A downloadable project for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
"I don't like that guy in the mirror, I don't see that face in my head."
"I try to remember the shape of it, look away, and forget instead."
"He may as well not have one."
"This noise in my mind has gotten too loud, I'm doing enough thinking for two."
"If I split in half all the things I think, could I leave these thoughts with you?"
"I'll have them."
"They say I'm this way, I say I'm that way. I'm not so sure which is true."
"You'd think I'd know me best of all, but I'm not so sure I do."
""The Devil Chile" is as I'm called, by tongues so sharp and baleful."
"At least this way I might take comfort in being God's once favorite angel."
"Who are you?"
Synopsis
Your mother is dead.
Shortly after you bury her, your estranged father reaches out to you, requesting that you uproot your life to travel to another country and move in with him. Being a young, dependent adult, you accept his offer, despite the fact that he is hardly more than a stranger to you.
As a result, you've found yourself in a foreign household, in a foreign country, forced to restart your degree programme.
The life you've lived thus far has made you an abrasive individual that struggles to accept the kindness and affections of others. However, attending this new university, meeting these new people and sharing in new experiences causes buried sentiments to become uprooted.
You will question yourself. Your worth, your value as a human being, your intellect and awareness.
You will grow. You will change. Whether or not you like it, these people will touch your soul, enter your mind and affect you in some way.
Who will affect you?
How will you be affected?
That is for you to decide.
This experience is centered on the self.
You will find romance here. You will find love, admiration, lust and debauchery, but this experience is about you.
Learning you-
Developing you-
For the sake of you-
Any anyone you feel befitting to benefit from what you become.
Afterword
Your choices are meaningful and impact not only the ways in which events unfold, but also the behaviors of those involved. As of V0.1, the consequences of your decisions have yet to manifest, but as we advance, you will see this come into play.

I plan to add more characters, include animations and produce more and better music, visuals and literature. I intend to touch on topics relating to trauma, mental illness, dysmorphia, morality, mortality and many more while also expanding on sexual encounters and various fetishes.
I have a lot of ideas that I'd love to bring into reality and any support you provide would go directly into improving the quality, quantity and frequency of future updates. Considering the fact that I started with zero knowledge, or background, in anything artistic, I'd say I've learned quite a bit already, and we have quite a ways to go still.

My man, i gotta tell you. You're some kind of a genius. I don't have a single thing to complain about this project, only to congratulate. I'll be waiting anxiously for more and wishing good luck.
that means a hell of a lot to me.
i've been desperate to hear people's thoughts and feedback ever since i published this, but i've gotten nothing but silent interaction so far (for the most part). it's quite satisfying to receive actual words from an actual person, whether they be positive or negative.
that aside, you can rest assured that this project is one i aim to see to completion. honestly, my mind is overflowing with ideas and inspiration.
if you've been entertained thus far, just you wait 'til the next update. we're literally just getting started.
I was surprised to see that i was the first to comment. But in this case i will explain some more: I think your game has a very original style, very artistc, even. Both in the narrative and the overall designs.
The MC is a very interesting and mysterious dude, (with a model that draws attention for i'ts singularity even before knowing much of the story), the other characters are also intriguing and promissing (especially Celeste and her father: jesus christ himself), Your characters really seem very real, profund, quick and/or smart, this always adds to the immersion.
You also have a very special attention to the graphic details, transitions, textures and stuff. the scenarios are neat, the spicy scene(s) are(is) also very good, even more for a first release.
Unfortunatelly i recently found out that my card doesn't work on patreon, but if you ever plan to put it on steam, i'll definitely buy it. (as long as you keep the good work, then, haha). Your game seems like one of those that really deserve the recognition. I'm glad to be one of the first.
being recognized for my originality is probably the greatest compliment i could receive. it means my efforts are showing and that's more praise than i could ever ask for.
i went out of my way to design characters that look nothing like you'd usually see in projects like this, which meant making a whole lot myself instead of grabbing assets wherever i could find them. this applies not only to visuals, but music, sound design and writing too. honestly, this first release could've been finished in only a few months, but my passion wouldn't let me take the easy way out. after all, the project isn't original simply for the sake of standing out, a ridiculous amount of thought was put into everything here, from the characters' names, to the way they speak, to the way they dress themselves, the colors that they wear and how they style their hair (or don't).
in terms of the narrative, ever since i was young (around 10 or 11), i was told that i have a knack for writing. indie developers like myself are typically good at one or two aspects of game design (if any). personally, mine is prose and abstract literature. the plot follows a story that comes to me on impulse as my subconscious mind gathers inspiration from anywhere and everywhere. everything else that i put into this, i've had to learn from scratch. truthfully, i'm no coder, artist or musician.
this, added to the fact that i made this entire thing on a 10 year old lenovo that can't even run windows 11, with no gpu and graphics drivers that can't update past 2011, had me spend the better part of 3 years getting over the learning curve, building and rendering this out. if that doesn't convey my commitment, i don't know what will.
i'm glad you took an interest in celeste, admittedly, i was certain that she would be the one that stood out most in this version. rest assured, the other characters that you've come across (as well that those that you have yet to meet) have just as much depth as celeste does. they'll be getting more screen time in the coming update (celeste and her dad too).
i'm glad you noticed my use of the transitions as well. on other forums, commenters have taken issue with the text speed and act as though it has ruined the entire experience for them. honestly, i use it as a tool to emulate speech and non-verbally convey mood and tone, be it awkward, shocked or frantic. i'm happy to see someone is able to appreciate that.
regarding graphics, i assure you, i can do so much better. it's just that my system can't handle the stress of rendering animation. i wanted to animate in v0.1 and honestly, i'm not sure if i want to publish v0.2 without animations. for so many people, animated 18+ scenes is a bare-minimum requirement and i want to live up to that. i want to do better, but can't just yet.
i may publish the game to steam, either when it's finished or near completion. i do accept and greatly appreciate any support that i'm given, but i don't know if i could put a price tag on this just yet. simply because i know that i can do so much better with enough time and better resources.
sorry about the essay lol
you've just given me the opportunity to share, and i couldn't help but take it. i haven't been able to really talk to anyone about this, not even my good friends. it feels quite nice to be able to engage with someone who's interested.
I'd imagine how hard must be keeping a project this big a secret, for everyone. I also don't have anyone to talk about things like that, so i know a bit how it is. Rest assured that your commitment to the idea is very appreciated and inspires confidence in your work. I've noticed the other mentioned assets of your project, like i said in the first comment: No complaints, only praises. which is very rare to see (even more in your case, a hardware-miracle-worker).
I like good games with great stories and good lewd scenes, but the ones that i feel so intrigued to the point of playing mostly for the story, these are my favorites, the ones that i really don't bother to pay for. (but keep making the lewd, tho! they're too good to miss, it seems hehe).
Also, given that no one else bothered to show up yet, i'll use this as my personal chat, step over the line and tell you to feel free to call me a friend if you need to talk. Up to you, boss.
Good luck, anyway and i'll pray that celeste's dad will give you a cool brand new rig soon.
i enjoy making the lewd scenes, and i thoroughly enjoy writing and scripting them, and i'm excited to experiment more with the 18+ aspect of my project, so rest assured, more lewds will come lol
i really do value your response and feedback so i'll certainly be taking you up on that offer, so keep in touch.
for now, my main objective is to update my hardware, while focusing on writing and composing new tunes for the soundtrack. when the update is ready, i'll be looking out for your take on it.
