Still slowly building but why is there several hints towards incest? I'm talking about the choice for Pauline to kiss her father on his lips. Other than that, there are a few errors I spotted with this release.
That's why choices exist. Some people may find it disgusting, but in reality, there are some cultures where this kind of thing exists, even between men. When they greet each other, they kiss. I just googled it, and it's true. Now, because of what I said, people here may now think the MC will turn gay in the future. :LOL: :ROFLMAO:

By the way, thanks for spotting the error. (y)

Nice start to what seems like a cliche topic with AVN's and I'm not being sarcastic here. The story is promising. I'm looking forward to how things play out with Pauline and the MC as he gets embroiled with college affairs. Just one small observation though. You have "Auto Forward" as a setting option and a mini menu during game play but no auto play button and the game doesn't auto forward itself. For those who, like me, play on the PC, that's a lot of clicking or pressing the spacebar/enter button to move forward, annoying I must say. On another note, that's an issue on screens with resolution 1920 x 1080. The screen doesn't really go full screen. There's a black box on both left and right sides of the main window. I'd have posted that observation in discord but I notice you don't have a server running.

Good luck going forward with your project. :p (y)
Is "Auto Forward" working for you? I read you feedback and decided to add the AUTO toggle button. 1742704787497.png
For me, th recommended text speed should be this.

The renders seemed great and the story albeit not original seems to have ecent writing given the effort put in the summary.

So I don't understand, is there a reason as to why this game has pretty low rating?
Another question is, if we'll get some action family wise wether adoptive or not?

I hope you googled it correctly, because most cultures that greet each other with a kiss do so on the cheek, not the mouth (there may be some countries where they do, but I doubt it, although I don't know).

In my country, it's normal to greet people we know with a kiss on the cheek(and it's not even a kiss, more like a touch of cheeks and the sound of a kiss, since the lips don't touch the cheek), but for people we don't know, the greeting is formal, meaning a handshake.

I can't post the screenshot but this what Google AI said:

AI overview
While cheek kissing is more common as a greeting in many cultures, particularly in Europe and Latin America, some cultures also practice kissing on the lips as a greeting, especially between close friends or family, and sometimes between men, though with variations across regions.

If this doesn't really exist, then I won't trust Google AI anymore. :censored:

It comes straight out of the void - nothing is there before, it just jumps at the player like some alien ready to face hug the life out of the game play, by jumping the story all over the place.

Do you kiss your old man on the lips?

What I seek to convey, nay, to etch into the very fabric of truth, is that such a thing doth verily exist not as a mere fancy of the mind, nor as a fleeting whisper upon the winds of speculation, but as a reality woven into the tapestry of existence itself.

For context I'm from the US (sorry) so we usually greet each other by shooting the other person with a small to medium caliber handgun. That said, I'm pretty sure the AI is just trying to trick Tech-bros into kissing each other on the mouth...

Thanks for the clarification. I'm not a native American so there will be a few culture clashes. Nice learning about it though.

Overview:
The main character of this game is a 20-year-old man named Tom. He was an orphan and was fortunate enough to be adopted by a middle-class family, Mr. and Mrs. Cruz, when he was just 3 months old. After officially adopting Tom, Mrs. Cruz took a pregnancy test, and the result was positive! The couple was overjoyed and very grateful to Tom because he was a lucky child. That's when Tom gained a childhood friend named Pauline. Even though they are not connected by blood, Tom can find happiness in having a complete family to call his own.

Because there is obviously going to be a route for Pauline to get with her dad??? It's not a harem game. You only get 1 or 2 girls in the end and if you're not gonna take Pauline why not throw a little daddy action in there. The mom ending up with the adopted son breaks Incest rules for most sites, so there's no reason this one can't happen. He listed a route where you get the mom and pauline, I'm hoping for a pauline and hana route...or even a pauline, hana, and mom route...that'd be the best.
In my playthrough, if I continue it, if Pauline doesn't end up having a relationship with the MC, she will end up single. And the same can be said for the rest of the LIs. Either with the MC or with no one.

Anyway, unless there's a harem ending, I'm not likely to continue playing.

even if it doesn't exist u gived the player a choice to choose idk why people talking about it when they can avoid it, they just want to make drama on anything, so just make ur game the way u want and give them the choice if u want or not.
and thanks for the game i really like it.
