Hm, "Kakula's First Appearance" is listed twice. Is that supposed to say something else, or is it erroneously duplicated?

Also, you've listed Page 2 twice, but the second time it should be Page 3.

The game just has high variance, at any difficulty level. It's possible to have a breeze of a battle against overleveled enemies on the highest difficulty if the gems line up right for you, and it's possible to get obliterated by low level enemies on the lowest difficulty if they line up perfectly for your opponent. Neither of these is particularly common, but both can happen.

The minimum Android version for this game is 12. Android 10 is quite old. I'm honestly surprised your device even works at all if it can't upgrade past 10. Version 12 itself is 3 versions behind.

I had a similar bug, though I did see the red monster initially. It disappears after you are defeated by it. I received the "BattleTutorial" error message in the next combat after reloading a save.

I don't know what happens if you successfully defeat the monster (I didn't exactly expect to be able to, but I wanted to try anyway), and I don't know if the error message appears if you choose not to reload.

After sleeping in Mabelle's inn with Rickard (not actually sure if it matters whether Rickard is there or not), there's a missing scene that requires a rollback or ignore. I chose to ignore it, since there wasn't a choice before the missing scene, so it would always be missing. Afterwards, it appears the MC is suddenly attracted to Mabelle for some reason and randomly kisses her? I'm not sure where that came from. It may be that that's a default variable that can't be set because of the missing scene? But if that's unavoidable, I'm sure it's going to turn away a lot of players.

Is there a list of extras in the gallery and scenes available for the public version anywhere? I'm still missing several, and I'm not sure if it's because I missed something or because they're not available in the public demo.

I did find the wiki page, but it doesn't seem to list the extras, and also seems to be for the Patreon version (as well as probably outdated?).

I haven't tried downloading it yet; did you already and not have any issues? I assumed it's a virus purely because this game is ancient and hasn't been updated in years, nor has the dev's X page, and the webpage is dead. So I figured scammers felt safe to upload a fake version.

EDIT: Though, apparently the Patreon page was just updated and this is an official release?

EDIT 2: Ah! I checked the user, since if it were a scammer they probably would have registered recently. Registered in 2018 and has plenty of posts and followers, so it should be safe.

Yeah no, fuck you.

Should definitely include hyper in that. It's already in the game, though, so maybe you were only listing planned fetishes not already in the game?

People definitely abuse the tags. I see so many people put the Gay tag on games with absolutely zero gay characters because there is (sometimes forced) M/M sex. Like, that's not what gay means. Gay isn't an activity. It's an orientation. Some of those would do fine with an LGBT tag (but not Gay tag), and some really shouldn't have either.

Weirdly, some of these games are extremely popular. Like "Straight!?" being one of the most popular "gay" games. He's not fucking gay; he's bisexual. It absolutely should not have the Gay tag.

Uh... no one is unbuttoning any blouses in the first sex scene, so we're definitely talking about different scenes. There weren't even any women in that scene, since I picked the M/M option.

Or... maybe that just isn't the first scene, and it's only the first one I saw because I have MxF and FxF disabled.

Scene skipping was enabled. I was never prompted to skip it. Is there a particular button I have to press to skip scenes?

Well, at least for the first one, there isn't really a choice not to see it, and the scene is rather long. I quit in the middle of it after spam clicking for a while.

Unfortunately, now that I'm able to play it, I'm finding that it's not at all what I was expecting. I was hoping for a game that follows Alex  and asks for choices from their perspective only, rather than jumping between characters and making choices from multiple perspectives. Obviously, I'm not asking you to change your game, but it might be beneficial for you to make that more obvious in the description.

Yep, that helped a lot. It does still take about 20 seconds to load, but it doesn't freeze. And I haven't had any issues yet after the load.

You continue to offend billions of people while offering nothing of substance. I don't know why you haven't been permabanned yet.

I am not responding to you because I am offended. I am responding because that is the polite thing to do, something which I don't believe you've ever been in your life. But since it's now abundantly clear that you're just a troll, I'm going to stop feeding you.

Yeah, you obviously can't read at all.

At no point was I ever rude to the author. You, on the other hand, were  extremely fucking rude to myself and billions of other people in the world, and only afterwards was I rude to you in return.

I did not claim to be a professional game critic. No clue where the fuck you got that idea.

I never claimed that the author needs to or even should listen to my criticisms. What I said was that the author did, in fact, listen to my criticisms.

I have absolutely zero cares about that game that you claimed I'm invested in.

Your comment about furries doesn't even make sense. I don't even know how to respond to it because it has no logical substance.

(2 edits)

No one needs baseless comments from some random person who registered 5 hours and posted 5 hours ago solely to bash someone they don't even know.

Also, in case you're an idiot, most professional game critics have never made a game, and most players -- who won't play a game they don't think is good -- have never made a game. If you want a game to be successful, most of the people you need to please have never made a game.

You also seem to be randomly assuming that Erized, who said pretty much the same thing I said, has made a game, otherwise you'd also be bashing them. They haven't.

(2 edits)

I'm not as confused as the MC. I'm more confused than the MC. My entire point is that the MC knows seven billion things I was never told. You'd realize that if you read a single fucking one of my comments before needlessly bashing me and claiming my criticism is not constructive. Especially considering the author clearly has taken it to heart and is making changes based on exactly my criticisms. Fuck you, asshole.

You may think you're being nice, but you're not. You're a piece of shit who's sugarcoating your bullshit. I'm the one saying anything of actual value to anyone.

Is 0.2.0 just the addition of the Android and Linux builds, or were there changes made to the Windows build as well?

I don't think you ever read your own game.

None of what you just described is in the game, and it also completely contradicts what does happen.

Like, seriously. If any part of what you just said is supposed to be in the game currently, it's majorly, majorly bugged. Not just confusingly written, but actually serious coding errors leaving out huge parts of what's supposed to be there.

In the same few scenes. MC mentions Liviana talking to them about a ship. Sure, a ship was mentioned -- once. MC has zero details about it and wouldn't pick it out from a random picture in another galaxy. Speaking of, how does MC even know they're in another galaxy? Literally no one ever mentioned Chronos. MC wouldn't have any idea that's where they are, particularly since the one person they know here is someone they met in Aquarii.

Then when actually speaking to Izar:

MC tells Izar "Answer my original question." even if MC didn't choose to ask any questions.
About Izar killing MC: "You could've sworn everyone around you was telling you that's exactly what he planned to do." No, no one told me that. MC just assumed that. There was an option to ask about it, but no one says anything about it if you don't pick that option.
"Delano told me..." No, I'm pretty sure Delano didn't mention Izar even once. If he did, it was in passing and unremarkable. Not sure if this line changes depending which god you pick? It's particularly strange if it doesn't.
"That, and Emperor Izar keeps saying when the war happens, unlike the gods and the Mitans who say if the war happens." MC has only spoken to one god, very briefly, and neither he nor the Mitans mentioned a war. At all. I'm not even sure that there's an option to learn about this.

I have not played past this point yet.

It has been a week, so MC could have learned some of these things during that time. But if so, it was all off-screen.

There's also a really weird inconsistency where the MC for some reason has no idea how to fight even if you pick all of the several options that imply they're quite skilled with fighting.

So, I played this a long time ago and was honestly rather lost. I noticed it's been reworked and more added, so I decided to try again. I was still confused early on, but I discovered what's been confusing me so much.

Izar is always referred to as Emperor Izar, but no place name is provided. We aren't told until 100+ pages in that Izar is the emperor of the Virrians in an entirely different galaxy. I spent that entire time thinking he's just a corrupt emperor of the Mitans. That should probably be clarified a lot earlier.

Also, there are several instances where the MC is assumed to have done/been told something that is an option regardless of whether we actually picked that option or not.

For being a "land of lust," this place is, uh... incredibly chaste. Either that or I'm in desperate need of an instruction manual. Because all I've figured out how to do is talk to people who want nothing to do with me.

Well, it's been termed a candle cheat, and there are most definitely candles in this game.

I think by using the "candle cheat" they mentioned. I also found it, though I'm not sure I should say how because I think it's intended to be a dev test mode that regular players aren't supposed to have access to. But I'm also pretty sure it isn't supposed to be the only way to not get stuck.

My computer freezes on the load screen, right as the Unity logo is coming up. Could be my VRAM and not RAM? My graphics card is kinda old too. But I couldn't even bring up Task Manager; I had to manually restart with the power button.

Though, I'm actually surprised you managed to even find a device with less RAM. They're pretty obsolete by now.

I have 8 GB RAM. It's not much for sure by today's standards, but visual novels typically don't require much.

So... are you ever going to fix the glaring major bug that prevents progress? Or are you just going to continue to put all your effort into adding more and more mod stuff and offload all subsequent effort to the community?

What are the sys reqs? My device can't run this. I imagine I don't have enough RAM, but... if so, that's a steep requirement for a visual novel. I know Unity is a RAM hog, but still...

Maybe you should try using antivirus software instead of an unencrypted website that detects how many actual antivirus programs have ever at any point gotten either a true or false positive on similar files?

Not the android version. The itch.io desktop application.

I don't know what changed, but version 2.0 is not available for download via the app, even though prior versions were.

Well, I have not played the most recent update -- I was just reading the changelog -- so I don't know anything about specific numbers that may or may not need tweaking. I just thought it was really odd that slave attitude and submission are considered negative consequences when they appeared to me to be player choices. So, it sounds like your intent is that high levels of submission are considered something that the MC doesn't want. To me, this implies the MC is not intended to be submissive. But nothing about the game description, nor what I've played so far, gives any indication of that. That's why I said I might have misunderstood the genre -- because this seems to be a game mechanic that's specific to bad end simulators rather than sandbox games. But maybe your statement that the MC is canonically versatile (and I guess also a switch, even though that wasn't mentioned) was supposed to imply that the goal of the game is to avoid going too far in one direction?

(1 edit)

I think I'm misunderstanding what genre this game is.

You said "Your attitude cannot grow anymore, but it can go down to slave, and even worse, each time your attitude goes down, your submission rises." Is this supposed to be a negative thing? My attitude has been slave. For a long time. I see no negatives associated with this. I also am a sub, and always have been, and in fact started as a Sub Guy. I see no negatives associated with submission rising.

It's true that while I enjoyed this game initially, I have not been enjoying it recently. I'm wondering if this is because the very thing that I'm purposefully doing -- playing a submissive character -- is, in fact, intended as a negative outcome, and that somehow was never clear to me. Are we not supposed to be able to choose to play as a submissive character unless we want negative consequences? If so, why is this not made more obvious?

I'm confused by "Trace will probably have the right recipe." I have no idea who Trace is or how I'd know that they'd have any recipes. Who is Trace and how do I meet them? Have I just not met some prerequisite? In that case, how does the MC even know their name?

EDIT: Ok, yeah, I hadn't met the prerequisite. Still weird that the MC already knew his name, though.

This is definitely still bugged, but I know exactly which interaction is bugged now. Claire's Extra scene takes energy *twice*. It takes 10 then takes it again immediately after. So it can never be completed without losing all your energy.
