Description
Welcum to the City: Family Secrets and Forbidden Desires
Quiquersson’s Welcum to the City isn’t your typical family reunion story. Sure, you’re returning to your childhood home, but this homecoming is shrouded in a veil of unspoken desire and long-suppressed feelings. Following the tragic death of your father, life throws you a curveball. Your estranged stepmother, Sophia, extends an unexpected invitation – a chance to move back into the house you once called home, a place where memories of childhood innocence and a fractured family dynamic intertwine. But time, as they say, has a way of changing things.
You, now a grown man, return with a different perspective. The playful innocence you once shared with Sophia’s daughter, Lily, has morphed into something more – an undeniable spark of attraction fueled by years of separation. Welcum to the City delves into the complexities of forbidden desires and the blurring lines within a family unit. As you settle back into your old room, the once-familiar space now feels charged with unspoken tension. Sophia, a woman who once mothered you, now carries a hint of something else in her gaze – a yearning that mirrors your own. Lily, once a playful little sister, blossoms into a captivating young woman, her youthful innocence replaced by a budding sensuality that both excites and terrifies you.
The gameplay revolves around navigating this web of unspoken desire. Through conversations, shared experiences, and moments of stolen intimacy, you forge connections with both Sophia and Lily. Each woman presents a unique challenge – Sophia, with the power dynamics inherent in a maternal figure, and Lily, with the emotional complexities of a forbidden attraction. Welcum to the City offers a branching narrative, where your choices determine the course of these relationships.
Will you succumb to the undeniable allure of a forbidden romance with Lily, blurring the lines of family forever? Or will you explore the rekindled spark with Sophia, confronting the emotional baggage of your past and redefining the boundaries of the word “family”? The choices you make will shape your relationships, leading to a variety of potential endings, each exploring the consequences of desire, family secrets, and the pursuit of forbidden love.
Are you ready to return to the city and confront the desires buried beneath the surface? Step into the world of Welcum to the City and embark on a passionate journey of forbidden love, family secrets, and the choices that will define your future.
Changelog
v0.13.0
- Interface Rework: buttons are more prominent and colorful so you know what is a button and what is just an icon, they are also bigger to be more easily clickable by mobile players.
- Interaction Rework: character interaction is now divided into: chat; touch; hang out; and give item. Each character must react differently to different types of interactions, depending on their personality (PROTOTYPE: For now it’s only available for your neighbor, and only her casual outfit should appear in touch scenes, even if she’s wearing something else).
- Stat Points Rework: Charisma are now adquired by interacting with other characters (mainly by talking and touching), and its training should only add bonus for point gaining. Also, bonus for charisma, inteligence, and physics works now like bonus for characters love, lust, and intimacy. You can get infinite bonus, but it will slightly decrease at the end of the day. Intimacy is gain when you spend time with a character and when they know more about you. Love is gain when you do or say something the character likes, and is lost otherwise.
- Character Memory: characters store information about you, and may react differently depending on what they know about you. (PROTOTYPE: Characters may exchange information about you and other characters in the future, like a gossip mechanic. You can always try to please the character by saying things they like to hear, but if those things conflict with things another character has heard, they will consider you to be lying and stats may greatly decrease. For now it’s only available for your neighbor).
- Rhythm Minigame: you can dance as a hang out activity with a character. Dancing increases character’s love points based on your score, and intimacy based on the music length. (PROTOTYPE: The speed of buttons is still not stable and can be quite disruptive. I tried to take a real time reading so that the buttons could move at the same speed on different operating systems regardless of the FPS, but I’m still learning how to make it work well and couldn’t get it balanced. So, consider choose the music option that better fit in your operational system. For now it’s only available for your neighbor).
- Money and Item: You can earn money by helping students study in the afternoon at the library. To do this, you need to have more than 10 intelligence points. With the money you can buy items. Items can be used or given as gifts to characters. (PROTOTYPE: For now it’s only available for your neighbor).
- Hygiene and Energy: energy mechanics have been reworked. Now it reduce slight over time and can recover from some items and activities. Hygiene system has been implemented. The amount of hygiene slightly influences the amount of charisma gain and can increase intelligence and charisma attributes when showering. Hygiene points reduce slightly over time and significantly with physical activity. The idea is that the bath can activate some erotic scenes (PROTOTYPE: Not yet fully functional).
- Bug Fix: part 2 of stepsis’ quest will no longer get stuck forever if you fail to wake her up the following day of the quest part 1 and do the part 1 more than once. Now you can do part 1 as many times as you want, and the part 2 should be there on the following day.
v0.12.0
- Pseudo-Anime Opening: Yay! Now we have an opening! (You can disable the intro in the settings if you find it too annoying when opening the game xD)
- Parallax Main Menu: It moves based on your mouse/finger position. Some layers didn’t work well on my phone, so, maybe it isn’t full accessible yet, but you can disable it on settings if you don’t want it
- Android Building: I (finally) learned how to change android icon and loading screen! Yaaay!
- Audio Rework: Some musics are added and others were replaced to new ones. Audio channels have been reorganized so that different types of audio can have individual customizations. A channel for Background Environment was created, and the game sounds were separated into an effects channel and a voice channel. (Edit channel volume as you wish in audio settings, and check out its soundtrack in the player menu).
- Interface Rework: Menu buttons are larger and organized vertically on the right to be more visually attractive. The item menu is still in the prototype phase.
- Naming System Rework: Now you can generate specific types of names for characters (for now, only Brazilian and fantasy names). Also, the game now detects repeated names and prevents you from having characters with the same name, whether generated or written. You can repeat surnames of characters who have a family relationship. Since your stepmom’s niece and mother are not directly related to you, they only can have the same surname as yours if your stepsis and stepmom also have.
- Quest Rerganization: Unknown characters won’t be available at first, so you need to complete their first scenes. To find it, just check the content info in character menu to know how to unlock new characters to interact.
- Referenced Character System: Love, lust, and intimacy points now have bonuses that you can earn during some game scenes (usually when commenting on a character not present). Bonus/Onus points have no maximum limit, but are reduced every day until they reach zero. Girls’ crush counters for your rival, which was added in the previous version, are now part of this new system. Manage your influence on people wisely.
- New Scene: Talk to the gal girl during your class to know her a little more and unlock her as interactable character.
- Bug Fix: Dialogue windows are no longer open when they should be hidden (this used to happen mainly after the player clicked the button to hide the dialogue window).
- Bug Fix: Dialog beeps no longer make annoying repeats when the settings menu is opened.
- Bug Fix: Screens and buttons that should only appear in the Player Menu (phone icon) no longer continue to appear when you close it (this bug used to happen mainly when exiting the image gallery).
v0.11.0
- Guide Menu: Game info are now on a guide menu. Check it to know about the game mechanics, minigames, and general info.
- Reworked H Minigame: Now your PHY stats greatly increases your performance in H-Scenes. Go to doctor’s office at the end of Day 2 if you want to check it.
- Updated Scene + New Minigame: Join stepmom’s in her yoga workout at Sunday afternoon and help her to increase her legs flexibility.
- Rival System: A girl’s crush counter for your rival has been created, and now you can influence girls minds so that they feel less or more interest in him. (PROTOTYPE: The only thing currently implemented is the influence counter. Nothing happens yet. The idea is to propose a light challenge, where with each passing day some girls become more or less interested in your rival, according to events in the game and your actions, and that you can manipulate the course of events however you want, if you can.)
- New Scene: Talk to the clumsy girl in the school hallway, know her a little more, and influence her mind about her crush.
- New Language: Now the game is available in Spanish!

- Available Translation: Translation files are now available in the game “tl” folder so it can ease the work of translators with tests
- Android Building: I changed the amount of RAM allocated from 1GB to 2GB, as some people reported that the game crashes more often after I changed from 3GB (versions 0.7 below) to 1GB (versions 0.8 and 0.9). As I analyzed, 3GB of RAM leaves the game too heavy; 1GB of RAM leaves the game better optimized, but unstable for some people; so I’m leaving it with 2GB of RAM now to test if it improves or not (It worked well on mine)

That said, there’s already an addition of 2 new breasts sizes and changes on the 3 old ones (Small breasts are even smaller; medium breasts are added; big breasts are a little bit bigger; great breasts are added; and huge breasts are even bigger!.

Where you can choose everything more organized, and even quick, with randomizations for those who prefer not to spend a lot of time on creation and go to the game soon. Click on New Game to see the changes.
- Writing Rework: Several lines were corrected or redone with the help of proofreaders. If you think it got better, thank them, cos you know how my English is (>w<).
- Step-Sis Storyline Rework: Step-Sis’s intro dialogue and park scene were temporarily hidden from the game and should be available on following updates.
- Step-Cousin Appearance Rework: She has hazel eyes now. Yes, a change of such importance could not be out of changelog.
