Long Story Short
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Important message! (March 14) The game is currently in alpha stage and selling for 20$ in order to match other platforms. The price will drop to 10$ in 3 days and to 5$ in a week.
Long Story Short - Synopsis
You will be playing as a guy who's never really clicked with girls. You'd much rather spend your time on the computer playing video games than dealing with real-life relationships. However, things quickly change. Your best friend, Joe, has made a significant change in his life, and he is there to pull you out of your comfort zone into a new lifestyle that you never thought you'd experience.
The Experience
About me
I've been working as a full-time developer since 2015, and in late 2017, I decided I should give it a go and try to develop an adult visual novel myself! It's a fantastic feeling seeing people talking about your creation and investing time to play something you work so hard to produce.
I'm developing the game by myself as a hobby alongside my daytime job, but I hope to someday make a living out of creating adult visual novels.

Amazing game ! when update is planned ?
When will it be released on Steam?
Any news on an update?
Yes, just posted an update on my Patreon/Subscriberstar.
tl;dr: working on releasing an alpha version before the final release (the final release will be also released on Steam)
It might take me a week+- to finish the alpha.
Thank you!
Is it just me or is there no audio for the game?
There will be music + sounds when the game is released on Steam.
i like the way the story is being told here, with the mc as the narrator. im interested to see where it goes. not ot be rude, but vanessa got on my nerves as the game went on. might be just me, though :)
Hi mate- seems like the download links aren't working on the app
Are you sure? Both the Mega and google drive seem to work fine for me and others
ripped off. i paid $5 for a game i can not download.
Don't need to be over dramatic. There was a technical issue.
It's fixed now.
Love the game
Any chance of a scene unlock button in a future update
Joe girlfriend is for the streets. I'm surprised she isn't a walking disease factory.
Bro i did every storyline i could but still i couldn't unlock some of the scenes. "enjoy the show"," typing with one hand "
And in gallery "drank too much" "body shots"
Lost the phone, watching the sex tape,
Could anyone help me out?
Is the NTR specifically 'Netorare'? (Pls say yes)
I've NEVER seen NTR mean something else in the AVN world. I think it's safe to assume yes.
Happy New Year, wishing you all the bestοΌεΏζ³δΊζππππππ
I enjoyed the game & the NTR surprisingly. I was looking forward to the steam release until I read how your going to raise the price for each additional release you post there. I understand you need to be compensated for your time, resources... but to continue to raise the price for the game just for adding an update is taking advantage of your supporters. I'd think twice. Why not just raise the price to $15 or $20 like most do for the same level of quality game & gain more followers?
Where did you read that? I've never said such things, and it's obviously not true.
This is from Steam's Early Access Page that was written. Here's a screenshot as of today:
Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
βThe price will gradually rise as we ship new content and features.β
Not stirring up trouble because I like the game & will support you...just thought I'd share my thoughts is all.
This simply means that while the early access is going on, the price will be slightly lower than the completed product.
And, of course, there is a cap.
The reason it was worded like that was because when I wrote it the way I did just now, Steam didn't approve my page and asked me to change it to something similar to what you screenshotted.
And by the way, even if it was true, raising the price just means that there is a benefit to buying it early. I don't see any different between this and giving a discount that will expire after some time.
Are all the scenes shown in the gallery unlockable in the game already? And is there a walkthrough?
Yes, all the pictures in the gallery can be found in the game.
Sadly, no walkthrough, at this moment.
IS THERE A DEMO AVAILABLE?
More corruption please!!! <3 The game is fantastic, I'm really looking forward to seeing more.
Heya TTrick, Just wanna say your game is fantastic and I very much look forward do seeing more.
Thank you! π
The games 80% NTR. Not worth playing in the slightest for romance. Would need multiple updates in a row only for love paths to make it enjoyable
Looking for "Romance" in games but has the name "MeMeWantHoles" LMAO!
v8b size?
paid my $5 bucks and now says i cant download because its on a different third party website. WTH
you have to open itch io in your actual browser and it will work
Did that as you said and no change. Still says its stored on an incompatable third party website
opened browser, opened itch within browser, nogo. Still says download is on an incompatable server.
i'm not a fan of NTR but i give it a try and when i see chris enter her little hole it was too much so i need a way to end his life
and a walkthrougth could be cool have a hard time to unlock the gallery and the scene
BTW i like the game i just hate chris and i love Ann in the both way of her history
Are the gallery scenes animated?
Hi,
will the game only be available on Steam as a full version?
Unfortunately, the game is not allowed in Germany.
Can I get the full version somewhere else if I buy it from Itch.io currently?
I will upload the game here and on Patreon for the same price.
However, steam is a one-time payment and on other platforms is per version...
More corruption please!!! <3
I am trying to unlock all the gallery scenes and I just can't manage to do it after several playthroughs. Any chance TTrick you or anyone else has a walkthrough to get all the scenes??
Just swinging by to say your art looks so amazing so I'll have to try it now! I have no doubt you'll keep growing this game to greater heights :)
when are you releasing the game on Steam??
1st of March is the plan date as of right now
Thanks. I already have it wish listed. I enjoyed playing the game so far here on itch.
Don't get put off by the haters [i want all the girls to f*ck only me as i'm so insecure with my own masculinity]... this VN is a class act (art, design, characters and story) and its fun. You can play as a faithful lover, mostly faithful lover, etc, all the way to the other side of the spectrum. You will be the main character in LSS but it wants to test you, push you, and thats what makes LSS interesting. If you aren't into sharing/ntr , or wont even entertain the idea in order to progress the story, then either DISABLE it at the start or go find something else. But dishing this VN because it ain't your thing is (imho) simply immature and selfish. Be open-minded in life, and judge for yourselves, not what others tell you. LSS is one of the better VNs out there whatever your tastes. Have fun!
Thank you! I feel like you really understand what LSS is about
I couldn't agree more, this VN is absolutely amazing and I really hope this doesn't end up later abandoned like so many others because this one is easily one of the best!
the visuals are nice will give it a go
so u can disable NTR, but not swinging. right
You can.
When you are presented with the option, just refuse it.
played the game, and hated it, it full of NTR and sharing content. trying to avoid it all is a constant and anoiyng work, not ewen shure u CAN AVOID it all. needs a walkthg so u know what choices to make to avoid all that NTR/sharing content that seems to take up most of the game. feelt like a cock game to me
