Lots of clicking to everything being closed. Eliminate 95% of the empty squares and just have the path you click on go directly to where you want to go. Have a wait function to progress time if you include restrictive time windows of access to places. Have a go home function to rest or sleep. Game needs these to avoid too much grind.
On the release of this version, I specifically stated that the open world factor is still being worked on mainly because the current version does not have much content after the intro. I also stated that quick travel will be a thing, where you'll be able to skip any actual movement for those who don't like that.
For the other point you mention, there's quite literally a skip time function embedded right into the user interface that you can use in majority of places.
I can understand that you may think the black screen is annoying, but it cuts down on file size. All the static visuals in my game are 4K, so if I were to add an image for every single black screen, the file size would increase quite a sizeable amount. As mentioned in the above description, I prefer quality over quantity.
You're also forgetting that the game caters to 5 main fetishes and 4 side fetishes, so if you're only interested in one or two, that cuts down on the amount of game play.
You do make a good point on my writing and I'm trying to work on that. Though, I honestly don't see how you think there's barely any visuals to the narration.
Wow I'm super impressed with this game so far! This is my first comment on itch.io even tho i've downloaded quite a few games, but none have the aesthetic, writing, and intrigue that this game has! I usually skip through stories because they don't match my taste (unrealistic, too pg etc) but this story has a great blend of realism, darkness, familiarity, and depth! Only downside is it is very far from completion. Hoping the creator can get enough money to perhaps hire some help, it's rare you find creators here not just using renpy etc and hashing out cookie cutter games. This game is ground root authentic, made from scratch. I love it! Praying for update soon!
Despite how short it was, this seems pleasantly promising! A little disappointed that muscle is only a side fetish, but you take what you can get I suppose :p Otherwise, I'm still really looking forward to what comes next. My favorite part was going back and trying out all the Nylah scenes, they're done really well in my opinion! Also I'm not sure if it was you specifically who implemented them, but I feel like this game shows that a good ui goes a long way, with how smooth and dynamic it feels, much better from the static boxes that every other game uses. Can't emphasize enough that I love how that makes it feel so much better to experience. A critique I have is the overuse of ellipses, feels like it just drags out dialogue or descriptions more than it needs to. Other than that I'm not a fan of the cruelty stuff but given that you've put the option to skip it anyway I'm very much more than happy with this product, and I'm super excited to see future updates!
Heyhey, very open to hearing about those, sure! Though I would prefer you to message me on Discord or anything else for that matter, since I don't want to clutter this comment board.
Also, about the hair, it's a wildcard sometimes with how different lighting affects it quite drastically. I'll change it, thanks for pointing it out!
Appreciate it. I'll likely have to come back to it on a replay, and probably hit up the Discord. Just letting myself enjoy it this first time through. It's well crafted so far!
Would it be possible to make the Linux version of the game use a format that can be run on any distribution? .deb only works in Debian Linux. Try using AppImages, which work on every distro. Or upload this game to Flathub.
It is very much possible, though there's an issue where an animation causes the game to crash, which is why it's only available on .deb format. I was unfortunately unable to fix and I'm pretty sure last time I checked it was a known issue with webkitgtk. I'll look into flatpak.
now this one is way better made than most of the games on this website. interesting storyline, just a well made game overall. really need an update for this
I couldnt install the game because of kernell32 error so I downloaded non-fixed version as suggested. But when installing from this file I get an error :" There is a problem with this windows installer package...". Anyone know what is causing it and how to fix it. I try to run the game on Windows 7 64
Apologies for the issue. Installing the game on Windows 7 can error since it requires Edge and I believe it will only work on some machines.
With the non-fixed version, when does that error pop up exactly? It should install something called Edge webview for you, does it ever get to that point?
Ah, then I'm afraid it might be because you're on Windows 7. It has something to do with service packs not being installed and I believe you can only install them on specific versions, I'm not sure. I apologize for this.
I am not sure if I'm dumb or what but I'm stuck in the cell after I got downstairs and have the night of my life and I'm not sure what to do. I have tried to sleep but I'm unable to sleep and I can't get out of the steel door
I apologize, this is currently a bug in that version. Try to load the "Kidnapped" checkpoint again but don't move your character and instead try to click through the dialogue, it should work then.
Seems like that, laptop, intel core i3-5005u 12 gb ram, intel hd graphics 5500/nvidia geforce 920m, OS Windows 8.1. It wasnt clear from the screenshots and game description that there might be problems with outdated hardware (i meen I never seen a text adventure that didn't run on this before)
Yeah it's really difficult to figure out exactly what the issue is with a white screen, but it means the game's stuck loading. I personally think it's because of the 4K visuals that the game has and needs to load, but it could also be things strictly hardware related like drivers and so on.
I meant more finding said menu as it were, i've tried all I can think of at this point, I can use the autosave stuff thankfully and load but can't seem to find the save option itself
Correct me if I am wrong but is there no more content after you free the girls. If it a suggestion I would have would be a note at the end of current content that there is no more content in the current update.
You haven't reached the end. There are also already notes at the end of content. If it's any help, the event viewer helps you through the rest of the story. :)
If I'm not mistaken, on Mac you're supposed to mount the file you download which in turn will contain the .exe that you can double click. Are you doing this?
From my limited experience with Mac, when you double click a .dmg file it will mount it to your system automatically. If you open up the file explorer, you should be able to see it listed on the left hand side.
The game is great tbh, been havin fun with it for two days exploring the options, but there are some things missing that would definitely bring the quality higher...
First, music, maybe voice acting and sound effects, i have spent way too much time sitting in complete silence over this game, the first big thing would be to get some music fitting the dark theme you are probably trying to achieve, also voice acting for the characters could really help with the immersion and the quality of the scenes, and tbh by sound effects i just mean like burps and moans in the scenes with the slut for example cuz i am a fucking pervert, but yeah, outside of that and a few bugs preventing cutscenes of the slut changing after the choices in her episode from loading this is quite a good game, if not one of the best i played from that genre, also combining multiple fetishes in the sluts scene and expanding the topic of vore in the scene would be nice, for example i can for now only imagine the path of combining the growth path and the ass or breasts expansion path where she gets not only taller than the skyscrapers in the town but her "attributes" could also be way bigger than them, imagine her just sitting on a skyscraper or fitting it in between her buttocks, or giving a boobjob to a scyscraper with breasts bigger than the ones in the final scene, that would be awesome, keep up the good work and i am still waiting for more!
Thanks, really glad to hear you enjoyed! Music and sound effects are being added in the next version. I'll see what I can do about the rest of your suggestions!
not quite sure what to do when you first get to the operating room when you have the girl and the control panel. she doesnt let you leave and you cvant use the control panel
For those considering downloading this because you've seen screenshots of the more interesting expansions on social media: just know this creator is very much into the non-con side of things and the tone shifts WILDLY back and forth between horny-fun and just dark.
The first transformation sequence involves your character effectively being forced to go into a room with a 'slut' who offers to transform into your wildest desires, a distraction so another character can be kidnapped. If you pick blueberry transformation, suddenly she has zero idea what the kink is and has a terrified reaction to the process. The narration describes the transformation as being "agony" for her until the tone wildly pivots back to horny as she gets into it.
The actual mechanics of the game are interesting, but it suffers from the early VN trap of trying to tell a lot of exposition one short line of dialog at a time. Instead of delivering one paragraph of information you could read in two seconds you have to hammer space bar constantly to speed through all the filler descriptors that repeat information you already know.
Also, I mean this as constructive criticism: You've got way too much going on in the plot early in the game. I get you needed ways to introduce various characters that the player will be able to transform but the plot becomes so ambitious there's a solid ten to fifteen minutes of preamble and not much happening before the first actually erotic scene.
It feels more like a personal writing project that got adapted into a game than an erotic visual novel that was always a visual novel from the start. I highly suggest finding someone you can hand the script to and let them give honest feedback on what text isn't really necessary.
For example: the auction scene operates under the assumption both the player and their character would not immediately understand they are witnessing an auction, so you've got tons of anime-style "what's happening" dialog popups that don't really do anything besides make the scene take longer.
Again: Overall the thing is enjoyable, but even someone who has seen a fair amount of erotic video games and understands what they signed up for is hammering skip-dialog and I'm genuinely not missing any of the plot in doing so.
I'll start off by saying that writing is definitely my worst quality. You make good points and I'll try to improve on them as much as I can.
A couple remarks though.
Not sure why "slut" needs to be in parentheses, her character was quite literally built around that term.
Your description of the blueberry transformation to me doesn't really say there's something wrong with it. Just like the other paths, the transformations cause her to be into it. It was also never implied that she knows of any of the given fetishes.
The emphasis for the game, or I guess the thing, has always been visuals & mechanics. Writing has honestly always been secondary to me, as bad as that may sound to you. Objectively speaking, that is what majority of people want.
So the game does load, it's just whenever you try to start a playthrough, it's a black screen? I recommend sending me a message on Discord so it's easier for me to help you.
sorry but i cant use discord as i forgot my login information and cant make a new account under my email. and yes that is the problem the main menu screen doesn't even load properly until i look at the chapters screen
First.. its a huge good work.. im waiting just.. for Renee ...
I like her height base 1.73M.. but (i think you finished story next chapter) but could you edit that growth of her and really do more animated how she grows grows.. and make size check with barefeet more ? :P
I if you could do more like that will be hugeeee progress overall its mindblowing keep your good work and maybe tease when you release 1 more chapter :D
Thanks, glad to hear you enjoyed! Not quite sure what you mean but a character's height is taken without them wearing any type of heels. But I'll try my best to improve on the height growth animations. :)
I unfortunately cannot do anything about that, it needs to install components on your system. There is a virus check in the download instructions, and you are free to conduct your own on the MSI file.

I'm okay with criticism, but your comment comes over more as hateful rather than trying to tell me what's wrong with it.
Obvious bait is obvious
I can understand that you may think the black screen is annoying, but it cuts down on file size. All the static visuals in my game are 4K, so if I were to add an image for every single black screen, the file size would increase quite a sizeable amount. As mentioned in the above description, I prefer quality over quantity.

You do make a good point on my writing and I'm trying to work on that. Though, I honestly don't see how you think there's barely any visuals to the narration.
Wow I'm super impressed with this game so far! This is my first comment on itch.io even tho i've downloaded quite a few games, but none have the aesthetic, writing, and intrigue that this game has! I usually skip through stories because they don't match my taste (unrealistic, too pg etc) but this story has a great blend of realism, darkness, familiarity, and depth! Only downside is it is very far from completion. Hoping the creator can get enough money to perhaps hire some help, it's rare you find creators here not just using renpy etc and hashing out cookie cutter games. This game is ground root authentic, made from scratch. I love it! Praying for update soon!
Thank you so much for the incredibly kind words!
Very delighted to hear you enjoyed what I've made so far, makes me very eager to make more. Also very much still working on that part!
My pleasure! You've got talent and that's a fact! Don't let it go to waste, some h game developers make it big and maybe you can be next haha. Cheers!
This was my reaction as well, my first comment was down here just under yours too xd
Make it android pls
It's on the to-do list. :)
Despite how short it was, this seems pleasantly promising! A little disappointed that muscle is only a side fetish, but you take what you can get I suppose :p
Otherwise, I'm still really looking forward to what comes next. My favorite part was going back and trying out all the Nylah scenes, they're done really well in my opinion!
Also I'm not sure if it was you specifically who implemented them, but I feel like this game shows that a good ui goes a long way, with how smooth and dynamic it feels, much better from the static boxes that every other game uses. Can't emphasize enough that I love how that makes it feel so much better to experience.
A critique I have is the overuse of ellipses, feels like it just drags out dialogue or descriptions more than it needs to. Other than that I'm not a fan of the cruelty stuff but given that you've put the option to skip it anyway I'm very much more than happy with this product, and I'm super excited to see future updates!
Oh my, thank you so much for the kind words, really appreciated!!
Very delighted to hear you like what I did with the UI! Glad I'm not the only one who thinks it definitely enhances the experience.
As for the critiques you give, that is definitely fair. Sometimes I do think I'm overusing them, but I'm trying to do it less. :)
Man I need this one to hit android or at least joiplay so bad lol
I will try my best to get that done as soon as I can!
well wait for more content before playing.... that was over in 5 minutes D: was hoping for more but oh well xD
I'm very much with you there, trying my best to make more. I hope it was still enjoyable though! :)
it was interesting will wait for more
Hi, just checking if you're open to hearing of any typos and/or misspellings?
Also noticing a woman named as a blonde haired woman, but she's a brunette as she has brown hair.
Heyhey, very open to hearing about those, sure! Though I would prefer you to message me on Discord or anything else for that matter, since I don't want to clutter this comment board.
Also, about the hair, it's a wildcard sometimes with how different lighting affects it quite drastically. I'll change it, thanks for pointing it out!

there aren't any sounds for the game or background music/ambient either, is this a bug or does the game just not have it yet?
No sounds in the game currently, but they're planned for the next version.
Just played to the end of Jade's and Renees paths. Loving the content so far! And fetish stuff aside, you're writing is amazing!
Cant wait to see the games development!
Thank you so much! I consider my writing to be my worst quality so I really appreciate the compliment! :)
When you make this game work in joiplay?
It will unfortunately never work on JoiPlay, though an android version will eventually be made.
Good... I will waiting for android version
Not to sound pushy, but when can we expect the next update for story?
You're not sounding pushy at all. I'm unfortunately still working to get a somewhat accurate estimate for the next update, apologies!
Don't apologise buddy, take your time and you'll nail it!
If only there were more muscle scenes. A lot of them were not very good angles either but still good.
I'll try to improve on them, thanks!
Absolutely Amazing. Looking forward to new updates but i am afraid because how expansive the game is, it will take a very long time.
Also which engine are you using dev?
Thanks you so much, delighted to hear! Trying my best to go as fast as I can.
The 'engine' is mostly custom made, though it uses a web framework and something called Inkle for the dialogue. :)
now this one is way better made than most of the games on this website. interesting storyline, just a well made game overall. really need an update for this
Thank you so much for the kind words, really appreciate this!
Working on the update part! :)
Is there an .exe version to install for windows?
No, only an MSI file. Hope that's okay.
Do you know when the Android version will be released?
Unfortunately not any time soon, apologies.
Hey, I really like this game! Can I ask how did you make/get the character models? It looks really good.
Thanks so much, really glad you like it!
I don't want to disclose what exact models I used but they are all from the DAZ store. :)
That's all I wanted to hear, thanks!
Hi i cant access the file it says I don't have permission someone have a solution
What file did you download and on what operating system? :)
I have Windows 11 I tried Windows x64 the download
Sorry to bother you i had network issues 😅
I take it you solved the issue! Glad you resolved it, hope you enjoy the game!
so far yes when is the next update ?
I unfortunately don't have a date yet, but I'm very much working on it!
I couldnt install the game because of kernell32 error so I downloaded non-fixed version as suggested. But when installing from this file I get an error :" There is a problem with this windows installer package...". Anyone know what is causing it and how to fix it.

With the non-fixed version, when does that error pop up exactly? It should install something called Edge webview for you, does it ever get to that point?
Installer crashes halfway through installation, then I get said error and it closes. It doesnt even reach the point when Edge is installing.
Ah, then I'm afraid it might be because you're on Windows 7. It has something to do with service packs not being installed and I believe you can only install them on specific versions, I'm not sure. I apologize for this.
do you have any release date for the next version?
Unfortunately not yet, working on it though.
;-;
Can't wait!
I am not sure if I'm dumb or what but I'm stuck in the cell after I got downstairs and have the night of my life and I'm not sure what to do. I have tried to sleep but I'm unable to sleep and I can't get out of the steel door
I apologize, this is currently a bug in that version. Try to load the "Kidnapped" checkpoint again but don't move your character and instead try to click through the dialogue, it should work then.
unfortunately it doesn’t work for me, after installation I get an endless white screen(((
I apologize, a white screen usually means your computer has too old hardware to run it. Is this the case?
Seems like that, laptop, intel core i3-5005u 12 gb ram, intel hd graphics 5500/nvidia geforce 920m, OS Windows 8.1. It wasnt clear from the screenshots and game description that there might be problems with outdated hardware (i meen I never seen a text adventure that didn't run on this before)

Let me know when it's available to the android or joiplay
I just passed the scene when the 2 girls are transforming. Is that the end of the current version?
The event viewer, along with the dialogue itself will tell you if you've reached the end of the current content. Hope this helps!
Cant wait for the update love the rewards the player gets!!!
Thanks, really glad to hear you enjoyed!! :)
call this a silly question but how do I save.... I've been trying to figure out to save for awhile and feel downright silly at this point
No worries. When you're in-game, you should be able to click on any of the empty tiles in the save/load menu. Hope this helps! :)
I meant more finding said menu as it were, i've tried all I can think of at this point, I can use the autosave stuff thankfully and load but can't seem to find the save option itself
Oh, you should be able to press Escape when in-game, which will bring up the main menu again. Hopefully that's what you mean.
Correct me if I am wrong but is there no more content after you free the girls. If it a suggestion I would have would be a note at the end of current content that there is no more content in the current update.
You haven't reached the end. There are also already notes at the end of content. If it's any help, the event viewer helps you through the rest of the story. :)
It says no events active. From trying to interact with everything I can not figure what is wrong.
Strange, try to load the automatically saved checkpoint called "Your true self" and redo the choice.
Can you play this on Joiplay
Unfortunately no. An Android version is planned though.
I'm having trouble trying to get the mac version to work. I've downloaded both files but neither are launching the game
If I'm not mistaken, on Mac you're supposed to mount the file you download which in turn will contain the .exe that you can double click. Are you doing this?
Sorry I'm not too tech savy when it comes to mac but what do you mean by mount it? It is currently downloading as a dmg file
From my limited experience with Mac, when you double click a .dmg file it will mount it to your system automatically. If you open up the file explorer, you should be able to see it listed on the left hand side.
Maybe this could help you further: https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-open-dmg-file-mac/
Oh I am so sorry I am slow with Mac lmao
I forgot that it would be on the left side of the finder. Thank you for the help!
Oh I am so sorry I am slow with Mac lmao
I forgot that it would be on the left side of the finder. Thank you for the help!
No worries, glad it worked out! :)
Will there ever be a android version
Eventually down the line, yes. I sadly can't right now.

Thanks, really glad to hear you enjoyed! Music and sound effects are being added in the next version. I'll see what I can do about the rest of your suggestions!
after you use nylah's window, it won't let me press the button, intentional
If I understand you correctly, then yes this is intentional. That content is for the next version. :)
not quite sure what to do when you first get to the operating room when you have the girl and the control panel. she doesnt let you leave and you cvant use the control panel
You should be able to talk to her. If not, try loading the automatically saved checkpoint.
A solid early attempt at writing erotica!

i am trying to play this through linux and it keeps black-screening me after the menu and never loads.
Sorry to hear, what distro are you running and does your computer happen to be relatively old?
it is an asus chromebook. probably around 6-8 years old.
So the game does load, it's just whenever you try to start a playthrough, it's a black screen? I recommend sending me a message on Discord so it's easier for me to help you.
sorry but i cant use discord as i forgot my login information and cant make a new account under my email. and yes that is the problem the main menu screen doesn't even load properly until i look at the chapters screen
i tried to run the x86.zip file through the emulator joiplay and it asked for a password. do you know what the password is?
First.. its a huge good work.. im waiting just.. for Renee ...
I like her height base 1.73M.. but (i think you finished story next chapter) but could you edit that growth of her and really do more animated how she grows grows.. and make size check with barefeet more ? :P
I if you could do more like that will be hugeeee progress overall its mindblowing keep your good work and maybe tease when you release 1 more chapter :D
Thanks, glad to hear you enjoyed!
Not quite sure what you mean but a character's height is taken without them wearing any type of heels. But I'll try my best to improve on the height growth animations. :)
Just saying that the installer needing administrator privileges is a bit sussy
I unfortunately cannot do anything about that, it needs to install components on your system. There is a virus check in the download instructions, and you are free to conduct your own on the MSI file.
