I suspect Undergrad Steve felt like the success of College Kings would give him a huge reservoir of good will for the release of Unscripted, but that wasn't the case. Admittedly, the situations are different because he handed the writing of CK off to another team while he worked on Unscripted and the results were so bad that he is going back and redoing a lot of the CK content that they wrote. My point is that it takes a long time to build up trust with customers and a very short time to lose it. Plus, given the lengths of time between releases for episodic AVNs, the mistakes have a long time to sit in peoples' minds. 

Thank you for taking the time to reply. 

I think I can understand your potential concern as a developer; charge a lot for the whole game up front and people talk about how steep the price is for so little content, but charge by the episode and people get upset because they feel the first price should cover the whole thing. 

As for the optional content, I did play quite a bit of it, but you're so good at the story telling that the side quests, for me at least, feel.... I don't know.... filler maybe? At least at this stage of the story, Snowdrop and Lin seem like they're there just so MC's got somebody to sex. Lin has a very Jenny feel to her.

Having bought Skyrim more times than I care to recall and also having sunk almost 150 hours in LoM Books 1 and 2, I figured I'd give this one a go and share my thoughts for those curious as to how droid's newest project is coming along. Having said that, here we go:

This is not just close to LoM, it's basically LoM in another setting. Same great graphics, same excellent writing, interesting lore,Technically, the game was flawless with no lags or glitches of any sort. People will have their own takes on the combat system but, as droid mentioned, it is optional. I played through once and didn't have a ton of adult content but that might just be due to how I played. The only negative things I can say about the game are that 1)you could be put off at the price for a couple hours of content and 2) I don't share droid's hard on for Katie. I hated her in LoM and I can't stand her here either. However, that in no way would impact my overall view of the game as that's a personal preference. 

Overall grade: 7/10. Excellent game, but, even on sale right now, the price is a bit too steep for the amount of content currently available.  If the game had been 20 hours long instead of 2, it would be a 9 or 9.5.

I can't speak for him, but I'd rather get a little negative feedback on Itch which gives me some time to work out bugs and such than get a ton of negative reviews on a much larger platform. Problems here give him a chance to release patches so the wider release is a more polished product. 

Perhaps this is a way to get feedback from players without having to worry about a ton of negative reviews to have to overcome should the game not be initially well received. Undergrad Steve had that problem on his new game, though I feel like that game deserved them.

This is a teaser, a bit like how some stores will have a little sample to get you to buy the product. The completed first book is on Steam and it's 7 chapters. I'm not a Patreon person, but I think chapters 8-11 are available on Patreon. As for when the completed 2nd book will be released my guess would be when chapter 14 is done sometime between today and the 2nd coming.  As far as a review, I really like the game. The writing and animation are both very good. I bought it on Steam and I don't regret it at all which is a lot more than I can say for some of the schlock being made in the genre.
