We finally got approved on Steam! Release date "February 19."

I hope everyone is having a nice week! After a long struggle, we finally managed to get the game approved, which will allow us to release the game finally. I'm so happy to wake up with this news!

We are going to be releasing the game on Steam by February 19. It took many months to get approved, but we finally achieved it!

For a moment, I really feared the game was not going to be approved, as it was flagged at the beginning by many things that did not make sense to me by the first reviewer. But after several months of struggling, they tried the game further again with other reviewers, all the misunderstandings were cleared, and I got the green flag.

For the people who do not know, after they removed early access during 2025 for adult games after a controversy with VISA, the requirements for releasing games became much more strict. And everyone who has played this game knows the game does not feature anything dark during the adult scenes.

Some backstory of this jorney:

For the people who don't know, I started on this project 4 years ago. I worked very hard on the girls and their textures, painting details on them by hand to create a unique quality. All this was before Patreon. Also, the people who followed this game at that time on Discord know that my PC suffered heavy damage after some power outages that were common here, and as a result, I lost all the textures after my main SSD died.

I was about to give up at the time as I would have to create everything all over again, but I decided to continue and I recreated all the textures again, focusing on the story I wanted to deliver and after all that they ended up much better than before.

Later, after releasing the beta and opening Patreon, with your support, we were able to afford music, monthly software, and better assets. We also saved up to pay proofreaders.

Now that we have finished the season, I'm so glad that many people enjoyed the story, especially the end of the season. I heard a lot of feedback from people telling me how much they enjoyed the game, the final arc, and the fight. I'm glad this story made a difference.

Special Thanks:

Thanks so much to all the people who have been here all this time, especially those who have been here from the beginning. We were very few during this time, but thanks to you, we were able to reach this point, which might help us work more on this project and continue the story. Also, any support might help us have more time for this project and buy better assets, music, and textures.

Thanks so much for everything!
