Finished as much as I can, now to find the 2 hamsters that I missed, pretty early on from the looks of it (Hamster #6 and #14 missing) I really like how you handled the Church stuff. The way you paint Ori as misguided, and Bishop Saito as a good guy, while treating Gob and...I don't remember the other guy, Yua?... as villainous scum (which they are) is enjoyable for me, like "The church might be evil, but not everyone in the church is". I also loved finding out who was "the stalker", wasn't who I was thinking (but made sense).
Of the classmates of Chika, I would say I love them all, but for different reasons. Best one for me is either Suzu or Miko. And the teacher, and the nurse, and Miri, and... OK OK I really like a ton of the cast!
I like that there isn't really a "main girl" either. Suzu kind of becomes one, but she's not the only one, several women play important roles. I REALLY like that you give everyone major a distinct personality, and even the more minor ones are enjoyable (Ino).
If there is any complaint (outside of waiting eagerly for the next update!), it's leaving a bunch of things unresolved. Who was that weirdo that tried to kill Suzu? (PLEASE don't say he's a Wolverine knockoff) Is Jun's slimeball father part of some criminal group? Who wrecked the apartment? Why does the MC keep attracting gorgeous babes, all of whom love him in some way? Can Perrine quit being Machi's familiar to become mine? (OK, that one might just be me wanting to see more of the adorable Perrine).
As far as the unresolved matters go, all I can say is that most of them aren't "unresolved" as much as they are "unresolved so far" if you catch my drift. Just give it some time. :)
So long as "Kicking Jun's father's butt and making him regret dealing with the MC, if not outright killing the bastard" is part of the deal! Jun's a sweetheart and her Dad is a psycho!
Caffeinated Jun might be terrifying, but I think caffeinated Nagisa might actually help her made sense sometimes! She's definitely out there with her thoughts...
Day 7, so I'm assuming still pretty early, but this is a really wonderful game. Finding out Suzu's, Aki's, and Yukari's dark secrets has been super interesting, seeing Jun's relationship with her parents, and seeing Hana's struggles... you definitely have a way with words and with drawing people in! When I look at the clock and find out it's been 4 hours because it's so dang interesting, that's really impressive!
Regarding the hamsters, THINK I'm missing a couple, at least, there's 2 missing pictures. Found one before it said "yo, Hamster here!" and it moved a few times, like "yes, you see me!" Fun little side quest thing!
@Virtigo I have to say, I downloaded this game as a side-bar curiosity, as I saw it mentioned in another game. Good god, how happy I am I did. It's awesome. So kudos to you sir/ma'am, the game just keeps giving. The depth is astonishing. Thank you.
Gave this a go, and daaaaaaaaamn is this deep! Don't think I'm all that far yet, but what is initially a murder mystery turns into something very complex and very complicated. Not sure who I like the most so far - each of the girls is very thought out and interesting. Definitely love that there is so much more than it first appears!
Really like the game, a lot of content so far. When I saw I was playing version 0.40 of a game I immediately felt bad because I thought it would be like 20 minutes of playtime but was left impressed at both the length and writing quality.
That being said, I have like 2 gripes with the content so far. Feel free to ignore them, I'm not a writer or anything, but this is just what I felt (sorry if I sound a bit harsh especially at the end, I don't really know how to rephrase that part of the review in a more polite manner without losing some of the meaning).
First (and least important), lack of blood during defloration, as someone else below also said just diminishes the momentous impact the "first time" is supposed to have. Author said they personally don't like it though, so it's fine. (perhaps a "blood" toggle?), it's not THAT big of a deal.
Secondly, I see there are some advertised tags such as "objectification", "impact play", "free use", "BDSM" etc. Those are not really present in the game (CERTAINLY not any amount of BDSM by any stretch), the only type of sex that happens in this game is vanilla. The game felt to me like it was overwhelmingly safe and vanilla at every single point, and every time I thought it would deviate from that even a little bit and allow (at least through a choice) a different route, like an omnipresent force the plot is inevitably pulled back down to just pure, viscous saccharine vanilla. Every time sex happens, it is exclusively vanilla, and consent is always voiced articulated and extremely clear every single time. In fact, when sex actually happens it's often the girls who initiate it. In my opinion, this is the one thing that drags the story down quite a bit.
A lot of situations clearly are made to feel like they are going to go a certain way, but then they inevitably resolve in a safe, PG-13 way, and the mc only actually has sex with the girl 5 chapters later after 20 dates and exchanged messages, and usually after the girl initiates and asks to have sex, so the initial situations almost feel like bait.
Couple of examples I can think of, off the top of my head (spoilers below): Mc pinning Suzu in his room then just letting her go, her then LITERALLY asking him to sleep with her and mc doesn't make a move at all (??? is he just gay), Jun in MC room (no comment, she was literally wetting herself for him and mc didn't do anything, they still haven't had sex btw).
The most glaring example though (and the one that made me write this review) is Ookami on the roof. Once again you have MC overpower and pin down a girl, she clearly expects him to take her there because of the pack rules or whatever, even invites him to do it ('...so what are you going to do?"), the ENTIRE scene as well as previous encounters with her seem to lead up to this, then MC just lets her get up and tells her to stay safe.... That was just unbelievably ridiculous, disappointing and just looked like a massive bait and switch. MC and Ookami eventually just end up going on dates, he takes her to dinner etc. which is what he literally does with almost every other girl as well, squandering all the build-up and uniqueness of her situation and their relationship until then, as they might as well at that point just be two regular people who met up on tinder and started dating.
Also, the hotel thing and the increasing number of characters make the plot a bit hard to follow by the last chapter, and it feels like MC is constantly interrupted mid-sex with a girl/pair of girls by another pair of girls, who he then goes on to have sex with but then gets interrupted by another group of girls who he then goes on to have sex with but...etc.
THAT being said though, the game is otherwise good, and since for my favorite girl's (Miko) storyline, purely saccharine, simple vanilla actually happens to fit well enough, I'm not actually that pressed, and will be looking forward to the next update. I just wish different routes would have been taken for the storylines where that would make more sense.
Honestly, if you are getting the proper read on the MC, he would never force himself on any woman, for a number of reasons (completely discounting the fact that he obviously doesn't have to) primarily because he is a good person. The kind of "play" you're referring to isn't done with strangers. Consenting adults that know and trust each other can do such things, but for near-strangers, the line is NOT fine between consent and SA, and that is something this story has expressly avoided. The other thing you have to remember is that the MC is a cop-- however much he's bent the law to help his growing family, he is definitely not going to go that direction unless he is absolutely certain that is what his partner wants. This is as it should be, if we're talking about this MC. Kink and outright SA are two different things. The "objectification" kink was actually discussed with a myth he was introduced to in the storyline (clearly, something planned in a future chapter). We haven't seen much BDSM, but the story is still growing, and several actors are very plainly still waiting for introduction. The MC is a decent person, so I rather doubt you'll see any sex that isn't explicitly consensual in the story. Cuckoldry has also been ruled out, which means that no matter how vile the villains, we also don't have to worry about our lovely ladies being violated like that, either. As far as I can tell, it's simply not that kind of story... and from what I've read, it never will be. I'm pretty sure everyone's ok with that, too. I hope that clears up a bit of your confusion. I'm not the author, but I have played through the story so far enough times to know that the MC isn't gay, but he IS chivalrous... and that means knowing when NOT to pillage, when not to push, when to listen,and how to be patient. This story has depth, and is actually amazing. There is a LOT of build up for some of the characters (you specifically mentioned Jun) but if I remember correctly, there was also a warning in the introduction that this story was a "slow-burn", and if you were looking for otherwise, you might be disappointed... that's a perfect example. Again, I hope this clears up some of your confusion on the choices the author of this wonderful story has made. Cheers!
This game is amazing, the time put into the story really shows. But i have a question, with all the catgirls and wolfgirls, is there a chance of a foxgirl?
I love this game and look forward to every update! I decided to replay the whole thing to refresh myself on side characters and finally noted something... Any chance of us finding Mana's older sister? It stood out to me that we have her photo from that magazine but Mana seems to think she's gone. Could it be that her family just lied about it? Anyway, my hopeful speculations aside, again, I love this game!
Uncharacteristically, I decided to play two versions in a row, as I was very curious about the events of day 13. In hindsight, it was obviously foolish of me to expect the entire day to be added in one update, when version/day proportion is evident. Still, I'm glad that Hibiki's amulet situation is finally resolved and the car looked great, but I digress.
Some thoughts that I forgot to mention last time:
I know that I'm in a minority when it comes to this in the AVN community, but I dislike the absence of blood during defloration. I can disregard it for Miri's case, but not with Suzu and Mana. It just diminishes the significance of the first time.
Speaking of Mana, I find it very odd that her mother isn't mentioned a single time since the rescue. Perhaps this is resolved in the next version, when she talks with Ren, but it's still weird to me.
Lastly, a couple of technical things, which perhaps others have mentioned already: Machi's profile still shows Anzou as her surname, I believe it should change to Kagekai after the topic is discussed? Yui's, Okami's and Inawyin's(her latest) scenes are missing from the gallery. Just letting you know in case you weren't aware.
Anyway, that's it. I hope you don't mind my long-ass comments.
I'm looking forward to the continuation of the story!
Adding a whole day per update would be nice but it'd either shrink down the days significantly, or increase the development time by a lot. There will be an overlength update soon, where we go through a whole chain of events back to back, but I can't say how much longer it's gonna be in comparison to the usual update length. I assume at least twice the size, though.
The lack of blood during defloration might be a tad unrealistic, but a) there isn't always visible blood during defloration and b) I'm personally not a fan of it in AVN, so I decided to just leave it out.
Her mother is coming up as a topic in the next update, yes. There was just no point in mentioning her so far. MC doesn't have too much of a reason to think about her and Mana doesn't have any news to relay regarding her mother. Until now.
Changing Machi's last name to Anzou is actually a fair point. I had completely glossed over that. I'll see about adding that for next update. The gallery scenes (except for Inaywin's latest one, which has been fixed for next update) are in the gallery on the in-game phone. The gallery in the main menu has been deactivated for next version and will stay that way until I've reworked it - hence it not being up-to-date. I appreciate the reminder, though.
I don't mind your comments. It's always nice to see when someone's invested in the game/story. :)
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't complaining about the amount of content or anything like that. You do it at the pace that works for you. It was just a bit of a funny situation for me, since I don't usually don't play AVNs every update. However, since I was really curious about the upcoming events(Inaywin coming over for the necklace, talking to Kagome, then Kana, Kuro telling us more), I said "fuck it" and decided to play the next update. Then it ended quicker than anticipated and after staring at the screen for ~5 seconds I though "Yeah, 0.39 ended on the first seconds of day 13, so why the fuck would you expect an entire day 13 in 0.40, idiot..."
I can't say that I resonate with your reasoning in regards to Mana's mother. Considering the situation she was in, and Ren being more or less the one who got her out of it... After a couple of chats, not even a simple "How is your mom doing?". I understand that he doesn't have any personal interest in her, but a friend's mother by default should be above random strangers in the list one cares about. Extremely weird. Anyway, it's a minor detail and perhaps was discussed enough already. I say "it's strange", you say "it's not", we move on. It's not something that makes the whole story fall apart, so I don't want to harp on it more.
I do, however, beg of you to find a different model for the boar. Please.
You're not wrong about Mana's mom. Asking about how she's been between Sunday and the current point in time in-game would have made sense. It just didn't happen.. yet. But as I said, it's about to happen in the upcoming Mana/Hina scene. Sure, it could've been earlier, but I feel like it doesn't make that much of a difference. This honestly probably comes from how I am as a person, though - I likely wouldn't have asked before seeing Mana in person, either; a conversation like that is best had eye to eye, imo. Buuuut, that's probably also influenced by my knowing that it'll become a whole conversation point instead of a quick side question during a chat. Anyway, you're right, it's not too important either way - I just felt like explaining where I come from with it. There's not really any right or wrong to these things anyway. They either are or aren't. :P
What's wrong with Mr. Scott's model, though? He's from some game or another, isn't he? :D
Eww,lesbo stuff. I'm out. Lost a possible customer right there. Next time or next game, if you want customers like me and our money, put up clear options. Just a friendly suggestion, have a nice day.
not gonna lie, relationships between girls are one of the best things this vn has going for it.
and imo there are a lot of those on full display here - i love it for all the character interactions, interpersonal relationships, plot/lore/attention to details, everyone having their own agency and ethos, mc being an actually good person and not just a "nice guy" among many other things.
so yeah, please kindly move along.
writers and fiction in general do not exist to cater to everyone's fetishes/kinks or just general preferences, and i would pick a good, nicely written tale over something brimming with things i should theoretically like every time, if it lacks the makings of a good story - after all, there are a lot of people who would like a good novel with some spice rather than a full on porn thingy with some mediocre writing, regardless of visual/etc quality of said porn content.
tl;dr: you do your thing Vertigo, we all love you for that and being true to yourself and your love child <3
Broooooo the fuckin cliffhangars are gettin diabolical, you bastard. I love you, im too invested in the world bro WTF.as weird as it sounds it feels like i need to binge this game wait until a few update before i play again like its netflix Lol. Keep up the good work tho!
Love the purple cat music. I just wish the updates were a bit bigger, you force me to play the game from the begining just to get my fix. I love this game, good job broski.
Just outta curiosity here, is there a way to get a hold of a guide as to where all the hamsters are? While waiting on the next update I found myself going through the story again on a massive hamster hunt and I wanna make sure I got them all up til now on the current version
There's also an in-game option to show a notification of when a hamster's on-screen, just gotta flick it on and select which way you'd like to be hinted.

No incest, but there is the odd tomboy in the game, yeah.
Just a quick reminder that your game is awesome 💯
Thank you!
Finished as much as I can, now to find the 2 hamsters that I missed, pretty early on from the looks of it (Hamster #6 and #14 missing) I really like how you handled the Church stuff. The way you paint Ori as misguided, and Bishop Saito as a good guy, while treating Gob and...I don't remember the other guy, Yua?... as villainous scum (which they are) is enjoyable for me, like "The church might be evil, but not everyone in the church is". I also loved finding out who was "the stalker", wasn't who I was thinking (but made sense).
Of the classmates of Chika, I would say I love them all, but for different reasons. Best one for me is either Suzu or Miko. And the teacher, and the nurse, and Miri, and... OK OK I really like a ton of the cast!

Why does the MC keep attracting gorgeous babes, all of whom love him in some way? Can Perrine quit being Machi's familiar to become mine? (OK, that one might just be me wanting to see more of the adorable Perrine).
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
As far as the unresolved matters go, all I can say is that most of them aren't "unresolved" as much as they are "unresolved so far" if you catch my drift.
Just give it some time. :)
So long as "Kicking Jun's father's butt and making him regret dealing with the MC, if not outright killing the bastard" is part of the deal! Jun's a sweetheart and her Dad is a psycho!
Let me put it like this: We haven't seen the last of him yet and everyone gets what they deserve in life eventually. :P
Caffeinated Jun might be terrifying, but I think caffeinated Nagisa might actually help her made sense sometimes! She's definitely out there with her thoughts...
Day 7, so I'm assuming still pretty early, but this is a really wonderful game. Finding out Suzu's, Aki's, and Yukari's dark secrets has been super interesting, seeing Jun's relationship with her parents, and seeing Hana's struggles... you definitely have a way with words and with drawing people in!

Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words! :)
@Virtigo I have to say, I downloaded this game as a side-bar curiosity, as I saw it mentioned in another game. Good god, how happy I am I did. It's awesome. So kudos to you sir/ma'am, the game just keeps giving. The depth is astonishing. Thank you.
Thanks! I'm happy to hear that you enjoy the game. :)

Hehe spread the heresy
Gave this a go, and daaaaaaaaamn is this deep! Don't think I'm all that far yet, but what is initially a murder mystery turns into something very complex and very complicated. Not sure who I like the most so far - each of the girls is very thought out and interesting. Definitely love that there is so much more than it first appears!
SUZU IS BEST GURL!
YES
One quick question in the upcoming updates are there going to be any events to further kagome and Kana's relationship with the MC.
Yeah, v0.42 will have events for both Kana and Kagome respectively
Small and inconsequential nitpick; If they are in japan shouldn't they have the steering wheel on the other side?
Other than that, this is really good stuff.
... And MCs face looks like a potato, that's weird
... And I am pretty sure that is not how you conduct a murder investigation
... AAAND that's irrelevant because we are here fore cute girls not for Columbo... or potatoes
Some of them do, but not all - by design. :)
MC is a potato, what do you mean? That's his superpower.
And who's to say that murder investigations aren't like that in the future? Nobody knows!
Really like the game, a lot of content so far. When I saw I was playing version 0.40 of a game I immediately felt bad because I thought it would be like 20 minutes of playtime but was left impressed at both the length and writing quality.

Cant wait for more updates, been playing since day one and I just want to wait faster.
If only that was a thing, right? Fingers crossed for commercial cryo-sleep soon. :P
Waiting faster + induced memory loss would be awesome, so I can re-read all of it and experience it for the first time once more.
I know a guy, but his success rate is only about 12% for memory loss without nasty side effects, and his methods are questionable at best :P
Ah yes, the forgetme stick.
This game is amazing, the time put into the story really shows. But i have a question, with all the catgirls and wolfgirls, is there a chance of a foxgirl?
Thank you! Without wanting to spoiler too much, let me just say that, yes, there is definitely a chance for that. :P
I'm looking forward to what you have in-store for everyone!
I'm all about fox girls, but I need more Quoth, damnit!
:D
I love this game and look forward to every update! I decided to replay the whole thing to refresh myself on side characters and finally noted something... Any chance of us finding Mana's older sister? It stood out to me that we have her photo from that magazine but Mana seems to think she's gone. Could it be that her family just lied about it? Anyway, my hopeful speculations aside, again, I love this game!
Nice observation! Whether we'll find her or not.. well, who knows? Her family could have lied about it, indeed. I guess we'll have to wait and see. :P
Glad you enjoy CH! Thanks for playing!
Honestly, just knowing its still on the table is good enough for me! Thank you!
Uncharacteristically, I decided to play two versions in a row, as I was very curious about the events of day 13.

The gallery in the main menu has been deactivated for next version and will stay that way until I've reworked it - hence it not being up-to-date. I appreciate the reminder, though.
I don't mind your comments. It's always nice to see when someone's invested in the game/story. :)
Thanks! I shall deliver more soon-ish!
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't complaining about the amount of content or anything like that. You do it at the pace that works for you. It was just a bit of a funny situation for me, since I don't usually don't play AVNs every update. However, since I was really curious about the upcoming events(Inaywin coming over for the necklace, talking to Kagome, then Kana, Kuro telling us more), I said "fuck it" and decided to play the next update. Then it ended quicker than anticipated and after staring at the screen for ~5 seconds I though "Yeah, 0.39 ended on the first seconds of day 13, so why the fuck would you expect an entire day 13 in 0.40, idiot..."
I can't say that I resonate with your reasoning in regards to Mana's mother. Considering the situation she was in, and Ren being more or less the one who got her out of it... After a couple of chats, not even a simple "How is your mom doing?". I understand that he doesn't have any personal interest in her, but a friend's mother by default should be above random strangers in the list one cares about. Extremely weird. Anyway, it's a minor detail and perhaps was discussed enough already. I say "it's strange", you say "it's not", we move on. It's not something that makes the whole story fall apart, so I don't want to harp on it more.
I do, however, beg of you to find a different model for the boar. Please.
Yeah, I get you, it's all good lol
You're not wrong about Mana's mom. Asking about how she's been between Sunday and the current point in time in-game would have made sense. It just didn't happen.. yet. But as I said, it's about to happen in the upcoming Mana/Hina scene. Sure, it could've been earlier, but I feel like it doesn't make that much of a difference.
This honestly probably comes from how I am as a person, though - I likely wouldn't have asked before seeing Mana in person, either; a conversation like that is best had eye to eye, imo. Buuuut, that's probably also influenced by my knowing that it'll become a whole conversation point instead of a quick side question during a chat.
Anyway, you're right, it's not too important either way - I just felt like explaining where I come from with it. There's not really any right or wrong to these things anyway. They either are or aren't. :P
What's wrong with Mr. Scott's model, though? He's from some game or another, isn't he? :D
I sent you a DM on Discord.
Are you sure that you sent it my way? Cause I don't have any new DMs or requests
Is the game story completed
Not even close
The game is at maybe its halfway point? Plus minus.
Eww,lesbo stuff. I'm out. Lost a possible customer right there. Next time or next game, if you want customers like me and our money, put up clear options. Just a friendly suggestion, have a nice day.
Yeah, I'm good, thanks.
not gonna lie, relationships between girls are one of the best things this vn has going for it.
and imo there are a lot of those on full display here - i love it for all the character interactions, interpersonal relationships, plot/lore/attention to details, everyone having their own agency and ethos, mc being an actually good person and not just a "nice guy" among many other things.
so yeah, please kindly move along.
writers and fiction in general do not exist to cater to everyone's fetishes/kinks or just general preferences, and i would pick a good, nicely written tale over something brimming with things i should theoretically like every time, if it lacks the makings of a good story - after all, there are a lot of people who would like a good novel with some spice rather than a full on porn thingy with some mediocre writing, regardless of visual/etc quality of said porn content.
tl;dr: you do your thing Vertigo, we all love you for that and being true to yourself and your love child <3
Read and appreciated. Thanks, mate. :)
Broooooo the fuckin cliffhangars are gettin diabolical, you bastard. I love you, im too invested in the world bro WTF.as weird as it sounds it feels like i need to binge this game wait until a few update before i play again like its netflix Lol. Keep up the good work tho!
Haha, thanks, mate, I appreciate that!
Love the purple cat music. I just wish the updates were a bit bigger, you force me to play the game from the begining just to get my fix. I love this game, good job broski.
Just outta curiosity here, is there a way to get a hold of a guide as to where all the hamsters are? While waiting on the next update I found myself going through the story again on a massive hamster hunt and I wanna make sure I got them all up til now on the current version
there is a guide on the discord
There's also an in-game option to show a notification of when a hamster's on-screen, just gotta flick it on and select which way you'd like to be hinted.
Minor bug: This line:
$ yui_pet_attempts = []
needs to be *before* the jump label, because right now, it is nuking yui_pet_attempts when it jumps back.
Woops, yeah you're absolutely right. Thanks for pointing that out!
