I really wanted to get this version out in time for Christmas. Explore everything you can!

It tracks completion % now thanks to the coding wizardry and dedication of fapnip. I want to give a prize to the dedicated player who gets the highest %. Anything above 50% is quite impressive!

I have nearly doubled the number of photos in TOTS. The changelog was multiple pages so get surprised.

Please let me know how I can make it better. I have not been shy in aiming for the #1 tease spot and would love to hear ideas for improvement.

Please report any bugs you find or things you think could be better.

Also let me know if you want to join the Succubeta! It is a great way to see the latest content and speed up my development by giving suggestions and finding bugs.

We currently have:
Vaol
Gurgl
Trustfrated
superbob9001
BobbyS
and unofficially fapnip

*I broke the savestates yesterday but they are back up and running - enjoy.*
Please be critical as you can, I need more of that type of constructive feedback.

Man, you, and everyone involved on this project as tester and/or coding helper, have created a true masterpiece, that is becoming better and better on every new iteration. Still I was not able not to fall to temptation, and succumb to them in the story, but I have not much more to say, but a big thank you!

I can't recall ever spending this much time playing a tease in all my years of being on this site. There are just so many paths to choose from, and I keep finding more! The completion tracker motivates me to keep increasing the percentage of scenes I see.

The changes from 1.3 to 1.7 are extensive. My favorite thing about this update has to be the addition of the character of Lana. Literal game changer! The animations and other contributions by fapnip are nothing short of revolutionary.

Criticisms? It's difficult because I enjoy it so much. I suppose the biggest criticism might be a couple of the model choices, but that's very subjective and my two least favorite might be someone else's favorite. And in a story as deep and wide as this with so many scenes, switching out a picture set where something very specific happens is not a trivial thing.

I do wish that maybe the personalities of the characters were a little more fleshed out or distinct. They all have the same goal of teasing you as a way to get what they want, but are they friends working together or are they competing against each other? I still wish one of the girls was the opposite of the others with a more evil, humiliating side to her. I don't think it would be hard for her to get leverage against you and force you to do things you don't necessarily want to do.

I'm a big fan of the option in some scenes for censored images, especially when used with the virgin's story. I think this aspect could be used in additional scenes or for different reasons.

Knowing there is still likely more to come, I'm interested in a little more substance to the fiance''s side of the story.
Spoiler: show
It would be nice to see her before the epilogue, even if it's only a few images so you know who you're trying to be faithful for (or not). The text messages are a great step in this direction.
Can't wait to see what's coming next! :w00t:

Thank you, hearing people call it a masterpiece while several (accounts at least) are 1 star rating it helps me push on. If you didn't fall to anyone make sure you play again and again, it is different every time and your fall would be eventually assured. I so appreciate you taking the time to let me know!

I too can't recall very many projects in my life I have put this much time into as well.

I was curious what everyone thought about Lana, please let me know!

The main 4 are friends both working together and competition against each other. I agree I need to make them more distinct from one another, Anissa will be first on that end.

I too am interested in doing exactly that within the next few months.

Keep the feedback/criticisms coming everyone! There is tons I want to discuss and know how you all feel about certain directions.

I love this tease and have played it multiple times. I agree with calling it a masterpiece. I do think the girls are different enough, but I'd be interested in seeing how you could differentiate them more. The only thing I really want is an easer way to skip ahead. I've replayed it so many times that I have practically memorized the earlier scenes which are, because of necessity, not as varied as the later scenes where the holiday matters more.

That's great to hear! (And congrats on the first post! these mean a lot to me)

Regarding skipping ahead, I thought I added that skip feature when you load a save, please let me know if that isn't functioning because that could be a big bug. It should be listed after
"Looks like you have a saved game.
Would you like to continue where your soul left off?"
Then you select the option of:
"Actually, can I start over but later in the day?"

I put it here because I didn't want people to skip ahead on their first play but I could probably find a better place for it.

This works for me. It's just a little awkward to use but also good that it's somewhat hidden. And yes, ideally it shouldn't be used until you've played through from the beginning a few times at least. I would love it if the concept could be taken further by having a "custom start" section where the player could choose from several more entrance points, as well as set relevant variables. (I.e. Does the player have this object? Did they do this earlier? etc.) But it would be a shame if people had the story spoiled for them that way. Low priority, however it would be nice someday. :whistle:

I can't agree more that this is a "masterpiece". I really think the succubi have put a spell on me. I'm now forced to keep playing until i've seen all there is to see. I can't believe that i'm just now finding out that this is even a thing. Anyway thanks for the hard work. Not many folks out there doing anything as selfless as this anymore and even when they are getting paid the quality is usually not even half of what you're putting out here.

This is incredibly high praise, thank you. I did have plans to set up a patreon but with the time that I am putting in, there is no way I could make enough to continue making new teases.

I will be honestly shocked if anyone hits 80% completion but again, the person who gets the highest gets an award. (a scene of their own if possible/reasonable)

This tease is incredible. I have a hard time resisting the succubi... but I think it's working as intended :-P

Personally I really like the parts where your addiction forces you to stay/continue. I like feeling the succubus forcing me to lose :blush:

When I played the first version, I thought that it was one of the best teases I've ever seen. The second update was already a masterpiece. This third version is simply incredible, and I don't think it will be topped for a long time, if ever. I don't have a lot of feedback, but I had to make an account in order to post this message. Truly impressive what you've accomplished. All I need now is the Prima strategy guide so I can uncover every single possible branch. I've probably played the tease about a dozen times (most before I had this account and the new progress checker you've implemented) and I know there are still things I haven't seen.

I do have one bit of feedback / question:
Spoiler: show
When dealing with Lana, one of the options is to have her call your fiance and get permission to help you. That never seems to go anywhere. Lana's story-line seems to end somewhat abruptly no matter what, regardless of how you treat her there doesn't seem to be an end-game with her. Is there more to come on that front?
Thank you for this incredible piece of work. Honestly, it's not even about the smut anymore.. I just want to explore the story an all of its branches. Adding in the "Easy Mode" was really helpful in that regard!

Wonderfully high praise, I appreciate you making an account to let me know! I thought about putting a strat guide together but I kept having to adjust it constantly and it was slowing down my actual development. Just know my inbox is open to any questions or discussions for any "paths" you might want to see or know about.

Spoiler: show
The call doesn't go anywhere content wise...yet but it still has minor impacts on the way you are treated. Nearly everything is still being built upon and while I still need to give a minor Lana wrap up when I finish the other endings - Just know that the actual Lana endings already exist and are some of the most extensive

Ahh... Interesting! Well I guess it looks like I have more exploring to do!

One of the best games out there, period! Gave you my feedback on Reddit, just wanted to say great work and thanks for the invite.

I think the updates are fantastic. I think the added character is really great and gives the player more options. It encourages players to be a little less conservative and still get a "good" ending. This is probably the best tease that I have played on the site. Really re-playable, great story and everything else. I have zero things to be critical of. I really like the game mechanics and the "push your luck" type of game that we have here. I think the hud is great and informative... The only thing is maybe having a status screen so you can see your addiction and lives while in the living room area. Save states work perfectly for me as intended.
