Hello everyone! It's been almost a week since Gynocracy launched in Early Access and I'm very humbled by the response so far, thank you all very much. I'd like to take this opportunity to clarify some frequently raised issues.

Release of new chapters

Each chapter takes about two months to produce. Chapter 4 was completed in August. Chapter 5 is currently about 50% done, so you should expect it to be available in late October/early November. Please keep in mind that this is a single-dev project and things outside my control can happen, so don't take this as set in stone, but this is the general idea.

Localization

Will the game be translated into [insert your favorite language]? I can't say yet. I would like the game translated into as many languages as possible, but only after it comes out of Early Access. The reason for this is that localization would complicate the release of new chapters at this stage + I want to be able to easily tweak existing chapters as needed.

Game choices, paths

The first three chapters are fairly linear to establish the game world and story. In chapter 4, things start to diverge based on your choices. These divergences revolve around the main couple, the protagonist and his wife. The changes are subtle at first, but the idea is to make them deeper and deeper. From the feedback I've gotten so far, there are a lot of different expectations for how our heroes' relationship should evolve, so I want to let the players decide.

Steam Reviews

If you have played the game, please, please, please consider writing a review steamthumbsup steamthumbsdown. So far, only a tiny fraction of players have left a review. In addition to providing feedback to the developers, reviews affect the visibility of the game on Steam and are therefore extremely important, especially for small indie games like Gynocracy.

Feedback

I want to hear your feedback! Tell me what you liked, what you didn't like, what you'd like to see more of (or less of). Even though I have the whole story outlined, I'm not afraid to change things based on player feedback :) Thank you and have fun!

Gynocracy is a femdom-themed erotic visual novel that immerses players in the story of a young married couple whose sailing trip in the Mediterranean takes an unexpected turn. They find themselves in Queen's Isle, a small isolated island country governed by President Danielle Ashcroft. Ashcroft and her all-female government have transformed the country into a matriarchal society where men are considered second-rate citizens.



As a player, you assume the role of the husband in the couple. Together with your wife, Kalie, you must navigate and adapt to your new roles within this unfamiliar environment. While Kalie feels appreciated and valued by President Ashcroft, you, as the male hero, only encounter disdain and humiliation.

Throughout the game, you will encounter a diverse cast of characters inhabiting Queen's Isle. These characters range from attractive, high-powered dominant women to oppressed individuals who oppose the regime. The choices you make will have consequences and influence the outcome of the story.



Will the main hero overcome his initial reluctance and find satisfaction in his new subservient role? Alternatively, will he actively work to undermine Ashcroft's rule? What challenges will arise for him and Kalie, and how will their marriage withstand the unique circumstances they face?

By making choices throughout the game, both seemingly insignificant and pivotal, you will shape the destiny of the characters and determine the course of their story.
