Ok, not bad... a batty implausible plot....but that is what I LOVE about AVNs.
Some criticism though. Consider them constructive.
First, SHOW do not TELL... the final scene of the game thus far with Helen, needs to be reworked as part of the next update. Truly. If it progresses from one certain... happening... in one way.... in one place.... to all the happenings mentioned in the descriptor text when it fades to black, before the end scene with Lexi and DD.... THEN YOU NEED SHOW THAT. It might hard, take time... but that should be a scene which you put that effort in to. All positions, all angles, SHOWN. It is not great for an AVN. If it was just a VN, without the A bit, as fundamental, you could get away with it. But in an AVN, where the A bit is front and centre, like this game... starting a scene... then fading and out and saying ...oh, and blah blah blah else happened too.. in a text note is not the best.
I appreciate that the devs first language might not be English...so there might be something lost in translation. However, in its current form, the Never Have I Ever scene feels REALLY juvenile. It is also in comprehensible that a 20 something year old woman, who obviously is a University graduate, because she a teacher, and who used to be a gang leader in her teens before turning her life around.. is a virgin. Likewise, whilst I know it is just a cover story... a 20 something model, high enough in the industry to be a cover girl on fashion mags also conveniently being a virgin too? I know a woman who was a maybe one or two rungs down from Paris/Milan/New York catwalk model... but high enough in the industry to be a Billboard model for companies like Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren.. the BARE minimum level you have to be, be considered to be a cover girl.. and has always repeated the one thing I would not believe is the S*X, everyone was having it. It was worse than the most ridiculous porn at times, she claims. After parties, with Rock stars, billionaires, and politicians, competing with pop stars, socialites and nepo baby aristocrats. Those might not seem a bridge too far for suspension of disbelief by themselves.. those improbable virginities... but the juvenile Never Have I Ever game being their context? Yup. Just too corny and juvenile so really slaps that improbability in your face, and breaks any immersion.
DD/ Lexi: Ok I get the Dev has things to say between progression sometimes... many AVNs will do that, though honestly, it is NOT needed. But decide what she, DD, is there for. Is she part of the candy, or just a guide? Why make her some tease queen? It does not add anything to the game at all. And Lexi? Where the F did she even come from? Just some rando Pastel Doll shows up mid game? Ok. But. Um. Why? Unless the new girl next update is going to BE Lexi... it really is confusing. I am sorry, not trying to be harsh, but a slightly pointless double act that does not add anything to the game. When the game is finally finished, I would recommend going back, and removing all those scenes.. they can work helping day 0 players, just updating as new EPs release.. but will wholly unnecessary in the finished game, unless they actually DO something in the game.. or make good on their little sexy interludes, and put on a show, whilst something loads, or something. They became EXTREMELY annoying by the end of what we have so far.
Never the less... for what they are.. so far... the scenes are great, the girls are lovely, and varied, and I think there is one heck of a game potentially in the making. We have not really had many actual... full... s*x.. scenes... but I like what we got... though I would suggest the actual scenes be longer, and blocked/angled/'shot' more like actual adult film scenes... really proving an eyeful of the girls, there was a lot of POV, or close ups... and that is fine.. so long as there is also full shots, of the women, were we can really see them... doing their best. :P
I will give this 3/5 for NOW... which is actually HIGH for me, for an incomplete game. I suspect that will 11 out of 10, once this game is finished. I have high hopes.
I have to agree with the first point. Having that moment with Helen, and then having it cut off while implying far more happened, felt kind of cruddy. I can understand that scenes like that take a lot of effort, but simply saying "and then they banged like three more times" seems like a failure to deliver.
That said, I really enjoy what we have so far, and I'm curious to see where the story goes from here. Looking forward to future updates.
Yeah critically imperative in AVNs that you SHOW, instead of tell, for the A scenes.... otherwise it is just a VN, really, is it not? That was a really poor outcome, but perhaps they will address that in a new update. It DOES happen right at the end of the game as it stands now. They can go back and rework that seen to show it in full, I am sure.
I've downloaded and played this game on my computer before. After the new update, I downloaded it again using the link provided for my computer. But the game won't open on my computer. You made a mistake while compressing it. I tried both WinRAR and 7Zip, but they still won't open the game. You should update the link or create an alternative link for your computer. Thanks!
I appreciate that you are trying to help with a possible problem, but you're the only one experiencing this. You should try redownloading the file from other sources. For example, if you downloaded from MEGA, then try Google, or vice versa.
Just to let you know, I wanted to buy the game for $5 because of the censoring stuff, but three times I got errors after finishing with PayPal ad going back to itch.io. I don't know if you need to check on this. I will try again tomorrow
https://osiris2842.itch.io/the-neuronauts Is you can, add mine to the list, I was about ready to launch my first one as a demo and this whole disaster happened. Hopefully launching in 2 weeks max
An organization called Collective Shout has sent a petition to Mastercard, Visa, and other credit organizations to have games like these banned, and Mastercard complied, holding Itch.io and Steam hostage, forcing them to comply as well.
Concerning the removal of NSFW content from content creator platforms such as Itch.IO, Steam, and other platforms containing authors expressing themselves:
Capitulating to the credit card companies over sexual content is worse than banning books from a library for it's content. Fictional works are just that, fictional. Banning it's content base on someone else's conservative views is simply puritanical. It's an infringement on the rights of the authors to express themselves as individuals. In the U.S. it is an infringement of the 1st Amendment.
It would be ok to make safeguards that make security tight around the sales of such content, so that age verification, and rights waivers can be verified before payment is made, but outright banning the content is wrong. Shame on any platform that capitulates to the payment processors in this regard. Shame on the payment processors for capitulating to a single campaign of 70000 people who don't necessarily speak for the other 7 Billion people on the planet.
Btw,I might have problems in next update as I'm playing with Android 14. Yeah, the Android/data/ folder is completely blank even I access it with PC. I still trying to figure this out as it will very helpful with any cases, not only saving game's data. I tried using Xarchiver, FV File Explorer, and, I think it's called Shizu or something. With Shizu, I haven't tried the SAF as I don't have any WiFi with network connection. So, anyone have any tips to access the folder? You may have my gratitude in advance 🙏
How do I get Helens Corruption up at the beginning I don't have enough points for this kiss and can only get 1 before it. there's only two interactions with her before the kiss the first one can only get a love point and the second interaction will either give you another love point or the 1 Corruption point which isn't enough for the kiss immediately after
Keep in mind that its only a rough estimate based on the time from the last update to this one. I have absolutly no insider informations. Maybe he has a lot of the story already written and it goes faster. Or starts rendering on more than one computer. Or he hit a wall with writing and needs more time. Anything is possible with such a project.
Just finished the 0.7 its great!, you did great remaking liz's hair but it's kinda weird when i look at her, & the motorbike when i saw it i said "i know where this is going" *spoiler* and yeah thats where they go somewhere & helen open up's (seen things like this in other avns and movies) .And i think i need to restart and the game next update because some scenes are locked i need to fix the choices I've made...keep it up Dd!
What! It's over a year already? I just found out that my saves is a year ago and I've already deleted the game when I was done with it, if this saves are there even when I deleted the app and files a year ago, is it still fine or not? I don't want download it for me to find the answer because I don't want to waste my gb. Pls be fine
I don't understand what you mean by "download it for me" and what you fear of too. It's the intent that saves stay even if you delete the game so that you can install a new version later and play from where you stopped. Nothing wrong with it.
UPD: If you're not sure if your saves are there or not, then you can check them in these locations:
Android 10 or older - Android\data\RenPy\MurMur-#Numbers Android 11 or higher - Android\data\com.dd.murmur\files\saves
I mean is that my location area is low on network(data) and my storage space is lacking, that means I've got to delete something important then redownload it when I'm done playing your game but I don't want to download something that I've already play just to repeat the process because that takes a lot of time. (No saves)
Was it programmed to be like that "The intent that saves stay" because I deleted some certain visual novel and when the update comes I download it again and the saves file is nowhere to be found(The file manager renoy saves murmur) it seems the saves is deleted along with the visual novel, so, yeah, just to be sure, I don't want to stumble upon an error. If you say it's okay, I conjecture I believe your words for now.
By default, in any similar game, saves are deleted when the game is deleted. Which is an issue that some devs try to solve.
Almost from the beginning of the MurMur, all saves are stored separately from the game. From your words, it appears that you've played version 0.6.1 previously and after deleting the game they should've stayed there in the folder that I mentioned above. You can check if there are files to be sure that you haven't deleted them accidentally by yourself after deleting the game. If you played 0.6.1, then you can simply continue with 0.7.
I just finished 0.7 and it told me to save before the 'continue' page but when I went to save it wouldn't work the button was grayed out and unavailable. I just played this game for 5 hours straight and I do not want to restart all my progress... Please tell me you have a fix for this :(
Use the scroll wheel to roll back if you're on PC, or load previous autosave if you're on mobile. And for the future, it's best to save often if you don't want to lose your progress as it can be lost for different reasons I can't control :)

今年有机会更新吗
Can't promise anything, updates take time
How many days it will need to complete the game 100%
Days?
Then years?😁
Decades
Is story 100% complete?
No
Existe la posibilidad de una traduccion en el futuro?
Only after the game is finished
Do NOT click on links in any of the comment sections on itch.io!! Getting hacked or getting a virus is not fun.
That was an amazing game 👏
Glad you liked it ^^
glad to be back
glad for you
Español?
English only for now, but you can try to find fan translations online
So if I go romance route, is it not possible unlock all the sex scenes for a character?
Different routes - different scenes
这个游戏的剧情跟CG非常让我着迷，但是我的英文不是很好，这个游戏应该是目前没有中文，希望这位帅气的作者，在以后的时间能加一个汉语翻译，这个游戏真的很棒
You can find fan translations online
Hey quick question does it have like voiced or moaning sounds?
For now, only as demo for the small part of the game
I appreciate that you are trying to help with a possible problem, but you're the only one experiencing this. You should try redownloading the file from other sources. For example, if you downloaded from MEGA, then try Google, or vice versa.
Okey thanks.
Game is back in search, and spammers are immediately here. Oh the irony.
Just to let you know, I wanted to buy the game for $5 because of the censoring stuff, but three times I got errors after finishing with PayPal ad going back to itch.io. I don't know if you need to check on this. I will try again tomorrow
I can't control it by any means. And Itch.io has problems with PayPal and Stripe; that's the reason why games got delisted.
Since it's mostly the Search that has been disrupted on Itch, I collected all the links I had to pages that haven't been deleted, and save them to this collection: https://itch.io/c/6089350/find-all-the-avns-i-could-save-links-to
Save this link, share it, let me know if you have more. This will make sure people can still find our favorite stuff.
Thanks a lot brother I don't if anyone has said it but we appreciate your help :)
https://osiris2842.itch.io/the-neuronauts Is you can, add mine to the list, I was about ready to launch my first one as a demo and this whole disaster happened. Hopefully launching in 2 weeks max
Added. Thanks
Thank you!

This petition is already a hair's breadth from outsigning the Collective Shout petition. Sign it and stop this authoritarian bullshit.

Look up
When will the sequel be released?
No sequel, only continuation of the story, you can read comment down below.
我非常喜欢这个游戏的感情线，谢谢你让我玩到这款游戏
<3
Sorry, I know this is probably already on your radar, but this is the best way I know to get your attention
There's a couple of petitions to walk back what Collective Shout has done here, if you don't mind helping me spread them.
Look up
什么时候出后续内容啊
If you mean next updates, then I'm always working on it. Progress is above the comment section; will make a progress update post soonish.
Can you speak Chinese?
No
Game requiring additional permissions to open? Denied permissions expansion, and it crashed. What additionally does it need?
It asks for a storage permission to store your saves.
Can someone give me at least a hint to unlock the bathroom kiss scene for Ami? I can't seem to get even the option, even if i'm doing a love run.
Be nice to Ami, but don't indulge her.
Is Amy's kiss unlocked with corruption points? I seem to have tried all the options
No, and it seems like you haven't tried all of the options. ;)
Yeah I tried to be nice to shini but it didn't work only other scene of she can be unlock do i need to increase the love Of other characters?
Can you
explain it more whay do u mean dont indulge her and from what?You guys better to not deprave Yui's soul 😡
Btw, I like this pict as their armpits are exposed 😍
Btw,I might have problems in next update as I'm playing with Android 14. Yeah, the Android/data/ folder is completely blank even I access it with PC. I still trying to figure this out as it will very helpful with any cases, not only saving game's data. I tried using Xarchiver, FV File Explorer, and, I think it's called Shizu or something.

Where is no "Android\data\com.dd.murmur" folder?
How do I get Helens Corruption up at the beginning I don't have enough points for this kiss and can only get 1 before it. there's only two interactions with her before the kiss the first one can only get a love point and the second interaction will either give you another love point or the 1 Corruption point which isn't enough for the kiss immediately after
There are only 3 choices up to that point with her, not that much to guess from :)
we need Chinese
when is the new update?
Probably another 6 months i guess.
ow, okay I think I can wait
Keep in mind that its only a rough estimate based on the time from the last update to this one. I have absolutly no insider informations. Maybe he has a lot of the story already written and it goes faster. Or starts rendering on more than one computer. Or he hit a wall with writing and needs more time. Anything is possible with such a project.
Will have the option to kill the demon and just marry one of the girls?
If you kill Shinigami, mc dies
Bro did not understood the story HAHA.
Question. Are you going to add impregnation/pregnancy to the game?
It's one of the themes of the plot, can't say more
any progress next ver.? cant wait to play
I'm writing the script at the moment. Updates take time to produce :)
Are there any difference in love and lewdness stat?
Like maybe contents locked behind both stats, get one not the other type thing
Yes
Just finished the 0.7 its great!, you did great remaking liz's hair but it's kinda weird when i look at her, & the motorbike when i saw it i said "i know where this is going" *spoiler* and yeah thats where they go somewhere & helen open up's (seen things like this in other avns and movies) .And i think i need to restart and the game next update because some scenes are locked i need to fix the choices I've made...keep it up Dd!

Alright, looking forward to it.
Yeah i think your save would still work, just download the game and install. If not you should start a new game.
SO SO HAPPY to finally see 0.7 drop, and it was worth the wait!
Glad it is ^^
I just finished 0.7 and it told me to save before the 'continue' page but when I went to save it wouldn't work the button was grayed out and unavailable. I just played this game for 5 hours straight and I do not want to restart all my progress... Please tell me you have a fix for this :(

yeah, thank you I noticed if fked up big time but since you've made such a great game I'll replay it because ion wanna miss out.
at the end of 0.7, told me to save before the (continue) page
but, after this hint, the save button can't use . i didn't realize it can't use till the end so I didn't took picture.
Because it's said "Save before" and not after. This means that you have to scroll or press back, and then save.
emm，then the problem is，when i see the“save before”，the back button disappear.
in the future, 0.8 for example, maybe you can make a “save right now”?
I'll think about it
有中文吗
No
im just thinking, did the MC had a date with the MC himself?
and MC date with yui ,should count as 'date someone who is not MC'
weird thinking lol
What?
Oh and please more of Liz idk why im saying this when she's probably (obviously) the next one
You're correct :)
