Ah the delay is mostly due to significant rewrites to get the pacing right for this next release - we've got a pretty significant event happening that'll serve as the catalyst for our characters getting together. It's been tough to write it convincingly, but it's done now, just rendering the last of these shots!
oh you might not be aware - I have a weekly status tracker on my Patreon page posted publicly. So you can see how close (or far) we are from the next update!
I'm glad you found it to your liking! Stay tuned for more updates :) I post a weekly progress chart (for free) on my Patreon page and Discord if you'll like to track the progress more closely!
Oh I should remove that tag, there’s one scene in the boutique. Back when this game was added it felt substantial (early days), things changed quite a lot since then
I love this game. The story is so immersive and both paths are interesting in their own ways. This is one of the games that I might have to wait for a couple updates to stack before I jump in again bc I always want more. Keep up the great work !
Even though I gave Diane a custom name, the default one pops up in this bit of dialogue.
Also, at times you mix past and present tense in the same sentence -sometimes it does not mesh, and subsequently feels wrong.
And -for instance- the use of "breath" (a noun) as a verb (should be "breathe").
Or "did noticed" ("did" makes it past tense, so "noticed" after "did" should be "notice" instead).
"Woman" (singular) sometimes gets replaced by "women" (plural), when only one woman is being referred to.
No biggies in my book, perhaps but something to consider for a more polished finish when a chapter is close to being 100% complete?
If you wish -and are willing to forward me the dialogue as text format files- I could make some suggestions. Ultimately, your game, your rules -so whatever you decide is alright by me.
Still really like Diane; sweet character and you actually make me worry for her at times. Games like this -in its current form at least- are sorely needed amidst the mindless f*ckfests that swamp the net. The nudity is nice -bloody well done, in fact- but it serves the story and the characters; not the other way around. So, thanks!
Thanks Alehazar, glad we've found an audience in you!
There's plenty more mistakes in there I'm sure! Having to rush to produce each chapter in a timely fashion leaves little time for error checking - and that past-present tense thing has been a huge bugbear of mine. We also switched the tenses somewhere in the 3rd day and it's now inconsistent.
The good news though, is that we've got a version of the script kindly fixed by the community - I'll be implementing that in the next chapter, but I'm sure there will still be errors here and there. Thanks so much for your offer, please don't hesitate to drop a private message with any other errors you spot!
Hey thanks for playing it! I'll love to include more languages - we don't have any translators though. If there's a significant number of people asking for this we can consider hiring one! For now I'm afraid you might need to rely on fan translations.
I was looking at this game and it looks good, but I do not understand why it came up in the lesbian section? Are there lesbian scenes in this game? I know, but it is my fetish. I am not really interested in boy/girl or boy/boy sex. I mean I play them, but only if the story is really good. Thank you!
OK, just started playing it and I am already confused. Who is this lady supposed to be? I assumed it was Mum, so I chose that, but then, if that's her son, why does he keep leering at her? That is the last thing you would do with your parent. Or is it his Step Mum? But then, even so. It's all a little bit too weird for me. I feel a bit strange paying it. Incest is definitely not my thing. Sorry, no offence.
None taken - thanks for trying it out! Some like to put her role as caretaker or housekeeper, to create that initial distance. Totally get it if it's not your thing though!
Hang in there, we've got a new update with audio and animation in the new update - We'll release that in a week together with this fix. Sorry about the mess up!
The VN is truly amazing! By far the best VN of its kind I’ve ever seen! The graphics are wonderful, the characters are realistic and human, the storyline is very fluid and spot on, the relationships are strong, the dialogue is great and it all just feels REAL. Looking forward to the next instalment! So we can definitely expect it the next week or so?
Man this game is amazing, the graphics are very realistic, i will help a lot in patreon to see this game and i hope that more games besides this one. Congratulations on the excellent work 👏🏻
First I would like to thank you all for a beautifully presented and crafted game. I appreciate you all for the time you took to create it and it’s beautiful graphics and design. I found this yesterday and I was hooked till the end of the chapter and was crushed...I could go further. I was sucked into the somber but loving world you created and I was hooked on wanting to know things would play, as if watching a movie.
I hope there will be a follow up and UPDATE to add soon, I can’t wait to be back there, and see where they go. I feel invested in this story now that I’m here. Once again thanks.
I like this game a lot; it's full of sweet interactions even if it does touch societal morality at times -of course it's also one of the reasons for playing (as long as I can distinguish fantasy from reality).
I'm sure that not being able to kick Richard is for plot development, but I really felt bad about it -not being able to protect the woman of the house.
Also when they were forced to relocate and her resorting to drinking, was also emotionally depleting -but storywise it makes a lot of sense.
I'm really tired of games where everbody ends up having sex with everyone else; or games that swiftly derail into wild orgies.
I don't mind sex scenes; but this is so much softer, sweeter and generally not over the top or too excessive.
I really like to see how the various plotlines will pan out; for now this is aa game that I want to keep on playing, whereas other games simply stuff raw porn down my throat (without any choice on my part) until I start to choke and I simply quit and uninstall.
My only gripe is but a minor one -and probably another plotdriven event. And that's having no choice to refuse kissing Liane.
(Then there's the grammar and spelling and sometimes some use of words that feel like machine translations; sometimes it feels a little jarring and ruins the immersion. But that's really nitpicking.)
Overall, this game shows so much potential; I still have to try some other choices in the game thus far, just to see where it'll take me. But it is very nice -and refreshing- that it does not devolve into another fukfest type of game.
So many of these games dive into porn straight away, but this gets off to a nice paced start, with a character that actually resembles a human. Too often games will try to emphasize characteristics too much and end up making them look un-natural. This game so far has avoided that and has a pleasant, attractive looking model.
This is still a work in progress and my only suggestion is, perhaps trying to break up some of the long runs of dialog, even simple things like more than one sentence per line, reading for a few seconds then clicking and reading, clicking etc, feels taxing, where if more text was in each dialog window it would make reading and progressing easier.
Secondly although you are still in the early progress of adding sound, even though it is mono audio, make it play through both channels, sound on one side only is a bit jarring, the same effects on both sides would be fine and would feel a bit more balanced.
Besides that, it has been great so far and I can't wait to see more from you in the future.

Dude, you are a legend, this is one of the best visual novels i have played, you have my utmost respect
Hey thanks for taking your time to post this! Much appreciated :)
are there sex scenes between the main characters now ?
Not yet, probably in 2 updates or so when they're at the right point in the story
Just finished, super excited for the next update. Keep up a story this good and I'll def have to hit up that Patreon
Thank you!
When v0.18 update will be in public?
this Sunday!
Seeing that this update is taking much longer than then previous ones, will it also be longer in terms of number of characters and renders? Excited!
Ah the delay is mostly due to significant rewrites to get the pacing right for this next release - we've got a pretty significant event happening that'll serve as the catalyst for our characters getting together. It's been tough to write it convincingly, but it's done now, just rendering the last of these shots!
When can we expect the next release? Super hyped!
About 80% done, so we're mostly just rendering now, expect an update in a couple more weeks!
@lemonkeygames amazing work until now! Desperately waiting for the next release!!

"Richard
You heard my terms Diane."

Do you have a Spanish translation in the update 0.16?. Or are you going to bring in future updates?
I am from Mexico and I have loved your game and I would like to know like everyone else if you will include Spanish in future updates? <3
Hey thanks for playing it! I'll love to include more languages - we don't have any translators though. If there's a significant number of people asking for this we can consider hiring one! For now I'm afraid you might need to rely on fan translations.

I am not really interested in boy/girl or boy/boy sex. I mean I play them, but only if the story is really good. Thank you!
There's a side lesbian scene, it's not the main focus of this VN - though I'll like to think we've got a really nice story going on here :)
Fair enough, I will give it a try. Thank you!
Thank you!

No android update? 👁️👄👁️
Mistake on our end, it should be available now!
It says 16 update but still ends where v15 ended
Hang in there, we've got a new update with audio and animation in the new update - We'll release that in a week together with this fix. Sorry about the mess up!
Great one 🐱
thank you :)
Wow, the new update is great... very good storyline. build up a heat... 😃 great job.
Can't wait for the new update. 👍
Thank you :)
Holy shit those graphics are amazing, made me think these were real people.
Thank you! Still lots of room for improvement :D
Is there any other link to access the game. Can't seem to download through here. It always keep cancelling on me after some time. Thanks!
Heya if you're looking for the public links for the latest release, it's coming out tomorrow! I'll also provide links to my MEGA folder
Are the savegames of 0.15.1 compatible with 0.16 ?
Or is starting a new game required?
It should be compatible, give a shout if it doesn't work for you!
I am waiting for the new update..........#mirrormine #lemonkeygames😃😃

The story is very interesting and the graphics too........
I am waiting for the new update...
Will the update be within this month or next month???
End of this month for patreons and public release will be a week after that!
First I would like to thank you all for a beautifully presented and crafted game. I appreciate you all for the time you took to create it and it’s beautiful graphics and design.

Wow thank you, I’m glad to see the story has touched someone :) We’re hard at work on an update now, and should see it release in a couple more weeks!
when is the next update
7 weeks or so is the plan
I like this game a lot; it's full of sweet interactions even if it does touch societal morality at times -of course it's also one of the reasons for playing (as long as I can distinguish fantasy from reality).
I'm sure that not being able to kick Richard is for plot development, but I really felt bad about it -not being able to protect the woman of the house.

So kudos to you!
Thank you for taking the time to write down your thoughts, it means a lot! I'm glad you're seeing the story for what it is.
Also, please feel free to hop into discord to send any odd language/grammar my way. Even a 'This sentence here feels odd.' will help me :)
I am a fan so far.
So many of these games dive into porn straight away, but this gets off to a nice paced start, with a character that actually resembles a human. Too often games will try to emphasize characteristics too much and end up making them look un-natural. This game so far has avoided that and has a pleasant, attractive looking model.

Besides that, it has been great so far and I can't wait to see more from you in the future.
This is great, thanks for the feedback!
I am assuming the 15.1 update doesn't add anything to the game-play, right? Just a bug fix/polish update?
That’s right, it fixes stuff and adds audio and music to the latest update
I enjoyed the story so far. I hope you're making progress!
Thank you, in the middle of writing the next update right now!
¿Cuándo saldrá en español ??? Saludos
Afraid that's not planned for at the moment, I know there are some fan translations floating around though
I didn't play your game yet but i just want to thank you for not making a huge tit milf bimbo with plastic doll face like most 3DCG game.
You're very welcomed
For for android????
yes android version will be included once it’s out for public release
whens the next update
It's out now! Patreon only for the moment, will be released to public later :)
