Might be a bug, I'm not sure. But I chose Blake to go in with me to the sewers, and he gets stuck on the screen when you the next morning chose to call anyone but blake. He sticks there with anyone else you try and call, and overlaps the eventual scenes to come.
Probably the same bug that I've been told in another post. I will check it and I'll upload a patch as soon as possible. I will need to check the different options as during the testing phase I did not have that problem.
1) I have a version of your game file I downloaded on 06/14/23 that is 131 MB in size and another I download on 06/28/23 that is 132 MB in size (which is the one that appears above as version 7).
Are these two zip files the *same* version, but the 1 MB larger the one with the patch for v.7?
2) For future reference! With the release of new versions of your game, will each release have the *complete* game -- or do you have to merge the newer files into the older game files that you already have?
I've found it varies from game to game here on itch.io. Some creators always give you the *complete* game in their new releases — while others require you to merger the newer game files with ones from earlier versions.
I just want to be sure I get it correct with "Leather & Madness" — I don't want to ruin things for myself!
I will release always the full game, even if they are patches as it's easier for me to do automatic builds (they took me a lot of time).
The change between the two versions was a patch to correct some bugs I detected. That's why there isn't many differences between the version.
In a few hours, as promised, I'm going to release the big update with the Day 3 and you'll see a big difference in the game size ;) I'm just compiling the game in all its versions and checking that everything works. So, geat ready for a big big patch with high replayability.
The first iteration of the game, until I finish the main story will be as full versatile and trying different roles on BDSM relationships. Once I finish it I will think on adding those kind of options and probably I will add extra scenes based on an initial prompt as you suggest or giving the possibility at every moment as the Wolf / Hunter scene.
That scene has been an experiment to check how could I develop this in the future. Anyways I think I've added scenes for all tastes :) We have a monster power bottom even :)
I think the first goal should be finishing the game before adding extra things.
In any case thank you very much for your comment :)
And another suggestion related to content you have already. There's another Wolf / Hunter like scene. You should try to find the way to go to the L&M Club at night during the second day. Someone will offer you many options there.
Hi so the games really fun so far and I enjoy it but I keep exprencing a glitch where when I'm at the club and don't pick the option to stay with blake the story will contiue but blake will stay on the screening doing nothing. Its not a game breaking glich just really annoying
Hi this is my first time playing your game and I think I will love this game the only thing I am curious about is that Cthulhu and what's his role in this game? And cant wait for what you planned in future updates of the game will follow you so that I can be updated on the news about your game
Well, if you know Cthulhu enough, you can imagine that if it appeared, it could mean the destruction of everything. So, do not expect it until the game is close to its ending (if it appears, I don't want to do spoilers).
On the other hand, I don't know if you have been able to meet the "Goat man". That's another reference to one of my favorite elder gods.
Right now you should have seen a Deep One. So probably other minor creatures could appear.
In any case, if Cthulhu appeared, I would imagine something like....
Hi! No, I don't have a Patreon and the game will be always free. I'm doing this as a hobby and I'm enjoying it a lot. I though on enabling donation but finally I didn't enable it because I thought it could give me more headaches than benefits. So .....
Right now my best reward are the comments that you can leave about the game that can help me improving it or making me know that you are enjoying the game.
Great start~! n__n/ There's a lot of promise here, and as much as I love exploring each dialogue choice, I personally find there to be far too many "^^_ I only did 1ne playthrough, so maybe the choices don't change everything as drastically as I imagine? :/ Will I need multiple saves for following the same route, or is it safe to pick 1ne guy and not worry about missing out on branching pathes?
Well besides the typical Romance Level that many adventures include I wanted also to include a Madness level. It's Cthulhu after all. My idea is the different endings of the story will be affected not only by the affinity with the characters but also by that Madness levels. In some dialogs branches you discover things or you get involved with Mythos knowledge. That increases your Madness level. On the other hand yes, there are options that will allow you to play special events that can be reached only by certain dialogs. As an example there's only a single dialog route that will allow you to experience a picnic with Darius on sunday. There will be also things that will not change as much. On Day two some dialogs will change depending on your knowledge level about Elias, but it's not something that will make you lose a full scene. Hope this answer your question.
Ah, thankx for the response :p After reading xour explanation, it makes a lot of sense why there are so many options. This will definitely make xour VN even more original :3
Would it be too much of a spoiler to include this information in a write up on this page so that others would know? Or maybe xou could consider creating a guide down the road? It sounds like there will be a lot of diverging paths.
Thank xou for all the work xou're doing :) and as some1ne who owns a copy of the necronomicon, I'm looking forward to where xou take this~ :p
Well, as you can see in the dev log, there are already events you can miss depending on who you meet or the options you take in the dialogues.
About the guide, I will think about this. I don't know if I should do it already or when the game is more advanced. Another question would be if I should have a full guide or a guide more oriented towards giving tips.
And be careful if you have a copy of the Necronomicon. The MC could go for you and there who knows what could happen :)
Just read the new dev log, and no problem for the late reply :p I'm going to explore the options a little more and figure out the system xou have in place upon the new release! :D
And concerning the guide... A tip based guide 1nce the VN has developed further would be more appealing, at least for me, but maybe a comprehensive 1ne would be good down the line?
Very promising so far! I like the premise quite a bit. Sexthulhu has always been a winner in my book, plus the pairing with the leather was inspired. That said, the player seems to be be bottom/submissive in most pairing I found. Is that going to be the norm for the entire game or will there be some dom paths?
Thank you for your comment. My idea is the MC being versatile so you will be able to see both (There are top scenes already in the game). Same happends with sub/dom. Right now there's already Dom scenes in the game but I think that having in account that is the first time the MC experiments with BDSM even the DOM situations are beign more guided than habitual. Clue: Try to play with Antonio or Darius ;) Elias experience is also interesting I think.
You can get cuffed in the book shop if you look around. You can also go down on Blake, with two different paths to do so. Also in the club, Blake and Chris has some more scenes to that effect and there is another guy that shows up if you don't choose any of the options.
Played through a few choices near the end and cthulu mythos is always something fun to explore, the storyline and the characters are interesting to interact with, and I can't wait to see here this goes. my only gripe is what I believe to be ai art used for the character sprites but i can let it slide for the engaging game itself at the moment
Hi! Thank you for your comments. I'm glad you like the story. I confess that I'm writter and not an artist so you are right, I base the characters on IA and then I retouch them the best I can. Believe me that I expend many hours with my poor knowledge :)
Thank you very much for your comment. As I'm the only person developing this it will be slow but I hope I can keep doing updates regularly even if they are small. I've started working on the second day already.
Hm... I'm not sure if I'm just not making the right choices, or it's a set quality of the MC, but it seems like the MC is very hesitant about sex and BDSM? Even if I choose to engage with sex and BDSM content, it feels like something the MC is not familiar with, and if I don't engage with it at all, the implication seems to be that the MC isn't comfortable with it. Is there a possibility to play as an MC who is already familiar and comfortable with sex and BDSM?
Hi. As you say it's q quality of the MC. He has doubts about his sexuality and never had an experience with BDSM before. The rest of characters will introduce him in this world as the story advances. It's logical that at the begining he has doubts and he is not sure about if he should try these things. In this first day he can have some BDSM play doing the right choices.
So about the question, I'm sorry but no, you can't play with an experienced character as that would change completly the story and character personality.
I'm sorry for not fiting perfectly your interest. Anyways thank you very much for your comment. If you have any suggestion it will be most welcomed. I'm very open to them.

I've uploaded the patch that should solve the problem.
Just to be sure of things:
1) I have a version of your game file I downloaded on 06/14/23 that is 131 MB in size and another I download on 06/28/23 that is 132 MB in size (which is the one that appears above as version 7).

It's good but I hope there's an option from the start where we will choose our roles
cause I want to be sub and bottom permanently but seeing those scenes... it's like I'm gonna be a top and dom throughout the game.

blake club scene, chris club scene and the latest where you can choose as wolf are the only options for the role that I wanted ):

I'll give you a little spoiler..... The first scene on Day 3 is as sub bottom, so I hope you like it.

I've seen it already and I've corrected it. I'll try to upload a patch today. Sorry!
I've uploaded the patch already. Sorry for the inconveniences.

Is there a guide for this, I kinda want to see all the CGs
Not on my side, At least, not yet.
New version is released
LOVE IT <3
Thank you very much!
Will there be an Android version?
I've uploaded the Android version already :)

In the 2nd day I've prepared a scene thinking exactly on the request you did. You will need to find it :) Hope you like it :)
Very promising so far! I like the premise quite a bit. Sexthulhu has always been a winner in my book, plus the pairing with the leather was inspired.

Wait, I was trying to find sub MC scenes and wasn't able to o.O Where did you find them?
You can get cuffed in the book shop if you look around. You can also go down on Blake, with two different paths to do so. Also in the club, Blake and Chris has some more scenes to that effect and there is another guy that shows up if you don't choose any of the options.
Is it possible to make a Mac version?
I can try it but as I don't have a mac to test it I don't know if it will work.
I've upload a mac version. If you can try it and let me know if it works. If so I'll keep updating them.
Looks like it works. Really appreciate it!
Played through a few choices near the end and cthulu mythos is always something fun to explore, the storyline and the characters are interesting to interact with, and I can't wait to see here this goes. my only gripe is what I believe to be ai art used for the character sprites but i can let it slide for the engaging game itself at the moment
Hi! Thank you for your comments. I'm glad you like the story. I confess that I'm writter and not an artist so you are right, I base the characters on IA and then I retouch them the best I can. Believe me that I expend many hours with my poor knowledge :)
Hey, am I going crazy (which is a possibility) but is thin download actually missing the executable file?
Just checked it and you are right. Going to upload it again
Repaired
Thanks for the hasty repair! :
Sorry was my fault trying to repair fastly another thing :)
Excuse me. When I load a saved file, it just spins the hourglass and doesn't work. What could be the cause? :(
You are right. I'm going to check it. Thanks!
Uploaded a new version that should correct the error
Oh! A nice surprise, love the theme. I'm really interest, excited to see more!
Thank you very much for your comment. As I'm the only person developing this it will be slow but I hope I can keep doing updates regularly even if they are small. I've started working on the second day already.
Changed!!!!!! Thank you very much for telling me. You can contact me at smaugpuppy@gmail.com. Thanks!!!!!

So about the question, I'm sorry but no, you can't play with an experienced character as that would change completly the story and character personality.
Hm, ok. I'm still interested in playing but I guess I will have to come in with a different mindset so I can get in the MC's shoes better.
I'm sorry for not fiting perfectly your interest. Anyways thank you very much for your comment. If you have any suggestion it will be most welcomed. I'm very open to them.
