I appreciated this one, the story is good. It lets the player pick parts of the 2 main character's reactions to things so you can sortof set the power dynamics between them yourself which was neat.

Where it fell down for me was that I didn't find the art very attractive. But if you could somehow have more conventionally appealing, developed art for this game it'd be easy to get traction I think due to the quality of the story and the well explored kinks and mechanics.

I'd also suggest going full lore nerd with future game descriptions. Your condensing of the plot to: "The basic story is that an Elf girl in distress ends up knocking on the door of a minotaur." is totally true, but a brief description of the characters, their plights/motivations would've pulled me in better especially because in game your story was developed enough to stand up to that.

In terms of gameplay feedback I'd request:

1. giving me more save file options. Unless I saw it wrong I only had 5 which is too few for this game's many good story choices.

2. Alter some of the text colouring, (the log text for me is grey on a grey background), and

3. A few typos got through

Otherwise I think you've done a really good job! For a first game this is seriously great work! Looking forward to what you'll do next.

In a future game if you do more in this same genre/kink I would like an option for a more mental battle with temptation and corruption with less force/imprisonment involved? But that's completely personal, and maybe my choices just didn't lead to that path of game. (I got the true ending)

Thanks for the game!

Your welcome! and thanks for the input!

I had a lot of fun making this one. But  I stretched myself a little too thin.  Doing the art/story/and music caused certain things to end up as sub par.

I've considered outsourcing art to other artists in  future projects but I have concerns about relying on other people for such an important part of the game. If I get enough patreon support to hire someone on as a full time artist (that I could trust) that would be pretty cool. But if not,  I'm going to have to take some time and improve my own skills.  (I've actually already ordered some books on anatomy drawing lol).

I will need someone very dedicated/be dedicated myself for my next project which is planned to be HUGE lol.

But anyways, I'm glad you liked the game. Positive encouragement is much appreciated.

Its rough around the edges, but it got soul!  I can already see great improvement in drawings from Cliffside screenshots.
In terms of writing i cant really judge it,  since i lack any expertise in this field,  but i enjoyed reading this one.
Lastly, i think the game part was executed rather good, having different options for five endings is quite a lot for the first project.

10 nostalgia points out of 10! Blast from them past! 
I hope you will keep your Flash Era art style )
