I have no doubt that they will deserve the punch. It just annoys me when the PC is given a free pass for all the stuff they generally get up to in adult games, so it's nice to see the NPCs in this game react when the PC is being an idiot / creepy / whatever. I'm glad alternative routes will be available (I'm aware of how much extra work that can be, so thanks.) I especially like how you can just ask for things in the current build rather than having to steal them!

Yeah, creating alternative routes will be a ton of extra work, but it's central to the idea of this game, so it's necessary. At the moment, everything is on the same branch, but eventually things will start to diverge. As the time limit gets reintroduced, different players will also diverge in where they choose to place their focus. For their first playthrough, most players are unlikely to be able to see everything even in the branch they are going for, so they have to pick and choose where they want to put their attention. This is going to be a pretty big game by the time I'm done with it, hopefully with a whole bunch of replayability.

OK, I held off with playing this game for a while to let you develop it (I'm tired of playing 0.1 versions of games with barely any content) but now I played it and can give some feedback.

Firstly, calling back to what I mentioned earlier, Belle (the fairy character that is, not you). At first I was wondering if you'd been trying to make her as annoying as physically possible, because you'd certainly been successful, and and one or two points I almost wanted my character to swat her out of the air, but as the story goes on she becomes less insufferable, more entertaining and amusing, and more interesting as a character (particularly as she stops constantly threatening to murder you on a whim). Her dick-riding scene is the hottest part of the game, and I really want to see where the relationship between you and her goes- I'm assuming that spell she mentioned but refused to elaborate on relates to size-shifting, but frankly I'd like it if the two of you get up to more sexual shenanigans just as she is (maybe eating out her tiny pussy?), since I have a big thing (wink wink) for minigirls. Oh, but can she stop calling you "virgin" after you at least have sex with Samarra? Just doesn't make sense. And maybe a few less pop culture/4th wall-breaking references.

At the start of the game, the player character hit one of my porn game pet peeves in what a LOSER he is. I know this is a common trope in these kinds of games (to give you room to grow into competence as you upgrade your skills and respect as you develop your relationships) but it's frankly annoying how the character you always have to play in these games is always so utterly pathetic in every single way- lazy, stupid, weak, cowardly, lecherous, selfish, and disrespected by absolutely everyone because they're all fully aware of it. It makes roleplaying as this character a frustrating experience. Working your way out of it is a slow process, and I get the feeling that even as you develop your stats you're not really becoming more WORTHY of respect, just forcing people to give it to you by either tricking them or taking advantage of them, while still remaining more or less the same feckless, lecherous loser.

Actually, that's another thing that bothers me- as far as I've found, there's almost no sex you can get that isn't completely skeevy, except from Samarra and Belle. Is there going to be ANY other sex in the game you can get without either basically raping girls in their sleep or literally brainwashing them (particularly in the case of Evelyn and Callie, neither of whom would ever sleep with you under normal circumstances)? I guess that's a big part of the game's focus, but variety is key in these games. Nell isn't quite so bad though, her naivete has a certain charm to it and the idea of teaching her about sex is rather appealing.

Speaking of the sex, I'm not sure what the actual POINT of the night molestation scenes is, aside from jack-off material (which is its own point, of course, but there should be more to it). The tutorial made it seem that molesting girls at night is an important part of the game, but it doesn't seem to actually AFFECT anything (unless, presumably, you screw up by getting almost caught at it too many times). I initially thought it was how you raise perversity, but that (eventually) turned out to be reading porn books in the library (which would be very easy to miss if you don't pay enough attention to Primrose's route early on). There doesn't seem to be anything else to DO at night, unless there's a story-related one-off event.

I do like the girls a lot, though. Belle aside, they're an appealing set of characters. They look like the default 3D models that every hack 3D pornmaker is using at first glance, but closer inspection shows them to be nice custom jobs, particularly the breasts. I like the idea that you learn early on that Callie is just a straight-up lesbian and you won't be able to sleep with her until you out-and-out brainwash her, but you can still relate with her regardless, and Primrose's personal story is pretty interesting. Nell is probably my favourite after Belle, her model is just so damn pretty and her personality is endearing. Samarra is a bit of a stereotype, though.

I DO really like the gameplay, such as it is. The collecting clues mechanic and using them during Invade Mind is actual good gameplay, if a bit simplistic at the moment (none of the puzzles are even remotely challenging except when they require you to make a totally wild guess at things). There currently aren't enough clues you can find by searching a location, which makes the option to do so a bit useless at the moment, but I think the system has so much potential to make the game more interesting in future updates. Normally I tend to resent when developers try to crowbar in unrequired "gamepley" into a porn game that ultimately just makes getting the porn into hard work, but this isn't one of those cases. Needs more development, though.

I like the game and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes from here. Particularly if it involves sexy funtimes with a tiny, slutty fairy.

Thanks for taking the time, both to play the game and to give so much feedback.

Oh, but can she stop calling you "virgin" after you at least have sex with Samarra? Just doesn't make sense.

It's in the works, but currently a low priority. The idea is that her nicknames for you will be dynamic and will develop over time, but currently they are hardcoded, which leads to strange situations like what you describe. It'll get better.

And maybe a few less pop culture/4th wall-breaking references.

For Belle? Nah. She's supposed to be a flying anachronism (though I don't want to take it too far), as if she's somehow out of place in the setting, knows it, but just doesn't care.

Is there going to be ANY other sex in the game you can get without either basically raping girls in their sleep or literally brainwashing them

Yes. The problem right now is that the more "romantic" stories take a lot longer to brew before they get anywhere, while the mind control and molestation is more immediate in its results. You will have plenty of opportunities to seduce many of these girls in more traditional ways, but it's a late-game thing for the most part. Things are also going to become a little different once the plot moves into the Fey Court, which is going to happen relatively soon.

Speaking of the sex, I'm not sure what the actual POINT of the night molestation scenes is, aside from jack-off material

There's not much point. They're there because I wanted to make them, and they are unimportant because I assume that a lot of players don't find them appealing. As such, they will always be optional. However, you will be able to achieve some things through them at a later date, though these things should also be achievable in other ways.

I do like the girls a lot, though. Belle aside, they're an appealing set of characters.

Thanks! I come from a background of writing more "serious" literature, and I always try to write my characters as if they're actual people first and foremost. I want them to feel genuine. My biggest hope is that at least a few of them will evoke actual emotions in my players as the story progresses.

Normally I tend to resent when developers try to crowbar in unrequired "gamepley" into a porn game that ultimately just makes getting the porn into hard work, but this isn't one of those cases.

Me too. Most "gameplay" in porn games is nothing but busywork intended to do nothing but stretch out the game's running time, and they rely way too much on random number generators. I'm writing a game where every part of it should feel lovingly handcrafted with absolutely no randomness. There isn't even a random number generator in my code. Ideally, the game should be fun to play even without the porn.

Particularly if it involves sexy funtimes with a tiny, slutty fairy.

Oh, you know it will. ;)

I don't want to risk any spoiling anything so I'll be brief and indirect in my question.
I found a note on my bed and since then all of my collected clues have disappeared from my inventory, is this supposed to happen or will the game need to be reset? I can't seem to progress past the morning after in the current version

You aren't supposed to lose all your clues when that happens, but you may lose one or two that are no longer needed. Make sure you aren't stuck on another page in the clue screen. Hmm, I'm wondering if there might be a bug here where if you are on page 2 and you lose enough clues that this page is no longer needed, you won't see the arrows to move back to page 1 anymore. I'll look into it, but if that is the case, you have to reload a save. Sorry.

How many days does it take the Princess to arrive?

Undecided so far. She doesn't arrive at all in this version if that's what you're asking. The final number of days will depend on what the rest of the game looks like by the time we get there. I'm probably eventually just going to sit down and fill in a spreadsheet (a fan helpfully made one for me months ago) to see how much time is required to do everything if playing perfectly, then use that as a basis to arrive at a final value. I'm currently expecting a number between 40 and 60, but we'll see.

Oh, I assumed she just arrived on day 30 (I vaguely remember someone, possibly your uncle, saying you had "one month" to get your Truthsayer abilities up to scratch) so I stopped playing once I thought I'd found most of the stuff around day 16-17 so I didn't waste too much time when I resumed on the next version. This might need clarification, as the game SEEMS like it's one of those ones where you're on a very tight schedule and have to choose what you do and what you skip before the ending, requiring NG+ playthroughs to get a "golden" ending (which is probably is, but it's apparently not quite as tight as it initially seemed).

It's going to get clarified in a future version once the timeline solidifies, but right now it would be a little premature. The game currently doesn't have a time limit, but there will be one in the final version and it will be pretty tight. Any references to time until the princess arrives will become more specific then.

You know, the problem with the name 'Erato' is that, even though I know it's the name of the Greek muse of lyric poetry, it makes me think of the big green trashbag monster from the Dr. Who episode 'The Creature from the Pit'...

Also, still no more sex with Belle yet? I know good things come to those who wait, but it's seriously the #1 thing I'm here for...

"The phallic appearance of Erato's proboscis forced an overnight addition of pincers to the prop, following bouts of uncontrolled laughter in the studio."

You skill up Perversity by reading porn books at the Library. You get the porn books by going through Primrose's story until she asks you to break into her house and steal them from her father.

She took the porn books from the library for her father. If you work at the library you can find out the books are missing, and from there it's pretty straightforward to find all the clues.

The thing with her father threw me of at first. I found *no* hint for that, so I just got it via trial and error :D
Still, most of the clues for invading peoples midns are easy to find.
Nell specificly was so easy I thought that I needed more info =P

I designed it so that it would throw you for a loop. By not stating the answer outright in advance, I would force the player to think outside the box.

That was waaaaay too far outside the box in my humble opinion...
Well, thanks to the comfy functions of RenPy, reselecting a choice is not really that difficulty =P

The first time I was just kind of guessing, since I assumed when the quest started that it would end with the player discovering she has a kinky side. But I save before using the spells on girls (a good habit for this game) so it only took 2 tries to learn her small secret. Now I'm just waiting for an update that includes the other 2 large secrets... and more agility training for nighttime fun.
