If there isn’t, I couldn’t tell you how I got here… and how I ended up here seems impossible. I wonder if I really died?
I need to sort myself out
From what was a calm and boring day with my nomadic tribe, I now find myself stranded after a sudden capsizing. What is it that I’m feeling? Whiplash? Certainly. But… there’s a mix of other things. Then, despite the feeling of isolation from being now away from my people; somehow I just don’t feel too afraid.
Was it the guy who rescued me? Was it that silly but aggressive guy who was making the mood feel light? Or was it that… nurse!??
I guess that’s where I should start reasoning out things. Let me think more about them….
There’s Gladiolus… the guy who rescued me.
Gladiolus: 「You did a good job on the farm. Better keep earning your keep here, I got enough problems from a lot of these jokers … Did that scare you? I’m sorry!」
Gladiolus seems like someone who is really rough around the edges. Probably the second most intimidating guy next to the chief who runs the place. Apparently he seldom spoke until shortly after you arrived. He seems to be easy to agitate, but cares a lot. Why is that, does he want something from you? Hope to stay on his good side!
Then next there’s that dor- I mean, funny fellow in the suspenders.
Rhys: 「Don’t stop be amusing for me. As long as you are amusing meat, I’ll consider keeping a lowly one such as yourself around. 」
He’s got an amusing fashion sense for sure, and a mouth that really likes to run. He apparently likes to gloat a lot about his achievements, but when called out on it he does get defensive before accepting the facts. He is a really good cook, where he brags about it extensively, so much so that he just neglects what he actually is supposed to do. He also seems to keep on repeating things he gets disciplined on. Is that intentional?
Finally, we have the Nurse with the piercing gaze.
Faust:「My, you seem to have a lot on your mind. Just a look on your face. Would you like to tell me whats on it? Or what you would like on it?」
Faust has a gentle demeanor, overall he is the easiest to talk too. Seemingly, he knows sort of how you’re feeling. Maybe it’s a wisdom that comes with age? He’s rather touchy too. He has these strange hard tendrils that protrude from him. (He could totally wrap you up in them.) Maybe he doesn’t get a lot of company? But boy, he says some things with scathing accuracy that come out of nowhere sometimes.
And I can’t even get a feel on the chief – while he is FRIENDLY overall, it’s more like in a way that’s distant and cordial. Sort of more about pleasantries? But it’s not like he actively disengages from you either. Part of it is I’m just kind of too afraid because of this odd pressure he gives. But somehow… I’m also weirdly attracted to it.
Quickly I got adjusted to things here, thinking about how well I was being treated, and how familiar everybody got so quickly. Farming was not too big a task for me, and it seemed like I could live like this for a while, and some things made it fun to be here too
Until something happened, an anomalous cave dug its way into a cliff on the beach, that spawned hostile creatures that threatened the safety and peace I was brought into.
Quickly the chief sent out a group, but they had yet to return for days. I am now tasked to team up with Gladiolus to rescue them. I’d be normally pretty scared being put into a deadly situation like that, but I feel strangely assured with Gladiolus after getting to know him.
Hopefully I can rescue the others and get to know them as well. I hope they’re as nice as the others. If anything is out there that can hear me, please let us come back safe.

Just reminded me of the invincible meme.
Farming sims are fun, and I hope this project will go far.
Чуваки, вам надо БЫ над дизайном поработать емае
small dom is hot, we need more games with a dominant lead
I really really want to play this. But in the apk version for Android, after the quiz. I can't move at all! Please fix this! I really wanna play the game!
The cursor being confined to the window is... problematic, there seems to also sometimes be some sprite issues, where the idle animations go ape mode and their pecs just fly across the screen, but I did see on one of the other comments, an exclusively "small top" game would be less than ideal, at least for someone like me. Buuuuut, since it was "+dominant", it seems like certain options just give it as a stat, so I don't think there'll be an issue there? Other than those small grievances, yeah, this looks good and promising.
Great-looking game! The character portraits in the description are awesome. Looking forward to future updates!
A few quick suggestions:
1. There are too many questions at the beginning, and I couldn't immediately tell what impact my choices would have. Maybe I need to advance the plot more? It would be great if the questions could be streamlined.
2. Some in-game sound effects are very sudden and actually startled me, haha.
3. The Chinese translation seems to be machine-translated. Some of the answers in the choices are hard to understand. It's not a big deal though, I'll just read the original text LOL.
Xerigart, you NEED to disable catching the mouse cursor ASAP on Windows builds. This is a very bad unergonomic, user-unfriendly feature!
How did anyone think involved in the development think it was a good idea!? You cannot demand of people to know how to alt-tab and manage the active focus just to work with any other apps besides this game. Windowed apps are designed to work alongside other apps on the aktive monitor! Never ever catch the mouse cursor like that!
The user can neither move the app window as Windows intended nor use any window function in the upper right corner like close or maximize. Doing so will either catch the mouse and cancel any click or it will forcefully and uncontrollably move the window downwards until the regular user cannot interact with the app in any way besides forcefully terminating the task via task manager etc. The regular user SHOULD NOT be in this situation.
This is bad UX!
Sorry for my harsh words but I'm flabbergasted on failing the basics like that. Don't play with catching mouse cursors!
Okay... Not a whole lot to go on other than a massive lore dump in V0-1 but it's not the worst. I'm just a little put off by some of the wording. I really, REALLY hope that this is not one of those games that is exclusively small top. It is a major turn off for me and I would be greatly disappointed for having my time wasted if it was exclusive like that without any warning. By no means do I want it excluded for people who like that but I also don't want to be excluded.
looks extremely fun and promising, but couldn't play due to how laggy the APK is
Im playing on phone but the controls are not working, after the quizz I cant move or do anything, Im the only one?
You gotta click around the screen some to get the tutorial controls to disappear, then the on screen controls will start responding
Regardless, I see that there's some places for improvement as the first build of your game down the line, Xerigart. I see some potential from your project, it's just need to get past it's rough start. But I'll be looking forward to your work.
Its very hot and fun.
can you add a history dialogue, since some dialog are auto moving to the next dialogue
could you put platform tags? so the itch launcher can download them and when the game updates it also updates on the launcher please i would love to read this on my steam deck (linux)
My word, I'm just baffled. Is this real, or am I dreaming? 🤯
The art is just purely unique, and damn, it's eye-catching. The moving characters give it life. Oh my word, my face is just so hot right now, like ahhgg 😳😳😳😳
This is really something I'm looking forward to. I can't wait for what the story has in store for us; it seems quite enticing.
I haven't even read the actual game/VN yet, and I'm already hooked with just the snippets of info about the characters that are definitely eye candy and the mascots of this project.
Like why make us wait 😭
But all great things comes with time.
oh hello~
These designs are just...wow
Hello, peak department? I found one.
We can date the chief? Owo
I can't wait to see What will happen in this new Game!
cant wait for this game
owo what's this?
Looks interesting I will try it out when it comes out. ^=^
This looks very interesting!
SLAAAAAAY
