Well I can't really give an opinion on the game since the sell item window refuses to pop up.  So while I cant make any money to progress others seem to enjoy what's in the prototype. 

I like what you have so far, when can we see any new content? There is definitely potential here!

How to cook a pastry with alcohol and have the price be 25 coins?

Game have different outfits for characters or characters customization?

Not right now but this is something I want to explore in the future.

I'm not sure why, but the game plays with a horrible framerate on my PC. It shouldn't be a system specs issue, so I'm at a total loss as to why it runs so poorly. Any advice?

May I ask what your speccs are?

Processor AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS with Radeon Graphics
Video Card AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics

how do you sell items?
i am at the counter but cant seem to sell anything no matter how many times i click an item or drag it anywhere..

Go to the white orb at the counter with the goldpouch icon. When the window opens up, click again on the goldpouch icon next to the shopping cart. this is the selling UI. once you click on an item a prompt shows where you can say how much you want to sell.

I'm aware the UI is pretty bad ^^"

I think the version here may be bugged then. No matter what I do, I cannot get this prompt to show..

I love the premise and art style though! I will watch closely for an update :)

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE MEAT

If you enter the cave and jump up to the second exit, don't take it but turn left, there is a third which leads to a small outside area with some crates. On those crates you should fine meat :)

Me encanta el juego, es estupendo
me gusta los juegos de explorar asi que es apenas para mi, los graficos son buenos y la Historia es entrenida aunque de vez en cuando se pierde uno un poco con los objetivos jajaja, el soundtrack es relajante y me parece acorde al bosque donde uno anda, me ha tirado de vez en cuando un error y se me cierra el juego en la parte donde esta el vodka y la carne y se me cierra el juego, tambien le baje los graficos a recomendado por si me tiraba lag uno nunca sabe, aunque considero que la optimizacion del juego esta bien. Actualmente ando buscando un lugar que se llamada graveyard" un libro y esperaba que alguien me ayudara con eso. de todos modos seguire buscando. Espero con ansias mas contenido para el futuro!!

Pd ya encontre el lugar, el juego es increible en todos los aspectos! 

It's great, and I hope that community translations, or machine-translated documents in other languages, are provided so that players can assist with their own translations and attract more players.

Could you add dropbox or another link to game?
Mega sucks, and im eager to test your game

doing installs from itch always feels like getting hacked =(

Really loved all the content so far, it's incredibly charming! If you would like some help with English translations or anything like that I would be very willingly to volunteer.

Looks great so far! I love the pretty world design and the animations are pretty good too! The soft background music is also good, although I feel the game needs more music tracks as there are only two songs.


Issues/bugs I found:

* You can continue to pick up the cookbook and knife set after the quest is done.

* You can hit esc to leave the buy menu, but doing the same in the cook menu will bring up the pause menu instead adding a little frustration

* Lots of minor typos. "BackedApple" should be "Baked Apple", "BluebarryMuffin" should be "Blueberry Muffin" and various other little things like that

* Wrong orders will still be taken by the customer (May or may not be a bug, unsure)

* Lucaria's confession will play a second time (Not sure if it was because of the options I picked or it that happens every time.

* There is no option to leave the sex scenes, players are forced to wait a minute or so after it finishes.

* There is some clipping in the sex scenes whether it be with the characters interacting with eachother, or with them clipping into the ground


My current recommendations:

* Make the cookbook usable, recipes are told by the customer as they need them, except for the potato soup and the fancy meat stew. It would be great if that cookbook you find could show up in the cooking menu to tell you the recipes.

* Add more sfx to the sex scenes please. There's no moaning or audio except for the music. 

*More music variation

* Provide a reason for why there are barriers all over the place. For example when you get close to a barrier it could say something like "complete xxx quest first to continue" or something similar to that.

* Food pricing needs some balancing, overall it seems ok but I'm assuming the Tigersteak sells for so much currently because it's the prototype and it allows people to quickly gain money to progress through the story.

* Auto organize ingredients, it's a little annoying having to reorganize all the ingredients when you sell or get new items

* Add a visibility/opacity option for the players dick

For anyone who needs it the potato soup recipe it is:
Water, potato, and two other ingredients

(Not saying what the other two ingredients are because the devs said pretty much the same thing with a different comment asking about the meatstew)

thanks for the extensive feedback; appreciated

We are aware of many issues the current state has such as the cookbook. Our code is extremely limited and once we have enough funding to hire an engineer, we are overhauling the cooking/recipes and adding much needed new features.

Nevertheless, feedback is extremely important to make the right changes once we reach that state (hopefully very soon:))

How do i get money? I cant buy the milk

(1 edit) (+1)

for example: go to the forest, collect at least 4 apples and go to the kitchen to cook an apple pie, sell at the corner of the counter = profit

(1 edit)

am i blind or is their no way to keep track of the recipes/food combos... as i cant figure out the fancy meat stew

(1 edit)

fancy refers to the overall gold value of the food. Play around with steak, mushrooms, potatoes and may 2 more ingredients:) hope that helped.


the recipes will get an overhaul at some point as they are not very intuitive right now.

I still can't find the ingredients and I feel like I've used everything... There's Milk or Water in it right

O download é muito grande para o Mega!

We went for first person not by a coin flip. The game will remain first person. :)

Ty For making this first person. 3rd person is bad for adult game as it can make people have issues irl with their sexuality <3 & it's more immersive in first person. Perfect choice! ^^
