Well at least it seems that you care about what we think. It's a plus point, but come on, surely 80% of the fans wants is more history and for relationships to advance xd. Hopefully we don't have to wait too long for the next haha.(y)
Now that the rebuild is complete, story progression can resume as primary focus.

Holy hell I haven't seen this game in a long time, I think this is the 3rd game I played on this site. Good to know the developer is still working on this project.

After trying it, I'm fairly neutral on the new contract style. I personally like text style games a lot, but I am very used to a very deep and dense system with games in that style. So I like the new style, but it's kind of hard to really get into it compared to text games that are very detailed and much more in depth, etc. I think I would be ok either way, as I mostly want to get back to the main story and kind of play contracts as a grind to complete overall missions. If the new style had much more depth, I'd probably favor it personally.

I still think the best strength of the game is the overall narrative and characters. This game still has some of my favorite art ever, and it influenced me to even try things myself. I have a few minor suggestions that may or may not be useful to anyone involved in the game. Cordia's birthday is listed as February 31 in her bio (maybe just change it to the 28th or something), the Knowledge stat in the shop isn't capitalized, and I personally kind of feel like the "Success" audio/music when completing a mission is a little too loud compared to other music but maybe I am messing up a setting or something. I'm looking forward to seeing more down the road. :)

Well its good to see this game finally getting an update, frankly however I'll be waiting for VN Mode before I play this again, VNs are really the best for games made with Ren'Py. CYOA games I'd consider effectively part of the whole VN style of games, along with Kinetic Novels, except with a greater emphasis on the story but still largely down to a game of choices without really any other gameplay mechanics, while the latter is basically again a VN but without any real choices at all.

Otherwise Management type games with running a monster girl ranch or some sort of adult entertainment / sex industry business if made with stuff like Unity or more Text based versions in HTML are fine. Also there are the rare descent RPG games made with RPG Maker or Unity.

Beyond that, this site is a place mostly for adult games, and frankly that sort of games tend to be better focus on more character relationships driven stories which mean they are better in VN format. Else Management games will cover the fetishes related to control of a large group of beings. And the RPGs tend to be for those that only want a touch of sexual content on the side of some adventures, allowing to expand on the relationship mechanics you can find in RPG games.

Everything else tend to suck, adding any gameplay mechanics to lengthen a VN effectively only serve to make them worst, and every games outside of VN, Management or RPGs, like puzzles are an absolute waste of time since at that point you might as well just be looking at porn.

Initial impressions in the introduction, mostly nitpicky things which aren't a big deal:

- The title screen redesign looks great. Definitely an incredible job done on that. The font choice is crisp and fitting.

- The "Experience" screen is sort of confusing. The game is objectively a VN; the three choices don't imply the ramifications they'll have. In a game that is a VN, what's the difference between 'Full Experience,' 'Story+Freeroam,' and 'VN only?' The first option doesn't explain what that means, Story+Freeroam is what you expect out of a VN that has freeroam, and VN only seems redundant. I'd slap some hover tooltips on those choices to provide context on what they actually mean.

- Based on the intro, MC is an everyday man much like I assume everyone on this forum is yet he speaks like a British Royal. This is not the way common people communicate in a casual setting or any setting really, "No, im fairly sure no one bears such ill feelings towards me. I live a rather mundane life." Something like this seems like a normal reply to that convo, "Not that im aware of. I live a pretty boring life."

Again, not a big deal. What I listed are just things that immediately stuck out to me in the introduction without having to actively look for them.

HopesGaming Just for stats purposes, generally I liked the new contract system, but their rewards at the start of the game are a little underwhelming. Also, it would be nicer if the screens that describe what's going on when you move to a new tile didn't need a second click to reveal the actions you can take in said tile.
Thank you for the feedback! Will look into that.

No worries, I had to stop playing after the 1st 3.
I did the 1st one about x10, exploring all options that were currently possible.
Did the 2nd one x3 & the 3rd once, before losing patience with the system itself.

What I meant, with prev comment, is that I shouldn't lose a Mission Point for failing an interaction with an NPC who has nothing to do with the mission. Why does failure to purchase a book, from a market trader, cause me to lose a Mission Point when my mission is to steal items, which I've done? It doesn't make sense & it's the first contract.
Hmm. Shouldn't lose MP for the trader unless it's for the bargain. And the book isn't important for the success of the contract.


Now that the rebuild is complete, story progression can resume as the primary focus.
Yup, focus is back on the story and the side contracts won't take much time now as most are done by contract creators.

Thanks for the feedback. Can't speak for the other two points since I'm just a hired-help writer but as for the third - I personally see the MC as a kind of a nerdy brainy dude. Sure - he takes care of himself physically to look like a sports dude - but judging by his internal dialogue he's the slightly snobby intellectual who silently judges people but isn't a total douche about it by saying it out loud. But in secret - I'm pretty sure he's spent a weekend memorizing famous Latin quotes and he spends way to much time philosophizing about the world and the "right" and "wrong" in the world. So him speaking in a slightly aloof/snobbish way seems quite in character :D

Pretty sure you get a gun as part of the main story. But don't quote me on it. I'm still replaying the game and it's been long since I first played it from the start. But thx for feedback. Maybe the Contract that requires a gun should be locked until you get the gun :D

EDIT: Apparently it's a bug and has been already fixed. When the bugfix gets released it'll work fine.

If I had the money, resources, and connections, I'd try to get this game made into live action series, because damnit, the storytelling is movie/comedic drama series levels that I feel should be experienced by the masses.
