Developer Notes:

PLEASE NOTE THIS GAME IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT (i.e. early alpha) AND THE STORY IS NOT COMPLETE! The game is by my rough estimate about 60% done.This means that: – images, sounds etc. may change.- Not all girls have an H scene (5 out of 7 currently have one)- The game’s story may change due to feedback etc.

Re-balancing or reconsidering mini games. I have found this aspect to be tricky with the mini-games have variable difficulty based on the device being used. I’m looking for feedback to see if this is an enjoyable part of the game.Image gallery (the bones are there thanks to the wonderful Pink-Black Ren’py GUI by Skolaztika but I need to put some work into making it work for the game).
