Info about Cherry Kisses:

Official game description:
Cerise the gelbeast is the proprietress of Cherry Kisses, a charming little pink sex shop in one of Dewclaw's "amorous zones". She loves to make her customers happy, _wink wink_. Well, she's not really the type to wink; she'll just ask if you'd like to have sex before you go.  
It's up to you to play through a week running her shop! Cerise is pretty easy-going, so sleeping with customers isn't very difficult, but what will you do when there are more folks around than you have time to deal with? They won't all stick around forever, and the choices you make will ripple throughout the rest of the week. Or you can just not worry about it — there are no bad endings, and you don't _have_ to make everyone happy.  
But watch out — someone keeps trying to sneak in and ruin everyone's good times...  
Cherry Kisses has all the features you'd expect from any triple-D titty. I mean, title. Sorry, don't know how that happened.  
*   **Sex!** Talk to characters and then probably do sex with them. Features a variety of genders and body types and kinks, and is pretty upbeat throughout!  
*   **Kitten mode!** If you prefer, you can play with delightful kittens tastefully censoring all the juicy bits! Good for arguing that the game is now "technically SFW", or for folks who enjoy raunchy stories but not cartoon animal genitals. The text is still _disgraceful_, though.  
*   **Metanarrative puzzle!** There's only _one way_ to satisfy everyone in a single playthrough, and finding it is a bit of a puzzle. But there are no bad endings, only slightly fewer sex scenes, so feel free to ignore this entirely!  
*   **The slow, unrelenting passage of time!** A couple hours to read through once; half a day to find everything. Maybe. Hard to say for sure; I spoiled myself ahead of time by writing it.  
*   **Autosave!** Every hour on the hour, so you never lose your place and can't savescum! I wonder if there's a way to unlock text skipping?  
*   **Secrets!** Did you see everything? Are you _sure_? Do you think we might be the kind of maniacs who'd put effort into making several entire sex scenes, only to squirrel them away in an entire chain of obscure secrets and then not even give you an achievement for finding them because they should be their own reward?  
*   **Developer commentary!** Somewhere. Or nowhere.  
*   **In-engine trailer!** Run the game with --trailer to play through the trailer! I don't know why you would do this!
