I have to say this game is for adults. We'll try to make a lot of storylines - i.e. you would pass and complete the game as kind and good boy ^_^. But in any case, there will be a variety of erotic actions with Belle (and not only Belle) in our game. The essence of LS is that you can influence on Belle and modify her as you wish. Uncomplaining slave girl wearing a collar and chains, Wicked Queen with a whip, a housewife in apron over her naked body, etc... In general there will be many opportunities and it will be very different.

v0.97.5.5
Added:
Quest log:
— Now updated quests are moved to the beginning of the Quest log;
— Added the new quest category "maximum in the current version is achieved", to make it easier to navigate in the Quest log;
— You can see the stages of completion of already completed quests;
— Added a 'completion/maximum in the current version' indicator for many quests from the previous versions (20+ quests) (should work with old saves as well);
— Added the "Back" button, leading to the root of the quests list from the log of a particular quest.
Balance:
— The guards will calm down a bit with their night raids. The interval between roundups has been increased from 3-7 days to 7-10, the first roundup will occur two weeks after the start of the game, instead of three days, as before. Also, the maximum fine for resisting guards has been reduced from 300 coins to 200.
Fixed:
— A bug that sometimes causes crashes in Betsy's masturbation control events. The whole system is now more stable.
— 'les' bug during Betsy and Emma's event in the stocks (also made changes to avoid similar errors in the future).
— Scylla no longer takes off her mask at inappropriate moments.
— Some (minor) episodes did not activate on the Lake.
— Betsy no longer gives silver plates in the middle of a conversation, only after receiving the task.
— Wrong layers order in the scene with Emma and Belle in the garden with the Tentacle Tree.
— Misprints, mistakes in texts and localization in English.
The next (content) version LS 0.97.5.6 is planned to be released in February 2023. Gaston's return to the town is coming! ^__^ It will be quite soon, so stay in touch, guys.
Thanks a lot for your support! And we are back to work on the next content version.

v0.97.5.2
N/A
v0.97.33
Fixes:
- Bug KeyError: u'\u0434\u0435\u0442\u043a\u0430' while talking to Betsy about how to make up with a girl. Corrected.
- Fixed a bug in the events with the stocks, Emma and Betsy, which led to the game looping.
- A number of small fixed (mostly related to 'Emma in the stocks' quest).
v0.97.31
- Important! The bug related to f_music_place() and, accordingly, loading locations under certain conditions is fixed.
- Important! It was not the best decision to close access to the Hunters Guild at night
. Now access to the telescope at night is open again. By the way, in the next version (LS 0.97.5) the Hunters Guild will be added as a separate location, hence, now this is a temporary solution. Patch LS 0.97.31
- The "Fear of the Charmed Ones" potion was not consumed while using in battle, and after the first use, the skill continued to be displayed in battles where the Beast's helpers were already absent. Corrected.
v0.97.3
Game mechanics:
New mechanics of punishing Gaston in the stocks on the Main Square, as well as a corresponding system of fines with control of payment and activation of new events.
Changes:
The Hunters Guild and the Hunting Shop are now closed at night.
Now the evening sound theme of locations coincides with the night one.
Fixes:
Some graphical bugs of storylines in the reading room and with the Tentacle tree are fixed.
A number of various minor corrections and fixes.
v0.97.2
Game mechanics:
New mechanics for night events. This mechanic will evolve in the future.
The system of passwords for patrons has been reworked (content opened with current passwords will not be closed after updating passwords for new versions).
New mechanic - sexual activity counter. So far, it applies only to Belle's masturbation and sex with her. Affects some specific parameters. The mechanics will evolve.
Fixes:
Now if you "to leave a trail" in Belle's bedroom at night, the window will not become inaccessible. On the contrary, it leads to a chain of new events.
The meeting with Lumiere is no longer tied to Emma's storyline. It is activated one week after the start of the game (during a regular visit to the Laboratory).
Simple lockpicks can now be purchased from the Thief.
Sometimes the light from the basement of Belle's house was displayed during the days when Maurice was not working there. Fixed.
Fixed a bug in overlaying layers for some backgrounds.
Added shading for dialogs and sprites for evening and night.
A number of improvements that should improve the performance of the game.
Now the wonderful silver tureen, if Gaston decided to keep it, should be displayed on the shelf.
Reworked the time skip menu.
Fixed a bug with escape from the location when the Beast caught Belle (the option for the first attempt to retreat was displayed all the time)
In some scenes, during pauses, clicking on the interface elements could break the script logic. Fixed.
Many fixes and improvements for events and mechanics from previous versions of the game.
v0.95.54
The interface of buy/sell menu is improved: graphic buttons and a slider for quick setting the required amount of items are added.
Improved loading of locations (they load faster, in addition, the problem with loading different layers at different times is partially fixed, which allows the objects appear synchronously)
Fixed:
Bug: Couldn't find file 'img/chars/emma/new/stocks/EMM_displeased.png'
Bug when trying to enter the FAQ section in the start menu
Removed the ability to sell endlessly a silver arrow for 10 coins and redeem it back for 0.
v0.95.5
Fixed crash with qt_095_belle_education and the issue with trophies from hunting when loading old saves.
v0.95
contains tentacle quest + sidequest with thief. seperate from full game. will be combined with full game with part 2 in april
v0.94
Now in 'The Library Story' we have the following situation: there are two parallel versions of the game. The first one - the continuation of 0.93b, with a number of changes in mechanics, but at the moment it's almost unplayable because of a bunch of bugs, unfinished mechanics and not fully coordinated quests from the previous content. And the second - is current version 0.94, which we prepared separately to show you new content. In this version (0.94), we added a new full quest for $5+ patrons (be sure to follow the link, guys, it says how to activate this quest), and unlocked the previous $5+ quest for the rest patrons. Also in this version, the Gallery of original outfits has been updated and several new books have been added to the shelf of Gaston's library (according to the wishes of some patrons).
As you remember, we took three additional days, hoping to finalize the interactive episode (for Gaston's Training Quest) ... But despite this extra time, we still couldn't finish this storyline on time. Too many bugs and inconsistencies with Gaston's Training quest as a whole
. That's why, this version turned out small (less than we planned) and with new content only for patrons. However, it's supposed to work with old saves from 0.93b.
As we've already mentioned, after releasing of LS 0.94, we planned to concentrate all our energies on preparing of the big version LS 0.95. But considering that we have not released the promised educational interactive now, we'll prepare the addition of version 0.94 by the end of January (in version 0.94b). This version will also work with old 0.93b saves, so you'll be able easily try the new content. After that, we can start the preparation of version 0.95.
v0.93
In this version you'll see the continuation and the "real" ending of Gaston's training quest, the big development of the Lake location (now Belle will regularly visit it and different things will happen there)."
==============================ENG:
Belle has difficulties with paying for books. The event is activated in the library. New opportunities open at 100, 200 corrupting, and after completing the quest for Bed Skills Level 2 and collecting of at least 3 arguments for persuading Belle. Arguments can be obtained by going through the following quests: tentacle tree, magic bra, activated exhibitionism (for patrons), masturbation Belle, storyline with Ariel. The final scenes of this quest is affected by the Bed Skills parameter (200-250 and more than 250).
Belle spends time on the lake. Wait for rumors about it a week from the beginning of the game. Be sure to activate patron's password, because a significant part of the variants of events is tied to exhibitionism. Events are affected by corruption parameter (<200 and 200+). Some options are opened after activation of the previous ones. Be sure to wait for the second swim of naked Belle!
Ariel again waits for help. Just complete her initial quest (rumors about the mermaid appear after 15 days) and wait a week until she is ready to accept help.
v0.92
1) the continuation of the story about Belle and tentacle tree (pay attention to the new location on the map - Belle's Garden),
2) the sequel of Emma's storyline,
3) the additional option of Betsy training,
4) dog training, alchemy mode and a number of improvements, corrections, and other like things.
v0.9b
In the quest "Bed skills 2" was added the possibility to sell magic textbook in a more obvious way.
Fixed:
An error in the event with tentacle-tree sprout
'Exception: Sayer 'LB_pff2_shame_sp' is not defined'.
Not an obvious work of schedule meeting with Betsy
Belle did not increase her magic parameter
v0.8-0.82
Time limit was increased to 100 days (of course for our best-in-the-world patrons there is available timeless game mode - use starting bonus for patrons, which opens after special patrons code)
- (Testing option) Added option of replacement textbox background for those players who had issues with display of backgrounds in the original game version (on some integrated videocards). See "textbox background" -.> "Graphics bug fix" in Preferences. This testing option had been added just for dialog textbox. If everything would work properly, we'll implement this option with another interfaces.
- More than 30 different fixes, corrections and adjustments...
This should be logged as abandoned NOW.....F95 do you job. No 'new' work added for nearly a year and so called developers don't engage on any level but are still seeking funds from players....time to call it quits.
As most other folks have pointed out, this game had been "in development" since Obama was in office. It was a cute & fun game then, but now their development schedule has grown increasingly lacking. The promised update has been promised since February of 2024, and now it is November. They've used excuses like "one of the two developers was sick" twice. Once in July and once in October. The most recent update made it so every save game would crash and it even took away content from people. The developers are scammers at this point. Do not support either developer, and do not get your hopes up for a working product.
Developers so slow that you could consider it a scam. Updates comes by about once per year and it's by no mean significant. Haven't seen anything close to this ever in my entire life. The game itself is somewhat grindy and slow but the art and scenes are nice but nothing more than that.
All you need to know about the game is that it has been in development for over 8 years. Approximately 4 of which are version 0.9+. At the same time, the game still has 0 sex scenes and a lot of pointless grind for no reason.
I decided to write a review on this game, which I played for a long time and followed all the updates until a certain point. I was even a patron of this project for a period, but canceled the subscription because I realized that the developers simply decided not to finish the game, but to maximize their profits. The game initially looked very promising, with attractive art, decent gameplay, and a good story. However, over the years, the developers put in less and less effort, resulting in very slow development. Updates only included a few new scenes, quests, and events. The version updates became so insignificant that it seemed like the developers were just trying to collect as much money as possible without finishing the game. Despite understanding the developers' challenges through last couple of years, it's been a long time since the game's development started, and it's disappointing to see such slow progress. I would rate the game 3/5, but the lack of effort from the developers is a major reason why I'm discouraged from continuing to follow it.
I really like this game. Great storyline, nice graphics. Very original, there are only a few games like this. The downsides are the long updates and it can be a quite grindy game. Take your time with this game make it more fun.
Every blue moon I remember this game exists and check how its going The answer is always the same: exactly as 10 years ago Should add some kind of "vintage" or "game of the decade" at this point, would certainly help with the main purpose here: milking patreons Back then when this project was young and showed promise, art ui story scenes... Everything was fine and kind of unique, but since then literally hundreds of other similar (and sometimes better in every sense), projects have been created AND finished Today this only serves as a time-capsule of simpler times, which is already showing its age even when far from being completed and labeled as "new game" Shouldve started with a book, not a library
I enjoy this game, its fun, hilarious, and the artstyle stays true to the base artstyle, and I respect that. I hope the creators keep making games like this. People really do underestimate how hard it is to make a game like this and still have it be as good as it is.
Developers absolutely untrustable, and deadlines are never respected. The respect for the patrons is almost zero. Each time they promise many contents and in the last two years have published a couple of small updates, postponing each time the real contents update to no one knows when.
Summary: It is a game that has been out for a long time and it is a game i want to give a higher rating, but from what i have seen over time this is the best rating i feel it deserves. Pro: it is funny an does not take it self seriously with a interesting take on this genre. The game has a semi interesting combat mechanic that i feel is good and put together. Con: the game has game has been out for a while and update are far an inbetween an feel as tho there is no meat to the updates. I can play after a update and have no idea what is added as it can be so small that you miss it. It is a shame that most updates are like this with being small details that they are missed.
I really liked the game. Great text, good storyline, nice graphics. In general, in terms of thoughtfulness and originality, there are only a few games of this kind. The downside is long updates, but many games on patreon are now sinning with this.
It is an idle game that wastes players' time and annoys them. I don't want to see another crappy game that will milk Disney this much. We don't know what to do in the game and how to access your rape shit content. These jerk developers should be a good guide. I'm not giving this crappy game 1 star because of its visual art
This game develops more than 6 years. For this time I found a girl, bought a flat in the capital city in one of the European countries. Besides my main job, prepared an open-source tool for developers that already is in the release version I think for two years. And this game is not finished yet... About game. - Really poor animation and ero scenes. - Maybe fun but not really the story - Poor quests - Boring game - not user-friendly interface - to do some action you need to click a few times (but really it can be only one)
This cashgrab was at version 0.9 in 2016. 6 year later thousands of games in videogame industry (even those made by one person) got their full release since and this one is still unfinished piece of crap with art style not changing( in terms of becoming better) a bit or any meaningful progress at all.
OK I finally finished the game -- or at least, finished up to the point where there's nothing left to do until they finally update it. I like the artwork and the humor for the most part. I wish there were more games with Disney-like characters and artwork. But my god, the grind. You have to repeat certain things dozens of times before you get anything new. And there's nothing to tell you that's what you have to do. At many times, I just assumed I had reached the end of content for that particular thing, not realizing there would be more. I had to ask lots of questions in the discussion area as to what to do next, because it's not intuitive at all. You should be able to ask Binker "What should I do next?" or something for some of these quests. I wanted so much to like this, as my favorite games are the cartoony ones. But then I got near the end and when there's finally actual real sex scenes, they're rape scenes. You watch while the girls are raped by the Beast, and then by the tentacle tree, and then you get to rape Belle finally. There should be a "rape" tag so I would have known to avoid this. I like sex games where you help the girl realize her own inner slut and she comes to love what she is doing. It's another thing to rape her into it. That's not my fantasy which is why I avoid games with the "rape" tag. Anyway, I tried, I really did. I tried to like this so many times. But that's enough.
I played this game years ago and the concept intrigued me... now playing it again, they've added a lot... but boy is it grindy. A lot of the quests seem kind of stupid, like the one for getting telescope/guild access... I had to kill 4 grizzlies twice in a row when they almost never appear in combat. I'm 50+ days in and haven't finished more than 3 of those quests when it seems to take like 6+. Then, there's a lovely bug where when you enter an area and get attacked, if you click on an item in the background, through the combat screen, it picks up the item... and then freezes the combat system forever, so you have to reload. And some of the fights don't make sense; bandit camp - impossible fight, the only hint is "figure out a way to trick them", like okay, that really gives me a lot to work with! Same for beating the Beast when he goes after Emma - seems impossible to win. Tentacle plant also seems impossible with no hints how to get past it. I shouldn't have to read a walkthrough to figure this out either. Factor in that I'm already maxed out hunting skill, have armor and the best weapon, and these are still undoable. Then, so many quests and alternate characters open up, but nothing ever really finishes. Devs need to work on finishing Belle (and questlines in general) before they start adding in random shit all over the place that is half-done. It's like a cockblock when you get 5 steps into a quest and the next part just says (for the Nth time) "more in 9.8.5.5" or whatever version it is. I shouldn't just poo-hoo the game, because there is some things about it that are great. The art style is charming and appealing (though not especially erotic), as akabur games tend to be. The underlying plot is actually some great writing; the entire concept of the book keeper corrupting Belle is nice. There is a good amount of humor, and a good variety of stuff. The problem is really all the filler crap; it feels like that classic patreon game where the dev pushed in-game progress to a standstill in order to disguise how little content is really there. Like go kill (literally) 100+ animals to make one iota of progress in one out of fifteen quests you have open. I've played less grindy MMO's.
I have better chances finding Belle in the real world and doing whatever I want to her than doing it in this game. It will also take less time to do so. Doesnt help that 5 years later after release the game is far to be at "v0.96.5" as it is at the time of this review. It is just a number close to v1.0 to give you a feeling that is about to be finished, while the main point of the game, making Belle yours, is far from being close. They recently added some actual lewd content with Belle, which helped a lot. But again, far too late. The main point of this game, if you look at the description, is to corrupt Belle and be able to do with her as you please. That includes a lot of things, including wardrobe personality etc... None is present in the version who is 0.03.5 from being completed, and considering the pace they are adding content, you will probly have 1-2 scenes added that justifies that, like a good Kickstarter scam. Do not bother.
tl;dr Less than the sum of its parts The writing is really great. Usually in these games you get either a lot of scenes of bad quality or a few scenes of good quality, but there are a lot of scenes of good quality in here. It's a lot of fun to read. The art is simple, but solid. It's not really going to blow your socks off but it's consistent, thematic, drawn well enough very little jumps out at me for looking 'wrong', and there's a fair amount of variant details. Animations also aren't amazing but not wonky either. There's a lot of interesting game elements in the code as well. Corruption stats, inventory, combat, a rudimentary economy and such. Unfortunately the big problem with this game is not the writing or the art or the code, it's the design, which is at best a classic "there's no planning here, we're just adding shit as we go along" non-design that results in a grindy, unintuitive mess of circuitous quest triggers that is not much fun at all to plod through. To make the obvious soundtrack joke, No one clicks a zillion times to try and do shit like Gaston , at least in this game. It's a shame, because when it's good it's pretty damn good. But good luck actually getting to the good parts if you don't want to decompile the thing and write your own anti-grind QoL mods for it.
I have been playing and supporting this game from almost the very beginning and have always really liked it and the idea around it. To corrupt Belle slowly and steady to make her your own little sex-slave(sex-princess),nothing is really better then that!! It's very clear that there is a very talented coder behind the game, namely Xaljio who is also know for coding Akabur's game. This clearly shows with all the mechanics and details you have in the game - Everything from advanced fighting to well though out quest-lines. The art fits perfect in line with a disney game and Latissa does a really well job here to make the lewd content come to life with both still art & also animated scenes. Latissa also does the story/dialogues for the game and its clear its not the first time she writes a good fantasy story.(A few things do get lost when translated from Russian to English imo) Pros: - Lots of funny moments and humor mixed into the game. - Rich on story and dialogues. - Some great animated scenes. - Great art style. - Coding is really well done. Cons: - A lot of grammatical errors in the English dialogues. - Need some more lewd content in general. - Patches come out a bit to slowly. - Could use a guide for new players This review is a bit biased since I do work with the team to improve it so take it with a grain of salt & and try it out yourself.
The art style leaves a bit to be desired, but the gameplay and situations are really fun. I really enjoyed the sleeping scenes and skirt lift scenes. If you're into voyeurism/exhibitionism this game will be wonderful.
