A few important notes:

As some of you mentioned, this is really more like a technical demo. I must admit that it really is. If we can call it story, it was mostly to tie things up. Plot here - is just a side cut of prologue, more likely to show the technical quality to expect in shot demo. That is why it looks like a harsh. Main plot begins in further update.

For those familiar with Brutalisk’s work, you know he’s found his audience through a lot of trial and exploration to see what resonates best. Some of you might not even be aware of his less kinky projects, simply because they’re not as widely known. We believe that visual novel players, like both of us, are a different audience—one that prefers intimate scenes that feel natural within the story, without being overly harsh. That’s exactly what you can expect from us, and it doesn’t change or reflect on Brutalisk’s other work.

From the very beginning, we decided that we really wanted to create something different from Brutalisk’s usual content, even if it meant sacrificing some popularity—or at least that’s what we thought. In fact, we expected people to ask, ‘Could we expect any heavy kinks, please?’ instead of the other way around.

With that in mind, just wait for the second part, and maybe your questions will answer themselves. Brutalisk also sends his regards and agrees with most of your feedback.
Quite interesting, when someone pointed this project out, first I thought "I know the animation guy, but it's not my kinda content".
So far I ended up liking it a lot! I was actually unaware. Now I have... research to do :sneaky:
Thanks for that.

As you said yourself, it's more of a demo and very short indeed. But render quality and character design, and of course the animations stood out as very high quality. The whole mood in the forest was very well done, liked that a lot. More info on what all those things we saw were are sure to come in the future I suppose.

For the story, character development and what the whole thing will be about, well yeah we'll have to be patient for an update or two to get into it. I will wait with reviewing and so forth for that, until update cycle and a baseline of content are established. Obviously can't say much about all that for now. Synopsis is really basic though, gotta say that gives little actual information of what I'm in for.

Not sure if anyone already pointed them out, but I found a record braking two typos though. TWO! And in one sentence :p
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

That be all for now. Thank you guys for the release and good luck going forward. You got me hooked for more for sure!
Cheers =)

Understandable considering Brutalisk is known for making endless cuck shit, but guess we will wait and see.

People have a strangely stupid mindset that's a bit hard to comprehend. Just because Brutalisk likes making a certain type of content, doesn't mean he can't make something else. As if a master chef that likes making eggs is somehow incapable of making anything else when all the skill is still there. All they need is his animating skill, especially if he's not even involved in the story creation then what's with the stupid, whiny bitching? All he would be doing is making what he's told to make for the story, why would there be an idiotic fear of him "inserting his fetish" for what would essentially be a long list of commissions? Critical thinking/logic always seems to be lacking here, if any ntr is in the animations, then guess what? It was already written in the storyboards/script for it to happen that way. Get out of you drunken porn stupor for a second & just think a little deeper about his role in this project.

Hey, I think the time for me to register here on f95 has come, lol)

I wanted to thank you for your beautiful explanation, you're almost 100% right. The only exception: my role in this project is creator, on equal footing with my friend, I'm not just an animator. And I want to confirm your words and calm the guys in this community. I have no personal kinks, I'm not turned in the cuckold direction, it's just that this content pleases my audience and I'm glad I can entertain them.
But! The idea of creating a game was originally different from my standard content because I really like the romantic direction and I dream of making a game that will appeal to this audience, which likes vanilla harem novels with romantic relationships, humor, and interesting plot twists. I hope you will like our story and play our game with pleasure. I read feedback carefully, and read reviews, and we agree on most of what we read. At the end I would like to thank everyone who was not indifferent to our game and believed in us, we will try not to let you down.

I apologize for another post, but I would really like to thank the guys for the warm words they expressed about my animations and renders, you can't imagine how uplifting and energizing it is.
Thank you for your kind words, it's invaluable! Honestly, I didn't expect to read anything good about my work and you made me smile!
P.S. Don't worry, we will try to do something worthy for you.

Thank you for the clarification about your role in the project. I just couldn't understand some of the braindead thinking that's constantly on display here. Everyone can have an opinion about anything naturally, but one should do their best to make it informed & logical.

At the same time, you allow yourself to assert something without knowing the truth. ;)
especially if he's not even involved in the story creation

The main thing is that he very correctly wrote the idea that a chef can make a soup ( that someone doesn't like ) and can make a cake that you may like. And if the chef has served soups in his restaurant before, it does not mean that opening a restaurant with sweets - there will be soups there too :).
People are used to thinking in terms of clichés. That's the mistake.
Simply put, I think he had good intentions and tried to calm the guys down so they wouldn't worry about possible integration of something inappropriate into the game in the future.
;)

The graphics and the premise is great, but jesus fuck do I hate how she speaks.
It might have to do with english as a second language, but having to navigate the fact that she thinks in perfect english and speaks that mess is an annoyance.
I really hope that I can look past it in later releases, the game has plenty of potential.

While not wrong, I just see that a little differently. If the italian chef with a pizza place known across the city would open up a new shop a town over I would not expect a steakhouse. It's not egregiously absurd to think you would get the thing again that (presumably) is their forte.
You just happen to be known for certain type of content. And I thought so, too. Happened to be wrong about it and it was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. So I'm excited to get to know a (for me at least) new side of your work in Cradle:)

Though I do agree with Ripper that some people could express themselves more civilized. I sure tried to. But that is the internet for you.

We’ll be truly happy if the sequel to the game puts all your worries to rest and brings you pure enjoyment! ;)

I believe I said "if he's not involved", not "he's not involved". Again one of those simple things that can be easily understood if given just a little bit of thought. I wouldn't know the extent of his involvement as an outsider, which is why I made certain not to post a definitive statement about it. That's why I said "should do their best" & not "be 100% right all the time" as that's just not feasible most of the time. I hope I'm not coming off as contentious, but I can't accept a critique when the basis on which it is made is false. Though now I'm the one clogging up the thread & removing focus from the game, so that's enough from me being off topic.

English is not my first language, so I thought you were making a statement. Sorry if I offended you.
