Update 3.5 is being released this week, and contains half of day 4. originally day 4 content was only going to be a subscriber release and the public update was just going to be some fixes, but once we got everything together for this first half of day 4, we realized even this half day, has more content then day 1 or 3 did. and as much content as the entirety of day 2.
So we are ok doing a half day release in this case. Subscribers will still get a different release as they get access to a few scenes that won't be public yet because they aren't completed and I want their feed back on if I am going to complete them or not.
I like the game, it has a lot of potential, but I don't understand the logic. The sexual tension between MC and Alex is so thick, yet if you try anything with her, you get "penalized" and she gets upset, and on top of that, she literally kisses you multiple times and shows you her body but is still weirded out if you try anything? That logic doesn't make any sense.
Alex does tease the mc alot, but if played right, the only "penalized" action is you trying to put you're finger in her, and that's only because shes asleep and she freaks out when she wakes up.
Their has also been some issue with discrepancies in different routes, which over the past month, we have fixed and is part of this next update.
The first route written is the uncle/aunt route, and the other routes were branched off that. and if I remember correctly, I think it was the cousin route that had a corruption stats glitch that caused it to fail on a few things.
One of the major changes in this next update is we completely separated the routes and script files into self contained paths where it only contains story for that route. The original files still exist so saves work, but if you start new, or load a save from day 2 and then go into day 3, you will be in the new diverged scripts.
This does require us to write each day 6 times, but it fixes these issues and allows for greater differences in the routes. Taking day 4 for example, Uncle/Aunt routes have a pretty awesome and unique experience with Alex, and the cousin route gets one with Kayla, and the family friend route, gets something completely unique with Ava.
These kind of things have been discussed on my patreon, when we started this, it was mostly for fun and curiosity really, wasn't until we saw the response we got that we really started paying attention to things like this, so things like this are being fixed, but we don't want re renders to delay new content, so that's a slower process atm.
It's not an issue, really, more like an observation "huh, that's funny". I tend to pick up details like that all the time, and have a weird need to point them out. It didn't bother me at all, I just couldn't help myself.
Looking forward to new content, in any case. I really enjoyed it so far.
I did have strip on here, but strip kicked me off their service so I had to remove it (they don't like adult content), but its funny because itch's internal payment system uses strip and itch has allot of adult content. I've been debating on just going back to itch's internal payment system, but I have been a little spoiled by payments going directly into my account.
That's it so far, half of day 4 is done, Was going to release it to subscribers last week but after a few code changes, it gave us the option to expand on a few things when it comes to story divergence, so we did. Their is now 10 different scenes available for the morning of day 4 that change based on your previous choices and chosen relation.
Yes, Something happened to my "key" for the android packager, and I had to get a new key, so it won't allow it to overwrite the previous install. Have to uninstall before installing :(
am i being stupid? i can see day 3 in the files but mine stops after seeing Ava's BF cheating which is the end of day 2 unless i've completely lost track of time already...
Ava is day3, we realized after release we forgot to update ingame phone, I have an update coming out between the 14th and 21st that will address this, and some other issues.
I don't like to give estimates this early, because things happen and I suck at hitting deadlines lol. but im already about 20% of the way through day 4 and its only been a week. so aiming for end of October, early/mid November.
First half of day 4 should be hitting subscribers between the 14th and 21st of October.
Everyone has their preferences, I'm not one to judge, but I try my best to make a game that is enjoyable for almost any preference.
So yes, While NTR is part of the story laid out for this, I have no problems providing the options and a few rewrites to play without that. And as a person who has dealt with that IRL, I can understand some of the issue with it.
if playing on mobile (Just found this out honestly)
the menu image still says day 2, I honestly wasn't aware that image was still visible as it got replaced with an animated background in with the female update to day 2 that apparently did not transition to mobile
so that image was never replaced for day 3 because we didn't know it was visible.
There is a small update coming middle of month to fix some things, grammer, some code, few route changes. and I will have that corrected in that.
What are you playing on. ? The scene uses a series of images in quick succession as an animation, later we moved to just using webm but haven't updated older anims yet.
Same thing with me. Playing on Android. I installed it yesterday and it keeps crashing for me in the same spot. Right after breakfast when Alex is texting her friend. Which is a shame because I'm really loving this game
Thanks, i am in the process of updating all old animations from image series to webm that should solve this issue. Was originally hoping to have that done last week, but some day 4 things sucked up allot of time and previous day updates kept getting pushed back.
Awesome! Thank you for the response. I wanted to add a little more detail about the original comment. Keep up the good work I can't wait to dive back into this game again
Well their has been several discussions around walkthroughs. I think what will happen is you will have the option to turn on a guided play. Which will highlight the options to get you to your chosen goal.
just wanted to say, i think you made the right choice making the NTR a completely different download. it really is an extremely niche fetish, which most of us find abhorrent to the genre, and 'is avoidable" usually results in us stumbling across is accidentally or in replays etc, and it really can ruin the experience of a good storygame. well done, excellent solution, and i'll update my review accordingly :)
yeah, I am aware of my grammar issues. I had actually been using grammerly but it got all janky and stopped working as I finalized last update. Ill be putting out a small update in a couple of weeks for some other things and that will be corrected as well.
Aside from the obvious (we all know, otherwise we wouldn't be here), the soundtrack is also amazing and really fits with the quality and style of this work. Having trouble tracking down the tune at the end of 0.03.90 during someone's unfortunate discovery. Machina...tune or artist?
Nice thanks. Excellent choice. Have to add that one to a playlist. I've listened to a few tracks and I have to agree. Kinda funny and random where we find these things lol
Yeah, Most the music I have used so far in the game is Silencyde and Alexander Nakarada. Just discovered Infraction while working on day 3. (Alex Stairs)
I think its due to filesize, android does have a 2gb limit, i guess this is what happens, rerunning some compression to make it smaller, then ill reupload.
Confirmed, Compressed day 1 and 2 like i did on day 3, size is down to 1.3gb, confirmed working on my S10, Uploading now, Android uploads first so you should be good to download in 5 minutes.
Feel like escape room should be made easier. Had i not found solution here i would have just dropped the game completely here for an adult game not a puzzle game.
I apologize, Personal life things keep coming up, Just finalized the last scene, finishing up a few things on female route and its done. Tomorrow (Thursday) for sure!
I also did add a character last minute too, She was originally part of the story, but wasn't happy with character design so we wrote her out. Tried one more time to make her and was actually happy with it this time, so we had to redo some renders and put her back in the story.
Man im kinda bummed i discovered this game. Im gonna have to wait so long for the real thing. This game is super well done. There are plenty that try to use arbitrary choices as some sort of requisite mechanic to bring themselves out of the category of visual novel and into the genre of a dating Sim or an rpg. This game, so far, does an incredible job of giving you several choices (or sometimes just a few) and then they come back later and get you. Product of good writing. I'm really looking forward for more. I'm not super hyped with the *spoiler alert* involved girlfriend open relationship but that's just not my kink. In no way does that make me less excited about all the updates coming in the future. Keep up the good work. Please. I've done a little writing so if you ever have a block and wanna toss around ideas I'd be happy to help.
I really think you should always have the free version at least one or two updates behind the supporter version and keep it that way. This will help to incentivize people to support your game as well as give a meaningful bonus to your paid supporters while still offering free content.

next update?

when is there going to be a day 4- day 6?
I like the game, it has a lot of potential, but I don't understand the logic. The sexual tension between MC and Alex is so thick, yet if you try anything with her, you get "penalized" and she gets upset, and on top of that, she literally kisses you multiple times and shows you her body but is still weirded out if you try anything? That logic doesn't make any sense.
I took it as Alex teasing the MC without actually meaning for anything to happen
Alex does tease the mc alot, but if played right, the only "penalized" action is you trying to put you're finger in her, and that's only because shes asleep and she freaks out when she wakes up.
Their has also been some issue with discrepancies in different routes, which over the past month, we have fixed and is part of this next update.

Taking day 4 for example, Uncle/Aunt routes have a pretty awesome and unique experience with Alex, and the cousin route gets one with Kayla, and the family friend route, gets something completely unique with Ava.
Uh, is there a reason the arrows on the road in the intro point the opposite way? Are we all going the wrong way?
These kind of things have been discussed on my patreon, when we started this, it was mostly for fun and curiosity really, wasn't until we saw the response we got that we really started paying attention to things like this, so things like this are being fixed, but we don't want re renders to delay new content, so that's a slower process atm.

Looking forward to new content, in any case. I really enjoyed it so far.
why does the title screen still say day 2?
oversite, because in most cases you get the animated background, its fixed in the next update.
Is there a cheta sheet?
a guided mode is coming in next update
Is it possible to pay with a credit card. I don't want to use paypal!
I did have strip on here, but strip kicked me off their service so I had to remove it (they don't like adult content), but its funny because itch's internal payment system uses strip and itch has allot of adult content. I've been debating on just going back to itch's internal payment system, but I have been a little spoiled by payments going directly into my account.
I am not sure if there is any content after the showed up in the cheating part. Is there is something I am missing or under development.
I really like the content and story line! keep it up!
Best game by far
That's it so far, half of day 4 is done, Was going to release it to subscribers last week but after a few code changes, it gave us the option to expand on a few things when it comes to story divergence, so we did. Their is now 10 different scenes available for the morning of day 4 that change based on your previous choices and chosen relation.
I keep getting the message that day 3 can't load because it conflicts with an existing package. Playing on an android. Any ideas?
Yes, Something happened to my "key" for the android packager, and I had to get a new key, so it won't allow it to overwrite the previous install. Have to uninstall before installing :(
First off well done! Secondly i might be blind but is there more after the whole Ava cheat? My game just goes to credits then menu.
That is the end of day 3, I thought about adding more to that, but decided to leave it with just that and explain more in day 4.
am i being stupid? i can see day 3 in the files but mine stops after seeing Ava's BF cheating which is the end of day 2 unless i've completely lost track of time already...
Ava is day3, we realized after release we forgot to update ingame phone, I have an update coming out between the 14th and 21st that will address this, and some other issues.
oh yep my bad, I'm just being stupid 😅 thanks though. Keep up the great work, awesome so far!!
any femdom in this game and character name, please?
or dominating personality female character name
Kayla is the more dominate LI, and she will have more dominate options available as the game progress.
So..i feel dumb and i know you've got countless comments about this but am stuck in the escape hotel. How do i unlock the toilet? Ive tried everything
One key in the case Kayla has, The other is under the bed in a box, inside a dildo ;)
When can I expect a new update for this series. By the way, love the storyline.
I don't like to give estimates this early, because things happen and I suck at hitting deadlines lol. but im already about 20% of the way through day 4 and its only been a week. so aiming for end of October, early/mid November.
First half of day 4 should be hitting subscribers between the 14th and 21st of October.
whats the code

why do people not like NTR in games?
Everyone has their preferences, I'm not one to judge, but I try my best to make a game that is enjoyable for almost any preference.
So yes, While NTR is part of the story laid out for this, I have no problems providing the options and a few rewrites to play without that. And as a person who has dealt with that IRL, I can understand some of the issue with it.
you're telling me u wanna watch ur lover get pounded by another man?
no, no one said that.
different strokes for different folks
I'm not interested in ntr, so thank you for letting us know upfront.
Of course! The side story was a commission and when we decided to release it publicly we figured it needed a pretty big warning ;)
Main story will have a couple of minor NTR elements later down the road, but those can be turned off for people who aren't interested.
This one's pure gold. Can't wait for more!
Great vn so far loving it. My fav character is Alex.
is update 0.03.90 day 3 as minee still says day 2
Im seeing the same thing. In the about tab, it shows .03.90 but i dont have access to day 3
if playing on mobile (Just found this out honestly)
the menu image still says day 2, I honestly wasn't aware that image was still visible as it got replaced with an animated background in with the female update to day 2 that apparently did not transition to mobile
so that image was never replaced for day 3 because we didn't know it was visible.
There is a small update coming middle of month to fix some things, grammer, some code, few route changes. and I will have that corrected in that.
im on pc is day 3 live now
yes, day 3 is live for all platforms.
Alex looks like Ellie and it is out-of-this-world cute.
Ellie?
Stuck in the escape room , can't figure out the code
search on the web, it is easy to find
Give me a hint, found 6*9+6+9= but keeps saying that is wrong answer
Code
444269
Can someone help me, my game keeps closing by itself in the scene in the kitchen, when the girls start fighting , i don't know what to do
What are you playing on. ? The scene uses a series of images in quick succession as an animation, later we moved to just using webm but haven't updated older anims yet.
Same thing with me. Playing on Android. I installed it yesterday and it keeps crashing for me in the same spot. Right after breakfast when Alex is texting her friend. Which is a shame because I'm really loving this game

Awesome! Thank you for the response. I wanted to add a little more detail about the original comment. Keep up the good work I can't wait to dive back into this game again
I like the game a lot. Just want to mention, you keep using the word "since" when you mean "sense."
sense when?
lol ;) I know. grammar issues and grammarly was broke
Lawl. Well played, sir. Since I get the sense that you've been dealing with this since the game started, it makes sense that'd you'd know about it.
🤣😂🤣😅
Do you plan to put this on Steam? I'd buy it. Plus a walkthrough.
Eventually, I just want to get further along in development, Once it hits steam I want at least a few hours of play time.
Will you make a walkthrough as DLC?
Well their has been several discussions around walkthroughs. I think what will happen is you will have the option to turn on a guided play. Which will highlight the options to get you to your chosen goal.
I very much support that idea.
Download for Android is coming up as a zip file and not an apk, tried renaming it but still didn't work. Anyone else have this issue?
Itch does seem to be providing zip instead of apk. Uploads to itch are handled by renpy itself, i am checking and ill update you shortly.
Reuploaded, itch is now giving an apk
Not sure why but itch zipd the apk, ill keep an eye out to see if it happens again.
Thank you!
just wanted to say, i think you made the right choice making the NTR a completely different download. it really is an extremely niche fetish, which most of us find abhorrent to the genre, and 'is avoidable" usually results in us stumbling across is accidentally or in replays etc, and it really can ruin the experience of a good storygame.
well done, excellent solution, and i'll update my review accordingly :)
I don't understand the note in the escape room. Maybe I'm slow.
I'm dumb. I can't figure it out. I wish there was better hints. Google helped.
There's definitely a few grammatical errors like "Unfortionately" Should be "unfortunately."
And "Their" instead of "there"
"Since" instead of "Sense"
"coulden't" should be "couldn't"
"woulden't" should be "wouldn't"
"Ourselfs" should be "Ourselves"
"meen" lol
yeah, I am aware of my grammar issues. I had actually been using grammerly but it got all janky and stopped working as I finalized last update. Ill be putting out a small update in a couple of weeks for some other things and that will be corrected as well.
cool.
In one of the scenes where Alex wakes up with MC, her eyes are not aligned. Like one is looking at MC while the other is looking up.
I'm guessing that will be fixed too.
She's just a little drunk... :) lol nice catch, yeah ill have that fixed.
Android apk has a virus? I cant install
It's clean.
but not signed or approved for android marketplace.
Aside from the obvious (we all know, otherwise we wouldn't be here), the soundtrack is also amazing and really fits with the quality and style of this work.
Having trouble tracking down the tune at the end of 0.03.90 during someone's unfortunate discovery.
Machina...tune or artist?
Machina by Silencyde
I love Silencyde's work, Kinda sad he stopped doing music under the name, now he just does music under empires will fall.
https://www.youtube.com/c/Silencyde
https://www.youtube.com/c/EmpiresWillFall
Nice thanks. Excellent choice. Have to add that one to a playlist. I've listened to a few tracks and I have to agree. Kinda funny and random where we find these things lol
Yeah, Most the music I have used so far in the game is Silencyde and Alexander Nakarada. Just discovered Infraction while working on day 3. (Alex Stairs)
Sweet. Well certainly keep up the good work. I'm sure this VN will gain quite a following.
Although I must say I have a serious complaint...
You people are trying to kill me 🤣🤣
Quick question! Do you have a discord channel for people to join and follow?
I do, but unfortunately haven't been on much recently, I really need to get back on there.
Can't seem to get APK to load. Package not complete. . Anyone else have similar issues?
Checking
Can confirm it happened to me too
I think its due to filesize, android does have a 2gb limit, i guess this is what happens, rerunning some compression to make it smaller, then ill reupload.
Awesome man! Played the first 2 days, and its looking really good so far!
Confirmed, Compressed day 1 and 2 like i did on day 3, size is down to 1.3gb, confirmed working on my S10, Uploading now, Android uploads first so you should be good to download in 5 minutes.
thank you
Feel like escape room should be made easier. Had i not found solution here i would have just dropped the game completely here for an adult game not a puzzle game.
So how long should we wait first its 1 week then 2 the 24-48 hours but still nothing.
I apologize, Personal life things keep coming up, Just finalized the last scene, finishing up a few things on female route and its done. Tomorrow (Thursday) for sure!
I also did add a character last minute too, She was originally part of the story, but wasn't happy with character design so we wrote her out. Tried one more time to make her and was actually happy with it this time, so we had to redo some renders and put her back in the story.
Thursday you say?
Yeah. Not sure what happened, First power went out, then when power came back on the internet was out for a few days. Back on and uploading now.
oof. The update was real nice btw!
Man im kinda bummed i discovered this game. Im gonna have to wait so long for the real thing. This game is super well done.

This game is so potential! I even made an acc on itch for this comment 😆
I like the grafics, but the music is unbelievable! Keep what you're doing!
When is more coming
On schedule for this weekend.
how can i pick up key baterie etc? i cant do this part of the level. or give me code
I really think you should always have the free version at least one or two updates behind the supporter version and keep it that way. This will help to incentivize people to support your game as well as give a meaningful bonus to your paid supporters while still offering free content.
I got the code and oped the vib but i cant do anything with any of it just return?
