Reviews:

I'm still early in the game at the moment of writing this comment, but I think the writing for Lukas is a bit off. He feels so shy and formal, just looking at his dialogue I'd assume he was a woman. It's especially weird because, judging from his clothes, he seems like a very casual and outgoing person.This goes for all/most of his dialogue, but I was especially taken out of the story by him telling Kit "That's so kind of you!" when Kit gives him a free croissant.This is just not how men talk.

I noticed you mentioned that the straight route can be avoided, but I can't help but wonder why every time a female character is introduced, the narrative puts so much emphasis on her body and Lukas's reaction to it ( like with Althea in the library or Sally in the alleyway ), even when straight points are at zero. I thought that since I was interested in Sally's male form, "Sylas," she would consistently present herself as Sylas in every encounter, which would make sense if we rejected her and have zero int points with her. Instead, she ends up groping us without consent in the restroom as Sally, and honestly, I just want to tell her to back off.It seems there's been more effort to ensure that gay and trans content can be fully avoided, like making their nudity optional and implementing gay points checks before scenes where a male character is half-naked. For instance, when you visit Chase, the scene changes significantly based on whether Lukas leans straight or gay—if he's more straight, Chase is fully dressed, but if he's gay, Chase is half-naked. However, that same consideration isn't given to those who want to completely avoid straight scenes. Sally's nudity in her succubus form is only lightly  ( not at all ) covered by wisps, and there's a noticeable delay between when her sprite shows up and when the wisps do. I wish we had the option to turn off her sprite or at least have her dressed, along with the ability to tell her to keep her hands and flirtations to herself or just simply have her present as Sylas for the remainder of the story especially if she is planning to molest us in a certain scenes.Not to mention Stella's nudity which wasn't censored at all, even when she was cloacked we had a glimpse of it, i just wish female characters stopped fondling us. I don't think if it was male characters having a feel of Lukas it would be well received by the straight audiance leading to riots in the comments.When a male character makes a move on Lukas ( like when Professor Rojas offers private lessons ), it only registers once we confirm our interest through the choice that raises int points with that character, the professor doesn’t touch Lukas until we choose we want to pursue him, Lukas then reacts to the attention, blushing and all. In contrast, when a female character appears, Lukas is all over her ( getting hard ons ) from the start without the player input on wether we are interested. Honestly, the photography professor is quite uncomfortable, touching Lukas without consent. If we're not interested, instead of being able to tell her directly ( her and Sally when we meet her for the first time ), we have to come up with weak excuses, while we can clearly tell Professor Rojas ( and other male LIs ), “I’m not interested.”I usually steer clear of games with a male MC and both male and female love interests because they often prioritize the latter, but after seeing that this visual novel was well-received and that you promised equal screen time for both genders and the option to avoid unwanted content, I decided to give it a shot. Initially, I was drawn in by the art and then fell in love with the story. Lukas is such a sweet character ( though I wish he could stand up to Jade, Stella, and Sally the way he does with Chase—it's frustrating to see him toughen up and man up around male characters but soften and mellow out around the female cast, let me turn the ladies down and give them a piece of my mind instead of being shoved around by them ). Each character has a unique voice and their own parallel storylines.I just wish the straight content didn't overwhelm the experience. I believe implementing checks for straight and gay points before straight scenes would help filter out those uncomfortable moments where Lukas reacts to female characters in ways that feel forced, i want to ogle the male cast too, I think it would be good to have Lukas eyes wandering the male LIs bodies the same he is doing with the ladies. It would also be great if you could revisit the Althea library scene and any other instances that make Lukas attracted to female love interests and their “attributes” despite choosing the gay path, as well as allow for the option to avoid female nudity entirely. I think the scene in the alleyway was a good idea to set Lukas sexuality, and I think choosing to look at the guy, girl or both should set the stone for the rest of the story presenting the player with their desired content.I hope you find this feedback constructive and that I’m not overstepping by suggesting these changes and pointing out some disparities. I genuinely hope that these considerations can be implemented, especially since feedback for adult games on itch.io can sometimes be overlooked since now the adult tag  doesn’t show up in the search bar but has to be typed in order to show VNs that fall into this category.

Okay, so I played some more and I have to say, I find it kinda jarring to have Sylas sprite appear only during sex scenes, but then as soon as the moment is over we are faced with Sally again,.I think it would make more sense to be approached romantically and sexually by Sylas ( because having Sally talk about her doing things to us then switching to Sylas only when genitals are concerned is quite uncomfortable ) if we are on the gay route. I feel, it just drives point that we will always see Sylas as Sally, making it impossible to dissociate her from Sylas even in the sexy times, tbh, when we are doing the do with Sylas, it feels like we are doing it with Sally. I do not like Sally making moves on us, there is a reason Lukas turned her down at the beginning and chose Sylas, so it would be great if she stopped calling us Lover, because Lukas the way I am playing him, certainly isn’t attracted to her.Being on a gay route should negate all “love” choices with the female characters, I think there should be straight points check the same there is gay points check that dictate how characters interact with Lukas. There is like zero male nudity if gay points are low or at zero whereas I can’t avoid female nudity, and innuendo when straight points are at zero and gay points are high.For code errors : I reached the party and when Jade asked us if we agreed to help Stella, Lukas answers “I did” even thought I refused to help her back in the restroom.

Summary:

Seductive Shadows is an erotic visual novel about the underbelly of student life at the Faculty of Arts. Having entered a famous art academy inside the most lively city of the country, the protagonist did not suspect about the secret student life. And no, the usual hangouts and other joys of being a student do not belong to what lies behind the day to day routine of the campus. By chance, a photography class leads the protagonist to a cult. A whole huge gathering of people worshipping an unknown entity. Will the protagonist join these strange but damn attractive people?
