OK. I am REALLLY liking this so far. That scene with MC meeting his daughter, brought tears to my eyes. This is some freaking amazing story telling. And the presentation is just incredible. Very well done so far.
In harem games, the MC ends up with about 20 or 30 girls and those games follow a certain pattern and come with certain expectations of how they should work. This game is focused on 5 main girls over the course of the game. At the end you can pick one of the girls to be your Queen or there is an option to marry all five main girls and there is a path where the five main girls will share the MC with others, but the harem is limited to five as this game is more focused on story telling and less on porn tropes.
Not that there is anything wrong with harem games or porn tropes, I just didn't want to go that way for this game. I wanted to focus on telling a story with adult content. I hope that clarifies it for you.
Thanks for the response. Does this mean that throughout the story, MC is cheating from one girl to the next, or are they ok with his sort of single status until decisions are made near the end? Or is tthe 5 girl harem built during the story, and everybody is fine?
I love a good harem builder, even with fewer girls, and am ok with some drama along the way, as long as there isn't outright cheating and people getting hurt.
That is a very hard question to answer without giving away too much of the plot.
It takes a while before the love interests (LIs) can enter into a relationship with the MC due to various events. The LIs will come to a place where they agree to the MC dating within their group. The player can choose at various times to go outside the group. Sometimes the LIs will be okay with it, depending on who it is and if they have given the go ahead. The LIs will consider encounters they haven't approved of as cheating and the LIs will not be happy about it. If the LIs lose too many points the player will find themselves rejected and single at the end of the game.
Eventually, the player can ask the LIs to become his harem. The player can then ask for permission to sleep with other women outside of the harem. Their agreement will depend on various things. So it takes a while before the 'official' harem kicks in, but there are times when the MC can enjoy other girls outside the LIs. This game isn't going to be a free for all like many harem games, but there will be more variety as the game progresses.
I like the story so far. some of the facial expressions are extremely offputting to me though. maybe tone them down a little bit to make them feel more real
Fair comment. I have worked hard on that aspect. The patch will fix a fair few of those renders. The long scene with Rebecca is completely replaced. Thanks for playing.
Really solid start, I will say that I think a slightly more detailed 'Tome of Insight' would be helpful with remembering all the characters and lore though.
Great point. I wrote it thin on details because it was there from the start. With the coming update, the entries will only appear after you encounter the entry in game so I can add more detail to each entry.
There are lots of things going on in that chapter not everything is what it seems. The situation with the brothers will become clearer in ch2, other things you will have to wait longer for.
Early into chapter 2, you discover all is not what it seemed. Livvy was lying about what was happening with the brother and there is a reason for that. If you want the same old predictable porn tropes, then this isn't for you. If you want something that might just surprise you, then read on.

This is a game with harem options, it is not a harem game where the MC has relations with dozens of women.
What does this mean? What's the difference between harem options, and a harem game?
Thanks for the question.

I hope that's clear enough.

Seems a bit cuck to me with sharing references.

Even if I did not want to play this being an aussie I have to download this and give it a go. Add to the play it this weekend list it goes.
Haha thanks mate. I hope enjoy it.
Great story line and visuals. Definitely worth your time.
