For anyone wondering or asking, V 0.7.1f is the final version of season 1. Nothing will be added, it says on the patreon upload of this version of the game.
I'm not done with season 1 yet, but I did get to the point where Jacob asks for the seal, and..."Why would Jacob lie to me?" Seriously, MC?! He's been THE sketchiest character this whole game! How has MC not suspected this dude of anything at all? I get that he's supposed to be a bit of a naive character, but this is just plain ignorance.
This may seem like a ridiculous question, but it pertains to my preferences. Are there at least some sex scenes in this, where the girl is still wearing stockings/lingerie during intercourse? I noticed a lot of games will show them in stockings, but they're always gone for the sex scenes, which I find infuriating. Anyway, if anyone could answer that, I'd appreciate it.
If you scrolled down to the comments to get an idea of peoples opinion before getting this...
If you expect good writing this isn't it. Don't get fooled by comments like that the quality is like Being a dik at hogwards because it's not. The writing, especially in season 2 is terrible, my guess is that the English translator was either Google or Bing because I can't imagine anyone, native speaker or not, to form sentences like I've read here.
The characters look pretty, some of the adult scenes are executed pretty decent, and the premise of this story sounds interesting, but that's just not enough to recommend this especially since it is monetized.
To the developer I only have one thing to say, you really need some proofreaders for your work. I can see that there's a lot of work put into this but in my eyes it's far from a quality product worthy of financial support. If this was a free passion product I doubt I'd feel the same but something that's monetized should atleast live up to some quality standards.
Hello, so I really enjoy these types of games and I'm rather interested in getting the game. I just have two questions; Is it possible to "collect" all romancible NPCs? I don't necessarily like to do multiple runs of these kind of games & I like to build a harem for the most part. My second question is if there is a walkthrough for the game. Maybe one that helps build that harem? I saw that it was apart of some bundles and whatnot, but I don't necessarily want everything that are in the bundle, just the walkthrough.
Thank you & I'll probably get the game either way, I just had those questions before I purchased it!
It would be great if you could post file hashes too, as we are downloading from another website (to verify the download) in the development log... for this and the Season 2. Thanks!
Hello devs. I have a few questions (and I was unable to find a working discord link):
1) I downloaded and played the public release from your Patreon site. Tried sandbox and story mode but there is still one galery scene that refuses to unlock (also one animation is missing when showeing and thinking about Sadira). All characters are at 100% so this should not be possible at all.
2) I noticed that you brought season 1 to GOG as well. Why only season 1 if season 2 obviously already does exist? Edit: it just got listed on GOG as coming soon - so no need to answer it anymore :)
3) At least in the version I played it does not seem as if you could ever not score if you aren't completely stupid ... so it does not feel as if your actions influence different girls in a different way. Has this improved in the full game?
I'm curious about the GOG question as well. I'm interested in buying this game. I'd almost prefer to get in on GOG if it like Being a DIK, but either want to buy the completed game or be re-assured all episode will be released on GOG. There was a comment below the game is already completed on Patreon.
I'm also curious about the GOG question. Is Season 2 going to be available? Seems odd to have half an adventure when both parts are completed. Instead of taking the risk, I just bought them both for $20. Can't wait to promote these and get more people interested.
Hello, I just purchased the bundle on Itch but can't download through them. Links me to a 3rd party site which doesn't bother me, but wants to charge me again. Help
People are free to monetize their content however they want - the free ones are paid for by supportive communities via donations. This one charges upfront like the absolute majority of pc games does. Nothing controversial or weird about this.
I pay 5 bucks daily just to have lunch delivered at work.
Paying ten bucks to enjoy a good game and support the dev in making more of it doesn't sound so unreasonable to me.
People who put their games up for free so any random freeloader can enjoy them makes less sense to me, though I occasionally end up paying more in donations to games that didn't charge up front... but the vast majority will simply take free stuff for granted.
People pay a lot money for beer, cigarette and parties but then they hate it when a game dev or a software developer asks a few dollars for an almost finished product, not even monthly... They even pay 70$ for AAA games but cannot support indie devs to whom it matters a _lot more_…
I'm kind of confused, how to duel on android version? If I select a spell , an animation on screen show me a "glyph" with a stop button, don't know what to do
How would adding new options destroy a game? I have no interest in male love interests myself, so if the content is avoidable i'd have no issue with that being part of a game like this.
lemme explain bro,i never came across any avn which had NTR which was justified and showed it nicely executed,in any avn when you try a girl route and follow it,it felt as love,or sometimes lust but you have to treat them nicely to be with them and in the end you have connection which is justified by a good ending.but the reason for hate for the NTR is not just because i hate sharing or another guy fucking girls,it's just because it can't be executed and shown as something that is explainable by any means,it just showcase girls as whore,sluts and as a piece of meat which just wants to be fucked not to be loved,and mostly either male mc is sore looser or female mc is born whore,and even when it is added as avoidable or optional it just destroys the avn since it can never explained on normal terms,even in real life cheating can never be justified even in the sharing it feels empty in these type of avns
The whole point of a harem avn is to showcase love between mc and li,and i know even harem isn't easily justified but at least u have choice to choose single girl route,or go for harem,and each girls story is explained character is shown and you make a love connection to them,which is opposite of NTR but i like to have connection between girl and mc shown as love,in NTR it's just antagonist using girls as slut,and they enjoying it.i m okay with just single girl route,and avn with non harem routes, but feel sad for girls whom we can't pursue and has to leave,at least there some great avns for everyone taste,not every game is single girl route, Harem route, NTR route, avoidable/optional NTR routes,but adding something else to a completely other avn just destroys it,
I don't quite get your point, to be honest. How is a male love interest as an additional option any problem? It's not NTR. I do understand your issue with NTR and common execution of it and i agree. i just don't see how it's related to "let's add a completely optional piece of content" like male love interests.
I do think anything that is unexpected or extreme (non-consent, young-appearing characters, various queer stuff, hard kink stuff, foot fetish, whatever unusual thing people are sometimes into) can be ruining the mood for the player if it is not what they expected to come across. If labeled appropriate and thus avoidable, there is no issue at all.
One AVN had a "blackmail suspect" option to help solve a murder case - but it got unexpectedly extremely rapey and not at all what i expected (or wanted in that scenario). I found that really off-putting, because it just came out of nowhere. Similar to what you describe with NTR.
Other games do that better by allowing pre-emptive decisions in the settings or by clearly labelling implications of decisions if they are out of the ordinary. If that is done, everything is fine, in my book.
i m not saying gay is bad(it's just for me) some can have their kinks even as liking to be cucked and u can't force others to not like these, even if most of the time people are manipulated in liking these things or just experiment even irl,but some games have a base for a certain genre that follows out adding completely opposite just destroys it.
I will give you example of an incomplete avn underdog whose dev was trying to create a NTR avn but thought to add harem route to it, where mc will make girls his slave,but problem was mc was literal looser faggot with a tiniest dick and he is just whinning about everything and sore looser,and dev did a terrible job in trying to make it harem,since girls were basically whores u can't make them be with one guy,it was impossible to be executed,adding a different genre makes it almost impossible for an avn writer to fullfill its plot and story purpose and mostly it destroy the avn to point where it is forced to be abandoned by avn,due to hatred.
Making game of whichever genre or what type of story for avn is completely Dev's job,we shouldn't force him to add complete different things to it,i don't go on telling a NTR dev to make a vanilla route,since i know it wil be a waste and nothing good will happen even if he add,so i just avoid these genre avns and play which i like, but we should not force dev to put a complete opposite kink to avns with already good story and plot.No matter which it is but it will destroy plot 99% of times.
Should be at least one, though I skipped that storyline. I've not played since it went paid though - not because it isn't worth it; I'd say it's fairly priced, I just haven't had time.
So when the full game with the complete story comes out, let me know, and I will buy it. Not spending money on part stories any more. I have been ripped off too many times by Adult VN developers.
But is that the end? Or is there a season 3, a season 4 and on and on? If season 2 completes the whole story, then call it "final season". You may get more sales! And I am not picking on you. I have left comments like my previous one on about 5 other Adult VN comment lists. No more part-story buys from me.
I’m not the developer but look at it like a TV series. It may have 1 season or 10 seasons, depending on the success. Season 1 is complete, he may polish it, but there will be no more story content added until season 2. You can’t fault a developer if the game is not making money and they’re forced to stop. However, this game looks like it’s doing pretty good, so I’m guessing we will see multiple seasons.
Games are not like TV series, in every other genre, FPS, RPG, Platform game, racing game, ANY other game will have maybe alpha, then beta then finished game (always called 1.0). If it's a small indie developer, you may buy the beta to support them, but you know 99% of the time you will have the full game eventually. If you check Itch you will see many Adult VN games (at least 60-70%) that have not ha an update for many months, sometime even years. Sometimes you can find out that you can buy a 0.3 version and be told if you want the 0.9 version, you need to go on Patreon. Many devs say the game is $10, but then says you can only get the game on Patreon, then you go there and find out you can't download the game on a $1 a month, you can only download it on a $4 a month Patreon, so how is the game $10?! Finally, many adult VNs are called 1.0 or higher, when they're still unfinished. This can only be to confuse the customer!
This means many games are never going to be finished, yet Itch keeps them up here on their site. To me, Adult VNs and Itch.io are the dodgiest "three shell" games and website in the whole gaming market. I have wasted too much money on unfinished games that I know now will never be finished. I am just not going to do that any more. And yet gamers are now so dumb I often see comments giving a game 10/10, when it's barely a finished game! So you carry on deluding yourself, and I will spend money only on games on steam where you can ask a comment asking if it's the full game, and if the response is "yes", then i'll buy it. Itch doesn't have this, so, you won't see me much on this site any more.
Hey, if you are hosting another site, please host the file hashes that the files can be verified that they are official and not damaged or tampered with. Thank you.
Just bought the game and I can't download it. The itch.io app doesn't download the app because it is hosted on an incompatible third-party website. Going to that website (Mega), I can't download the game either because the site stops the download halfway through and wants me to pay for a Mega account.
Please fix this or refund my purchase. Thank you.
Update: I was able to download by using a VPN and choosing another country, but it really shouldn't be this hard to get the game I paid for.
I have a meeting with Sabrina, in her room, at midday to talk about her problems. I go when the UI says DAY, and she is never there. So what does midday mean if not DAY?!
I actually picked up the game on this site in a bundle but also have it on Steam now as well. I'm pretty early in and enjoying the story. It's be cool to talk to other players about the game on discord but sadly it seems like you can only have access to the chat if you support the game on Patreon. The guide is pretty nice as well but I was expecting more of an overall game guide that has tips on all parts of the game. What comes with it is just a route guide for relationships. Still very helpful, just not what I was ultimately expecting seeing as the game itself pretty much tells you how to progress with characters
What is the system behind the spell casting based on? I am trying to do one for Victoria (Fire Bolt) and no matter what I do, it seems my result is completely random. I have tried staying in the lines, but the score is all over the place. I've tried for speed and still the score seems random. I can't figure it out. It seems much more difficult / random than the entrance exam system.
Spellcasting is based on timing only. Wait until the magical symbol is filled up, and then click. Wait too long, and the symbol resets again and you get a low score. Clicking a split second before the symbol is filled up completely works best for me.
As far as I can tell, tracing the symbol as quickly and as accurately as you can is used for the entrance exam only. It's a shame, because I think that's actually a cool little mini-game and more interesting than the timing based one.

Hey, Ive already bought this game but for some reason cannot redownload the game, anyone able to help with that?
I'm not done with season 1 yet, but I did get to the point where Jacob asks for the seal, and..."Why would Jacob lie to me?" Seriously, MC?! He's been THE sketchiest character this whole game! How has MC not suspected this dude of anything at all? I get that he's supposed to be a bit of a naive character, but this is just plain ignorance.
If I purchase this will I have the option to place it on PC and Android?
Hey!
Yes, there are 3 links: pc\mac\android
This may seem like a ridiculous question, but it pertains to my preferences. Are there at least some sex scenes in this, where the girl is still wearing stockings/lingerie during intercourse?

Привет создатель игры можно спросить когда выидет новая версия в обшии доступ и еше анрдроид порт добавите?
is the ending a "choice" of some kind when it shows all the characters or is that just like a recap of all that happened?
Hello! I am tremmi from tremmiGames! Interested in cross-post in itch :) Thank you!

Dang. Meant to buy the season 1&2 bundle. Could I get a refund and I'll repurchase the proper one. Thx
It would be great if you could post file hashes too, as we are downloading from another website (to verify the download) in the development log... for this and the Season 2. Thanks!

Sorry was being a complete idiot and finally figured it out. Meant to say earlier.
Apologies for wasting your time, fun game(s) btw.

Can't install it either.

Hey i m new here i don't know how things work bit do u guys seriously pay to play avns?
I get them for free dude
People are free to monetize their content however they want - the free ones are paid for by supportive communities via donations. This one charges upfront like the absolute majority of pc games does. Nothing controversial or weird about this.
Literally complaining about paying on probably the best if not top 5 best games on this whole site.
I pay 5 bucks daily just to have lunch delivered at work.
Paying ten bucks to enjoy a good game and support the dev in making more of it doesn't sound so unreasonable to me.

Question: Does this include mc contend or is it a straight dating sim?
I'm kind of confused, how to duel on android version? If I select a spell , an animation on screen show me a "glyph" with a stop button, don't know what to do
Stop it when it's as full as it can be
No male love interest?
I'd like that too

There is
So when the full game with the complete story comes out, let me know, and I will buy it. Not spending money on part stories any more. I have been ripped off too many times by Adult VN developers.
Hey!
So it's a complete Season 1
Right now we are working on Season 2, so once it ready we will post it here too
But is that the end? Or is there a season 3, a season 4 and on and on? If season 2 completes the whole story, then call it "final season". You may get more sales! And I am not picking on you.

it says it's hosted on an incompatable 3rd party website and cannot be launched. how do I fix this this?
Hey!
Contact me via discord Majesti#4005 I can give you a link for a different file hosting
Hey, if you are hosting another site, please host the file hashes that the files can be verified that they are official and not damaged or tampered with. Thank you.
Harry Potter Lewd VN, darn YES !!
This games is amazing, it has alot of fun dialogues, good lewd scenes, amazing graphics.
What i like the most is the little RPG elements that makes this game such a beautiful VN to play. Id like to call it a Hybrid RPG Sandbox VN.
Story is very powerful and it is developed in a highly loved environment for me: Hogwarts.
This game is in the TOP 10 adult VN ever created
Thanks for good words :)
Anal sex?
