A tech demo that offers a glimpse into a larger project centred around the concept of free use fantasy where reality blurs with gaming mechanics, and NPCs come to life in unexpected ways. As the player, you find yourself immersed in a universe where other characters behave like typical NPCs, responding only when game mechanics are triggered. However, as the player you can transcend these limitations and interact with the world in ways beyond mere gameplay.​

[v.0.45] Cool idea, realization so so Pretty art, ok animations but repeated actions with almost same profit create awful gameplay that kills all good in this game. It's ok with one-two girls for one time but for many times to spawn that redhead bitch nah kill me pls. There is not any tutorial, so you don't know how to act and what to buy first. You can quickly realize how to undress your first girl but i don't understand what the talent books are for there. I've bought ~10 books but had the same failure hance and stats were the same. And nothing more there to watch. W.I.P everywhere, stats aren't working, only three girls, one of them is not in glossary cause it's not npc. It's tech demo for larger project, but last update of their epic game was in the start of 2025, this tech demo was made in 2 years and include very little content with few boring game mechanics. Wish him/them luck but looks DOA.

[0.40] Mechanics and concept are interesting and have potential. Art is good. I'm not sure if it's interesting enough to be turned into a full game, but it's definitely interesting and fun for a tech demo. If the dev does design a game using these mechanics I would check it out. Besides free use, the mechanic would work well for time stop. I recommend checking it out if you like free use and are curious. You'll be able to explore most of it within an hour.

[v0.40] Terrible. You keep on grinding for a chance that the redhead bitch return to make any progress. Then you are in a tedious inventory management turn based fight only to end up back grinding with the shopkeep. Also art is still fucked with having weird hands and a blotch on a nipple. Tedious inventory management, Grindy story progress, Loads of W.I.P signs.

[v0.40] Cool concept (NPCs' inability to respond to unscripted events makes them natural free-use subjects) and a very simple game loop; at the moment it's mainly a sex scene simulator with some very light game mechanics around it. Using a pickpocket skill to strip girls is a fun idea, and with attractive (AI) cartoon art and good animations, the various sex positions are pretty hot.

Short but sweet with a lot of attention to detail. My favourite touch was when you can use the knife to cut her hair, but I didn't quite want her hair short, so I fast forwarded a day hoping it'd start growing back... and it did.

This game have potential, but as of right now with the lack of available content (only having 2 NPC to interact with), including some minor bugs I won't give it a 5 star right away. Will reevaluate my rating once the game receive more development. If you interact with the NPC then open up the shop at the same time it causes a visual bug, but doesn't affect the gameplay at all and can fixed if you interact with NPC again. I don't mind the usage of AI art, it doesn't ruin the immersion of the game and fits the setting of the game. I understand that some people don't have all the necessary skills to create a game. It just those people who claimed themselves as artist using ai art, undermining/belittling real artists, is the type I despise. Ignoring that tangent, this is one of the game that I will keep my eye until it finish development.

I thoroughly enjoy this little game. I just wish the dev-time was a bit quicker. Is the art AI? Yes. But if it's done well then who cares? Would you rather it be the same Daz or HS1/2/koikatsu models we've all seen a bajillion times? Not everyone has drawing skills or can afford to hire those that do.

The characters are super cute, I love the freeuse, and there are a lot of fun interactions. Gameplay loop is pretty simple for now, but easy enough to find everything. Excited to see where this game goes with more updates!

0.34 npc tales the shopkeeper while gameplay is fun and looks promising. Progression is confusing and hard to trigger. There's no actuall story yet and updates don't develop much. Tho developer is active and works on parael project. tl;dr it's short and slowly but developing

Only one or two scenes, dialogue is ai, art is ai, gameplay is nonexistent. At the current state of the game there is literally nothing to do, I'm not sure how this game has 28 votes for being 0.3 version with no real gameplay

I love the concept of this tech demo it’s a really fresh and exciting take on the free use fantasy where reality and gameplay mechanics blur. The idea of transcending the usual limitations of NPCs is fascinating, and if the developer expands on this, it has huge potential. However, the art style could use some improvement, and adding more detail to the scenes would definitely enhance the experience. With some polish, this concept could evolve into something truly amazing.

[v0.30] Nice unique game about groping and free-use. I'd say its a rare genre, where game mechanics are actually tied to sex in a sandbox where all your moves are important. Its not a puzzle and easy to understand, while also fun to play. Content right now is limited mostly to your main plaything - the shopkeeper girl, which you can grope, undress and have sex with. There is also an optional encounter with city guard. It needs some preparations and planning to have fun with her. The UI is simple and intuitive. There are some unexpected options to use items on the girl. I think the shop needs more items for some intimate fun. But its already a game mechanic and I think more items will be added later. Definitely needs more content, but I really enjoy what it already has. And since its advertised as tech demo - the main focus was on implementing gameplay, which is great. I wish all the good luck to Developer and will keep an eye on new updates.

honestly surprised at how fun the game is i was expecting something less interactive but was pleasantly surprised by the free use content and can clearly see the love that went into making the game we need more games like this
pvtbrowsing 2024-09-26
Really great to see a game with actual gameplay that ties into the sex. The art is cute, and apparently not fully AI, despite the tag. Things are obviously very early, so not a lot to say yet, but very promising so far.

Cute models, but the animations needs a bit of work. People demands animated scenes, but it's hard with AI. The story and narrativa is not that great. The mechanics are well made. A very simple and beautiful game. 4 starts.
Pheonix92 2024-09-25
Great product : -Models are very nice, especially the main one - shopkeeper. -Tons of interactions with the NPCs -Facial expressions change -You can undress them and even cut their hair which grows back later. Good attention to details which shows the devs dedication. For a v0.25 this is great work. 10/10 would buy later down the line.

Pretty awesome.. keep it up.. A little buggy and not that much content yet. But what there is really good. In time this could be a great game. But atm.. it's basically just a tech demo. But it's still worth trying.. =)
ThrowaWolf 2024-08-31
Once there is more to do I will revisit and possibly update to 5. Love the groping mechanic but not much to do or much reward at the moment with this. Another thing that you should think about adding is stats and more items whether they be combat based or usable on the npc's out of combat. and possibly the ability to talk to the guard out of combat.
hieuluc5 2024-08-13
Why it's 5 stars, it made by A.I bs that nobody want, it's so simple, just some strip, molest and ... that's it. But to me, it's how A.I games should focus. Because the A.I pose is unstable and limited with idea of kinetic visual novel, Point and click is the solution. It's good, at least till now.

Review for version: 0.20 Fix (android) Originality - 90% Renders - 80% Playability - 60% Performance - 70% Bugs free - 50% Animations - 70% Amount of content - 30% Total - 65% I'll definitely watch closely this game. It has potential. So far it doesn't have much content though. Occasional bugs that sometimes ended up in a dead game which forced me to save a lot. Hopefully dev will add some visualisation where to click to trigger desired action. (for example click on pussy sometimes trigger vaginal and sometimes fingering). Same goes for battle -> it took me some time before I realized I can steal items / break them and also have combat sex. Interactions similar to 'The Shopkeeper' with other characters would be also cool.
