I fucking loves games like this. It's not just a happy fappy porn game, it's a story with elements of sex.

Don't get me wrong, I do play some by the numbers' porn games, but it's good to have games SoP to balance it out a bit.
I've never seen a better written AVN, at least on this site. I don’t even know how to describe it—it just pulls you into its narrative like no other, imho.

Unlike most games, I find that I really care about the two girls (and the MC), they feel like real people. So there's some great writing there, and add the great renders and we have this lovely gem of a game.

I think "Unbroken" might be at the same level or "Zero End" ( (which might be worse in term of writing, but man, this setting), but all of those games having soo much less supporters than the games within university setting and with really good animations and mediocre story. It is what it is.

Well ... this is a hugely flavourful game with a rich dialogue and a full host of character building scenes and scenarios where we explore the inner workings of the girls, both in mind and body: a fiancee who is headding to a wedding but is easy flirty falling for the hired help - bar tenders are the easiest of prey for the customers, which is why they are mostly female and seemingly single to attract the males who are hell bent on drinking their sorrows away ... while if you want females, you put MC or his BFF to bartend and ”steal” girls away from their usual predatory man eating habbits: MC is basically the choffeur unpaid chaperone to the little sister FWB, while being the rebound puppy doll male whore to the other lady, who is literally engaged and supposedly headding to her wedding. These are interesting and alluring scenarios that would never happen: the little sister showing the literal best friend of her brother how many FWB buddies she has and how she has to manage their expectations, just like a ”courtesan” or escort tending to her loyal customers.

The disbelief is surreal, which is why this is a porn game, no question. MC slips literally into their lives at this venue he is staffing, just like any usual James Bond adventure you can watch in any old or new movie about irresistable males who are eaten up by man eating hotties.

Truth be told, though, MC and the best friend do tell and treat the girls, both of them, as high school juniors to them, at least, with MC having cramps and cobwebs all over his lower regions and giving out the most dismay-infused performance for any older dude; if this was even a whiff of realistic, MC would suddenly feel like Superman if he was to bang such a young, carefree, insatiable pansexual FWB hottie. Yet we have this story and this MC. This is still a high school/junior high story with the older male banging the young clueless or literally lost much younger bombshell.

Enjoy!

Totally disagree with you

First

It totally depends on the person. And you don't have to be a 25/30/35 brutal man who comes to a woman and asks about kids and gifts and stuff. We are human beings and we feel things differently. Because we were born in different places/raised by different parents, and I could go on for quite a while. You might ask why I'm even writing this comment if I feel this way, but maybe I'm just a hopeless optimist hoping to change someone's mind :unsure:

Second - And in this point we will talk about Becca

Yea it started as "basically the choffeur unpaid chaperone" but the story continues and characters grow. And in the end of chapter 1 we find

Third. And this one will be about Amy

Here will be even easier. There is one screen that destroy all of your comments about how Amy search for replacement and "is easy flirty falling for the hired help - bar tenders are the easiest of prey for the customers"

But to tell you the truth, I'm not deluded and I think, at least right now, that we won't get a happy ending for both girls :cry:. Unfortunately, that's how life works, and in some part you are right. But in most of it, directly from the game and how Becca and Amy interact with the MC, you are definitely wrong.

But if everything ends well and we have a happy ending, that would be the best gift for all fans.
:love:

I am a sucker for good stories. I play visual novels for the unique and quirky narratives people come up and its an overarching ambition to write a story myself one day.

As someone who is so inclined, novels like this are a gem. The pacing is steady, the characters are lively and the story is strong. A bit of an inception moment with the author writing a character who also strives to be a successful novelist but its interesting to see how the creative writing process for the MC is something that could provide a window into the author's motivations and limitations as well.

The visuals are interesting. The colour palate chosen is certainly portraying a vivid popping vibe. The music is a big surprise. As someone who almost always mutes the games he plays to sub it with his own playlist, I was very pleasantly surprised to hear music that fit the respective narrative scenes very well.

Its not perfection. Yes if you look hard enough, you can find imperfections and tropes that are not to everyone's taste. But really, nothing that should detract from what is a very solid opening effort with a very beefy follow up salvo.

How will it continue? I can't wait to find out.

Hey gloomyghost - just thought you'd want to know that the game on Steam is flagged as 32 bit and 'might not run' on modern macs. I bought it and it works fine (I'm on macOS 15.3), but you might want to update the mac requirements - some people on steam might stay away thinking it's incompatible with modern macs ie it IS compatible with macOS 10.15 and higher unlike the warning it has in the steam store.

Wonder how long the story is going to be? 2 updates in almost 2 years is not very much. depending on how long the story is going to be this will take years to complete.
