N/A
v0.01.2
v0.01.2 now available with some changes to past content and added a couple additional scenes. Itis reco,mended that you start a new game.
v0.01.1
The game itself went through an update to remove differences between full and mobile versions.
This means that the mobile versions are fixed and bug-free and the text is generally larger on full-sized versions of the game.
In order for this to work, longer text lines had to be split into smaller parts.
The morning of Day 2 has been added, complete with new animations of significantly higher quality from those in day 1.
The day 1 animations will be redone at a later date but the focus now will just be to push forward with new content.
Work continues on Day 2 and beyond.
Thank you all for your continued support.

Expect this update in the coming weeks.
Script and coding for Day 2 is about half-done.

Very very boring..........I got sick of all the different path choices. I didn't know if I was locking myself out of sex scenes or what? I couldn't bring myself to care about multiple MC's Didn't take long until the tedious…

The story is kinda bland and nothing special plus it doesnt help that the renders and animations are below average. This would be a decent play in 2017 The "son" MC is the typical creep, the step mom can be…

If you're familiar with 3D incest harem games, you probably think you know what you're getting into from the moment you saw "stepmom". It doesn't feel like the dev got the memo. I have a lot of minor gripes with…
