Really excited to see this update! I have lots of thoughts and feelings.
I continue to adore many of the paths and characters. I wish we got more of Alissa as a feeder, without her kicking you off the squad and ending things before they get good.
Fat Alissa is possibly my favorite route, followed by fat Ashleigh, and then any feedee self route. Iām really not THAT into mutual gain, so unfortunately it feels like Iām fighting hard to make the right choices to stay on contrast.
I experienced an odd bug where when doing an Ashleigh path, I randomly got an Al ending.
I donāt like how railroady the game can feel sometimes. Despite the many choices and paths, at the end of the day, I kinda just pick between āFat Player, Fat Ashleigh, Mutual Gain w/ Ashleighā for her routes, with the only differences between the individual choices within being specific fun events, which are nice, but feel emptier whenever they add to the same results.
Much more frustrating, however, is the frequent amount of times the game broke the fourth wall to say āno you canāt do thatā when I made choices I thought might be interesting.
Bitching about things aside, I had fun. The stories vary in quality and interest, but are all generally fun and sexy. I really like the models, the girls look great at fatter sizes - too bad it ends right when it gets really interesting size-wise.
Hi thanks for the feedback.
The bug you mentioned will be fixed in the bugfix patch coming later on today. I view the novels choices a bit like a tree with each chapter bringing more story branches. However I canāt have endless branches meaning some scenes will lead to the same story path. The point of having these scenes therefore is to provide better replayability. (That might be a made up word).
As for the 4th wall breaks, it was a deliberate stylistic choice, I wanted the Narrator to be a bit sarcastic and judgemental of you the player. It would be interesting to see what the general player concencus of that approach is. I could always rewrite sections of narration if thatās what most people wanted.
This was great, Iām glad youāve continued to work on it. I didnāt mind the 4th wall breaks, especially the one at the cafe with Alissa was pretty funny.
Hi! Is it possible to share a guide on how to reach certain endings? It feels like I can always reach just two endings for each character, and I donāt know what Iām doing wrong???
Hello, there are 9 endings, three for each character. You should be able to find them simply by playing through multiple times for each character, making different choices leading to seeing different scenes and getting all the endings. However fear not, there will be a flow chart guide out soon to help anyone who wants it
I just wanted to say I loved the old demo. I donāt use Patreon because I canāt afford to support monthly creators, so is there a chance to have a one time purchase (maybe on Itch.io) at some moment? And will this and/or future updates become public in the future?
Hereās a list of some errors and mistakes from part one. Honestly about 95% of the sentences are missing periods. There is a lot of capitalization mistakes with the names of food and places, enough is often spelled wrong and some other general issues. With the amount of mistakes I was not able to document them all due to time.
There are POV mistakes with narration often the perspective switches from first, second, and third person very frequently. And the fourth wall breaks kind of took me out of the game often. The jokes didnāt land very well with me and were kind of cringey in my opinion. Maybe itās just not to my taste and thatās fine but I know I was often taken out of the experience because of it.
I do like what is here, there is a lot of content and different scenes to see. My favorite content was probably Alissaās (due to the fact that I like feeder protag focused content generally and like submissive feedees as well) Ashleigh is probably my favorite girl though. And Ashās route is a close second to Alissaās for me. I think the visuals look good, the changing and of clothes, places visited, and girls feel different and unique enough to each other and the routes donāt feel the same which is good. I like all routes with the girls being fatter than the protag the most.
There are multiple instances of Alissaās mutual and Alissa fatter week transitions that pop up in Ashās route which I believe has been mentioned (not sure if itās documented where it happens. For me it was the lingerie store and the going back the second time to the burger place during Ashās route.)
I think the writing outside of narration feels fine, it felt natural to me and I liked the content that was there.
I also mocked up a little quickie guide for anyone that needed it before the official one comes out. Obviously there are many ways to get to the nine total endings (three for each partner) but listed in the guide is some of the ways you can.

Hello, firstly thanks for taking the time to create such an in depth review. Part One.1 should be released this week, that will include most of the grammatical fixes suggested.
Periods are a deliberate omission, this was the case in the Demo too. A period (as Iām sure you know) normally denotes the end of a sentence, splitting paragraphs up so that when being read itās not a breathless and meaningless text wall. However in a visual novel where every sentence is punctuated by the click of a mouse, theyāre in my view unnecessary. Or maybe I just forgot to mention the game is set in a universe without correct punctuation.
In all seriousness I will endeavour to improve on what youāve mentioned here, both in the fixes for Part One and the development for Part Two. The guide youāve created is much appreciated.
Awesome game, absolutely worth the wait. All the new parts added are so much fun! I think most people are waiting to see if it will be released to the public to try it, which hopefully soon in order to attract more users. None the less, awesome game!!!
Hi guys, the Patreon now has a new version, PartOne.1. This contains bug fixes, spelling and grammar fixes and a slight balancing to help solve the fact that some endings are easier to find than others. Also Iāve created three flow charts to help anyone who wants to see how the different choices directly effect the story paths.

I really enjoyed this update. Itās a really enjoyable game, and I finally just got through all of the new updates. I wanted to provide some thoughts.
Highlights:
- The sheer quantity of content you provided in this update was fantastic. There were so many different scenes that unfolded, providing so much variety in really fun scenes
- Having three different characters each with different tendencies was really enjoyable and helps replay. I enjoyed the difference between mean feeder, nice feeder, and more partner in crime made for some fun contrasts
- I love that cheerleading is incorporated but not the end all be all. It helps to provide some background and fun scenes, without being overbearing and too much
- I really like how you can shift between different paths. So even if I start on the feedee path, I can turn it into the mutual gain path. It makes the game feel more alive
Critiques:
- There are enough spelling and grammar mistakes that it does make it feel less polished and at times harder to read through
- While I donāt mind the narrator interventions as much as some others, there are situations in which it feels overdone and I would like to see it a little less
- Some of the scenes feel entirely unrealistic. That isnāt to say they arenāt enjoyable! But it does feel like a total fantasy, rather than something that might actually happen
All in all though, this game feels like it knows what it wants to be and executes that very well, which is so much fun to play.
Thanks for playing. Iām glad you enjoyed the game. Narration wise, a few people have mentioned this so Iām going to focus on a more traditional narration for Part Two. Less wisecracks and forth wall breaks. Scenes wise I have put a post on Patreon for anyone who wants to contribute Ideas for scenes they would like to see.
Piping up to say I loved the narrator lolllllllllllll. Part two better be all narrator!
Only gone through one route so far, but Iām loving it! Didnāt find the narration too bad in that one honestly
Interesting, it seems my narration approach really divides opinion. This might require a poll to try and sort out.
Patreon Poll results are in, overall opinion of the Narrator is to keep the same personality, but tone it down a little and none of those pesky fourth wall breaks. Work on Part Two is progressing well, I have plans for several scenes and renders are being done daily.
Patreon will Part One release here - patreon.com/ChunkyCheerleader
