Release Log

Weekly Progress Report 3

Hello everyone,

I’m extremely frustrated right now. Patreon removed my game, saying it broke their rules. I honestly don’t know what specific rule I violated, and I’m currently working with them to get a clear explanation.

In the meantime, I’ve moved to SubscribeStar (once my account is verified) and Boosty. If you can, please support the project there. You can already access Chapter 2 on those platforms. Your support is important for the future of this game, and with your help, I’m confident I can keep improving it.

Good news: my third chapter is almost done. The script is finished, and I’m actively creating the visuals. My target is to have everything prepared by October 10th.

I’ve put a lot of effort into building the characters, especially their looks and outfits—even the ones that don’t require a lot of imagination. I can’t wait to show you what’s coming.

Thank you so much for supporting me during this difficult time. Your help keeps this project alive.

Chapter 2 of “Alex and Julia”

In the second installment of Alex and Julia, the tension between the couple keeps rising. Problems that were previously never spoken out loud spill into direct conflict, and Alex becomes increasingly suspicious and jealous.

The chapter still uses an instant-messaging style of gameplay, but now the decisions are harder and the consequences carry more weight. You’ll determine how Alex communicates with Julia—whether he believes her immediately or pushes further to uncover the truth.

You’ll also learn more about Julia’s hidden online life, meet new characters, and uncover surprising discoveries. Every move pulls you toward a major turning point: saving the marriage, embracing an open relationship, or ultimately facing a breakup.

User Comments

I usually enjoy NTR/NTS-themed visual novels, but this one felt like a total letdown. There were so many choices that it became overwhelming, and it was often unclear what you were selecting or what would happen next. It didn’t feel like my decisions mattered—it felt more like random guessing.

On top of that, the plot reused the usual clichés from other NTR games. There was no originality, no creativity—just the same familiar scenes and story beats over and over. Nothing felt new, and in the end it felt like wasted time. If you want something engaging or different, you’ll probably be happier elsewhere. There are many better games in this genre.

This also feels like the same “copy-and-paste” story from multiple other games. I’m not talking about all mobile releases—just these seven that share nearly identical storylines. Even the opening sequences match. The app and UI are the same, the AI settings are the same, and the issues are the same too (like dialogue glitches and errors). Since the storyline seems flawed throughout, I wouldn’t be surprised if the next update repeats the same problems—such as navigation errors and broken graphics.

Final Thoughts

In this text-based experience, you play as Alex, trying to save his failing marriage with Julia. You interact with Julia through text messages and phone calls, and you can browse her online activity to uncover what’s really going on.
