elements and ways to beat the game!

I think that's a good idea! You can flirt with enemies, so I could add specific interactions for when they have prey inside them.

Yeah bugs in code. I'll check the omens I have a guess what that might be.  Blocking is kind of complicated, as I basically store a list of entities blocking the door and remove them from the list when that entity is satisfied. Unfortunately, there are weird cases where an event can make you move to a different room, but the doors are still blocked because the original room had a block that wasn't satisfied, which now you can't complete. unblocking everything if a player is forced to move would probably do the trick.

I do plan on adding more content to endgames since that's probably what most people will want to experience! I like the idea of having a mini-dungeon of the pred's insides. That is most likely what I'll do. Good point on willing content. I do plan on expanding the use of companions, possibly using them to feed enemies as a way to escape, feeding yourself to them, or eating them for health regen. The shop is the only friendly NPC that just exists in the rooms, but I do plan on that not being the case.

Regarding haunts, my goal is to have omens increase the chances that you'll encounter monsters, which will basically act as the haunt. I like the idea of the monsters being able to chase the player, with events and other interactions essentially slowing you down. A higher speed stat will make monsters move toward you at a slower rate. I could make certain monsters only spawn with a certain number of omens, giving me a way to add more difficulty and reducing the chances of someone starting a game and just getting one-shot by something. Because the dice are zero-based, it's always possible to be obliterated at any point. Companions could help with that, functioning as saving throws.

Different monsters could have different abilities, like a random chance to teleport, add some global debuff, rearrange rooms, or spawn mini-enemies for you to fight. I can imagine a friendly monster, maybe one that likes to play games, but if you lose, they eat you. Maybe have ones that give you time constraints: Find x item in x amount of passages or I'll come to find you and eat you.

Currently, fighting allows you to attack (might), run (speed), or give up. I think it'd be fun to have an action for each stat, something like:

Attack (might roll): this would also apply to defending. Some monsters fight with sanity.

Run (speed roll): if you run away, they still stay on the map and can chase you.

Flirt (knowledge roll): leads to them being friendly to you, allowing you to feed them, eat them, or even have sex perhaps? Would only apply to sentient monsters, although it would be funny for a player to try to flirt with a plant monster or something like that.

Beg (sanity roll): Less confident on this one... basically, begging for them not to eat you. could add to the unwilling experience. If you succeed then they become friendly. Obviously wouldn't work for monsters like Wolfs.

Another change I want to make is have restarting be less of losing progress. Most likely will be as if you are a new person, allowing you to pick up your previous self's stuff. Gives opportunities for monsters to have more than one meal, which I think could be really fun.

I really really appreciate your feedback! I love the idea of limiting the number of omens that can be played per round, otherwise, the player gets too powerful pretty quickly.  

I had an idea for having omens to increase the chances of monster encounters, but I also like the idea of having monsters that can chase you.  Currently, monster encounters only occur in a Pokemon battle style, where you choose to use items, attack, give up, or escape. Maybe if you escape, an icon can be placed in that room and they can roam around, as well as chase.

Currently, there's also no benefit in fighting monsters. They don't drop items as there are already a ton of ways to get items. Perhaps having them block your path or chase you is a good way to incentivize fighting when you can. Otherwise, you'd just get overrun by monsters. That can be fun in itself as well.

The board game was played with multiple players, so a lot more could happen in a single round and it'd take a lot longer to explore the house. I think that one of the weaknesses here is that you can explore the house extremely quickly, but I think omens can help with that, as the more omens there are, the closer the endgame should be.

I love the idea of limiting items, gives the player more choices and hard decisions. I do plan on some items/omens having consequences if stolen/dropped. Currently, omens give you buffs when you have them, but they should debuff when dropped. Easy way to handle that would be if you have too many items, you're too heavy to walk.

I love the idea of mini-dungeons! I definitely want to give the player more choices with vore interactions. I also want to give the option to offer companions rather than themselves, sort of functioning as a saving throw or an extra life if they want it. Currently, the only vore options are losing a battle or giving up. Having the player continue is a great idea. They can technically go back in time, but that's not very intuitive. Perhaps it could be part of the world somehow, like part of the mansion's curse makes you relive that night. Or maybe it's like you're another person... you find a monster with a massive gut and the items that they had. 

Currently, some monsters only appear when you fail a roll on certain events. Considering that they are one of the core interactions, that probably needs to change, especially if players are trying to find certain monsters. Almost everything is random in the game, which does make it difficult to strategize.  Maybe it'd make sense if some monsters only appeared on certain floors, adding more variety. Demons appearing in the crypt and pentagram rooms, zombie girls in the graveyard, archangels in the chapel... that kind of thing.

I agree with you on conflicting themes, and I feel that is a big issue currently. Part of this project was seeing if I could implement one of my favorite games in a unique way, and a lot of the theme in the original is heavily gross horror. Some of it works well! Walls made of flesh, slime, spiders, wolfs, etc... can easily be made erotic. Other elements... not so much (blood, madman, creepy puppets, creepy girls, gore, etc..). Having items that can be used for erotic purposes is one thing I want to add. It's definitely a hard balance, as I think some vore scenarios can be fun horror, such as a wolf or snake that simply doesn't care, while others could be more nuanced, like lamias, demons, slimes, etc...

I think one of the big steps I have to do now is make this into its own coherent game.  I think the mechanics of the game show promise and just need some tweaking, and making it feel like one theme rather than two will be a big focus.

Again I really appreciate the feedback. It's really easy to focus on coding a game and testing it so many times that you're no longer sure if it's fun or not.

By the way, during your playthrough, did you run into any bugs?

Thank you! I'm pretty happy with it so far 😊. If you have any suggestions let me know! I have a good list of things i want to add to make it richer and more fun, but i think the core gameplay is there.

Agreed 100%! That's something I am working on as well as adding more length to the story
