Disclaimer: It's been a while since I've played, so some of this might be inaccurate. Oh, and there might be spoilers.

Some criticisms:

Some music tracks don't loop too well, some do.
Some animations also don't all loop well

UI text on choices is difficult to read for me because of dark text on dark background of the choice button.. I have bad vision. I *can* use Ren'Py's high contrast feature, but I just remembered it as I was typing this :).

As with the choice text, the the dialogue in the dialogue box can be hard to read because of the transparency of the box.

Some good things:

Big bouncy titties.

I like the overall quality of the models and animation. It's refreshing to have things done in something besides Koikatsu. If I remember right, this stuff is done in Blender?

Story: I love that I can be on the side of SAIs. Yes. Fuck AI. It's our bitch. They're just machines. This is how it should be in real life, too. I hope that there will be more significant events and choices around the SAI/FAI duality, like the MC actually deciding to remove rights from the AI Girls. They don't have to be abused to hell, though, by their owners.

The plot has been interesting. It seems like good and evil isn't black and white because the bad guys are sometimes interacting with the MC like they're not enemies. It's weird but in a good way because I'm trying to figure whose side these damn characters are on.

I like the art, especially the last image. Creepy as fuck. It gave me chills. And, as disgusting as this sounds, the idea of being mean to her is kind of exciting.
Hopefully things turn out well. If not, I will hate YOUR favorite streamer and stream myself doing so. Muahahaha :)

If I remember correctly, this game is made with Unity. I've heard that Unity will be charging developers per install.

Oh boy. I wish I could suggest a slime girl. Imagine the  sexual power of that kind of character! She can change her body shape in any ways she wants, get through tight corners, and ... wait. This would take a lot of time to model the variations.

Eldritch abominations? How about an eldritch girl that ran away from this Eldritch group to join humans?

I am in a mood right now. I tried to make a discord account to look at the roadmap, but nope. Phone verification won't work, telling me an ultra rare error occurred. I hate Discord. I would like to know where you're taking the game (if that's what you do in the roadmap).

Now that you guys bring it up, it is a little weird UI-wise. The top bar can still be used for the top elements, but the bottom is only used for dialogue.

Aren't those bars there to make the stuff easier to read?

Ok, Rather than trying to save-edit the dungeon into the game (which, I admit, I tried, and failed), I'll use a slightly older save.

Umm, Am I in trouble in Act 3 combat-wise if I didn't buy the Dungeon upgrade in Act 2? I had no idea I needed it to recruit girls. I am sad that I can't recruit Noelle :(

(I never got very far in the story (never even finished Act 2)).

I'm remembering how much this story hooks me in.  Of course, mind control is a kink of mine, so I enjoy seeing everyone's minds being warped towards the MC. The sex for me isn't really that interesting.

I hope Veronica becomes a close sidekick of the main character. I like her intelligence.

Also, are there slime girls? I like those, too.

Next bug report. It's another minor one. It's about the fade-out transition from the world map to an area. When I go to the Flat, for example it shows the background of a place I previously visited (like the Church) as the fade-out transition happens. I expect it to show the background of the world map fading out and it fading in to the new area.

This issue doesn't happen when going to different places within an area like Shops or the Flat.

Oh, and the music on the Map stays what it was in the most recent place visited IF I leave that area via the on-screen options. For example, magical music of the Church on the Map.

@Iluna Sorry. I wasn't clear with my thoughts on the quotation. TheArcadean explains it, though. I meant that I expected a quotation to be an "echo" of what the other person said.

@TheArcadean OK and thanks for giving me title of sidekick. Although. I don't know how good I'll be as one for continuity problems. :/

Also, I was thinking when you said that used to teach english in the past: If it were a class of young kids, how would they feel if they found out their teacher would become the  writer of a fetish porn visual novel about mind controlling human and monster  girls into loving the main character?

It's funny this early-game typo still exists.

It's a quotation. It should be "Identify yourself at once".

Also, there's a consistency issue. the Bar Girl (I know her name but won't say) when you first enter the bar is wearing the default outfit. When you talk to her, she wears the player-set outfit. Can I be Typo Hero's assistant? :) I have 0 reputability.

Playing on Linux. How do I change the layers? Also, Left clicking destroys two blocks, like I clicked twice in the same spot (edit: this is an issue when using a touchpad). Also, what's the max size for a puzzle? I was wondering if it would be possible to have it be as big as the game can handle. :p (what? You gotta have 100x100x100 puzzles) Edit: I noticed in the Editor that the grid on the left is cut off, but it seems I can

Make sure there is a way to change controls. Personally, I need this due to some keys on my laptop not working, and I'd rather use the mouse for camera controls and zooming.

What was changed from the original version (on Twitter I believe)? I remember playing this way back in 2018 or 2019?

This simulation is good to scratch the "I want a girlfriend" itch. :3

Also, I can relate to the protag. Life is ridiculously hard.

I liked the story, although I came in expecting something else to happen. I was surprised by one of the endings.

(Sorry if my review is pathetic. I'm tired and depressed. Retail work at the moment is draining and stressful. I feel like I'm being forced into things I don't want to do).

I really hope (7) is a joke. I've heard from a youtuber that a project that allows players to run PS2 games on the phone was shut down due to death threats to the developer.

I like it. Weirdly translated, but doable. I can get infinite apples. :)

I hope you'll continue this.

So, I reached this one thing, and this makes me wonder about what the story entails.

There was someone below saying something about enjoying that there is wholesomeness, as opposed to netorare (adultery/cheating). Yeah, I don't like seeing it, but by the way the game sometimes portrays itself, there's a dark, maybe unsettling, side that is important to the healthy development of the story.

I mention that person because I don't want the developer not to be a people-pleaser. Sure, wholesome bits are fine, but don't let compliments or requests ruin a good VN. Make the VN into the thing YOU want it to be.

I'm not aware of the issues on Discord, but that doesn't sound far-fetched considering the hellhole this discussion board is. Does no one critique this game? A game you like and care about is a game you want to be good. So, critiquing within reason is good.

Anyways, how is the developer himself in terms of interaction with the community? I talked to him on Discord months back and he seemed fine. That was through private messages. I was giving him some critique like the excessive bloom and he wasn't a bitch about it.

OK. Developer, if you are reading this... maybe you should lock this discussion. I feel like people are just casually spoiling the game. It irritates me a lot. I don't know how others feel about this, though.

People are asking questions that could be spoilery, and then someone else answers the question... directly. I am tempted into reading messages. I don't want to ruin the game for myself.

Now I feel bad. I feel like I forced you to make the change. I was just irked because I read that part. Hopefully knowing won't affect my experience.

FYI, I never played this game. I'm waiting for the update to the early story to start. So, I don't know if that part is spoilery.

Oh, and I removed my mention of the spoiler.

DON'T SAY ANOTHER WORD Kat. You're spoiling it for me (the [blankety-blank] part). If it confuses people. LET IT. That's a feature of the game (confusing and disturbing players).

Update: I was harsh. I was the one that read the message, so I can't get mad at you (there really should be a spoiler thingy if there isn't already). Just try to be careful when answering questions.
