Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Safari. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Kudos
It’s perfect time to make some plans for the future and it is time to be happy. I’ve read this post and if I could I desire to suggest you some interesting things or advice. Maybe you could write next articles referring to this article. I wish to read more things about it!
Hello, i think that i saw you visited my site thus i came to “return the favor”.I am attempting to find things to improve my web site!I suppose its ok to use a few of your ideas!!
did i take the brown acid or something what the fuck is happening in these comments
I thought it was nohomo shilling for Alex Jones’ snake oil supplements.
You should try some of those supplements, maybe you wouldn’t be so gay.
You’re right. A pill that does nothing to not change me at all. It’s the perfect plan.
But then I’d be giving money to Alex Jones. I try not to enable truthers.
Fuck off. He asked for an anti gay pill. Alex Jones is the Pinnacle of not being gay!
Hence it’s needed here where gayness is widely spread.
My brother suggested I might like this website. He was entirely right. This post actually made my day. You cann’t imagine simply how much time I had spent for this info! Thanks!
If you desire to increase your know-how just keep visiting this website and be updated with the newest news update posted here.
Normally, I’m not really into playing a criminal or living a life of crime, but I gave this one a shot anyway. I mean, let’s be real, what was I really expecting from a game on this website, besides playing a cunning bastard, trying to trick girls into having sex with me? But… I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by this one.
In this game you are actually fairly respectful with the girls. Initially, I wasn’t that attracted to the two main girls in this game, but the casual, slow simmering story with them made it all very sensual, so I couldn’t help falling for both of them in the end. Since they are also decent girls, this game is definitely more erotic than pornographic.
(Heads up, in the text below will be spoilers.)
Here’s what I particularly liked. In some of these erotic/porn games, women have such enormous breasts that it’s barely realistic, to the point it almost becomes comical. Sure, it IS a game, so it’s ok to go a little overboard with the animations or go full fetish, but I like that this game doesn’t. As a matter of fact, both Sophia and Alice have perfect breasts! I also liked that Sophia has a trimmed patch. I seriously hate how everyone nowadays seem to think that grown women should look like 6 year old girls ‘down there’. No, I don’t like a ‘rain forest’ either, but some pubic hair is certainly appreciated. You’re an adult, for crying out loud. Real life is not a porn movie!
Finally, I noticed the shadow reflection of Alice’s movements in the shower doors during one scene. Small detail perhaps, but one I wanted to mention nonetheless. Another detail is the food. Breakfast and dinner always look very appetizing in this game (and you’ll be having it a lot). Last but not least, finally a game with an attractive Indian girl! We don’t get enough of those. 🙂
So far it has 13 chapters and the game isn’t finished yet, but I’m curious to see what happens next.
Thank you for your review, sir, it’s really helpful (y)
I just like the helpful info you provide for your articles. I will bookmark your weblog and check again right here frequently. I’m rather certain I will learn many new stuff right right here! Best of luck for the next!
Having read this I believed it was rather enlightening. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this information together. I once again find myself spending a lot of time both reading and leaving comments. But so what, it was still worthwhile!
Actually no matter if someone doesn’t understand then its up to other people that they will assist, so here it takes place.
Okay, so good parts out of the way first:
– I’m pleased you’ve fleshed out the story from the rough drafts. I’m even more pleased you seem to have gotten to the point of keeping the saves with new updates. I will say I like that you make the MC capable – barring a few points that I will bring up.
– You don’t go into his training in the martial arts. Or weapon craft. I’m assuming some light level of mixed martial arts, with more street fighting having been thrown in. So far you’ve put him into an assassin’s path as a class option. But he’s still too raw to set up a Ninja LI (unless you let him take her down with a lucky shot – and no, severing your wrist by pulling out her sword does not count as LUCKY. It’s STUPID – From any metric of combat art) Ryu should NOT be threatening MC with a katana before they even get to know each other. Tsundere is NOT attractive to most sane people. She wanted to prove she had honor; so LET her. By not automatically thinking to point a sharp object at someone she does not absolutely KNOW is an enemy – Especially BECAUSE you intend her as a LI!
= How many girls would you date that have openly threatened you with overgrown knives? o. O
While we’re on the subject; yes. Sophia can be the more technically skilled combatant overall – BUT MC OUTWEIGHS her. That counts for a LOT more in most cases. [Do NOT make the MC lose to a fucking girl just because she has a slit he wants to use. It demeans BOTH characters. His abilities, and hers]
On that subject: Do NOT make Alice’s wounds mean she won’t ever have kids. I can see you going there, and fuck right off if you try. Pregnancy isn’t in the tags yet, but it should be soon. Considering how often you are just making MC come inside the girls without even checking if the Player wants that outcome [Not complaining as it suits my taste – but it does mean you have to follow through on the consequences. Also fuck the birth control excuse. It kills the Fantasy aspect]
My recommendation which I think if you really WANT both new girls to be LI’s at all you actually are leading toward in the first place, would be Ryu is not implicated in whatever the hell Reevena would accuse – BUT her family overall may be guilty of the crime. Since she is so honorbound, you can have her see it as a stain on how she thinks the clan should be. Call THAT her empowerment moment. Where she will choose MC’s side. From that point, you can build things. If you set the pair as rivals that more of a dick move. I’m also not wild about diversity for diversity’s sake. However so long as they have more use and more character in story than stereotypes of their cultures, fair game.
I do hope you won’t make Augusto be an arse or a rival to the MC’s that choose to go benevolent. He can disagree; he can argue the point ideologically, but it should never come down to who’s side he’s actually on. I firmly believe it would be character growth for him to either straight up say MC is better for the Heir, when Big Boss does pass the crown. Or have Dumont suggest MC, and then have Augusto agree after a pause. Just don’t make that a point buy system – since one of his +1’s was tied to a cruel response and I don’t like mixing and matching just to make my companions like me if I’m aiming for a set path. [We get enough of that in Fallout and Dragon Age, damn it]
I can say at least you’ve finally included actual lewd scenes. They’re a bit quick and there’s no choice of ending, but it’s progress. A lot of progress, considering I’ve played this game pretty much from a fairly rough start. So bravo, all told. I’m hopeful to see where you’ll go next. But the next time Ryu points a katana at MC’s back – warn her he’s going to shove his, in a Shoryuken! up her pretty petite ass ; ) [Then again, she might be into that…]
I don’t know what the fuss is all about with this game. So far, i think its quite decent.
I think I know why this is called Hardtimes:
I am having a fucking hard time reading the text and there is no slider to set the transparency. Goddammit UX first week in any course and the author failed that choosing a dark grey for text…
The chapters are way too short this game seems like not nearly half ready at the moment storywise.

Dev – maybe consider making your CG available separately from the game. For me there isn’t anything from the tags that makes me interested enough to spend free DL bandwidth on what looks like (from your description) a pretty cookie-cutter story. But your visuals look pretty good, so I would DL those separately if that was an option.
Hello There. I found your blog using msn. This is an extremely well written article. I?ll make sure to bookmark it and return to read more of your useful info. Thanks for the post. I?ll definitely return.
