This is the first I've heard of a problem like that. It sounds almost like something removed your administrator privileges on your PC.
If I were you I would check to see if you have lost any other privileges regarding your windows security. Aside from that I can only think of doing all the basic security steps to find what caused the problem. (ESPECIALLY if it's ONLY my files that can't be deleted.)
If you need the files removed quickly there's also software that works well with removing files that can't typically be deleted but I have no idea what those would be.
game is cool, but very buggy, multiple times i try to interact with a door (i got equipment) or a item and game just does nothing. (one time the game fixed itself but most times not) its also sucks when i get a dialog prompt but before i can respond she interacts with a item and i lose out it. one spot that kept happening with me with the skeleton. i just gave up on it.
another spot i was interacting with a tight spot, trying to get her to keep going when shes too big. then the dialog just stops when i know she suppose to be say "i cant rip my suit" (was hoping for a new art image if i kept pushing her, i get the feeling there isn't one though)
also, the gallery is bugged for me, it only shows her as flat for all the modular images (the opposite of what i like)(and why not have the option to change her if the images are in the game already) i also got a flat image of her in a mission on the hard shrooms before i took the flat shrooms
nit picks aside. it was still cool. really want to play more
as you've said, the game is kind of overpriced right now. it ended just as it seemed like it was gonna ramp up and get interesting
can you give a rough guess to when the next big update is coming? like best guess how many months? i know it can be hard to say but just a guess would be nice
and honestly id rather have more content then bug fixes
I've got a fix coming for dialog prompts missed on some interactions and the next update will have sizes stored in the gallery as well. 👍
Currently I'm super close to progress report 2/3 (maybe another week.) Once I finish with that I'll be onto the art of the update (Hopefully less than a few weeks for that, but I'm still bad at predicting how long art takes.) Then 10 levels will be added in the next update!
After all that is said and done, there will be another 10 levels released with a slightly shorter timeframe (since some of the work is being frontloaded into this update.)
Damn, this game is pretty cool. The whole "expansion" ain't really for me, but the general premise is hella nice. Liking the interactions with the salvor.
I've been going back and forth for a while on what name she should have, but I think I've got one. Most likely I'll try to drop that in the next update. I got a big fix for all broken convos like the shop one as well. 👍 (Thanks for bearing with me!)
DANG this game's crazy slow. I think what makes it worse in that regard is that any time you go back to something you've done before, the game goes through the entire "uh I don't know how to dive" chat from scratch, or the "oh no my eyes are burning" chat (despite wearing a snorkel) and OH BOY does that whole talk with her about diving in salt water take a lot of time. The game in general doesn't seem to save "flags" as you go at all, going to the first level has her acting like a total noob. Every time you dive, she acts like it's the first time. Every time you pick the boob mushrooms, it's the whole convo again. Every time you finish the mission with the boob mushrooms, she emails you about her tits shrinking back down. All of this makes replaying missions to get everything a huge pain in the butt.
Also the game mentions increasing the chances of success on the first time you do something in an area, but it only buffed from 5% to 10% in the first area, and it's still 10% in the second dive spot, even after failing plenty of times (getting real sick of that talk about the salt water too). I'm like 10-20 tries in and I can't get that damn thing to work, I'm starting to think the second dive is bugged.
To make the slowness worse, the game pauses if you alt-tab out of it, so I can't even do other stuff while the game's going through the 20th attempt at diving (oh boy, I could RANT about RNG. RNGesus and me, we're not friends) or tabbing out while she's swimming.
That said, the game's got style at least. Cool game, even if I don't want to play it anymore.
Fair enough, there will be a few speed ups in the next update regarding replayability.
For the sake of people who want to try some of the branching conversation paths these levels will have the same conversations regardless of progress in the game. BUT for the sake of people that would like to replay missions for treasure or for getting all the scenes, I will have the future levels be much more friendly with replayability due to her not needing those full conversations for each interaction anymore.
Also the after mission emails will now have a one-time limit so hopefully no one will run into that problem in the future update.
I'll check diving percentages and overall chances as well, there might be a bug because the starting dive chance is 0%.
I hear you on the alt+tab pausing the game problem too. For certain porn game reasons I'll be keeping it as a default option BUT in the future update I'll put a toggle button in the options menu to disable that.
Thanks for your feedback and I'm glad you like the style at least! 🙏
Heya! This was really enjoyable to go through, there's so much potential here for some good stuff and I'm excited to see what you add in next.
The world/character building is great too, it was nice to see how the salvor and the dispatcher interact over the missions. On that note, would there be any H-scenes between the salvor and the dispatcher? Or just the salvor and the monsters/entities inside the areas she scavenges?
Either way, I can't wait to see what else you implement into the game!
Awesome! One other thing, would you be able to purchase/give the salvor items like the mushrooms actually before the mission so her appearance would be changed for the entirety of the dive, or only have access to them within the mission themselves?
Currently there will only be access to the size changers in the missions themselves in order to control the amount of variation art I would have to do, BUT that could definitely be one of the future updates after v1.0
Got it, completely understandable ^^ Again, excited to see what you've got in store for this, hope development goes smoothly and can continue to support this project <3
You got a lot of "horror of the deep" vibes without a lot of horror of the deep. This game is missing monsters. The salvor has to constantly having to be stealthing around to avoid getting raped by fishmen, zombies, mindflayers, octopi, giant fish, whatever. Maybe have a ticking clock element where the longer you're there, the more bad things come out.
I feel like the tiddy and ass expansion are wasted here. Throw in some monsters with variable scenes depending on what her size is. Hell, I think you should throw in hostile Salvors that will capture her if you don't play smart. Then you gotta ransom to get her back, maybe get some scenes if you take too long.
Something, brother. Conceptually, this game is dope. But you gotta put more into it. If it's just "Ah, but look look! Her tiddies are big. Isn't that inconveniant and sexy?" then it just ain't worth a play. But it could be. Hear me out on them ideas. Look forward to seeing what this shapes out to be.
Hey thanks for the suggestions, and good news! Many people in the discord echo your sentiment on how the horror(H)/porn(P)/mechanics(M) should be handled. I'm currently working on a few of those things right now so they'll be releasing in the next version.
Unfortunately not all of them though, in terms of the game's total available contents (about 30%) there can't be much H and P at such a shallow depth, BUT the next update (v0.6) will be introducing most of the M and a small amount of H elements. Then the final update (v1.0) will have the most H elements as they begin to tie with the story.
Lastly, many people agree with you about wasted potential, myself included (I've been compiling a list of ideas since before early access) and I'm not sure how to say this without bringing up financials. So I'll be real with you too and say: 1. Everything in the game's roadmap up to v1.0 is "set in stone". 2. All the ideas planned to be implemented aren't even half of the ideas on the list. 3. Currently I can't afford to implement everything.
Lastly, I should say 1.0 is by no means the end. The potential is only wasted when I remove it from the list, essentially v1.1 can just as easily be a level pack with new mechanics. But to figure out whether or not this game can stand on its own I'll need it to be released and performing while I'm supporting my other projects. Frankly, as you've said, during this period (and maybe after) it might not be worth the play.
Sorry for the long-winded response, I tried to cut out as many paragraphs as possible. I appreciate your passion for the project, and I'll certainly add the new ideas to the list.
Bro, you're pretty fucking cool. I'm glad you took the the time to read my post and that you got real aspirations for this. I thought your first game was pretty neat and also had a lot of potential. This one could be one of the greats with some elbow grease.
I look forward to what you're gonna put out. Normally I'm the kind of person who pirates porn games but the aesthetics of this one were so interesting I actually shelled out a couple to see what the EA was like.
You've got me hyped up now to see what all you got cooking for this one, brother. Good luck.
Hey well thanks for purchasing a copy! I appreciate it. 🙏 (Definitely more coming for CDares as well. I think at that size the game is a little overpriced.)
I have a couple of plans to fix the slow movement in the next update. 👍
The few actions will be a difficult problem though. Currently I'm avoiding too much repetition for actions. But I'm hoping the next version's larger variety of actions will fix this problem as well.
This is a very nice game! The atmosphere of the game and the illustrations of the event scenes are all wonderful.
I have a question about future additions to this game.
1: I didn't see it mentioned in the tag, but will there be any additional elements related to belly expansion, pregnancy, obesity, etc., chest expansion, etc.?
2: Also, will further stages be added to state changes such as breast expansion?
I apologize for the length of this article.I will look forward to future updates.
this game is really good, like genuinely. sexually its not my jam, though its undeniably still really hot, but damn this is competent and frankly even calming! the sound design is really nice too, the GUI is a great vibe... ill be keeping my eye on this game!
(cant forget the S-Tier waifu, either! i love her so much)
i got to the point where it said levels would get more dangerous, and then no new levels showed up. is this because of a bug or because they haven't been implemented yet?

Thank you! Glad you like the salvor interactions so far! Working on a deeper exploration of gameplay mechanics and conversations as well. 👍
What would happens if there was an easter egg related to brain rot in the game?
Oooo interesting idea, as long as it's a small one, possibly!
Best 5$ I've Spent. Does she have a name or something? I just keep calling her Angel Cake because of the broke convo with Tish
Thank you for your support!
I've been going back and forth for a while on what name she should have, but I think I've got one. Most likely I'll try to drop that in the next update. I got a big fix for all broken convos like the shop one as well. 👍 (Thanks for bearing with me!)
Broke as in I had no money to pay for Angel Cake's meals and had to bum off of Tish

Certainly! There will be at least one ending H-scene dedicated to those two.
And thank you, many new mechanics and scenes will be in the next update. 👍

Too slow movement, very few action...

Hello, thank you for your comment! I'm glad you enjoy the game. 😊
1. There will be some belly expansion events.
2. There will be more larger breast expansion sizes as well.
If you have any more questions feel free to ask me. 👍
Thank you for your answer!
I am very much looking forward to the update and release of the game!
this game is really good, like genuinely. sexually its not my jam, though its undeniably still really hot, but damn this is competent and frankly even calming! the sound design is really nice too, the GUI is a great vibe... ill be keeping my eye on this game!
(cant forget the S-Tier waifu, either! i love her so much)
Thank you, glad you're liking it!
Hope to do much more character building with the salvor as well! 👍
just a reminder, the good people at the f95 BE thread are keeping a close eye on this.
please more BE!
Definitely more BE coming 😁👍
i got to the point where it said levels would get more dangerous, and then no new levels showed up. is this because of a bug or because they haven't been implemented yet?
There are currently only 7 levels in early access.
In the next update I'll be adding in a level counter in the home area in order to keep track of the total levels completed. 👍
