hmm... what's the best way to start without "hating" the game.
this game has a good idea but that's about it... first of all, you're deprived of the "rollback" which is kind of annoying but still OK,
then you're deprived of the "skip" which is really crap as the game is full of "non-skippable" scenes.
to make the game playable for me I had to freeze the "value": "player_twork to 3" and "guest1_eat to true" with the "0x52-URM" mod.
so I could skip the "work" and the "eat (non-skippable scenes)".
and yet the "game" was nothing more than nonsense,
I'm glad that I made the game a lot more enjoyable with the "mod" otherwise I would probably have needed 4 hours to play through the game instead of 2 hours, or rather wasted it.
What I find saddest is that the game would probably only be 30 minutes long without this whole "interface" "see picture"...

It didn't take long to pick up on the mechanics of this game. Basically, as you increase affection, the heartbeat goes faster until you increase the value. Once you increase the value you get a cutscene.
Positive: feminine characters are cute, and there is potential if the negative sides of the game are addressed.
Neutral: the random dialog provides a gist of conversation but feels like a copout. This is what we are faced with for the majority of game play. Wouldn't be as annoying if it were part of a skippable scene.
Negatives: There are a good number.
I recommend being very judicious with the use of the 'pause' statement. That's what makes the game feel worse than it is. It would have been better if you baked the pauses into a .webm file and played that in the background, allowing ren'py to handle the dialog per normal. That takes a lot of the nastiness out of the grind.
Progression feels slow, because there is very little to no progression in the repeated scenes. Nor are there unlockable actions where the player can break up the monotony of the game. You have three actions, and you are penalized if you don't cycle through them, rather than rewarded. It's a game, lead with a carrot far more than you beat with a stick.
Money system in the game is effectively useless. You gain nothing you haven't already seen if you spend it, nor are there additional clothes, toys, etc. you can unlock for "The Her". The latter would make the game far more enjoyable. Being forced to work when the player is effectively independently wealthy per the prolog isn't how life works. If income is coming from investments, you can do quite well for yourself dealing with it once a quarter... every week is way too much. Give me a reason to work before requiring me to do so.

ok first of all it's really nice to see that you listen to your "community".
(aren't "rollback" and "skip" automatically on?)
ok and now for a meme that I wanted to get rid of when I read/saw this:
Skip and rollback functions will be enabled in future versions, BUT RIGHT NOW game is TOO SHORT?
And again, just to be clear, I like the idea of this game(just the VN not the aroundings "if y dont now what i mean just look up the last post from me)
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.
Log in or register now.
I see an idea and I really want to play it

I'm at 10 heart points and there has been 0 hugs and 0 kisses, no making out, nada!! I hope this changes soon. Would love to see Casey get more romantic and start wearing sister's more daring clothes, like bra and panties only or sheer lingerie. Maybe, start sleeping and cuddling in his/her benefactor's bed.
Start doing things together, going to the movies as a romantic couple, making out on the beach at night, etc.

I just read that you can skip the working part, and I have lately, but it doesn't seem to speed up the process at all. In fact, it seems to take longer to progress.
Finally, it took till heart #23 to watch Ethan have a dream of butt-fucking Casey (I'll take it), when he wakes up he sees his sister Linda and Casey sleeping on the couch and Ethan gets to see Linda's hairy pussy. LOVE IT!!!
I sure hope Ethan gets to have sex with his sister too. Maybe, Linda and Casey together with Ethan.
Casey has got to start wearing sexier clothes. Micro mini's and going without panties, etc. Sexy bras, even though he has nothing to cover. (sexy training bra)
Linda should get Casey in the habit of wearing slut/whore makeup and a redhead wig. Have him grow his hair out and dye it red. (yeah, that's the ticket), little partial here, lol.
There is some mixups where Ethan is speaking Casey's lines and Casey is speaking Ethan's lines.
Made it to 25 hearts for the night......zzzzzzzzzzzz........!!

Thanks for sharing the analysis. Work doesn’t improve Casey’s mood, but eating and spending time together do. However, if you skip eating with Casey every day, their mood decreases. That might be why you don’t see any difference.
Anyway, I have to get back to working on this game
