Inspired by many games on this site, this offering is a first attempt to create a game. Having zero previous experience with HTML, Java, CSS, Twine and Sugarcube I'm using it as a learning experience.
It is currently very incomplete and contains known bugs but hopefully no "double-click to edit" passages. One path should be playable to beyond day 40.
Not all variables are currently in use. Lot's of balancing to be done and yes it's possible to continue to do most things with negative cash, This is really just a first release to judge whether it's worth pursuing.
V0.06 now available as Complete download.
You have been struggling with gender issues on and off for some time. Finally you decide to seek some help.

V0.00 Initial release
This is a simple but engaging game. I'd really love to see more of where this game it going.
There is a certain element to the story that makes it a little bit personal and grounded. At least until the 3rd or so therapist appointment after which it swings into the bonkers/fap category. The non-cheat, non-least developed path, is a slow grind if you choose to make it so. And it makes it a bit of a satisfactory grind. On my 3rd or 4th gameplay, and I still enjoy the story and progression.
I just wish the therapist's lead was a little bit more open-ended.
Media and therapy sessions are great. Unfortunately the other content (work / club) doesn't have enough story or characterisation. It is still worth a play through though.
If you enjoy being bored...this game is the one for you.
It has been suggested that my sarcastic sentence isn't exactly...constructive. I was just being a sarcastic git. When I have the time and energy, I'll see if I can expand upon what led me to that sentiment.

Basically, this game is an unsatisfying grind. It's not alone in this regard. So many games think they're doing a good thing by making you keep track of stupid shit like showering, eating, makeup, making sure you buy that stuff etc. In my opinion, this does not contribute to fun, but to boredom.
When therapist asks first question which will determine gameplay, results will be :
1) Cheatmode with everything open, all clothes, etc. Not interesting at all. No progression.
2) Least developed path
3) Bugged path with dead end on second therapist session (1 minute gameplay)
Game versions says 0.005 and it's ready by half a percent. Nothing to do here
