Developus Noticus:

As you know, this update has been in development for a bit. I could give you a lot of reasons for the delay, but if we’re being honest, I think I just got nervous about how many eyes were on this thing. I became a little paranoid about making the best possible game I could, which ended up causing me to agonize over the direction the story was headed in for way too many hours. I made scenes, edited them, rewrote them, then cut them more times than I can even count. Truth be told, I expected this update to be larger than it is, but I had to make the decision to cut it somewhere or risk stewing in development hell until the end of time.Overall, while I’m disappointed in myself for not releasing a whole-ass novel with this update, I’m fairly satisfied with the content of 0.3 itself, and I really hope that shines through when you're playing.

I wish I could share your optimism in regards to the perfection bit. Don't get me wrong, I want the game to be as good as it can be and I want them to take their time, too. But... At this point I'd rather something than nothing.Know what I mean? The game already looked miles better than most, both in graphical fidelity and in writing. To strive for something better is great but the cost has become apparent:No actual update in a year and a half No dev comment on Itch in almost a year Latest Patreon post where they describe their fight with it (perfectionism).There's a handful of games I follow that ended up on hold indefinitely or outright abandoned because the dev would chase perfection (Sylphine being a prime example). They've all followed this very same path and I'd hate for this to share the same fate.

I'd played this game for like, 1 hour for like now maybe. And it's like the best one i ever had. It's not focusing for the only sexual thing but like damn, have a story that i can bear. I think it's an exelect game and made this profile only, to comment under this game. I really hope the Creator is doing fine, and will continue the game. Because it's honestly, a super good one.

I been playing for over a month now found a few decent ones.Scifi/fantasy AVNs- Eternum, Once in a life time, Companion of Darkness (Probably the best action styled AVN), New Horizon, project ATMOSPHERE, Between Humanity, Origin Story, Oppai Odyssey, Ripples, The Awakening, DOGMA (Think there's a spinoff too Wrath of something) and Evermore (But I think it's in some kind of development hell), My Best Deal.Non sicfi/fantasy- University of Problems, Long story short, Half way house, The power of truth.It's tiring searching trying to find decent AVNs. Itch search and tags is kind of dogshit. If anyone know of any other decent scifi/fantasy feel free to reply. 

Depends on how valuable 1.4 gb is to you. It's an awesome story so far and really good characters and dialogue. Some of the character interactions (i.e. banter) in the game is hilarious. However it is very early on in it's development. So much so that there isn't even one full sex scene yet. You be the judge of if that sounds worth it.
