Extra Inches

Editorial Has potential

Extra Inches arrives with a lot of goodwill earned early on: players consistently praise the hand-drawn art as genuinely impressive, the writing as unusually sharp for the genre, and the character designs — particularly the femboy leads — as a clear standout. The freedom given to the player's responses (both dominant and submissive options) is highlighted as a meaningful design choice, and several characters beyond the two mains have already built a following. Where the game stumbles creatively is in its branching logic: a specific criticism about the first update teasing a choice between hanging out with Jamie or Alex, only for both options to cancel out and deliver no payoff, suggests the narrative structure needs tightening. That aside, the core appeal is strong and the audience it is made for appears enthusiastic. The build situation is a different story. This is a very early-access project, currently sitting at version 0.2.x with updates arriving slowly and developer communication going quiet for weeks at a stretch — including at least one promised release date (June 7th) that passed without a word. The dev has been candid on Patreon about solo development, learning-on-the-job programming challenges, and a significant mid-development design pivot. The game is absolutely mid-development, content is sparse relative to its ambition, and update cadence is unreliable. Best approached by waiting for a content-rich release rather than following it week to week.
