Overview:
The premise: MC has been sleeping on his best friend Tony's couch for a while now.
After having been approached by an agent,
he'd left college to resume his writing and follow his passion,but so far it seems to be a fruitless chase.
Nothing he writes seems to please him,
and Tony is convinced this is due to his self-imposed isolation and prejudices against people.
He invites MC to engage in conversation with strangers at his bar and write about these encounters.

Initial Release
Upon releasing Chapter 1 of Strangers on Paper, we have collected some questions we’ve seen pop up in different places and thought we could answer them all in one post for your convenience.

  • What kind of sexual content are you planning to include in this game?
    Let’s get this out of the way first. SOP is not a story about sex. It is a story with sex, but it doesn’t set out to explore kinks specifically, so the content here will be on the tamer side. If you want us to get really specific about it, upon seeing DiPeppo include a set of tags that are planned and those that will not be in his game , we decided to do something similar and let people know from the get-go what they’re getting into. You can check them out .
  • But why isn’t this particular content that I like included in your game?
    We consider ourselves sex positive individuals and have nothing against other games depicting your preferences, we just didn’t feel that type of content fits the story we are telling here. If you’re having trouble finding the right game for you, we recommend you check out r/AVN_Lovers if you haven’t already - they have quite extensive lists of recommendations and it’s a very positive and respectful community.
  • I don’t like any kind of LGBTQ+ content. Can I turn it off so I don’t have to see it?
    Although neither of the main relationships are queer, some characters depicted in the story are. We will not be focusing on those relationships in detail, but you may find conversations about this and images of them engaging in some sort of romantic displays of affection. If this is something you would like to absolutely avoid, then maybe this isn’t the game for you.
  • What does “drama” stand for in SOP? Should I run to the store for tissues?
    This is a tough question to answer. We did not set out to make a tearjerker or an overdramatic story. We use the term “drama” because that is the one that we consider the closest to the nature of SOP, but depending on your personal experience it may or may not elicit crocodile tears at one point or another.
  • Do you have the whole story planned out already? How long is it going to be?
    The same day I came up with the plot and characters, I wrote a quick summary for each chapter and each ending. Of course, I continue to edit these the more I write, but we have a very clear direction of where each story will go. The only thing that has not been that clear lately is whether there will be 3 or 4 chapters. Some characters have been overly stubborn to open up and it may take them a little bit longer than I initially thought.
  • Are you going to add more love interests?
    The short answer is “no”. The answer I like the best is “maybe”. We’ve got some ideas but it all really depends on public reception, financial support, time and, most of all, our will to make it happen.
  • Next update when?!
    You will have an approximate date for chapter 2 in about a month. We’re doing our best to ensure that they will not take too long, but after all we’re just two people working on this in our free time. We will always keep you updated and be as transparent as possible regarding the development of the game.
  • Why do you hate beer/ewoks/romance/crying/shoes/etc?
    Our characters’ opinions do not reflect our own, they reflect their own experiences and states at the time the story takes place. Well, except for the ewoks thing. They’re the best and you can’t convince me otherwise.
We hope this helped you have a clearer picture of our game. If you have other rendering/writing-specific questions, we may do another one of these in the future, or whole dev logs on aspects that may be interesting to share - kinda like we’ve been doing.

  • Bonus question: Did you really take the chapter 1 title word from The Simpsons?
    I have no regrets.

FAQ read dev note.

Interesting characters. Didn't see anything here about future tags - anyone with access to Dev's Discord that might have insight?
 
Cool premise, I'll keep an eye on it to see how it fleshes out.
 
Glad that this has an update. The first chapter had some good art and writing. Going to play the second chapter ASAP.
 
beautiful renders and promising story. looking really good
 
Wow, this was special. I loved the story, the characters, the attention to details. I hope it continues like this...
 
This game is superb. the writing is absolutely fantastic, and so far both story lines touch the heart. thank you for this story and I'll be keeping an eye out for future releases, and future works by this dev!
 
Great renders and attractive characters with a nicely developing story. Nice work
 
very pretty good looking pictures, so realistic.... see the 4th image
but damn there is no time... so many AVN in my queue list....
 
Just finished the second chapter.
This VN features some of best writing I've experienced in some while, no matter the media.
The story and dialogues are so good that I don't mind the lack of lewd content. And the renders are just as good.
 
Anyone having trouble for linux where the game doesn't start via .sh?
