Despite have a basis in being a visual novel style, I was pretty invested throughout. The sound design was quite good in both the music and effects, and the artwork was quite complementary to them as well. Especially so since you spend much of act 1 looking at into a dark cave, with only the difference being her 3 eyes opened/closed, and a claw coming out occasionally. The death screen is also nicely done in how it comes out, very good visual feedback.
The story overall is a bit light being taken from what we know of SCP so far, but really I was far more invested in the dialogue and discussions with 682. I really felt like this nailed her personality down from when she is talkative to being annoyed, though it did feel there were a few times the lead overstepped his boundaries a bit much to be believable. Her having a slightly sadistic/mischief streak along with her disgust/irritation and predator/prey view for others was very on-point, but I especially like that the first time she opens up is when the lead absentmindedly implies he could die by her hands and she takes notice. I honestly forget I even was playing an H-game because she was so interestingly *alien* to speak to.
On the downsides in the demo, waiting didn't seem to do anything besides sometimes let 682 finish her food. Giving her food I had to get a feel for "how much" she wants before receiving dialogue, but it felt a bit save-scummy finding that out. There was also an odd bit on the last (2nd to last?) day where I got the same banana dialogue again instead of the other one I to reload multiple times to see.
I also admit like a previous commenter, I came for a monstrous lizard gf, and saw an anime monster girl which is pretty disappointing, day ruined, etc etc. You've mentioned you'll explain why she looks like that in the next update, but I do hope we get to see the girl monster lizard at some point since Mal0vent shows you can keep the skull and still have an attractive gal - a lot of nice 682 artworks show that as well. I am still interested based on what I saw, so I wish you good luck and will follow along to see what's next then!
The fact you identified her as being "interestingly alien" means we're doing a good job writing her character. First and foremost, we want her to feel like 682, regardless of what form she decides to take. And yes, we address her look right at the beginning of Act 2. My hope is that her reasoning is received well, but only time will tell!
Just got done with Act 1, love it! Only died once, which is surprising cause I usually speedrun every character to his or her damn death. I've played Malovent 0.2v and loved that too! In fact, I've loved pretty much every one of the games I've played by y'all! Can't wait for the next parts!
April at the very least! We're still cooking on the H-Scene, after which we're doing one final audio and sprite pass through the script so it's as close to perfect as possible. T2+ Patrons will get v0.2 two weeks before the public does here on Itch.
Ok, call me crazy. Call me whatever you want. I don't care. I will die on this hill. Nightfox works, I think you should make a murder drones visual novel. Now before you write me off, listen. There's real potential here! Nobody has made a visual novel on murder drones yet, and it's super popular! Also I think it's got real potential for horror, think about it. Your a worker drone, and you see a faint yellow light for a second, then before you can even blink, CRUNCH. There goes your front of your head. Please, just think about it, I know you already have a lot on your to-do list, but I'm not joking. It's worth a look, if you ask me. But that's up to you, in the end.
Goddammit, i came here for a monstrous lizard gf, instead i got an anime monster girl. My dissapointment is unimaginable and my day is ruined. Was hyped until the end of chapter 1. Nice dialogue writing and art style tho
Just finished build 0.1 and am looking forward to future builds.
If this story has a Happy Ending, there is only one way I can see it playing out. The Foundation implements an "Open Air Containment" policy for 682 and the Protagonist.
The Foundation has been observing 682 since their escape, and took note that it has not killed a certain Human that has been bringing it food. After continual observation, they observed that 682 is markedly less homicidal to the Human race, which they believe to be an effort from 682 to not draw Foundation attention and be separated from their highly tolerable Human companion. Seeing the opportunity to save on resource expenditure in containing 682, the Foundation decides to let 682 and their Human companion remain out in the woods together while being under constant surveillance for if 682 leaves the area and needs to be put back into the acid pool.
Most hype I've been since F@FF. It's peak. I love the direction you guys took, I love every game you guys have made, I hope y'all enjoy it as much as we do playing the peak y'all make. Amazing.
If I had to go through this, my actual choices... never would have gotten to her cave in the first place, but if I did I'd be eaten after barely any time at all.
I'll admit. Out of any visual novel I came across, this one really half had me as scared as that time where I played PvZ and desperately wanted to avoid the gameover screen at all costs. This takes the cake for actually being a horror visual novel. It really made me think strategically if I really wanted to survive and avoid that jumpscare that still gets me, even if I expect it.
Was rather surprised your going the monster girl route with 682.Did the text of the MC being unable to tell if the tracks around the dead deer were bipedal or quadrupedal foreshadow that 682 is going to be shapeshifting in the story? Being mid transformation right at the end would make sense if 682 disguises herself when roaming.
Short but terribly sweet (and scary) so far, really can't wait to see what you guys will do. Loved your work in A Fortnight at Frenni Fazclaire's and MalOvent.
Se que es una demo y tiene pinta de que la historia que se va a desarrollar va a ser muy interesante pero que lástima que la demo haya sido todo el rato hablando en una cueva con unos ojos xD. Igualmente tiene buen pinta el juego, buen trabajo como siempre.
Quick note: I have to fess up and say it.. that jumpscare genuinely made me jump up and hit my head. I I'd be lying if I said I havent been spooked like that in awhile, so In honor of this I shall be making it into a gif Bravo Nightfoxworks, Bravo.
Oh yeah. Since there's alot of interesting SCPs. Maybe I suggest the SCP-049. But then take your time and don't push yourself and staffs too hard. Death is Easy but Living is Hard.
I LOVE this just finished playing and honestly wish I didn't learn about it until it was finished because I'm so impatient, also if you're looking for another SCP for your next game may I suggest SCP-953 the polymorphic humanoid (just a thought)
i just kept going back and tring every button oce until i got it right but the is the scene qhere is raining then you hinde in the cave and 682 kill you from behind saying that you brough the cops to her
now that o watched a video now i now how i got that i was a coward path only giving her meatand staying silent and then leaving that way the rain occurs on day 6 and she kills you from behind

Guys, they didn't do a progress update for March, they might be releasing the next update real soon.
We did on Patreon, but basically we're just one final H-Scene away from being able to release v0.2! Soon!
Ok! I'm hyped up, can't wait for some lore drops and unique takes. (And some sex on the side.)
Update when. You said 1 H-scene left 13 days ago? Is it scheduled for early or mid April.
April at the very least! We're still cooking on the H-Scene, after which we're doing one final audio and sprite pass through the script so it's as close to perfect as possible. T2+ Patrons will get v0.2 two weeks before the public does here on Itch.
Understood. Sorry for bugging you.
pretty good, cant wait for next update.

We address why she looks like that in the next update! I encourage you to give v0.2 a shot once it's out for the public :D

Dang the jumpscare actually got me the first time XD
okie so played a fortnight and malovent now i played this one their so good! check out my gameplay out please!
need to eat her flesh while she rails me
Unhinged.
Here's my upvote
If I had to go through this, my actual choices... never would have gotten to her cave in the first place, but if I did I'd be eaten after barely any time at all.
Wouldn't even make it to the cave but if I did the smell of rotting flesh alone, would likely leave me comatose lol
New update???
I don't want to be annoying, but I'm wondering if there's any news about the new update?
Currently undergoing the art pass for v0.2
Ur amazing bro, ur games are just on top
I'll admit. Out of any visual novel I came across, this one really half had me as scared as that time where I played PvZ and desperately wanted to avoid the gameover screen at all costs. This takes the cake for actually being a horror visual novel. It really made me think strategically if I really wanted to survive and avoid that jumpscare that still gets me, even if I expect it.
This game has me in it's clutches.
I am eagerly waiting to see it continued and one day completed. Please take care in your work and daily life.
Was rather surprised your going the monster girl route with 682.Did the text of the MC being unable to tell if the tracks around the dead deer were bipedal or quadrupedal foreshadow that 682 is going to be shapeshifting in the story? Being mid transformation right at the end would make sense if 682 disguises herself when roaming.
Ngl, I was kind of jumpscared by the barely clothed humanoid 682, like I was so sure it was just the regular one, like not so human like
YEAAAAA BABY NON-UWU MONSTER GIRLSSSSS. GIVE ME THAT SENSE OF DREAD AND PANIC YES YES YES
This is absolute peak game can't wait for the full version of it🔥🔥
Short but terribly sweet (and scary) so far, really can't wait to see what you guys will do. Loved your work in A Fortnight at Frenni Fazclaire's and MalOvent.
Fire

Edit: I did my best
Lmamaooailaoaoaoaoa
:)
Great game, I need more!
Oh yeah. Since there's alot of interesting SCPs. Maybe I suggest the SCP-049. But then take your time and don't push yourself and staffs too hard. Death is Easy but Living is Hard.
Is that a Hamilton quote at the end? But also agree.definitely a lot of interesting scps. I personally recommend checking out the joke ones.
I LOVE this just finished playing and honestly wish I didn't learn about it until it was finished because I'm so impatient, also if you're looking for another SCP for your next game may I suggest SCP-953 the polymorphic humanoid (just a thought)
i got it now but i died on day 6 did i do something wrong?
How do I get past day 5?
It's either a typo or this dood's trolling, (to my knowledge) there isn't a day past 5 yet
There is but i dont think you can progress
Oh wrd
i just kept going back and tring every button oce until i got it right but the is the scene qhere is raining then you hinde in the cave and 682 kill you from behind saying that you brough the cops to her
now that o watched a video now i now how i got that i was a coward path only giving her meatand staying silent and then leaving that way the rain occurs on day 6 and she kills you from behind
Great game! Can't wait for the next part.
i cant pass day 2 everything i do i die is bugged?
If i was rich i give you all my money for more like this
Y'ALL CAN'T KEEP DOING THIS TO ME AAAAAAGH
(It's very good)
Damn this got me hooked just like MalOvent, im very excited to what the future holds, beautiful work guys!
