There is something I would like feedback on. What did you folks think about the free roaming Chateau scene? (I'm talking about the one where you can wander around Morland's place looking for clues.) Did you like it? Did you like it a lot or was it just kind of "yeah, that was fine"? I'm trying to figure out if the cost/benefit is right for scenes like that. It was a ton of work to do from a writing, coding, and, especially, testing standpoint. If you folks thought, "Oh wow, this is awesome" I'd do similar things in future games. If, on the other hand, you thought, "It was nice, but didn't really add all that much to my enjoyment of the game," then I'd scale back that kind of thing in future games. Honest opinions, please. I won't take offense if you didn't enjoy it very much.

Short answer: I liked it a lot.
Long answer: These are erotic games, so I think that any addition of sexual or spicy scenes are always welcome.
Honestly, in the cchateau sequence I didn't see the sexual scenes coming. The protagonists were hanging around in the villain's lair, who is a really nasty guy. So, I thought it was a really dangerous moment, so the possibility of any sex was out of my head. Luckily, you were kind enough to give us a hint that in that location there were hidden options ("Are you sure you want to go out?").
From a logical point of view, maybe it was not the best place for sexual scenes for the reason that already said it: it is a moment of high tension and it doesn't seem to be the proper behaviour. But if I think about it a secodn time:
-In times of high tension, sometimes sexual arousal increases.
-this is an erotic game, and therefore, it's rueld by a more sexualized logic (in the same way as in other types of games it reigns another type of logic that leads the characters to solve everything by shooting or punching!).
So, I find it great the incorporation of hidden scenes of this type. Especially because, in addition, you have a very "spicy" imagination. I'll never get tired of praising not only the complex plots of your games, but your master touch for erotic scenes. They are really sensual and the narration helps them a lot. And are even better with the suggestive images created by Mortze!
