Hardenville » Devlog
We are thrilled to announce that Hardenville The Prologue is now available!
In this release, you can enjoy approximately 45 minutes of gameplay. But that's just the beginning! We have some exciting news - Episode 1 is set to launch late December or early January, and it will contain more than twice the content of the Prologue.
Your support means the world to us. Every contribution you make goes towards improving our work. Specifically, we plan to invest in an additional PC. One PC will be dedicated to rendering, while the other will be used for animations. With this upgrade, we aim to produce many new animations in Episode 1.

Hi, are the kinks/fetishes going to be avoidable (they don't happen in the story according to player choice) skippable (they happen in the story but the player doesn't see the scene) forced by plot?
For example, I see the tag lesbian, I have no interest in lesbianism, is that avoidable? And could I know who the lesbian would be to avoid her completely? (I hope it's not a relative of the Mc or roommate haha)
Thanks, good luck.
Hey,
Thank you for your question! In the Prologue, the only kink included is "watersport," and it's completely optional, allowing you to skip it if you prefer. We have exciting plans to introduce more kinks and fetishes with each upcoming release, and the next episode will offer additional options in this regard.
Initially, we didn't consider making lesbian content avoidable, but if it's a requested feature, we can easily incorporate a persistent option to exclude lesbian content or specific kinks altogether. Alternatively, we can provide an option just before any such content occurs for you to choose whether to skip it or not.
Regarding the characters' sexual orientation, we'd like to keep it a mystery for now. It's important to note that exploring all storylines and characters can lead to valuable experiences, and sometimes unexpected connections can turn into something quite rewarding.
The Prologue serves as a starting point for you to become familiar with some of the key characters in Season 1. We are fully committed to making necessary changes based on your feedback. While we have a roadmap for the season, we're open to adjustments based on the feedback we receive.
In the upcoming release, Episode 1, you can look forward to traditional elements such as exploration, engaging in conversations with characters, collecting items, earning rewards, and much more. This release is expected in late December or early January.
We value your input, so we'd love to hear what else you'd like to see added and any specific kinks you hope to experience.

Well I finished trying it, IMPO the renders and models look good, except for Mc he looks like a loser creep, and honestly no interest in the 2 sluts who have no problem sucking strangers' dick in the bathroom and it seems that they are also bicurious, there is no way to avoid that so The part that says "choice matters" is misleading.
The water sports option apparently only skips the scene but it happens in the story, right? EDIT: yes, this happens anyway since the dialogue later affirms it.
Leaving that aside and looking at your answer, what are the tags/content you have planned dev? ( With the number of characters and also that player can change the relationship between several characters, this looks like it could be a fuckfest or voyeur)
And regarding the last part, that means that the game is going to be Point and Click or Sandbox style?
In any case, I would like to know that since perhaps this game is not going to be to my liking and it is better to abandon ship before it sails haha.
Thanks.
Hey,
I agree that the "choice matters" in the Prologue can be somewhat misleading, and I will likely need to edit it to clarify what players can expect in this particular release, and not future releases.
Certainly, I can create some renders in the Prologue that include a persistent option for watersports, where Emma is not stung at all.
Hardenville will combine the styles used in SummerHeat and Summer's Gone (I really do love these games), but with a touch of Echoes of Lust. Meaning there won't be any grinding involved.
