This is the story of Laura. A beautiful 26 year old Italian woman in a relationship with Mario. She knows what she wants and acts accordingly. Her next step in life is to buy a house in her home town and open her own shop. But money doesn't grow on trees. Especially in this rather poor part of the country. It's her partner, Mario, who will push her into an adventure that will take her to a world she doesn't know. A world unlike her own, where money seems easier to come by, especially if you're young and beautiful...
Laura and Mario have been a couple of street vendors for the past eight years, selling fruit and vegetables in the markets around Bria, a picturesque town in Puglia. Lately, Laura has been dreaming of opening her own shop right in the heart of town. After some searching, they find the perfect building — available as a life annuity. It’s a beautiful, well-located property, but unfortunately, just a bit out of their financial reach. Mario hears about a game show that might give them the boost they need to secure a bank loan. Hosted by Canale 6, the show offers one female contestant a grand prize: 50,000 euros and a leading role in a brand-new TV series. The series stars a famous singer-turned-actor making his big comeback after a two-year break. The twist? The identity of the male lead remains a mystery until the show begins. The winner will play his wife. At first, Laura is hesitant. But after a conversation with the property owner — and some encouragement from the town's mayor — she decides to give it a shot. Following a casting session in Naples, Laura is selected to join the show. She heads off to a secret location to film the first two episodes, alongside 19 other contestants, over the course of a week.
Episode 2
Episode 1 ended with an unpleasant surprise for Mario: the mysterious star is none other than Vincenzo Ecosibelo — a charming heartthrob he deeply despises. Due to Vincenzo’s troubled past and past allegations of domestic violence, Laura isn’t too fond of him either, despite having been a fan during his early career. Over the course of the week, however, and after filming a key scene for the competition, Laura begins to see him in a different light. She learns more about his story and slowly reconsiders her opinion. It turns out Vincenzo had been the victim of a scandal-hungry tabloid press, and was fully acquitted in court — something few people ever knew, as the trial took place during his time away from the spotlight. In person, he proves to be friendly and down-to-earth. Despite the constant attention he gets from the other female contestants, he remains neither flirtatious nor arrogant. By the end of the second show, four finalists are announced — and Laura tops the list.
Episode 3
In Episode 3, Laura creates a sensation on the show by crafting hilarious fruit figurines. Her playful idea sparks a national trend — suddenly, every child in Italy wants to make one. Vincenzo, no fool, sees the potential right away. He discreetly approaches Laura and asks if she’d be willing to join him in an upcoming ad campaign. At 5,000 euros a day, the offer is hard to turn down. But what will Mario think? Watching Laura spend more and more time with Vincenzo is starting to wear on him — but the money, and the building, weigh heavily on his mind... In the end, he agrees to let Laura spend two days in Rome for a photo shoot with Vincenzo. It’s her first glimpse into a very different world — luxury hotels, the glamorous pace of advertising... And through it all, she’s accompanied by a charming Vincenzo, who’s clearly becoming more and more interested in her.
Episode 4
Whether she likes it or not, the trip to Rome has left its mark on Laura — and now, she has to deal with the consequences. The four finalists must prepare for the final stage of the competition, which will determine the winner. Each contestant is required to shoot a few scenes in their hometown, to be judged by both a professional jury and the public. The film crew arrives in Bria, welcomed by the mayor — and a surprising assistant: Gloria, the owner of the building Laura dreams of buying. It’s also the first meeting between Vincenzo and Mario. Given the stakes, Mario swallows his pride and hides his resentment — a wise move. After a friendly lunch and the shooting of a short tourism promo — the mayor’s main reason for backing the project — Laura and Vincenzo begin filming their first real scene together. It ends with a romantic kiss. And with that, Laura is faced with her first real choice. It won’t be the last. From here on, two key decisions will shape the rest of the story — and lead to four very different paths.
Episode 5
By the end of Episode 4, Laura had already been faced with an important decision: should she simulate the on-screen kisses, or allow real ones to make the scenes more believable — and give herself a fair shot at competing with the other finalists, especially Sofia? The second day of filming brings a string of romantic scenes, and Vincenzo’s undeniable charm isn’t making things any easier. Laura finds herself unexpectedly stirred by emotions she thought long gone — remnants of her past as a devoted fan. Two events further complicate the situation. First, a troubling revelation about Sofia’s behavior off-camera — her fiercest rival may not be playing entirely fair. Second, Mario’s growing discomfort: his childish reactions and thinly veiled jealousy begin to wear on Laura, especially in the face of her professional obligations and the increasing closeness between her and Vincenzo. Now, Laura must make a second crucial choice — one that will define the direction of her story from here on out.
From Episode 6 onwards, the story branches out.
There are now four possible routes — each shaped by Laura’s two key decisions. Did she accept the real kisses during filming? Did she push back against Mario’s growing discomfort over her closeness with Vincenzo? Four combinations. Four routes. Four stories — and four very different outcomes.
Laura Volonto is the youngest of a family that arrived in Puglia when she was 16. She had two brothers who died in rough situations in Naples, where her family is from. Did this family have to flee? Either way, after she finished school, Laura had to help her parents, who had become traveling clothes sellers in the Bria markets. That's where she met Mario, a fruit and vegetable vendor with her father. At first, Mario, who was 10 years her senior, was just admiring her from afar. He was hoping to get with this beauty, just like all the other guys in the area. After Mario's dad passed away, he couldn't go on alone. Laura offered to help him out until he could find a solution. But she ended up being the go-to solution. Mario and Laura hit it off, and business was going great. They fell in love and got together, even though Laura's parents weren't thrilled. But Laura didn't care! It was hard to understand how someone as gorgeous as Laura could be attracted to a guy like Mario, even with all his good qualities. Only she knew. Some people were quick to point out that it was Laura who seemed to run the business. She really had a knack for business and knew how to use her charm whenever and with whoever she had to. She was probably just independent and ambitious, and she saw in Mario and his business the chance to get her foot in the door.
Mario
When he first saw Laura, Mario was already 28 and she 18. He worked alone with his recently widowed father. His mother had died 10 years earlier, at the age of 40, of a particularly aggressive and poorly treated form of breast cancer. An old-boy type, Mario wasn't exactly a born flirt! It's not that Laura didn't fancy him, it's just that he had less time than the others and didn't believe for a second in his chances of seducing her. When her father died suddenly, however, she spontaneously offered to help him while he got back on his feet. Little by little, they grew closer, eventually forming the unlikely couple no one had expected. Mario was proud to have won her over in front of all the local seducers! Mario's a nice guy, not stupid and hard-working. Mario's a nice guy, not stupid and hard-working. Neither handsome nor ugly. However, the age difference between him and Laura is noticeable, and even more so as the years go by... In the eight years they've been together, he's never had to doubt her fidelity. At least, he hasn't seen anything, and nothing has ever aroused his suspicion. Anyway, he's not jealous by nature. The only thing that annoyed her at one point was the stir caused in her by a young successful actor-singer. He put it down to youth. He got over it!
Gloria
A career of supporting roles and film extras. Models for advertising brochures, but never at the top! TV commercials, but at best at national level. RAI weather presenter... She married a cook, her childhood sweetheart, at a very young age, and spent the rest of her life cheating on him. She had the opportunity: she was often away, while he was stuck in his restaurant in Bria. And then, he never knew, and she never left him for another: you never know what tomorrow will bring! Physically, she always took care of herself, her appearance, her body. And in that respect, there's no denying that she's a success! Financially, she lacks nothing. With no children of her own, she sees no point in keeping a building that's too big for her and too expensive to maintain. So she sells it, as a life annuity. When she met Laura and heard about the project, she naturally took an interest and believed in her chances of winning. Perhaps she secretly hopes to be part of the adventure. In any case, she'll be sure to offer her services and advice to Laura.
Vincenzo
Vincenzo was born 28 years ago in Naples to a wealthy family. His father, whose business seemed, shall we say, Neapolitan, always preferred his older brother to him. At the age of 22, just as he was finishing his graphic design studies in Rome, fame came looking for Vincenzo. He was cast as a supporting character in a series for teenagers when letters from female viewers brought him to the attention of the production. The script was quickly changed to put him in the spotlight and all hell broke loose. Series success, first songs, concerts, tours. At 24, he was rich and famous. Two years later he found himself in court, having to defend himself against false accusations of domestic violence. He was acquitted after a year-long trial, but the tabloids had made a big deal of his downfall and his acquittal went unnoticed. He made the wise decision to forget about it and calmly prepare for his comeback. This was made possible by the support of Silvio, the boss of Canale 6, who knew how to make people forget his troubles with the law...
Lucia
Lucia just celebrated her 18th birthday and painstakingly finished high school. School wasn't really her thing! Since she'd rather start working right away than chase after a hypothetical degree, her great aunt Gloria thinks of “placing” her with Laura and Mario. And it works! She's good at sales, she's outgoing, she's talkative, and she's quick-witted. She's a hit at the street markets! Mario, in particular, gets along well with her, even if it means giving Laura more “freedom”...
Rodolfo
When he was 14, Rodolfo's mother left home to live with a man from Naples, leaving him alone with his father (he is an only child). They coped together and ended up doing well as a pair. As his father was often at work, Rodolfo was given a lot of freedom from an early age. This was helped by the fact that he was doing well at school. He quickly realized that he had been blessed by nature and that he was the object of attention of many girls and women. He then began a series of adventures and conquests with women, which quickly earned him a reputation as a ladies' man. After a year working in a company, he was fired, much to the chagrin of the boss's wife, according to gossip! He was therefore looking for a job when he sold his old scooter to Laura. As she lived outside the city with Mario and didn't go out much, he hadn't yet had the opportunity to meet her. But after seeing her on TV and up close, she became a serious temptation. Depending on the route taken, his attempts at seduction will be different. Will they be successful?
Lorenzo
If you are primarily seeking material comfort, what could be better than the son of a banker?
Manuela & Cinzia
Men are fine. Sometimes... But sometimes not. And for some women, not at all, ever. This is the case for Manuela, the producer at Canale 6, and Cinzia, the director.
Gloria reveals to Laura that she managed to get Rodolfo hired as a model for the Benitto catalog. He’ll therefore be accompanying her to Capri in a few weeks. Rodolfo and Lucia have also just been hired as a second team to take over the street markets.
While accompanying him to meet Octavio, the photographer and artist, Laura learns a bit more about Rodolfo. Their conversations and shared projects bring them closer together, and the charm starts to work—especially since Rodolfo knows how to play it cool despite his young age.
Little by little, Laura feels increasingly drawn to him, especially as she still can’t shake a certain resentment toward Mario’s past behavior. If a new opportunity presents itself, she feels she won’t hesitate to seize it—with or without Mario’s approval—even if it means giving in a little to the charm of Rodolfo, on the romantic island of Capri.
But for now, it's time for the traditional San Antonella festivities to begin in the town where Mario and Laura now live. On the eve of the weekend, they go for a drink at their usual bar with friends. Rodolfo joins them there, and before long, he and Laura find themselves chatting alone, while Mario doesn't seem to notice...
This is the story of Laura. A beautiful 26 year old Italian woman in a relationship with Mario. She knows what she wants and acts accordingly. Her next step in life is to buy a house in her home town and open her own shop. But money doesn't grow on trees. Especially in this rather poor part of the country. It's her partner, Mario, who will push her into an adventure that will take her to a world she doesn't know. A world unlike her own, where money seems easier to come by, especially if you're young and beautiful...

Anita Parker (Colonel Parker's grand-daughter?) is 28 years old. She works in the music industry, promoting new talent with her fiancé. She's a incendiary blonde bombshell who turns heads. But even if being a beautiful woman certainly helps, it's not enough!
After two consecutive failures, she and her boyfriend have no room for error. So they tried to convince successful producers to show some interest in their female singer Oshun. One of them is a notorious seducer with a reputation as a lady-killer. Anita has caught his eye and he has agreed to attend one of Oshun's showcases... But who's is he the most interest in?
As the young artist is not the easy type, it's Anita's fiancé who makes sure she doesn't screw things up, leaving his pretty girlfriend with a highly skilled woman focused predator.
How will he behave? And how will Anita deal with him?
Can Tim Hanson get the lady-killer who stole his girlfriend to seduce his mother and make his hated father the cuckold he deserves to be?
Tim Hanson is a 20-year-old journalism student in his second year at university. The previous year was a turbulent one, as he suffered a painful break-up: his girlfriend, Kathrin, was stolen from him by Ashton, a handsome guy who life has spoiled in every way. This episode led to a depression/revolt against life that cost him his year. This failure was rather badly perceived by his arsehole of a father, who not only showed no understanding, indulgence or empathy, but mocked his misfortune.
He also blames his mother for her neutrality in the conflict between him and his father. She has never dared to contradict or oppose him, and this idiotic trophy wife attitude has depleted whatever respect and affection Tim still had for her.
During the school holidays, Tim got back on track. He decided to forget about Kathrin, who in the meantime had been dumped by Ashton, and concentrate on three goals: to pass his school year with flying colours, to earn a bit of money by working as a student in the spare time left to him by passing his classes, and above all, to let his father know what he himself had been through the previous year.
And so much the worse if this shitty family fell apart!
The very first game to be developed was called Foul Play. It was a rather ambitious first attempt, with many errors and inconsistencies. The kind of thing that irritates me!
So I left it aside to make something much less ambitious: It Could Be Worse. It's a very short story, with few characters and a fairly basic plot. Before I'd even finished it, I posted it on itch.io for feedback,, but a day or two later, I found it on F95ZONE with quite a few readers and some rather flattering comments. As the development still contained some errors and I was new to the business, I felt compelled to correct them in a hurry and try to publish them on F95. But these guys are quicker to feed their site with new features than to take into consideration the requests of the authors and developers on whose backs they've built their success. Anyway, no more polemics. Personally, I won't be publishing anything there.
Immediately afterwards, I started writing and developing Think Twice. I wanted (and still want) to turn this story into an in camera story set on a yacht, where three characters go head to head to get their hands on a large hoard of money laundered by offshore companies. The story must be preceded by three episodes in which each of the protagonists is introduced: James, the London financier who laundered the money, Eva, an ex-Olympic champion whose life has made her an opportunist, and Orlando, a young Cuban who took part in the bank robbery in which James channeled the money. Unfortunately for me, many readers didn't understand the general plot, probably because I didn't explain it well. Above all, they don't understand why each protagonist's story isn't "open-ended"; it just serves 1° to introduce the characters and, 2° to shape their character before the main story: the final huis-clos.I have no answer for that. I'll be forced to continue to the end. I'm almost there! James and Eva's episodes are finished, and Orlando's is almost. The real story can begin!
In the meantime, quite a few patrons on Patreon have asked for a sequel to It Could Be Worse. So I had to rack my brains to come up with a sequel to a story that wasn't supposed to have one. That's what I'm doing now.
This task was interrupted by my annoyance at Patreon's injunction to send them my photo so that I could continue to be paid for my "adult" content. Supposedly, they had to be able to identify me as an adult! What's next, you jerks! My photo from the front and in profile so they could put me on file? For years I've had a credit card linked to a bank account that knows me perfectly well. What kind of stupid request is that? A French quote says: "Les cons, ça ose tout; c'est même à cela qu'on les reconnait." (M. Audiard). So there goes Patreon. That's why we're here!
While developing the site we're on, I felt the need to take my mind off things. That's why I started the Inoculation synopsis and a few scenes, followed by Debbie very short story, very, very loosely based on a short story I read on Literotica.com called "Seduction of Debbie", by an author called Day Dreaming. The story is so far far from the original that I don't even know if I should credit the author. If he sues me, I'll think about it.
What kind of games to expect?
The general philosophy on eHellJay is trying to produce stories that meet the criteria described below.
Credible enough
We don't want notorious implausibilities or silly plot twists. This doesn't mean that the stories totally reflect reality, but that they could at least happen as described. Of course, Sci-Fi is not included.
Reasonably long
Not that we're premature ejaculators, but waiting 2 years to see a first sex scene is a bit too much for us. Slow burns at this point piss us off! So, yes, sometimes we see sex pretty quickly. But so what? If you don't like it, look elsewhere. That's the way it's going to be!
About NTR, corruption and cheating.
All discussions are too complicated when it comes to NTR and its subtle nuances. Let's make it simple: for us, NTR means that a partner wishes, encourages or knowingly undergoes the corruption of his or her partner without resistance, to the point of risking losing him or her (netorase). In our games, this will rarely happen. The only case at present is that of James in "Think Twice", who realises that his wife is letting the employee hit on her, knows that there is a risk, but who, in order to guarantee the success of his business, prefers to risk his marriage. And even then, there is the possibility of avoiding cuckoldry (but not divorce). We have started a topic in the forum of this site, for those who are interested.
Corruption, on the other hand, is commonplace. We refer you to a very good description in this discussion on F95ZONE by TheHighSpire, which sets out 4 clear criteria/rules on the subject.
As for cheating, it's omnipresent, whether at the heart of the story or in the context in which it takes place.
A short erotic game that goes straight to the point... if you make the right choices! To be too much self-confident is worth nothing, because the wheel can turn. Neither is tempting the devil, because this bastard often plays bad tricks. And above all, never bet what you might regret! But that's what Natasha's future husband did. And now it's up to her to avoid trouble. But will she really want to, facing such a handsome devil?
CURRENT PROJECT LATEST RELEASE: 2.4.3a on 11.06.2023
Every year, Alset Inc.'s top salesperson wins a two-week all-inclusive trip to a luxury resort, and this year Fabio Cuckingham was sure to win the trip to the Keys! And with good reason: one month before the year ended and the company closed for the vacations, he was more than $300,000 ahead in sales, and no one had ever sold that much in four weeks.
He's already savoring his revenge: last year, he finished second behind Thomas, but this year, he's well and truly in the lead!
This Thomas is Thomas Hamilton, an interior designer, like Fabio, and as brilliant as he is. He is also the son of Senator Hamilton, which makes Fabio think that he is helped by his father's connections. Fabio regularly teases him about this... Thomas is also (or even more so) known for being a handsome man who turns women's heads, and many of his clients are women! This did not prevent him from being dumped a month earlier by his girlfriend.
It is in this context, while Fabio is bragging and already celebrating his victory, that a $362k contract, previously refused, falls from the nowhere for Thomas, allowing him to beat Fabio on the line!
Thomas, irritated and always on edge, decides to teach this braggart a lesson. He throws him a daring bet involving Natasha, Fabio's long-time fiancée. The stake: a trip to the Keys for Natasha. But with whom? Fabio or... Thomas? As stupid as presumptuous, and not wanting to lose face, Fabio bets!
You'll play as Natasha and you'll join the protagonists of this story during the traditional office party, one week before the vacations...
How does that sound?

Characters (main)
Natasha
The main character. She is a pretty, slender and athletic woman. She's hard-headed. For her, the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Having a child has always been in her life project. Having one with Fabio seems obvious, but she is in a phase of slight final questioning.
Childhood - Education
Natasha was born in a provincial town 30 years ago. His father is a doctor and his mother writes children's books. She has a little sister, 4 years younger. She went through high school, but became an excellent student once she got to college where she studied physical therapy.
Love life
She has been dating Fabio, her childhood friend, two years older, since high school. Both of their parents are friends. In high school, she almost fell for Julian, Fabio's stalker and all-around stud. She found Julian attractive, but didn't want to be dumped like a piece of shit once "consummated". So she resisted! A disappointment for Julian, but the pride of Fabio, for once "winner". Since then, she has also resisted all attempts of seduction. She is often approached by men but remains faithful to Fabio. There is only one colleague of Fabio who has made an impression on her since they moved to Cleptown: Thomas; but she has had very little contact with him.
Active life
Fabio and Julian left high school the same year. Julian was lost to her. When she graduated, she was hired at the city hospital of Cleptown, where Fabio was already working. They moved into an apartment and saved up to buy a house. They have been living together for 7 years. There was never any question of marriage, as long as having children was not on the agenda.
Relationship with Fabio
Fabio has always been her best friend. And her boyfriend since high school. She loves him, for his kindness, his will, his perseverance, the attention he has always had for her. She always thought he would be a very good husband. Of course, he has his faults, but who doesn't? However, as time goes by, everything gets a little blunted, and people change. Fabio of course, who is a little less caring, and who has become more venal and pushy. His career as to count more than anything! Natasha doesn't like this too much, nor the way he has taken his two second places behind a colleague in terms of sales figures.
Fabio
Fabio is the perfect example of the type neither beautiful, nor ugly. He's the kind you see most... He is not stupid at all and has a generally affable character. On the other hand, he is envious and above all, a careerist who sometimes tends to put himself forward.
Childhood - Education
Fabio was born in the same provincial town as Natasha, 32 years ago. After high school, he started studying economics, imposed by his father, but failed twice. He then succeeded graduating in what he really wanted: interior designer.
Love life
He has only ever known Natasha, his childhood friend since high school. It was their parents who decided on their relationship, but he was fine with it. He was bullied by Julian, a stalker who was hitting on Natasha in high school, but she resisted! A pride of Fabio, for once a "winner". Fabio is not a flirt. He doesn't have much charisma, but he has always been a kind and caring companion for Natasha, with whom he has always been very much in love. With time the routine has settled a little in the couple, but not to the point of destabilizing him. He is not naturally jealous, the episode of the stalker rejected in high school reassured him of Natasha's loyalty.
Active life
Fabio and Julian left high school the same year and Julian disappeared since then. When he finished school, he worked for a company in his town. When Natasha finished her studies, he was hired by Alset Inc. He is a very good technical salesman and an excellent negotiator. His boss, Noel Skum, likes him. Apart from his co-workers and some of Natasha's acquaintances, he does not have a very active social life. His main hobby, apart from golf which he plays regularly, is gambling. Not to the point of being sickly, but he has a famous penchant for betting and gambling.
Relationship with Natasha
She has always been his only female friend. It's like he's not interested in other women. And she's been his girlfriend since high school. He probably loves her very much but his being demonstrative suits Natasha very well. He has obviously never considered anyone else as a girlfriend and considers her to be a permanent part of his life.
Thomas
He is the handsome man of Alset Inc. Sportsman and graduate of university, he is with Fabio the best salesman of the company. He no longer tries to take advantage of his good looks, except perhaps to get contracts when the client is a woman. He had a rather tidy and classic life plan despite the fact that he comes from a rather rich and influential family.
Childhood - Education
He is the eldest son of a former US Navy pilot, now Florida Democratic Senator, Douglas Hamilton. He has a sister and a brother. He first lived in Key West, while the father was still pilot, then in Miami, until the end of his studies. He graduated in architecture after a somewhat tumultuous school career. He has always been an avid sailor, like his father and sister. They often sailed the Keys together from the house the family still owns near Key West.
Love life
He collected conquests during his teenage years, but calmed down when he met Jessica Hataway in college. He fell in love with her and had eyes only for her. He followed her to the West Coast where they settled down and lived together for 4 years. But Jessica's jealousy quickly proved to be very difficult to live with. Thomas tried to reassure her, but she ended up breaking up with him.
Active life
As soon as he finished his studies, knowing that Thomas was going to move to the West Coast, his father used his connections to help him find a job quickly. Even though he didn't ask for help, Thomas met Noel Skum, the boss of Alset Inc., who had a temporary position as architect. At the end of his contract, Noel Skum offered him another contract as a technical salesman, which Thomas accepted. Away from his hometown, apart from his co-workers, Thomas' acquaintances were mostly those of Jessica. With the breakup, the numbers got a little smaller. Despite the practice of several sports, his main hobby remained sailing.
Relations with Natasha
At the beginning and while he was in couple with Jessica, Thomas never tried anything with Natasha. He found her very pretty, but respected her relationship with Fabio. He was not the kind of man to chase after every woman. Two reasons made him change: his new single status, and above all, Fabio's jerk behavior. While he hadn't been looking to meet Natasha in the city until then, after his breakup and the bet, he got caught up in the game and probably felt a little more attracted. Especially since Natasha remained simple, friendly and accessible. At the company's end-of-year party, things got a little heated.
Julian
Julian Strafford was Fabio's bully for the last year of high school. Mainly because he wanted to add Natasha to his list of female conquests and couldn't stand that she resisted him, but was dating Fabio. His buddies teased him about it, which made him lose face. He found no other way but to blackmail Natasha by harassing Fabio and ridiculing him at any chance he got. As Fabio began to suffer seriously, Natasha finally agreed to a secret meeting with Julian so he would leave Fabio alone. Julian took her to a concert and party that night. What happened there? Only Natasha and Julian know. But Julian never bothered Fabio again...
Ten years later, Natasha and Fabio find him in the seaside resort. He is single and obviously as womanizing as before. Obviously, Fabio does not see his reunion of a very good eye, and even if he ignores everything of the evening between Natasha and Julian, the prospect to see this handsome man turning around his girlfriend does not please him at all. He has enough with Thomas... Fabio is going to learn what the expression "from Charybdis to Scylla" means.
History and notes
Released in January 2022 on ITCH.IO, this game was intended to be a trial run. However, it was copied and published on F95ZONE where it was relatively successful. As the guys from F95 are quicker to copy new files without asking for permission (you're either courteous or you're not) than to update them when asked, the relationship went downhill very quickly. The latest version that has been released on F95 was 1.1.0.
In the meantime, the patrons asked that a sequel be considered and this was done after putting the other game (Think Twice) on hold. The plot had to be adapted and revised to be consistent with the beginning. This was not really easy, since the first version was supposed to be a complete story.
Nevertheless, a version 2 was started, with the context of the stay in the Florida Keys. In order to broaden the perspectives of the story, two additional protagonists were added, allowing the main character, and thus the player, to make choices and allow for several possible routes and endings. There are currently four routes corresponding to three suitors in addition to the boyfriend, each revealing a different aspect of the MC's personality.
