This game looks like it has good potential but lacks a few basic capabilities of a slave management game. There's no way to increase the semi/steady income from purchased slaves. There is only 1 real way of reducing slave upkeep expenses and that burns through low value slaves relatively frequently with no consistent way to get and get rid of cheap slaves or to maintain those cheep slaves to avoid needing to get rid of them.
It seams like the style the game currently requires you to play is to buy a slave tailor it to a specific type of request and wait for the request to appear on the wanted board. Not really the type of gameplay I particularly enjoy as its especially high risk for what looks like only a moderate reward.
From what I can see from previews, they look like CGs from visual novels. So likely just even more of those for variety. Though since they use CGs from VNs, it kinda make me cringe a bit (Not like I don't like the artstyle, it's just.... they took it from some random VNs).
Hey Quagmir, I've never really done any porting to apps before, and an android version would probably (I'm guessing) require a substantial re-work of the UI to be manageable. In short: I would be willing to team with someone to do it, but it's not something I would be doing on my own :(
The other rooms are disabled intentionally because they don't have a real function yet. I've just uploaded a new version of 1.2 that should fix the Chamber! Thanks for pointing that out!
Hi! I quite dont understand this: why do I not receive the girls payouts even if I have checked the receive pay box? I have 3 girls for example, and i receive money just from one. Why? Oh, and it should be nice if I can choose which girl gives me the pays and which dont. Ty
Hi Andrei, I'm sorry! It seems like there is a bug with that button. You CAN receive girl payouts from all your girls, but it looks like there a problem where sometimes the button isn't pressed, even though it appears to be pressed. I'm going to be releasing version 1.2 in about an hour, and that problem won't be in the updated version. Thanks for pointing it out!
Thank you for reply, its warming when dev is responding back ngl :)) btw, the game is interesting, a little hard, but interesting, I spent like 4 hours last night to understand how it works, but its cool anyway. Keep up your work. Bless u and all weebs xdd
Yeah, the new update has some additional displays to help guide the player a little. I wanted it to be a little hard because I think these types of games are often too easy or repetitive. I hope everything's peaceful wherever you are!
I m near Ukraine, so yea, paceful :)) One more question, in the new update why I cant build the chamber to administer elixir? Or any other special rooms?
Ah darn! I removed the ability to build the special rooms because the currently don't do anything, and that could be a little confusing. But I forgot to make an exception for the chamber. It's not a big problem because you can just start with "assistance" and you will get the chamber for free - just don't destroy it >~< I will fix that and upload a new version today!
Hey Justy, I use Godot, so it saves to the default Godot saveloc - irritating to find but simple to code >_< It should be under: user/AppData/Roaming/Godot/app_userdata/Secluded in Nightshine
Hi Zaldar. I had made up a little reference card that I never put in the folder because I was too lazy or something, and it's also not terribly helpful. Regardless, I've put the reference card in the download folders now. The "human" girls are split up into girlpacks 1-3. Girlpack 4 has elves, animal-girls (mostly catgirls, duh :P), and Amazons who are ... "sturdy and tough". Girlpack 5 has demongirls, angel/ghost girls, and Venoi who are "bountifully endowed"
Hey, thanks for the feedback. The version you downloaded is the newest version - I'm in the middle of a big UI rehaul along with revising some of the old mechanics. The new Cafe will be publicly released in April and the house rooms.... later.
Unfortunately it all just takes time to complete >~<
I really do appreciate hearing your thoughts though! Thanks!
Ohh, okay, thanks for your replying. Looking forward to the latest version there ;D.
BTW, I think this game has some similarities with the Jack O Nine Tial( not sure if you know this game or not), that game is also pretty fun to play with.
I suggest that you could add some main/side quests into the game or add more ways to sell/submit slaves instead of the want list in the market.
Then add some special item or equips that could loot from the missions or other ways which could add some special effect to players( like slowly gain health or something like that) to make to gain more fun to play with, so players will willing to finish the mission that would cause injures and decrease the slave skills.
Moreover, the girl packs are amazing jobs done there, which has given us a greater immersion in the game. (most others games just provide random images that break the immersion a lot.)
Sorry for the late reply - I was sick and busy this weekend... a really miserable combination.
I had never seen Jack-O-Nine before- interesting.
You have some great ideas - I plan to introduce random events as a major part of the game to fill part of the role of quests you mention. I have actually been thinking that the missions might have been a mistake to implement. I want to game to be distinct from the whole Fantasy-RPG genre, with a heavier focus on economic decisions, but I do want the economic focus to be balanced by a small group of girls that you keep and develop as a permanent set -- the tradeoff being that as you develop your close girls, they also become more valuable to sell off.
Another thing I would really like to implement later to improve on the immersion you mention is to give the girls personalities, but I want to do a good job with that rather than just have a few stock lines they repeat (as happens in some games). I'm not sure how that will develop... lots to do before I get around to that.
Hi! I played this a few months back, and now that it's updated, I wanted to get the new version, but the Mega link doesn't seem to be loading properly, I'll be trying again later and will be sure to update on whether it was a me problem or a link problem!
Yeah let me know! I had problems with the Itch Download links because of my popup blocker, but if you're having trouble with the direct "Download folder" link - that's more serious. I could set up a secondary Google Drive download if it doesn't work.
Thanks for the quick reply, and apologies for my late one! I just tried the game download again and it seems to be working! I also had issues with the folder download, but the google drive seems to work. Thank you for finding a solution so quickly!
Hi Chronocrest! Long stories, but I've been working on other projects... you know how it goes. I am gonig to start working on this again I think though. I'm hoping to release an update in the next few weeks .
I'm not sure if I would personally consider 10 days "fast", but hopefully I'll be more responsive now. :P I'm planning an significant update for mid-February.
Super late reply, sorry! Yes, the NSFW stuff is available, but requires downloading the girlpacks. I'm going to change that in an upcoming update to make the game + NSWF a single download.
I'd love to make an Android version - if you know any Android developers who would be interested in working with me, let me know :P The game is made with Godot, which allows Android porting, but it's never something I've experimented with.
Hi not sure if you needed to know this but when you start a new year if you don't like the slave ledger, the death of a slave or wanted ads you can basically refresh them by reloading
Hi Ishik, yeah I'm aware of that - it's by design. I debated internally whether to allow rerolling savefiles like that. What I decided was that - if that's what a player wants to do, I'm not going to tell them they can't. If a player wants to play through without save-reloading, there's nothing to stop them. If people find the temptation to save-reload frustrating, I could put an Ironman option in the start menu that would prevent it.
Hey, I'm having an issue where I'm losing money every year even if my income is higher than my expenses. Makes it hard to figure out how to properly play this game where whenever I do make money, it doesn't actually get counted
Hi Daku. There's one thing I'm aware of that might be the issue: if you earn money from the Arena, that cash won't be added into your displayed Money until you press "Close" on the Newspaper at the beginning of the year. So it might look like you're losing money if you look at the yellow label before you close the newspaper. I've fixed this issue, and will upload a new version right now. If that doesn't sound like the problem, could you give me a little more detail. I'm not aware of any other issues.
Sorry for the late reply, but so like let's say my money is 340, and my income that year was 145, and my expenses were 120. My money goes down to 220 instead of going up to 365. I do not know what is causing this, so I sadly do not have much more information to give.
Thanks for the info Daku. Could you tell me what is giving you the $145 income? Is it all from wages? Or is it from missions, the arena, or sales? If it's from the Arena or Missions, the income was being added, just not at the right time - the display will be fixed with the latest update. If the 145 is from sales or wages... that would be curious.
I'm sorry Daku, I've tried everything I can think of, and I can't reproduce the problem. My only suggestion will be to make sure you have the most recent version - though I don't think I've changed anything relevant to wages. If other people report the same problem, it will help me figure out what the issue is. Right now, I'm afraid I can't find any problem.
It's a good game. Though the only problem, in my opinion, is that it's too difficult if you try to have more than one girl that doesn't have 100 Aggression .
Thanks for the comment, FlamingFoxu~! Are you getting most of your money from Arena fights that use Aggression? I find that the Arena is helpful in the very early game, but doesn't give very good profits long-term. I think the best way to make lots of money is to train girls in the School so that you can sell them. After I make my first or second girl sale, I generally have enough money that I can just ignore the Arena.
Ah, I see~ After you play a bit more, let me know if you still find it too difficult. One tip I posted on my Patreon page is that lowering the number of races available makes the game much easier, because it's easier to match the requests of Wanted Ads that ask for a specific race. I normally play with 8 or 9 races rather than all 14.

is it abandoned?
According to the status it's released.

can you make amdroid version?
what's the girl packs for?
From what I can see from previews, they look like CGs from visual novels. So likely just even more of those for variety. Though since they use CGs from VNs, it kinda make me cringe a bit (Not like I don't like the artstyle, it's just.... they took it from some random VNs).
Any chances of releasing a android version?
Hey Quagmir, I've never really done any porting to apps before, and an android version would probably (I'm guessing) require a substantial re-work of the UI to be manageable. In short: I would be willing to team with someone to do it, but it's not something I would be doing on my own :(
to bad I really wanted to play it on my phone because I dont have a pc :(
How do i unlock the chamber and others?
The other rooms are disabled intentionally because they don't have a real function yet. I've just uploaded a new version of 1.2 that should fix the Chamber! Thanks for pointing that out!

Where does this game save too?
Hey Justy, I use Godot, so it saves to the default Godot saveloc - irritating to find but simple to code >_< It should be under: user/AppData/Roaming/Godot/app_userdata/Secluded in Nightshine
Some of those folders might be hidden folders.
Gotcha! Thanks for the quick reply. I was curious when I couldn't find it any of the usual places. It kinda threw me for a loop lol
Anyway we can see what type of girls in each girl pack? Lots of girls wow

Hi! The game I downloaded from Mega seems to be the old version. The UI is a lot different from the images on the home page on Itch.
The cafe is always under renovation and I have no idea what the facilities in the home are for because the help button isn't responsive.
Anyway, the game has a great potential of fun playing, but with the version I have, it's like a version 0.5 or something like that.

This this still being worked on?

Was just checking, it caught my eye so I wanted to know before I invested time into it. thank you for the fast response.
I'm not sure if I would personally consider 10 days "fast", but hopefully I'll be more responsive now. :P I'm planning an significant update for mid-February.
It's fast considering, most doesn't reply back
Is the NSFW Function already available
or does it get in patched later? Asking for a Friend
Super late reply, sorry! Yes, the NSFW stuff is available, but requires downloading the girlpacks. I'm going to change that in an upcoming update to make the game + NSWF a single download.
Can you tell my how can I make money, I am just losing money each year.
Sad that this can't be played on Android
I'd love to make an Android version - if you know any Android developers who would be interested in working with me, let me know :P The game is made with Godot, which allows Android porting, but it's never something I've experimented with.

It's just wages. I don't get far enough to look into missions, and I don't do Arena too often, but I did notice it added afterwards.
