I love this game both for its story and for its gameplay... is there still a long way to go until its end? I would like to play it from the beginning and enjoy it until its complete end, could I give an approximate? I feel that I will enjoy it more when it is finished and not wait for each update to continue playing... Greetings and thanks for this wonderful game 🙏
I would say probably one and a half to two years on the fast side depending on how fast they want to complete the story versus how much they want to expand the world.(of course not accounting for any IRL troubles that could delay updates) It looks like they have plans to expand the world adding more for the npc department and a bunch of similar stuff. They give an update roughly every 3 months with the latest being 3.6 which released a couple weeks ago.
I'm absolutely in love with this game! I am however, experiencing a rather unfortunate bug. When the second round of training with Cecille starts, and she shows up at MC's room in her old priest's outfit, I'm given a prompt to "click and hold anywhere". When I try clicking and holding, the screen flashes black for a moment, but nothing actually happens. I'd absolutely love some help with this, if possible.
Thanks, I'm happy you're enjoying the game. It must be a graphical glitch. Just left click with the mouse and keep holding for 5 seconds or until it plays the next scene.
Made an account on itch to say this is probably one of my favorite games, if not ever, in recent memory. Don't get paid for a hot minute, but when I do I'll make a patreon just for you too ;p Funny thing is I'm not even in it for the fetishes anymore. Came for the horny, am staying for the fucking ride, whoo boy.
That's strange, I never had someone report this before. Maybe redownload the game? to skip dialogue press Ctrl, but it only skips text you've seen before. If you want to skip everything then right click with the mouse and choose skip unseen in the settings.
i wish that Vi had a little more dialogue , considering that she has been together with us for a long time we should be the ones going to her to clear our mind. I think that maybe after some important events she should have some special dialogue about what just happened , for example when we deactivate a girls curse ( i am talking about more then that dialogue that happens when u deactivate the curse ) , or when something major happens regarding the queen . Hope that we will get to learn more about vi soon , and on a side note i think that she should have a bit more interactable sprites besides the one where she is only sitting on the bed , maybe she changes her position in the room depending on the time of day , i think this would make her feel more lively.
Yeah, Vi is supposed to have more content since the first version of the game but because she's not plot relevant and because I have to keep a consistent pace with updates, her content keeps getting cut. I'll give her some content for sure, as well as a flashback to expand more on her backstory with Mars.
Oh i see how it is then and it's understandable , in that casa i think that if you would want to give her a bit more life for the moment , if possible you can use the lines that Vi uses in the gallery before accessing a scene. For example after a post-training event happens if you talk with Vi the next day she will use that specific line that was in the gallery , since she is in the room with us it would kind of make sense and i feel like it would give her a bit more life , but at the same time i don't know if it would be possible from a programing point of view and if it would create too much trouble then you can disregard what i just mentioned . Looking forward to the future updates and keep up the good work !
The Vi from the gallery is a bit different, the one in the game isn't aware of her. But I'll give her more lines and events for sure. I just need to make it a priority.
You won't be able to do any of the corruption mini game or the dungeon game. Won't register your input so your just sitting there trying to tap the screen.
Fantastic game. Truly amazing, with the perfect ratio of game to porn. The characters are pretty standardfare, with interesting caveats about them. This game has enormous potential.
hello first of all sorry for my english. I'm stuck in the story I'm there where we have a mini game in the morning with Cecille with the knight and also she waits in front of the door in religious dress. what should i do thanks in advance
This game honestly has such nice writing. I know you get that compliment a lot, but as someone who really just enjoys a lot of the stakes and investment through a steady but well-built plot, this one really does stand out
I'm when Cecille is waiting in the evening in front of the port in nun's outfit where you can launch the mini game and the big pink bar in the middle at the bottom of the screen I've filled it completely but I haven't end scene he puts me the basic scene as if my bar was not complete thank you in advance
So I've finally got around and finished this update. The story tension goes down a little (unlike what the end of the last update implied), but it is entertaining and fun still and it was great to see more of Sera. The threat of "that someone" (not to spoil here) coming and the "mysterious" presence at the end still keep it intriguing.
Astounding. Few games found for free profess good writing, and although Hero Party Must Fall is not a finished experience, what does fill in after v0.3 will have the benefit of a titanic foundation.
My complements to creator nithrolith.
On Graphics:
Before playing, I didn’t have high hopes for the art style with how spoiled I’ve become on top-tier 3D offerings, but I was incorrect. The visual aspect of this Visual Novel are unique, stylized, and hand-crafted with intent. There is a masterful amount of emphasis on erotic, exaggerated, fleshy detail. Everything is sweaty and sopping. Working in such a restricting medium takes a true artist to pull off the visual aesthetic presented in Hero Party Must Fall. There are sections of the screen that show close ups to highlight different activities and although I can see some are still a work in progress, the UI groundwork laid before me only inspires anticipation for the finished product.
On Story:
Again, masterful. Some typos but capitalization rules are out the window. To be honest, it wasn’t a problem in any way. It somehow fit the style of the experience. And what an experience. If you ignore the “under construction” parts of this work-in-progress, the underlying characters, worldbuilding, and plot are woven with forethought and care. Despite how I praised the pixel art above, there is still no comparison to other games with endless locations and professionally rendered animations. Yet, during the hours I sat going thought this iteration of Hero Party Must Fall, the dialogue and plot of the story was enough to keep me hooked. There’s no “Wake up, little childhood friend! It’s time for school! Oh, and don’t forget to obligatorily [Peek/Not Peak] at our landlady in the shower through a crack in the bathroom door!”
It is refreshing to find something so both unique and well-crafted.
On Minigames/gameplay:
It’s all clearly unfinished- and that’s okay. The only seemingly functional minigames are the Training Sessions. The way it’s set up now, there is no real reason to think or use strategy. Just doing nothing with the most recent unlocked position selected seems to earn max “points”. If the game elements come together and are as well-done as the rest of what I’ve seen, great. I do worry that if they become too complex or challenging, it will detract from the experience. I kind of enjoy directing the scene through the many positions and it is interesting to exert some control over what I’m seeing by holding or not holding down a button, but again, its incomplete at version 0.3.
On Incompleteness:
First and foremost, I want to be clear that I recommend his game at v.0.3. There was enough here for me to enjoy the time spent. This version can get repetitive as the sandbox is small and the choices are very limited. Skipping large amounts of time is mandatory as there is nothing really to do but Train, most of the time. I encountered a game-breaking bug that sent me into an inescapable loop, but I was so invested in the characters/story, finding a solution wasn’t even in question.
Lucky the developer responded quickly. Search this itch.io comment section for terms like “peephole” and you’ll find the solution if you're stuck in the same place.
Conclusion:
[v0.3] Worth experiencing. Unique, loaded with style, well-written/believable/non-cringe dialogue (rare!), and dripping wet pixel artistry. Yet, go in knowing it’s an unfinished experience.
Great game so far, great dialogue. BUT, I seem to be stuck in a never-ending loop.
I've finished Cecille's second run through the curse, but now I get generic post-traninig scenes with her now. I can also "interfere with their date" in the morning to "lower the curse" with the unfinshed mini-game, but nothing ever advances. There was something said about a peephole so Erin could watch or something but, I've tried everything I can seem to click on and nothing is advancing the story. Any hints?
There seems to be a bug that breaks the flow of events. It's possible to manually trigger the next event to continue. You need to activate the console first. To do that: Go to this file: gamename/Renpy/Common/00console.rpy Change the value of the variable "config.console" to True. Like this: config.console = True
Now when in the game Shift+O will open up the console where you can input commands and change game variables. Input the following command:
sum_event_bag_prio = "p_sum_1_sp_2"
After training at night, it should trigger the next event and allow you to continue the game.
Fixed! Thank you for being so responsive. I hope you continue to flesh out the experience. Amazing job with the conversations and the pixel art. Lots of room for polish, but it's clear where/how you intend to improve, and yet what substance there is is already fantastic.
hey, I'm having the same issue but I cannot open the file gamename/renpy/common/00consple.rpy it says the file is " either in unknown format or damaged" and I cannot proceed past that. I hope I'm just being a dumbass. I've tried to completely remove all the game files from my computer and redownload them but even after I delete them all the saved files still stay on my computer.
There are a couple in the game. since Vi is not a story relevant heroine, she doesn't have as many scenes as the other girls. That will be fixed in the future and I'm planning various scenes with her.
Not yet, the main mini-game doesn't work quite well. But I'm working on making an android version in the future. Although I heard using an old version of joiplay it's possible to play the game with checking "Use legacy version" in the settings.
This game is Amazing, i usually hate NTR story because of some reason, but i guess netori is alright, and i dont know why but if we choose the choice that leading to +relationship with cecille it feels like mars is the one who got NTR'd not The Hero, idk it's just me i think.
Warning this comments includes spoilers, and is only meant t be read by nitrolith.
The last scene of update v0.3 seems really rushed and subpar... honestly it quite disappointed me especially after waiting so long for that scene and yet we didn't even see the insertion... I really hope you overwork that scene to make it alot better and longer, cutting the scene mid through was also really saddening... really please redo that scene and show the whole thing from begin till end no skips... this moment really deserves to be shown fully in every little details while the whole Erin being there is really annoying, doesn't changes it the fact that this is a absolute core scene everyone was waiting for.
And the first insertion scene with sera could also need some redoing, not seeing her face and not seeing her butt seemed quite off.
Otherwise can I honestly say, I love this series.
You made a masterpiece some stuff may be still rough but if you rework some scenes and continue to put in love and effort nothing will stop this series to become legendary.
The last scene I didn't want it to be that fappable to be honest, it was just a character moment and the start of Cecille's true unraveling. To me the first time needs an aspect of trauma, other than that it's just a unusual start of her true sexual relationship with Mars. Which later would have the exciting scenes that one would expect.
Although I'm planning to revisit the scene much later because I deleted the close-up penetration CGs by mistake. But even with that it won't change the core theme of the scene I think.
As others have mentioned, the writing and characterization is sincerely a league above. Each of the characters simultaneously feels flawed, with features that makes them grate, while also having virtues and facets that make you care for them, understand them, and not be able to judge them. Each of them fills a well known archetype and falls in line with those stereotypes, but breaks away in ways that both make sense and surprise you. Even Erin, a character and archetype that seems designed to make you hate him, is just understandable and reasonable enough that you really just can't help but like him too.
This is the kind of NSFW game that makes me wish it wasn't even NSFW, just because the writing is occasionally so wholesome and complex that it overshadows the NSFW aspects; Which is a good thing, for the record.
Really looking forward to seeing what happens with it going forward.
Hey there first of all great game , really love the interactions, cecille's design and the whole story, its very well written good job nitrolith.
So I seem to have run into a bug, after cecille's curse gets re-activated the first sex scene starts with 0 energy dunno about the other ones after that...
Mars stamina regenerates at the end of every day, maybe it got depleted the day before and never went through the trigger to regenerate stamina. I would assume the day after you won't be having this problem.
Weird, but thanks for the explanation. ^^ Wonder if that bug will be fixed soon. Well, if it is considered a bug. I think it should be considered a bug.
can someone help me out, i already downloaded the zip file from google(already completed the current game) but I was just wondering why i can't download it on the itch app/client. I'm fine with having to download/update games through downloading in a browser but having an app to act as a library that i can also use to update them is easier for me
You know at first I was drawn to this game because of the art usually I'm not the biggest fan of netorare but the writing and the story-telling make me come to love the character this game has to offer the premise seems simple at first but the story is deeper than anyone would think loving the game so far. hope to some more Sera and Lavinia content in the future definitely not a "Sadist" btw
Just stopping by to drop some praise.
Fantastic work all around. Can’t wait to see more.
Seen someone praise the soundtrack in the comments and feel like it’s worth seconding that. What’s already there fits very very well. It’s super exciting to see the web of deception and complications getting more dangerous and complex, easily one of the best things I’ve played in the genre.
I don't usually comment since I ain't usually got much to say but this game really is just great serious props for an amazing game better than some of the finished games I've played.
This game is a fr hidden gem look forward to seeing how it keeps growing.
Next update marks the end of the build up phase, after that I'm exploring various new things. There is still a lot of content I want to put in the game. I hope you enjoy that too.
I haven't commented or reviewed a game in a long time, but I must say that the story and characters, especially the emotion and personalities of each character, have left an impression on me. I've played a lot of NSFW games, but this one is definitely in my top three. It may sound exaggerated given that the game was only recently released, but I am very invested in the story, so keep up the good work.
The only thing I have to say is about the dungeon, it might be better to change to a turn-based rpg or you could improve it without changing, idk I just feel like it doesn't have any purpose so most of the time I just skip it and if you can improve it in any way I will certainly look forward to it.
Also genderswap is very interesting hope to see it soon!
super exited for this. though i have a question. ive already gone way past the curse threshold with Cecille after it resurfaced. but the curse has not been broken at all. is that part not made yet or do i need to progress further in the story ?

Will there be android version of the game?
If its using renpy u can play it with joiplay on android
Not working
I would say probably one and a half to two years on the fast side depending on how fast they want to complete the story versus how much they want to expand the world.(of course not accounting for any IRL troubles that could delay updates) It looks like they have plans to expand the world adding more for the npc department and a bunch of similar stuff. They give an update roughly every 3 months with the latest being 3.6 which released a couple weeks ago.

bro were you messing around with the code? if so just re extract the zip file back into the regular file if your using a windows computer/laptop
no, that is the error message i got when i tried entering the void
I'm absolutely in love with this game! I am however, experiencing a rather unfortunate bug. When the second round of training with Cecille starts, and she shows up at MC's room in her old priest's outfit, I'm given a prompt to "click and hold anywhere". When I try clicking and holding, the screen flashes black for a moment, but nothing actually happens. I'd absolutely love some help with this, if possible.
Thanks, I'm happy you're enjoying the game.
It must be a graphical glitch. Just left click with the mouse and keep holding for 5 seconds or until it plays the next scene.
Made an account on itch to say this is probably one of my favorite games, if not ever, in recent memory. Don't get paid for a hot minute, but when I do I'll make a patreon just for you too ;p
Funny thing is I'm not even in it for the fetishes anymore. Came for the horny, am staying for the fucking ride, whoo boy.Haha, thanks! I'm happy you enjoyed the game!
That's strange, I never had someone report this before.
Maybe redownload the game? to skip dialogue press Ctrl, but it only skips text you've seen before. If you want to skip everything then right click with the mouse and choose skip unseen in the settings.
i wish that Vi had a little more dialogue , considering that she has been together with us for a long time we should be the ones going to her to clear our mind. I think that maybe after some important events she should have some special dialogue about what just happened , for example when we deactivate a girls curse ( i am talking about more then that dialogue that happens when u deactivate the curse ) , or when something major happens regarding the queen . Hope that we will get to learn more about vi soon , and on a side note i think that she should have a bit more interactable sprites besides the one where she is only sitting on the bed , maybe she changes her position in the room depending on the time of day , i think this would make her feel more lively.
Yeah, Vi is supposed to have more content since the first version of the game but because she's not plot relevant and because I have to keep a consistent pace with updates, her content keeps getting cut. I'll give her some content for sure, as well as a flashback to expand more on her backstory with Mars.
Oh i see how it is then and it's understandable , in that casa i think that if you would want to give her a bit more life for the moment , if possible you can use the lines that Vi uses in the gallery before accessing a scene. For example after a post-training event happens if you talk with Vi the next day she will use that specific line that was in the gallery , since she is in the room with us it would kind of make sense and i feel like it would give her a bit more life , but at the same time i don't know if it would be possible from a programing point of view and if it would create too much trouble then you can disregard what i just mentioned . Looking forward to the future updates and keep up the good work !
The Vi from the gallery is a bit different, the one in the game isn't aware of her.
But I'll give her more lines and events for sure. I just need to make it a priority.
Thank you!
Ok is this playable in joiplay or mouse only
im about to test joiplay
ok, good luck
Any update on this? Ive run out of mobile games and am really hoping joiplay can expand my options.
You won't be able to do any of the corruption mini game or the dungeon game. Won't register your input so your just sitting there trying to tap the screen.
Fantastic game. Truly amazing, with the perfect ratio of game to porn. The characters are pretty standardfare, with interesting caveats about them. This game has enormous potential.
This game honestly has such nice writing. I know you get that compliment a lot, but as someone who really just enjoys a lot of the stakes and investment through a steady but well-built plot, this one really does stand out
Thank you! glad you're enjoying the story!
hello i am stuck in the game
I'm when Cecille is waiting in the evening in front of the port in nun's outfit where you can launch the mini game and the big pink bar in the middle at the bottom of the screen I've filled it completely but I haven't end scene he puts me the basic scene as if my bar was not complete thank you in advance
The mini-games are still a proof of concept, for now the focus is on progressing in the story. Just quit the mini-game and continue the story.
This game looks nice, will there be plans for an android version?
Yeah, I want to get to that at some point.
alright, take all the time you need, thanks for letting me know.
So I've finally got around and finished this update. The story tension goes down a little (unlike what the end of the last update implied), but it is entertaining and fun still and it was great to see more of Sera. The threat of "that someone" (not to spoil here) coming and the "mysterious" presence at the end still keep it intriguing.
Thanks for the feedback, the next update will be out soon and it will shake things up a little bit.
Review after finishing version 0.3

Astounding. Few games found for free profess good writing, and although Hero Party Must Fall is not a finished experience, what does fill in after v0.3 will have the benefit of a titanic foundation.

Before playing, I didn’t have high hopes for the art style with how spoiled I’ve become on top-tier 3D offerings, but I was incorrect. The visual aspect of this Visual Novel are unique, stylized, and hand-crafted with intent. There is a masterful amount of emphasis on erotic, exaggerated, fleshy detail. Everything is sweaty and sopping. Working in such a restricting medium takes a true artist to pull off the visual aesthetic presented in Hero Party Must Fall. There are sections of the screen that show close ups to highlight different activities and although I can see some are still a work in progress, the UI groundwork laid before me only inspires anticipation for the finished product.
On Story:
Again, masterful. Some typos but capitalization rules are out the window. To be honest, it wasn’t a problem in any way. It somehow fit the style of the experience. And what an experience. If you ignore the “under construction” parts of this work-in-progress, the underlying characters, worldbuilding, and plot are woven with forethought and care. Despite how I praised the pixel art above, there is still no comparison to other games with endless locations and professionally rendered animations. Yet, during the hours I sat going thought this iteration of Hero Party Must Fall, the dialogue and plot of the story was enough to keep me hooked. There’s no “Wake up, little childhood friend! It’s time for school! Oh, and don’t forget to obligatorily [Peek/Not Peak] at our landlady in the shower through a crack in the bathroom door!”
It is refreshing to find something so both unique and well-crafted.
On Minigames/gameplay:
It’s all clearly unfinished- and that’s okay. The only seemingly functional minigames are the Training Sessions. The way it’s set up now, there is no real reason to think or use strategy. Just doing nothing with the most recent unlocked position selected seems to earn max “points”. If the game elements come together and are as well-done as the rest of what I’ve seen, great. I do worry that if they become too complex or challenging, it will detract from the experience. I kind of enjoy directing the scene through the many positions and it is interesting to exert some control over what I’m seeing by holding or not holding down a button, but again, its incomplete at version 0.3.
On Incompleteness:
First and foremost, I want to be clear that I recommend his game at v.0.3. There was enough here for me to enjoy the time spent. This version can get repetitive as the sandbox is small and the choices are very limited. Skipping large amounts of time is mandatory as there is nothing really to do but Train, most of the time. I encountered a game-breaking bug that sent me into an inescapable loop, but I was so invested in the characters/story, finding a solution wasn’t even in question.
Lucky the developer responded quickly. Search this itch.io comment section for terms like “peephole” and you’ll find the solution if you're stuck in the same place.
Conclusion:
[v0.3] Worth experiencing. Unique, loaded with style, well-written/believable/non-cringe dialogue (rare!), and dripping wet pixel artistry. Yet, go in knowing it’s an unfinished experience.
Thanks for the encouragement and I'm happy you enjoyed the game!
Great game so far, great dialogue.
BUT, I seem to be stuck in a never-ending loop.
I've finished Cecille's second run through the curse, but now I get generic post-traninig scenes with her now. I can also "interfere with their date" in the morning to "lower the curse" with the unfinshed mini-game, but nothing ever advances. There was something said about a peephole so Erin could watch or something but, I've tried everything I can seem to click on and nothing is advancing the story.
Any hints?
There seems to be a bug that breaks the flow of events. It's possible to manually trigger the next event to continue.
You need to activate the console first. To do that:
Go to this file: gamename/Renpy/Common/00console.rpy
Change the value of the variable "config.console" to True. Like this: config.console = True
Now when in the game Shift+O will open up the console where you can input commands and change game variables.
Input the following command:
sum_event_bag_prio = "p_sum_1_sp_2"
After training at night, it should trigger the next event and allow you to continue the game.
Fixed!
Thank you for being so responsive. I hope you continue to flesh out the experience. Amazing job with the conversations and the pixel art. Lots of room for polish, but it's clear where/how you intend to improve, and yet what substance there is is already fantastic.
hey, I'm having the same issue but I cannot open the file gamename/renpy/common/00consple.rpy it says the file is " either in unknown format or damaged" and I cannot proceed past that. I hope I'm just being a dumbass. I've tried to completely remove all the game files from my computer and redownload them but even after I delete them all the saved files still stay on my computer.
The .rpy files are just text files you can open them with any text editor. Notepade if you have none.
yeah i still cant get it to work either
i put the command into the console and got an exception error
One of my most favorite games,i love the 2D graphic it´s awesome and i think youre the first person that i want to be a patreon have faith and luck.
Thank you for the kind words, I'm happy you're enjoying the game.
Will there be scenes with vi because everytime something happens between mars and her everything is only hinted
There are a couple in the game. since Vi is not a story relevant heroine, she doesn't have as many scenes as the other girls.
That will be fixed in the future and I'm planning various scenes with her.
Thank you, glad you've enjoyed it.
You can DM me on discord or twitter if you want. If you don't have neither, then a comment here is fine too.
Does joiplay work with this?
Not yet, the main mini-game doesn't work quite well. But I'm working on making an android version in the future.
Although I heard using an old version of joiplay it's possible to play the game with checking "Use legacy version" in the settings.
Please tag the game for linux support. The itch.io app doesn’t allow downloads on linux otherwise.
when willl you add a download for the itch.io client?
This game is Amazing, i usually hate NTR story because of some reason, but i guess netori is alright, and i dont know why but if we choose the choice that leading to +relationship with cecille it feels like mars is the one who got NTR'd not The Hero, idk it's just me i think.
TL;DR: I love this game
Thank you! happy that you've enjoyed the game.
this game is amazing 100% suggest it
Thank you! glad you've enjoyed it.
Warning this comments includes spoilers, and is only meant t be read by nitrolith.
The last scene of update v0.3 seems really rushed and subpar... honestly it quite disappointed me especially after waiting so long for that scene and yet we didn't even see the insertion... I really hope you overwork that scene to make it alot better and longer, cutting the scene mid through was also really saddening... really please redo that scene and show the whole thing from begin till end no skips... this moment really deserves to be shown fully in every little details while the whole Erin being there is really annoying, doesn't changes it the fact that this is a absolute core scene everyone was waiting for.
And the first insertion scene with sera could also need some redoing, not seeing her face and not seeing her butt seemed quite off.
Otherwise can I honestly say, I love this series.
You made a masterpiece some stuff may be still rough but if you rework some scenes and continue to put in love and effort nothing will stop this series to become legendary.
Hi!
The last scene I didn't want it to be that fappable to be honest, it was just a character moment and the start of Cecille's true unraveling. To me the first time needs an aspect of trauma, other than that it's just a unusual start of her true sexual relationship with Mars. Which later would have the exciting scenes that one would expect.
Although I'm planning to revisit the scene much later because I deleted the close-up penetration CGs by mistake. But even with that it won't change the core theme of the scene I think.
Thanks for the feedback,
I really appreciate it!
Excuse me, will you be adding that close-up in the next update? I also find that scene lacking tbh.
Otherwise love the game and can't wait for a update~
Thanks! glad you're enjoying the game.
Next update is focused solely on Elena. Erin's mom. I'll add it after I'm done with her content.
So I see the game is in development. Does the current version end in blue balls or cliff hanger?
As others have mentioned, the writing and characterization is sincerely a league above. Each of the characters simultaneously feels flawed, with features that makes them grate, while also having virtues and facets that make you care for them, understand them, and not be able to judge them. Each of them fills a well known archetype and falls in line with those stereotypes, but breaks away in ways that both make sense and surprise you. Even Erin, a character and archetype that seems designed to make you hate him, is just understandable and reasonable enough that you really just can't help but like him too.
This is the kind of NSFW game that makes me wish it wasn't even NSFW, just because the writing is occasionally so wholesome and complex that it overshadows the NSFW aspects; Which is a good thing, for the record.
Really looking forward to seeing what happens with it going forward.
Thank you, I'm very happy you're enjoying the game.
Yeah, I still have a plenty of fun things I can't wait to introduce. Hopefully it makes the story more interesting.
Thanks again,
Hey there first of all great game , really love the interactions, cecille's design and the whole story, its very well written good job nitrolith.
So I seem to have run into a bug, after cecille's curse gets re-activated the first sex scene starts with 0 energy dunno about the other ones after that...
Hi!
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying the game.
Mars stamina regenerates at the end of every day, maybe it got depleted the day before and never went through the trigger to regenerate stamina. I would assume the day after you won't be having this problem.
Thanks again!
Weird. In my Feed it was shown as 1/5 stars, so I was wondering where the catch is, but here it is 5/5 stars. A bug on itch.io?
Looks interesting, but I will wait for when the game is finished or close to being finished. ^^
It's because someone you follow rated it 1/5. Same person that brought me to it as well, I imagine.
Weird, but thanks for the explanation. ^^ Wonder if that bug will be fixed soon. Well, if it is considered a bug. I think it should be considered a bug.
Legit made an account to say how good this game is. Has great scenes and an actual interesting and engaging story. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! : )
And interesting username, Kabuto was my first KR.
Ohhh? It was my first KR too. Didn't expect someone to recognize it
Small world lol
can someone help me out, i already downloaded the zip file from google(already completed the current game) but I was just wondering why i can't download it on the itch app/client. I'm fine with having to download/update games through downloading in a browser but having an app to act as a library that i can also use to update them is easier for me
You know at first I was drawn to this game because of the art usually I'm not the biggest fan of netorare but the writing and the story-telling make me come to love the character this game has to offer the premise seems simple at first but the story is deeper than anyone would think loving the game so far. hope to some more Sera and Lavinia content in the future definitely not a "Sadist" btw
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying the game!
The new update has been released if you want to play that.
Thank you!
Just stopping by to drop some praise. Fantastic work all around. Can’t wait to see more. Seen someone praise the soundtrack in the comments and feel like it’s worth seconding that. What’s already there fits very very well. It’s super exciting to see the web of deception and complications getting more dangerous and complex, easily one of the best things I’ve played in the genre.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
I'm still planning to add more and more layers to hopefully make the story more interesting.
Are you going to add a mobile like android version in the future cuz I rl whant to play it
I want to add it eventually. I've heard you can use JoiPlay and pick "Use legacy version" from the settings. Apparently that worked for some.
ooo I did not know I needed to use that setting thx 4 telling, by the way great game and thx 4 telling
I don't usually comment since I ain't usually got much to say but this game really is just great serious props for an amazing game better than some of the finished games I've played.
This game is a fr hidden gem look forward to seeing how it keeps growing.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Next update marks the end of the build up phase, after that I'm exploring various new things. There is still a lot of content I want to put in the game. I hope you enjoy that too.
Thanks!
I haven't commented or reviewed a game in a long time, but I must say that the story and characters, especially the emotion and personalities of each character, have left an impression on me. I've played a lot of NSFW games, but this one is definitely in my top three. It may sound exaggerated given that the game was only recently released, but I am very invested in the story, so keep up the good work.
The only thing I have to say is about the dungeon, it might be better to change to a turn-based rpg or you could improve it without changing, idk I just feel like it doesn't have any purpose so most of the time I just skip it and if you can improve it in any way I will certainly look forward to it.
Also genderswap is very interesting hope to see it soon!
Thank you, happy you enjoyed it.
Yeah, the dungeon is just a placeholder at the moment. I'm going to come back to it after I made more headway in the story.
Thanks again, I hope you play the next update.
Is there a way to play as genderswap Erin from the beginning? if so please do.
Sorry, that wouldn't be possible to include without changing everything. But it's kinda interesting ...
It won't happen for a while, and only in the harem route.
super exited for this. though i have a question. ive already gone way past the curse threshold with Cecille after it resurfaced. but the curse has not been broken at all. is that part not made yet or do i need to progress further in the story ?
Thanks, glad you're enjoying it.
The curse break event is not yet in the game, it will be in the next update.
Keep playing until you reach the ending scene.
