Accidental Woman by ThaumX

At it's core, Accidental Woman is a life-sim sandbox setting. Rent an apartment, find a job, maintain relationships, decorate your home. Character creation offers you more control over your appearance, skills, and traits than all but a few games I've encountered. Everything you would expect of a solid sandbox setting.

But where this game really starts to stand out is it's presentation. The game is overtly sexual in almost every way while maintaining a playful, almost whimsical atmosphere. Work at the Happy Hucow Farm, stay in contact with friends through Twatter, eat at Fuk Mi Sushi Buffet, or shop at Bordello Boudoir & Beyond. There are a wide range of places to visit, npcs to meet and potentially hook up with, and jobs you can work at. 

The good:

*Beautifully presented setting. Funny, light hearted, and immersive. The whole setting is presented with a tongue-in-cheek attitude that is absolutely charming.

*Lots of control over your actions., letting you do what you want, when you want.

*Good art.

*Decent relationship building.

*Lots of options during sex scenes.

*Pregnancy

The bad:

*The mental health system can have a somewhat harsh learning curve. You'll want to keep an eye on your mood and what affects it. Once you figure out what affects what, maintaining your health comes fairly naturally.

Honestly, this is among my all time favorite games. I've drawn inspiration from the game, and I play it regularly. I encourage everyone to download the free version of the game, give it a try, and if you like their work, show a little support if you're able.

 I hope all of you enjoy this game every bit as much as I do! 

Someone was kind enough to point out that the free build didn't upload with my previous post.    I should have double checked, but didn't.  I have gone back and added it to the previous post.  Sorry about the inconvenience.

"After the passing of your estranged Great Uncle, you're surprised to find yourself listed as the sole heir to his estate. With all the legal unpleasantness out of the way, you're now on your way to your new home.

Not sure what to expect when you arrive, you don't know if you're going to sell the mansion or live there, but once you step inside your entire world changes when you are suddenly faced with the fact that you now own two slave girls.

What do you do with them? Do you follow in your Great Uncle's footsteps and use them for your own pleasure? Do you treat them like servants? Or do you nurture a relationship with them that just might blossom into something more, . . ."

Player reviews:

"Fantastic start, really immersive.

I tried to go the cruel path and can't continue, the girls' reactions are just too strong

Time to be a carebear for a little while I guess."

-kalifianto

"I gotta say, I absolutely loved that intro. It has all the things that make me interested in a game. Specifically, the focus on writing and character building, the "emotional porn" I guess some call it, and yet still the arousal you get from a game like this."

-Treestump

"Man this game is awesome.

I want to be bad, but i end up feeling bad about being and then i'm good."

-nicktrocado

"Hm...I am conflicted ...the writer is good at making me question what the best path is ...I mean of the two choices here (I will never be a total abusive asshole, not even in a game so for me there's only two choices here, not 3 (abusing her is out of the question!)...no, I can't even roleplay that! I can roleplay a greedy person, a person driven by revenge, hell even someone who's a racist should I really need to etc. etc. but not someone who's just an evil asshole!):

- stop Anna from having sex with you (either by saying you aren't even remotely intersted in her, which would in my case be a lie, not to mention totally uncalled for! Or by saying that if there's going to be sex then it will be consensual (which more or less means she has to initiate it without thinking that she has to, but because she wants it!))

- have sex with her but make it special for her (the absolute opposite to the uncle who basically used her as a living sex-doll!)

The first choice seems to be the better one at face value, but on the other hand: She's enjoying herself in choice two (she clamps down on the protagonist's head when he's eating her out because she has an orgasm and she seems to like kissing, too) and it seems to establish a better connection between the protagonist and her (not to mention that giving someone who's had very few good things happen to them a very good one seems like something you really should do)

I really don't know which is the morally superior choice...:(

ps: I love it when games challange me like that, sadly most AAA-Developers have stopped making games that really challenge you like this :("

-DarthLAX

"Oh shit, this is by the guy who is writing The Allure of Wanton Cove. "An emotionally damaged woman who is haunted by the horrors she has experienced" huh? Considering it's this guy, those horrors might be pretty harsh. Looks awesome."

* Updated the Special Thanks area 5/15/19. If you think you belong on this list but your name isn't there, please let me know so I can get it fixed.

What's in the new Public Build?

A40

* Wrote and added a new scene for Eve that can take place in the afternoons in her bedroom in the servant's area. Requires highish stats. 10.2k words of content generously sponsored by Braidborn.

* Wrote and added a new scene including Anna, Eve, and Yami to the servant's area in the evenings. 2.4k words of content.

* Meal time content has started to see it's overhaul. Got a single meal done for breakfast. For the time being this has been added to the original breakfast content until that can be converted as well. This includes around 8.5k words of content.

* Wrote and added three "Feather Play" intros to the St Andrew's Cross. .3k words of content.

* Wrote and added eleven "Feather Play" scenes to the St Andrew's Cross. 1.5k words of content.

* Wrote and added a new pregnancy related scene for Anna to the sleep function. Requires 22 weeks pregnant or more, plus ok or higher stats.

* Wrote and added two new scenes for Anna when she's pregnant. One in the Bathing Room, the other appearing in most places with a couch or where you can assign her to sleep. .4k words of content.

* Wrote and added a scene to Mid Main where you can buy an engagement ring for Anna. Happens at very high relationship levels and between 8am and 8pm. .8k words of content.

* Added Casual Talk option to Sidra. Currently includes 13 small scenes and which scenes appear are subject to relationship stats. 1k words of content submitted by hospoguy76

* Added three new meal time events for Sidra to the lunch and dinner meals. These will later be worked into the new meal time content but for the time being they fire as their own events. All three require that you have Anna, Eve, and Sidra eating with you, the third requiring that you have middling or higher relationship values with both Eve and Sidra. 2.5k words of content submitted by hospoguy76

* Added a new scene to the Youkai Emporium for if you own Mitsuko. 8k words of content submitted by Irish Major Tom.

* Added a new karaoke scene for Mitsuko to the karaoke function in the game. 1.1k words of content submitted by Irish Major Tom.

* Added a new scene for Jenna (Jen) to the game that introduces the character. Takes place in the evening if you drive into town. This is a fairly rare event and requires that it be raining or storming. 2.6k words of content submitted by The Exile.

* Added a new conversation for Mitsuko to her Casual talk. .2k words of content submitted by Irish Major Tom.

* Added a new NPC, Jen, to the game.

* Added the framework for dog and horse breeding to the game. Mostly this is code and has little content at this point in time. Thanks to Anenn and Principle Chorus for all the work they've put into this.

* Added a ton of supporting code to the meal time content. EVERYONE should see either increases or decreases in stats according to whether or not they eat with you in every meal now even if the scene doesn't depict the character. Characters not yet in the mansion will not be affected by these stat changes. Meal time has officially become a way to grind for stats. In most cases, eating with you will will move every stat for the affected character one point in the positive direction, sometimes more. If you have lots of characters in the mansion, then it can be very effective in giving a small blanket increase to everyone. This probably accounts for about 10k words of raw code. It's proving to be a nightmare to set up, but it's going to be SO worth it when it's done! (NOTE: Anna doesn't mind serving table, especially if Eve has a place at it. But it's going to upset her if she's at the table and you make Eve wait table.)

* Added a cheat option to the Cheat Menu so you can increase or decrease the MCs Alchemy score.

* Added a cheat option to the Cheat Menu to allow players to change the name and gender of babies. This is in response to an earlier misfire situation with the birthing where babies were being created but you weren't given the option to name them.

* Added placeholders for three types of movie to the Theater. This includes art. Nine new images added to the game.

* Added five new images to the west grounds location. This includes the winter weather image set.

* Added five new images to the east grounds location. This includes the winter weather image set.

* Added six new images to the boathouse location. This includes the winter weather image set.

* Added six new images to the kennels location. This includes the winter image set.

* Added six new images to the pond location. This includes the winter image set.

* Added nine new weather themed images to Gaia's apples content. This includes both the winter and rain weather sets.

* Replaced Mistuko's intro image with a revised image.

* Minor revision to the Submission Guide.

* Fixed a missing link that was preventing Misaki's pregnancy announcement from appearing.

* Fixed an issue where Misaki's intro through Bruce wasn't actually purchasing her properly. She should be joining the household properly now.

* Fixed a lunch time scene involving Maki and Bubbles that wasn't displaying properly.

* A ton of small fixes. Dialogue box problems, spelling and grammar isshes..

* Updated the Special Thanks area 4/17/19. If you think you belong on this list but your name isn't there, please let me know so I can get it fixed.

I thought it was past time I caught everyone up on where we are.

With this bug going around, the last two months have been complete chaos. We've been very lucky on the Inheritance front though, while everything going on in the world has cut heavily into my writing time, many of the members of our team have been able to pull up the slack to ensure that all of you fine people have something to play! 

 
This build is going to be pretty special for several reasons. We've got a good amount of new content, more than 70 new images in the game, and our coders have been doing a staggering amount of work in the background. Additionally, we've got early lab content in place, the greenhouse seems to be working, and while both the kennels and stables seem to be working even if they still need some work. 

As of yesterday, I released a test build in preparation of Fridays release of the game. Lacking any surprises, that's going to be pretty close to the build we see at the end of the week (We've made a couple of really minor fixes since then.) 

I've also got a lot of submissions coming in, I don't have time to get it into this week's build, but it's going to be a big step toward what will be a truly epic build next month. 

We're working on some other exciting stuff in the background, but I'll refrain from saying much about it until we're a little closer to the big reveal. 

In the meantime, I hope all of you are staying safe and healthy. Keep your eyes pealed for Friday! 

"After the passing of your estranged Great Uncle, you're surprised to find yourself listed as the sole heir to his estate.  With all the legal unpleasantness out of the way, you're now on your way to your new home.

Not sure what to expect when you arrive, you don't know if you're going to sell the mansion or live there, but once you step inside your entire world changes when you are suddenly faced with the fact that you now own two slave girls.

What do you do with them?  Do you follow in your Great Uncle's footsteps and use them for your own pleasure?  Do you treat them like servants?  Or do you nurture a relationship with them that just might blossom into something more, . . ."

Best of wishes in these trying times:

The last few weeks have been a trying time for everyone.  In some places we have the first signs of getting better, while in other places it's likely to get quite a bit worse before it can start getting better.  I hope that each and every one of you is staying safe, that you have what you need to get by, and all of the people you care about are staying safe as well.

As for me and mine, I'm used to working every day, but with my kids home from school, and them doing school electronically for the most part. I find myself in a position where I'm spending more time being a teacher than a worker during the school week.  To make up for that, I've been trading my hobby time for work time in the evenings, and my "family day" has become a work day over the weekends.  It's not ideal, but it IS allowing me to mostly keep up with what I am hoping to accomplish with Inheritance each week.  It's a balancing act that I'm still trying to perfect, and when the school year ends in a few weeks I'll be able to settle back into my usual schedule anyway.  All of that said, while being cooped up can be frustrating at times, I'm doing well on my end.

Tomorrow is Easter.  While this year it's going to be hard to spend time with family like many of us normally do, I'd like to encourage you to give your loved one a call, let them know that you miss getting to spend time with them and to let them know how much they mean to you.  We may not be able to do all of the things that usually bring joy to our lives, but we CAN share stories of the good times with the ones we love the most.  And more importantly, we can rise above these hard times do what little good we can.  Small acts of kindness mean more now than they have any time in most of our lifetimes.  And while a small act of kindness may not seem like much to us, it can mean everything to the percon receiving it.


Progress Report:

Now, on to the progress report.

My work schedule has been pretty quirky this last few weeks, but I've still been getting a good amount of work done.  At the same time, some of our writers have been creating content, while others have been focused on other concerns.  Even so, we've managed to put together a bit over 35k words of content for next weekend's build.  The game is currently in the testing phase as we bug hunt and add a bit of polish in preparation for the next build of the game.

Our intended target date for our next release was the 17th.  Given that is my birthday, I don't know if my family has any plans for me.  If they plan to monopolize my time that day, I may release the build either a day early or a day later than I normally would.  Otherwise everything is on schedule and we think we've created something pretty special for all of you this time around!
