A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

You were the right hand of a powerful mafia family until you were framed for 500,000 dollars and 5 kilos of white powder. Now you are on the run.

Hiding from your past, you sail to a small island town where your uncle puts you in charge of a half-ruined hospital. It seems like a quiet place to lie low. But soon you realize that a strange creature with a shark’s tail is watching you. And that is far from your biggest problem.


This is a dating sim with a full story and an open world. You can expect:

📼 Around 5 hours of open-world gameplay with plenty of things to do.

📼 6 mini-games with upgrades and progression.

📼 A main character inspired by Tommy Vercetti, able to own property and improve it.

📼 A simplified RPG system with dialogue choices and character stats.

📼 A protagonist who acts like an adult, not a whining schoolkid talking to himself for hours.

📼 Content warning: contains adult scenes, violence, and strong language.




This is a censored preview for itch.io. It includes story and gameplay only; all explicit/NSFW (18+) scenes have been removed. If you want the complete experience, the uncensored version is available on Patreon and Boosty. (For free 0.1.1)

Attention: the full version on Patreon and Boosty contains adult scenes and strong language!




This game is made by a solo developer. I have been working on it for two years, and your support truly helps keep the project alive and improving.

I have worked on this project for over two years, and while this compromise is difficult, I hope you’ll still appreciate the story.

La versión sin censura solo es la 1.1v?

(-1)

Free for now, yes.

Due to this being a clean version, can you please remove the NSFW screenshots, or mark this page as adult?

(1 edit) (+2)

It’s literally stated in the tags and in the title :)

(+1)(-2)

It still shows up in search even when "show adult content" is turned off, and when put into a private browser page, the adult content warning does not appear either.

I had checked the tags and saw that there were indeed adult warnings; however, despite it including the Adult, Hentai, and NSFW tags (which would normally tag them as adult automatically), the same issue I mentioned before applies.

(-3)

The Itch version of the game is completely SFW. There are no explicit scenes at all; both the visuals and descriptions have been cut. :)
(I will change the screenshot a bit later to make it more censored.)

(+3)(-1)

So the uncensored version on patreon and boosty is paid? even though the description says they are free (patreon and boosty keep asking me to upgrade to a paid membership to download the uncensored versions)

(+1)(-1)

That description is outdated (version 0.1.1 did indeed have a free uncensored version). As for version 0.1.6, the free uncensored build will be released as soon as paid subscribers get the update.

Nobody is stopping you from playing the old uncensored version :)

Everything is available on Patreon.

Please help me, I don't know what to do, on the first night after I went to Uncle Mario's, an error appears, which means I can't go into my house because it throws me back to the main screen.

(1 edit) (+1)(-1)

Can you send a screenshot of the error?

I don't have this error, so I assume it might be related to your game's language. I'm not sure, though. In any case, I need a screenshot of the error to fix it.

is it a known issue that the main quest can break at "Time to stop pretending to be a doctor and actually learn something" if you get qualification book to 5 before the quest starts?

i am also unable to start a new game even after redownloading as it somehow still remembers my save data?

(1 edit)

In version v0.1.5, everything has been fixed.

All you need to do now is wait for the update.

(I’m not entirely sure what you mean by “it’s impossible to start the game over”. That’s the first time I’ve heard of such an issue.)

If you want to avoid the bug with leveling up to Qualification Level 5, for the love of God, play through the story part of the game first instead of grinding. Grinding is what breaks the game at that point. 🥲🤧

There are boxes next to each upgrade where the doctor can tick a checkbox. That’s where you need to click.

If it didn’t work for you, wait until next week. An update will be rele

Okay, so there seems to be an issue with the fullscreen button. I clicked on it, tried to continue the game, but it didn’t work. I could only go back to the menu. When I clicked to exit fullscreen, everything shifted.

How do I know this? Because when I tried to save my progress (overwriting my first file with 68 days), it actually selected “load” instead. As I attempted to save over my first file, the second file (an older save from day 2) was loaded. Then, when I tried to go back to my first file, it ended up being overwritten. So I just lost all my progress.

Anyway, it was a pleasure playing the game, but I’ll be taking a break for now. It would be nice if you could look into this issue for other players. No hate. I had a lot of fun playing :)

(+1)

well, you can suggest that to him on his Discord.

Thanks a lot for the feedback, I’ll work on this!

Hey, you are one of the few developers who put a form of penis biting into a hentai game. I like rough and bitey blowjobs so it's my kink. The harder the better. I appreciate it and I wish there were more (or are more in the future) ^_^
Recommendation: add a 'toggle' for x-ray and 'zoom' feature for the animations.
p.s. I beat it on "hard mode" like it was intended.
- sincerely a fan.

There are scenes in the upcoming update that you might like. )

The game is amazing. I played the full version and really enjoyed the game, the hospital, the blackjack, and of course the interactions with the girl. For being a demo, it’s great. I have nothing to complain about except for one small detail: the character’s name can’t be changed… but that’s an insignificant detail compared to everything the game offers. I can’t wait for the full game to be released; hopefully, it will have many more features (like interactions, hospital functions, reading, and story).

Regarding the gameplay, it’s very diverse and fun. The puzzles are a bit tedious, but still irrelevant.

I really look forward to the game and will give all the support I can to the project. For anyone hesitating to download it: 100% Recommended. It’s the best game I’ve downloaded on itch.io (and I’ve downloaded over 50 games…).

P.S.: Thank you so much for including Spanish. Please, I beg you, don’t stop translating it.

(+1)

Thank you so much for the feedback. I’m currently working on a full first episode and plan to increase the amount of content by about 70%. I’ll also fulfill most player requests. :)

Will you ever plan on making an android build in the future?

The Android build is already available on Patreon and Boosty.

Do I plan to release a free Android version? Yes. Without any NSFW content.

i finished the free boosty version of this game and REALLY enjoyed it.

i usually dont like games with too much grinding and days running by fast, but this one was really interesting and i finished the demo. as someone who cant really donate, i thought id at least leave a good review. its a really enjoyable, peaceful and relaxing game and i loved the art style.

i really enjoyed talking to Marie, she was really cute and i liked the stalker task

the only thing i didnt really enjoy was the ai art, but it is tough hiring professional artists to make art with smaller devs.

something i really appreciated was how it wasnt really corny. usually, i cringe at corny lines and situations in nsfw games, but i really liked how i didnt find any cringe lines in this game, and i thought the mafia stuff was pretty sick.

i hope id be able to buy the finished game, but likely not. i really do recommend others to buy this game tho.

(1 edit) (+3)

Thank you so much for the review :)

There is no AI art in the game. I personally worked on every piece. If you do not count the library minigame and two backgrounds, which are blurred, that was a necessary temporary measure for now.

(+1)

This is a very cool game!

I was really hooked by the storyline and mini-games in the cut scenes. Nice and cool style. I also got hooked on the farming system. This game shows potential for the storyline and interactions with Shark;)

Thank you, I’ll keep doing my best to make you happy!

(+1)

I player 0.1.1, idk why but it seems that upgrades get stuck and doesn't let you click on them, as a clicker is addictive am not gonna lie and the shark girl is funny tho

Could you tell me in more detail? Do you have an old PC? Which upgrades exactly are not working? Thanks in advance :)

(+3)

I played the Patreon version.

I was amazed by how thoroughly crafted this visual novel is. It feels as if the creator ignores the usual limits of the genre, so the project stands head and shoulders above most others.

A clicker? A clicker… yet incredibly addictive. I swear I spent half my time in it and never got bored. And I normally hate clickers.

Open world? It is present, small yet functional. There is plenty to do, from working to playing cards.

Dialogue choices? There are so many that your eyes can’t keep up. Some even boost your stats.

The shark girl? An interesting and funny character. Tons of mini-dialogues and actions. Ask her favorite dish, hold her hand, even tell her what you do not like about her. Feeding her, though… that will drain your wallet.

As for the economy, it is balanced and it never lets you relax until the end of the demo. Expenses are many, and they grow toward the finale. Income grows too. In short, you will not be bored, and you will not farm millions to breeze through the rest of the game.

The protagonist? An interesting guy. The fun begins even before the game starts, since you pick his personality and he speaks in that style, whether an old school action hero or a joker. It is the first time I have seen this much attention given to the main character.

Events? Not too many yet, but enough to show how well they are built. There is always a stat check, so do not slack on leveling.

I am so thrilled with this new experience that I could talk about it for hours. Sorry for the long comment. I truly enjoyed the game. I would even call it a masterpiece. I hope to see a continuation soon.

The update [0.1.1v] is now available on Patreon. I’ve listened to everyone’s feedback and tried to fix the most common complaints along with the main bug. Tomorrow, an Android version will be released for patrons, and I’ll also upload the update on Itch.

(+2)

I like the game so far.
After luck 6 you can just spam 5xlootboxes and you can gain more money then you spen on the lootboxes itself i literally went from 600$ to 200k$ by using lootboxes personally i would either cap the luck stat or like with the blackjack restrict the times you can use loot boxes.

(+1)

I think in the next minor update I will fix Uncle’s loot boxes :) And I will also make the grind a little easier.

(-6)

well i liked the premisse, i liked the art but using v-tubers for nsfw is a no for me, good luck dev if you have another game like this but without v-tubers or stremers in general maybe i will give a chance.

(2 edits) (+3)

You can absolutely play the Itch version — there are no “bad scenes” here :)

(+1)(-1)

I know, but correct me if I'm wrong. The game was made to be an NSFW game, so playing without it doesn't take away the point of it. Now for the people who downvoted my comment, I'd like to clarify something. I didn't say the guy's game is bad, just that vtubers, streamers, or celebrities in general aren't something I like in an NSFW game because of the context they're in. Like Scarlett Johansson, I think she's very pretty, but she's an actress, period. If she made an NSFW movie, I wouldn't watch it.

(+2)(-1)

No, you’re not entirely right. The main story is only slightly influenced by the NSFW scenes. I get that it might be hard to understand how in a game like this the adult content isn’t the main focus. But for me, the story itself is the biggest motivator behind creating something.

Here the plot is a bit deeper than just sleeping with someone. The shark girl isn’t “someone” from the real world. I’m only inspired by the character’s image and personality, with full respect and care for the character itself.

Is there somewhere that we can get the uncensored version

(+3)

Yes. You can download the uncensored version on my Patreon. There is a big PATREON link on this page; click it to go to the download. The uncensored build is free. Saves from the censored version will carry over to the uncensored version.
