An Honest Note After Shipping EP2 (And a Quick Ask)

[p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]

Episode 2 is live. We originally projected 1,600 images and 100 animations. We shipped 2,100+ images and 321 animations — including 100 voiced scenes. We even went back and added 40 voiced animations to EP1. All free.

We're proud of what we've built. But today, we need to have an honest talk about reviews.

[/p][h2]What We're Dealing With[/h2][p]
Some of the negative feedback early on was completely valid — EP1 was shorter than it should have been. We heard you, and EP2 was built specifically around your feedback. It's longer, has more content and it feels more natural.
[/p][p]But many of the "too short" reviews came from players who might not know that Steam does not allow Early Access for NSFW games. We couldn't release the game with a beta tag to show it was just the beginning.

So we made a promise on day one: EP2, EP3, and four short stories would all be released as free updates. That promise has always been on our store page, in the game itself, and in every update we posted. We just delivered the first massive piece of it.

We know we aren't perfect. But we're working to add things that rarely exist in this genre — voiced animations, hand-crafted choice cards, a bespoke UI built from scratch, and support for 14 languages.

We thrive on constructive feedback. If a scene didn't land for you, tell us why and we'll do better. In addition, please try to explain in a few more words what you didn't like or what didn't fit. Your honest review can be a great idea or thought.[/p][p]
"Nope" "crap" "Mmm I don't know" "Boring. Refund" "it's a joke for tht much money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

We've also seen claims that we delete negative reviews. Let us be clear: developers cannot delete reviews on Steam. Only Valve can. We never have and we never will.

[/p][h2]The Ask[/h2][p]
Right now, we have over 10,000 players but fewer than 170 reviews.

Most of the people who've actually played through the game haven't shared their experience yet. That means a handful of extremes are deciding how every new player sees this game — and how Steam's algorithm decides whether to show it to anyone at all.

If you've played EP2 — whether you loved it or you think we still have work to do — we'd love to hear from you. Leaving a review takes 30 seconds, and it means more to us than you'd think.

Leave a review here — takes 30 seconds.

Prefer to give us feedback directly? Use our feedback form — we read every single response.
