The final game may also contain slightly spicy verbal depictions, but still be SFW. Question: Are there any content or trigger warnings for this game?
We are not too sure yet, to be honest. This game was designed as an Otome game, and we are hoping to make some CGs with a visible player (with simple skin color selection), but we might add a Masc/Male player option for the final game if there is enough demand. This does add additional art workload (time, energy, and money), so if not many people are asking for it, there may only be female MC. Question: Will there be a Masc/Male Player option?
Yes, we will be looking to add English voice acting after this initial Demo release. If you are interested in auditioning, please send your Demo reel to veryfatcatandfriends@gmail.com ! Question: Will there be Voice Acting?
Yes! We are hoping to build out the final game with enough content and quality to be worth paying for, but the Demo will always be up, and always be free. Purchasing the game once is a huge support to us devs, as we do not have any Patreon or Kofi setup. We are considering setting the final price as $9.99 USD. Question: Will the final game be paid?
Yes, we will be looking to localize into Simplified Chinese and Brazilian Portuguese at some point in time, since this will be a paid game. Question: Other Language Localizations?
