Yeah, I probably won't do that with h-scenes again. I'm not going go back and change it or anything because I did feel like it would be too much to have two scenes like that back to back and neither scene felt right in any other point of the update, but I can see it being a little frustrating, for sure. I feel like I made it easy enough to save scum it, though. And Leonardo just wants to fit in, man! Plus, a little weirdo like that who is good at not being seen can be a good resource!
I appreciate the feedback, and I'm really glad you enjoyed that conversation. It was really important to me that Bodhi was established as more than just your standard AVN best friend. I don't want him to be a threat to MC's harem or whatever people are always yelling at me about haha, but I also wanted him to feel like a person, and a good, likable one at that.
Thank you! I'm glad some people are appreciating the effort I put into making the girls look unique to not just one another but to other games, as well. I know not everyone is into it, but they have plenty of other games they can play. It was important to me to have some variety in that regard

I appreciate the feedback! This first thing has been brought up quite a bit by different people, and I kind of want to put it to rest once and for all. Frankie is a transwoman and will never be a futa. I'm not really looking to make her more "palatable" to anyone. Her character, in particular, is important to me, and I feel like doing something like that would be a huge disservice to not just her but anyone who could ever potentially relate to her. I know romancing her isn't for everyone, and I'm not in anyway trying to force her on anyone, so I go out of way to make sure everything in this game is optional and tailored, but using the game's supernatural elements in this way feels more like a crutch or a copout to me than an appropriate exploration of a real person. I hope this makes sense. I agree that some of the humor is probably too much for some people though lol I hope I'll get the balance right at some point
MBS, I always eagerly wait your feedback and now I can rest easy ty ty. A few of the sauna renders with Ken wasSomething about the onsen scene is giving me flashbacks to the gay bathhouse in Final Fantasy 7
Great update Cure. This game's quickly become my happy place, I loved every minute of it. Wonder how many people actually let Leo be friends.... Not that I'm one of them
Love every girl. Okay, every girl except Lana, but that's just gonna make things more fun with her later
I wouldn't even be able to pick a favourite, I'd just end up listing every one of them. Even Bodhi is great, and male best friends are almost never great.

Yeah. Don't change Frankie. I haven't started this, but looking at the screens she's the only one I like and the reason I dl'd the game after someone pointed her out to me. As long as she has a solo path and I'm not forced to get with the others, I'm good to go.

I get where you're coming from, and I do respect that. And I don't have an issue with trans characters, in case that was a concern. And I'm glad she appeals to many people as she is.
I know that no one is "required" and as I said, I'm glad I can reject her romantically, while still being her friend. It's just that there is some guilt in that, as we get to see how hopeful she is that she has my attention. Add to that that, while I don't care for "fuck'em-alls," I do like harems, and if the MC I'm playing as feels like someone who can genuinely care for all his girls, I feel bad about excluding anyone.
Kinda silly, worrying about hurting a character's feelings or making them feel excluded, but that's how I approach games.
Sadly, as she is now, I wouldn't enjoy pursuing her romantically. But, as we've covered, I have the option not to. Certainly nothing is a deal breaker for me, in continuing to enjoy the game as it further develops.
I do miss a good futa character though. For people like me who really don't like NTR (but enjoy the lesbian content, with and without the MC), a futa harem member is a good (especially if optional, for people who don't like it) way to get another dick into the scene.... and something I find very rare to stumble across in these games, so I was hoping that was the direction Frankie was headed.
Hmm... maybe an afterthought? As we have the choice to reject romanceable options in the game, will we get the chance, down the line, to set them up with someone else? It isn't NTR if the MC has turned the person downm after all. It'd be nice to see, in my playthrough, her with someone, and happy, so I don't feel as guilty about turning her down...

Just do it then. MC isn't you, you don't need to enjoy her sex scenes to enjoy her love story. Everyone here is perfect imo but there's other games where I'll pursue girls I'm not attracted to just for the sappy romance.
Not my call obviously but that honestly sounds like a massive waste of development time for the whole 11 people who'd both reject Frankie and still want her to get her happily ever after. Besides that, Frankie fans aren't going to want another guy getting her even if it happens on a path we're not playing. It wouldn't offend me personally, although I still think it's pointless, but a lot of harem fans would feel cucked just by renders of that existing even if they never played through them.

Some more positives since I've progressed further, up to Nora's second scene (is it obvious she's a favorite of mine?) before I had to stop for the night and finally pass out.
- Wake might just be one of the best male protagonists I've ever seen in a porn game.
- Even if there's some kinda magic mermaid shit going on that can draw the other cast members to him, I'd say he's very "naturally charming" in a vaguely-realistic way. I can imagine a guy like him irl actually managing to get a lot of friends/lovers the way he does.
- Hot guys with long hair being porn game protags feels like a rarity, so thanks for making that his design.
- The humor is fantastic! I can kind of see where others are coming from when they say it can be a little much, but overall I think it fits the sorta "classic anime" feel of "strange dude living under strange circumstances going out into the real world for the first time" that this game has.
- God damn the girls are cute. Again, I love the variety in how they all look hot in different ways, but their personalities amplify that by a tenfold.
- I've already mentioned how great it is to see some actual age on the older character's faces, but another "unique" face I'm a big fan of is Ms. Bishop's. That strong jawline is a work of art, imo.

Just curious, does saying Sasha is your sister or childhood friend make any difference? or is it just something you say in the moment to not say she doesn't have any guardians. Also not asking if this suddenly makes it an incest type situation but genuinly curious.
Edit: Also wondering if the mc will cut his hair? not nessicarily a bad thing but he looks way too feminine with the long hair, but at the same time if not i couldn;t really care less just figured i'd ask while its a fresh thought

As a long haired dude whose wife affectionately called me lady face in the early days of our relationship, I paired my long hair with a full beard, but that wasn't a feasible option when I was MC's age. Ladies ime, like longer hair on men though. Shows we can take care of ourselves, and they like to play with it.

I won't spam the thread whenever I post or anything, but I wanted to thank everyone for the support and interest this week. Releasing 0.2 was a big deal to me, and you all made it worth it. I'm back to working on chapter 3 now, but the early stages generally consist of writing and things like that, so I'll be posting a lot of random character spotlights and outfit renders on Discord and Patreon. If you're interested in reading a few longform character backgrounds, the ones that have been released so far are pinned on
