Haven't played since launch and I'm just now getting caught back up so this may have already been answered (Sorry if it was!).
Could you help me understand why it is if we accept Debby we can't reject Lisa in the future?
It kinda bugs me because we (the player, anyways) haven't even met Lisa yet, we've only heard the backstory of her and MC. If we don't like her portrayal or how she was told to be in the story vs how she is now it'd suck to be locked in just because we accepted Debby.
Edit: It's made even more weird that we only get that warning with Debby, when we reach Lisa we don't receive any warnings or locks. At first I thought that maybe it was because we'd be cheating on our fiancé's and that we'd get a similar warning when Lisa appeared but we didn't so now I'm even more confused.
Hello there. Here is how things are with Lisa. You were in a relationship with Lisa for over 3 years. You got separated from her due to some unfortunate situations. So, the MC and Lisa are meant to have deep connections. If you accept Debby, from MC's point of view, if I am going to have a relationship with a Girl that you barely know, why would I reject Lisa whom I had a relationship for over 3 years? On top of that, Lisa and Debby will be living close to each other while working together. From MC's perspective, it felt too shitty to date Debby in front of her while rejecting Lisa.
Ummm I am the only one experiencing this?? I already encountered many events in the game like sex etc. but when I check the gallery all of it still lock and none of it isn't unlocked is this a bug? Or there is something I dont know? Helpp pls
The _V_1 to _V_2 update isn't working well, because it has the same DOF.exe name.
I mean yes it works, but it's confusing as hell to remember to use the 2nd .exe in the launcher.
I tried re-naming the _V_2 one in the files, but then it didn't want to run at all because the launcher didn't recognize the new file name.
Oh, and trying to delete the DOF.exe in the _V_1 folder caused me to have to reinstall it for some reason, because I think the game didn't recognize the _V_1 files/saves (?) to get the original info. in order to continue on...
Like I said, it works, but it might confuse a lot of ppl when they see the same DOF.exe as both options, as the top option always goes to the _V_1.
I see. I didn't know. I don't use my mobile to play game often. I saw that it was working so I used this name. I will keep it in mind before compiling it for the next time.
Besides the writing could have abit better flow (aware its not your first written language) . This game is hilarious 2-3hrs worth of content if you are willing to be patient. Kudos
I love this game! Not many games of this genre even try to do some of the things you do! For example, I love all the fourth wall breaking comments, and the like, as it is really funny! All in all, ten out of ten.
Very Good.This Game/VN is so Good that i give it 4 Stars. The Cast Of Girls Is so Varied and While 96% of Guys Like Big Breasts, I like all Sizes. So would it Be Possible to get a Few Girls with Small Breasts?
This game really surprised me. I cant really think of anything that I dont like about the game. The story is interesting, the characters are good, and the girls love them lol. Looking forward to the rest of the story. Also, Maria is best girl lol.
It's a fun game. Is there a taboo patch? I understand Patreon won't allow certain words but the roommate, tenet, and so on are slightly annoying. It occasionally seems out of place too. I'll still keep playing it regardless. I enjoyed it.
Any lewd patches or incest mods you find on Google or other sites are not supported by the developer, and some of them are against Patreon's tos. Don't ask for patches here
Just google the name of the game and a bunch of websites will pop up that have mods. The website called 'f95zone' has most of the things that you need.
If Mega you can't download using the Mega link, I don't think I can help you here. Try visiting my Patreon, or look for it on another site. It is available on many other websites. Visit my discord if you need further instructions.
ok just finished the update, absolutely loved it cant wait to see more i really hope that it gets really going with the next update and we get to see some content with lillith as i really liker her ( really have a thing for redheads lol). keep up the good work and awsome job
ps forgot to ask with there be pregnancy in the game?
Anyway to change this whole landlady/tenant crap.. It ruins the whole immersion of this story I cant take seriously, it makes no dam sense.
Landlady - a woman who owns and leases an apartment, house, land, etc., to others. Tenant - a person or group that rents and occupies land, a house, an office, or the like, from another for a period of time; lessee.
Taken from dictionary.com. Obviously these are not the correct terms on how this story plays out. Using my common sense, it should be mother and son right ? Or maybe "fathers girlfriend/servant" if you're trying to avoid any incest routes (I dont mind any of those routes, makes it more spicy).
So right now im just left so confused trying to follow the story.
You should know that games using this and other words to refer to relatives are games mainly supported by patreon. It's not the devs fault, it's yours for simply not looking up an incest patch, a rather common thing to be made nowdays, for games fully focused on the tag or not.
Yes as the other commenters put, there is an actual reason for that, which might be worth checking out. I would definitely download the patch, the other commenters mentioned, and that should clear up the confusion, for all the games that have this. Goodluck.
I absolutely loved what this game is setting up it shows great promise. i look forward to playing every update to this. Though i have one question. it seems there was a small update recently and it seems its hosted on a third party website. Is that correct? I just wanted to make sure it wasn't an issue on my end?
Ahh, thank you for liking the project! I appreciate your willingness to support the project. But please, do not go out of your comfort zone to support this.
Plus, there are other ways of supporting a project. Such as finding out what the game lacks, pointing out the mistakes, giving it a positive review, etc.
A gallery to view all of the scenes would be great. This upcoming training arc would be a great place to introduce the selection of choices (Like in a fight or when answering a test). A menu with all of the romantic interests would also be great but the depends on whether you want the player to have the ability to earn/lose relationship points with the character or not.
A gallery is something I will try to add, or I will take the help of someone to add it. As of now, there is not enough content, where you need a gallery.
There will be no training arc. The training part will be skipped. Nothing Much is supposed to happen during the training part.
I will try to make a menu in the future where you can see your scores.
amazing games looks great man. i would love if there was an optional choice to have more ntr but its your game and either way i cant wait to see what you do with the game
Welp, finally finished the game ("finished") and what a trip... this was just a prologue? Holy shit...
Anyway, as I promised here's a humble review including some points on your reply to my first comment, which I appreciate. This will be rather long because this game has some serious potential, so I want to cover every single point with an honest, detailed opinion.
First and foremost, a good plot even though it takes from several other games, movies, and everything else in it's themes including the whole "Friendship (or polygamous love, in this case) is magic" with a little bit of "become the alpha" and this is not a bad thing because, the way I see it, some plots and tropes are timeless and their success depend entirely on how they're used.
For my second point I'll take the opportunity that the game is currently a prologue and go straight to pointing out what I didn't like or felt odd, if my opinion is worth anything, that is. I mean, there are some people who want to see literal rape in games, so...
First off, and this bothers me often, the MC. No, not his personality, no, not (most of) his actions, his FACE. If this was a kinetic AVN, I wouldn't mind seeing him, seeing what he looks like even though males for some reason always look the same (and are ugly as fuck) in adult games. But since this is a straight up choice-based AVN, things would work a lot differently if we could experience at least 90% of the game through the MC's eyes. Let me use a good example here: that scene on the pool with Leyla and Samir. He asks some rather deep, serious questions about what kind of man the MC is in the love and sex department (in an elegant manner, of course), but I, the player, didn't feel particularly pressured by the choices I was making. Why? Because Samir was looking at "someone else". You get it? Re-imagine that scene in a POV manner, with him almost literally looking at the player. People judge you based on everything you do and/or say, and some people simply don't give a fuck while other people live based on how others judge him/her (which is a sad lifestyle), and Samir would do exactly that with his eyes and his words to the player, and the player himself would feel more pressured to be honest, to lie or do whatever he/she thinks is right.
Second, and this is a problem seen often on games that, after becoming big, is too late to fix: the build-up, sexual or otherwise, of the game. I know that this was just the prologue but it has to be discussed nonetheless.
On the sexual front, game literally starts with a sex scene to introduce us the main character, OUR character. My opinion on it? Totally unnecessary. Yes, the scene can happen, but let the tension build up a little bit. Example of how that scene could be remade: we see the MC sitting on his bed, clearly trying to put his thoughts together or something and, instead of introducing himself, put a narrator in the game and name the character right then and there saying "this is your story... the story of the man known as...", ok maybe less dramatic. After that he answers the door, because he was waiting for his friend (forgot her name, she vanished and we were introduced to 100 other characters, hard to keep up) who wanted to visit, they chat a for a while and the conversation eventually drifts towards how the MC and his childhood friend used to blow steam off together, which is all a try to tease him and make him unleash his beast on her. THAT is a good way to build up the tension.
Story wise I felt the same, even for a prologue and with "average reading speed", it felt rather rushed. From that red-eyed woman, a detail that made who she was obvious to me, crying about a big discovery to Maria (the very same lady) and her friend/agent (forgot her name as well, only re-appeared by the end of the prologue) busting down the door to meet/save the MC, everything felt at least a little bit rushed, again EVEN for a prologue. If taken care of now, this problem will never bother you again down the road. You won't have this mentioned in every single review in every release of a new version.
Last point, and this one bothered me the least but still left a big "?" stapled on my forehead whenever it happened: outcome of choices. What are they? In your reply to my earlier comment you mentioned the Karma and Lust system. A system that never fails if planned correctly early on alongside a good script, however whenever there was a choice, I couldn't feel the changes (third time, yes, prologue, but still), be it by the visual reaction of the characters or by the dialogue, which is my go-to mean of evaluating the impact of my choices, I simply couldn't feel it, or at all in some cases.
I will use an example of a choice that probably confused me the most: the one about Mina and Lily having sex to help Lily bear with the side effects of facing her fear of men. She leaves entirely up to the player and says something like "if you do mind that...", and when she says this I believe she was talking about exclusively the act itself, one of his future wives having sex with another woman, not the the raw fact of two girls having sex. It's not meant to call the player a homophobic son of a bitch. Am I right? Because the choice itself doesn't make me feel the change at all, and I literally put in more logic on this one choice. Mina says that Lily will "love him" after she tells her that he allowed them to keep doing what they're doing, so what I understand is that the player HAS to let it happen to get to Lily later on if he wants to? (I don't even know if we can at all, but I'll cover this point soon) Or is this more of a route system? The player can let Lily and Mina do what they're doing and get close to Lily as it happens OR tell Mina to stop and build his relationship with Lily from scratch and help her face her fear as he does so, which would make sense because she'd be doing it with someone she KNOWS she can trust... supposedly. What I mean with all of this is: the system is good here, it just needs refinement related to the outcome, same goes for lust which is even more confusing because you went with numbers for that one choice with Leyla, numbers that aren't kept anywhere. And no, I'm not asking for you to add colored text saying "Good Karma increased" or "X character's lust increased to 69", just refine the outcome. Reactions, dialogue, etc.
Now with all of that out of the way, let's get to the point I just mentioned using Lily as an example. About "getting to her", I mean. This is in fact a harem game, and the harem is part of the plot itself, and it's not uncommon for harem games to have a cast of main girls, in the case of I-word games this one involves mostly family members and close friends of the family, and a cast of side girls. With that said: who will actually be available for relationships in the game? For the record, I picked Normal mode. And even with that, I kept asking myself which girls would end up being options, which ones were main girls and which ones were side girls, if there is a main and side cast AT ALL. After you killed that "Mr. Walker" dude (which pleased me a lot, he's the kind of scum I'd love to beat into next friday) I thought "Welp... KK just gonna kill every husband in the game, won't he? This will be a big ass harem full of girls and widows" and I hope that's not the case. I can see how the deaths of some male characters can impact the story in a good way, like fuelling the MC's drive to become king and avenge them (that goes for you Anton, pretty sure you're next...) or just scum like Mr. Walker getting what they deserve. By the way, I made this joke about Mr. Rossbem and... y'know... I'm not saying I WANT him dead but... Maria is pretty hot... and I have a thing for powerful woman, but that's me. Judge all you want. Anyway, I'm just curious to know if we'll only ever get the 5 girls of the main harem needed for the battle of heirs and THEN develop the other relationships in a second/third and final part of the game or if it'll be a secret thing between the MC and the other characters who aren't the 5 girls. Because you did bother to change all the names to landlady and what not, unless this was done only because of Lilith who is the first girl mentioned by Maria.
--
NOW, on to what I did like about the game. First the story itself, a mix of timeless tropes like I said but interesting in it's own right. It's set in the modern world but with a glimpse into the middle ages, it's a mix I've never seen before, the modern world with the misoginy, prejudice, raw corruption and mad power grab of the old kingdoms. I like your special attention to the characters's personalities, honestly as a guy who actually respects women, nothing pleased me than seeing things like Maria killing that gang leader or getting Mr. Walker off of the equation. I hope we see more respectable people, men and women alike, later on.
The music selection was nice, rather standard free-to-use material but I can see that you put some work on picking the ones that suited the scenes, I exceptionally liked the one used for Maria's penthouse scene. I'm a sucker for Trap/Drill beats, and that one really set the mood for the scene. (Btw I looked for the name of the song in the game's files but forgot I was playing on android 😅 so if you have it...).
About the designs and animations, pretty good as well, and I KNOW the animations were good because my phone couldn't handle most of them. Already debating on playing the game on my laptop, might reach a conclusion before the next release, but these were well made. Like I said male characters all look the same because of the engines, even if you put all the work in the world on them, but the girls looked unique (also cute and/or hot) in their own right.
All in all, a good, solid game with an ungodly amount of potential. Keep getting those updates out and you'll see the fanbase growing with them. That's just the way the game goes. (pun 101% intended)
In itch, there is only one version of my current game. In PC or MAC, If you save the game in the current version and do not delete your user data, you can load it in the future versions.
If you have further questions, join my discord and ask me about them.
There should be a folder called JM. It should be on your phone storage. In that folder, there is a file called jm.desireoffate. The save files are located there. Just don't delete that.
This game looks fine, certainly has a story and proper characters, has a bit of humour, and is worth checking out. For me, the custom language used to avoid referring to 'sister', 'family', and so on was used oddly. It would be better if fewer relationships used this customization. 'Guardian' and 'ward' seem more appropriate defaults than 'landlord' and 'tenant' (unless that's a running joke in adult games?).

Any preview of new update???
Unfortunately, the new update will still take a month due to some technical issues I faced. I will give a post before the end of the month.
It's end of the month???
Sorry about it. I focused on the codes, so I don't have all the previews ready. I will get em up as soon as I cam.
Which version should i download to b able to play this game on android
.apk version or android version.
When is the pregnancy stuff going to be implemented?
As said before, this will take a while to manifest.
Haven't played since launch and I'm just now getting caught back up so this may have already been answered (Sorry if it was!).
Could you help me understand why it is if we accept Debby we can't reject Lisa in the future?
It kinda bugs me because we (the player, anyways) haven't even met Lisa yet, we've only heard the backstory of her and MC. If we don't like her portrayal or how she was told to be in the story vs how she is now it'd suck to be locked in just because we accepted Debby.
Edit: It's made even more weird that we only get that warning with Debby, when we reach Lisa we don't receive any warnings or locks. At first I thought that maybe it was because we'd be cheating on our fiancé's and that we'd get a similar warning when Lisa appeared but we didn't so now I'm even more confused.
Hello there.
Here is how things are with Lisa. You were in a relationship with Lisa for over 3 years. You got separated from her due to some unfortunate situations. So, the MC and Lisa are meant to have deep connections. If you accept Debby, from MC's point of view, if I am going to have a relationship with a Girl that you barely know, why would I reject Lisa whom I had a relationship for over 3 years? On top of that, Lisa and Debby will be living close to each other while working together. From MC's perspective, it felt too shitty to date Debby in front of her while rejecting Lisa.
Ahhh, I see now. Thanks for explaining that to me!
Can't wait for the next update, hope things are going smoothly for you!
good game. make lesbian content avoidable though. some of us dont like it, alright blud?
I loved the game when is the new update date
2 months from now on, since 3 months = 1 update
Why this delay..?
Yo dev any plans for lezdom ?
Like when mina and lily are having sex with mc lily can wear a strap on and mc with his dick can double penetrate mina at the same time
Or lily and mc can both have sex and tease mina while she is helplessly tied up and then relieve her later
Yes. there are plans for that kind of content.
Let's go baby I love lezdom
i like this game but why are u having the character say landlady or land lord when we all know that they are related? its making even more confusing
Search the name of the game on google. You will find an incest 'patch'. It will fix this problem.

LUFFY?!?!

Example of how that scene could be remade: we see the MC sitting on his bed, clearly trying to put his thoughts together or something and, instead of introducing himself, put a narrator in the game and name the character right then and there saying "this is your story... the story of the man known as...", ok maybe less dramatic. After that he answers the door, because he was waiting for his friend (forgot her name, she vanished and we were introduced to 100 other characters, hard to keep up) who wanted to visit, they chat a for a while and the conversation eventually drifts towards how the MC and his childhood friend used to blow steam off together, which is all a try to tease him and make him unleash his beast on her. THAT is a good way to build up the tension.
Story wise I felt the same, even for a prologue and with "average reading speed", it felt rather rushed. From that red-eyed woman, a detail that made who she was obvious to me, crying about a big discovery to Maria (the very same lady) and her friend/agent (forgot her name as well, only re-appeared by the end of the prologue) busting down the door to meet/save the MC, everything felt at least a little bit rushed, again EVEN for a prologue. If taken care of now, this problem will never bother you again down the road. You won't have this mentioned in every single review in every release of a new version.
Last point, and this one bothered me the least but still left a big "?" stapled on my forehead whenever it happened: outcome of choices. What are they? In your reply to my earlier comment you mentioned the Karma and Lust system. A system that never fails if planned correctly early on alongside a good script, however whenever there was a choice, I couldn't feel the changes (third time, yes, prologue, but still), be it by the visual reaction of the characters or by the dialogue, which is my go-to mean of evaluating the impact of my choices, I simply couldn't feel it, or at all in some cases.
I will use an example of a choice that probably confused me the most: the one about Mina and Lily having sex to help Lily bear with the side effects of facing her fear of men. She leaves entirely up to the player and says something like "if you do mind that...", and when she says this I believe she was talking about exclusively the act itself, one of his future wives having sex with another woman, not the the raw fact of two girls having sex. It's not meant to call the player a homophobic son of a bitch. Am I right? Because the choice itself doesn't make me feel the change at all, and I literally put in more logic on this one choice. Mina says that Lily will "love him" after she tells her that he allowed them to keep doing what they're doing, so what I understand is that the player HAS to let it happen to get to Lily later on if he wants to? (I don't even know if we can at all, but I'll cover this point soon) Or is this more of a route system? The player can let Lily and Mina do what they're doing and get close to Lily as it happens OR tell Mina to stop and build his relationship with Lily from scratch and help her face her fear as he does so, which would make sense because she'd be doing it with someone she KNOWS she can trust... supposedly. What I mean with all of this is: the system is good here, it just needs refinement related to the outcome, same goes for lust which is even more confusing because you went with numbers for that one choice with Leyla, numbers that aren't kept anywhere. And no, I'm not asking for you to add colored text saying "Good Karma increased" or "X character's lust increased to 69", just refine the outcome. Reactions, dialogue, etc.
Now with all of that out of the way, let's get to the point I just mentioned using Lily as an example. About "getting to her", I mean. This is in fact a harem game, and the harem is part of the plot itself, and it's not uncommon for harem games to have a cast of main girls, in the case of I-word games this one involves mostly family members and close friends of the family, and a cast of side girls. With that said: who will actually be available for relationships in the game? For the record, I picked Normal mode. And even with that, I kept asking myself which girls would end up being options, which ones were main girls and which ones were side girls, if there is a main and side cast AT ALL. After you killed that "Mr. Walker" dude (which pleased me a lot, he's the kind of scum I'd love to beat into next friday) I thought "Welp... KK just gonna kill every husband in the game, won't he? This will be a big ass harem full of girls and widows" and I hope that's not the case. I can see how the deaths of some male characters can impact the story in a good way, like fuelling the MC's drive to become king and avenge them (that goes for you Anton, pretty sure you're next...) or just scum like Mr. Walker getting what they deserve. By the way, I made this joke about Mr. Rossbem and... y'know... I'm not saying I WANT him dead but... Maria is pretty hot... and I have a thing for powerful woman, but that's me. Judge all you want. Anyway, I'm just curious to know if we'll only ever get the 5 girls of the main harem needed for the battle of heirs and THEN develop the other relationships in a second/third and final part of the game or if it'll be a secret thing between the MC and the other characters who aren't the 5 girls. Because you did bother to change all the names to landlady and what not, unless this was done only because of Lilith who is the first girl mentioned by Maria.

NOW, on to what I did like about the game. First the story itself, a mix of timeless tropes like I said but interesting in it's own right. It's set in the modern world but with a glimpse into the middle ages, it's a mix I've never seen before, the modern world with the misoginy, prejudice, raw corruption and mad power grab of the old kingdoms. I like your special attention to the characters's personalities, honestly as a guy who actually respects women, nothing pleased me than seeing things like Maria killing that gang leader or getting Mr. Walker off of the equation. I hope we see more respectable people, men and women alike, later on.
The music selection was nice, rather standard free-to-use material but I can see that you put some work on picking the ones that suited the scenes, I exceptionally liked the one used for Maria's penthouse scene. I'm a sucker for Trap/Drill beats, and that one really set the mood for the scene. (Btw I looked for the name of the song in the game's files but forgot I was playing on android 😅 so if you have it...).
About the designs and animations, pretty good as well, and I KNOW the animations were good because my phone couldn't handle most of them. Already debating on playing the game on my laptop, might reach a conclusion before the next release, but these were well made. Like I said male characters all look the same because of the engines, even if you put all the work in the world on them, but the girls looked unique (also cute and/or hot) in their own right.
All in all, a good, solid game with an ungodly amount of potential. Keep getting those updates out and you'll see the fanbase growing with them. That's just the way the game goes. (pun 101% intended)
Can hardly wait for what comes next!
Hey How I Save My Data To New Version?
In itch, there is only one version of my current game.
In PC or MAC, If you save the game in the current version and do not delete your user data, you can load it in the future versions.
If you have further questions, join my discord and ask me about them.
i am on phone
There should be a folder called JM. It should be on your phone storage. In that folder, there is a file called jm.desireoffate. The save files are located there. Just don't delete that.
And?
For now, just don't delete the file called jm.desireoffate in JM folder.
It should be compatible with future versions.
Does the android version is only the prologue? I can't seem to find the link for the android version other than the prologue.
Every version is the prologue. But the prologue is considered quite big by most people.
Oh, ok.
Good job, the game is gonna be one of the best if it continues like this
This game looks fine, certainly has a story and proper characters, has a bit of humour, and is worth checking out. For me, the custom language used to avoid referring to 'sister', 'family', and so on was used oddly. It would be better if fewer relationships used this customization. 'Guardian' and 'ward' seem more appropriate defaults than 'landlord' and 'tenant' (unless that's a running joke in adult games?).
What!? How dare you!
That's heresy! I do not commit such a crime as incest. I am a true Christian follower who goes to the church every fricking day!
Seriously though, I will think about what you said. Guardian and ward don't sound bad.
Damn girls are so fine
