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.
Love Interests:
The game currently includes 7 potential love interests:
Sarah
Sarah is Michael's new manager. A very successful business woman she has built a strong career in the finance world. Her beauty and manner is striking. Is a relationship possible with someone so professional?
Lucy
A brazen young woman who confronts Michael in the park. Is she just a punk looking to stir up trouble or is there more going on?
Penelope
Penelope is Michael childhood friend. She is always had the plan of action and Michael has followed along. Still she has always had Michael's back and genuinely cares for him. She is now worried that Michael may be getting lonely so has hooked him up on a dating app. Michael has never viewed her as anything but a friend but could that change?
Olivia
Michael's new mysterious neighbor. Michael has only just met her and while she seems nice, and is extraordinarily beautiful, it's not long before her.... activities... start to become a real hassle. How will Michael deal with this before this spiral out of control?
Rose
Michael's first match through the dating app. Rose is stunning and Michael is excited to go on his first date with her but things don't pan out exactly as planned. Does a rocky start mean there is no hope? Or will things just take time?
Fiona
Michael's second match through the dating app. She is a free spirit and her first message to Michael, talking about a spiritual connection she feels with him, makes him a bit wary. Is Michael right to judge her a bit suspiciously or is there really a connection between them that could introduce Michael to a whole new world?
???
A mysterious woman who stands behind the scenes in Michael's office. Can Michael somehow find out about her and arrange an unforgettable encounter?

QTE click game Clicker slider gameBranching routes and dialogue choices
Progress and General Project Info
This is a solo project where I have attempted to improve past my initial project i.e. from a short Quiz game to a short visual novel. All the coding and story were done by me. Sounds, music and graphics were either freely available assets or assets I generated from stable diffusion offline and edited (please view the about/credits page in the game's settings for a full listing).
As this is a hobby project I will not be working on this at a scheduled pace. I am really hoping to gauge if this is something people are interested in and to get some feedback. Because of this I have not created a Patreon or any other funding page but may do so if there is demand.
As an eroge I plan to have multiple H-Scenes (maybe 2?) for each girl. Below is the current progress of H-scenes per girl:

Other potential improvement and updates
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).Android version of the game.InstallationDownload the zip and extract, then run OTL.exe
