I just played 6 hours and I love it!

[Ai_Ric]

Here is my first feedback:
1. No crashes. No performance drops at max. Details (i7 12700KF, RTX 4070)
2. A lot to explore (anomalies)
3. Lots of WTF moments in the hallway
4. Fun moments with the visitors
5. An incredibly cheap price for this game
6. You can pet the cat :-P

A fun game that has the great and unique charm of Madmind Studio.
All in all, for me it's a very good start. I'm looking forward to everything that's to come.
(I'll expand the review after I've played longer.)

[yoda221]

I share your opinion,

Even if I encounter some slowdowns during animations (I7 10700F, RTX 2060), the game/price ratio is very reasonable, and enriches the paranoid gaming experience (to a certain extent).

I like the link that Madmind makes between these different games and I hope they will add lots of puzzles (I liked the one with the stairs)

[Perry]

Same here, playing with RTX 4070 SUPER on 3440x1440 (Ultra Wide) on high settings with HDR, the graphics are beautiful to watch, it even has DLSS support, no performance drops here. I hope they add more content to this game since it is Early Access. This game is really to do exploring like the old way. Explore , learn and try out. No helping hands or tutorial, just play the game and enjoy the experience. Thanks Mad Mind Studio.

From what I read from a review, the game is short. It's all about getting money to pay rent? the store page mentions mini-games, what are they? since you didn't mention anything about it.

When you say "lots of wtf moments" how many is a lot to you? is it every time you enter the hallway? how long is the hallway? why not share a screenshot of it?

How many fun moments are we talking about? one action repeated? same actions for every visitor? Can you avoid Penis? or are forced to take it? lots of much needed info.

It's cheap because it's an "Early Access" game that is not fully worked on or completed yet. Watch the price hit $20+ when it officially launches out of EA.

Is that all? don't need to feed it, play with it, edit it? (can you change the cat's fur etc?) yeah, people aren't mentioning much info about the game.

[Perry]

If you watch the trailer, you see at the end saying Early Access, but I think the game is now complete, My bad, yes the game is short if you rush out.

I think the most time you are spending are doing chores at home, taking dates on, selling stuff, customize her, also the clothes are important, and enjoy the cutscenes mostly, I don't want to spoil a lot, but I had some unexpected moments in te game like phew.. The game is meant to surprise the player and experience their own way playing it. I think it is also meant to play repeatable .

It's not a game that aims to play for hours and hours but more to enjoy of it. And this made me interest in other games as well, like PARANOID. Vydija is a cross over heroine that is available in other games of Mad Mind Studio. I think, it is their love of this character to play her in different settings and atmosphere. I would say, try this game out, give it a chance. And also play SUCCUBUS or PARANOID. Really nice games.

Also I think people aren't mentioning much info about this game, is not to spoil things out, because the game is linear. If the game interest you bit, buy it and play it, don't go often what other people say, because each person experiences different then others. Then it can lose your interest. Just be open and try it out. I would say, interesting game and very unique.

ok pero se e corto cosa ci faccio non e un gioco se devo fare sempre le stesse cose e non fai altri non conviene si fa sesso quelli si pero poi? che fai devi guadagnare ecc. e il divertimento dove sta!!!!!

ok but if it's short what do I do with it it's not a game if I always have to do the same things and you don't do others it's not worth having sex with them but then what? what do you do you have to earn etc. and where is the fun!!!!!

To be more precise for me,

For the moment we go around the main actions in 2 hours
Which makes me see this game more like an arcade game.

The scenes with the NPCs are rather repetitive, but there must be about fifteen different ones that are repetitions of animation, it seems that they are endless loops (unfortunately)

And there are several classic actions, preparing food, riding a bike, etc., they are cinematic loop scenes.

I think the game still needs to be improved.

I have not found any way to interact with the toys that can be bought in the game.

And as for the cat there is only one interaction when it is on the washing machine, you can not do anything else with it, but it gives the impression after having used the action, to hide something, maybe a riddle (but I am getting ahead of myself)

To finish the game is to survive as long as possible, the more you advance in the days of the game, the more you can meet characters and unlock new things (example: sewing machine + latex).

In other words, the game is correct as an arcade game, there is at least one puzzle to solve with the stairs, but you can go around in circles in the latter by seeing several different anomalies, but I do not know how many, and there does not seem to be any interaction with these anomalies.

In addition, this game is a bit related to the other ones in the franchise (at least for the Paranoid game), you will find easter eggs, with anecdotes about the history of the latter

For less than 10€ in the state it remains correct for an ARCADE game, at least 2h00 of play, even if with my configuration, laggs are felt and harm the potential of the game.

Now I hope that Marmind will add puzzles, and hidden scenes, and will improve the performances.

Hoping to have answered a little more of your questions

yes, thank you very much, it was very clear

I thought it was still in "Early Access" going by a review I read. That is my fault then. Thank you for clearing that up for me (should have known, especially with it not showing "Early Access" on the store page lol)

So, it's just nonstop repeatable/repetitive things? can I just, not do anything and chill? I don't want to feel rushed and be put on a time limit (if you have to pay rent, I'd assume you have to pay by a certain day or whatever) which, confuses me because if she didn't have a job. how the hell did she get the apartment she has now? anyways, game logic.

Lots of cutscenes.... I had a feeling about this as well (why couldn't we take control during those moments?) what, we just have to watch everything play out? we don't have control on what happens during the sex or anything else?

Do you "have" to sleep with everyone? can you avoid people (well, besides avoiding the ones who end your life... going by the game's store page)

The game needs more work/improvement and yet, it's not in Early Access. I guess this will be one of those games that constantly gets patched up/get future updates for however long (if it gets any)

Wow... buying toys you can't even interact with (maybe not solo but when sex with partners happen?).. what "can" you interactive with? because the Store Page mentions "gaming, watching movies, smoking" are all these cutscenes? can you not do anything yourself? (like have control over anything/everything, like a Simulation)

Kinda like in GTA V. When you smoke, you can light up the bong, got a drink? you can sip it until you finish it. A cigarette/joint? puff on it until it's gone.

People can mention things without spoiling anything. It all depends on what you say and how you say it. I know all this stuff. The info I am looking for is the info that the store page doesn't tell you.

The game's store page mentions a bunch of stuff you can do but then I hear the game is short, has repeatable/repetitive things and focused on paying rent... see what I mean? oh, and going up/down some stairs... looped scenes.... what can you actually do yourself? fully and not something that is looped/repeated/a scene.

Yeah, I get you. I was also thinking about other ways to earn instead of being forced to have sex for money. This is what it says on the store page

"Vydija, by selling her yoga recordings online and collecting positive opinions after meetings, is gaining an increasingly better reputation, which translates into earnings. And this allows her to reach exclusive goods and more interesting, very demanding partners"

I don't see any other way of making money... she smokes pot, why not sell some? or why not do/sell other stuff as well? no other jobs? no Onlyfans? Twitch Streaming? food job? there are tons of jobs that they could have added.

Technically it is Early Access. Steam rejected it for Early Access being a adult game. The devs had to remove the Early Access tag and release it as a full game but it is techincally still Early Access with more content planned and coming.

About the rent and playtime: The weekly rent is a kinda of routine. Like a red line to follow. Some returning goal. Doing only yoga, sport, showering etc. Would be boring someday.
I played 6 hours. I have the feeling that finding every anomaly will lift the playtime up 100 hours+. (Anomalies are completly optional)

About the mini games: I count the anomalies to "mini games". There are 190 different ( thats the latest number I found on their discord (29.Sept). Those I saw were kinda "look, think, do A or B, rethink". No quick-action mini games. I don't wanna spoiler anything but here is a small example: I walk around the hallway, all normal. Later I were on the same place again and something was different. Took a while to understand what happend. After that I was like "WTF thats real cool".. I dont post screenshot about the hallway/anomalies to avoid spoiler for every one else.

About the fun moments with visitors: You learn to know your visitors, through chatting and through their profil. There was a regular visitor. I knew him long time (11 days). On the 12th days I didnt noticed that he acted a bit different. Long story short: I died.
There are different action you can do with your visitor. I dont like something he wants? Dont do it. Try something different. But you should always count with, that he gets annoyed and leaves.

About the price: I played a lot of early access games with way less content for 2x or 3x this price.

About the cat. Good question! I havent tried/thought about to change the fur. Idk if it even possible

I hope my infos gave some answers :-)

Hello.

Thank you for your time and information.

In the game it is possible to unlock new types of sex interactions and animations, new poses? Or what we can choose when we visit a partner at the beginning of the game remains the same throughout the game?

Are there any sexual interactions outside of the apartment?

Nope. I kinda knew it was supposed still be in Early Access, but with you saying what you said, it confused me and made me think I was wrong, and I wasn't. You shouldn't say something isn't in "Early Access" if you aren't 100% sure.

So, it's an "Early Access" game without the "Early Access" tag. No wonder it's so short and barely offers much.

How long does the weekly rent last for? Is it a whole month's worth, is it a few or a years' worth? You said you played for 6 hours so a couple weeks' worth? boring daily routine doesn't sound fun (you have to do these?) you can't chill, like the store page says you can? smoke, game, watch movies etc?

Hmm, 100+ hours is stretching it. You can't be certain you'd get that many hours out of those and it doesn't mean it wouldn't get boring/repetitive after a while. If it's optional, I wouldn't count that towards the actual story game time.

"About the mini games: I count the anomalies to "mini games". There are 190 different ( thats the latest number I found on their discord"

Don't go based off what you read on Discord. I want a player's actual info. I wouldn't call those a mini game, more like optional quests.

If you mean games like "Sons of the Forest" or "Outlast Trials" being highly priced Early Access games, the prices didn't raise much at release (I think they stayed the same) and look at those games vs this.

Just more options with the kitty in general (rub its tummy, play with it, its ears, get the kitty toys it can play with etc) but yeah, being able to make it black and give it lovely green eyes, it'll fit the Halloween vibe. Speaking of, why no Halloween Update?

You are welcome!
About the unlock of new types I am not sure. I haven't noticed any new yet. The way you can relax expand at some points (f.e. first riding the bike, then I found out how to ride the bike with some "extra fun"). There are two main routes to interact with the visitor: Naughty and classic. Both have several actions. F.e. naughty: Be dominant or submissive (both of those two have 4 (or so) actions again. In the trailer you see a Cross. I havent found out how to find / get that. I wasnt outside yet. I even dont know if there is a "outside".

You have to pay rent weekly.

6 Hours were about 13 ingame day for me (with a lot of dying at the beginning. Most time I try to keep Vydija in shape (sport etc.) and find anomalies.

About the mini games /anomalies: Fair enough. But for me, those kinda count to the Story. It's about Vydijas life/future/maybe faith. But everyone can decide for themself if it's "nice to have bonus" :-)

About the numbers from discord: It was a official number by the devs. I thought it's good let others know (who arent using discord) :-)

About the price of other early access games: Yeah thats right. But I had other small studio adult games, which 2x priced with placeholders, unfinished areas, missings animations etc. This game here doesnt feel incomplete. Thats why I mentioned the real good price.

About the future / Events: The first patch is on the way, and roadmap is coming.
"Next week we will present to you our plans for further development of the game and the support roadmap for the entire year 2024." (Dev news from discord).

Fingers crossed for some Halloween vibes :-)
