Please post any feedback, features you would like to see, non-technical issues etc etc you had with the game here!

I have hit an infinite loading screen after the scene with the swimming coach

other than that very happy with it so far I love the comedy of it and the sex is hot good work boss

The game is very interesting and I'm looking forward to how it goes after that, especially for those sexy sexy scenes. I'll also add the atmosphere is great. That said, there's a visible lack of polish:

1)There's a certain lack of responsiveness to what the player does: for exemple if you interact with your bed during the afternoon/night Elliot will comment he just woke, Emil is ALWAYS visible in the shower. 

2)Some model's eyetracking just isn't there: Francesca and Emil are blankly staring in the distance where you get close to them.

3)There's the issue that there's options there for stuff that hasn't been implemented: buttons for the elevator to go places that can't be accessed, mechanics during the lesson that do nothing, etc. At least for the purposes of the first day, consider hiding those because they can be misconstrued for bugs.
4)The second ending screen where you refer to chapter 1 probably should be removed or replaced by info on the second chapter. Same goes for the initial message "I would advise not getting invested in this work" which uh... is probably superfluous.

5)There's a bug with the CG system where only the last CG used will be available if you quit the game and go back in.

Also please consider adding remapping keybinds. It 100% shouldn't be a priority but it's a nice QoL improvement.

Was wondering where that last scene in the gallery was, but then found it. The attic genuinely scared the shit out of me lol, great work overall as well

Hello, I am heterosexual man, here to give thoughts on Episode 1:

  • Very good ladies, Francesca best and I hope we get a secret for S Ranking all 3 of her lessons
  • Love the Aesthetic, great style
  • Enjoyable Comedy
  • Fun to explore Mansion, wish it had some form of hidden collectibles to encourage combing the rooms
  • The Diary should be accessible at the start of the game, since I got lost during the Demo and only realised in the Episode 1 that there's more than just Hallway, Bathroom, Bedroom
  • The mechanics and workings of the lesson minigame weren't explained before I interacted with the start of it, wish it had an interface beforehand like the Swimming Minigame
  • I ain't personally vested in Emil, due to the aforementioned heterosexuality, but I do love the personality and interactions he has outside of the sex stuff, which is a good indicator of the quality of his character in a game like this. Looking forward to seeing more from the other characters too in the later episodes.
  • Let Elliot kick off walls and b-hop side strafe to gain speed through the mansion, while spinning silverware cutlery in his hands

My main criticism is the Lessons Minigame not having an intro before starting it (unless I spaced out and it did have one), the lack of the diary at the start (which can make an ADHD idiot like me feel stuck) and the lack of collectible that encourages me to comb the entirety of this beautiful looking map. My suggestion is more Francesca content, obviously.

Awesome expirience, tried to scoop every bit of the game as everything it allowed me to do. Backtracked a few times just to check for any interactions that I might have missed or which could have appeared...so I got a chuckle out of the interaction with the sister, oddly enough very clever way to tell to the players that "There is something to be done in the other house wing go explore the other way !" I hope it will continue to future episodes !

Now that I am done kissing your lovely bottom like Emil.

1) The already mentioned interaction of Emil in the bathroom playing each time you interact with the shower in any time of the day.
2) Notebook could be available from the start or lying on the desk, with Vivie suggesting to pick it up (I'm a dumdum who had to backtrack to classroom to take it)
2.5) Alternatively in the class room, the notebook could be just placed on the other end of the desk, closer to the player, so they have higher chance with interacting with it/
3) Also would be cool to be able to look up controls while in the game instead of having it just in the main menu. (I'm a dumdum who couldn't figure out how to pop up the notebook)
4) Not really a big deal or something of high importantce to put attention to, but would be neat to see the score next to each swimming level after beating it. Not something of high importance, just something to stroke player's ego a little bit, to see those SSS

Oh also you cheeky Box, giving me a scare in the easteregg location ! Loved every bit of it.
I have huge hope to see another episode !

Peak fiction ngl

Wish there was more Emil fucking though got me fiending for more femboy stuff

this ordeal was very lovely. unlocked all the scenes. elliot would indeed make a great boy whore.  the games are fun. well the swimming one is challenging but possible to beat, and we get lore in the game.  i did'nt have any technical problems, and i was trying my best to look. but those scenes. Worth it. I am looking forward to more exploration of the manor and its workers, I do really hope there is a maze garden. and it implements a chase system or like how the swim game works. a big woman gardener / custodian care taker under the employ of Victoria or Eleanor has them to seclude you in the maze and this big woman of a gardner trys looking for you, then if she catches you elliot goes missing but is being used as spunk fertilizer. "a weird meaty hose protrudes from a fertilier bag, constantly spraying over the flowers being carried by that big woman gardner"

At last congratulations on the release as expected i had an enjoyable time playing (my dumbass was late, itch io wasnt being cool and declines my card so i proceeded to say fuck it and make a paypal account)

i dont have much to add, the amazing people here already listed some of the QoL changes that i thought of

Though i really wish in future minigames you'd give instructions like the swimming one, My retarded ass didnt know what i was doing in the class game before finally getting it

Love the characters everyone, love fucking em too, hope to see more of that with everybody, Yes everybody possible
and i also love that no matter what i can find something interactable you always add text to it even if its simple like one word

i remembered your tweets about the attic and took my dumbass a while but then finally went in and despite having no jumpscare that shit is spooky as fuck, adding secret places like the attic would be a fun reason to explore everything (i love going every every part of the map to see anything interactable

again, congrats and as always "I love your art style and i wish you great success" in future builds

Through the itch app, it shows there being no compatible downloads. I don't know for certain, but my guess is that it's because the download doesn't have the Windows label on it?

Developer

I suspect that might be it, I've no idea what I'm doing with itch backend stuff, it does work for Windows but needs a machine capable of using Vulkan rendering

How do I get the top-rightmost gallery? I got 9 sex scenes but I can't find how to get that last one.

Also there seems to be an oversight. You can go straight to class without hearing what George is saying.

Developer

You need to explore the house fully, though as a small tip, look around the top floor!

And noted, I'll fix that in Sunday's patch

Peak. i was worried a little that it might not be everything i hoped. I can see that was unfounded. an amazing game, and i cant wait for all the potential this game has. loved all the scenes, (took me a solid second to find the pool lol) really enjoyed chapter 1. Amazing work!

P.S luv ya. take care of yourself.

Happy Thanksgiving. I don't know if you celebrate it but I hope you and anyone reading this have a wonderful day.
Big fan of the Aristocrats so far. I've got to say you've done a great job with Emil's character, I can imagine you're going to want to step away from him and onto the other members of the family. Still I'd like to see some more puppy dog bullshit from him, small stuff like having him move his desk closer to the player's on the next day.

Developer

That's a fantastic idea and I'm going to steal it. And don't worry, Emil won't be the "main character" of days any more, but he's definitely part of the main group now, with Vivienne and Elliot.
