Although a bit confusing at times (presumably because of translation issues?), I really enjoy the game so far. Some of the stuff does seem a bit outlandish and straight out of a cringy anime, but I really like the story and this set of characters. Please keep up the good work!
... Also, I'd love a Krol route. Maybe I'm too much of a masochist.
I have 2 illustrations that are still locked are these limited to patrons or did I pick the wrong options if so can I get some help? I'm really loving this game I just started 3 days ago and I already finished the latest build and this vn far exceeded my expectations.
Thank you very much. I try very hard to make my VN better day by day. All the illustrations that are in the same build can be unlocked, most likely you are missing points with some character and you haven't unlocked certain scenes.
I played through this game yesterday. all the characters I went through. Good story has been. at some point I even shouted out loud what the hell: D because things happen so much. I have to give you criticism of sorry: / I don't want to spoil but what willem happened and after it came back then how that character was even more annoying and how after that can be even more asshole like that... I supported you with a monthly fee :) hopefully the story will continue interesting and that some kind of romantic would be made between some characters. Jack my favorite and Matt. Continue with the same pattern. Merry Christmas there and New Year's Eve
Would you consider doing Emeka' s journey until he graduated? Some timeskip is okay though. I think that it will be fulfilling for both the readers and the dev (I know it is hard and takes a lot of effort) to present Emeka's journey from the start till the end. Your story is great, it's appreciated. ps: Erick is hot.
To state whether Emeka graduates would be making spoilers. That said, I do plan on doing timeskips in the future, but not overly long periods of time. It would be something like the transition between part one and part two although it could be extended to a couple of weeks.
And as for Erik... I know, right? Look at those pecs, Jeez...
Yes, sorry for accidentally orchestrating you to do spoiler. Honestly, 30 days of Emeka's journey is not enough (not him though, but the professor #WiggleWiggle). I'll look forward to tag along in this journey till the end. Again, your story is great, appreciated. Thank you.
I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. This is a story, not a dating simulator. That said, at some point some decisions will have to be made, but they may not be as you expect.
I hope you can enjoy the story for what it is, without any pretensions beyond that :3
Currently, there is one in the public build (sort of), not counting the dream at the beginning. If you want to know more, there might be a little surprise in the patreon build :3
Later on in the storyline you/Emeka and Toki go into his room (before the person i believe to be Toki's father comes in) and you get to do something with him *NSFW related*
I love love love that you have incorporated so much art history and theory. Who says a game with furry smut can't be educational!? But actually, good job on incorporating this without becoming pretentious.
If you've read the devlog, that's a preview of the next update. If you want early access to the new builds you just have to become a patreon, otherwise you just have to wait for me to publish new public content.
Has the grammar and spellchecking improved? Last time I played the VN it needed some work... Not being mean-spirited or malicious, just honestly want to know.
Now that the first part of the VN is completed, I would like to share the affection points guide that I made myself
Note: In scenes where more than one choice can add points, I only listed the choice that adds the most. I also skipped scenes where none of the choices add points
Hi there. Was wondering if future updates will have data/memory compresed. It's alright if it's not possible. I don't want to add to the weight of having a small team making this game. I'll have to buy a device with more memory sooner or later.
I'm sorry but there is nothing I can do right now. Almost everything is already reduced to an optimal format. Besides there is quite a lot of content and it will get bigger and bigger, because it is going to be a long VN, so it will take even more space in the future.
I....need more Matt content.......Good game overall though like I said I need more Matt....I choose Jack in the beginning but halfway through Matt's personality was infectious. Not so happy with what happened on their date, but the reasoning was explained and issue resolved so ill take it for now. Looking forward to more (more Matt)
If you had read the descriptions above you would have noticed, but I'll copy it here. "Decisions will award points with the characters and unlock certain extra scenes, but will not influence the plot of the story." That means they unlock certain scenes, expand some of them and give you access to some naughty things with their corresponding CGs, but the essence of the story remains the same.
my favs in order 1. Toki (this is basically my boyfriend minus being comp savy) 2. Erik (crushing on proff is hot) 3. Jack (one of my fav tropes, wont spoil hehe) surprised Montiano isnt an option tho
To begin with, when reading this VN you should bear in mind that it should not be approached with prejudices or preconceived ideas about other VNs.
This is not an idyllic story where you fall in love with someone, have problems and then solve them.
I will warn you from now on that this story, even if it doesn't seem so for now, is cruel.
This story is about Emeka's life, not any other random MC that can be renamed.
I fully understand the position that you might not like Emeka and that he can be a bit unbearable, but there are reasons for that, it's not gratuitous.
As for complaining that there are no routes, I'll give you some reasons.
Firstly, this is not a story that moulds itself to the reader, it tells the story of Emeka's life.
Emeka is in love with the five main characters for some reason.
Life isn't exactly fair and there is no perfect path to follow, we don't choose who we fall in love with. That is an important part of this story, but there is something much more complex behind it. It's not all about dating and homoerotic situations.
On the other hand, not everyone feels the need to fuck everyone at the drop of a hat. Some people just aren't like that.
Finally I would like to mention that feeling of chasing five guys at once and the fact that you hate it. The easiest way to answer that is simply to say that's how Emeka feels all the time.
I don't understand how to unlock the CG on Day 8. I tried all the choices and combinations, but nothing. May I ask a little hint? By the way, so far the game it's really good, I can't wait to see the next events.
There are currently 3 unlockable CGs in the public build.
One on day 5 (not Erik's), one on day 6 and one on day 8.
To unlock these scenes, you have to have made good decisions and have enough points with the character with whom the event takes place.
Not all points are required to unlock it, but almost. If you select the dream at the beginning of a specific character it will be easier to unlock his scenes because they are 5 extra points.
how did you turn it off, all of a sudden narrator is on, and when i press the windows key and control and enter it says narrator is already off. i can't figure out how it turned on only when in the game. and how to turn it off D:
vaya realmente me gusto esta novela visual tiene tanto potencial y da un toque de misterio que te hace preguntar que deparará el futuro de cada personaje basado en los puntos que obtengas
isn't this kinda too forcing ? im trying to really only focus on willem only currently trying my best to avoid anything romantic with Erik and Tobi (friendzone area) but it ends up making me spoiler-
kiss Erik . is there no way to avoid that? ;-; i feel like alot of the decisions (the avoiding one like leaving,trying to go by unnoticed,or trying not to flirt) do the opposite .
For some reason, Emeka is in love with the 5 main protagonists.
There are no routes. It is a linear story that tells how Emeka's life develops as you get to know more and more about the lives of the other characters.
The points and decisions don't change the story (at least, not for now), what they are used for is to unlock certain "naughty" scenes and near the end of the visual novel, depending on the points and decisions, you can be with one or another character, or maybe none at all.
Would you consider routes on the next chapters? I think, adding routes will make the VN more diverse and variative. But if no routes for future/next chapters, that would be okay, for I have already fallen to the rector, the detective, and the coyote, but the latter seems a bit playboy.
I found this VN at random and I could not be happier with my dumb luck. All the deuteragonists are very well though. The overall quality game is very good. From the story to the small details such as UI. Keep the good work.
Oh, I see. Thank you so much for the reply. I can totally understand why Emeka would be in love with those 5 hot studs though (As I would do the same haha ^-^)
Btw, if you can shed some light on this question : how many days do you plan on making in your VN ?

I can't seem to get it. it's the one
(spoilers)
after Matt kisses Sachiko
and
after the paint scene with toki
can someone give me hints?
I played through this game yesterday. all the characters I went through. Good story has been. at some point I even shouted out loud what the hell: D because things happen so much.

When it becomes Day 31, Maybe we can make the final choice main characters?
I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. This is a story, not a dating simulator. That said, at some point some decisions will have to be made, but they may not be as you expect.
I hope you can enjoy the story for what it is, without any pretensions beyond that :3
i would love to see a sex scene with toki
Currently, there is one in the public build (sort of), not counting the dream at the beginning. If you want to know more, there might be a little surprise in the patreon build :3
Oh? Which day is this in? Why don't I remember? Can't be the painting one, right?
Yep.
There is also one
(SPOILERS!)
Later on in the storyline you/Emeka and Toki go into his room (before the person i believe to be Toki's father comes in) and you get to do something with him *NSFW related*
Reply to the spoiler
And then he kicked me out. I got fricking blue balled :cries:
there is sex scene in the game ? I saw none of them O_O
Forget about it. There's none.
Only cock blocking.
The background music for the practical photography class had be dyingggggg-
I love love love that you have incorporated so much art history and theory. Who says a game with furry smut can't be educational!? But actually, good job on incorporating this without becoming pretentious.
Either I'm dumb or dumb dumb for asking this but how do you get that kiss scene with willem?
I'm sorry for bringing bad news, but... next build :3
No no its ok I don't care if I have to wait for an eternity but as long as they kiss I'll be damn happy.
So take all the time you need to make the next build
The game have sex scenes?
says nsfw so yes
what no totally not
Yes, there are "sex" scenes. If you haven't seen them it's because you haven't unlocked them because you haven't got the necessary points.
The NSFW tag is a lie.
How do i download the build 13.0?
Currently i can only download the 12.0
If you've read the devlog, that's a preview of the next update. If you want early access to the new builds you just have to become a patreon, otherwise you just have to wait for me to publish new public content.
How many nsfw scenes are there currently?
Has the grammar and spellchecking improved? Last time I played the VN it needed some work... Not being mean-spirited or malicious, just honestly want to know.
Pocket Rain Files is currently under proofreading, the change will be visible in following builds.
Now that the first part of the VN is completed, I would like to share the affection points guide that I made myself
Note: In scenes where more than one choice can add points, I only listed the choice that adds the most. I also skipped scenes where none of the choices add points
finally, now i dont have to go back to the characters tab for every choice to check if it was right
thank you
Tysm, you are a big help. If you could keep updating the document, I'd be thankful.
But which one has NSFW scenes?
I followed your guide, and it seems Erik do not have one.
I don't think there's any branches in the story yet. The choices for now are only for affection points
Hi there. Was wondering if future updates will have data/memory compresed. It's alright if it's not possible. I don't want to add to the weight of having a small team making this game. I'll have to buy a device with more memory sooner or later.

No worries. I'll surely find a way (or device) eventually.
i cant start i keep getting an error here it is

thanks
What the heck is a Lectern?
An easel. A frame for holding a canvas or a wooden board while painting.
I....need more Matt content.......Good game overall though like I said I need more Matt....I choose Jack in the beginning but halfway through Matt's personality was infectious. Not so happy with what happened on their date, but the reasoning was explained and issue resolved so ill take it for now. Looking forward to more (more Matt)
Is there a guide at all that I could look at? After playing through I'd hate to miss out on content I didn't realize was there.
ahh no willem content? T^T
Spoilers....
How do you get the remaining cg?
Also, love the vn and characters, especially Matt <3
Thanks! :3
For the remaining CG you just need to get enough points with the other characters to unlock those escenes.
why does it feel like you dont have a choice? every choice end in the same i feel like nothing changed from my decisions
If you had read the descriptions above you would have noticed, but I'll copy it here. "Decisions will award points with the characters and unlock certain extra scenes, but will not influence the plot of the story." That means they unlock certain scenes, expand some of them and give you access to some naughty things with their corresponding CGs, but the essence of the story remains the same.
my favs in order
1. Toki (this is basically my boyfriend minus being comp savy)
2. Erik (crushing on proff is hot)
3. Jack (one of my fav tropes, wont spoil hehe)
surprised Montiano isnt an option tho
Proff is totally HOT.
williem and jack (i think thats his name?) has my heart.
Willem :3
Comments are always welcome.
That said, this is not After Class.
To begin with, when reading this VN you should bear in mind that it should not be approached with prejudices or preconceived ideas about other VNs.
This is not an idyllic story where you fall in love with someone, have problems and then solve them.
I will warn you from now on that this story, even if it doesn't seem so for now, is cruel.
This story is about Emeka's life, not any other random MC that can be renamed.
I fully understand the position that you might not like Emeka and that he can be a bit unbearable, but there are reasons for that, it's not gratuitous.
As for complaining that there are no routes, I'll give you some reasons.
Firstly, this is not a story that moulds itself to the reader, it tells the story of Emeka's life.
Emeka is in love with the five main characters for some reason.
Life isn't exactly fair and there is no perfect path to follow, we don't choose who we fall in love with. That is an important part of this story, but there is something much more complex behind it. It's not all about dating and homoerotic situations.
On the other hand, not everyone feels the need to fuck everyone at the drop of a hat. Some people just aren't like that.
Finally I would like to mention that feeling of chasing five guys at once and the fact that you hate it. The easiest way to answer that is simply to say that's how Emeka feels all the time.
Love hurts.
Man, I love Erik's Path so far. It's a cruel combination of Bright Passion and Unpredictable Events...
I wish that Emeka will get to be with Erik soon enough, it melts my heart when they are together.
Good Job with the game so far, I really enjoyed it !
Can merry be a character route he's hot
I don't understand how to unlock the CG on Day 8.
I tried all the choices and combinations, but nothing.
May I ask a little hint?
By the way, so far the game it's really good, I can't wait to see the next events.
There are currently 3 unlockable CGs in the public build.
One on day 5 (not Erik's), one on day 6 and one on day 8.
To unlock these scenes, you have to have made good decisions and have enough points with the character with whom the event takes place.
Not all points are required to unlock it, but almost. If you select the dream at the beginning of a specific character it will be easier to unlock his scenes because they are 5 extra points.
And I've already said too much :3
Does the last word of the detective for real? I'm a bit confused for he is one of the main characters.
As you can imagine I can't answer that question without spoilers. ;3
Haha, okay. I will wait for the next update then. :D
Why do I get notifications for this game, like every day when there is no update?
Well, I don't know.
I just posted the patch notes for next month and an extra devlog this month for the anniversary, nothing else.
In theory you should have received a total of only 3 notifications this month.
I keep getting this
Hmph... that's weird. I'll see what I can do and thanks for reporting it.
Am I the only one who can't figure out how to turn off narration? I don't have it on on my laptop... Awesome game!
how did you turn it off, all of a sudden narrator is on, and when i press the windows key and control and enter it says narrator is already off. i can't figure out how it turned on only when in the game. and how to turn it off D:
You have to press the "V" key on your keyboard to dissable the narrator :D
Why must you break my heart like this Matt?
He was my favorite AAAAA
Só faltava colocar em português 😋😋
vaya realmente me gusto esta novela visual tiene tanto potencial y da un toque de misterio que te hace preguntar que deparará el futuro de cada personaje basado en los puntos que obtengas
isn't this kinda too forcing ?
im trying to really only focus on willem only currently
trying my best to avoid anything romantic with Erik and Tobi (friendzone area)
but it ends up making me spoiler-
kiss Erik . is there no way to avoid that? ;-; i feel like alot of the decisions (the avoiding one like leaving,trying to go by unnoticed,or trying not to flirt) do the opposite .
The story unfolds like this:
For some reason, Emeka is in love with the 5 main protagonists.
There are no routes. It is a linear story that tells how Emeka's life develops as you get to know more and more about the lives of the other characters.
The points and decisions don't change the story (at least, not for now), what they are used for is to unlock certain "naughty" scenes and near the end of the visual novel, depending on the points and decisions, you can be with one or another character, or maybe none at all.
Ohhhhhh, i see, understandable . thank you for responding and hard work you put into this game !
No problem and thank you so much!
Would you consider routes on the next chapters? I think, adding routes will make the VN more diverse and variative. But if no routes for future/next chapters, that would be okay, for I have already fallen to the rector, the detective, and the coyote, but the latter seems a bit playboy.
The structure carried by the VN is essential to the story. Sorry if it's not what you might expect from any other.
Each of the main characters is a key player for Emeka. It may not seem like they're that important yet, but the story is still scratching the surface.
So there will be no routes. Just some different scenes depending on the decisions and points you get with each character.
I found this VN at random and I could not be happier with my dumb luck. All the deuteragonists are very well though. The overall quality game is very good. From the story to the small details such as UI. Keep the good work.
Will version 4.0.0 bring Day 4 to all romance-able characters ? Or just a specific character ? I'm sorry I got quite confused.
There are no routes, no "dates" for you to choose from.
There is only one story with certain different scenes in the future depending on your choices.
Emeka for some reason is in love with the five main characters and the story unfolds with that in mind.
Depending on your choices for when the vn progresses you may end up with one or another character or maybe none at all.
Oh, I see. Thank you so much for the reply. I can totally understand why Emeka would be in love with those 5 hot studs though (As I would do the same haha ^-^)
Btw, if you can shed some light on this question : how many days do you plan on making in your VN ?
It is a long story, there will be three story arcs.
The only thing I can say for now is that the first arc will be twelve days long.
Update!!!
I LOVE this vn!
is their something wrong with files it sead 3.0.0 is out but all i see is 2,6,0
There is nothing wrong, it will be available next month.
Chapter 3 is available on patreon right now.
It says "Next Update" on the most recent development log above, 3.0.0 is only available for patreons right now.
