Apocalypse XL

I can't continue because my last save file is corrupted, and I don't want to start all over again because this process took me two years.

All I can do is cry and think that 0.27 ended there.

Dude the Mind control girl is such an asshole, she's hilarious. 

I am loving this game you did a good job making it, you shored be prod of your work.  

Guys, i need help to decide if i should continue playing or not.

My peener lead me all the way to the chapter where the gang and the bandits crash their yachts on that „deserted“ island. I don´t know how much playtime is left, but this is where i finally cracked.

The thing is... i never really liked Amber. But the emerging glimpse of character growth following the Kitsune „incident“ gave me hope. I think i would have bailed sooner if not for that.

(Tldr. Does Amber get better from here or should i not bother?)

(in Depth rant)

I was actually thinking she might deliver on the whole caring more about the feelings of others shtick. A character arc from a self absorbed haughty bully who takes whatever she pleases from whoever she pleases and rubs it in their faces in the most self-aggrandizing way to someone who actually reflects on what giving „consent“ actually means: Asking if you can take things, asking if someone likes to get burped at and being forced to listen to her bodily functions when pinned down. And yes, also if she actually wants to risk putting the „monsters“ and other „dumb animals“ through the same trauma she hated so much. (its especially abhorrent, coming from the side mission with the blobbified parents, hearing her go: „i love how i can still feel their bones, eating monsters is the best!“. Savior complex my ass.)

But all that character development was completely discarded by the time of the island chapter. How she treated monsters. How she instantly devoured all the food ignoring how her entire friend circle or at least the bandits might be stuck on that island for a possibly very long time, how she completely shat on rebecca at every corner despite wanting to apologize earlier, how she forced a paralysed (!) mouse twinkboy into her stomach knowing he couldn´t even get out. Abhorrent!

Now i get it. Revelling in the grandeur of what your stomach is able to do is kinda what the fetish is all about, but thats why it is so crucial for the MC to actually be LIKEABLE. When that balance is off it goes from a hot self insert to more and more opposing the character, because she inevitably gets her dick ridden by the universe all the time. Like… rebecca is not exactly the nicest person around and her design ain´t all that sexy, but simply by virtue of being such an underdog you start rooting for her instead of Amber. I wanted to yeet Amber/myself so badly in the Acid pools inside of snake lady when it was teased at just because of the growing disdain alone.

IMHO to enjoy the game its crucial we WANT the MC to get the prime cut all the time. but thats just not the case for me anymore. I have my doubts it gets any better considering whatever the „Cult of Amber“ thing is i keep reading about that will follow this. Does it?

It also doesnt help that the game is just too repetitive. I want to see where the story goes, but i almost feel held hostage, forced to „unlock“ the 100th barely different promopicture of rotund Amber because she ate oh so much again for whatever contrived uninspired reason. it just endlessly loops around. instead of having notable storyprogress and a sense of urgency it just meanders. Like if it actually was hot that would be nice. But the settings are all far too samey and predictable. The game is best whenever the other characters get to shine, though i must say its also very confusing how every girl in the game suddenly has stomach superpowers, but alas, its at least better then even more Amber-wank.

I am sorry (kinda). I really needed to get this of my chest. I suppose i am just angry by how close this game is to actually being something i´d REALLY love. I can clearly see this is a mammoth of an rpg maker game that makes me tingly in the right places occasionally and with lots and lots of orignal art but i am still ready to call it quits now and i won´t lie, that frustrates me, but i realized spending time with Amber frustrates me even more.

I got to the Amber cult section and saved after the sequence with Cat and exited the game after going to the menu, opened up the game and the continue option in the menu was greyed/grayed out, tried relaunching didn't help. I'm gonna have to replay the game aren't I? (I can see the save file in the 'saves' folder don't know what to do)

Just binged the entire game over like 2-3 days, and I have to say, I absolutely love it, even setting the Vore aside I don't think a game has made me laugh this hard in years. I absolutely love it.

Also, if you ever decide to make the youtube video playbacks have optional comments you can read I will be very happy.

But yeah, absolutely amazing game, and I honestly really look forwards to seeing the rest as it's uploaded!
