    Why isn’t there a “full” version of this game?
    The “free” version is missing content.

    The game is repetitive. The animations are plenty, but they are horrible. The quality of the renders are mediocre, and the characters are not pretty. The only consolation is that you can breed with some of the characters, watch them grow up, and then have sex with them when they are loli age. The thing is… wait for it… that’s only available in the full version, sooo yeah. ~smh~ 🤦🏻‍♂️ The grind and travel time is annoying, but you get used to it NEVER!

    I would say try it, if you have a lot of time to kill, but I can’t even do that. Save your time, and wait for a full version, or go play something else.

    Hope this helps someone, not waste their time.

      I’m glad I gave up on and deleted this low effort pile of crap before I found out about the shitty handling of the loli content the hard way. Thanks for doing us all a service and reporting on the shittiness of the game, pal! You’ve earned those upvotes!

    So the game is said to have 1900 images, but the free version only had 1500. I am to assume this means, that the free version has cut content ? I dont really seem to see any information about this in the games details here.

    There is some fun, crazy sex in this game and it’s cool that it includes pregnancy as an active part of the game. The plot is goofy, but that’s okay because it suits everything just fine. The grind can get repetitive and tedious, but even that’s not the problem. The problem is the lengthy conspiracy-theory lectures that you cannot avoid. Some of them are quasi-political. Others are just wild ideas. But whatever. It’s just that there are so many of them, from so many different characters, and they are part of the code plot so you have to go through them. I love story in erotic games and I don’t require realism or tight plots, but these don’t advance the story; they just bog it down and get irritating.

    Not a bad game by any stretch, especially as these go, but for me there were just too many different girls. I get that it’s a harem game and that’s kind of the point, but there’s a limit. It feels like half the game is one person introducing you to other people. Just keeping track of who’s who becomes a chore. I just stopped caring.

      A is for aging(click the portrait and you can change the age) P is for pregnant, you can change the days of pregnancy after(same method as aging)
