After starting the game you are presented with a patreon and itchio information page with an option to go to the patreon or continue.

After clicking continue you get this:
gipia.jpg
The buttons being the question mark overlapping the question mark after games. That continues the game.
And the arrow overlapping something which goes to the options menu.

Even after finding the buttons I couldn't work out the logic behind symbol and function.

The text overlapping buttons above isn't a unique case, it happens in a few places and several buttons are overlapping between the black text box and background image, some white buttons are placed on offwhite sections of images And I even encountered a decision between 2 speech choices both of which where just blank buttons.

Some buttons appear to have sweetspots so while they animate as you hover over or click them it doesn't move on unless you click the right part of the button.

When you hit the ingame loading screens they are on par with loading battles in Total War Warhammer 2 from a mechanical hard drive. (If you aren't familiar with that its not a good thing)
To make matters worse when I say loading screen theres no sign of activity its just a black screen with background music playing on loop

There are a few different interface styles used and at times no logical reason why it didn't continue with what had already been used.

Visually its a nice change although it would be nice if they stuck to the drawn artstyle. Personally I don't think periodically mixing in 3D models works. There are a lot of images present which explains the size.
There is some nudity but it isn't of a sexual nature so sorry guys you probably wont be able to fap to it.

I got bored of the writing and found myself largely just skipping forwards to get an idea of the content and size so I can't actually tell you much about the story.

Overall it feels like an attempt to make a Renpy style VN engine but ends up being far too slow with the loading screens (3 in the current version) which are a case of go get a cup of tea while it loads.
If you aren't sure whether to download in its current state I wouldn't bother unless you are particularly interested in the game over the longterm and either want to get an idea of how it will develop or plan to give feedback to the dev on itchio.

Why the models in the preview images seems like that movie called "mars needs moms"?
The mars needs moms looking woman is a robot.

From what I have seen so far some places like when you are taking the poll some words are on top of each other so you have no clue what they are suppose to be the words are too damn fucking small they should be a lot bigger so people can read the words without having to have their face close to the computer screen. Different peoples names should have different easy to see colors to tell each person apart. Hitting the ESC button closes the game. Words should be darker then the background or lighter depending on what color the background is.

Save option hidden unless you mouse over it at the top of the screen but isn't always there so you can't always save. Didn't really see anything related to lesbian so that tag shouldn't really be there till it's been actually added to the game.

I predicted the comments as soon as I saw the cover..though, admittedly it's not hard.
>Black people
"Is iT sJw???! wOke?!"
Sweet Satan, help me.
I would think that the concern was more related to the "LGBT" tag which appears to have since been removed. It certainly was in my case. If there is a reason to use that tag on anything that isn't identitarian fart-sniffing I don't know what it is. Also, the unique art and high production value are enough to make one question whether or not it is actually pornographic.

I don't give a crap if it's "Black People" Me personally I see dark skin in hentai I insta nut... But the issue is that it isn't porn it's a VN with some nudity that is trying to push a feminist agenda... Most people who fap to games come for the nut not political and social agenda xD... I have seen people who played this and most agree the story isn't that great the art is unique there isn't enough smut to make it worth while so it's a VN with mild nudity and sexual themes that focuses on a story(Which seems to be meh) that is mostly a feminist agenda... So yes I was correct in saying it was femfreq nonsense no one gave a fuck about the color of the skin more about the context of the story...

Hope that cleared that up for ya chief.

It's a romance game by some Spanish dude (not even an "Ethiopian" or a "woman" as some other person for whatever reason questioned) who primarily makes comics along lines that lean more toward romance than hardcore genital slamming, so I'm not sure why you would expect that here in a game listed as VN and tagged romance and with little others, about lesbians (women by default) some pro-male message, as if in straight games women are treated well and so a game with a female focus there should be some sort of tit-for-tat trade of men living their best lives or some shit. I'm sure you don't also go into straight games calling them "woke" or going on about meninist/incel agendas for their slews of mindless dick-sleeve women who rarely don't lust after even their relatives in a post 2017 world, but do you, I guess. Maybe males=automatically no agenda so they're allowed to just have whatever content without people whining about what kind of a social message is or isn't being pushed? "xD" And still, in general, anything with black characters will often have people screeching buzzwords like "woke" and "pc" and "sjw" in the comments, which was why I said I knew what the comments would look like before coming in, and that is what they looked like, and from the reactions it seems I wasn't alone in noticing this annoying trend--but go off, guy. The reason I didn't @ you about women is because when it comes to content here, at least, women normally get a pass and are allowed to exist without it being considered another step in the feminist uprising, so I would be lying if I pretended I "knew" before coming in here there would be anything about feminists. Now if this were a movie, tv series, "regular game" or basically anything else, yeah, sure, anyone with a functioning brain would know to expect that. But I've been lucky enough before to not see enough people popping off here about "feminist propaganda" in a place where you can easily notice the rampant theme of male MC in straight game= women, to be honest, being treated like shit. You'd think then that naturally people wouldn't be getting triggered by something so tame about men in comparison in a lesbian game.. But the internet is the internet no matter where you go on the internet, I suppose, so my bad for not thinking to include any fem hangups in my prediction.

So, really, there was nothing to clear up. Judging from dude's comics and art and him saying he just learned how to make games, I'm guessing his only "agenda" was to tell another romance story and he was doing it in the way which is obviously still familiar to him. I wasn't confused about what you were saying, but thanks for coming back months later to try to clear it up when it mattered even less than before, champ.

Too bad the french translation is bad with spanish in it... I stopped at the beginning of the story.

Dommage la traduction française est mauvaise avec de l'espagnol dedans.. Je me suis arrêté au début de l'histoire.

Kinda wanna play it for the African-style decoration and characters alone. I've never seen anything that looks like this.
PS--Some people get off more from setup/romance/characters/situations than smut. Let's not hate.
