Hello, wonderful people of Steamgifts!

I've been collecting keys for the last years, wondering when to turn them into giveaways.
Now that I'm working on a game of my own, this sounded to me like a great excuse to give out some games, ask for some feedback and maybe even a little help overcoming some release related challenges.

The game is called 'Is It Wrong To Try To Rescue Monster Girls From The Inquisition?' and, as you can probably tell from the title, it's a silly spoof/comedy anime game about rescuing monster girls in a fantasy world.

The original release date was going to be in May, but I'm still working out some kinks in the visual novel engine, so the actual release date is more realistically somewhere in the first half of June.

To address some potential questions about the game:

  • It's a visual novel with puzzles thrown in that tie into the story in a ridiculous way.
  • The scope is small. We're probably looking at around 2-3 hours of playtime. This is my first release and I'm working on everything by myself, so I'm doing my best not to feature-creep the living heck out of it.
  • The price is even smaller. I'm aiming for 2$. Also, it will most likely never be bundled because... (see point below)
  • It's not an asset-flip garbage-level cash-grab. Despite the on-the-nose theming, I'm giving it my best to make the game enjoyable.
  • It's not hentai or porn, though it has some ecchi elements and is based around popular anime and monster girl tropes.
  • I will consider giving some keys away later to people who show interest in playing the game.

Every other detail should be on the Steam page, but I'd be happy to address any question you might have here, so leave them below.

Most of all, if you have feedback regarding the Steam page I'd be even happier to take it into consideration. Whatever you think should improve, what other things you would expect from the game, etc.
Again, it's my first time doing... pretty much anything you're seeing on that page and will see in-game. So I'm certain there are lots of things to improve and I'm eager to improve them!

Steam page here!

Steam's algorithm for burying cheap low-effort games works better than ever for them, but it comes with disadvantages for people like me with basically 3 friends whom I could ask to wishlist and/or buy and review my game, which is why... I'm in dire need of some help.

My appreciation would be immeasurable if you could add my game to your wishlists! It might help if you did it even if you do not necessarily plan to purchase it on release.

Thank you so much!

Now... Put on your gym wear because it's time for some train-ing! (awful pun)
A total of 80 games, 7 of which are whitelist only, while the rest are levels 0 through 3.

To get on the train just remove the mistake from the link: https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/MQdmistake3U/

My current whitelist is relatively small and many people on there aren't active anymore, so I'll give you a chance to join and maybe grab one of the following games.
I selected some games that I like and some that have somewhat of a connection with my own game. So if you like any of these, we already have something in common, hurray!
Amnesia: Rebirth | Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night | Hiveswap Friendsim | Katana Zero | Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae | NOT FOR BROADCAST | Paradise Killer

If you want to join the whitelist just leave a comment mentioning you want to join and... I don't know, maybe tell me something about a favorite game of yours, so I can tell you're a real human and not an emotionless giveaway seeking missile.

These giveaways will run for about two weeks, so everyone should have a fair chance of entering and winning something. There should not be any region restricted nor activated keys as far as I am aware, but please allow for a degree of error. Most of these keys are pretty old.

Enjoy the games and best of luck, everyone!

But let's not forget that a thread is just a potato without a TL;DR, so here's one kept to a respectable number of words:

I make game.
Launch? Soon.
Feedback? Please.
Wishlist? Please.
Giveaways? Above.
Whitelist? Ask.
Hotel? Come on, this joke is too old now.

The title alone makes me want it. XD That is amazing.
I don't really have a favorite game exactly but I've always enjoyed the Smash series, Legend of Zelda series, etc. Lately I have been thinking about the original 4 .Hack// games on the Ps2. Games with an atmosphere that leaves an impression.

would like to join for Katana Zero :)
Favourite game of mine? The Secret of the Monkey Island if I would have to pick one out of all... From the more recent ones, there are many that I really liked Hollow Knight for example, or Horizon Zero Dawn. However, recently I'm more into soul-like games after I was astonished by Elden Ring, what a gaming experience it was! WOW!

Just for the name alone you got me interested.
Good way of taking full advantage of the IA art instead of using cheap CG that can be potentially worse by a mile and often looks terrible.
Just for curiosity, is it an 18+ title?

Haha, thanks. Art was always my weak point, so this new tech got me pretty excited to create stuff. Maybe a little too excited, 'cause I feel like I created too many characters and locations for a game this short and small in scope. Anyway, I'm really happy to hear you liked the idea!
It's not an 18+ title, no. It's just a bit 'ecchi', although I'm aware it looks very horny from a distance. =)
I don't know if you were looking to get into the WL, by the way, but feel free to browse those giveaways too if you're interested. :)
