Developer notes:
- If you haven't tried it yet, please consider playing using auto-advance! That's the way the story was developed and how it was staged! The cinematic nature of the storytelling lends itself well to this type of interaction. You can always adjust the advance speed in Preferences, or click or press space/return to advance if the pauses are too long for your liking.
NOTE
Confusion is a drama. It is an emotional tale that endeavors to be true-to-life. Unfortunately, when it comes to transgender individuals, in the real world, that life tends to be dramatic. Scary. Abusive. Confusion tells a story, which will hopefully increase your awareness of the threats of today's world when it comes to people who just want to be true to who they are. No one should have to hide who they are or who they love, just because some random people disagree with it. Transgender inviduals experience love, sex, and sexuality just like everybody else. Just be warned that while Confusion strives to be erotic in its approach to sex, it is not a fap-fest. It is not a tale designed simply to move you from one sex scene to the next. Consider yourself warned.

I would say the prologue was great, but he should be gay, not trans, that's such an obvious thing many will see it as negative to some degree. I was a little disappointed, because nothing else in the game was "obvious"....! Unless there's a "Confusion 2"!
š How is that conclusion āsuch an obvious thingā based on your reading of the story? Alex never experienced any sexual attraction at all until later in life. Young Alex saw a psychologist for years before she was diagnosed with gender dysphoria. Gender does not mandate sexual attraction, in fiction or in real life, and contrary to what the Right would have you believe. Thatās part of the message I was trying to convey.
Outstanding! Really great written and i'd love to recommend this to some people who see trans as weird and stuff. I bet it really would change their view. But the fact this is a porn game and also with lots of incest makes it a bit tough š
But putting that aside, it's a really deep and emotional story, love it!
Thanks. Technically, foster children doesnāt qualify as, you know, but yeah, there is sex in it. I prefer to call it āeroticaā versus āporn,ā but yeah.
Though, trans people have sex and relationships as well, which is one of the things I was trying to communicateā¦
Yeah i just noticed itch wasn't the place i found it on. I installed that relations patch, thought it was made by you and the intended way to play. I mean come on, foster twins? :DD
And yes of course trans people have sex and relationships, did i make it sound weird? My point wasn't about the mc being trans, but this being a porn game in general. You don't just go around recommending porn games, telling everyone you play them. My close friends sure, but i was talking about some people i just know. ^^
is there a way to have sex with Elliot?
Not beyond Ellieās nightmare in Chapter 8. It just didnāt fit the narrative, and I felt it would have been just a step too far for Alexās F-it-all path.
I paid for the game way back on 30 June 2023. I am sure not many paid for the game, so I will help by buying the Steam version when it comes out. But, in any event, anyone who hasn't paid for it needs to pay for this finale (0.9) update! It's an important game that needs to be seen!
this is pretty great, will it eventually be on steam? I would love to buy it there
Yes, it will be on Steam in the next few months. Fingers crossed. š¤
hooray
Holy shit. The story is amazing! I made different saves for different routes. I saw that Chapter 10 will be the final chapter. Hopefully, Alex will go out swinging. Is there a chance at an epilogue?
Wow! Thanks so much!
Thatās why the finale is taking so long to finish. Chapter 10 and the Epilogue are essentially two chapters in one. Iām finishing up the last of the animations this month. (Health issues notwithstandingā¦)
Thanks!
Oh nice! Take your time. Your health, mental and physical, come first. :)
Thank you for the update! I still say this is the best AVN out there, and when Chapter 10 is finished, you should definitely put it on Steam and GOG! I think it will sell like crazy!
Will chapter 10 be the last?
Yes, chapter 10 is the final chapter. It will also include a fairly extensive epilogue as well, which is almost as long as an entire chapter unto itself.
I audibly said NOOOO when it said to save because I reached the end of Chapter 9 and had to wait for 10, so you know this story is good. Its so good
Any chance anyone knows where to find a taboo patch for the game? Or anything similar to tha
Great update really loved the transformation with the shorter hair and the pink dress and the behavior
A suggestion that Alex finds out that alteast it was Brad who took the photos somehow and that she make him get a taste of his own medicine
Like it happened with Zoey or soemthing similar if you Choose being Evil. Looking forward to upcoming update
Good Luck
Nice to see an update... Bought this game last year, so I am glad it's still moving forward. I think there's enough of the game now for a Steam and GOG release under "early access", where I think it will sell like crazy!
waiting very impatiently for next chapter… the ending of chapter 7 shocked me. I need to know what happens next
Question: is it Glenn or Sam that see Alex? I couldnāt tell
It was Glenn. Hilarity ensues. š¤Ø
I hope Glenn is drunk…
What's new in this update nvm I just rade it no need to tell me
I'm not very far in and it's already breaking my heart the way Elliot treats Alex. (;ļ¹;) And Glenn not standing up for her doesn't help...
It make take me a while to get through this one...
Thanks for playing. ā¤ļø Everyone will get what they deserved before the end of the story. Both good, and badā¦
Bravo! Just bravo! The development between this version and the previous is outstanding, the story engaging and the character are believable. Tender, traumatic and engaging, just brilliant
I've enjoyed playing Confusion so far. It has a compelling storyline with interesting characters. The ending of chapter was seriously messed up and made me angry, but I'm looking forward to continuing Alex's story. The way the game has played out so far has me concerned about the final ending. It's a shame that we won't get to see more adventures of Alex and Chris. I definitely would love to see more of these 2 characters in another game.
Thanks for your comments. I know chapter 6ās ending was rough, but it sets up Alexās path for the rest of the story. I tried my best to warn people that it was coming, but itās still hard to visualize until you actually see it. You can only have true highs once you experience some true lows as well, right? The main issue is that itāll be another 3 to 4 months until the next chapter releases, so try not to let your imagination run wild. Rest assured that everyone involved will get whatās coming to them, more or less, by the time things wrap up in the final chapter.
I have just watched the scene of Alex and Chris, after both got dumped by their partners. Have to say, one of the most tender love scenes I have scene in any AVN, bar none. So please find a way to write another chapter somewhere in the story you've written, and make the game a little longer. It's just too good!
I can't subscribe to your SubscribeStar account because you have accepted their advice to limit the amount of SS accounts I can simultaneously support.
Iāve disabled the filter. You should be good to go, and thanks for your support!
I have just started playing chapter 5, and the game has got more serious! I think your very brave to write this game, and think the subtle way you are showing us why characters are the way they are is superlative! Well done, Sir! This is a game for the Ages...!
Hate to say it, but things will get even more āseriousā as time goes on. This isnāt a romance. Everybody has a breaking pointā¦ š
It's why this game needs to be known.....
And do you intend to lengthen the chapters? There was another game I played that followed this chapter schedule and it seemed like when I moved on to the next chapter it was a little longer than the last one, so I was wondering if you would follow that schedule too AVNSax.
Thanks for your questions.
Iām aiming for 8 to 10 weeks of development time per chapter. Depending on what else is going on in my life, it might stretch to 12 weeks on occasion. Confusion was always meant to be a short story, not a never-ending, open-ended cash grab like many other VNs. Iām constantly amazed by the number of VNs Iāve played where the author seemingly just makes it up as they go along. Or they write their āstoryā to simply maximize the number of fetishized H-scenes they can present. I finished writing my script almost a year ago, so the lead time per chapter is just creating and rendering the models. I know whatās going to happen and how the story will end.
I tell people this is a visual ānovellaā instead of a ānovel.ā The chapters are about an hour long if you take the time to read the individual screens. And it is definitely not meant to be a fap-and-run adventure. Many of those are available here if thatās oneās predisposition.
Another factor is the visual style. Iāve always wanted the visuals to be cinematic in scope instead of simple sprites or static screens spread over tens of lines of dialog each. One VN I recently played featured black screens for a lot of its dialogue, as though the author either couldnāt figure out how to present the visuals or just couldnāt be bothered. Chapter 3, as short as it might seem, required 1,299 renders alone, more than many VNs need for their entire length.
All that said, the first three chapters were expository in nature. Chapter 4 (which Iām working on now) is slightly longer than the preceding ones and coincidentally includes the longest scene in the entire VN. But the remaining chapters are all about the same length except for the final two, where all of the storyās threads are wrapped up (along with several different endings).
I hope I answered your questions!
Not sure what you mean. If you mean more stories using the Confusion characters, then no. Itās hard to explain why except that the ending would make that really difficult. After Confusion, Iām planning a short comedy piece, essentially a parody of visual novel tropes. After that, itāll have been at least 18 months and what I work on after that is kinda up in the air.
I agree totally with you. I have said elsewhere, this is an important story to finish, and put on Steam and GOG. I doubt there ever be another AVN, where the MC is transgender! That's why this game needs to be known by many people!
How often does a new update come out AVNSax? I'm excited, but I know it takes time so instead of asking when it's going to come out I'd like to know, more or less how often under normal conditions they are released.
Hello! Is it compatible with Apple M1? I've tried to launch ch3 but it's instantly stopped
Um, I believe so. I only have Intel Macs to test with, but I donāt see any reason why it shouldnāt work on M1 unless the Python interpreter is somehow having issues. Have you tried running it with Rosetta? Iāll ask around and see if anyone knows of any obvious issues.
Can you send me the log.txt and traceback.txt files so I can investigate this further? Thanks.
This is probably a case of ātoo little, too late,ā but the VN should run fine using Rosetta, according to RenāPyās author. The next version of RenāPy will feature native M1 (ARM) supportāso the next release of Confusion should run natively then.

Try it now. Seems somehow the server configuration got borked. It should work now.
