Any idea when or if episode 7 will come?

(+2)

Sorry for the late response and missing this, I don't know for sure but you can check public posts on my Patreon and I am probably going to do a big public update on November 6th (I always update every Sunday for Patrons) and you can see the progress at that time.  

Unfortunately, I run a full-time interior design business and am involved in numerous other business ventures, so it is very sporadic with free time/hours for the game but I work super hard on it with the free time I have!  I've always told that to my Patrons from the start, and I do wish I was so much faster, but I think I did the last update of about 3350 renders in about 7 months, I can't go much faster.  :(

having trouble downloading to android everything goes smooth till it installs to device it trys to start the app without installing first then clams it's not installed can't tell if it's on my end or what but I have tried deleting and installing 3 times now thank you 

I'm sorry I missed this, but it's just a normal Android phone?  Are you trying to use any mods or saves from prior updates that used a mod?  A mod save on Android right now from a specific one is appearing to have problems, but if it's not that, I'm not sure what could be the issue.  :(  

all fine! was a lack of storage space!

This is the best game I've played here. I love all the different paths. Being Alessandra's sub while following the dom path was my personal favorite. Keep up the great work!

(+3)

Oh thank you, that was something I really tried to add to allow some balance for players, so thank you so much!

Just a public service announcement, please be careful and don't click any links or spam ads that may appear here on the comments -- this is apparently hitting some other games too on the site.  I'm not posting anything of that sort anywhere, so just be aware that they may be malicious links, etc.  Thank you!

Finally.

This is my newly registered account, while asking the kind author to forgive me for not having a Pal at the moment, while not really knowing the rules of commenting on this site.

With sincere gratitude and best wishes.

Thank you for creating such an excellent game.

Thank you!

A very great game that

Recommended for all those who are interested in sm and femdom themes.

Don't miss it!!!

Is there any NTR ?

I think I would need more info about what that means to you, because on the dom path you can do what I think is called Netori?  But this is not my area of expertise at all (what it means).

Is there a demo I can try out first?

Hello are you going to add gore and giantess scenes? Like what you were doing at the time on your deviant art which was really good

Hi, giantess stuff is pretty hard in the narrative of this game, but I do a lot of commissions of this type of art.  For gore, there is a balancing act so I would say that the more gore there is, it would likely require a choice warning to opt out for some players.  This is actually something I think about a lot, hope this helped even though maybe not the perfect answer!

yes thank you for the answer it's just that I find it a pity that in the game world where these women have total control over the world that there is no gore torture scene or with their advanced power technology shrink the slaves and play the way they want with them

(+1)

Do you have a year that you are trying to have this game completed by or a time frame no matter how tenative or vague?

(+1)

Because I have a full-time business and a lot of other ventures, it is very hard for me to devote 40+ hours a week consistently to the game which makes it hard to provide an accurate estimate.  But I would say the game is about halfway done right now.  If I can manage to free up more time in the future, it would definitely go faster.    

(1 edit)

This is a great game, although I am not into femdom aspect of the game.  But I manage to start at the beginning at K6 rank so there was less femdom with the MC.  Question will there be any sexual relationship between the MC and his sister as well?  I don't mind it though, since there are already different kinks going on already with the game.  There was a hint during the game but I'm not sure you are going to implement it into future chapters.  I am also looking forward to future chapters, I finished as rank K9 and in good alignment at the end of chapter 6.  I might try different paths, I generally don't like playing evil characters so will have to see.   Keep up the good work..

(+1)

Sorry!  I can't spoil the story but the game provides a few hints about both MC (Kane default name) and Olivia's (default name) past.

The game was so good, I purchased it twice. 

Wow, no need to do that but thank you so much, glad you had fun!

Hello. The game ist just great, I love it. I've just purchased it and noticed that there is only the compressed version of the game available for download. Is there a way to get updates for the uncompressed versions, too? Thanks for your help!

(+1)

Hi Frank,

Yes, if you can find me on the Discord server and write me directly -- I can try and help you.  This version is about 95-96% image quality and Itch has a 4GB file size limit so it's not a big difference, but certainly can help :)  Hope you had fun!

Deleted 1 year ago

When a Final version is done thanks :)

Ok, so K8 is the highest rank you can reach (with the main char) by the end of .5 but what is the lowest rank? Lowest rank i could achieve is K3.

(+1)

The lowest rank you can achieve in 0.5 is K2

Hello, I liked the game very much, when will the 6th episode come?

hey man (or woman?), 

Loved playing the game and maybe ill join your patreon (dont know yet how that works). I am curious where it will end (hopefully not soon). 

Is there by the way any cuckolding(cleanup) content in the game already?

(+1)

I'm sorry I somehow missed this post  but I am a female, and I am not sure I have pure "cleanup" content quite yet.  The monthly images on Patreon that are voted on (fantasy scenes) of two sets of about 20-30 renders/images each month do have more specific kinks like this that are not yet heavily in the game.

good game, at the end of the current update I managed to level up to K8 keeping the pass, but is it possible to level up to K8 in the previous chapters?

(+1)

No, K8 is only possible by the end of 5th chapter :)

thanks

Do this work on the oculus quest 2?

Oh man, I wish!  :(  But I'm not smart enough at the tech yet to try stuff like that so it's not designed for it, but I hope someday to do a VR game like this...

(+1)

Hi, love this game, but it's a little hard to keep track of all the characters. Can you make something like a chart with all the characters(so far) with their ranks and who they serve? And when will the next chapter be out? Thanks in advance :)

I will definitely consider that when I do another walkthrough...I am posting on Patreon each week my progress and right now I'm at about 1800 renders or so for 0.6. 

(1 edit)

dom evil is fun but a little hard to keep it that way go k7 now i cant wait for next part hope it is soon also hope i dont regrate demoting jake for next chapter i want to keep going up

Glad you had fun, you can actually reach K8 too!  (walkthrough likely needed as it's super tough to get it)

(+1)

Worth every penny

Very satisfied

Thank you, glad you had fun!

So I just downloaded the game and gave it a shot, and I wonder... Uh, does it get less "extreme" later on? THat whole, "causing men great amounts of pain" is... not exactly my cup of tea, honestly

Just depends how you play lot of different paths but certainly there is both weaker and stronger stuff, plus that is also true on the male dom side too (weaker and stronger stuff)  You probably have missed certain choices/paths if you haven't seen anything but extreme stuff.  And extreme is a subjective term too -- ten different people could define it differently too.  

Lol that's very true!

I came in expecting soft femdom but got significantly stronger lol. Though I also didn't even get out of the prison yet, so I can only assume that narrows the possible scenes


I chose the Submissive/Good path; which path would you suggest to get the least amount of pain inflicted? (both on yourself, and in general on people around you)

Also, I asked you earlier whether watersports would become a thing, and you said yes (yay!) ; Which path would have the most such content, once it's added? (If you have determined that yet, of course)

Try and play good path and try and gravitate towards characters like Junko, Dominique, but especially over time play Olivia (default name for sister) as good.  Olivia you have a lot of control over long-term with regards to how nice/cruel she is, etc.

Okay thank you! Once I get back around to this game I'll give that a shot!


(as some light feedback; it would be nice if you could pre-fill the default names of the characters! When I tried, the fields were blank so I had to stop up to find some reasonable names. Not the most important issue in the world, but if you got some spare time!)

(1 edit)

Great work enjoyed the game. when will chapter 6 next version will be released? can't wait also if possible add more female subs, bimbo, tattoos, pony contents too.

(+1)

I am updating my Patreon every week, and I hope to provide a full update to estimated release in about 2 weeks.  Because of my real time work/business, I unfortunately can't go 40 hours a week on it, but working hard all the time!

Hey again

I noticed that you have put a minimum price on the game


Would it be possible to have a small demo, for those of us who prefer to try before we buy?
Not like the entire game or anything (I totally understand wanting a little income for your hard work <3) but just enough to get a decent overview of the style and how it plays out

Please <3


(If it already exists and I'm just not seeing it, please point me in the right direction lol)

(+1)(-1)

Yes, can you write directly to me here and I try and find a smaller version.  :)

(+1)

Uhm, this is probably a dumb question, but how do I do that?
I haven't figured out how to send private messages on itch yet <.<

No Mac version? Please add if its a Renpy game. No reason not to have it.

Hi, I am trying to add a Mac version, but my normal game size is over 5.6GB and my memory max is 4GB right now for this site so I can't put the full Mac version on here yet.  (I have asked Support for more memory)  I am trying to get help to compress it (if you notice, the PC version is also a compressed one from my normal size) as I know how to do it for PC, but not as well for Mac.  Trying my best, and will make an announcement if I can either 1) get the full Mac version on here or 2) a compressed version. 

what about using Mega? Thats what most of the people use over a certain size

Hello there, I have now added a Mac version that fits for Itch!  :)  The image quality is still about 96 percent of the normal version so I think it won't be noticeable at all!

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Thank you for having answered me .

As promised , i (finally) joined you on patreon .

Since the last week , i continued the game and honestly , in my life as a player , i must say that i've known  many wonderful games , but your game is just ...... the best ! First of all , best story (i'm really addicted) many good characters .... I love EVERYTHING in the game . And i saw the scene where i (Kane) finally meet Olivia at chapter 4 and .... it's absolutely the best scene for now (from the point of view of the story i loved that and of course , the end of this scene where Kane lick olivia's shoes and toes ..... it's a waking dream lol) . I'm really impatient to see next scenes between them 2 .

So , i want to thank you for creating a masterpiece like that , you can count on me for supporting you each day of my life , i will be forever your slav..... your patron lol

Glad you enjoyed it!  Looking forward to seeing you on Patreon/Discord and feel free to send me any comments/suggestions at any time, thanks!

Say, is there any watersports or pregnancy content in this game?

It's looking very promising, and I hope one or both of my fav kinks are in there <3<3

Hi there Rain,

Pregnancy is not in the game yet, but if you play the 0.5 version a player will see that pregnancy is later an important element.  If by watersports you mean what I think then the answer is very much yes.  (it's also a very popular choice in Patreon polls I do where I create 15-20 renders as "fantasy scenes" not related to game, etc.

Thank you for the info!

To clarify, by "watersports" I mean piss/urine play
With that clarification, is it still a yes to that being in the game?

I hope so, 'cause that's pretty rare to find, and bumps the game up to my high priority list <3

(+3)

Oh yes, haha!  Example.  (But no scat, it's a bit much for this poor dev!)

Aaaaaaa

yassss <3<3<3


thank you, and bumped to my high priority list! <3<3

Hi , VN games are not my style in general , BUT i must say i tested your game and ..... I LOVE IT ! it's wonderful (story - characters - design .....) and i think join you on patreon but before that i would know 2 things please : 

First : like i said before , there are some characters that i love BUT to be honest , the one i love especially is the MC sister , and basically i love play eroge (rpg especially) with lot femdom content and of course , the MC is always "submit" . So , i hate spoilers , but please can you tell me if you think doing 1 or some scenes between the MC (as a submit guy) and her sister (as a dominant) ... to be honest , it will be a dream LOL

Second : my question is about the MC and our choices , i don't know how say that , i know the game is not finish but can you tell me if the MC choices will have a "real impact" on the end ? I mean , for example , when i was young i played a game named "ALPHA PROTOCOL" , and in this game you make MANY choices , this choices have consequences on the game BUT at the end , you have the feeling what the hero is almighty , you can play a good guy , a bad guy or else , but at the end it's always "the winner is the hero" . So , i would know if in your game the MC can be "the loser of the story" , and diying (in one or many ways)  why not ? 

So , i hope you answer me , and ... MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!

Hi there, Merry Christmas, I don't want to give super spoilers...but 0.5 is on Patreon of course already (I can't fit the game on this site anymore with file size although might release compressed version soon) and I will only say that yes, the future will hold more direct Olivia (sister) and Kane (default male name) scenes that way.  One example image from 0.6 (I am working on it now) but this scene only shows up if during 0.5 you played Olivia as evil and Kane is a lower ranked sub.  (K2 to K4).

I have 15 endings planned, and more than one have the main character dying.  In fact, it is even possible that all three characters (Kane, Olivia, and Seth - other brother character default name) can die too.  Thanks for the kind words!

I was initially sceptical, going into this game, as femdom stuff isn't really my thing.

But my god this is probably one of my favourite VN's and I'm glad I gave it a shot. I'll give a mini review and note that I've only gone through the K6 route as Good and Evil (cause the K4  stuff dosen't appeal to me) but even only going that way the game has plenty of amazing content and great writing

Playing as the Protag with no power means that you HAVE to think about your choices. Being smart is the only way up and that's made very clear from your first meeting with Elena but what makes it great is that everyone one in the VN is playing their cards close and trust is something hard to come by, almost Game of Thrones levels of writing (S1-4).

Even if you're not into Femdom, give the game a shot. It's well worth it and I love that your choices  primarily affect your relationships and scenario's rather than the Protag's character. (i.e playing Evil throughout shouldn't prevent you from making a late game Good choice, like faking the bad guy but really being good, or the reverse), but it looks like some choices may lead you to be a perm sub or perm dom in terms of the NSFW content which isn't that big a deal. And I understand this makes the workload bigger having an Evil run suddenly turn good and making all the character reactions so all in all just a thing that could be neat given you got enough time ofc.

And I've got one question

Q. Are the good and evil variables independent or tally together? (i.e is 4 good choices, 2 evil choice = 4g, 2e or 2g)


TL:DR - Even if you don't like femdom, there's other stuff to do. Play the thing

Just discovered this game and was unable to do anything else than rushing it twice since then. Very fun to see in my play-through how a simple choice in first chapter snowballed to make the difference between K3 and K6 in the end.

To make short : The best FD VN I played so far, and the first I'm considering going on Patreon and/or working on a French translation for

I love :

  • How hot and wicked the female characters all are
  • The main plot that appears progressively while remaining mysterious enough so that the big picture isn't crystal clear. The scenario seems far from being just a pretext for "action", and I'm pretty sure revelation time will be a great time
  • The game adjusts to the level of D/S the player wishes (some choices are obviously oriented toward D or S, and you are warned before making a choice that drives to shocking content). While your char as quite few power on its situation, YOU have a nice power on the content you get.
  • Characters often give a welcomed feedback about the choices of the player, especially when they meets their interest. That's a nice way to make know which buttons work on which chars.

What may be improved from my point of view :

  • Especially when playing a sub route, it's quite easy to understand what characters kinks are or estimate their sadism level, but it's far harder to put some personality traits on them yet. Their dominating position tends to erase any trace of humanity and they all feel more like pieces fighting on the same chessboard (guess who are the pawns ? ;)) than humans fighting for their ideal. That may seem nice because that really make them look like ruthless predatory machines, but on the second hand, they feel less realistic from an emotional point of view (so, it impedes immersion a bit)

    As a counterexample, MC's sister doesn't suffer this problem since you follow her thoughts and have total power on her journey.

  • May be eye candy, but may be a weakness for immersion (and feminism for that matters) : all female chars are waxed top models with high heels and a perfect make-up. No place for hair, fat, small breasts, etc. here.
  • A few "movie mistakes" (Sam's necklace vanishes between two subsequent scenes of chapter 1. Pubic hair of MC's sister vanishes too)
  • Would be awesome to have a pre-compiled version for arm/linux archs (raspberry pi, pinephone, etc.)

Thank you for the nice feedback!  I do appreciate it all, especially where I can improve!  I wish I could have extremely deep interaction with almost every character in the game with super in depth characters, but given I am trying to create branching/plot differences too, I think I have a limit in some areas I wish I could do more, etc.  (and I do wish I could do more, lol)  And the women, very valid critique, although for the guards/staff it's very easy to say the company would never ever hire females (which would be crucified in real life today in our world, but their world is fictional and quite different) that do not meet certain physical requirements in their eyes, and the sisters would have enormous pressure to maintain a certain look but for the sisters, I did actually consider a less ideal female shape/face as one of them for narrative purposes.  I considered even one of the sisters being semi-bullied by the others due to her lack of physical beauty, but decided against it at the end.  (that character would have been Juliette)

I have question first half story about test is there way getting higher rank f4 first test not sure if did good or not at test with Pat and computer app test

when is the next chapter gonna be finished can't wait to play it keep up the great work its awesome 

(1 edit)

Wow, very beautiful and nice, I pray this game. Thank you for your beautiful game!

will 0.4 be up here eventually?

Yes, but I have to be fair and let Patrons get it first and such,,,

(2 edits)

makes sense and thanks for the update. i'll be patient like a good boy.

Great game!
Which programm do you use to make the characters?

(+1)

The program is called Daz Studio, thanks!

The folder that downloads on Mac doesn't seem to have the game in it. Unless I am looking in the wrong spot.

Hi there, I do have a Mac version, but it can't fit it on this site as the game is over the max storage limit (1GB).  I'm not sure how to compress Mac version the same way, maybe I will ask someone.  The newest version of 0.3 coming soon is already 1.8GB so very worried how to fit it on here.  :(

Ah alright, is there any other place to download the game?

Great game so far and I am enjoying the player agency that seems to be afforded. The only problem I had was that there is nothing to indicate whether or not the choices made when playing as your sister affects the personality of the MC. I would like to play the MC one way, but the sister another, and so I have been doing so, though I am not sure if that is going to work.

Generally, each character is independent of each other in terms of their personality but you can make choices later where they tend to get closer and maybe help each other more or the opposite or somewhere in between.  I wish I could post 0.2 here, but the site won't let me do more than 1GB (the updates makes game 1.2 GB) and itch not responding to my requests yet for more storage.

So to clarify... if I play the MC as a dominant, but his sister as a submissive, how will that effect the outcome? They cancel each other out?

they are independent of each other so you can do both and the mc might end up very dominant and the other submissive and there is a game path/track with that possibility in mind.

Perfect! Thanks for the clarification. This just makes me more interested in the game as it allows for such a dynamic range of choices :) 

really loved playing this game great story  waiting for updated version

Thanks!  I am posting updates on my Patreon page, almost done with 0.2!
