Testing the Waters Part 2 - Quick Update
Added 2025-08-14 01:57:07 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
First... it's actually happening. Around 24 hours until release for Platinum tier.
So what happened? Honestly, I underestimated how complex this update would become. With 4 distinct narrative paths (Tease Queen/Submissive Pet routes plus the Ari/Terrace dynamics), what started as a large update began feeling paper-thin when split across all branches. Each path deserved proper attention, especially since this update covers pivotal story moments that set up the rest of the arc.
Rather than release something half-baked, I made the call to expand it significantly. The result: 40,000 words and 250 CGs - essentially double what I initially planned. Every route now has the depth and content it deserves.
I know the radio silence didn't help. When you're deep in crunch mode, balancing day job and development, the last thing that feels productive is stopping to explain why things aren't done yet. That is a mistake on my part but it does help to enter a no-distractions mode.
All that remains is the final verification... typos, sound/BGM placement, variable validation, that kinda stuff.
I genuinely appreciate everyone's patience (and even the frustrated comments - I get it!).
I have a lot of messages to catch up.
The wait ends tomorrow. And I do believe it was worth it.
Cheers,
Tori
EDIT:
I will update here how's the final typos/bgm/variable verification going - for visibility. Be patient. Will update here every couple of hours if you want to check: 18 out of 21 DONE - need to do a small break brb. Almost done.
I'm back. 20 out of 21 DONE.
It is now done! Let me just do one final pass.
Preparing the post and uploading...

Fair points! I’m also not a fan of humiliation in NTS, and hope this type of content will be minimal. It would make more sense in the TQ route too, and less in the SP route

2025-09-15 04:09:55 +0000 UTCFirst of all, I’d like to thank the developer — it’s clear that he’s really putting effort and dedication into this game. Everything below is just my personal opinion and concerns about the game’s future direction. I really enjoyed the beginning of the game: the characters feel quite lively, and the author gradually reveals and develops them. It all happens at a reasonable pace (at least so far). But what’s been happening in the recent updates seems to be leading the game in a not-so-great direction, in my opinion. The fact that the protagonist enjoys watching or sharing his partner is one thing (of course that’s not for everyone, but everyone knew what kind of game this would be). However, the way the author keeps putting emphasis on penis size (first Ayumi’s ex from work, then Terrace, and now Kai) makes me worry about where the story is heading. I just don’t see the point of constantly undermining the protagonist in this regard. This could lead to a very unpleasant (in my opinion) development of the story, which already feels a bit obvious. I really hope that won’t happen, or at least that it will be possible to avoid it, because I genuinely like this game a lot. In any case, I’d like to once again thank the developer and repeat that everything I said above doesn’t make the game bad or diminish it in any way. This is just my personal opinion.
