"After a strange dream, Crane awakens in bed next to a woman that claims to be his childhood friend and lover, though he cannot remember her clearly. When he spots a mysterious figure lurking outside the house, Crane ventures out into the woods hoping to figure out what's going on, and how he got here."

v0.2 Patch Notes
!! IMPORTANT - IF TRANSFERRING SAVES FROM v0.1: !!
Due to some reworking of items on the backend, your weapons will likely be shuffled/messed up. Interact with the lamp on the left side of Crane's house and pick "Weapon Fix" to fix these. Ignore this if you are playing normally, as it may delete or un-upgrade some weapons you have obtained.
The game will also be set to the highest difficulty setting by default. If you would like to change difficulty settings, check the Book in Crane's House.
H-Scenes/Story/Characters:
- New character sprites, busts, and some updated CGs.
- 3 New full animated H-scenes have been added.
- Several New CGs and illustrated H-scenes have been added.
- Several characters now have expanded interactable content to meet them and unlock their respective scenes.
- Nearly all existing temporary assets have been replaced with custom made ones. (Blank item icons, RPGMaker Tileset assets, etc.)
Systems:
- WASD movement has been added, you can use that or the Arrow keys to move, along with some other hotkey reassignments:
- You can now use 'E' as another 'Okay/Interact' key like Z and Enter, to better work with WASD.
- 'Page Up' and 'Page Down' and their respective functions/menus can now be accessed through the 'R' and 'F' keys respectively.
- A 'Status' menu has been added as an option on the main menu where you can view Crane's stats, such as Attack, Defense, etc.
- Several Menus have been adjusted to be easier to read and use (you can actually see more than one thing at a time,) including:
- Equipment Menu
- Skill Menu
- Shop Menu
- A Map menu has been added. After finding the map (located in the first Lampcrop area) you can open it outside of combat by pressing 'Tab.'
- A 'Peek' function has been added. Press 'Control' or 'Alt' while in the overworld and you will enter the 'Peeking' state, where pressing directional keys will move the camera in the direction you press, allowing you to scout ahead or look around. Press 'X' or 'Escape' to exit the mode.
- Added a 'Quick Menu' for basic field skills. By pressing 'F' or 'Page Down' outside of battle, you can use 'Basic First Aid' and 'Deep Breaths' without needing to enter the Skill menu. Other Field Skills acquired in the future will still need to be used from the Skill Menu by default. Exit this menu by pressing 'X' or 'Escape'
-You can now select a difficulty mode at the start of the game: (Check the menu in game for the exact details.)
- Adventure (Normal)
- Survival (Hard)
- Exploration (Easy)
Combat/Exploration:
- Enemies now drop additional items. Basic enemies occasionally drop new consumable items. Elite enemies are guaranteed to drop Poxflowers.
- Princess' Shop has been expanded with new items and adjusted prices. She now gives the Rusted Key (to open the shortcut back to Crane's House) for free after speaking with her.
- Bunyan can now upgrade Melee and Ranged Weapons by 1 stage. These upgrades come with new abilities or improved passives/skills.
- Melee weapons now alter the properties of your Basic Attack. Check the 'Passive' sub menu of the 'Skill' menu when you have a weapon equipped to see details about these.
- Some new Accessories have been added that can be found throughout the forest or purchased from Princess.
- Some new items, called 'Tools' can be found. These are key items that permanently unlock new Field Skills.
- Several new secret locations can be found across Lampcrop. Keep an eye out for secret passages as these will often always lead you to valuable items.
- 'Diaries' can be found while exploring, which include small sexual side stories featuring smaller CGs.
- 'Guard' and 'Quick-Guard' have been improved, each now being 25% more effective than before.
v0.1
Release
really love the start of the game as of 0.2. I'm hoping this one does well and doesnt get abandoned or anything. Great mysterious vibe with good animations and scenes so far. One thing it could use would be an objectives or quest menu that shows what you still can work on or need to do.
Pretty barebones so far, but this is a really solid game, and the atmosphere, pixel-art (what's completed so far anyway), and animations are on point. Definitely worth taking a look at the very least and soaking in what's already here. Looking forward to seeing this get fleshed out.
Review for v0.2 A strange dream, a strange home, a strange lover, a strange world. Crane needs to figure out what the hell is going on, and so we set off to do so. It's a very solid RPGM game even only at the second release. A cut above the usual. Gives some fear & hunger/black souls vibes, which is great in my book. The gameplay is similar in a sense that there's a big emphasis on exploration. You don't seem to level up, but rather find a variety of equipment that provide different skills to sort of cobble together a build alongside a smorgasbord of items. There are visible roaming enemies that don't respawn, which I appreciate. I played on easy mode with the infinite pistol ammo cheat just to kinda check out the content while the game is still early before fully committing to a playthrough, but it was still fun despite that. There's some hot NPCs to meet in the form of a merchant and blacksmith (plus one more I didn't find I think) as well as that horsewoman who has a pretty hot sex scene. Some neat features like an expanding map you can easily view, a peak mode to look around corners and such, bodies to search, etc. More work than average going into the game for sure. Lewd content is pretty solid as well. Nicely animated sex scenes plus some non animated ones that do come with CGs. There's a few journals to find that depict other people having sex with monster girls as well. Would rather just have the MC run into them and have scenes with them, but I digress. Also wouldn't mind more monstruous girls with all the weird enemies you encounter, but that's just me. I'd very much see me rating this 5 stars when it fills out with content. A rare lewd game I think I actually care to wait for a complete experience before playing again, because it is that promising.
