Do Not Love - Violators Will Be Shot [DEMO]

Woah. Can't wait for continuation

I've finally got around to playing the demo (been following the project since I first saw its WiP thread, but didn't find time to finally play it when it released) and I must say, wow.... I was officially sucked in, from the prologue, to diving into the story. A horrible, cold world with a vicious disease that would cause the outlawing of skin contact and the utter mental and physical consequences it causes, and the desperation for intimacy you'd pay money simply to.... hold hands, or even hug!

I really enjoyed looking at each sneak peak of a route. The characters were all very interesting, and I love the muted colors which really shows how numb and sad the world has become. The desperation of the characters, from fear of contracting Mother to simply needing to be warm and wanting to feel loved... how those two feelings conflicted... just wow, this is so well written and I am curious where some of the direction of the story would go! I also really love how the story is based in the Philippines ^^

Now I know there hasn't been news on this project in awhile, but anyone reading this, I still think even as a demo this game would be worth your time. The death endings are intense, and the good (pseudo) endings, whilst open-ended being a demo, still feel quite satisfying. And if the devs ever decide to pick up producing the game again, know you definitely have a fan eagerly awaiting to play the full version ^^

Is this game discontinued?

This game is really cool. I'd love to play the full version! 
Although I have to say I'm a bit bummed out because I can't play the bonus scene ;_; There seems to be an exception while running game code, I don't know if it's a fault on my side orr... 

Firstly, thanks a whole bunch to the devs for reaching out to me and pointing me in the direction of their game! I'm always happy (and honoured) to be asked!

Now then, onto the game itself. Interactive stories like this one can be a real challenge to pull off, but this one does a cracking job of it by using some great little tactics.

The first one is the subtle use of music cues and sound effects. When you're not relying on action and movement in a game, the soundtrack needs to be really on point, and Do Not Love has a great little soundtrack interlaced with some also great sounds!

Secondly the story is riveting, and the choices we have to make as the game progresses are all really tough ones. Agonizing ones! Life defining ones for our character and the people around him. This really makes you invested in who you play as, who you interact with and the world around you.

Really, it's a top notch job with likable characters (even the protagonist!), a great plot and a whole raft of different endings to discover by choosing different paths! Only one ending for me so far but I'm going to dig around for more for sure and I encourage you all to do so too.

As for the devs, keep up the awesome work! I really enjoyed this =)

Thanks for telling me about DNL... there's definitely need of some human touch in Neo-Manila. Love will prevail! :)

I found a good end! However, I'm not a maid. EVER.
