It’s been a year and a month since I stopped playing DF-1.21.1ce and I’d like to explain why for those considering playing this. I made a certain decision at a certain point of the game that I was curious about. Not expecting the worst, the game hit me pretty hard. I felt awful. I did not like what I did. And I haven’t launched the exe since last June.
In hindsight, I love this. I love that a writer got to me. That they made me feel more empathy for the characters than I already normally do. That they somehow handled the topic and scene well enough for me to regret my actions. And no, I will not reload a previous save. One day I will launch DF again and accept the consequences of my actions. Even from her.
For a spoiler-ish elevator pitch, see ToomanyIDs’ comment.
All of that being said, the writing has some typical bs that I’ve seen quite often in adult visual novels: [redacted per Community Rule #2]. I don’t expect light-skinned males to notice any of this, but everybody else probably will. Keep that in mind before deciding to dive into this experience. Without those three issues, that I’ve only noticed 4-5 cases of so far (e.g.: Isaac, mom, and sister), the only other issue I’ve had might’ve been the grammar but it’s been too long to be sure. 🤷🏿♂️
Seems like I deleeted my old comment, but what data would I need to buy? I think this was supposed to be free at some point too? I'm trying to remember right now.
Dev, I ask one thing. Please get the father to fix his relationship with his wife. A son taking a father's wife is completely messed up and I favoured for the father but nothing changed the end. It was quite disappointing.

It's confusing what you should download, but I tried new 1.10 or something now.

And what exactly was gained by rebranding "family", "dad" and "mum" as "friends", "pal" and "bud"?
Their relationship dynamic wasn't changed and becomes immediately evident in the prologue, so presumably it wasn't intended as false advertising.
And it's not like itch seems to have any problem with hosting tons of incest already, so presumably it also wasn't to avoid the game being banned.
But so then why bother with superficial rebranding at all?
Classic
