Hey, tried the game out and wanted to come on here and leave my thoughts which are mixed, so let's get the not so good out of the way first:
Most of the gripes I have are about the writing, and while this is not to say the writing is entirely bad (as I will elaborate on in the good section), I think there are some things that need to be said.
-In the sections where Joseph is thinking/talking to himself while awake, he is extremely unlikeable. I get that he's not supposed to be a good guy but the way he talks about himself and about others is extremely one-dimentional, there is nothing in there to pull in the reader, no vulnerability, no remorse, no contemplation, it's just "I go out and fuck all these girls and make them my bitches because that's what I do, I'm simply superior and they are simply inferior and that's that". It feels like all he cares about is the power dynamic to put women down and make him feel good about himself, due to having the power dynamic inverted against him in his professional life. I feel like some ways to improve upon this could be both to include some more back and forth contemplation (like asking himself if he wouldn't rather settle down and form a relationship with someone or if he wouldn't prefer the girls to fight back against him for once, even if the answer is always no, the simple fact that he has the courage to ask himself those questions would do a lot for him as a character) and to delve into other areas of interest more deeply like sadism, for example, where he actually gets off on hurting the girls instead of just looking down upon the fact that they like to be hurt.
-The dialogue feels extremely blunt. Even Samara, who is supposed to be somewhat offput by how rough/blunt Joseph is, has almost equally blunt dialogue, and the stiffness between the two also ends up making the sex scenes feel awkward and clunky to a certain degree. I saw in another comment that you're based out of Poland so I can imagine that some of that can be down to English not being a first language, so it might be a good idea to pass the dialogue specifically through the hands of a native English speaker before putting it into the game to see if they can polish it and make it flow more naturally. Another thing you can do by yourself is try to deviate from always defaulting to sir/girl when they talk to eachother, the repetitiveness almost feels robotic, and even after Samara asks to be called by her name it keeps going. Throw in the odd "little lady" or "doll" here and there for Joseph and "mister" for Samara, spice it up and it will go a long way towards feeling more natural.
-The horror/stalking element of the story feels like it's advancing a little too slow, like in terms of the frequency of paranormal events it's fine but in terms of finding clues about what's actually going on and understanding it, it's slow enough that it actually feels like we know less and less about what's going on as time passes instead of more and more. I leave this as a minor complaint because I know you have more episodes planned out so I don't want to immediately assume that's how it's going to be through the whole game, I just wanted to make you aware that it might be nice to throw the reader a proverbial bone every once in a while to keep us in the loop, otherwise that "slice" of the story ends up taking a backseat compared to what's going on with Samara and exploring Joseph's backstory.
And now for the good part, since there is a lot that the game does well:
-I really like the artstyle, I feel like you have captured the vibes and aesthetic of horror very well and I also liked the how you handled Samara's design, she feels odd and cryptid enough to be offputting while also being cute enough to empathize with and, of course, attractive enough to fall for. The little details like the veins in the scene where the painting falls really do a lot to blend that line, and the poses and expressions help understand her even when the writing falls a little short. I would also like to extend my compliments to the way you handle lighting as it makes everything feel much more alive and adds a lot of character.
-The dream sequences are enthralling, and the way they open Joseph to examination is well done. This is one of the reasons I was harsh on the non-dream sequences as well, as there is so much potential here that you could have "bleed" into the overworld as well instead of just having it tightly locked behind his subconscious to the point even the mysterious entity we talk to struggles to get him to open up about it. I get that from a writing perspective you want to keep some cards close to your chest to make moments down the road more impactful but please, give us some more of this part, it really goes a long way in getting us invested into Joseph as a character and into your narrative as a whole.
-You have a pretty convincing representation of writer's block, and it helped connect with Joseph as a common struggle, so don't shy away from that tool in the future, even if he has "cracked the code" with Samara as his inspiration.
-The paranormal events are really well done on all fronts, from the visuals to the writing, the feel/vibe and the very good depiction of phenomenon like sleep paralysis, I think you really hit the nail on the head in that regard.
All in all it's a pretty decent game with a goldmine of potential, and an untapped market due to its genre. With some more dev time, more episodes, and some polish, I think (and hope) that it will grow into something great! <3
Imo, I would not recommend buying it as of yet. It lasts about 2 hours and development is extremely slow. I'd not say it's a waste of money, but the early access will definitely leave you disapointed.
With the current speed, I'd recommend you come over and look when the game is finished in 2+ years
This game is creepy, amazingly animated, engaging, and makes me need new panties every time I play it. God I can't wait for chapter 3. I've completely fallen for Samara. 🧡🙏
If I buy the game, I get the full version. Is that a subscription or just a one-time payment? And do I have to keep buying new versions or do I always have access to newer versions?
No idea why this is even a question. You own the game. You get patches, updates, etc. you don't need to purchase it a second time. Unless you want it on another store.
Hi devv if you mind can you add some another payment like using [ PAYPAL ] so i can esely to purchase it plsss dev at least you reply my coment from below so i Will know the update i hope Dev can request add some another payment :"(
After some time, I was able to finally play through the 2nd chapter and oh boy, I never felt both terrified and exited (wholesome exited lol) at the same time.
I couldn't dart my gaze off the animations and never have I've been so into a story, truly a first good experience for this kind of visual novel.
Hopefully everything goes well for both the team and the development of the visual novel!
The game is amazing, so far it's the best visual novel I've played, but not only that but it's amazing how well it immerses you in the plot, I just wish it was more interactive, but it's still the best I've played and I absolutely recommend it.
DO NOT BUY IT HERE, BUY IT ON STEAM. guys ont do the same mistake as me buying the game here on itch.io and buy it on steam ! Now i can't refund it. please guys learn from MY mistake and buy it on Steam.
In my opinion the Dialogues are terrible and the game and the interactions we have with the girl are so corny.
Why would you want to refund it? Buying games and beating them then returning them is low asf. It's cheating the content creators out of money they worked hard for. Guys don't be a schmuck.
We found a typographical error ------------------------------------------ We believe this line should be "And when you come back…" based on the context and who is speaking;
It is impossible for us to test the build on all platforms let alone Linux in general. My understanding is you just run the .sh file and it should be fine.
Absolutely love the atmosphere this game gives off. The game itself brings together two genres you don't generally think could work. Keep it up, I'm sure everyone here is excited to see where it goes moving forward. Thank you for the game
On their discord they mentioned that there was "a bug stopping the spanish chapter from loading correctly". They just said that the bug is fixed and they are just doing some last minute changes so it should be up soon.
Because Renpy is simple, and this is a visual novel. The other games all have unique elements about them, control schemes, dependencies, vram requirements, etc.

Is there any other way to pay ? I don't have a Debit card and the game is not available on steam in Germany nor on GOG
Imo, I would not recommend buying it as of yet. It lasts about 2 hours and development is extremely slow. I'd not say it's a waste of money, but the early access will definitely leave you disapointed.

Unfortunately we were banned on Paypal so we cannot use their payment gateway.
This game is creepy, amazingly animated, engaging, and makes me need new panties every time I play it. God I can't wait for chapter 3. I've completely fallen for Samara. 🧡🙏
Hello, after 2 months when will we have news of chapter 3?
but very good game , da, story, athmosthpere, originality, good luck for the futur!
It takes time to make the chapters. It is being worked on though.
2 months is a bit short for a game. Ask when it's been a year without a response. Then it's gonna get weird.
If I buy the game, I get the full version. Is that a subscription or just a one-time payment? And do I have to keep buying new versions or do I always have access to newer versions?
No idea why this is even a question. You own the game. You get patches, updates, etc. you don't need to purchase it a second time. Unless you want it on another store.
Will their be sound in the scenes?
There is some already. I assume you mean vocals? Probably. Dunno yet.
cool
I played story mode and its only showing clips
It's a visual novel. Not sure what you were expecting.
i thought animated scene...
Hi devv if you mind can you add some another payment like using [ PAYPAL ] so i can esely to purchase it plsss dev at least you reply my coment from below so i Will know the update i hope Dev can request add some another payment :"(
We are banned on Paypal so we cannot offer it as a payment solution. PayPal can be used on gog, jast, or the steam store.
Yes... A masterpiece. Played demo, wait till I got more money
Hello i just played the Demo and the Women is super thin. Is this the only or main women over the whole playtime? caus i like curve. big curves ^^
Heya devs!
After some time, I was able to finally play through the 2nd chapter and oh boy, I never felt both terrified and exited (wholesome exited lol) at the same time.
I couldn't dart my gaze off the animations and never have I've been so into a story, truly a first good experience for this kind of visual novel.
Hopefully everything goes well for both the team and the development of the visual novel!
Much care and stay warm.
This is really well-written. Excited for Chapter 3 to drop!!
Hype!
I just have this single problem with the game.
I can't go back on the texts, there's no button.
Just use the mouse wheel or the history button.
Im mobile chief
There is a button on mobile for history.
Very mature visual novel. Can't wait for more content. Check out my full preview: https://geekgasm.org/2025/02/14/wet-nightmares-pc-preview/
I honestly wish the group responsible for this game much success.
Thank you for the kind words!
The game is amazing, so far it's the best visual novel I've played, but not only that but it's amazing how well it immerses you in the plot, I just wish it was more interactive, but it's still the best I've played and I absolutely recommend it.
Any idea, when to expect the next chapter? I mean like weeks, months, summer or next year?
No rush though, I'm just curious ^^
Not gonna put anything down as it's likely gonna change
DO NOT BUY IT HERE, BUY IT ON STEAM.
guys ont do the same mistake as me buying the game here on itch.io and buy it on steam ! Now i can't refund it. please guys learn from MY mistake and buy it on Steam.
In my opinion the Dialogues are terrible and the game and the interactions we have with the girl are so corny.
I am not even sure how to take this comment.
Steam and Itch have the exact same game. Nothing will be different between the two.
se refiere al precio creo, porque en steam está mas economico.
hero, you save me money and time
Why would you want to refund it? Buying games and beating them then returning them is low asf. It's cheating the content creators out of money they worked hard for. Guys don't be a schmuck.
We found a typographical error
------------------------------------------
We believe this line should be
"And when you come back…"
based on the context and who is speaking;
Yeah you're right. It's easy to miss small things like this.
Where is the auto button on android??
I really love what you made !
I can say im kinda sad because this game is just like novel and novels will end fast usually
If it had some rpg elements like little open world or something it would be really amazing (because i knew the game will become longer)
But in general characters that you made are really nice and story is really nice too
Really wish you to be successful in this game and anything else in your life!
Thanks!
Any body else having issues running the Linux version?
I am on Linux Arch, seeing the issue below:
#!/bin/sh
PYTHON="py3"
SCRIPT="$0"
# Resolve the chain of symlinks leading to this script.
while [ -L "$SCRIPT" ] ; do
LINK=$(readlink "$SCRIPT")
case "$LINK" in

SCRIPT="$LINK"
;;
*)
SCRIPT="$(dirname "$SCRIPT")/$LINK"
;;
esac
done
# The directory containing this shell script - an absolute path.
ROOT=$(dirname "$SCRIPT")
ROOT=$(cd "$ROOT"; pwd)
# The name of this shell script without the .sh on the end.
BASEFILE=$(basename "$SCRIPT" .sh)
if [ -z "$RENPY_PLATFORM" ] ; then
RENPY_PLATFORM="$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)"
case "$RENPY_PLATFORM" in

if ! test -d "$LIB"; then
echo "Ren'Py platform files not found in:"
echo
echo "$LIB"
echo
echo "Please compile the platform files using the instructions in README.md"
echo "or point them to an existing installation using ./after_checkout.sh <path>."
echo
echo "Alternatively, please set RENPY_PLATFORM to a different platform."
exit 1
fi
if [ -e "$LIB/$BASEFILE" ] ; then
exec $RENPY_GDB "$LIB/$BASEFILE" "$@"
fi

exec $RENPY_GDB "$LIB/renpy" "$@"
fi
echo "$LIB/$BASEFILE not found."
echo "This game may not support the $RENPY_PLATFORM platform."
exit 1
It is impossible for us to test the build on all platforms let alone Linux in general. My understanding is you just run the .sh file and it should be fine.
Hey just curious will there be a time it will be free or no?
No it won't be free.
alright ty
How many H scenes rn?
Two chapters worth.
2
its 2. one is animated, one isnt
La historia es muy interesante fuera del morbo y tambien en la parte erotica no deja que desear sinceramente una joya de juego
Ah! I'm a day late! Downloading now!
I can't play cuz I'm poor
get a job fatass
By the way I'm not fat
Fear boner is real...I was too on edge and didn't expect the girl encounter after all that suspense lol!
Absolutely love the atmosphere this game gives off. The game itself brings together two genres you don't generally think could work. Keep it up, I'm sure everyone here is excited to see where it goes moving forward. Thank you for the game
Thank you!
buen capitulo, espero que el próximo tenga un poco mas de contenido lascivo
Wheres the android version ?? ???????
Releasing now.
When will 3.0 come to android?
Right now.
Android is still showing the old version
Yes, it is updating now.
Ya salieron las otras versiones la version de android saldra hoy o despues?
It will come out soon. We are still working on it.
Tip: I recomend using 7ZIP to Zip rar or Zip game to a .7z using compression level 9 (Ultra and LZMA2 compression).
It is much better than WinRar has more compression levels, and is Free and Open Source.
I'm transferring my RAR and ZIP games to 7z this way, and it's saving me disk space.
Gotta use the standard everyone has access too.
Winrar opens 7z too.
Is it going to be released today.or what been waiting. And I was looking forward to it because of work
Had a couple more things to fix. Uploading now.
Is chapter 02 still set to release today/January 15th?
On their discord they mentioned that there was "a bug stopping the spanish chapter from loading correctly". They just said that the bug is fixed and they are just doing some last minute changes so it should be up soon.
i have game on Steam if i buyed hear ??
No. If you purchase on Itch, you own the game on Itch. All stores get the game and updates at the same time.
out of curiosity how come this is your only game available on more than just windows?
And one more day till chapter 2!
Because Renpy is simple, and this is a visual novel. The other games all have unique elements about them, control schemes, dependencies, vram requirements, etc.
Oh yeah, Chapter 2 is right around the corner!
will the game have steam achievements? plssss
Not at launch. Perhaps in a future post we can add some. It is a kinetic visual novel so it's not like it will be hard to get them.
It's a kinetic visual novel? then what's up with the part above?
Just a handful of choices lead to different endings. 90% of the time you're reading with zero input
