Is this game ''safe'' and intended for the family?

[catgames332]

I would like to give this game to my girlfriend, but i'm afraid there will be something weird happening and get accused of something i wasn't intending, i hear this game was little witch academia X dark souls, is this true?

[Groen90]

This isn't a hentai game if that's what you mean, the most dangerous thing would be managing to sneak the camera under the skirt of the protagonist and one of the bosses... so I guess it's safe?

It's true that the game takes the basic mechanics of Dark Souls, but just because of that don't go in expecting a Souls clone; and as for LWA, the only thing it has in common with it is "little witch" in the title, lol

Game itself for what it has so far is generally cutesy, so no worries there. Even if you do happen to see under the main character's skirt, the bloomers make it pretty tame (and good luck managing to even accidentally see under the skirt of "one of the bosses" mentioned in the first reply haha).

In other words, you'll really only find anything "weird" outside of the game. I imagine it'll mostly remain that way in the future too, but it's EA, so you can never really be 100% sure.

I'm so glad that this games doesn't use oversexualization to appeal to a "certain" audience. I was really worried after the developer(s) made that announcement some time ago regarding some character's panties.

And yet... You don't seem to own the game.... Oh well...

Oh, so there's an opinion you obviously don't like and that's how you try to discredit it. Well, for me "early access" simply means "don't buy yet". But if a game really piqued my interest (I like both Dark Souls and anime) I follow it to track its progress. Sometimes I check the discussions to see if there's something interesting to find. No need to buy a game to do all this.

You discredit yourself by stating "early access" means "don't buy yet".
You're literally telling the developer to work for free until everything is done.
And yet, you still have the audacity to opinate about "omg the appeal to a "certain" audience!".
Developers, and specially small developers, need to make money of the product ASAP so that they can at least eat and pay bills.
And the refund system exists for a reason.
If you don't buy a game just because it's a work in progress, then heaven forbid you get into an online MMORPG that keeps constantly getting updated with new bugs introduced.

True, except for developers that abuse the system.
Early Access doesn't have a time limit, so whatever expected completion date even 100 years is acceptable to Steam as we gamers take our risk to buy it.
Back to LWN, they claimed they've developed the game for 3 years and still need 2 more years to get it done. Judging by the size and scope of the game so far, plus they are now busy updating their Pateron and merchandising in Japan, I don't see they are putting enough effort into the game dev. Or they might just found a better way of getting easy money. So yeah it is a good idea to "don't buy yet".

You mean like how games are normally developed? I'm simply not a fan of this early access method. I don't want to beta test. I don't want to spoil myself and already be over a game when it actually releases. And I also don't like developers to constantly ask their customers for advice. It's like a painter who asks others: "Is this stroke right? Should I choose a different color there?" To me it shows a lack of artistic vision and not trusting oneself to develop a good game on their own. And then there's the risk of games never being finished, developers vanishing into thin air and leaving a mess, games taking a different direction that you don't like any more. So, my approach is plain and simple: Buy when it's done and it's the way I like. If that should be the case with this game I would gladly pay three or four times the current price.

I see what you mean, but games are fundamentally different than other art media, in that they (usually) actively involve the player. That's why playtesting is a thing (or at least it should be, ideally) whether the game is an indie early access title or a "AAA" one.

[Groen90]

also this is going completely off topic

[LukeRS]

No, the game is not suitable for kids. It's pretty violent and dark in some areas.

If the blue hair and her Karen attitude didn't tip you off yet , she's here for her agenda and attention, not videogames.

Early access literally exist to support indie developers and help them through the process of creating videogames because they're just that, indie.

They don't have triple A money, these are crowfunded/kickstarted games made by few passionate people, you also cannot pretend people to work for free from start to finish till the game's completion.

How are they supposed to survive in the meantime? normal work? do you think a normal person can really come home from their 9 to 5 ( or worse) job, dead tired and start merrily working on their game?

When, in your mind, are they supposed to be able to sleep or how should they even be able to afford the normal quality of life?


I don't know you but based on how you reason you sound very bratty and entitled.


Early access is very risky to get into as a customer but it also gives you both the opportunity to play the game early, support the developing/developers and also, infact, pay the final product far less than what you would when it's finally complete.


That's the nature of Early access to begin with.

It's a Risk/reward system based on trust.

There are some devs that abuse the business model and people's trust, but that doesn't mean that giving the option is something bad or something that shouldn't exist to begin with.

If you don't like it there's a good news: nobody forces you to buy this right now or to trust or trust the dev.


I don't usually support Early access either, but if something really piques my interest and i really feel like i want to support it i do and i'm glad i have the opportunity/option to begin with.

Making a choice and deciding not to trust indie devs/early access and going in the forums moaning about something that's completely uninformed and pointless are 2 very different things, one is fair and understandable the other feels quite obnoxious and annoying to even read.


I guess sometimes it's right to judge the book by its cover.
