Developer Notes:

Features

This game offers a full animated experience with roughly 80 percent of the scenes being animated.
This game is a traditional VN with choices and social stats integrated, offering you a unique experience every playthrough. Certain choices can lead to special dialogue and even events!
Sex scenes are multiple cuts in 1080p/60fps and include voices and SFX for your pleasure.

Progress So Far

The current playtime of the game is just over 45 minutes, offering a glimpse into the story with more content and features coming in future updates.
The game will be told across 6 chapters, with the Prologue and half of Episode 1 currently released. Future updates will include more sexy animated scenes and CGs, deeper social link interactions, and a gallery in the next update.
Episode 1 will be public but subsequent updates will be exclusively timed by 7 days. Patrons can access the game much earlier (from up to 3 days to a week earlier).

Special Tags Notice

NTR and Incest and Loli are pretty significant tags I’ve encountered while browsing these sorts of games over the years. NTR will be included in the game. Netori will be completely avoidable, while Netorase and Netorare are still up in the air. Loli content will be added. Whether it’s related to the story is a different matter. Incest will not be included due to certain rules on Patreon, so don’t ask about it.
Although some of these tags won’t be included in the game, I would still appreciate you trying this game out and experiencing a true Persona experience told through Renpy. It’s free!

Known Bugs

The menu screen that appears during choices can’t be hidden as of now since I’m still having trouble setting up the screen properly. If you know how to help solve it please DM me!

Due to character sprites can’t be hidden when H is pressed. Since the sprites are cut off, they present an eyesore that I understand may annoy some people. If there’s anyone who can help me make sprites hideable I would greatly appreciate it. A poll will be conducted on Patreon and Discord to find solutions to these problems if I can’t find the support.

Due to the game’s immense amount of animated scenes, I recommend not rolling back too quickly, or else the game will crash.

I’m Golden Goose! This is my first time developing a game and I wanted my first to be about a game that has changed my life. Before starting this project, I was fortunate enough to have access to a strong PC and with my knowledge of software such as Adobe, I decided to do something different and make an animated VN game. I started this a month ago and have logged in 150 hours in development time as I learned the ropes of Renpy and Koikatsu in general. I hope to push out full-episode releases every 30-45 days with half-episode releases around 15-20 days. Although development takes a while, I’m determined to showcase all facets of what a Visual Novel can offer, whether it’s the music to the UI or the story itself.
If possible, I’d like for the players who’ve finished the game to post their social stats screen so I can determine how much of a certain stat point is needed for the next update’s interactions and scenes.
If you want to support the development of the game and gain exclusive voting power on characters and scenes, as well as access to animations and early game access, consider backing me on Patreon. Your support will not only motivate me to continue this project but will also help fund essential aspects like video conversion, storage, and future projects. Thank you for your support!
