If this is the first time that you have encountered this game, and are considering downloading it, just know this:
It is BARELY able to qualify as porn. There is nudity and sex, but this is far closer to 'Acting Lessons' than it is to a normal porn game. Honestly, in my opinion, this game is inferior to 'Acting Lessons.' Where 'Acting Lessons' makes the MC the victim of pretty much EVERY choice that he makes (and specifically a mentally ill stalker), this game has the MC being the one with demons plaguing him.
This game is really well written. It starts out strong, but at the end of Chapter 1 something happens that sends the MC into a tailspin for Chapter 2. And, yeah it is a reasonably accurate depiction of mental illness, but mental illness is bleak and depressing. And bleak and depressing is a TERRIBLE vehicle to convey porn. Porn (and sex) is a more light and cheery subject when compared to the abject misery of borderline suicidal ideations.
In real life, I've been a nurse for over 30 years. Much of that time dealing with the mentally ill. I simply couldn't make it through chapter 2, the MC's whining became insufferable to me. And I simply quit the game. But I have to accept that the writing might have been too close to a day at work for me to be able to relax rather than critique it.
So, if you are looking for some fun times with girls in the porn genre, this game MIGHT not be for you. If you are into a psychological mind fuck, your time and money MIGHT be better spent on this than on Drifty's (awful, terrible, abysmal) 'Leap of faith.'
On the other hand, at least Drifty FINISHED 'Leap of Faith,' and this game might possibly be dead. So there's that too...
maybe, maybe not.. judging by the statistical example set by other devs, a pre-purchase on an incomplete game means the game will never be complete. it is a faulty business model. pre-purchase and/or subscription model means there is a financial incentive to never finish the game.
I'm not sure that's entirely true. 359 games, the guy that made the game "Mist" had presales and a patreon subscription. When he completed Mist, he started making a new game called "Covenant of Morn". So the incentive would be to continue to make new and better games, ad transfer the patreon to the new one.
While Mist has its own amazing charm and is one of my absolute favorite games. You can REALLY tell that he learned a LOT from making it, and the new one, "Morn", is that much better in quality, both visual and entertaining wise,
your fallacy of the anecdote is invalid. we are discussing the general community, not your strange and highly unusual very specific example that in no way represents the statistical average..
Hi I just paid for the game twice but it is not showing up in my owned games and I never got a email saying i purchased it but it did take my money can someone help

Adult Game Reviewshas given this game a dead certificate.
If so...
Iwanna thank the author for the good things he did.
Thanks for the well written women.
Thanks for the good chess games.
Thanks for the greatly original mechanics who are even protagonists too and seem sometimes like to be in an 'Inside Out' adult game.
Thanks for the character struggling with his own mind sanity and senses of ethics and validatioon. Quite identified in it.
Thanks for the well written plot.
Thanks for the game.
True.

As always, buyer beware.
damn
Daaaamn this game is so good! Sad it seems dead
Such a great game. Hope the dev comes back one day to finish it.
My favorite adult game. But I think the creator is searching for his inspiration.
update when?
Have to say, this game is AMAZING! Keep up the great work!
Is there any news on the update to this game or is it dead.
not the game, just the dev. covid got him
Is the dev dead
yeah, covid took out 50% of the population of china bro
Great game, I love it. It's one of my favourites... so I can't wait to see what happens next. When will it be available here?
Each update is released at the same time on Itch, Steam and Patreon. The next update is still a few months away.
This game is amazing! Is there still an update coming? Please don't let it die.
a few corrections to chapter 7
MC to Monika
"So, Have you starting dating again? Or even just looking?"
could be
"So, have you started dating again, or are you just looking?"
(Starting MUST be "Started" the rest is optional)
later...
Olivia says
"But i was young and stupid and enjoyed the attention so i kept "teased" him
should be "Teasing him"
maybe pass the whole text to chat gpt to ask for obvious errors ?
So....I'm going to be the guy to point out cuckquean should be cuckqueen on the dominant skills area....
Nope, cuckquean is the proper spelling.
Will there be impreg?
This is a good question, I would also like to know lol.
No impreg planned.
one day it will be complete 🤧
maybe, maybe not..

And you're just assuming that it will never be complete because a bunch of others didn't complete theirs. that's a conjecture in itself.
that, my dear manual worker, probably a janitor, is statistics.
can i get a steamkey? i purchased this here
any chance that those of us who bought the game on here prior to the steam release will be given steam keys?
Hi I just paid for the game twice but it is not showing up in my owned games and I never got a email saying i purchased it but it did take my money can someone help
Sorry to hear about that.
I didn't receive any notification or money from your purchase(s), so I don't think the purchase( was completed.
What you're experiencing sounds very similar to what was described in this thread:
