April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberIt's a visual novel. So it's a series of pictures with a lot of story and options to choose from which, of course, affect your story outcome.

MemberI really like what they have so far. The overall story seems interesting enough and it does a fair job of conveying an overall sense dangerous mystery. My biggest complaint so far is that despite it being written in the first person form I don't really feel connected to the main character at all. The game also feels like it's not even halfway finished with the story, but overall it seems really good and I'm anticipating it's completion.

MemberThe sex scenes aren't first person, and kinda sucks because I've peeked at the one with Rotis in the shower and he looks like a dog in it, and both the human and his body look awkward as hell.
