hola, venia con una duda, el juego esta traducido al espaǹol? me encantan esta clase de juegos tipo sandbox con historia y no podria disfrutarlo del todo ya que mi ingles es basico, de ser asi podria incluso unirme al patreon como agradecimiento de una traduccion, gracias por crear un muy buen juego, aun no lo pruebo pero mis conocidos les encanto y me lo recomendaron
Good character design you did there the game look interesting but I want to ask are the scenes animated?
There are animated scenes and there will be more in the future :)
Thanks for the reply ❤️
I'm confused first time talking to fox girl after a week she mentioned a crime scene with plague doc but the scene never played out? did I miss it and have to go back doing everything before talking to fox or is it possible to trigger it later even though characters acted like I saw it? also history font is too hard to read! how come that student council weirdo is a main girl? really hope her plot isn't some femdom bs where mc becomes spineless, it's going to take too much to redeem her foolishness
This is either some top tier rage bait or you are just stupid
does the game have chinese?
The game does not currently have any translations aside from english
im so deadass lemme crack the fox
youre so real for that
Dont call me a friend, call me twin
More scenes of Parker please.
i wanna crack the foxxxxxxxxxxxx why man youre killing me here
will there be an option to crack kitsune in the future?
there better be more femboys to crack
That's what i'm sayin. Blue thing and Pierre sex when?
Peak.
bro out here making a banger.lookin forward to the future updates.
I hope Joe Biden checks out this game too
is there an actual h scene
Yezzir!
I cant get enough of this game, i need more asap
Another amazing update, I do love how the story is going and you see how this is going, with also the MC naturally getting shit for bad decisions, and also why many of the girls do fall for him (imo) naturally.
If there is 1 problem I really have, which is small and you can easily argue is so petty/pointless, I do dislike the ARG or well, secret stuff, is in all different kinds of ciphers. Like for Lesson in Love, it is always HEX, but here is HEX, Base 64, etc. Again, tiny thing, but this recent update it took me way way too long to find the secret small extra fun thing shown, since I was trying to find the right thing.
But outside that, still easily the best looking models in the game (Like legit, it is amazing how amazing every model does look), and I really love the story.
Mina needs more screen time 😭✌
Absolutely great visual style.
Great update thanks for adding more content to Brooklyn MY BELOVED. I really enjoyed the horror elements, especially the whole sequence inside the mind, dunkle funkle seemed like a nice man (kinda) just disturbed by our presence, hope to see him again (although I dont wanna get killed)
It left me wondering whether everything happening there reflects how miles sees himself, someone that feels alone but dont try to change anything at all, hurthing their close one or even himself… or if thats just the effects of sleep deprivation idk.
Anyways, keep up the good work man
Let’s just hope curiosity doesn’t end up killing the cat or something else by the next update.
I would recommend adding a flashing lights warning cause some parts of this game might be able to cause a seizure.
We'll get to work on that!
enjoying the game so far but i think the yuki questrline might be bugged as kitsune never wants to talk about yuki's books
This should be fixed with the most recent update!

I just wanna wack off with a good story, not shit myself mid-stroke. Holy shit i actually got goosebumps
Looks like there's a bug transferring saves from 0.24 to 0.25.
In 0.24 the firstfight variable does not get set, so if you transfer to 0.25 after completing the relevant event, it causes a softlock for progressing Yuki's events.
Doubly confusing because the condition for Yuki's quest hint is reversed. So by having the variable set to 0, it's giving the hint for a trigger that only works when it's set to 1.
Hi, releasing a bugfix shortly, this should be fixed along with other bugs such as the new story event occurring too early
Not sure when this is supposed to trigger,but pretty sure it's not supposed to be on day 2
Lol, where is the cigarette?
Hey Everybody! If you're confused on why quests may not be showing up on previous save, go to the next day! The way the quest system work is that it resets at the beginning of each game cycle!
Just updated to 0.25, and for some reason, none of the events are reflected, either in the Quest or Story menus. I have no idea what to do to progress any of the girls' stories, or the main plot because of this.
same here, nothing in the tracker works.
Just started the game and saying its proud of me kinda makes me tear up and now im not horny i'll play later i guess
PLEASE WHEN IS THE NEXT UPDAT
It is -1 hour and 19 minutes from now :)
YO THIS GAME GOT ME TWEAKING BRUH🥹
