To run the game, just download the appropriate version (Only PC and Mac versions available so far), unzip the folder and open the .exe file inside.

Okay, so here’s something a little different! For the longest time, I’ve been really interested in visual novel/dating sim type games. I used to play translated ones from Japan back in high school, but in the past few years I’ve been seeing more and more of them crop up online from the west. I really enjoy a lot of these games, and for a couple years I’ve been toying with the idea of dipping my toe in those waters. About a year ago I experimented with making an Applebridge game, but the idea I had for that was a bit too ambitious and would’ve kept me from getting other art done. Here recently I had a new idea, however, and I think I can pull this one off.

So this is the first build, which I’m calling the “Test Run” Version, since that’s really what this is. I coded/wrote the game with stock image assets just to make sure I actually could, and then added in art and music and stuff after. Since it is just a test, though, it’s also very sparse. If you download this and play it, don’t expect a lot of content. There’s one handjob scene and one stripping scene in the game, both of which are pretty easy to find and access. What I plan to do is add in one new interactive character and one more strip club character with each update, and eventually there’ll be a good amount of content here. The new characters will alternate gender each update (so this one has Siat you can talk to, and a boy in the strip club, so the next update will feature a boy you can talk to and a girl in the strip club). I let my supporters vote on who the first character added in would be, and they picked Sora from Kingdom Hearts. So, look forward to being able to interact with him in the next update. ^_^ I’m working on it right now, and it’s pretty close to ready. Once I finish it, you’ll see it crop up in the Post Schedule. The next update will also feature a revamped soundtrack. The songs in this version were grabbed off YouTube (license-free), but I hired someone to make some original tracks for future versions.

I want to stress that this is a game I’m making almost entirely by myself. I’m doing the writing, coding, and art single-handedly (I did not make the music or sound effects). On top of that, I have zero experience with Ren’Py, the program I’m making this in, so I’m just learning how to do things as I go. I want to make this clear because I know there’s often some expectations for frequent updates with games that have a team of people who know what they’re doing, but that’s not what this is. I’m a lone amateur, who is still creating daily new content for you all while doing this on the side. Updates will come when they come, but their could be a long stretch between them. I don’t want anyone getting their hopes up to high on that front. I’m very, very excited to be making this and I’m working on it as often as I can, but realistically there’s only so much I can do.

Also, here’s the QnA video I did last month, for anyone who’d like to watch it:
